Chapter 58: Your Girlfriend Is Actually…

Qin Liang was stunned.

Tang Yunle, however, seemed oblivious. She tilted her head back and chugged from the bottle until the last drop of alcohol had gone down her throat.

She turned her head and met the young man’s ice-blue pupils. Her lips opened and closed a few times, and finally, it turned into a carefree smile. “Think on the bright side. At least I’m going to be rich for the rest of my life, with no worries about food or drink!”

“I’ve made a class leap in an instant, skipping twenty years of detours!”

“Haha!”

“Don’t be sad for me. Although I don’t have human rights, at least I have money, right?”

“In a few days, I… in a few days, I, Tang Yunle, will also be a proper rich second-generation!”

Alcohol trickled down the corner of her mouth, mixed with a liquid that was either alcohol or tears. The girl’s smile grew wider and wider, but her eyes were red with a heart-wrenching pain.

Qin Liang was silent for a moment.

Then, he took out a tissue and held it out to her.

“What are you doing? Do you think I’m sad?”

“I’m not crying! I’m not some whiny little woman! This is happiness! These are tears of joy!!”

Tang Yunle gritted her teeth and slapped the tissue away, then tilted her head back and chugged another mouthful of alcohol.

“Haha, from now on, I, Tang Yunle, will also be a rich second-generation. It’s so happy just to think about it.”

“Good brother, aren’t you happy for me?” the girl stared at the young man’s ice-blue pupils, her words enunciated one by one. “Just like those two clowns in the dorm, celebrate for me!”

“I’m an S-grade female pet now. After I’m invested in, I’ll have the ability to reach SS-grade! That’s the SS-grade that everyone admires!”

Qin Liang didn’t answer, but stubbornly pushed the tissue in his hand forward again.

The moment the tissue gently wiped her cheek, Tang Yunle suddenly froze. The next second, her lips pouted. “These are tears of joy. What are you wiping them for?”

“Good brother, you’re being so uncool right now. Not only are you not celebrating for me, but you’re also ruining the atmosphere. I shouldn’t have brought you out for barbecue.”

“Why did you resign yourself to fate?”

“Wha… what?”

“Why did you resign yourself to fate?”

“What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

Qin Liang shook his head.

He leaned forward, his ice-blue pupils like two cold flames, locking onto the girl’s red and tearful eyes, his words clear and distinct. “The Tang Yunle I know doesn’t resign herself to fate so easily.”

“She, no, he is lively, he is cheerful, he is helpful, as if all difficulties are nothing to him.”

“Tang Yunle, why did you resign yourself to fate?”

“Resign yourself to the fate of a female pet, resign yourself to the fate of this world, resign yourself to this fate that you don’t like.”

Tang Yunle was suddenly stunned. She stopped drinking, and the bottle “clattered” onto the table.

When she met the burning question in the young man’s eyes, suddenly, tears streamed down her face, and she broke down, covering her face with her hands.

“I don’t want to resign myself to fate, but I have to!”

“I also want to shout like Nezha, ‘My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens’,’ but I’m not Nezha. I have no money, no connections, and no background. Nezha can shout that because he has people behind him. If I shout that, I’ll be one of the common people of Qiantang River, dead beyond dead!”

“If I don’t resign myself to fate, what should I do? Should I really go all out with them?”

The girl sobbed and pounded the table.

“I’m afraid of death, I don’t want to die, and I certainly don’t want to be hypnotized and brainwashed, my personality reconstructed!”

“I hate it so much. I hate everyone in this world. I hate that I’ve transmigrated into a female pet with no human rights, and I also hate myself. Why can’t I muster up the courage to go all out with them!”

“At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary commoner. I can’t resist anything!”

Qin Liang didn’t answer, but gently pried open her trembling hands and wiped her hot cheeks with a tissue, also wiping away the tear stains mixed with alcohol.

Tang Yunle sat rigidly, her head lowered, biting her pale lower lip, her sobs intermittent.

She couldn’t resist anything.

Her resistance was considered disobedience; her thoughts of equal rights were considered heresy; her disapproval of the female pet culture was considered out of step with the mainstream, maverick, and in need of being dealt with.

In this world, she was either ostracized from the mainstream and branded an outsider, and eventually disposed of; or she was assimilated by this world, accepting the female pet culture from the bottom of her heart and becoming a female pet for men to play with.

“I’m sorry.”

A low male voice suddenly came from above her head.

Tang Yunle looked up and met the apologetic and comforting blue eyes.

The warm hand gently rubbed the top of her hair, accompanied by a light sigh. “During this time, I was too focused on finding a way to transmigrate back and ignored your feelings in this sick world.”

“I should have understood that in this absurd world, the difficulties you face are a hundred times greater than mine.”

A sour emotion suddenly welled up in her nose. Tang Yunle’s throat tightened, and her eyes burned. Something seemed to be about to burst out from the bottom of her heart, but she swallowed it back down hard.

She abruptly raised her glass and gave a smile that was both crying and laughing.

“Keep drinking with me.”

Qin Liang nodded and clinked his glass against hers.

Fifteen beer bottles were piled up on the table in a crooked little mountain.

It was the first time he had drunk so much. Qin Liang’s eyes were blurry, and the world was spinning. In the end, he had to secretly switch his beer to a similarly colored Jiaduobao.

As for Tang Yunle, she was as drunk as a skunk, hugging a beer bottle and talking nonsense.

“Haha, Ah Liang, look, there are so many eyes in the sky. They’re blinking, as if they’re looking at us!”

“Hiccup! This is good wine! But Ah Liang, why does your wine look more and more like Jiaduobao?”

“Good wine, good wine. Another case, on my sugar daddy’s tab!”

The drunken girl pointed unsteadily at the young man across the table, then hiccupped again and shouted, shaking the beer bottle, which made Qin Liang very sure that his good brother was now completely drunk.

“By the way, Qin Liang, what do you think of that girlfriend of yours?” Tang Yunle suddenly let out a loud hiccup, her drunken eyes narrowing into two crescent moons as she stared at Qin Liang with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“Black stockings, JK uniform, long legs. It really hits my kinks,” Qin Liang said concisely.

“Have you been in contact with her recently?”

“No. In this parallel world where female pet culture is prevalent, I don’t even know how to view her, or whether the her in this world even counts as my girlfriend.”

“Yoho! A pure love warrior!”

The drunken girl laughed so hard she slammed the table, her thigh making a “thump, thump” sound. She suddenly lowered her voice and winked slyly, as if she were hiding a great secret.

“To be honest, I’m ‘graduating’ in a few days. I might as well tell you that actually, I have a special relationship with that girlfriend of yours.”

She beckoned to Qin Liang with her finger, signaling him to come closer. Seeing that the young man just raised his eyebrows and sat there, showing no intention of cooperating, Tang Yunle suddenly got drunk and stumbled over, grabbing his ear and bringing her mouth close to it. “Actually, that beautiful girl of yours with the black stockings and JK uniform is…”

The next second, the young man’s pupils constricted!

“Tang Yunle, you!”
