Chapter 254 Flirting
Chapter 254 Flirting
Yu Yuetong buried her face in his chest: "Because I'm afraid of losing you."
"Hahahaha!" Qin Yu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into wild laughter. "How touching! What a pity..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled a small knife from his boot and lunged at Ji Momo. Ji Momo couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground, dropping the gun from her hand.
"You all have to die!" Qin Yu raised his knife.
At this critical moment, a deafening gunshot echoed through the storage room.
Qin Yu froze, and the knife clattered to the ground. He slowly turned his head and saw Qin Reng holding the gun that had fallen to the ground, smoke still rising from the muzzle.
"You..." Qin Yu's eyes widened, "You really..."
He collapsed heavily before he could finish speaking. Blood seeped from his back and spread across the ground.
In the distance came the sound of sirens and hurried footsteps. The door to the storage room was kicked open, and heavily armed SWAT officers rushed in.
"Don't even move!"
Yu Yuetong gripped Qin Reng's hand tightly. In the blinding flashing of the police lights, she saw that Qin Reng's face was as pale as paper, and his hand was still trembling slightly.
She knew that although Qin Yu was a bastard, he was still her cousin whom she had grown up with. Firing that shot must have been incredibly difficult for Qin Reng.
“It’s alright,” she said softly. “It’s all over.”
Qin Reng put down his gun and hugged her even tighter. Amid the commotion of police and paramedics, he whispered, "I'm sorry you got hurt."
Yu Yuetong shook her head: "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
"No," Qin Reng's voice was soft, but unusually firm, "From now on, I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Yu Yuetong leaned against the ambulance, letting the medical staff treat the wound on her shoulder. Qin Reng sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her, as if she would disappear the moment he looked away.
"Hiss—" Yu Yuetong couldn't help but gasp. The doctor was disinfecting her wound, and the iodine was stinging and burning.
Qin Reng immediately grabbed her hand: "Does it hurt a lot?"
"It's alright," Yu Yuetong forced a smile, "it's just a little numb."
Qin Reng's fingers tightened. He looked down at Yu Yuetong's pale face, his heart aching. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been injured like this.
"I'm sorry," he said again.
Yu Yuetong rolled her eyes: "If you apologize again, I'll get angry."
"But--"
“No buts,” Yu Yuetong interrupted him. “We’re husband and wife, isn’t it normal for us to protect each other?”
Qin Reng was taken aback. The word "husband and wife" warmed his heart, but then he remembered something, and his expression turned somewhat ugly: "Didn't you say you wanted a divorce?"
Yu Yuetong guiltily looked away: "Um... can you pretend I didn't say that?"
"No." Qin Reng said coldly.
Yu Yuetong bit her lip. She knew Qin Reng was just being stubborn with her, but she was too weak to argue with him.
"Then what do you want?" she asked weakly.
Qin Reng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Propose again."
"Huh?" Yu Yuetong thought she had misheard.
“I said,” Qin Reng repeated, word by word, “I want to propose to you again. Not because of Grandma’s arrangement, not because of family interests, but simply because I love you.”
Yu Yuetong's eyes widened. She never imagined that Qin Reng, this usually aloof man, would say such a thing.
"You... were you stunned by Qin Yu's beating?" she stammered.
Qin Reng's face darkened even more: "Yu Yuetong, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"No, no," Yu Yuetong quickly waved her hand, which aggravated her wound, making her wince in pain. "I just... I just can't believe it."
Qin Reng sighed and gently stroked her cheek: "Silly girl, we've already swapped bodies, what else is there to be skeptical about?"
Yu Yuetong was stunned. Yes, they had not only been husband and wife, but had also swapped bodies and gone through so many life-or-death situations together. Was there any closer relationship in the world than theirs?
"So," Qin Reng's voice was low and gentle, "marry me, okay?"
Yu Yuetong's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She recalled the confusion and helplessness she felt when she transmigrated, the awkwardness when they switched bodies, and all the little things that had happened during this time. She realized that, without even realizing it, she had already become unable to leave this man.
“Okay,” she whispered, “I’ll marry you.”
Qin Reng's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something when he suddenly felt dizzy. Yu Yuetong also showed a look of horror.
This feeling……
"No way..." Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Reng in despair, "We have to change again?"
Before Qin Reng could speak, everything went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was lying on a hospital bed. And in the spot where he had been sitting, a tall figure was now standing—it was his own body.
"Damn it!" Yu Yuetong looked at herself and transformed into Qin Reng again, and angrily punched the bed railing.
The doctor was startled by the sudden commotion, and his hand trembled, almost dropping the iodine bottle on the ground.
"Mr. Qin, please calm down," the doctor said cautiously.
Yu Yuetong then realized that she was now "President Qin" and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was just too worried about her."
Qin Reng lay on the hospital bed, watching Yu Yuetong clumsily imitate him. He couldn't help but want to laugh, but the movement aggravated his shoulder injury, causing him to gasp in pain.
"What are you laughing at?" Yu Yuetong glared at him, but paired with Qin Reng's cold face, it looked rather comical.
"It's nothing," Qin Reng said, suppressing a laugh. "I just feel that this is probably God's wedding gift to us."
Yu Yuetong was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. Yes, they first swapped bodies on their wedding night, and now they were starting over, and they had swapped bodies again.
“Then you’ll have to heal your injury before you switch back,” Yu Yuetong said deliberately with a stern face, “otherwise I won’t agree.”
“Yes, madam,” Qin Reng said with a smile, but quickly frowned. “No, I should call you ‘husband’ now.”
"You!" Yu Yuetong was so angry that her face turned red. She raised her hand to hit him, but when she saw the wound on his shoulder, she stopped herself.
The doctor watched the "couple" flirting and teasing each other, completely baffled. How did Mr. Qin, who had been so serious just moments before, suddenly become so lively? And Mrs. Qin, who seemed so delicate, spoke as if she were a completely different person.
"Alright, the wound has been treated," the doctor cleared his throat, "but I still recommend staying in the hospital for observation for a few days."
Yu Yuetong nodded: "I'll go and complete the hospital admission procedures."
“No need,” Qin Reng said, taking her hand. “Just have my assistant handle it. You stay here with me.”
Yu Yuetong looked at his coquettish manner and was both annoyed and amused: "You are my body now, be more reserved."
