Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 393 A Life of Being Conquered

"You... um... do you have a problem with me?"

After hesitating for a long time, Tang Shuai finally asked the question.

Yu Liu was munching on a chicken leg when she heard this and almost choked. "Why are you asking this? Did I do something to make you think I have a problem with you?"

We're getting along the same way as before, so is there something wrong?

"no……"

Tang Shuai shook his head, completely baffled by the last bit of goodwill he had left: "I just want to know, is there anything I didn't do well enough?"

Yu Liu glanced at the table full of food, then at the spotless house, and shook her head decisively: "No, no, you did a very good job."

It's so good it's impeccable, I feel like I'm being spoiled rotten.

"But……"

Tang Shuai didn't finish his sentence. He felt he might be a bit... sentimental lately? He was constantly worrying about that little bit of goodwill, it was almost obsessive.

"But what?" Yu Liu asked vaguely, taking a bite of her chicken leg. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"……No."

Tang Shuai never lies to those close to him, and naturally he wouldn't lie. This strange pause perfectly illustrates the saying "there's no silver buried here."

Yu Liu wasn't a very curious person. Although she found it a bit strange, she could tell that Tang Shuai didn't want to say more, so she swallowed the question she was about to ask and continued eating.

Oh well, it's already like this anyway. In this world, Yu Liu will probably never be able to truly open her heart to Tang Shuai. After all, once she reveals her true thoughts, her wish will fail. She doesn't want to gamble with the lives of an entire world.

Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief at Yu Liu's carefree attitude. Seeing that she was no longer asking questions, he put the matter out of his mind.

……

"I'll be going on a business trip soon, it won't be long, just two days..."

The next day, Tang Shuai suddenly said to Yu Liu.

"Oh!" Yu Liu suddenly seemed a little listless, lowered her head, and responded slowly.

This reaction clearly demonstrates dissatisfaction with Tang Shuai's business trip.

Tang Shuai was satisfied with her reaction, but he had to leave. Otherwise, before he could gain even the last bit of goodwill, he and Yu Liu would be starving.

This time, he specifically accepted a task with an exceptionally high reward. Once completed, it would be enough to cover his and Yu Liu's expenses for a long time.

"Just two days, I'll be back soon. I've bought all the food and drinks and put them in the fridge. Don't eat snacks like you're eating main meals, and remember to order takeout when it's time. I'll be back soon."

Before leaving, Tang Shuai gave many instructions, but Yu Liu didn't listen to a word he said.

The house suddenly felt eerily quiet with the absence of someone who was always there. Yu Liu found it hard to adjust and tried to numb herself by sitting in front of the computer and drawing comics like crazy, hoping to get herself back into a working state.

Not long after she started drawing, the doorbell rang in Yu Liu's ears.

"Has someone come?" Yu Liu was a little surprised. She didn't have many friends, and apart from Tang Shuai, almost no one came to her house. Why would someone ring the doorbell at a time like this?

Could it be Commander Tang? Did he forget something and come back to get it?

Lost in thought, Yu Liu forgot to check who was outside the door before opening it.

"why you?"

Upon seeing the person outside the door, Yu Liu suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.

What are you doing here? Did you come looking for me?

Outside the door, Liu Quji, dressed in a trench coat with a cold expression, looked down at Yu Liu and nodded as if condescending to be superior.

Two small question marks appeared above Yu Liu's head. Ever since the day Tang Shuai forcibly kissed her, Liu Quji seemed to have truly disappeared; Yu Liu had never seen him again. Besides, she had no feelings for him anyway, so her impression of him gradually faded.

Half a month has passed, and the other person feels no different from a complete stranger.

"Is there...something wrong?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch. The fact that they knocked on the door more than half a month later, and when Tang Shuai wasn't there, suggests they must have some purpose.

"It really does."

Liu Quji grinned, revealing his neatly arranged teeth.

For some reason, Yu Liu shuddered.

"I'm here today to invite you to a place where it's convenient to talk."

His words left Yu Liu completely bewildered. Just as she was pondering what he meant, a pair of hands suddenly covered Yu Liu's mouth and nose.

Even though Yu Liu has now taken over the identity of the character who was originally being pursued, she is still a fairy. This method of dealing with ordinary people is useless against her. She is confident, so she does not struggle.

But why does it feel like it's getting darker and darker?

I'm so dizzy...

Liu Quji caught Yu Liu's limp body, chuckled twice, picked her up with satisfaction, and walked briskly back to the car, driving away.

The car merged into the traffic on the road and quickly disappeared from sight.

……

At Yu Liu's residence, the cell phone on the computer desk vibrated twice, and the screen lit up, showing an incoming call. The contact name was Tang Shuai.

"Beep beep beep—Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

A monotonous voice came through the receiver.

Tang Shuai frowned, a bad premonition suddenly welling up in his heart. Yu Liu was usually a homebody, rarely leaving the house unless absolutely necessary. She handled everything at home, always keeping her phone and computer on, and never turning them off. Except when she was drawing comics, she was almost always on her phone, and it was practically impossible for her not to answer calls.

He dialed the number again, but the other end kept repeating, "The number you dialed is unanswered."

"No one is answering..."

He sensed something was wrong, so he looked through his phone book and dialed a number saved as "Wang".

"I need to leave for a bit. Please send someone over to take over my work as soon as possible, that's all."

After the call connected, Tang Shuai gave his instructions without waiting for the other party to say anything, then quickly hung up and dialed another number.

"Send someone to pick me up."

After hanging up the phone, he didn't even pack his things, only taking the important items with him, and quickly left the hiding place.

In reality, the system knew, but the current development of events had exceeded the game's storyline. This event didn't even exist in the game, so it couldn't make a judgment. It simply gave a vague explanation and dared not reveal the specifics.
