Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 153

So Nie Qingyun stiffly took off his shoes again, sat back down on the opposite side of the coffee table with a slightly uneasy expression, and replaced his originally cold expression with a fawning smile.

"Hmph!" Cheng Yuqiu immediately looked away, deliberately avoiding looking at Nie Qingyun.

Although seeing how much the other person cared about her eased the sour feeling in her heart, she had no intention of letting this philandering bastard off so easily.

Nie Qingyun stole a glance at the young lady, whose eyes were still glistening with tears. He hesitated for a long time, finding it difficult to speak, before finally managing a bitter smile:

"My relationship with Rinne... was an accident..."

"You're calling her by her first name right away, you must know her really well!" Cheng Yuqiu turned around aggressively, slamming her hand on the table as she interrupted.

"There are always unexpected things like this?"

"Could it be that she's like her senior?"

"If I don't suck your... I'll become unable to move?"

“Indeed…it’s different,” Nie Qingyun said, carefully choosing her words.

"But it really was an accident. Your Highness should at least give us a chance to explain, shouldn't you?"

Seeing that the young lady's chest had swelled even more, Nie Qingyun quickly offered an explanation before she could even speak.

From being used as a "tool" by Yuwen Chaolu and others after waking up from a coma, to accidentally breaking Bai Ye Lin Yin's hymen later...

She also clearly explained the process of detoxification for digitalis poisoning caused by Rinne Shiraya's bradycardia when she escaped from Wenzheng Street, without any alteration or omission.

Upon hearing the final words, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes widened in shock.

Especially when she heard the part about Bai Yelin's heartbeat stopping and Nie Qingyun using a transformer to perform cardiac defibrillation, the girl's breathing became rapid without her realizing it.

It wasn't until Nie Qingyun finished speaking that she suddenly realized what was happening, and said angrily:

"Shameless!"

"What girl would willingly do that kind of thing!"

Even if it's to save lives... it's still not allowed!

"That despicable vixen!"

Cheng Yuqiu still appeared angry, but her heart had softened.

And they found reasons to convince themselves.

After all, Nie Qingyun didn't really intend to have anything happen with those girls; it was all an accident.

Besides, he was the only man on the rooftop; they couldn't just stand by and watch him die...

Women... they're always like that.

If you like someone enough, you'll lie to yourself without them having to lie to you.

But the next second, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly remembered something, her eyes reddened again, and she questioned him:

Stop lying!

"What's with the writing on Shiroya Rinne's butt?!"

"Does saving someone really need to be marked 'For Brother Qingyun's Use Only'?"

Finish!

Nie Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't breathe.

So even the young lady knows about this...?

How do you explain this?!

Chapter 199: The Big One is Coming! (2.7k)

The atmosphere in the small lounge was extremely tense. Faced with the young lady's aggressive gaze, Nie Qingyun found it difficult to speak.

However, to some extent, Nie Qingyun had a way to deal with this situation.

In fact, he didn't need to explain in such a humble manner at all. If he had just shown a slightly firmer attitude, this young lady who had been following him all this way would have given in.

Alternatively, one could be like those battle-hardened couples, treating their relationship as a battlefield and pulling it to the limit.

By deliberately saying things that seem like a strategic retreat, shifting the problem to the other person, and even pretending to feel guilty and suggesting a breakup when you know they are very dependent on you, you can immediately regain control of the situation as soon as they waver.

Perhaps that's how relationships are; like two people holding a rubber band, the one who's always the one who's hurting the most and doesn't want to let go is always the one who's hurting the most.

But Nie Qingyun didn't want to do that, because he knew that once he did, his feelings for the young lady would no longer be pure.

Perhaps even he himself did not realize that he had a rather strong possessive desire when facing Cheng Yuqiu.

It was precisely because of this possessiveness that he had been trying his best to restrain himself.

A moment later, Nie Qingyun braced his hands on the table, quickly lowered his head, and said sincerely:

"It was my fault."

"It was my fault for not resisting the temptation..."

"At that moment, I had the opportunity to refuse decisively..."

"Now that things have come to this, I can't just leave Rinne behind."

Seeing that Nie Qingyun hadn't raised his head yet, Cheng Yuqiu unconsciously clenched his fists.

She had thought that Nie Qingyun would come up with a more tactful excuse so that she could save face.

In this way, she can naturally convince herself to bury her grievances and pretend that she is no longer sad.

But now, Nie Qingyun has openly admitted it, blocking all avenues of retreat.

At this moment, Cheng Yuqiu couldn't even find an excuse to deceive herself.

A mixture of bitterness and resentment lingered in my heart, causing a dull ache.

Should I forgive the other person?

What am I hesitating about...?

Isn't this something that should be taken for granted?

There are quite a few boys in this building who have ambiguous relationships with several girls.

And those girls who gave up on moving forward and only thought about surviving wouldn't care how many people they had relationships with.

Only I, despite being in such favorable conditions, always make all sorts of excessive demands.

Under the current circumstances, others wouldn't be as humble as Nie Qingyun, apologizing to girls for such things.

What more could I possibly want?

but……

I don't know why, but I'm just so sad...

Cheng Yuqiu's nose tingled, and tears immediately began to roll down her cheeks.

"You damn philandering bodyguard..."

"Don't you think saying these things... is really too cunning...?"

What do you want me to do?

"Pretend nothing happened?"

"Or, like other girls, will she forgive you without a second thought?"

"No! No! No! No!"

"I'm not!"

"You bastard, womanizing scoundrel!"

"If you go and flirt with girls without my noticing, I will never forgive you!"

"Blame it on you for spoiling me. Now I can't even pretend I don't care!"

The girl poured out all her unhappiness in one breath, her chest heaving with tears streaming down her face.

Nie Qingyun paused, but still didn't raise his head. His hand, which was gripping the table, unconsciously clenched into a fist.

"I know……"

"I know it sounds cunning to say that..."

"But even so, I still don't intend to leave..."

"No matter what you say, I will stay by your side."

Even if it cannot be forgiven...

"This idea will not change in any way."

"You!" The words she wanted to ask were stuck in her throat, and Cheng Yuqiu's heart started racing again.

Because she wanted to hear those words.

She wanted to hear sweet words from him.

She wanted to throw a tantrum and then be pampered.

It seems that only in this way can those feelings called jealousy be alleviated.

Nie Qingyun remained considerate in this regard and never deliberately argued with him.

Cheng Yuqiu could not resist this silent tenderness.

She quickly gave in, completely forgetting her dignity as a young lady, and began to speak loudly and without restraint.

"In that case, take a closer look at me!"

"I've been trying so hard to keep up with you..."

"Regardless of the timing of meeting or getting together..."

"I did it all first!"

"You'd rather go find other girls than even look at me..."

"Don't I have any charm as a girl?!"

"That's not how it is!" Nie Qingyun raised his head, looked at the tearful girl, and said without hesitation:

"I've always admired Her Highness the Princess..."

"So, how much longer are you going to sit there so solemnly!" Cheng Yuqiu forcefully wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes glistening as she looked ahead, and said with all her might:

"Do I have to give the order before you'll hug me?!"

"In that case, never come to my room again!"

"Did you hear me?!"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she was embraced.

Her body was very light, and she was easily lifted up and then embraced by Nie Qingyun from behind.

When Cheng Yuqiu came to her senses, she was already curled up in the other person's warm embrace.

The argument in the lounge ended there.

The air was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The young lady's body is quite soft, and it's very comfortable to just hold her.

Nie Qingyun subconsciously wanted to tighten her arms, but was afraid of hurting the other person, so she could only relieve her urge by tensing her body.

A faint fragrance lingers in the air, making it the best remedy for calming the nerves.

Unbeknownst to him, Nie Qingyun had already rested his chin on the girl's shoulder, closed his eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, whispered:

"I'm sorry... Your Highness."

"It was my fault for messing everything up..."

Seemingly exhausted from crying, Cheng Yuqiu leaned against the other person's chest and squinted her eyes.

"Don't get me wrong... I have no intention of forgiving you."

Even as he said this, his tone had completely softened.

But Nie Qingyun shook his head and continued:
