Chapter 129: A Trip Back Home

Tang Yunle’s brows furrowed. She looked at Tang Yunke. “Yunke, isn’t there any other way to let Ah Liang live?”

Tang Yunke pursed her lips and was just about to speak when Qin Liang gently patted the back of Tang Yunle’s hand.

“Alright, alright. I just successfully confessed today. Don’t think about these sad things,” she held her hand tightly, their ten fingers intertwined. When their eyes met, only an inerasable gentleness remained. “Think on the bright side. I’m a person who has been pulled back from the gates of hell. At least I still have ten years.”

“In these ten years, we can do many things. Graduate together, travel together, and plan our little home together… these days will all be good.”

Tang Yunle looked at his determined eyes, buried her head, and plunged into the young man’s arms, saying in a muffled voice, “I will never let you die. No matter what method, I promise.”

“You said you would always be with me.”

Tang Yunke, who was on the side, looked at their warm appearance, suddenly pouted, and snorted in annoyance. “Alright, alright. Don’t act out a sad drama in front of me.”

“And you don’t have to be so pessimistic. As the old saying goes, the way of heaven is fifty, and forty-nine are derived. One is the variable.”

“In these three years, I may not be able to find a way to crack it.”

“Really?” Tang Yunle looked up in surprise.

Tang Yunke patted her chest and raised her chin slightly. “Of course it’s possible! Who am I? A creature kneaded from a divine pen.”

“In these ten years, I’ll have to dig three feet into the ground to find that ‘escaped one’. Besides, the divine pen itself has the ability to make whatever you wish for come true. Maybe a miracle will come one day, and we can bypass this so-called ‘predestined death’.”

Hearing this, Qin Liang’s heart also relaxed a little.

As a person, if he could not die, he naturally did not want to die.

He tightened his arms and held the two people in his arms even tighter, his nose brushing against the soft top of their hair. “To have met you two sisters is the blessing of my life.”

Tang Yunle’s cheeks were pressed against his chest. Hearing his powerful heartbeat, her ears turned slightly red, and she reached out and gently pounded him. “Who made you, as soon as you got me, say that you would be with me for the rest of your life… If you dare to go back on your word, I won’t let you off.”

Her words were tinged with a coquettish anger, but her voice was as soft as a marshmallow.

Tang Yunke was squeezed by him and coughed lightly twice. She reached out and pushed his arm away, and chose, “No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, just give me more money.”

“I don’t like anything. I just like money. I’m a pure and vulgar person.”

“Give, give, give. My money is all yours.”

“You also have to take good care of my sister. You can’t be two-faced, and you can’t have a change of heart. You certainly can’t have a harem just because you’re rich and powerful.”

“I promise.”

“And one last thing…”

“Say it.”

“Can you let go of your f*cking hand? You can hug my sister, but why are you hugging me! You kid, do you want to have a sister-in-law’s threesome! To soothe my wounded heart, you’d better give me some money!”

The setting sun shone in through the window, plating the three of them with a layer of warm gold.

Tang Yunle looked at her sister, who was counting money with a puffed-up face, and then at the person beside her, whose eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile. She suddenly felt that if the rest of her life could be like this, then her life would be pretty good.

Friday.

Near Nanchang Education College, a certain subway station.

“Do you really not need me to take you home?”

“No need. My parents suddenly called me home this time. Although I don’t know what they want from me, I’ll still go back.”

“I can go back with you and meet your family in this world.”

“No need. After going through so much with you, and with you loving me, I don’t need them anymore. Maybe one day I’ll just cut ties with them.”

Tang Yunle was carrying a small canvas bag. Her gaze swept over the two people who had come to see her off. She suddenly stood on her tiptoes and planted a light kiss on Qin Liang’s lips.

Qin Liang was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, Tang Yunle had already turned to Tang Yunke and quickly kissed her on the cheek as well.

“Hey?!” Tang Yunke’s eyes widened in an instant. She fumbled to cover her face, her whole person as if she had been put on pause, so bewildered that even her eyebrows were knitted into a knot.

“Qin Ah Liang, it’s because I like him.” Tang Yunle’s eyebrows curved into a smile, and she reached out to pinch Tang Yunke’s hot cheeks. “And as for kissing you, since my sister Yunke is so pretty.”

As she spoke, she even playfully raised her hand and pinched her own cheek, her fingertips poking two shallow dimples. “See, I’m also a girl, and I’m also very pretty!”

As soon as her words fell, the subway station’s announcement sounded.

Tang Yunle waved at the two of them, turned, and merged into the crowd that was surging towards the platform, her back as light as a bird that was about to spread its wings and fly.

If one were to look closer, they would find that the girl was not wearing the black stockings that she usually wore to hide her identity, but a simple short skirt.

Qin Liang stood on the spot, raised his hand, and touched his lips, a slight smile on them. He saw it. He saw a little bird that was flying towards the freedom it longed for in its heart, no longer bound by the world.

Such a Tang Yunle… was extremely beautiful.

Thinking this, his arm was suddenly poked. Tang Yunle looked in the direction of the crowd and muttered, “Brother-in-law, my sister has been completely feminized.”

“I can see that.”

“When are you two planning to get married?”

“We haven’t thought about it.”

“Are you planning to have children?”

“No plans.”

“But…” Qin Liang’s words changed. He suddenly leaned down, reached out, and pinched the beautiful girl in white stockings’ pink and tender cheek, and said with a radiant smile, “When we get married, you’ll be the bridesmaid.”

After a few subway stops and another taxi ride, Tang Yunle arrived at a cheap rental building.

Unlike the female pet world, in this world, a gambling father, a cheating mother, a cowardly younger brother, and a sister who was obsessed with Xiaohongshu had turned the whole family into a mess. They were also heavily in debt and could only squeeze into a small rental unit.

This time, Tang Yunle had come home purely because of the little bit of affection left in her heart.

If her parents were to ask her for money like they had before, she would immediately turn around and leave.

She was no longer the Tang Yunle of the past—the boy who had worked hard to earn money and longed for his family’s love.

She was still Tang Yunle now, but she was a girl. A girl with a rich second-generation man, who was also her husband without a marriage certificate, and a quirky little devil sister!

She took out a box of foundation from her canvas bag and applied it to her face. This was a gift from Qin Liang, and it was considered an upgraded version of her black stockings.

Wearing black stockings could disguise her as a man, but with a light wipe of this foundation on her face, no one could tell her gender.

Even her former acquaintances, her former family, and her former good friends would not be surprised that she had gone from a man to a woman. They would only think it was reasonable.

The door of the rental unit was ajar. Tang Yunle pushed it open. The damp and musty smell of the rental unit still lingered at the tip of her nose. Her vision suddenly went black, and a dull pain came from the back of her head, as if something hard had smashed into it.

Her body went limp, and she stumbled forward. The specks of light in her vision shattered, and her ears buzzed.

“This kid is finally back!” it was her father’s hoarse voice, tinged with the smell of smoke, and a hint of an impatient excitement.

“Quick, quick, tie him up! Mr. Li is still waiting!” a sharp female voice interjected. It was her mother, with not a trace of worry in her tone, only calculation.

“Dad, is this… really okay?” her brother’s timid voice sounded, but there was not a hint of a stop in it. It was more like a futile self-consolation.

“What’s not okay!” Tang’s father spat. “We’re solving this kid’s marriage problem early. How rich is Mr. Li’s family? Marrying into their family is a life of luxury!”

“But… but isn’t Mr. Li’s daughter… mentally challenged?”

“So what? As long as he has money! When this is done, Mr. Li has promised to help us pay off our debts. The rest of the money is enough for us to get a big house!”

“That’s right, second brother. If our brother marries in, our family will get 500,000,” her sister said.

The pain in the back of her head grew more and more intense. Tang Yunle’s consciousness was as if it were being swept down by a tide.

She wanted to raise her hand to touch her wound, but she found that her arm was being held tightly. The rough rope was so tight around her wrist that it hurt.

So they hadn’t called her back for a reunion. They had treated her as a bargaining chip to pay off their debts.

She wanted to laugh at herself, but she didn’t even have the strength to move the corners of her mouth.

These so-called family members really would never “disappoint” her.

Before the darkness completely swallowed her consciousness, Qin Liang’s face flashed in her mind, and Tang Yunle’s puffed-up face.

Just you wait.

She was Tang Yunle now, a Tang Yunle who was loved and protected by someone.
