Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Sorry, do you hate it? It's a pity you can't change it."

Bai Weiran laughed. By the campfire, everyone had stopped their discussion and were staring at them. When Bai Weiran laughed, everyone laughed along with him.

Bai Shimo smiled and gently nudged Qin Ning beside her with her elbow.

"...My brother is really bored, huh?"

Qin Ning glanced at her with her bright cat-like eyes, and surprisingly, she didn't immediately get angry because the person she liked was being slandered; instead, she remained calm and composed.

"Yes, it's very boring."

"I can't even figure out how I came to like this person in the first place."

A strange man with superpowers who suddenly appears, wearing a mask.

But even after removing the mask and his superpowers, he still didn't find himself annoyed at all.

Okay, Qin Ning has to admit, sometimes it does.

I hate that he loves his job, I hate that he's not romantic, I hate that he's argumentative, and I hate that he always wants to take responsibility for everything.

"If you had another chance, would you still like this person?"

Based on Qin Ning's past habits, she would answer without hesitation that she wanted to.

But this time she thought about it.

"I don't know. I don't know what didn't happen, and I can't assume what didn't happen."

“Well said, people really can’t assume things didn’t happen to them—” Bai Shimo sat up straight, a smile on her face.

That night, Qin Ning lay in bed and closed her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the scene before me had changed—

She was no longer inside the guesthouse. The walls were white and filled with the smell of disinfectant. A nurse was checking the instruments next to her. When she saw that she had woken up, her face was full of surprise and joy.

Chapter Sixty: Qin Ning's Dream (Part One)

Qin Ning immediately became alert and sat up, still wrapped in the blanket.

"...Who are you?"

The nurse wasn't too surprised by her reaction. She stood still, comforting her while calling for help outside.

"Miss Qin is awake, doctor, Miss Qin is awake."

Qin Ning's vigilant posture lasted only until the doctor and a middle-aged couple rushed into the room. Her face turned pale instantly, and she could only stare blankly at them. The middle-aged couple rushed over, hugged her tightly, and wept with joy.

"That's great, Ningning, it's good that you're awake!"

"Yes, you were unconscious the whole time, which terrified us. Thankfully, you're alright. If anything had happened to you, I would never forgive myself. I'd rather die than have anything happen to you!!"

Qin Ning was stunned and didn't resist at all, her thoughts in complete chaos.

How is this possible?

Mom and Dad are clearly dead.

He passed away a long time ago.

She was reborn in another world as Qin Ning, and for her, the current situation felt as distant as if it were a lifetime ago.

Until Qin's mother, who was holding her, gently scolded her.

"Ningning, what are you saying? What do you mean your parents passed away? Your parents are fine, they just have some scratches... Oh, honey, was Ningning traumatized by the car accident?" Qin's mother, who had cat-like eyes similar to Qin Ning's, anxiously turned to ask her husband.

“I think we should add another deep brain scan. It would be terrible if there were any problems. It’s best to find out as soon as possible. Your old classmate—no, I mean my high school classmate—is now a neurosurgeon in the United States. I’ll ask him to come over and examine Ningning.”

"We'll get the tests done in the country first. Don't worry, trust our doctors."

"I don't care. If Ningning gets into trouble, it will cost me my life."

Qin Ning stared blankly at the two men, who were holding her in their arms and showing her great care. She was still in a daze when she heard hurried footsteps outside the ward. The ward door was pushed open, and there stood a much younger Han Xin.

At this time, Han Xin still had hair, though it was clearly thinning, but his cheerful smile remained just as Qin Ning remembered.

"I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. Ningning is awake?"

"Hey, what brings you here? Isn't the company—"

Han Xin immediately put on a stern face.

"How can company matters compare to my niece waking up? You're worried, and I'm worried too. What are you talking about?"

"Thank you so much. It's all thanks to you arriving at the scene so quickly that my family was saved."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this for myself—if something happens to you, I'll lose a whole angel investment fund, how can I bear that!" Han Xin joked back, only to be lightly punched by Qin's father. The two then hugged each other, looking quite happy to have survived a calamity.

As Qin Ning looked at her father and Han Xin, images flashed through her mind.

Still in the hospital room, Han Xin sat by her bedside with reddened eyes.

"I'm sorry, I got there too late and couldn't help. I'm very sorry."

"But from now on, Uncle Han will be your family. If you have any questions, just tell Uncle Han."

The image flashed by, overlapping with the scene before my eyes, and gradually faded away.

It began to confuse her with reality.

Or was everything she had before just a very long dream?

Yes, that was more like a dream.

In her dream, she went to another world, and then she returned to this world. The incredible time travel, the incredible superpowers, the inexplicable scenes—these seemed more like a dream.

Now the dream is over.

Nothing happened around her; she simply woke up from the car accident years ago.

Xx

The hospital examination showed that Qin Ning was in good health and she was discharged and returned home after a week of rest.

Qin Ning gradually came to understand some things during this week.

Bai Weiran is not here.

At that time, Shile Company was just a startup.

It's new and small, and it hasn't developed its own blockbuster product yet. It's just a company with the same number of bosses and employees. Three founding members, three employees, and a group of people are working tirelessly day and night in a temporary office, putting together a table.

It's as if someone took away the most tortuous part of her life and, starting from the fork in the road, gave her a warm and sweet life again.

Qin Ning sat in front of the large French windows in her home, basking in the afternoon sun, her eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on her body.

She felt she should go find Bai Weiran and find out the current situation as soon as possible.

She remembers his entire life story and knows where he should be and what he should be doing.

But she hesitated to take action.

As soon as Qin's mother entered the room, she saw this scene. Seeing the sun shining on Qin Ning's beautiful, fair face, she felt a pang of heartache. She quickly came over and swiftly drew the blackout curtains to reduce the intensity of the light.

Turning her head, she saw Qin Ning quietly open her eyes and stare at her, her eyes dark and deep, conveying an emotion that was hard to decipher.

Qin's mother was taken aback for a moment, then gently scolded him.

"...You've just recovered from your illness, so don't sunbathe like that, or your eyes will get blurry."

"I did this on purpose because I wanted my mom to come in and draw the curtains to my bed."

"When did you learn to be so glib and mischievous?"

Qin's mother scolded her softly, but Qin Ning didn't care at all. She just patted the chair next to her, watched her mother sit down, and then leaned back leisurely, half-closing her eyes.

"I've already spoken with your school leaders, and you'll be able to go back to class next week."

"As for the lessons you've missed, Mom will arrange for a tutor to help you, so don't worry."

Qin's mother kept nagging, and Qin Ning only hummed in response before lazily remaining still.

Qin's mother thought she was asleep, but Qin Ning suddenly called out again.

"……Mother."

"……Um!?"

"When I was asleep, I said that I had a very long dream while I was in a coma after the car accident."

"…………? What dream?"

“I dreamed of other worlds, of the future, and of many girls like me.”

Qin's mother chuckled, as if coaxing a child's mischievous fantasy, and asked patiently in a low voice.

"A girl like our Ningning? She must be very beautiful, right? I really want to meet her."

"No, they don't look like me at all."

"...Where is it the same?"

“They are like me, they like someone so much that they would not care if they killed the other person. They don’t think there is anything wrong with that, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that either.”

Qin's mother gasped.

"Don't think like that, Ningning. How can a person do that? Talking nonsense is wrong."

Qin Ning sighed, like a child who couldn't get a toy, and hugged her mother even tighter.

"...Yes, Mom is right. It's wrong to think that way, and they're wrong too."

Qin's mother smoothed her hair, and Qin Ning slumped down, resting her head on her mother's lap, letting her mother comb her hair. Her face was languid, making her look more like a spoiled kitten.

She suddenly called out softly and indistinctly.

"Mother."

"Ok?"

"I want to choose my own tutor."
