Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 218

“Take off your jacket and put it on Tangtang. Can’t you see she’s cold?”

“Cold?! It’s like fifteen degrees out here! How could she be cold?!”

Even though he thought it was ridiculous, when Chi Yang saw Ruan Tang curled up in Chi Han’s arms, trembling like a frightened kitten, he still clenched his teeth, tore off his jacket, and irritably draped it over her.

“There, not cold anymore, right? Now you can come out of this bastard’s arms?”

Who knew—

Chi Han simply used his rival’s jacket to wrap Ruan Tang up even tighter, then lifted her into his arms in a bridal carry.

With a straight face, he declared, “She caught a chill. I’m taking her back to the dorm.”

Chi Yang’s expression slowly turned into a giant question mark: ???

“That’s my dorm!!! If she’s going back, I’ll be the one to take her! Until tomorrow, it’s still her and me in a double dorm room!”

“A-Yang…”

From beneath the jacket, Ruan Tang peeked out with wet peach blossom eyes, her lashes trembling, the corners of her eyes still tinged with that alluring red glow.

“Please… let Chi Han take me back, okay?”

Being looked at with that kind of gaze, hearing that soft, pleading tone—who could possibly withstand it?!

Chi Yang hadn’t even processed what was happening when he realized he’d already blurted out: “…Okay.”

Watching Chi Han carry Ruan Tang away just like that, Chi Yang’s face darkened instantly, black as the bottom of a pot.

At this moment, Lin Yao caught up as well.

“Where’s Tangtang?”

Chi Yang’s tone was sour.

“Chi Han took her. What the hell makes that pervert better than me?! Why would she choose him and not me?!”

Lin Yao immediately caught something in those words, his brows knitting tightly.

—So Chi Han knew as well?

How did he find out?

Lin Yao’s own discovery of Ruan Tang’s true gender had been ambiguous enough… and when he’d just asked Xia Lan, her discovery had been even more—

His chest tightened uneasily.

How on earth did Chi Han find out?

Afraid that Chi Yang might chase after them, Chi Han carried Ruan Tang straight back to his own dorm.

When he kicked the door open, his roommate was gaming, fingers pounding the keyboard in a rapid-fire rhythm.

Startled by the crash, he almost flung the keyboard out of his hands.

“Chi Han, what the hell are you kicking the door for?! You break it, you pay for it—”

All his irritation cut off mid-sentence the moment he saw Chi Han carrying a delicate beauty into the room.

The roommate’s face went red, then black.

“What the hell, Chi Han?! You can’t bring girls into the dorm—”

“He’s a guy.” Chi Han lied through his teeth without blinking.

He set Ruan Tang down carefully on his bed, then turned back to glare coldly at his roommate.

“Keep staring, and I’ll dig your eyes out.”

The roommate shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

“…You’re insane.”

Usually, Chi Han barely stayed in the dorm. Even when he did, he sat silently by himself, lost in thought, hardly speaking.

With his bangs covering most of his face, he hardly had any presence at all.

So his roommate had never really taken him seriously.

But that afternoon, when Chi Han had come back to change clothes and casually brushed his hair back, his roommate had gotten the shock of his life.

Turned out Chi Han was ridiculously handsome!

Handsome enough to make people lose their minds—so why did he hide his face every day?

If he had that kind of face, he’d be strutting around twenty-four seven.

But it wasn’t just his looks that flipped expectations upside down—his personality, too, was nothing like the quiet, easy-to-push-around impression.

Instead of a doormat, he was a wild dog through and through.

And yet, this wild dog… now faced with the fragile beauty on his bed, had reined in every ounce of madness, obedient as a housebroken puppy.

Chi Han gently stroked Ruan Tang’s hair, as if she were a porcelain doll that might shatter at the slightest touch.

His voice softened to something that could drip water.

“Don’t be afraid, Tangtang. I’ll throw him out right away.”

The moment he turned to his roommate, though, his expression shifted instantly, his tone dropping to an icy threat.

“You’ve got twenty seconds. Get out.”

The roommate flinched at that chilling look, but pride wouldn’t let him back down. He forced himself to argue.

“Ha?! I’m not done with my game! Who the hell are you to—”

He didn’t finish. Chi Han snatched up a fruit knife from his bedside table and, without even glancing, flung it past him.

The sharp blade skimmed right by his cheek, slicing off a strand of hair.

His roommate froze for two whole seconds—then screamed like a slaughtered pig and bolted out of the room.

Calmly, Chi Han closed the door, locked it, then returned to the bed with a smile so harmless it looked almost sweet.

“It’s fine now, Tangtang. No one else is here.”

Ruan Tang: …

There is something wrong! At least for your poor roommate, there’s something very wrong!

But since he’d done it for her sake, she couldn’t bring herself to say much. Her face flushed, she whispered softly.

“Thank you, Chi Han.”

“Call me A-Han.”

Chi Han lowered his lashes pitifully. “You just called Chi Yang that. I’m jealous.”

Ruan Tang couldn’t help laughing at his sulky look.

“Alright, A-Han. Now… could you step out for a bit? I need to rewrap my bandages.”

Obediently, Chi Han got up and headed for the bathroom. But just before stepping inside, he turned, hopeful.

“Need any help? I’m amazing at wrapping bandages!”

Ruan Tang, sitting up with her clothes half loose, hadn’t yet managed to grab the jacket to shield her chest. She glared at him in embarrassment and anger.

“Absolutely not!!!”

Chi Han swallowed, disappointed.

“…Fine.”

Still—just the glimpse from earlier was enough to last him a long, long time.

Her own shirt ruined, Ruan Tang had no choice but to borrow one of Chi Han’s oversized T-shirts.

Too embarrassed to let him escort her, she returned to her dorm alone.

The whole way back, her phone kept buzzing nonstop.

Xia Lan, somehow having gotten her number, was sending message after message of apologies:

【I’m sorry. Today was my fault. Please give me a chance to apologize in person? Also, I added your WeChat—can you approve me?】

Her tone was cautious, almost groveling—nothing at all like the arrogant, domineering young lady she had first seemed.

Lin Yao was also bombarding her with messages:

【Did Xia Lan find out your secret today? Do you need help? That guy who carried you off—was it Chi Han? What’s your relationship with him? Did he hurt you?】

Chi Yang’s messages were harsher, but the worry beneath was obvious:

【That perverted creep dragged you off! Where the hell are you?! Get back here now!!!】

Even Chi Han had sent her a message, though his words left her baffled:

【Tangtang, do you still need your shirt? If not, can I keep it? I’ll definitely make good use of it!】

…What possible use could anyone have for an old, torn shirt? It wasn’t even a brand-name.

Before she could reply, another notification popped up—Yan Qing had reached out as well:

【I heard you fainted in the library? What happened? I’m at your dorm door right now, but Chi Yang locked it and won’t let me in. Can you reply or call me back? I’m worried about you.】

Ruan Tang stared at the flood of missed calls and unread messages, her head throbbing.

Wasn’t she supposed to be nothing but a background character this time…?

So why had she ended up the center of everyone’s obsession again?

Ugh. Maybe she and this mission were doomed to be incompatible from the start.
