Can a System Have Bad Intentions? - Chapter 132

Lu Tang glared at Xie Yu, holding back her anger multiple times, before finally turning on her heel and storming towards the door.

Bam!

She yanked the door open, and Xu Shen, who had been eavesdropping with his ear pressed against it, tumbled inside.

Lu Tang slammed the door shut and kicked Xu Shen. “Are you looking for death?”

Xu Shen quickly jumped up and dodged. “Little Tang, don’t be mad! I was just worried.”

Lu Tang glared at him.

Xu Shen, desperate, bowed his hands in a plea. “Calm down, calm down. Murderers hurt their hands when they hit people. It’s not worth it.”

Lu Tang continued to glare at him.

Xu Shen grinned apologetically. “I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t necessary. Last night, the noise from your room was too loud. I’m worried you might have been hurt by Qin Mo. You’re only fourteen, and he’s at least twenty. Little Tang!”

Lu Tang: !

This early in the morning!

What kind of nonsense is this!

Xu Shen cautiously coaxed her, “Mainly, Old Xie slept next door to you. I was worried about him and kept him company last night. The noise from your room was terrifying, and the sounds… you know, those kinds of sounds, one after another. Old Xie was so embarrassed he asked me if it was cats fighting next door. He heard it all. He’s a grown man. I couldn’t lie to him, so…”

Xu Shen glanced at the chair Lu Tang had been sitting on and noticed there was no cushion, causing his mind to stall.

“Could it be that you… you were the one on top…”

Lu Tang: !

At just fourteen, she was about to have a stroke!

With fists clenched tightly, she grabbed a nearby cup and hurled it at Xu Shen. “Idiot! Shut up and wait!”

With that, she stormed out of the room, anger fueling her steps. She walked to Qin Mo’s room and, still furious, kicked the door open.

Inside, Qin Mo was about to take a bath. His clothes were off, and he was halfway into the tub.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, startling Qin Mo. Hadn’t he locked it?

His mind hadn’t caught up yet when he saw Lu Tang storm in, face full of anger.

Qin Mo: !

Lu Tang: !

“Ah!!!!!!!!!” Lu Tang screamed, covering her face. “Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”

Qin Mo was also shocked.

Was the little fool thinking about him so soon?

They had just separated a moment ago, and she came to find him?

After a moment of shock, Qin Mo quickly grabbed his clothes to cover himself and replied matter-of-factly, “Why would I wear clothes while taking a bath?”

Through her fingers, Lu Tang saw that Qin Mo had put on his outer robe. She lowered her hands, stepped forward, and grabbed his arm. Whether it was the lingering effects of last night’s alcohol or her current rage, she forgot the respect due to this high-ranking official from the capital.

“Explain everything to me!”

Her anger had a hint of coquettishness, which she didn’t even notice.

Qin Mo didn’t know what she was up to, but seeing her in such a hurry, he didn’t ask much. He steadied himself to avoid being pulled off balance and withdrew his leg from the tub.

“Should I put on some pants?”

Lu Tang: !

I should just die.

After a cup of tea’s time, Qin Mo, having washed one leg, was fully dressed and sitting in Lu Tang’s room.

Lu Tang pounded the table, ordering Xu Shen to repeat what he had just said.

When Xu Shen finished speaking, Lu Tang glared at Qin Mo. “Tell them we’re innocent.”

Qin Mo rested his elbow on the chair’s armrest, fingers on his lips. Listening to Xu Shen’s words, a smile played in his eyes. “Yes, whatever he said.”

His voice was low and hoarse. He was genuinely tired, having not slept the previous night. Trying to stay awake, his voice carried a hint of indulgence.

That tone, paired with his expression,

Xu Shen and Xie Yu exchanged a glance.

Lu Tang: ?

Xie Yu scratched his head sheepishly. “Though I may be dumb, I’m not completely stupid.”

Xu Shen said directly, “Little Tang is only fourteen!”

He looked at Qin Mo with righteous indignation, like a family member standing up for his relative.

Lu Tang was stunned by Qin Mo’s words. If she couldn’t feel that her backside was intact, she would have misunderstood.

Glaring at Qin Mo, she said each word clearly, “You better explain yourself. Also, I, Lu Tang, am a man. I like women! Women with big breasts, slim waists, and long legs! I respect men who like men, but I don’t. My family expects me to carry on the family line.”

Qin Mo’s smile gradually froze. He looked at her for a moment, his previously indulgent and weary expression slowly turning cold.

“Last night, Lu Tang got up to drink water, fell off the bed in her drunken stupor, and hurt her leg on the edge of a chair. The sounds you heard were me applying medicine to her leg while she struggled and cried out in pain.”

He finished and pulled out a medicine bottle from his clothes, placing it on the table before getting up to leave.

As he stood, Lu Tang felt as if something inside her collapsed.

What happened?

Why did she suddenly feel a bit panicked and sad?

Didn’t she just decide to make things clear with Qin Mo?

Now was the perfect opportunity. She had said it clearly.

She…

Seeing Qin Mo open the door and leave, her heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Xu Shen.

Xu Shen was stunned for a moment.

So, the noise last night was nothing, but now the two of them were really at odds.

And it was his fault?

Little Tang claimed she liked women and had no interest in men, but now that Qin Mo had left with a cold face, her expression was as if she’d lost her father. Didn’t that say it all?

So, Little Tang was in love but didn’t realize it, and she and Qin Mo were in an ambiguous phase?

Xu Shen clicked his tongue lightly. “Little Tang…”

“Brother Tang, how’s your knee?”

Xu Shen’s low voice was drowned out by Xie Yu’s loud one.

Lu Tang felt her throat and eyes clogging up. She paused, then sat down and rolled up her pants to reveal her knee.

Sure enough, there was a large bruise, with a faint smell of ointment.

So, she had been drunk last night, and Qin Mo had taken care of her all night.

Feeling sad, Lu Tang stared at her bruised knee without saying a word.

Xu Shen opened his mouth but finally just patted her head lightly. “Little Tang, there are no absolute can-dos or cannot-dos in life. We don’t kill because it’s illegal, but other than that, follow your heart.”

Xie Yu didn’t understand what had happened, but he could tell that Brother Tang was in a bad mood.

Yesterday, he was the one needing comfort. Today, he had become a life coach. Xie Yu thought for a moment and said, “Brother Tang, I’ve figured it out. Life should be lived freely. Don’t be bound by rules, and don’t torture yourself over others’ mistakes.”

Lu Tang remained silent, still looking at her bruised knee.

She vaguely remembered a bit of last night’s events.

Qin Mo had massaged her leg, gently coaxing her, saying that if he didn’t, it would bruise badly. She had kicked him to the floor in pain.
