Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Neither of the two men sitting at the bar turned their heads; they simply clinked their glasses together.

"Why did you suddenly decide to ask me to have a drink in the middle of the night?" Wu Ji asked with a smile.

"Something's not right. This doesn't suit your status as the eldest son of the Bai family."

Bai Weiran rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"This title has been around for ten years, please let it rest in peace!"

Wu Ji chuckled softly.

This was the nickname Bai Weiran was given by their classmates when they were in high school.

Bai Weiran has a self-confident temperament and is a person who always keeps his word. In fact, in the first year of high school, Bai Weiran's grades were average. His math and science grades were better, but still only above average. In the second year of high school, there was a difficult test, and Bai Weiran unexpectedly did well and broke into the top five in the class.

One of the students who usually gets good grades couldn't stand it and made sarcastic remarks during lunch.

To put it bluntly, Bai Weiran's good grades were a stroke of luck, and he should have used that luck for the college entrance exam instead of wasting it on his daily studies.

Wu Ji frowned, about to snap back, but then heard Bai Weiran slam the lid of the half-eaten lunchbox shut.

"Indeed, it should be used more often."

Next time? There won't be a next time.

Bai Weiran's grades soared during the midterm exams, completely crushing his opponent.

His classmates marveled – "Young Master Bai is a tough guy who doesn't talk much."

This matter didn't end there. At that time, they were both in the top class, and there would be a parent-teacher meeting after each exam to discuss the matter. The other student's parent also came and confronted Bai Weiran's mother in front of her, saying that her son only got such a good score because he was lucky.

The mother, gentle and refined with a smile, threw a small cake or pastry provided by the parents' meeting directly at the other person's face.

Perfectly centered on the tip of the nose, a perfect score of 10.

As a result, Bai Weiran's grades soared to their peak at the end of the semester.

She went from being in the top five of her class to third in the entire school.

When a classmate asked Bai Weiran why he was so fierce, he replied with one sentence—

"I only wanted to beat him once, but I ended up beating him in one go."

He was so pretentious and so skilled, yet impossible to dislike. So, the class gave Bai Weiran a nickname: "Young Master Bai." The reason for "Young Master" was that Bai Weiran also had a younger sister.

Bai Weiran's younger sister is four years younger than him. She is incredibly cute and is a famous school beauty in the neighboring junior high school.

A bunch of people wanted Bai Weiran to introduce them to someone, but Bai Weiran's response was always: "For the sake of your lives, it's best not to."

Everyone says Bai Weiran has a sister complex, but only Wu Ji knows that Bai Weiran's words are sincere and that he is a conscientious older brother.

Wu Ji also knew that Bai Weiran wasn't pretending at the time.

It was because the other party had offended his mother.

When Bai Weiran's mother got home, she explained the whole story to her son with a smile, adding, "I even smashed the cake in the other person's face and made it public. Hey, my dear Weiran, you don't want to embarrass your mother, do you? No way, no way, no way?"

Bai Weiran, the young man: …………

It can be said that Bai Weiran acted impulsively the first time, but in the subsequent times he acted out of self-preservation.

Speaking of the past, Bai Weiran's face showed a mixture of regret and the ease of chatting with an old friend.

"You dare talk back to me, you rascal Wu?" he retorted.

Wu Jiren was handsome and had a pleasant voice. In high school, he was nicknamed "Prodigal Son".

He also has a favorite saying: "I want to give all the beautiful women in the world who have been mistreated a warm home."

Those who overheard this gave him sidelong glances, wanting to call him a scumbag and an enemy of women, but Wu Ji had never had a girlfriend.

Wu Ji prefers women with a classical Chinese style.

It's not the kind of ancient costume look that modern people cosplay; he genuinely loves ancient beauties.

In the past, Wu Ji would go to any exhibitions that were related to ancient Chinese beauties. Later, he had a relationship with a well-known Hanfu lady. They were ambiguous for two or three months before it ended.

Wu Ji herself commented on this, saying, "I like her when she's wearing Hanfu, not the real her. I really can't continue like this."

The two of them found it funny when they thought back on the past.

"Just tell me what's bothering you, okay?"

"...Can't I have a drink with you if I don't have any worries?"

“It makes sense for other people, but not for you. If you just wanted to chat and didn’t have any worries, you would have chosen to enjoy some healthy tea and hot pot instead of coming to a bar for whiskey without ice… But this whiskey is really good, bro, thanks for the recommendation!” Wu Ji said, raising his glass to the bartender.

The bartender wiping the glasses had just recommended a whiskey to them, saying it was made by a Chinese distillery.

But winning the championship in overseas whisky competitions for three consecutive years is a great source of pride for our people.

Wu Ji and Bai Weiran, without hesitation, supported their own people and chose this wine.

The light floral and fruity aromas are layered and rich, creating a fresh and sweet flavor.

The bartender smiled, poured himself a sip, raised his glass to the two of them, and drank it all in one gulp.

The greatest achievement and joy for any bartender is when customers appreciate the wine they recommend.

Bai Weiran paused for a few seconds, his fingers tracing the rim of the wine glass.

He kissed Qin Ning and didn't regret it.

But I always felt a sense of loss and a slight sense of guilt.

He wondered if this was a good thing.

Seeing his expression, Wu Ji exclaimed, "Let me guess, it's related to a woman?"

Bai Weiran neither confirmed nor denied it, which was tantamount to admitting it.

"...She's not my ex-girlfriend, is she?"

"Huh? How did we get to talking about her?"

Wu Ji rolled his eyes at him, "Your story has been spread far and wide, except for you."

No matter how low-key she tried to be, the project team members weren't blind or stupid. Everyone saw how Chen Tingting treated Bai Weiran differently and took the initiative to be friendly during the visit, and rumors kept circulating after they returned.

Some people speculate that Bai Weiran has been noticed by a product manager at Rednet and may be about to switch jobs.

Some say that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and perhaps this job change has other implications—good things are on the horizon.

Bai Weiran was speechless.

The fact that Wu Ji, a member of a project team who doesn't usually work in the same place but is responsible for secret development, could know about this shows how outrageous the rumor is.

"...Of course not."

"That's good, otherwise I would have gotten you drunk tonight and used this delicious whiskey to clear your head."

Bai Weiran remained silent for a long time before recounting Qin Ning's story, omitting the beginning and end and concealing the names of the people involved.

After listening, Wu Ji tapped his knuckles lightly on the table a few times and chuckled.

"This is truly a man's dream, Young Master Bai."

"If a girl is extremely emotionally unstable and has very low self-esteem in relationships, and is also described as a rich and beautiful woman, wouldn't that make every man feel incredibly happy?"

"If a girl like this likes you, shouldn't you open another bottle of wine to celebrate?"

Bai Weiran said helplessly, "Stop joking, I'm serious."

He was genuinely troubled.

I don't like relationships where the emotions are unequal.

Wu Ji smiled and poured him some wine.

"I'm serious, but don't rush, listen to me, don't be anxious."

"I know what kind of girl you like. You like someone who is smart and can be a strong rival to you from the very beginning."

That's why Bai Weiran got together with Chen Tingting in the first place.

Chen Tingting has her own fairy-like side when it comes to handling relationships, but she definitely has her own way of doing things at work. She is really smart, able to streamline workflows and manage upwards, keeping her superiors in line. As a product manager, she consistently delivers excellent results on projects, and her contributions are indispensable.

"But people's feelings can change, Mr. Bai. Don't rush things. Get to know each other better. Don't be so quick to kill someone off. Loving someone isn't about forcing a template onto them... Besides, you do have feelings for her, don't you?"

Yes, but as things stand, the two people's feelings for each other are not equal.

"Give her some time, don't rush. If you're so worried about just a kiss, I suggest you kiss me too, wash away the memory on your lips, and kiss me a few more times, both men and women. Then this won't be so serious."

"…………"

Although this old classmate has always been known for his outrageous statements, this time it was truly absurd, as he directly suggested becoming a kissing maniac.

Wu Ji smiled, then suddenly gasped in pain a second later, quickly reaching out to touch the earring in his right ear.

"……What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Wu Ji said, but there was blood on his index finger when he took it off. He wiped it off with a wet tissue without caring.

Bai Weiran found it very strange.

Normally, earrings only bleed and hurt when they are put on. Wu Ji has been wearing them for so long, why are they still bleeding?

“That’s normal, because my earring is special,” Wu Ji explained, then changed the subject with great interest.

"So, when are you going to let me meet this woman who's causing you trouble?"

"Old friend, you can't keep something like this a secret all the time, can you?"

Bai Weiran remained silent for a long time.

"...Let's wait a little longer."

The current situation with Qin Ning is unclear, so it's not a good time to act.

“Don’t talk about me, what about you?” he asked Wu Ji in return.

"Have you found someone new lately? I'm not nagging, but bro, the era of the ancient-style beauty is over. You need to wake up."

Aside from that Hanfu-clad young lady, he had never heard of Wu Ji having any close female friends.

To put it bluntly, despite his nickname "Prodigal Son," his true feelings are purer than he is.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ji replied quite frankly, "Oh, I have a boyfriend."
