Part 2
Xu Jue didn’t reply after that. Duan Ke looked at this line of text and felt it made a lot of sense.
Qin Huai had just cleared up the misunderstanding with him. Of course, he should take the initiative to show something now to make them trust each other more!
Thus making Qin Huai’s fluids taste even more delicious!
Duan Ke reopened the photo, wanting to see what movie Xu Jue had picked.
Just then the bell rang for the end of class. The students nearby clapped and stood up to leave the classroom. Heracles, who had slept through the whole class next to him, leaned over. “Go eat?”
“No thanks, I have a date tonight.” Duan Ke shook his head and held up his phone.
Heracles had excellent eyesight and saw the movie title clearly at a glance.
He raised an eyebrow. “Oh, this one is pretty good. I just went for a second viewing last night.”
“Really?” Duan Ke was pleasantly surprised, shouldering his bag and walking out. “What genre is it? Is it suitable to watch with a friend?”
Heracles blinked his green eyes, thinking. “Hmm… Action, inspirational, very satisfying to watch. I think it’s suitable.”
Xu Jue and Heracles both highly affirmed it; it sounded very reliable.
Duan Ke opened the ticketing app and found there weren’t any other outstanding choices recently, so he sent the movie link to Qin Huai, asking if he wanted to watch it together tonight.
Approaching quitting time, Qin Huai began approving the last batch of documents.
This part was Lin Jiangli’s responsibility: one-on-one monitoring records for monsters Class A and above. After the officers submitted risk assessments, Lin Jiangli had to hand the records to Qin Huai, who would nod for the final lifting of surveillance on the monsters.
Qin Huai flipped through the records on the screen, his movement suddenly pausing. He asked flatly, “Who flagged this for key review?”
“Me. Is there a problem?” Lin Jiangli turned his head, tapping on Xu Jue’s avatar.
“This succubus uses magic very arrogantly, okay? Although no lives were lost, he uses charm magic on humans basically every day, dozens of times a day!”
Lin Jiangli knocked on the desk with one hand. “Ji Qing, who’s in charge of him, thinks it’s not a violation, and argued with me about it yesterday. I think it counts! At least he should restrain himself, right? Otherwise, isn’t he treating the ban as a decoration?”
Qin Huai remained expressionless. “How often do you think counts as restraint?”
Lin Jiangli: “Uh… at least once every half month? At most once a week! Anyway, using it every day is a no-go.”
Qin Huai fell silent, turning to look at Lin Jiangli like he was looking at a fool, even with a hint of pity.
Lin Jiangli: “…What? Your instructions, please?”
Damn, who provoked him again??
“Isn’t it normal for succubi to use charm magic every day?” Qin Huai’s eyes were cold. “Once a week isn’t enough to get full at all. Do you want people to starve to death?”
Qin Huai approved Xu Jue’s file very quickly.
“I think Colonel Lin should consider retaking certain qualification exams.”
“…”
Fine, everyone is workplace bullying the clerical staff, right? Fine.
Let it pass then, since no lives were lost anyway. Lin Jiangli didn’t want to take exams, so he compromised.
But when did Qin Huai become so lenient with monsters?? Lin Jiangli wondered internally. He looked to be in a pretty good mood this morning; why is he suddenly acting up again?
Back at the military academy, Qin Huai used to act up like this often. At that time, he spoke even less than now, often getting himself covered in injuries, wrapped in bloody bandages, with cold eyes, looking like an evil ghost crawled out of hell. It was only after completing the final closed military exercise and graduating that Qin Huai barely changed a bit.
Although still a distance away from a normal person, he could tentatively be considered human.
What’s wrong with him now? What triggered him to start empathizing with monsters?
Although confused, Lin Jiangli didn’t probe deeper. Not long after, he heard the person next to him ask again.
“This Dream Demon, when did it start becoming active? The last two years?”
Lin Jiangli sat casually, twirling his pen. He searched his mind and replied accurately.
“No, this monster was born during that great war over ten years ago. It’s been active ever since. It disappeared temporarily after being killed by you once. The Bureau always thought it was dead through and through, but unexpectedly, it was detected again recently. Tenacious as a cockroach.”
Lin Jiangli pointed to the screen in front of Qin Huai. “Look, it’s been active recently in City A and neighboring City C. It has caused 17 brain deaths, 5 cases of total amnesia, and 3 cases of intermittent amnesia.”
“…”
After a few seconds, Qin Huai frowned and asked, “When did I kill it?”
“Five years ago, the second month of the closed military exercise.” Lin Jiangli answered without a fraction of error.
His reaction was slower than his instinct. Only after a few seconds did he ask, “Huh?? Didn’t you kill it yourself? Why ask me?”
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly solidified. A weird silence spread in the empty office. Lin Jiangli realized something and stared at Qin Huai in disbelief. Seeing the man’s face remain indifferent and plain, but his eyes staring at the Dream Demon’s file darken.
“…You know my memory doesn’t make mistakes,” Lin Jiangli muttered.
“I know.”
Qin Huai said nothing more, casually flipping past the file. Just then, his phone vibrated slightly. He opened WeChat and saw the invitation to watch a movie from the pinned person.
The slightly gloomy feeling in his heart instantly dissipated. Qin Huai checked the time in a good mood and closed his phone.
Memory matters could be dealt with at any time, but today’s matters… Qin Huai didn’t intend to let any unexpected situation affect them. So even with such a sudden situation, Qin Huai had no intention of working overtime.
Half an hour before Duan Ke finished class, he finished all of today’s work, changed out of his uniform, and drove to A University to pick him up.
After dinner, the two arrived at the cinema. There were many people queuing at this hour. They decided to split the work: Duan Ke went to buy popcorn, and Qin Huai queued for tickets.
When Duan Ke came back holding caramel popcorn, Qin Huai had already bought the tickets.
The tall man sat on the chair in the cinema lobby, very conspicuous. The eyes of people waiting around frequently lingered on him.
When Duan Ke ran over, people’s eyes shifted to Duan Ke, then darted back and forth between the two.
Either smiling secretly in excitement or turning their heads in regret.
Duan Ke saw Qin Huai sitting with his head down, holding his phone in one hand and movie tickets in the other, his expression indescribable for some reason.
He walked over thump-thump-thump, clutching the popcorn bucket.
“Want some, Brother? I specifically asked the sister to give me the freshly made batch. Super fragrant.”
Qin Huai looked up at him, the indescribable expression not fully gone.
But he didn’t ask anything. One hand wrapped around Duan Ke’s waist, and the other pulled a chair over for him to sit.
“I…”
Qin Huai hadn’t finished speaking when Duan Ke pinched a piece of popcorn and brought it to Qin Huai’s face.
Duan Ke had absolutely no awareness of the surrounding gazes. Like a kitten bringing a toy to its owner, he stared at Qin Huai with bright eyes.
Qin Huai paused, naturally turned his head to accept it, and lightly rubbed his lips against Duan Ke’s fingers in passing.
Duan Ke retracted his hand and chuckled, “Delicious, right? I buy it every time I come to the movies. Popcorn must be from the cinema to be tasty.”
Qin Huai looked at Duan Ke, feeling he resembled a kitten guarding its food bowl, and gave a hum in response.
“We will come often in the future.”
Duan Ke didn’t think much about what “often” meant and started gnawing on popcorn one by one.
Sitting next to him, Qin Huai played with Duan Ke’s free hand while looking at the movie schedule.
After hesitating, he still asked, “Did you want to see this movie yourself?”
“Hmm?” Duan Ke turned to look at him. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Qin Huai’s expression began to turn subtle again.
He handed the movie ticket to Duan Ke. Duan Ke looked closely and finally saw the words on it clearly.
Transmigrated as a Villainous Monster, I Became the God of Creation
Duan Ke paused in eating popcorn. Hooked by the name, he took Qin Huai’s phone to read the movie synopsis.
It was roughly about a slacker who transmigrated as a super-strong villainous monster. Through lying flat and slacking off, he unknowingly wiped out the Bureau and finally took charge of the three realms, becoming the God of Creation.
As Duan Ke read, he stopped eating popcorn, his eyes widening.
“…How long until it starts?”
Duan Ke’s eyes were unusually bright. He licked his lips. “So looking forward to it.”
Qin Huai looked at his expression with complex feelings.
“…The Inquisitor in this loses miserably in the great battle against the protagonist, Duan Ke.”
Duan Ke’s eyes grew even brighter. “Mhm mhm mhm, yes yes yes.”
Qin Huai looked at Duan Ke’s excited eyes, completely devoid of guilt. Silent for two seconds, he was so angry he gave a low laugh.
Before Duan Ke could figure out why his keeper was suddenly laughing, he saw Qin Huai turn his face away. His own right cheek was lifted somewhat heavily by Qin Huai and pinched punitively.
