Chapter 3271: How Do I Escape This Situation?
To kill a lover—on one side was love, on the other, righteousness.
If he wasn’t stopped, who knows how long the killing would go on?
And Mei Ziqing’s lover seemed to have also already lost his mind.
From a gentle person, he had turned into a madman.
“What would you do?” Mei Ziqing looked up at Ning Shu, who was sitting in the tree.
“Just tell me—what should I do? How do I escape this situation?”
Ning Shu: →_→
“What kind of question is that? You two are the ones in love; it’s your business. Now there’s a problem and you’re coming to ask me? When you two were all lovey-dovey, I wasn’t included, was I?”
Ning Shu’s words were a bit sharp. Mei Ziqing sighed. “Sorry. I know you’re upset.”
“Yeah, very upset.”Ning Shu said bluntly, “As soon as signs showed up, you should’ve shut it down. Dragging it out this long is what led to this mess.”
“Are you worried that if you report it, the higher-ups will punish your boyfriend, and you’re afraid he’ll treat you badly?”
“If it’s true love, you should have the courage to bear your man’s resentment.” Ning Shu sighed. “I know these things are hard to do. I haven’t been through something like this myself, so it’s not really my place to say.”
Ning Shu lay back on the tree branch, not wanting to talk to Mei Ziqing anymore.
Love was full of knots. You couldn’t cut it, couldn’t untangle it, so it was endlessly complicated.
The next morning, Ning Shu said to Mei Ziqing, “Let’s part ways here. I’m not going with you.”
Mei Ziqing pressed her lips together and said, “Ning Shu, I’m sorry. I handled this badly.”
Ning Shu waved her hand. “It’s fine. But relationships are between two people. Your boyfriend’s killed so many—he has too much negative karma. There’s no good ending to that.”
Mei Ziqing said, “It’s my fault. From the moment the signs showed, I should’ve done what I must. Then things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Mei Ziqing smiled at Ning Shu, took some dry rations from the tent, handed them to Crossbow Lar, and said to Ning Shu, “I’ve thought it through. I never should’ve dragged you into this in the first place.”
Crossbow Lar took the bundle, then looked towards Ning Shu.
In any case, wherever his master went, he would go too.
Ning Shu let out a heavy sigh. “I’ll go with you after all. If something really happens, we can watch each other’s backs. But let’s be clear—if anything goes wrong, you have to cover for me so I can escape. Your man definitely won’t be able to bring himself to kill you.”
Mei Ziqing: …
“Then I might as well go alone. You’ll just slow me down.” What use are you?
Crossbow Lar asked Ning Shu, “So are we going or not?”
“Let’s go.” If she managed to stop Mei Ziqing’s boyfriend, she might even get some merit out of it.
Besides, they were already this far along. No way she was turning back now.
Ning Shu really didn’t like this version of Mei Ziqing.
Most troubles were self-inflicted. If they had gotten together out of love, why couldn’t they continue to support each other?
Mei Ziqing patted Ning Shu’s shoulder. “Next time, don’t be so soft-hearted. I know you’re doing this for me.”
“No, I’m doing it for the merit.” Ning Shu’s face was cold.
Mei Ziqing bumped her forehead against Ning Shu’s. “Don’t be too soft in the future. I’m a living example, got it?”
Crossbow Lar, holding the bundle and watching the two of them intimately have their foreheads pressed together: …
What was with this weird atmosphere?
Crossbow Lar was super annoyed. He pulled Ning Shu over and said, “Even though I didn’t understand what you were saying, it sounded like you lied to my master.”
Ning Shu nodded. “Yeah, she lied to me. I’ve been wronged. She tricked me!”
