"I'm Dai Mubai too..."
"On what grounds?"
"Why can he do it, but I can't?"
He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, trying to find some comfort from his fiancée.
But.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't even glance at him.
Those cold, clear eyes were fixed intently on the sky.
His eyes held an unprecedented complexity.
There was hope, longing, and a deep sense of regret.
If only...
The person she encountered in the Star Luo Empire was Dai Mubai from that world.
How wonderful that would be!
Even if that man is a bit of a womanizer or a bit domineering.
At least.
He is a truly upright and honorable man.
Instead of this coward who only knows how to run away.
"I really want to go to that world..."
Zhu Zhuqing sighed silently in her heart.
This idea wasn't just hers alone.
Right now.
Throughout the entire dark world, countless people gazed up at the sky, all sharing the same thought:
If we could travel back in time.
Even being a shoe-shining servant for that boss is better than suffering in this world!
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Courtyard No. 1.
Dai Mubai pushed open the courtyard gate, the lingering echoes of the cheers still ringing in his ears, but his expression quickly became composed.
The arrogance and haughtiness he displayed when facing outsiders were gone.
Instead, there is a rare kind of relaxation.
Under the old locust tree in the yard.
Zhu Zhuqing was sitting on a stone bench.
Holding a piece of silk in her hand, she carefully wiped the dagger that she never parted with.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling her body and dancing on her black, tight-fitting leather outfit, outlining her breathtaking curves.
I heard the door open.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't stop what she was doing, and she didn't even lift her head.
"I'm back."
The sound was very soft.
You can't tell if he's happy or angry; it's just like a casual question between an ordinary couple.
Dai Mubai walked over.
He didn't sit down directly, but stood behind Zhu Zhuqing, stretched out a large hand, and gently placed it on her shoulder.
My palms are warm.
It carries a reassuring power.
"I'm back."
Dai Mubai responded.
He looked down at the girl who was usually as aloof as ice.
Only he knows.
How hot this ice will be after it melts into water.
It's very noisy outside.
Zhu Zhuqing put away the dagger and finally raised her head.
Those dark eyes reflected Dai Mubai's handsome, almost otherworldly face.
"Everyone is calling your name."
"Those noble ladies are practically hoarse from shouting."
Dai Mubai smiled.
His fingers slid down her shoulder and gently lifted her chin.
Are you jealous?
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away, avoiding his fingers.
"I'm busy."
"I'm thinking I need to intensify my training in the future."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even know if someone stole it away one day, leaving not even bones or ashes."
Those words were barbed.
But Dai Mubai could tell that the thorn was soft.
He walked around to the front of the stone bench, squeezed in and sat down without saying a word, stretched out his long arm and pulled the girl, who had been keeping a haughty air, into his arms.
Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened for a moment.
It struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, then went limp.
She rested her head against Dai Mubai's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
"You can't take it away."
Dai Mubai casually toyed with her smooth black hair and said:
"No matter how many flowers and plants there are outside, they are just pleasing to the eye."
"You are the only one who can truly entrust her with your back."
That's a very common saying.
But when Dai Mubai said it, it carried an air of unquestionable authority.
Zhu Zhuqing did not speak.
But the hand on his waist tightened slightly.
She didn't actually care about Qian Renxue.
They didn't care about those beautiful women.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, the powerful are never short of vassals.
All she cared about was this man's attitude towards her.
In the white world.
Dai Mubai gave her the sense of security she needed.
It's not about talking.
It was earned through sheer force of the fist.
When Dai Mubai first arrived in Tiandou City, some arrogant young master harassed Zhu Zhuqing. Without saying a word, he crippled the man's third leg right there in the street.
That moment.
Zhu Zhuqing knew that.
He's the one for me.
...
Above the sky.
This heartwarming and sweet scene was presented to everyone in both worlds without reservation.
There were no earth-shattering vows.
There was no sentimental talk of life and death.
It was just a simple hug, just two simple sentences.
But it brought tears to the eyes of countless people.
White world.
The streets and alleys of Tiandou City.
The girls who were initially jealous of Dai Mubai's departure from the Crown Prince's residence all fell silent.
"It's so sweet..."
"Although Dai Shao is a womanizer, he is really good to Zhu Zhuqing."
"Those eyes don't lie."
"Yes, is that the aura of the empress? So composed, completely fearless."
In the underworld.
The atmosphere, however, became extremely strange.
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang, who had been mocking Dai Mubai's chaotic private life, was now speechless, his mouth agape.
He wanted to find fault.
I wanted to say that this is against etiquette.
But seeing the natural intimacy and trust between the two in the picture, his dry, philosophical pronouncements suddenly seemed pale and powerless.
The trainees from the underworld were completely stunned.
"This...this is just too enviable!"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but swallow.
"Brother Dai, look at what they're like."
"They're both chasing girls, but one guy keeps his wife at home while having affairs on the side, and he can still keep his wife completely submissive."
"Take another look at our place..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone understands what it means.
Dai Mubai, a figure from the underworld, would only become enraged after being caught at the Rose Hotel.
He would only yell at Zhu Zhuqing, saying that it was his freedom.
Compare the two.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
...
The Dark World, a corner of Shrek Academy's compound.
Hei Dai Mubai stared intently at the sky.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.
His fingernails dug deep into his palms, and blood flowed down between his fingers, but he was completely unaware.
"Pretending..."
"It's all an act!"
He gritted his teeth and forced out the sound.
"That bastard just got out of another woman's bed!"
"How can he still pretend to be so affectionate?"
"That bitch Zhu Zhuqing, can't she see that it's just an act?"
"Dirty!"
"Shameless!"
He cursed wildly in his mind.
They were trying to use this method to cover up their inner jealousy and panic.
He was jealous of Bai Daimubai's carefree attitude.
They were even more terrified by the seemingly insurmountable gap between themselves and the other party.
It was not far from him.
Zhu Zhuqing, from the underworld, was leaning against a large tree.
She heard Dai Mubai cursing.
The man was like a mad dog, barking wildly at the sky.
Zhu Zhuqing felt nauseous.
She turned her head away, no longer looking at her fiancé who had disappointed her so much.
Our gaze returned to the sky.
Looking at the image of myself being held in Bai Dai Mubai's arms.
Zhu Zhuqing from that world.
A very faint smile played at the corners of his lips.
It's very shallow.
But it's very real.
That was a sense of peace and contentment that came from the heart.
"This is so nice..."
Hei Zhuzhu raised her hand and subconsciously touched her cheek.
It was ice-cold.
Those were tears.
She couldn't remember the last time she had laughed like that.
Since arriving at Shrek.
Ever since I met that depraved Dai Mubai.
In her world, there was only endless cultivation and indifference.
She wrapped herself in a hard shell of ice, afraid of getting hurt in the slightest.
But looking at the sky...
She only found out then.
So, she can be that gentle too.
As long as there is a strong enough chest to shield her from all the storms.
"If I were there too..."
Even sharing with others...
"Isn't this much better than being stuck with a good-for-nothing like this?"
Once this thought arises...
It grew wildly in my heart like weeds.
Looking at the domineering yet gentle man in the sky, Hei Zhuzhuqing's eyes revealed undisguised longing and a hint of barely perceptible lust.
...
The images on the celestial screen flowed.
White World, Courtyard No. 1.
Night was falling.
The lanterns in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze.
Dai Mubai was still holding Zhu Zhuqing.
The two remained in the same position, only pressed even closer together.
Are you tired?
Dai Mubai felt the person in his arms' breathing become steady and asked softly.
Zhu Zhuqing hummed in agreement.
The voice was somewhat languid, like a cat that had just woken up.
"Today's training volume was a bit high."
"That madman Yu Tianheng, after you beat him up, he was like he was on steroids, dragging us along to spar with him."
She complained.
But there wasn't much dissatisfaction in his tone.
Dai Mubai chuckled softly.
"That kid's not bad, he's got some backbone."
"But if he makes you tired, then it's his fault."
As he spoke.
Dai Mubai suddenly stood up.
He also swept Zhu Zhuqing, who was in his arms, into his arms.
"ah..."
Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft cry.
Her hands instinctively hooked around Dai Mubai's neck.
Two blushes instantly rose on that cool and aloof face.
What are you doing?
"It's still daytime..."
Although she verbally refused, her body betrayed her, showing no sign of struggling.
Dai Mubai looked down at her.
A fire was burning in those evil eyes.
It wasn't murderous intent.
It is the most primal desire, and also the purest possessiveness.
What happened during the day?
"This yard is mine."
"The person is mine too."
Dai Mubai carried her and strode into the house.
The pace was steady.
Every step felt like stepping on one's heart.
"Since you're tired."
"Then get some rest."
"By the way, let me check you out and see if you're injured."
The implication in those words is too strong.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head even further, her entire face almost pressed against Dai Mubai's chest.
"rogue..."
She muttered a curse under her breath.
Her voice was so soft and sweet it could drip water.
Dai Mubai burst into laughter.
The laughter was hearty and cheerful.
"To deal with you, you little wildcat."
"How can you keep them in check if you're not a bit of a rogue?"
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
It was locked up again.
All the spring light was kept indoors.
Only on the windows.
Two overlapping figures were reflected in the image.
...
This moment.
Both worlds fell silent.
People in the white world smiled knowingly.
That's a blessing for the strong, and also an acknowledgment of this relationship.
In this world.
There are no stories more captivating than those of talented men and beautiful women, heroes and heroines.
Dai Mubai is strong enough.
Zhu Zhuqing is beautiful.
They were a match made in heaven.
As for Qianrenxue?
That's just an embellishment on the path to becoming a strong person.
In the underworld.
That deathly silence was like the calm before a storm.
Tang San stood still.
Looking at the tightly closed door, looking at the silhouette in the window.
His face was a little pale.
Although he kept emphasizing purity and innocence, and stressed that one should not fall in love too early.
But as a normal man...
Seeing this scene.
Especially since the male lead is Dai Mubai, whom he usually looks down on.
The impact was simply too great.
"Utterly shameless!"
After struggling for a long time, Tang San finally managed to utter these four words.
Just those four words.
Whether it was more anger or sourness, even he himself probably couldn't say for sure.
Xiao Wu stood next to him.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused.
As she looked at the window, the image of Dai Mubai holding Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily came to mind.
That embrace.
It looks really warm.
I feel very safe.
Then look at Tang San beside me.
He always has the air of a gentleman, and he even blushes for a long time when he holds hands with someone.
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
but...
I feel like something's missing.
It lacks that domineering aura that gets your heart racing.
"If it's that Boss Dai..."
What will he do to me?
Xiao Wu quickly shook her head, banishing the dangerous thought from her mind.
I can't think about it.
That was Zhu Qing's fiancé.
It's from another world.
But once that seed is planted in your heart, it's not so easy to pull it out.
The one who suffered the most was Hei Dai Mubai.
He's like a clown who's been stripped naked and thrown out into the street.
On the sky.
Another version of himself is enjoying the bliss of having multiple wives, embracing a beauty and going to Wushan.
And him.
He could only watch helplessly as his fiancée treated him coldly from this dark and gloomy corner.
This contrast.
That's practically torture.
"ah!!!"
Hei Dai Mubai finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He slammed his fist against the wall and let out a beast-like roar.
"Turn it off!"
"Turn it off!"
"I'm not watching anymore! I'm not watching anymore!"
He screamed hysterically.
But the sky was high in the sky.
How can he just shut it down whenever he wants?
The light from that window was like a red-hot branding iron, imprinted firmly on his retina.
They mocked his incompetence.
They mocked his cowardice.
Dai Mubai from the White World is showing him through his actions:
What defines a man.
What does it mean to conquer?
What does it mean to be... awesome!
Xiao Wu stood beside Tang San, her once bright eyes now appearing somewhat blank.
She stared at the window in the sky, which was gradually darkening. Her mind was filled with the domineering way Dai Mubai kicked open the door and Zhu Zhuqing's soft, sweet voice calling her a "rogue."
That was a charm she had never seen in Zhu Zhuqing before.
It was a heat she had never felt from Tang San before.
"Third Brother..."
Xiao Wu called out subconsciously, her voice very soft.
Tang San stiffened, turned around, and forced a gentle smile onto his face.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu? Are you tired? Go back and rest early. Those... those shameless scenes are better left unseen."
He spoke with righteous indignation.
But to Xiao Wu's ears, it always felt like something was missing.
Don't you have any shame?
Maybe.
But Zhu Zhuqing in that world was truly happy.
