Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 101

Ruan Tang’s eyes lit up all at once. She sprang forward, throwing herself into Lu He’s arms.

Qi Guang and Chi Cheng froze on the spot.

Seeing her nestle against Lu He’s chest with such unreserved trust twisted something sharp and bitter inside them.

Clinging to Lu He as if he were her final lifeline, Ruan Tang’s eyes brimmed with misty tears. Her voice was urgent, trembling:

“Lu He-gege, please agree to go out with me! Hurry, there’s no time—”

The only way to escape the darkness that was Gu Ming—

Was to quickly max out Lu He’s favorability, finish the mission, and flee this world!

Lu He blinked, momentarily stunned, as though he hadn’t processed what she said.

Ruan Tang couldn’t wait another second. Rising on tiptoe, she pressed her soft lips against his, giving him a kiss—

Her first time imitating what other men had done to her, clumsy, shy, and tender.

Lu He went from shock, to elation, to a flood of uncontrollable desire.

His arm tightened possessively around her slender waist, pulling her in as he bent to return the kiss.

Qi Guang and Chi Cheng’s faces turned pitch black. They were just about to tear Lu He away when—

Bang!

A gunshot split the night.

Not far away stood a striking young man with jet-black hair and eyes, pistol raised. He fired once into the vast sky, then turned his gaze on the kissing pair.

The look in his eyes was like poisoned arrows, cold and venomous, stabbing chills down the back of Ruan Tang’s neck.

She shivered. Lu He pulled her tightly against him.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Gu Ming leveled the dark barrel at Lu He’s forehead, jealousy and rage burning in his stare.

“Let her go if you want to live.”

Ruan Tang immediately stepped in front of Lu He, her small face pale, teeth biting her reddened lip as she whispered timidly:

“You’re not allowed to kill him.”

Gu Ming’s eyes were bloodshot, on the brink of madness.

That single scene—watching the girl who had slept in his arms just last night now run so fervently into another man’s embrace, kissing him with youthful eagerness—had shattered what remained of his sanity.

He was going insane with jealousy.

Why?

Why was it Lu He?

Hadn’t she promised to be with him? Even if they broke up, it shouldn’t be after only one day—

One single day, and she was already tired of him?

In her heart, was he even beneath those two idiots, Qi Guang and Chi Cheng?

Dark, crazed thoughts flooded his mind, his temples throbbing with sharp pain.

The overwhelming agitation stirred something deep, and for a fleeting instant, memories stirred.

The world before his eyes warped and wavered. His obsidian pupils flickered strangely between shadow and light.

—The mission.

Yes, the mission.

He remembered something.

So, once again, his Tangtang was going to leave him… because of the mission?

“Gu Ming, are you insane?! Put the gun down! Do you want to hurt Ruan Tang too?!” Qi Guang barked.

Chi Cheng cursed viciously: “The hell are you shooting at, you bastard? Believe it or not, I’ll put a bullet in your skull next time!”

His family never lacked such things—he’d only forgotten to bring one in the rush tonight.

Lu He tried to shield Ruan Tang behind him, but she shook her head and refused.

“Senior, he won’t hurt me.”

She gazed at him earnestly. “But if you stand in front of me, he’ll definitely kill you.”

“Then let him kill me.”

Lu He smiled tenderly. “How could I ever let the woman I love take a bullet for me?”

He pulled Ruan Tang firmly behind him again, placing himself in front of the gun.

Facing the yawning muzzle, he was calm, unflinching.

“If you kill me, you’ll end up in prison anyway. If sacrificing myself can give Tangtang a peaceful life, then I’m willing.”

He turned his head slightly, smiling at her.

“Besides, having Tangtang’s love already makes me content. I could die without regret.”

Ruan Tang froze.

She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came.

“Heh.”

Gu Ming gave a low, broken laugh—so bitter it ached to hear.

His voice was hoarse as he asked, “Tangtang, you’ve never truly loved anyone, have you?”

She blinked in confusion, then slowly nodded.

She’d never once said the word “love” to anyone.

So surely they would understand, wouldn’t they?

But then—why did they all look so heartbroken when she admitted it?

The sky darkened. A few drops of rain began to fall.

Lowering his gun, Gu Ming gazed into her clear, innocent eyes.

They were too pure. Pure to the point that not a single shadow of another person could linger within.

“Why?” someone rasped, voice unrecognizable from grief.

Gu Ming answered for her.

“Because of the mission.”

Rain streaked down his handsome face, making it seem like tears.

“She came to this world for the mission. She will never stay for anyone.”

Qi Guang’s eyes reddened. He clutched Ruan Tang’s hand desperately.

“Tangtang, you must have felt something for me, right? You kissed me… you smiled at me… you—”

But his voice broke.

Because the look in her eyes held concern, held guilt—yet not even a glimmer of love.

It felt like a fist had seized his heart, squeezing until he could barely breathe.

Chi Cheng seized her shoulders, forcing her to face him.

The arrogant, unruly youth now looked utterly lost, like a lone wild goose in stormy skies.

“I don’t believe that bastard Gu Ming! Ruan Tang, tell me—you never liked me? Not even a little?”

His grip hurt her. Her delicate brows knit in helpless pain.

Her voice trembled. “I… I don’t know…”

She really didn’t. She never understood what liking someone meant. Why did they all care so much about it?

She’d never fallen for anyone, and yet she was perfectly happy.

It was only after they fell that they seemed so tortured.

So perhaps it was better not to like anyone at all.

She didn’t want to hurt like that.

Lu He pulled the despairing Chi Cheng aside, draped his coat gently over her small frame, and said softly:

“It’s alright, Tangtang. Even if you don’t like me, even if it’s only for the mission, it doesn’t matter.”

His gaze was tender, his voice achingly kind.

“As long as I can see you happy, that’s enough.”

The refined, elegant man ruffled her long hair and smiled.

“Tangtang, I’ll go out with you.”

Her peach blossom eyes widened in shock.

“Lu He-senior…”

At that moment, the system’s voice rang crisply in her mind.
