QT: Against My Will

143 3.12.48 – Overdosed – Downfall of Humanity

As a male lead who only saw the female lead, Yi Zen didn’t consider Bing Shi’s feelings and worries into consideration. He showcased his mighty side to his kitten, “Nothing changes the fact that you wasted lots of resources to come here. As punishment, you are cleaning all the dishes today.”

Yi Zen’s cold words resulted in his Kitten’s lips curling up.

Bing Shi’s body shivered, she hated cleaning dishes, “How would I know that you’d have so much energy left? To be fair. Why don’t you punish yourself too, big brother?” She played with Kuro’s cheeks, “Nothing of this would have happened if Miss Fu Lian didn’t disappear. Don’t take it personally, Miss Fu Lian; I’m not blaming you.”

‘Why would I be blamed when it has nothing to do with me? Yi Zen decided to come! And this little bitch worsened the situation by arriving too!’ Fu Lian gritted her teeth internally. If it were before, she would spit those words out without remorse.

Yi Zen didn’t find anything wrong with Bing Shi’s reasoning and agreed, “You are right. It’s our fault.”

“...” What could Fu Lian do? Look at how they cleaned the dishes together? Wouldn’t that look strange? She would be looked down upon by the soldiers.

“Why don’t you two reconcile and forget about the punishment?” said Fu Lian. This should get her a plus point in Yi Zen’s eyes as a compassionate lover.

“We can reconcile during the punishment,” Bing Shi replied with a smile, “It’s been a long time since we bonded with each other.”

Yi Zen frowned. “If that’s what Fu Lian wants,” he smiled gently at his kitten, “Then I’ll do it.”

.....

Bing Shi sighed, “You never behaved so nicely towards me. Miss Fu Lian, why don’t w-...”

“Don’t bring her into it,” Yi Zen refused disapprovingly, “She is tired. She needs to rest.”

Bing Shi spoke in a sad tone, “Then what about me? I didn’t sleep for two days.”

“??,” Fu Lian closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“...” Ren Han drove in silence and listened to how his grandma outwitted people with her calm and calculative responses.

Even Fu Lian, who would usually flare up reasoned with Bing Shi peacefully.

But how could the cold Fu Lian compete in talking? Especially with a woman who grew up with a man whose specialty was to outsmart his girlfriend, the moment he got a chance?

Back at the base, after the dinner, soldiers didn’t have to clean their plates. Instead, they gave their dirty plates to the pair of people behind the sink. Who might they be?

General Yi Zen and Fu Lian!

As an apology for worrying them, Fu Lian decided to cook dinner and clean the dishes afterward, gaining lots of praise in response! Everyone missed her food so much that they boot licked their Ice Queen to the heavens so that they could eat her food again.

After their general punished them for treating his woman poorly, they apologized for their bad behavior. Thanks to it, Fu Lian’s attitude changed into that of a few words, just like their general’s, cold, and indifferent. The woman who threatened to kill them on every occasion was gone.

Behind the back, it was said that the miracle happened thanks to Bing Shi as everything occurred after she picked their general up. Her message on the whiteboard and Ren Han was the proof. Who the heck was Bing Shi? They have no idea; they could only bow before this goddess in worship.

Fu Lian, who thought that she had the upper hand the whole time, frowned when she heard those rumors. “??,” her veins popped up. No matter how much better she got from then on, most of the praise would go to Bing Shi!

The only two people who didn’t eat Fu Lian’s food was Bing Shi and Ren Han, who were walking together towards their tents.

“Why don’t you eat her food?” asked Ren Han. He got a chance to taste Fu Lian’s food but refused. He tasted Fu Lian’s food behind her back many times, and it did taste better than anything he had before.

Bing Shi looked around and motioned for him to lower his head, whispering, “She has a healing pond. The reason why it tastes so good is that she puts a few drops of it into the food. But the thought that they did naughty things inside the pound makes my stomach churn. Don’t tell it to others. It’s good for everyone’s bodies.”

Ren Han grimaced and looked down at his rations, his steps slowed down, “Are you going to eat alone?”

“Yes,” Bing Shi said and pointed at her head, “Did you forget? I wear a mask.”

“But I know how you look like, we can eat together,” said Ren Han.

“Grandson, I’m warning you. Before it’s too late, don’t get too attached to me,” Bing Shi walked towards her tent, “Or you’ll get hurt.”

“Don’t I remind you of your boyfriend?” asked Ren Han while looking at his plate, “How will you know that I’m him if you don’t interact with me?”

Bing Shi stopped at her steps, “I’ll be taking a vacation in two and a half years. Until then, I can’t interact with you much. Right now, I’m too busy; I can’t waste my time on something uncertain.”

“What if I find a better girl than you? And suddenly remembers?” he asked, who would wait for so long? Was it because of her missions? Though she didn’t reveal what her purpose was, she sent him a quick transmigration story into his phone. After all this magical stuff happening to him, nothing could surprise him anymore. Grandma liked to joke though, so he still took everything with a pinch of salt.

“I like that question. You can do whatever you want,” Bing Shi shrugged her shoulders, her hands holding her tray tightly, “If you retain your memories, and thinks that the new girl is better, I’ll accept your decision. After all, my boyfriend deserves the best.”

“Don’t you deserve the best?” he asked and lifted his gaze with a grin; he liked her answer.

“That’s on him to decide,” Bing Shi left for her tent. “You are so good. You delayed me for such a long time. Usually, I’d shot people down in two sentences,” she chuckled and waved at him, “Happy birthday, I hope you enjoyed this day.”

“...”
