The other party used a lot of force. Mu Qin couldn’t break free from the enemy’s clutches, but he was different from Han Li. While being choked at the neck by the enemy, he wouldn’t recklessly struggle and waste energy. Therefore, Mu Qin used every ounce of strength to jump up. At the same time, he raised both legs and ferociously kicked the enemy’s abdomen. Being kicked like this by Mu Qin, the enemy had no choice but to release his hold on Mu Qin’s neck and retreat a few steps.
Like this, Mu Qin struggled free from the person’s clutches, and, falling to the ground, he once again clambered up. He didn’t have enough time to think about a direction and directly ran towards the darkness in front of his eyes. MikDYc
Indeed, the dark was unknown, but only the dark could shelter a runaway.
Perhaps in the depths of Mu Qin’s heart he was already faintly aware that he couldn’t escape. Regardless of endurance or strength, Mu Qin completely fell short of the enemy before him that randomly appeared, especially in the situation where the enemy also possessed extraordinary speed.
Thus, before Mu Qin could even run two steps, the person caught up to him. In one move, that person grabbed Mu Qin’s hair and actually used the same move again, kicking the bend of Mu Qin’s knee. Mu Qin was so pained he immediately knelt to the ground. Then, the other person yanked Mu Qin’s hair and once again slammed a fist into his face.
Finally, Mu Qin no longer tried to escape, nor did he continue to resist. He let his body go limp and knelt on the ground with his head lowered, allowing the enemy to continue grabbing his hair. Ons4yx
He knew that continuing any attempts to run at this point was meaningless. The enemy’s close quarters combat power was clearly superior to Mu Qin’s. No matter how much Mu Qin struggled, it would only be a waste of energy. At this time, he must pretend to compromise, causing the enemy to lower his guard until he could find an opening.
From the beginning, Mu Qin was already at a disadvantage, being ambushed without warning as well as receiving heavy injuries. The enemy’s physical fitness was overpowering. He couldn’t beat him, and escaping was unbelievably difficult. It really made Mu Qin incredibly helpless.
Internally thinking about all these random thoughts, with a trembling body, Mu Qin raised his head and looked at the enemy.
Because the surrounding environment was too dark and the corridor lights had been turned off, Mu Qin basically could not clearly make out the person’s face. However, he could speculate that this suddenly appearing enemy was probably that corpse they found in the stairwell at that time, because with the light casting down from the second floor of the apartment building, Mu Qin could indistinctly see gauze covering the enemy’s neck and face. After dying and reviving, this guy probably went to the infirmary, found gauze and bandages, and wrapped up his wounds. 1IcLXP
Only, what puzzled Mu Qin was that, in the brief moment of exchange, he could distinctly sense that this enemy’s attack power was outrageously excellent. Although this person’s physique was not as buff as Xu Fu’s and he was a few points shorter than Xu Fu, but he was still around 1.8 meters tall and he had a good, robust figure. Add on his outstanding close combat skills, there was no reason Xu Fu would have easily killed him.

As a result, the only scenario Mu Qin could guess was that this person threw away his life on purpose. After dying, he revived with a revive card, creating the perfect condition of “not present” for himself.
The alibi could allow him to do many things. He could act alone while investigating the map, scouting for information, and observing the movements of Mu Qin’s group. B3edVl
If things were really like this, then was he the actual killer?
Mu Qin couldn’t be certain. As he thought this, he couldn’t resist raising his head to look at the enemy again, and the enemy seemed to be observing Mu Qin as well. Mu Qin could vaguely sense the other party’s gaze on his body. It was the kind of gaze that gave Mu Qin a bit of the chills.
Mu Qin suddenly felt something was slightly off. He noticed that this person apparently was not going to continue beating him.
He only grasped Mu Qin’s hair with his head lowered, fixing his eyes on Mu Qin. It was like he was examining and observing Mu Qin. He even, after watching Mu Qin for a long time, released his tight grip on Mu Qin’s hair. Then, he moved in towards Mu Qin, reached out, and picked Mu Qin’s whole person up in a hug. df2MpJ
That’s right. He held Mu Qin!
Moreover, it was a princess carry.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
This time, Mu Qin was actually frightened. He was so scared by the other person’s embrace that his whole body released a shiver. Mu Qin subconsciously reached out and grabbed onto the front of the enemy’s clothes. He still couldn’t clearly make out the enemy’s face. Perhaps, even if he could see it clearly, that face covered in gauze and bandages would cause Mu Qin to be unable to distinguish the person’s appearance.
Mu Qin couldn’t figure out the meaning behind this person’s course of action. Typically, something like a princess carry was an extremely ambiguous move. If he wanted to move Mu Qin to another location, he could definitely drag Mu Qin by pulling his arms or legs, instead of… 59R8ki
Mu Qin felt somewhat awkward.
He couldn’t what exactly was making him feel awkward. Only, he thought that this person was holding him too tightly, and Mu Qin’s face was even plastered onto this person’s chest. He could hear the sound of other party’s thumping heartbeat violently resounding next to his ear. In addition, the other party’s heart was beating extremely fast. Mu Qin suspected that perhaps he was a little bit nervous?
But why would he be nervous?
Mu Qin thought that he had become muddled. He was huddled in the embrace of this enemy from who knows where, listening to the sound of the other person’s heart beating. That violent heartbeat indescribably made Mu Qin’s mind dizzy. This also caused Mu Qin to miss a perfect opportunity to escape.  It must be known that the other person holding Mu Qin in a princess carry like this, with both hands supporting Mu Qin’s body, was equivalent to both of his hands being completely restricted. Therefore, Mu Qin could suddenly attack him, jabbing his eyes or smashing his jugular. Both would immediately incapacitate this person. f1b8AC
But Mu Qin didn’t do this. He felt that the heartbeat by his ear was too fierce. It was just like he had heard it before somewhere.
Where in the world had he heard it before?
Soon after, Mu Qin suddenly remembered. He heard it from his first love.
When he was in high school and dating Zhou Yue, they would regularly go out and have fun during the weekends or winter and summer vacation. Zhou Yue’s family had money, and Zhou Yue’s parents also encouraged him to go out and socialize more. Thus, Zhou Yue was very extravagant when he went out to play. He spent money like running water, scattering money out in large handfuls. Mu Qin was the exact opposite of him. PFnpEr
As a result of his adoptive parents passing away, his uncle taking away a large portion of the money, and for his living expenses every month, Mu Qin had to live sparingly. Moreover, he even had to work every week. For him, going out with Zhou Yue was actually a burden, but at the time, Mu Qin held onto his pride, etc. He couldn’t shamelessly allow Zhou Yue to take care of the majority of their expenses when they went out to have fun. In order to not affect the other person’s mood when they hung out, he needed money.
For money, Mu Qin could only work more. So much so that, for some time, every night after self-study Mu Qin would always work night shifts at some midnight snack bars until the wee hours of twelve before finally going home. He had to get up for class in the mornings before six. His complexion became worse and worse, so he was quickly caught by Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue to Mu Qin at the time seemed like an extremely good lover, because the other party was very gentle and considerate. He considered Mu Qin’s needs. Moreover, he was also very intelligent.
He didn’t know where Zhou Yue learned of the reason why Mu Qin worked so frequently, but after he found out, Zhou Yue no longer took Mu Qin to places with high expenses. He only brought Mu Qin to the park to stroll or to the riverside to look at scenery. In addition, he would drive a flashy motorcycle to pick up and drop off Mu Qin when they went out, saving Mu Qin’s transportation costs. 73hnS2
He tried his best to pick times that wouldn’t make things difficult for Mu Qin. For this reason, he figured out Mu Qin’s daily schedule. Therefore, Mu Qin discovered in surprise that Zhou Yue would always appear in front of himself at the perfect time. He would never inconvenience Mu Qin. He would always be that good at understanding others.
Zhou Yue even brought Mu Qin food, saying the food from the school’s cafeteria wasn’t tasty and that there was too much food in the lunch boxes made by his family’s cook auntie. Mu Qin always felt bewildered and embarrassed, but Zhou Yue pretended to be a picky eater, saying this wasn’t tasty or that wasn’t yummy. He always stuffed food into Mu Qin’s bowl, stuffing all of the things Mu Qin liked to eat.
Mu Qin still hadn’t understood in the beginning. After a long time, he learned that a lover was such a wonderful person. He was wonderful to the point that Mu Qin almost didn’t dare to believe. How in the world had Zhou Yue fallen for him?
Mu Qin fumbled through his own strong point. He felt that he was not particularly good looking. Perhaps he could be considered average or slightly above average. Some girls praised that he looked clear and fair, and some guys mocked that he was a pretty boygigolo. bNdilv
Mu Qin was also not very popular. In order to study and to work, Mu Qin didn’t have time to pay attention to the interpersonal relationships with his classmates. He relationship with his teacher was also not very familiar. Most of the time, he was like an invisible person at school. Instead, he was a bit closer with some seniors in the grades above. Of course, there was a purpose behind it.
In order to squeeze out more time to work and earn money, Mu Qin had to compress his studying time and increase his learning efficiency. So, when he was in his first year of high school, he learned most of the coursework for grade two. For the sake of getting the textbooks and information for the upper grades, he specially got closer relationships with upper grade seniors so he could borrow their textbooks and course material.

Good grades were one of the only strong points Mu Qin possessed. Of course, this was because he was compelled by the pressure to survive. As long as he thought of his future and predicaments he would face, even if he wasn’t willing, Mu Qin could only study like his life depended on it.
After this round of self-examination, Mu Qin realized his strong points were pitifully lacking. Average looking, introverted, and also unable to give the other person the same amount of care and consideration as Zhou Yue. Even if his grades were considered good, but he still fell short of Zhou Yue by a margin. He was such an ordinary person that was mediocre in all aspects. Why had Zhou Yue fallen for him? UMT2D7
Mu Qin could never figure this point out. He sometimes thought Zhou Yue might think it was just fun. Dating and being together with a man seemed fresh and exciting.
But if it was really just playing around, then Zhou Yue had invested way too much time and energy in Mu Qin. A long period of meticulous care wasn’t something someone could casually do, but Zhou Yue did it. This let Mu Qin be entirely unable to question his sincerity. Mu Qin could only convince himself that he had been struck by a gift from the heavens.
He was genuinely very happy. He was so happy that Mu Qin wanted to dedicate the only thing he had to Zhou Yue.
The things Mu Qin possessed weren’t many. He only had this body and mind that could be given to Zhou Yue. WHGD m
So, after they dated for a semester, Mu Qin and Zhou Yue rolled in the sheets. He was brought by Zhou Yue to his house to do it. At the time, Zhou Yue said Mu Qin’s grades had dropped a bit, so he wanted to bring Mu Qin home for tutoring. Mu Qin believed him. He cheerfully followed behind Zhou Yue and got on his motorcycle. He was brought by Zhou Yue to his luxurious villa. He was sent by Zhou Yue into his spacious and neat bedroom. Then, he was thus, on that large double bed, done by Zhou Yue for a whole night.
At the time, lubricant and all the other tools were already prepared in Zhou Yue’s bedroom. It was clear that he already harbored ulterior motives and had amply done his homework.
However, Mu Qin didn’t mind. They were all young, hot-blooded youths at the time, and their feelings were at their prime. Sparks flew at the slightest touch. They couldn’t suppress it, and every day they would do it, do it, do it. Afterwards, Zhou Yue brought Mu Qin home many times, but because both of Zhou Yue’s parents were home and there was also a nanny present, it was inconvenient. Eventually, he straightforwardly headed to Mu Qin’s home, even eating and living at Mu Qin’s place. Mu Qin lived by himself, and it made things easier. Zhou Yue could even use the excuse of “living at your place so giving you rent” to give Mu Qin money for the water and electricity bill, to add various furniture and appliances, and to buy a variety of ingredients to stuff Mu Qin’s fridge until it was full.
At the time, their feelings were great. Every night, Mu Qin slept in Zhou Yue’s arms, always falling into dreamland while listening to his heartbeat. AMK9r
Oh, that’s right, that heartbeat… was the same as the one now.
BunnyGod: Sorry guys… updates are supposed to be once a week but this translator is dumb and thought it would be a fun idea to overwhelm herself with summer classes. Before I knew it, it was August and I have less than two weeks before classes start AGAIN. Someone please save me 🙁 So on that note, anyone want to apply to be a co-TL?\n
