After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 75

Unfortunately, Yun Dan didn’t understand the meaning behind Yan Ke’s words.

She just teased, “That’s quite right. You’re so good-looking—if you used a mask to cover your face, that would be such a waste.”

Although Yan Ke had been intentionally protecting Yun Dan along the way.

Due to the sheer number of people, Yun Dan was still being jostled back and forth, nearly falling several times.

Yan Ke thought that walking on the ground probably wouldn’t work, so he came up with the idea of traveling above.

He looked up at the buildings on either side, then placed his hand on Yun Dan’s waist.

Yun Dan didn’t know what he was planning to do and was startled by his action, instinctively trying to dodge.

However, the pedestrians around them wouldn’t give Yun Dan a chance to escape.

Someone bumped into Yun Dan, causing her to unconsciously fall into Yan Ke’s arms.

Now it was Yun Dan’s turn to feel embarrassed.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like she was throwing herself at him.

“There are too many people here. Let me take you up above.”

“Above?”

The next second, Yun Dan felt herself flying up.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her unconsciously wrap her arms around Yan Ke’s neck.

“You… why didn’t you warn me? You scared me to death! I’m a bit afraid of heights.”

Yan Ke chuckled softly and teased, “With your fear of heights, you still want to learn martial arts? There were too many people below, so I thought I’d take you from above. See, there’s no one here now, right?”

After they stabilized, Yun Dan finally looked down.

“Now that I think about it, this is actually quite interesting—so many people down below while we walk above. These people will never bump into us now. Let me tell you, earlier so many women kept bumping into you on purpose. Were you really wanting to lose your temper?”

She hadn’t missed how terrible Yan Ke’s expression had been earlier.

It would have been better not to mention it.

As soon as she brought it up, Yan Ke’s expression instantly changed.

What he hated most was a bunch of women bumping into him, but with Yun Dan beside him, he had no way to dodge.

Because if he wasn’t careful, he’d easily cause Yun Dan to fall.

Seeing him with a stiff face, looking deeply troubled, Yun Dan couldn’t help but laugh secretly.

She reached out a finger and lightly poked Yan Ke’s cheek, teasing, “Alright, alright, stop frowning like that. It doesn’t look good. I’ve heard that if you keep frowning, you’ll get wrinkles easily. You’re so good-looking—if you got wrinkles, that wouldn’t look good at all.”

After they finished strolling through the streets, it was already midnight.

Yun Dan yawned several times in a row, almost falling asleep while standing.

Seeing how tired she was, Yan Ke held her and used his qinggong to rush back to Mingyue Manor.

After sending Yun Dan to her room, she unexpectedly clung to him like an octopus and wouldn’t let go.

Yan Ke tried for a long time to pull Yun Dan’s hands away but couldn’t, so he finally gave up and let her hold him like that.

Looking at Yun Dan’s sleeping face, Yan Ke couldn’t help but mutter softly, “You’re the first person to get this close to me. You know, even though I fed you poison, you’re still so affectionate toward me without any sense of caution. I’m a bit worried—what will you do if you meet a scammer in the future?”

But thinking it over, this was actually good.

At least when he was with Yun Dan, he didn’t need to be constantly on guard against her.

“Cough, cough... If only I’d met you earlier. Maybe I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Little girl, if you’d appeared ten years earlier…”

“Forget it. If you’d appeared ten years earlier, you would have only been eight years old. I couldn’t have taken care of a child—you definitely would have driven me to death. Appearing now is pretty good too. Whether or not I can survive, whether or not I can save myself, knowing you isn’t something I regret.”

“Yun Dan, perhaps you won’t believe this. After that incident ten years ago, these past ten years, besides Yue Po, you’re the only person I can let my guard down around, and the only woman who can be this close to me in this lifetime.”

“I don’t know what feelings are supposed to be, and I’ve never considered them, because that’s not something I can hope for. I’m a bad person, and those poisons erode my body every day. The divine physician diagnosed me as unable to live past twenty-five. That I’ve lived to twenty-eight—I think that’s already a miracle.”

“But I think meeting you is really wonderful. However, I don’t know how to interact with women, so I can only think of ways to tease you and frighten you. Every time I say I’ll turn you into fertilizer, it’s actually just so I can get closer to you. This feeling is very strange, but I don’t reject it.”

The world envied his immunity to all poisons.

They envied his superior martial arts skills.

But who would know that the divine physician said he couldn’t live past twenty-five?

He didn’t know what kind of conviction kept him alive.

Perhaps it was unwillingness.

Or perhaps… it was because there was still someone he hadn’t met yet.

Possessed by some unknown impulse, Yan Ke slightly turned his head and kissed Yun Dan’s forehead.

“Although you might not believe it, I really enjoy being with you. Seeing you every day makes me feel that living is quite interesting, and I don’t need to think about all those conflicts. It lets me temporarily forget that I’m someone who’s about to die. Tell me, if one day I really do die, will you cry for me even once?”

But thinking it over, Yan Ke felt it was impossible.

He was always frightening her.

Always saying he’d turn her into fertilizer.

She wasn’t a fool—how could she shed tears for a villain like him?

She’d surely clap and cheer that the world had one less menace.

However, Yun Dan once again missed the mechanical notification sound.

[Ding—Target character Xiao Yueqing’s affection increased by 10%. Current affection is 30%.]

If Yun Dan could have heard it, she probably would have been overjoyed.

However, after Yun Dan woke up, she spent the entire day thinking, wondering if it was really just her imagination.

But in that instant, it really did feel a bit like Xiao Yueqing.

“Hiss, could these two people actually be the same person?”

“No, no, if these two were the same person, that would be too absurd. Their personalities are completely different, and they even smell different. Yan Ke always has a faint scent of plum blossoms, while Xiao Yueqing has a sandalwood scent.”

Yun Dan felt that the probability of this shouldn’t be very high.

How amazing would someone’s acting skills have to be to disguise themselves as a completely different person?

However, to dispel her doubts, Yun Dan decided to test Yan Ke.

Xiao Yueqing was averse to women. She still remembered when she accidentally touched his arm at Tianqing Manor.

That look in his eyes—it was as if he wanted to immediately chop off his own arm right then and there.

Although Yan Ke had some physical contact with her, it couldn’t completely prove that he wasn’t averse to women.

How about finding an opportunity to test him?
