QT: Against My Will

When Bing Shi thought about how she would finally take a breaker from being world-famous, the HQ threw this mission at her.

She shoved the bad thoughts at the back of her mind immediately, squealing in joy internally when baby Shiro appeared before her eyes.

‘Aaaah, I’m too happy!’

Her ebony eyes dimmed a bit when she realized that Xuan Mu lost his memories again.

‘Didn’t HQ give him a system to retain his memories?’

She read Xuan Mu’s messages prior to his appearance in this world from baby Shiro. They did give him an apparatus more substantial than a system. Did he make an error while altering the present? It seemed like it as there was no chance for him to wait four agonizing years for her arrival and wipe out his memories again.

‘Xuan Mu...’

‘Who are you this time?’

° A year ago...

° A renowned psychologist pointed at the seat next to him, “Lu Kai, why don’t you take a seat and we’ll have a little chat?”

° ‘Ask me one more time how the fuck I feel, Imma fucking lose my mind.’ Sitting at the armchair, Lu Kai hid his annoyance as he looked up at the ceiling of his psychologist’s office, which had a relaxing and homely feeling to it. He was called here for a change of place. The longer he existed, the more he wanted to put a trigger up his temple and squeeze it. Why couldn’t he enjoy life as it was? Every single time, it was depression, depression, and depression. Lord, he knew he wasn’t a saint. But tell him what he did to deserve this constant pain. What he did to deserve this invisible hurt. When all he ever did was put everybody first.

° Not feeling like having a chat, Lu Kai asked for some pills, “I just need something to reduce this irritation.”

° “Lu Kai, I can’t just give you...”

° “Then I’ll be on my way,” Lu Kai stood up and left the office, tilting his head at his ring, his anxiety increased.

Current time...

“Woah, my eyes are always the same, aren’t they?” Bing Shi looked at her past self. Ru Quan spoke about little monster a lot, there was her life as a nun too. It was such a surprise to find out that they met in the past again. “Did you draw that? What’s your name? How old are you? Where are you? Can we meet up? Aaah, I’m too excited. My mouth can’t stop talking.” She covered her mouth, giggling, “Your turn. Your turn.”

“I... I took a few art classes.” Lu Kai pulled at his neck collar, his body temperature raised immeasurably. It was such a novel-like sensation. Her reaction caught him off guard. Having her accept Xue Bi’s existence so fast made him feel ecstatic.

“Could you lower the temperature?” Lu Kai rolled down the privacy screen and asked the ‘taxi’ driver. He asked his assistant for a taxi with tinted black glass, not this extravaganza.

“Yes sir.” The chauffeur nodded his head as he lowered the temperature of the luxury car even lower. His attire was similar to that of a first-class-butler. Experienced, he didn’t put his nose in others’ privacy. Their company focused on premium transport services.

“Lu Kai, twenty-two years old...” Lu Kai died when he reached eighteen, he also transmigrated into an eighteen years old body. “Right now I’m in Avrona, and on my way to the airport. I planned to attend a conference in Solis, regarding a new project, but I’ll postpone it and meet up with you first.”

Bing Shi, “If it’s important...”

“No. It’s not important...” Lu Kai stopped her, emphasizing every word, “It’s Not Important...”

“As if I would believe that you would attend something unimportant.” Bing Shi laughed at his blatant lie, “You either pick me up in country C, or I attend your meeting to see you in action myself.”

“I’ll pick you up,” Lu Kai covered his mouth to hide his excited smile. He immediately contacted his assistant, typing out Bing Shi’s address, “Want me to get you some souvenirs? Country Avrona’s sweet potatoes?”

Bing Shi squealed in joy, “Triple YES!”

He chuckled. It was as if they knew each other for decades. After a long chatting session, he asked, “Do you smoke?”

“No, don’t tell me that I smoked in the past?” Bing Shi shook her head in disbelief, “Oh no, my battery is dyin...”

The connection between them was cut off.

“You did, but....” Lu Kai pumped his temple against the car’s window, “...you stopped for me...” He took a deep breath and called his assistant, “When is my flight?”

The surprised male assistant that had been waiting at the airport searched for a flight to another country without questioning. “The earliest flight to Pujing City is in five hours.”

The impatient Lu Kai couldn’t wait for so long, “Get me a private jet.”

‘What the heck?!’ The assistant scratched his head in confusion but still did as ordered. This renewable energy and equipment manufacturing giant would fly business class at most. He could afford the skies but still lived in a one-bedroom apartment. One would think he was a cheapskate or humble, but no. He followed the ‘Make money first, buy toys later’ rule. He would sometimes splurge on odd things. Like building a secret passage for his baby in the underground garage.

· · — · ???· — · ·

When Lu Kai stepped inside the private jet, he could hear a female’s voice from behind the doors, and a flight attendant that spied on what seemed to be an arguing couple.

“I’ve been your contracted lover for three months already, Quin Yu, you never said how you feel towards me. Please, Quin Yu, I don’t care about your money, I only want you to love me. Nothing more,” her voice sounded as if she would break down any time, “Please, Quin Yu.”

“Get off the plane,” a cold voice responded with no trace of warmth, “You breached the contract the second you confessed.”

“Why? No, I didn’t!” The famous actress started to cry hysterically, “You still don’t love me? After all the sex we had?!”

“So? You know that I don’t make love and you still asked for it.” The man ordered the bulky guard to drag the woman outside, glaring at the closed doors, his cold tone was harsh and menacing, “The one who’s been listening to the whole time, get here!”

Lu Kai leaned against the wall, crossing his arms, he glanced at the flight attendant that had her ear glued to the door, “Is this soap opera performance part of my premium services?”

Hearing Quin Yu’s ruthless order, Aoi Hong never felt so scared in her life before, and when she heard another deep voice behind, she jumped in shock. Turning around, she only saw a silhouette of a tall man walking towards the exit. The white coat... Was he a doctor?

Lu Kai didn’t listen to the whole conversation, so it had nothing to do with him. He called his assistant. It seemed they made a mistake and allocated an unprofessional, flight crew with pigtails and fake black-rimmed eyeglasses into his flight. If that girl wanted to go undercover as a flight attendant, she failed miserably.

Aoi Hong just transmigrated into this body, and not only her job as a host but also her job as a journalist was already at risk! She wasn’t a true flight attendant nor a journalist. She was just a side character that would end up as a female lead’s stepping stone.

The female lead’s company forced her to interview the most mysterious and dangerous, Quin Yu! Unfortunately, the female lead got sick. Afraid of losing her job, she asked Aoi Hong to go in her stead.

The previous Aoi Hong, as the female lead’s best friend, didn’t have a choice but give the real flight attendants some laxatives at the airport. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to pass through the security check. But that was where she would meet her demise. Entangling herself with a wrong man, the initially innocent girl would change beyond recognition. For Quin Yu’s love and affection, the previous Aoi Hong turned viciously jealous.

Aoi Hong watched how the burly guard carried the famous actress out. She hurriedly used her spy camera attached to her shirt button to take a picture, so she could blackmail Quin Yu later!

When their eyes met, Aoi Hong was too stunned to move. Black hair and eyes like the deepest part of Abyss. Sitting on the leather couch, the man was a hundred times more handsome than any man she met before, considering that she didn’t meet a lot because most of her life in the past was spent in a hospital. Even the famous actors and idols would pale in comparison to his perfect face and body. No wonder the famous actress would beg at his legs. His beauty was a crime! And that beautiful man was currently glaring sharp glaciers at her as if wanting to freeze her cold! He oozed out a ‘dangerous’ aura that made her legs squirm in anxiety.
