Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 79

Ruan Tang could smell the clean, grassy freshness on Qi Guang. Held tightly against his strong arms, her little face grew hot.

It wasn’t yet dormitory curfew, so there were still students passing by.

The girls who caught sight of the tall, handsome Qi Guang couldn’t help turning to look again and again.

“Oh my god, isn’t that Qi Guang, the god of the sports institute?!”

“Didn’t they say he was totally clueless about romance? Last year the belle of the econ department tried flirting with him several times, and he completely missed it. He thought she just wanted to learn basketball and even introduced her to his coach—”

“That kind of big dumb jock is so cute though! Wait—he actually has a girlfriend now? My youth is over, I can’t handle this!” (t/n: “爷青结” is internet slang meaning “my youth has ended,” expressing heartbreak over an idol or celebrity being taken.)

“Wait, isn’t that Ruan Tang from the Chinese department? The girl whose first-day photos went viral on the school forum?!”

“Holy crap—it really is her! The iron-headed muscle man actually managed to win over the campus flower?! My whole family is shocked!”

“A loyal dog-type boyfriend with a soft, delicate beauty—plus the cutest height difference. I’m shipping it, I’m shipping it!”

The whispers grew louder, some even sneaking photos.

Ruan Tang blushed furiously. She gripped Qi Guang’s shirtfront and whispered a reminder:

“Qi Guang-ge, let go of me first… so many people are watching…”

Qi Guang jolted back to awareness.

Ruan Tang really was like a piece of soft, sweet candy—perfect in his arms. He’d been so lost in the feeling he had forgotten to release her.

“S-sorry!”

He quickly let go, lowering his head in embarrassment, face flushed red as he looked at her.

“Th-then I’ll head back first!”

Ruan Tang nodded gently.

“Goodbye, Qi Guang-ge.”

Qi Guang reluctantly turned to leave, but after only two steps, he couldn’t resist glancing back.

The girl was still standing in place, as if to see him off.

The lamplight painted her pale skin like snow, her black skirt melting into the night. But her slender legs stood out clearly, delicate and striking.

Qi Guang’s gaze dropped to her ankle—where she still wore that red cord tied with a little bell. His lips pressed tightly together as some thought flashed through him.

Then, without warning, he sprinted back, ducked his head, and pressed a swift kiss to the corner of her sweet, full lips.

His handsome face flushed scarlet instantly. Still, he forced a show of fierceness, growling low by her ear:

“Gu Ming-senior is really popular. Wife, you absolutely can’t let him steal you away!”

The words were supposed to sound threatening, but coming from him, they had zero intimidation—just like a big silly puppy baring its teeth.

Ruan Tang couldn’t help laughing.

Her lashes trembled lightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she rose on tiptoe, grabbed the front of his shirt, and brushed a feather-light kiss against his chin.

Qi Guang was too tall, and in the suddenness of the moment he forgot to bend down for her.

So despite Ruan Tang’s effort, standing on tiptoe only brought her lips to his jawline.

Face blazing red, she let go of his shirt in embarrassment.

“I-I’m going back now! Goodnight!”

With that, she bolted like a rabbit, fleeing into the dorms.

It was her first time doing something like this.

After traveling through three worlds, she had slowly come to understand—this was an expression of intimacy.

Qi Guang was her current target, so showing intimacy was only natural.

But still—so embarrassing!!

She ran off, leaving Qi Guang frozen where he stood.

He touched his chin, where her soft warmth still lingered, and stared blankly as if his soul had drifted away.

Wife… kissed him first? He wasn’t dreaming, right?

Qi Guang stayed dazed for a long while. Then suddenly, he broke into laughter, spinning in place with giddy excitement.

If he had a tail, it would’ve been wagging to the sky.

He hopped around happily for a while, then clenched his fists tight, eyes shining with burning light.

“I, Qi Guang, could die without regrets now!!!”

…

Onlookers: Pfft.

Where did this silly dog come from?

【Tang Tang! Perfect!! Qi Guang’s affection just skyrocketed to 80! That chin-kiss alone added ten points!】

The system was beside itself with excitement. Clearly, this mission had been the right call.

Its host was a born万人迷 (wanrenmi)—the adored center of attention. No so-called “high mountain flower,” no aloof prince could resist her charms.

Ruan Tang was thrilled too: 【That means the mission will be completed soon!】

【Exactly! We’re finally going to earn points—hahaha!】

That night, a short video went viral on a popular video platform.

The caption read: Another day crying over someone else’s beautiful love story.

The clip, filmed secretly on a phone, captured the moment Ruan Tang—face bright red, clinging to Qi Guang’s shirt—rose on tiptoe to kiss his chin.

The uploader had even added special effects and paired it with a catchy tune.

Every viewer was struck by the purity of the moment.

【So sweet and innocent, I’m losing my mind!!!】
【The girl’s profile is stunning—she could debut as a star!】
【The guy’s so handsome too. If they got married, their kids would be heartbreakingly beautiful!】

Meanwhile, at the bar.

Chi Cheng slumped against the counter, surrounded by empty bottles.

Chi Sheng shook his head and sighed.

What had hit his little brother so hard? It was the first time he’d ever seen him this desolate.

But Chi Cheng was too stubborn to listen to anyone, so Chi Sheng couldn’t persuade him.

He leaned on the bar, scrolling through his phone, and happened to click on the trending video.

He whistled in admiration.

“Ah, young love really is something. Hey, little brother, maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend too?”

He turned the screen toward Chi Cheng casually.

But his wrist was suddenly gripped in a crushing hold.

The strength was so fierce, Chi Sheng thought the bones of his arm might snap.

“Damn it—let go, that hurts!!”

Chi Cheng didn’t seem to hear.

His handsome, unruly face was cloaked in darkness, his whole aura like a wild beast—desperate, furious, untouchable.

His scarlet eyes were locked on the video, replaying it over and over like some form of self-inflicted torture.

So that’s what she looks like when she likes someone else?

So adorable. Who wouldn’t fall for her?

But why… why wasn’t it me?

At the library.

“Excuse me, we’re closing now.”

The librarian spoke carefully.

At the desk sat a boy with fine, delicate features and a tall, lean frame. His light brown hair made his pale skin seem almost luminous—like a handsome prince stepped out of a manga.

But the eyes that should’ve shone with warmth now stared coldly at the phone in his hand.

His lips were pressed tight, as if holding back something darker.

“Student…?”

Lu He finally stirred, gripping the phone so hard veins stood out on the back of his hand.

He curved his lips into a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. It was a smile sharp with shadow.

“Alright. I’ll leave now.”

His voice was low and chilling, enough to make the blood run cold.
