You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Chapter 45 Death Escape - Reforming the Villain

They didn't dare say anything, after all, Shen Mochen had an eccentric and unpredictable personality, and no one dared to provoke him.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to lie back down when there was a knock on the door.

It was Sophia who invited her to play in the backyard.

Yu Nanqing shook her head and refused. If she didn't go, she could still find excuses to argue when Shen Mochen came back. But if she went, she would be completely unable to defend herself.

"Qingqing, are you unhappy?" Sophia pouted.

Her plan was to drag Yu Nanqing along, and if Shen Mochen investigated, she would push Yu Nanqing out to shield him.

"Qingqing, I'd like to introduce you to my friends too." She persisted, grabbing onto her skirt.

"Besides, Brother Qing is here too, so please give me some face."

"Qingqing..."

"it is good."

Upon hearing that Chen Qing was also there, Yu Nanqing rubbed his fingertips together, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

She put on the pale yellow dress that Sophie had prepared for her and followed behind Sophie into the backyard living room.

Chen Qing was very popular. As soon as Yu Nanqing entered the room, he saw him surrounded by a group of people, talking animatedly.

She sat in the backyard living room for a while, and only when Chen Qing made an excuse to go out for some fresh air did she find an opportunity to be alone with him.

The crimson cigarette butt flickered in the cold wind. Hearing footsteps, Chen Qing turned his head and looked over. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw it was her.

"Brother Qing smokes too?" Yu Nanqing stopped a short distance away from him and teased him in a low voice.

"You..." Chen Qing's brows twitched slightly, he hesitated, glanced at her thin dress, frowned slightly, stubbed out his cigarette, and turned to walk into the corridor.

She has a husband, so it would be very impolite to take off my coat and drape it over her.

She was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that her mere appearance caused his heart to flutter.

But she wouldn't give up and kept following him, calling him "brother" in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Is Brother Qing in a bad mood?" Yu Nanqing followed him, and when she saw him stop, she also stopped and kicked the white steps in front of her.

I feel annoyed, but I have no choice but to force myself to speak in a high-pitched voice to the person in front of me.

She was fine before she developed feelings for Shen Mochen, but after those feelings developed, she felt awkward.

This damn mission.

Damn time travel.

Chen Qing looked down at her and could clearly see her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and the tip of her upturned nose red from the cold. "It's cold outside, you should go inside."

"Brother Qing, aren't you going in?"

"I have some business to attend to at the company, so I might have to leave." He tugged at the corner of his shirt, the faint fragrance of the woman filling his nostrils, making his expression somewhat unnatural.

Hearing this, Yu Nanqing glanced at him, suppressing her joy. Hearing the system's urging, she had no choice but to speak up and ask him to stay, "Are you leaving just like that? Won't you stay a little longer? If Brother Qing leaves, Sister will be disappointed."

"Please tell her for me." Chen Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly as she looked at Yu Nanqing's slightly furrowed brows, her mind in turmoil and her head going blank.

The favorability rating kept rising, but stopped at just forty-nine.

Yu Nanqing let out a silent breath, and then her heart, which had been hanging in the air, gradually calmed down.

But before she could even feel relieved for two seconds, a force came from behind and shoved her directly into Chen Qing's arms.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you..."

Yu Nanqing froze, not only her expression but also her heart.

Hearing the system announce that the task was completed, she breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Chen Qing away, and turned to leave. Just as she looked up, she met the dark eyes of the man around the corner.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Her heart suddenly started racing. She swallowed hard and instinctively turned and left.

But her small, quick steps were no match for the man's strides; before she could even leave the corridor, her waist was caught in his grasp.

Yu Nanqing was so frightened that her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Shen... Shen Mochen, listen to me..."

"What are you saying? Trying to explain how you accidentally bumped into him?" Shen Mochen carried her and strode towards the main hall. His bloodshot eyes had lost all reason. He only wanted to strip her naked and exploit her, to let her know who she really belonged to!

"I..." Yu Nanqing's eyelids twitched incessantly as she desperately called out to the system while tears streamed down her face.

"boom!"

Before she even reached the main hall, she heard a loud bang, followed by bright red blood splattering onto her pale yellow skirt.

Her pupils dilated slightly, and she looked past Shen Mochen to see Chen Qing holding a chair.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over her, and she took a few deep breaths.

Crazy, just crazy.

"Shen Mochen..." In her haste, she grabbed Shen Mochen's sleeve tightly, her eyes red, not wanting him to go crazy and kill people.

"What? You want to beg me to let him go?" Shen Mochen reached up and wiped the wound on his head, smearing the blood smeared on his hand onto her body, a sickly smile in his eyes. "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed..."

He put her on the ground, tugged at her cumbersome tie, and punched Chen Qing to the ground.

[The host is ready to leave this world.]

Just as Yu Nanqing was about to get up to stop the person, she froze on the spot, listening to the countdown in her mind. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't move an inch.

In the last moment before her consciousness faded, she only saw Shen Mochen, covered in blood, walking towards her.

……

Two years later.

Back in her original world, Yu Nanqing gradually began to forget the absurd dream she had experienced some time ago, but whenever she heard people say that it was a miracle that she was able to wake up, she could feel the pain in her heart again.

She lived a completely chaotic life in this world.

The painting submitted for an international competition was stolen by her nominal younger sister.

Her fiancé tricked her into going on a trip for her sister's sake, then pushed her off a hillside, leaving her in a vegetative state.

Her parents only cared about her younger sister. When she woke up, they simply told her not to pursue the matter.

Not investigate? That's impossible.

So she sent everyone involved in the affair to the asylum, and occasionally, on a whim, she would visit the mental hospital to see their miserable state, and then go to her friend's pub to drink until she was dizzy and disoriented.

This is used to numb the dying heart.

Another night of heavy drinking, but when I woke up, it was no longer the familiar little restaurant.

A buzzing mechanical sound echoed in her mind. Yu Nanqing slowly sat up, her expression slightly startled. Suddenly realizing something, the corners of her eyes gradually reddened. She abruptly got off the bed and grabbed her phone from the table.

She...she...traveled back in time again...

That world that has Shen Mochen.

[Due to the villain's descent into darkness, the world is on the verge of collapse. Please find the villain—Shen Mochen—as soon as possible, and try to redeem him and bring him warmth.]

Yu Nanqing let out a breath, recalling the few days she lingered beside Shen Mochen after dying in this world two years ago. Her heart clenched tightly, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.

That madman actually held onto her corpse, refusing to let go even as it decomposed.

He even stabbed himself a few times, saying he would never interfere with her relationship with Chen Qing again.
