The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 74

Chapter 74: Starting a Relationship with a Bouquet of Flowers

The night was deep. An aircraft stopped at the street corner, and a person got out.

She landed steadily. She was about to turn back and say something to the person in the car when a hand reached out from inside, pulled her closer, and half of her body leaned out of the door to drop a kiss on her forehead.

Tan Yicheng raised her hand to touch her forehead. The words she had wanted to say were all forgotten by the kiss, and her mind went blank.

Xi Congshuang held her hand, held her hands together, and then separated them, then swung them back and forth. This action was so childish that it was very unlike Xi Congshuang. Tan Yicheng couldn’t help but laugh.

The embarrassment of just having confessed was washed away by this action. Tan Yicheng asked, “What’s wrong with you? I’m about to go back.”

Why do you look so unhappy?

Xi Congshuang raised her face, and indeed, she showed an unhappy face. The polite, fake smile she often showed was also gone. Her cheeks were slightly puffed up, as if she were sulking and a little annoyed.

She didn’t speak, just stared at her with her smoky-gray eyes. Tan Yicheng completely understood. She was sulking.

Although she didn’t know what she was sulking about, Tan Yicheng knew that once Xi Congshuang was unhappy, she didn’t like to talk.

Was she like this when she was growing up? She wouldn’t say it when she was unhappy, just stare at the other person gloomily until the other person finally got it and corrected themselves, and then she wouldn’t be angry anymore.

Tan Yicheng also learned from her and swung her hand. She was so childish that she almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “If you don’t say it, I’m going to leave. At that time, I won’t be able to hear you even if you want to say it.”

Xi Congshuang looked at her faintly and suddenly wanted to pull her hand back. Of course, she did not succeed.

She was half-pushing and half-pulling, as if she really couldn’t do anything about her, and stopped pulling. “I don’t want you to go back.”

“But I have an early class tomorrow.” Tan Yicheng’s mouth made a straight-A sound.

Xi Congshuang: “…”

She was almost led astray by the straightforward alpha. The ambiguous atmosphere that had been so hard to create was scattered.

Xi Congshuang had no choice but to say, “I mean, I’ll miss you.”

Tan Yicheng was stunned. The hand that was holding her loosened, and the warmth in her palm slipped away. Before she could subconsciously reach out to grab the hands that had left first, she heard her speak again.

Xi Congshuang said, “I’m also annoyed that I said it so quickly and didn’t make more preparations.”

When she had only heard the first half of the sentence, Tan Yicheng had been nervous for a moment, thinking that Xi Congshuang had regretted it. After hearing the second half, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.

It turned out that it wasn’t regret, but that the young miss felt that she hadn’t done enough for the sense of ceremony, and her “perfectionism” had acted up, which made her feel unhappy.

“It’s a pity that I forgot to bring a bouquet of flowers when I confessed. I’ll compensate you with a small cake first.” As Xi Congshuang spoke, she took out a small, exquisitely packaged cake from somewhere as if by magic.

It was a bit of a pity that there were no flowers, but… Tan Yicheng said strangely, “Why are you so insistent on giving me flowers?”

“It should be what a friend said. I’ve always remembered someone telling me that ‘you have to bring a bouquet of flowers to confess to be sincere and to be ready to start a new relationship’.” The more Xi Congshuang spoke, the more she felt that she had not done well enough, and she wished she could use a time machine to go back to that point in time and remind herself to be fully prepared.

Her thoughts at this time were the complete opposite of when she was walking by the river. Reason and mission had long been thrown to the nine heavens. Her mind was full of the newly formed love.

The cake box, which still had a cool aura, was placed in Tan Yicheng’s palm. Xi Congshuang pulled her elbow and bent down. This time, it was not on her forehead, but a kiss on her lips.

Only then was she willing to let her go back.

Back in the dormitory, Tan Yicheng took a shower and passed by the table. The small cake that had not been put away was still on the table.

In the beautiful packaging was a sweet little cake, about the size of a palm, snow-white, with only chocolate as a decoration, exquisite and small, just the right amount for one person to finish.

The packaging box had a built-in preservation function, so there was no need to worry about the taste being bad after being left for a long time.

Tan Yicheng, with her freshly blown hair, stared at the cake as if mesmerized for a long while. She actually had the thought of not being willing to tear open this work of art and eat it.

After thinking for a long while, Tan Yicheng carried the small cake into the refrigerator as if she were a god. She was still not ready to eat the love cake.

It was already late. Tan Yicheng lay on the bed and pulled up the blanket, her posture straight and proper. She closed her eyes in the faint night light.

The room was quiet for a long while. The person who was supposedly asleep suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were surprisingly bright in the night light. Slowly, like a rabbit backing into its hole, she stuffed herself into the blanket, forming a small mountain, and twisted constantly.

What on earth happened tonight?

And what did she do?

The excitement of being confessed to and kissed finally came crashing back after a long and winding road, and with a boom, it burned Tan Yicheng’s brain dry, and she had time to feel embarrassed.

But there was no one around at night. Otherwise, she would have been like the omega she had seen in the restaurant, jumping up with joy, wishing she could tell everyone that she and Xi Congshuang were dating, and have all these restless AABBOOs put away their smart devices and not use all sorts of pretexts to ask for Xi Congshuang’s contact information.

As for the scene of her being asked for her contact information? It had long been ignored by this straight A.

Tan Yicheng, who was excited, did not think that the next day, when she was so sleepy that she couldn’t hold on, she would forget to tell her friends about this.

***

The moon rose to its highest point, uninhibitedly sprinkling all its brilliance on the Central Star.

Xi Congshuang was not yet asleep. She had just gotten home not long ago, had washed up, and was preparing to go back to her room to sleep.

The person, who was covered in steam, came out to drink water. As she passed by the living room, her figure paused. She always felt that there was something extra in the house.

Her gaze quickly swept over the panoramic view of the living room, and her gaze fixed on a red shadow.

The red shadow was not big, and its whole body was round, as red as a ruby, like the red apple that had been sent out by the queen in Snow White. But this apple had a pair of pure white wings more than the apple in the queen’s hand.

The red apple with wings was looking at the data on the virtual screen.

The red apple, which had been turned on by eating energy, finally went online and met Xi Congshuang’s gaze. It immediately abandoned the virtual screen floating in front of its eyes and flew over like a happy little bird.

But compared to a small bird in terms of size, this apple seemed a bit chubby, like the red angry bird in some kind of throwing game.

This little bird was a little more talkative than that angry bird.

The red apple’s tone was excited. “I haven’t been online much these past few days. I didn’t expect you to do something big. Tell me, what did you do?”

Xi Congshuang: “I confessed to Tan Yicheng. Is there a way for me to stay in this world a little longer?”

The red apple: “…”

After a few seconds of silence, the red apple slowly landed. “I just crashed. I didn’t hear clearly. What did you say?”

It was as if some horror story had flashed by quickly.

The red apple’s pure white wings closed, covering its eyes, unwilling to face reality.

#Apple, don’t look. It’s a ghost story#

But the reality was not something the apple could avoid just because it was unwilling. Xi Congshuang repeated her ghost story again in her usual first tone.

Xi Congshuang repeated again, “I confessed to Yicheng. Is there a way for me to stay here a little longer, preferably until I die of old age?”

The red apple: “………”

Again, as expected!

Although repeating the same mistake is late, it’s here. When did the change happen?!

It’s only been a few days since I’ve been online. How did the progress bar suddenly go from mutual hostility to mutual love? Could this be the power of loving and killing each other?

Is the price of a full meal really selling your soul?

The red apple was heartbroken, the red apple shed tears, the red apple learned from its pain, and finally decided to give up struggling.

Compared to being hungry and points, it still chose points, although it would be a little less than the points obtained by completing the mission on time and evacuating the small world early.

It was better than nothing. Thinking of the last small world, Xi Congshuang was really capable of doing things like loving even if she died. After so long, the red apple still had a lingering fear.

This was the disadvantage of an artificial intelligence chip’s storage capacity being too strong. As long as it was retrieved, it could return to the scene at that time and remember the mood at that time.

The red apple was already prepared to accept everything. With the first time, this time it actually felt that it was not so difficult to accept.

Looking again, there was only so much left of the collapse value.

From a high of 90, the collapse value had dropped to the current 22.95.

Speaking of which, when on earth could that 0.95 be eliminated?

It was difficult to have it both ways in the world. For the sake of the collapse value, just endure it.

In the living room, Xi Congshuang looked down at the red apple that was wrapped in its pure white wings. It had been quiet for a little too long, more than ten seconds.

She understood it and knew that it couldn’t hold back its words. And she had also thought about how to threaten… no, persuade the red apple to agree to her.

The red apple: “Forget it. You’ll die of old age here.”

Xi Congshuang’s full of drafts paused. “?”

Rarely seeing Xi Congshuang at a loss, the red apple actually felt a strange sense of satisfaction. “Hmph, hmph. Live well and enjoy your love!”

You’ve already paid the price, you fickle woman.

With that, it went offline again to recuperate, converting this portion of energy into points.

As the old saying goes, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small. The energy converted from emotions is also points. If you save it up, it will become a big chicken leg.

***

Qi Qianqian felt a little strange today. This strangeness was not mysterious or difficult to detect, but very obvious.

Not to mention Qi Qianqian had noticed, even Xiang Wei had noticed. The food was not fragrant, and she seemed to have symptoms of restlessness.

Because the two of them were sitting opposite Xi Congshuang, who was eating lunch quietly and elegantly. Tan Yicheng was sitting next to her, and for a rare occasion, she had abandoned her nature of quick battles and had become a slow eater.

But from her attitude, she was quite used to it, as if it was not the first time she had eaten with Xi Congshuang.

She didn’t know how things had turned out this way. Before lunch, the three of them had come to the cafeteria as usual to get food, chatting as they ate. Just as they were about to queue, Xi Congshuang had arrived late but just in time and had appeared in the cafeteria.

Her appearance had attracted a lot of attention. According to everyone’s inertia, Xi Congshuang should have already finished her lunch and left long ago, not just appeared at the beginning.

In the midst of all the speculation, Xi Congshuang carried the ordered food tray and walked to the three-person dining table like a fairy.

Before Xi Congshuang could ask, Tan Yicheng moved and gave up her seat. The person who was standing by the table also sat down.

Xiang Wei, Qi Qianqian: o-O?

This also attracted daggers from all directions. They were all looking this way, both overtly and covertly, curious and shocked.

Since her identity was exposed, Xi Congshuang had not changed the name on her name tag and was still walking around with the name Xi Zhaoxue.

But the news that was broadcast on the StarNet yesterday had completely confirmed the rumor that she was the person in power of Future Pharmacy. They had thought that she would quietly disappear from the campus.

Who knew that she had still appeared today? They didn’t understand why she had to continue to stay instead of going back to the company.

Her intimidating uncle has been caught. Shouldn’t she go back to the company to consolidate her power and stage a real-life version of enduring for three years without making a move, and then suddenly erupting to capture the thief and welcome the return of the dragon king?

So in everyone’s eyes, the current Xi Congshuang eating in the cafeteria was no less than the richest man going to the countryside and eating with everyone in the cafeteria.

Speaking of which, according to the infinite assets in Xi Congshuang’s account, she could indeed occupy a place on the interstellar rich list, a veritable richest person on Red Tea Star.

Xi Congshuang, a woman who owned stars.

It was also strange. When facing her, Qi Qianqian always ignored the halo on her, but sometimes when she met her alone, she would feel that the other party was terrifyingly distant.

Qi Qianqian, who had lost her appetite, simply stopped eating and racked her brains to think about why Xi Congshuang would give her such a split feeling.

After some thought, she opened the control group in her mind and used the control variable method to eliminate them one by one. Qi Qianqian’s gaze fell on the elegantly eating Tan Yicheng.

It’s you, the variable in the control variable method.

When Orange was around, Xi Congshuang would still pretend a little to make herself look approachable and easy to get close to. As for the faint sense of distance, it would only be unconsciously ignored in front of her.

Although four people were eating together, there were always two who felt that they were redundant.

The lively cafeteria was centered on Xi Congshuang’s table, and a subtle silence fell within a five-meter radius. But outside of five meters, it was the opposite, and the quiet discussion was endless.

Xi Congshuang didn’t know if she had heard it or not. She quietly finished her lunch, picked up her clean food tray, and stood up. “I’m done eating. See you tonight.”

Tan Yicheng first nodded, then said, “I have a practical training class tonight. It will probably be later than the end of class. Why don’t you…”

She wanted to tell Xi Congshuang not to wait and to go home directly after work.

But the two of them had just confirmed their relationship and were in a period of intense love, always wanting to stick together. To let Xi Congshuang go back would seem a bit like “less gathering and more parting.”

This was the first time Tan Yicheng felt that her major’s classes were too full.

Xi Congshuang: “Then I’ll wait for you. I’ll go back after I finish eating. Anyway, I have nothing to do.”

If Glorie, who was a thousand miles away, had heard these heartless words, she would have definitely held her head and wailed until her boss had a conscience again and gave her a raise.

Before this, the boss had already given her a raise twice.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tan Yicheng’s eyes visibly lit up. Xi Congshuang’s hand lifted. If it weren’t for the many people around, she would have couldn’t help but touch her eyes with her fingertips.

“Then I’ll go first. See you later.”

“Okay, see you later.”

Tan Yicheng felt fully revived and had the energy to go to class.

After Xi Congshuang left, Qi Qianqian and the two of them went back to the teaching building with Tan Yicheng to continue their classes.

On the way, Qi Qianqian thought deeply and finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Clearing her throat, Qi Qianqian threw a brick to attract a jade. “Orange, don’t you think today’s Xi… Assistant Xi is a bit strange?”

She didn’t know what to use to describe her and had to go back to calling her Assistant Xi.

This sentence was like some kind of command. Tan Yicheng instinctively recalled all the details about Xi Congshuang since she had met her. There were so many details that if she were to say them out loud, Qi Qianqian would have called her terrifying, to the point where the teacher would have thought there was a pervert.

Then, Tan Yicheng shook her head. “No, she’s very normal.”

The clothes she was wearing were still light-colored, and the style was more casual and simple, but she still felt that Xi Congshuang looked better in a suit jacket and rimless glasses.

If it were that time in the hospital, and the glasses Glorie had found had a glasses chain, the viewing experience would have been even better.

Qi Qianqian always felt that her words contained a thousand words, but she couldn’t find a suitable way to point it out for a moment. Then she thought again, with their relationship, did they need to go through all those twists and turns?

Qi Qianqian asked directly, joking, “When did you two become so close? You even arranged to eat together. Speaking of which, she sat at the same table with us for dinner today. I was a little scared.”

To be honest, with Xi Congshuang’s status, if you wanted to have a meal with her at the same table, you would need at least an invitation, and then you would have dinner with her on a velvet-covered dining table with music.

Her council member mother might have a chance, but Qi Qianqian was still a student, so she shouldn’t even think about it.

“Did I forget to tell you?” Tan Yicheng finally remembered what she had forgotten after she got up. It turned out that she had forgotten to tell them, “Xi Congshuang and I are dating. We confirmed our relationship yesterday.”

She emphasized, “A couple’s relationship.”

“…”

Xiang Wei, who was drinking water on the side: “Pfft, cough, cough, cough!”

Qi Qianqian’s expression went blank, and she gasped.

Tan Yicheng raised her hand and patted Xiang Wei’s back. “Are you okay?”

The more she patted, the more Xiang Wei coughed. Her face turned red, and she kept waving her hands.

Xiang Wei’s voice was weak. “Stop patting. An alpha’s hand is strong. I feel like I’m about to die.”

Tan Yicheng silently withdrew her hand. “I’m sorry.”

Xiang Wei just shook her head. After she had recovered, the taciturn her said in shock, “You scared me to death.”

Qi Qianqian was doing a mechanical movement, constantly walking forward with the same distance of steps, thinking to herself, Who isn’t?

The afternoon classes were basically practical training classes. They had always followed a devilish training, adhering to the concept of “if you’re a little worse now, you’ll be a little worse on the battlefield in the future. What’s the difference between that and cannon fodder?” As long as there was someone who could still stand, they would train them to death.

Every student who came out of the mecha was as if they had been fished out of the water, drenched in sweat.

Tan Yicheng, who usually had the best grades, was no exception. She was not as serious as her classmates. After she got out, she could still stand firm by holding the wall, her forehead full of sweat.

The mental power required to pilot a mentally-linked aircraft and to pilot a mecha could not be compared. It was as intuitive as how much water was needed to fill a cup of water and a tank of water respectively.

In the interstellar era, there were not many people with mental power, and high-mental-power alphas were even rarer, only occupying a small part of the large population.

Most of these people worked in the military and did not easily appear in front of people.

So most of the aircraft on the market were not mentally-linked. The price of a mentally-linked aircraft was several times higher.

If it weren’t for the fact that those two aircraft were not only old in model but also not mentally-linked, Tan Yicheng could have used her mental power to force those two ambushing aircraft to land.

“Here.” A bottle of water was handed over from the side.

Tan Yicheng took it and twisted it open. With just one gulp, half of the water was gone. She stood on the side, leaning against the wall with Qi Qianqian, and looked at Xiang Wei getting on the mecha.

Qi Qianqian asked, “According to the training progress, it feels like the next field training is not far away. Why don’t we form a team then? I’ll go to the mecha repair department and ask for a student who is good to cooperate with.”

Tan Yicheng nodded. “Okay.”

This time, she did not refuse anyone’s team request.

Qi Qianqian began to plan. Every field training was a team of four to six people. There would be a spherical surveillance camera following them the whole time, and all their performance would be seen by the teachers and the instructors sent by the military.

Orange’s grades were there for all to see. The students from the mecha repair department were not otherworldly either. Everyone was here for good grades. At that time, there would definitely be many people who wanted to form a team.

She made up her mind to choose a cooperative partner who was a good match in all aspects, and then they would kill all sides together.

Qi Qianqian turned her head and was about to tell Tan Yicheng about her plan when she saw Tan Yicheng looking up, staring at Xiang Wei in the center of the field, serious and focused.

Although Tan Yicheng had been in class for a year more than them, it was not as if the other seniors who had been held back because of insufficient credits were much stronger than the students of this academic year. They still couldn’t sit steadily in a mecha, and after a few minutes of raising their arms, they would complain that their heads hurt, their mental power was about to be empty, and they were about to die, and they had to come down.

The one who was amazing had always been Tan Yicheng.

And she was an A-grade alpha. The pheromones she would need in the future would probably only be more.

The words that came out of her mouth suddenly took a turn. “Orange, if you’re really with Assistant Xi, what about your pheromones?”

Tan Yicheng came to her senses and said without thinking, “If I’m with her, I’ll have an endless supply of inhibitors.”

Girlfriend-exclusive, efficient, and free.

Author’s Note:

The name of the volume is a difficult thing to come up with. It’s easy to get it wrong (yes, I’m bad at naming, I admit it [please]), so I’ve decided not to name it! The moment I made the decision, I had a sense of heroic abandon (Wukong jumping on the beach.jpg)
