You’re being so proactive, it’s hard not to suspect you’re doing a fishing enforcement operation.
Fang Wei was afraid that if he really strangled her, Qi Qian Cao would suddenly turn hostile, shouting that all evil must be judged by law! Then Spirit Release him on the spot.
He had no idea what this woman was up to, but he wasn’t stupid.
If he couldn’t win, at least he could run.
He retreated step by step, never turning his back to the enemy.
Fang Wei quickly entered the cafeteria, picked up two side dishes at the window, and started eating by himself.
Qi Qian Cao followed closely behind, still holding that half-finished can of Monster in her hand.
She sat down across from Fang Wei, her smile still sweet, yet seemingly impatient.
Fang Wei had observed her for two days, and his first impression of her was completely that of the Mascot among classmates—a beloved little auspicious beast.
But now, the person in front of him, with her ai-mu tendencies and feigned frailty, had nothing in common with a little auspicious beast.
No, she didn’t even resemble a magical girl.
There was no sense of justice or kindness in her—her eyes were full of the desire to strangle.
Fang Wei chose to ignore her, but Qi Qian Cao seemed especially happy to see him, her chest rising and falling slightly with her breath, caught between excitement and agitation.
“What’s wrong, Marshal? Not planning to keep your promise?”
She spoke with no sense of boundaries.
“You were so shamelessly bold yesterday.”
Fang Wei felt a bit of Nianhan.
How could it be the same? Yesterday he was wearing a Majia.
It was just a bit of chuunibyou—who knew there would be Offline Doxxing?
In some novels, this kind of plot—discovering the other’s identity—could be dragged out until after chapter two hundred.
“Miss Magical Girl, if you want to fight, I’m always ready to accompany you.”
He picked up a soft, sticky piece of potato, not hiding the vigilance in his eyes.
But right after he spoke, Qi Qian Cao suddenly burst out laughing.
“Don’t misunderstand, I was just joking with Marshal. We’re all adults—fighting and killing is so boring. Besides, I’m not at the age for chuunibyou anymore.”
“Honestly, even Transforming into a magical girl feels embarrassing.”
It was as if she had opened a chatterbox, speaking to herself.
“At first, becoming a magical girl just felt novel, but later I realized it was a Lifelong Tenure. I couldn’t help it, so I could only find some fun in the profession.”
“So fighting back and forth with pigeon monsters is your kind of fun?”
“So smart! Reward for Marshal—a Red Flower!”
Qi Qian Cao pointed her small finger in the air.
With her lively and cheerful, mischievous look, it was no wonder she was so popular in the class.
For normal boys, just chatting with her a bit more might make them start imagining she liked them.
But…
The Corruption Value above Qi Qian Cao’s head was fluctuating around 67%, with a faint upward trend.
“But.”
Qi Qian Cao’s tone suddenly became serious.
“Marshal killed my previous source of fun.”
Fang Wei wanted to say, wasn’t it you who killed the pigeon monster yourself?
But seeing that hypertension-level Corruption Value, he swallowed his words.
“Miss Magical Girl, do you want me to be a monster with you too?”
“Not that far.”
Qi Qian Cao smiled.
Then she dropped a bombshell.
“I kept the monster because I knew, when I was in danger, someone would come to protect me.”
She suddenly smiled without warning, her brows lowering, the corners of her mouth lifting uncontrollably—a twisted slyness in her eyes.
“So Marshal appeared like a Hero~”
“And used such a confessional way…”
“I knew it. My destined love would fall from the sky.”
“You were peeking at me since yesterday, right? Such a fateful encounter… We really fell in love at first sight, didn’t we…”
She started breathing heavily in no particular rhythm.
“Although, although I don’t know much about Marshal yet, since we love each other, we can start as boyfriend and girlfriend…”
“Wait! That’s a lot of information!”
Fang Wei’s head buzzed, completely unable to keep up with Qi Qian Cao’s self-righteous train of thought.
But he still looked around immediately.
Fortunately, the corner of the cafeteria was remote, but there were cameras.
He didn’t want to be bailed out of the police station by Si Chen for sexual harassment.
Qi Qian Cao’s words were really scary, giving off the feeling she’d refine him into a Spirit Release Pill.
“Marshal doesn’t need to worry. If I really had bad intentions toward you, I’d have taken you out yesterday.”
That was an outright threat.
Fang Wei subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Who would believe a Justice Hero from an enemy camp would want to date you on the first meeting?
It’s not like it’s a doujin plot.
Just because his modeling skills were good?
No, seeing that Corruption Value, he should have known long ago that Qi Qian Cao wasn’t normal!
“Miss Magical Girl, there must be no shortage of people who fall in love with you at first sight.”
He tried to deflect.
Qi Qian Cao grinned weirdly.
“Because Marshal is the first Marshal I’ve ever met.”
“There are plenty of rich men and many handsome boys. They all feel similar to me.”
“After entering university, I always felt I’d encounter a love that truly belonged to me. I don’t like people with a high degree of repetition.”
“And Marshal just happened to descend from the sky, reaching out to me…”
You don’t mention anything about the strangling part…
Now it was certain.
This woman definitely had mental issues.
She probably didn’t step onto the front lines to defeat monsters, but was full of ‘hurry up and let a Hero save me so I can have a romantic relationship!’
Too oppressive.
Girl, what kind of sacrificial love is there in youthful romance?
Before dating, it’s freshness.
After dating, it’s passion.
When the tide recedes, it’s just a pile of messy junk left behind.
That’s fast-food love in the modern world.
But she didn’t think that way at all, more like a little delinquent desperate enough to run to the campus wall to confess, with tattooed wrists and a twisted smile—truly fitting the stereotype of a landmine girl.
This way of throwing herself at him—Fang Wei even wondered if the cafeteria dishes were illusion meals, making him hallucinate.
Aren’t all those Turtles under your command at your beck and call?
Oh, the Turtles are too repetitive.
Poor Turtles.
After stating her purpose all at once, Qi Qian Cao looked at him with anticipation, her breath heavy, the drink can in her hand deformed.
“I think I get what you mean, but with our identities, is this really okay?”
Fang Wei stretched his neck, trying to take the initiative in the negotiation.
The process was a bit weird, but if he could use this to figure out why Qi Qian Cao’s Corruption Value was so high, maybe it wouldn’t be impossible?
But if you want to talk about elephants with me, at the very least, you have to be a beautiful girl with a constitution suitable for Chinese babies.
You can’t get together with me and only then tell me you’re a 2D+girl love+Cosplay+otome gamer+Weibo user+Xiaohongshu user+Douban user+idol chaser+travel lover+preparing for Kaogong, right?
“Why wouldn’t it be okay?”
Qi Qian Cao raised her head, thinking seriously.
“After we get together, if Marshal wants to do bad things, I won’t stop you, nor will I kill you like I did with the monsters.”
Well, thank you so much for that.
A corrupt Magical Girl—this was a first for him.
Fang Wei’s original goal was to get close to Qi Qian Cao.
If she really didn’t have hostility towards him, maybe healing her would be even easier.
His optimistic side took over.
He pretended to hesitate.
“Well, let me think about it.”
“Really?”
Qi Qian Cao’s reaction made it seem as if Fang Wei had already agreed.
Her shoulders trembled, the corners of her mouth curved like a Nike swoosh, and her right hand instinctively grabbed her left, leaving red marks on the pale skin.
Crunch!
The Monster can in her hand was completely crushed, with half the energy drink splashing out from the opening.
Luckily, it didn’t spill on them, but the sudden, hyperthyroid action startled Fang Wei.
Qi Qian Cao’s small, pink-white hands were covered in sticky liquid.
She seemed to snap back to reality.
“Sorry! When I’m happy, I get like this, but I’m definitely not this violent usually.”
She hurriedly apologized, rummaging through her small bag for tissues, but only managed to spread the liquid even more.
Realizing she’d made a mess, Qi Qian Cao stared blankly at her sticky little hand.
Suddenly, she started gagging violently, clutching her wrist tightly, her body almost curling up into a ball.
Her black-framed glasses slipped down her nose from the shaking.
The emergency reaction was so severe that Fang Wei was startled, wondering whether he should call an ambulance to prevent a million-yuan mishap.
His mind raced as his finger quickly pressed the dial button.
A voice sounded from the receiver, but Fang Wei’s attention was immediately caught by a line of fluctuating numbers.
[Corruption Value -3]
[Corruption Value -3]
[Corruption Value: 62%]
He felt like a sailor discovering a new continent.
