Chapter 49: I Believe You’re Ah Le

The late-night snack was over a hundred skewers of both meat and vegetables. Considering that Qin Liang was a patient, she didn’t order any alcohol, but chose iced sparkling water instead.

“Old Qin, you’re finally back to normal. We thought you had gone crazy.”

“Same here, same here. Just like Ah Le this morning, everything seemed strange to you.”

Using the temporary hospital bed as a table, they set out the skewers and sparkling water. The group sat on plastic chairs, chatting and laughing.

Lin Haiyu tilted his head back and chugged a mouthful of sparkling water. His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Tang Yunle, who was taking small sips of her iced drink. He kindly reminded her, “Ah Le, you should drink less carbonated drinks. Drinking too much will affect your figure and lower your rating.”

Tang Yunle rolled her eyes at him.

‘Every other sentence is about my figure, and every other sentence is about being a female pet. They really don’t see me as a person.’

However, she secretly glanced at the young man with ice-blue pupils who was eating extra-spicy grilled squid tentacles at the opposite table, and she started to mutter to herself.

‘How should I reveal my identity to Ah Liang?’

She looked down at the two round, snow-white orbs wrapped in her bunny girl outfit. Tang Yunle felt a headache coming on.

Could she just hook her arm around Qin Liang’s neck and say, “Good brother, we’ve both transmigrated. In this parallel world, not only am I not a man, but I’m also a female pet with no status. From now on, I can only rely on you to protect me.”

Putting aside whether they would be like fellow countrymen meeting in a foreign land, with tears in their eyes, or stabbing each other in the back.

Just this kind of life of living under someone else’s roof was not what Tang Yunle wanted.

And this world didn’t care about gender equality. As a man, Qin Liang was a natural vested interest in this H-anime world. How would he view her, who had been gender-bent?

Would it be, “Even if you’re a woman, I’ll still see you as a good brother?” or “Good brother, you smell so good?”

Or maybe, “Please go and die, brother. One man is enough in this H-anime world?” or, “Since you’re a female pet anyway, why don’t you be my female pet? Be good, be obedient, and call me master?”

Tang Yunle didn’t know.

She couldn’t figure it out either.

In this world, as a female pet, her status was too low, or rather, she had no status at all. She had no idea how to confess to Qin Liang, and she had no ability to bear the corresponding risks.

After all, people’s hearts are separated by their stomachs.

She and Qin Liang were, after all, just roommates who had only known each other for a month in college.

Taking a bite of the grilled enoki mushrooms, Tang Yunle secretly glanced at the young man with ice-blue pupils who was wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin. She had already made a decision in her heart.

‘I can’t confess, at least not now. I’ll first spend a few weeks observing Qin Liang’s behavior in this H-anime world. After confirming that his character and morals are in line, and that there are no signs of him being assimilated by this world, then I’ll confess.’

After the late-night snack, the three of them were ready to go back. However, Tang Yunle was asked to stay behind by Qin Liang on the pretext of signing a letter of understanding.

Lin Haiyu and Li Wei gave Qin Liang a meaningful look and left with the words, “Just have Ah Le dance ‘Gokuraku Jodo’ for you. Don’t be thinking of getting handsy. Ah Le is a high-value state property,” then they patted their butts and left.

Night, in the hospital room.

Qin Liang closed and locked the door of the hospital room to ensure that their subsequent conversation would not be disturbed by outsiders.

He sat back down in his seat. On the temporary bed that was acting as a table, there were still a few skewers that had already gone cold. He then looked at the female version of Tang Yunle from this parallel world, who was sitting across from him.

Because she had eaten a lot of chili powder with her skewers, the girl had taken off her stuffy trench coat and was sitting nonchalantly on the plastic chair.

The fluffy bunny ear ornament trembled with her movements. The tight bunny girl uniform wrapped around her graceful curves, and the black fishnet pants on her lower body outlined her long, straight legs. The fluffy bunny tail hung by the side of the chair.

The blush from eating the spicy food had not yet faded, spreading from her collarbone to the tips of her ears, creating two patches of crimson. Even her exposed ankles were a faint pink.

Even Qin Liang was momentarily captivated.

But when he came back to his senses and thought of the important matter at hand, the young man with ice-blue pupils straightened his back.

He picked up the electronic tablet that the hospital had just sent over, waiting for him to sign the letter of understanding. But instead of signing his name, he waved for Tang Yunle to look at him and cleared his throat. “First, let me introduce myself.”

“My name is Qin Liang. I’m eighteen years old, from Wanqing City. I’m currently a student at Nanchang Jiaoyuan College, and my dorm room number is 812. Besides me, there are three other people in dorm room 812: Lin Haiyu, Li Wei, and you…”

At this point, Qin Liang suddenly leaned forward, his gaze fixed on the bunny girl who was currently nibbling on a skewer, and he said, word by word, “Tang Yunle.”

“I come from a world where men and women are equal. In that world, there are no female pets, no female pet majors, and certainly no female version of Tang Yunle.”

“The person I know, he’s a boy.”

After saying this, the young man’s gaze was fixed on the person before him, filled with the last glimmer of hope, as if he were waiting for a response.

However…

The beautiful bunny girl tilted her head, her lips red from the chili powder. “Ah Liang, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Haven’t I always been a female pet?”

In an instant, Qin Liang’s ice-blue pupils trembled violently. The last flicker of flame wavered, like a candle in the wind.

But the young man still wouldn’t give up. He clutched the electronic tablet tightly, his knuckles white from the excessive force. “Stop pretending. I know it’s you!”

“You’ve also suddenly come to this world and can’t adapt, right? You don’t know what a female pet is, you don’t know what the rating system is, and you certainly don’t know what female pet culture is.”

“Otherwise, the strangeness that happened to you this morning can’t be explained at all.”

In response, the bunny girl blinked her innocent big eyes, her pink lips slightly pouted, as if to say, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Tang Yunle, stop pretending! Even if you’ve turned into a woman, I won’t laugh at you!” The young man, getting no response, suddenly slammed his hand on the table in a rage.

“I know you must have retained your memories! We both transmigrated this morning! We were both at a loss in this world at first!!”

“Oh my, what is Ah Liang talking about?”

“Bunny was just playing an amnesia game this morning.”

The beautiful bunny girl tilted her head, her fluffy bunny ears swaying with the movement. “On the contrary, Ah Liang is the one saying strange things that Bunny doesn’t understand.”

Cute, alluring, making one want to hold her and dote on her.

But the young man suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head, his face as dark as water. His fingers swiped quickly across the electronic tablet, the white light reflecting off his ice-blue eyes, filled with a bone-chilling ruthlessness after the initial coldness.

“Ah Liang, are you signing the letter of understanding? Are you forgiving Bunny?” Tang Yunle’s acting bug was acting up, and she deliberately pretended to be innocent.

“No.”

“You know so many of my secrets. Do you think you can still live?”

“Not only will I not sign the letter of understanding now, but I will also sue you for intentional assault!”

Qin Liang looked up, his ice-blue pupils no longer filled with their usual refined gentleness, but with a desperate, savage madness. He glanced at the bunny girl and sneered.

“Female pet Tang Yunle, just you wait to be sued!”

Holy cr*p! I’ve gone too far!
