Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 127

Ji Jing remembered it all too clearly.

That night, when Ruan Tang hadn’t returned home, he had called her phone—only for a man to pick up.

“We’re having too much fun. She’s not coming back tonight.”

Later, Ruan Tang had explained that it was He Yan’s friend.

But when Ji Jing pressed He Yan afterward, he was told that no such “friend” even existed.

“So it was you?”

Behind the golden-rimmed glasses, Ji Jing’s narrow eyes glinted with cold murderous intent.

His gaze locked on Ao Wang, already planning how to end him.

Ao Wang only smirked arrogantly.

“Damn right it was me! I own up to what I do. Unlike you cowards—useless, all of you.”

His smile dropped, his tone sinking into something darker.

“If I’d been at Tangtang’s side five years ago, how could I not have noticed she was in so much pain she’d rather throw her life away?”

The words landed like a blade, stabbing directly into the rawest part of their hearts.

The three men fell silent.

Each drowned in their own self-recrimination.

“Huff… huff… that was close, I almost got caught…”

Ruan Tang braced against her trembling legs, panting hard.

The system shook its head.

【Silly Tangtang, you’re here to do a mission. They’re the mission targets! Why are you hiding from them?】

Ruan Tang blinked, eyes misty and pitiful.

【But… their eyes are so scary… like they’re about to eat me alive…】

The system: …well, that’s not wrong.

After all, they’d been starving for five years. Seeing her again, of course they’d pounce.

【Anyway, the mission has already started! You’ve only got a one-month time limit, so hurry up!】

Ruan Tang pouted pitifully.

【Do I really have to do that stupid mission…】

She bit her lip, face heating at the thought.

This time, the mission came with a “favorability value” system—measured by physical intimacy with the male leads.

For example:

• • A hug = +5 points.

• • A kiss = +10 points.

• • And… some other strange acts she didn’t quite understand, worth even more.

Her task: within just one month, she had to max out all four male leads’ favorability values.

And the worst part? The difference between their scores couldn’t exceed 10 points.

If the gap lasted more than 48 hours, the mission would fail.

In short—she had to play the perfect sea king (t/n: slang for someone who spreads affection to many instead of choosing one), giving out affection evenly, never favoring just one man.

【This is impossible…】

Ruan Tang wanted to cry.

Still, she decided to face it head-on.

After much hesitation, she chose to approach Ao Wang first.

After all, she had the least contact with him—maybe he’d already forgotten her.

Because of the mission’s difficulty, the system granted her some assistance.

The first step: teleporting her directly into Ao Wang’s room.

Ever since spotting her at T University, Ao Wang had rented a nearby hotel and stayed there.

He had been scouring the area for days.

Three days straight, but it was as if Ruan Tang had vanished from the world.

More than once he suspected the other three bastards had gotten to her first and hidden her away.

Dragging his exhausted body, Ao Wang finally pushed open his hotel room door—

Only to hear the sound of a TV playing inside.

Some cartoon was on, little animals chattering in innocent voices.

He froze.

Stepping forward, he saw her.

That soft, delicate figure curled on the sofa.

Ruan Tang was lying sideways, wearing a chiffon dress. Her smooth legs peeked out, a red thread anklet tied with tiny silver bells jingling lightly against pale skin. (t/n: it’s a traditional charm in Chinese culture, often symbolizing protection and connection of fate)

She turned at the sound of his steps.

Her peach blossom eyes curved as she gave him a sweet, obedient smile.

“Hi… long time no—”

Before she could finish, her lips were crushed.

He had pounced, pressing her into the sofa, kissing her with wild, desperate force.

Her slender neck arched helplessly beneath his weight, her lips shimmering with a sheen of stolen breath.

“Mm…”

Her mind reeled as the system’s prompt chimed in her head.

【Ding! Ao Wang’s favorability +10 points!】

His wide palm clamped tight around her fragile waist, holding her like he might snap her in half.

【Ding! Ao Wang’s favorability +5 points!】

Ruan Tang’s peach blossom eyes flew wide.

Fifteen points already?!

No, no—she had to spread it evenly!

She needed to go increase the others’ values immediately!

Her little hands pushed against his rock-hard chest as she whimpered like a kitten.

“Ao Wang-gege, let go… of me…”

He pulled back slightly, scarlet eyes locked on her tear-bright gaze.

“No.”

His voice trembled, thick with relief and joy.

“Never again.”

Ruan Tang hadn’t expected her very first target to go completely off the rails.

By the time Ao Wang was done with her—pressing her into the sofa, then carrying her to the bed—her favorability score had skyrocketed by 30 points.

Her calves cramped, her legs shook as she tried to stand.

Her wet eyes shimmered, lips red and swollen—looking utterly bullied.

Still, the fragile girl wobbled to her feet, mind on only one thing:

She had to get to the other men quickly, or the balance would be ruined.

But before she could, a strong pair of arms wrapped tight around her from behind.

“Where are you going?”

Ao Wang’s voice was hoarse, his grip iron. He held her like he’d developed separation anxiety.

He was the picture of a rebellious, tattooed bad boy—rings, lip piercing, ear studs, all there.

Yet now, as he looked at her trying to leave, his eyes turned red, expression pained—like a puppy about to be abandoned.

“You don’t want me anymore?”

He pressed trembling kisses to the back of her neck, already flushed pink from earlier.

“Where were you these five years? Did you ever think of me? Look at me now—I’ve gotten stronger, haven’t I? I wrote so many songs for you—did you ever listen to them?”

She tried to pull away, then flinched when something hot landed on her skin.

A tear.

“You never thought of me, did you? Five years ago you just left—without a word! Do you know how badly I missed you? If you hadn’t come back, I really would’ve gone into the sea to follow you…”

His kisses turned fierce, his words laced with a choked sob.

“I’m warning you! Don’t you dare leave me again! Do you hear me?!”

Ruan Tang froze, guilt flickering in her chest.

Lowering her eyes, she whispered softly:

“I’m sorry, Ao Wang-gege.”

He turned his head away quickly, wiping his tears in a rush.

“Don’t apologize. I just want to hear one thing—tell me you won’t abandon me again.”

She bit her lip, hesitated, then lied.

“Mm. I won’t.”

Relief washed over his face.

He tugged her firmly back onto the bed, arms locked around her, his chin buried in her hair.

“Good girl. Let me hold you while I sleep.”
