I'm in the Ark, a player.

Chapter 190, Able to Commit a Crime at Present

"Alas!!!"

Faced with Sora's powerful aura, Exusiai, startled, let out a mournful cry and instinctively shrank back.

Oh no, this is absolutely terrible!

Never before has the start been so terrible!

Exusiai knew that Sora had feelings for Qin Tianling.

Ever since Qin Tianling rescued Sora from the robbers and then made an extremely rock-and-roll appearance to help Sora's idol career, Exusiai had already realized that Sora had feelings for Qin Tianling.

Now that Kong knows that Qin Tianling and I came here to eat the couple's special set meal... doesn't she think I'm just a philanderer?

Wow, this is really bad, this misunderstanding is terrible!

Exusiai responded with a forced smile.

"Um...actually, we were just pretending to be a couple. I just wanted to eat the limited-edition dessert from this restaurant's set meal...Would you believe me if I said that...Sora?"

For some reason, Exusiai seemed a little guilty as she spoke.

"Really?"

The only response to Exusiai's words was Sora's still emotionless reply.

Damn it... Sora doesn't believe a word I'm saying!

To be honest, Exusiai is sweating quite a bit right now.

—Even Sora couldn't believe it, how could she believe it!?

Originally, she just wanted to happily participate in the program, and happily return to the Penguin Logistics dormitory after get off work, hoping to have dinner with everyone, including Qin Tianling, and relax a bit in the evening.

When I got there a little while later, I heard Croissant say that Qin Tianling and Exusiai not only spent the whole day together, but they also didn't come back for meals.

Upon further inquiry,

Croissant then said with a gossipy look:

'They were having an exciting day, their feelings were blossoming, so it's understandable they wouldn't be coming home for dinner, right?'

Upon hearing this, the sky seemed to collapse.

Heart racing, feelings deepening, the two of them... isn't this a date?!

While Exusiai was away at work, she secretly went on a date with Qin Tianling!

While I was out making money, the crystal was stolen!

And it was stolen by the least likely person!

Exusiai, you've really gone too far!

I will not tolerate any act of sneaking out!

In a fit of anger, Kong left the dormitory.

Then, she found Exusiai and Qin Tianling.

Never mind how you found it.

"Well...you see, Qin Tianling dragged me into doing this commission, so it's only natural that he'd treat me to dinner tonight...right, right!"

Exusiai has not given up on proving herself.

But her words couldn't persuade Kong at all.

"You mean, you and Qin Tianling spent the whole day together, and then you wanted him to treat you to dinner. It just so happened that it was just the two of you, and you just happened to bring Qin Tianling to this restaurant, and you just happened to accidentally order a couple's set meal?"

Kong continued to question,

If it's just the two of you, what's the difference between that and a date?

"...It sounds a bit far-fetched, but that's really how it is."

"I see..."

That was incredibly careless.

Kong nodded and responded calmly.

She was wearing a white knitted cardigan today, with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing a slender, white wrist. Her index finger tapped the table intentionally or unintentionally.

"Since it's dinner for two, it seems I've come at the wrong time."

"No, no, no, you've come at just the right time!"

"But this is for two people, isn't it?"

"Then... how about you eat mine?"

"You can leave the dessert to me later."

Exusiai was so nervous that she completely forgot she had already taken a bite of her meal.

No, rather, it's precisely because Exusiai felt caught red-handed that she panicked so much.

But no matter what, desserts are a must for Exusiai.

She came here specifically for this dessert.

No, that's not necessary.

Kong shook her head, then reached for the tablet, swiped her fingers, and soon found the limited-edition couple's set meal.

After clicking to place the order, a waiter came over shortly afterward.

"Um, guest........."

Did you just order another set meal?

Sorry, each couple can only order one set meal.

The waiter naturally remembered the table that had just placed their order.

But when did another one appear?

"Each couple can only have one serving, so the two couples can have another one, right?"

Kong pointed directly at Qin Tianling.

"He is my boyfriend, we are a couple."

"This... ah?"

The waitress, Li Boli, seemed a little confused.

What does it mean that Miss Angel's boyfriend is your partner?

And it seems that this angel lady doesn't mind at all.

No, what exactly is your relationship?!

"What's wrong? Do you need proof?"

Seeing that the waiter did not respond for a long time, Kong asked again.

The waitress, still a little confused, nodded and answered instinctively.

"Ah...yes?"

"I see."

Kong nodded after receiving the reply, stood up, and walked to Qin Tianling's side.

Since you need proof, then I'll prove it to you.

Normally, I'm considered a timid person.

But now, she must muster her courage.

—If you're not brave enough, why are you playing rock and roll!

She has two hands and one mouth.

Therefore, they are able to take action.

It's time to take action!

Express the emotions that have been building up inside!

"Qintianling".

Kong called out softly, and Qin Tianling raised his head in response.

Then Kong grabbed Qin Tianling's shoulder, pulled him towards her, and leaned down.

And so, right in front of Exusiai, he kissed her as if declaring his ownership!

Kong clumsily pried open Qin Tianling's teeth, and the scents between the two men began to mingle.

All the resentment I had just felt seemed to melt away with that movement.

I don't know how much time passed—maybe ten seconds, maybe a moment stretched out longer than it actually was—before the two separated.

Seemingly not expecting the consequences of her actions to be far more stimulating than she had anticipated, a thin blush rose to her cheeks.

Seeing the waiter's somewhat stunned expression and Exusiai's somewhat complicated expression, Sora smiled softly.

He raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his mouth with the back of his fingers.

"Don't misunderstand,"

She spoke with a slight wheezing in her voice:

"Our love is pure."

...

...........

Chapter 191, Exusiai: Crying Lucie

Pure love?

Can two people sharing the same boyfriend really be considered pure love?!

And why isn't this angel lady getting angry?

Could this be tacit approval?!

Holy crap, this is huge!?

The Liberian waitress seemed a little bewildered, but her gossipy gaze kept darting between the three of them, as if she had already imagined a threesome in her mind.

"Okay, I understand. The dishes... the dishes will be served shortly."

Once I came to my senses, the waiter left.

However, Exusiai's side did not actually tacitly approve of it.

I was stunned.

She never imagined that Kong would be so bold...

The moment she saw Sora go up to him, Exusiai felt a sudden buzzing in her brain.

Other sounds in the restaurant became distant during that time.

The soft clatter of a fork hitting a porcelain plate, the hushed conversations in the distance, the tinkling of the wind chimes being pushed open at the door—all seemed to be separated by a layer of water.

Am I dreaming again?

This was the first thought that popped into Exusiai's mind after she realized what was happening before her.

Was it a dream?

Hmm...Kong doesn't seem like the type to do something like this...

To kiss in public, right in front of you, is one thing, but...
