My Girlfriend’s a Monster

The surveillance footage lasted only a few minutes, and Zhu Yiming quickly finished watching it. Thankfully, nothing serious happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief, exclaiming, “Man, you’re really something.”

However, after he spoke, there was no response from beside him. Zhu Yiming found it odd and glanced at Zhong Qingxiao, whose face was frozen in a stiff expression.

“…What’s wrong?” Zhu Yiming asked, puzzled. “You came to see me for something, right?”

“I… I don’t have anything,” Zhong Qingxiao replied, his voice hollow. He couldn’t bring himself to tell anyone, couldn’t open up to anyone… Did Aunt Luo know? Did she know her daughter was watching coldly from a distance?

For so many years, did she know her daughter was like this?

“Sorry for bothering you. Take care,” Zhong Qingxiao said, his face pale as he left. His mind was filled with the scene he had just witnessed-Luo Ke standing at a distance, casually leaning against the wall, watching the events unfold without taking any action.

His mind was blank, unable to shake off the image. He didn’t ask for much… He didn’t expect Luo Ke to fall in love with him so quickly; he was willing to slowly build a connection with her. But the prerequisite was… that Luo Ke truly possessed emotions.

If she could be indifferent to the life and death of the mother who raised her for ten years, why would she care about him?

Zhong Qingxiao’s eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow. He realized the imbalance in their relationship meant that he had discovered something, yet he couldn’t even confront his girlfriend. He didn’t know how to start the conversation, nor did he know if doing so would lead to a disastrous outcome.

What if he angered her, and she decided to destroy their home?

Zhong Qingxiao couldn’t afford any consequences. He didn’t even have the right to be angry because their lives were entirely in Luo Ke’s hands.

There was no possibility of resistance; Luo Ke was different from the monsters that could be killed. She couldn’t be killed; she was stronger, like… the ruler of monsters.

Ten years… A thought he dared not delve into surfaced in Zhong Qingxiao’s mind. Could the catastrophe that humanity faced be related to Luo Ke?

Was the invasion of monsters brought about by her?

Those monsters seemed to fear her greatly-the cook feared her, Huo Sisi feared her, and the terrifying monster in the hospital was like an ant before her…

She seemed like the king in the law of the jungle. Was this disaster brought about by her?

“Zhong Qingxiao.”

Luo Ke’s voice suddenly interrupted, causing Zhong Qingxiao to tremble. He looked up, his pupils still showing undisguised fear. Luo Ke was all too familiar with this expression.

She knew it well; when Zhong Qingxiao first learned she was a monster, he looked at her with this expression.

When he looked at those low-level, disgusting monsters, he had this expression.

What happened? Half an hour ago, he was still wrapping her hands, helping her wash them. What happened in between? Where did he go? Whom did he meet?

Luo Ke’s eyes deepened; had she been too trusting of her dear wife, letting him wander among so many people? He seemed quite disobedient, completely unstable. Why? Why did his gaze change again?

Luo Ke didn’t understand.

“Where did you go?” Luo Ke asked, her voice icy. Despite the summer heat, Zhong Qingxiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

“I… I just went out for a walk,” Zhong Qingxiao replied.

Lying.

Luo Ke’s gaze flickered with a hint of violence. Zhong Qingxiao lied to her, and his lying skills were truly poor, easily seen through.

“And whom did you see?” Luo Ke smiled as she approached, reaching out with her slender fingers to touch him, to caress him.

She indeed touched him, but the body beneath her fingertips trembled lightly, stiffening. Every reaction told Luo Ke he was rejecting her.

Luo Ke ground her teeth slightly, not getting angry, just waiting for Zhong Qingxiao’s answer.

“Xiao Ke, I just went out for some air… and chatted with Zhu Yiming for a bit.”

“Really? What did you talk about?” Luo Ke pursued, unwilling to let go without knowing everything.

“I told him… about what happened in the dorm earlier,” Zhong Qingxiao said, his expression tense. Luo Ke drew closer, resting her chin on his chest as usual, feeling his heart racing.

“I see.” Luo Ke probed deeper, observing Zhong Qingxiao’s expression. He didn’t seem to be lying, so why did the earlier incident make Zhong Qingxiao look at her with fear again?

As if to verify something, Luo Ke reached out, tracing along Zhong Qingxiao’s waistline, moving her hand inside his clothes, inch by inch.

The body beneath her hand tensed up, a reaction he always had when she touched him. But usually, Zhong Qingxiao would gradually relax, yet today he didn’t; he remained tense.

“No, Xiao Ke, we’re outside,” Zhong Qingxiao reached out to stop her hand, but before he could, his girlfriend withdrew her hand.

“You go home first,” Luo Ke said with a smile. “I have something to discuss with Bai Lan; I’ll be back soon.”

Zhong Qingxiao felt relieved, thinking Luo Ke might insist on mating right there.

He worried she might change her mind and hurriedly left.

He walked away quickly, not looking back even once. Luo Ke watched his back, no longer worried she’d go looking for Zhao Xucheng?

What happened just now? Luo Ke had to find out.

She watched Zhong Qingxiao leave, watched him close the door to Room 1801, and waited until there was no more movement from there before she pushed open the door to Room 1802.

“Hey!?” Zhu Yiming was startled by someone entering. Had he forgotten to close the door properly? He was a bit confused, but he remembered he had the habit of closing the door.

“Oh, it’s you.” Zhu Yiming tensed up when he saw Luo Ke, wondering why one left and the other came.

“What did Zhong Qingxiao do with you just now?” Luo Ke got straight to the point, a bit rude, but she was in no mood to care about such things.

“Huh?” Zhu Yiming’s face changed slightly, hastily explaining, “Nothing! We didn’t do anything!”

Perhaps due to his shut-in instincts, Zhu Yiming had long felt Luo Ke’s possessiveness towards Zhong Qingxiao was very strong, and he quickly explained to clear himself of suspicion.

Luo Ke pursed her lips, her mouth curling into a standard smile. “It’s like this, I think his face looked a bit off, probably worried about something. I want to understand his thoughts.”

“Oh…” Zhu Yiming realized, “We just talked about those people from Baoliyuan, watched some surveillance footage. He might be worried about how to get rid of them. That’s all.”

Baoliyuan? But what does the Baoliyuan incident have to do with her?

“Can I see the surveillance footage?” Luo Ke asked, already moving closer, leaving Zhu Yiming no room to refuse.

Zhu Yiming had no choice but to open the surveillance footage again. His eyes didn’t know where to look, forced to watch the video again.

Nothing seemed wrong… Luo Ke squinted, observing, then noticed a corner easily overlooked.

Ah, she understood.

He knew. Dear wife, he knew she had been watching indifferently.

So? Just because of this, Zhong Qingxiao didn’t want to play the love game with her anymore?

“Thank you,” Luo Ke said politely, making Zhu Yiming feel both eerie and somewhat fitting.

To be fair, their relationship seemed really good. Ah, Luo Ke was completely his ideal type. Indeed, such a level of beauty would pair with a handsome guy.

“Take care, take care.” Zhu Yiming saw Luo Ke off, remembering to close and lock the door this time.

Luo Ke stood in the hallway, contemplating.

She didn’t want to return to the previous mating state. At that time, Zhong Qingxiao would only tense up, wouldn’t call her name hoarsely, wouldn’t hold her, wouldn’t kiss her, wouldn’t open himself to her even when exhausted…

Now, Zhong Qingxiao always gave Luo Ke a subtle sense of sacrifice, which she loved dearly.

She had to find a way to cover up this matter.

Mrs. Luo Meihua… Luo Meihua, the problem must lie with her.

At that time, Zhong Qingxiao asked her, and she lied. Did he think she was too cruel for not intervening?

Is that why he feared her again? It sounds reasonable.

This situation must change, it must change…

Luo Ke’s eyes darkened completely, filled with a murderous aura, as she walked step by step towards the men’s dormitory in Building B.

“Ge Hailong, come out.” She stood at the dormitory entrance, her tone commanding.

“Ah, little beauty?” Zhao Xucheng was surprised, eagerly wanting to approach, but noticed Luo Ke’s gaze was particularly gloomy.

She was looking for Ge Hailong? Zhao Xucheng’s eyes shifted, understanding the situation.

Ge Hailong was already tied up. Yan Cheng was stunned by Luo Ke’s demeanor, kicking Ge Hailong before asking, “What do you want with him?”

Luo Ke pointed at Ge Hailong, “Give him to me.”

“Wait, miss, listen to me…” Yan Cheng’s words were stiff, sensing Luo Ke’s hostility, but what could a girl do to Ge Hailong? The situation was under control, no one was hurt, so why not peacefully get through the night and send them away in the morning?

Luo Ke ignored him, impatiently glancing up, her icy gaze leaving Yan Cheng speechless.

Damn it, if it weren’t for this person causing trouble, she’d already be in bed with her dear wife…

Troublesome, troublesome people should be dealt with.

Luo Ke walked into the dormitory, grabbing Ge Hailong’s collar and dragging him out.

Yan Cheng hesitated, seeing Luo Ke actually dragging a man, feeling incredulous. This girl was quite strong.

“What are you doing? Your mom’s not dead, what do you want?” Ge Hailong was tied up, feeling inexplicably uneasy. This woman seemed creepy; she wouldn’t kill him, right?

Luo Ke ignored him, dragging him upstairs.

“This is bad.” Yan Cheng pulled out a knife from his pocket and followed, quickly instructing Zhao Xucheng, “Go to Room 1801 and call Zhong Qingxiao.”

Zhao Xucheng responded but didn’t move.

Interesting, really interesting, little beauty.
