Aria’s Tales - Chapter 43 3.3 Miss Troublemaker

Qin Huang was gently, yet overbearingly, placed inside the black limousine that her Adounis had ridden on. He had only left a few words to his subordinates to take care of his left-behind brother before he waved his hand to order someone to drive.

His nonchalant look made Sun Xue utterly speechless. Who exactly needed help here?! Hello?? Aren’t I, your brother?! Sun Xue watched on helplessly as the car sped up and left him in the hands of two brawn men – each of them holding one of his arms.

Qin Huang did not restrain herself and laughed as she watched the forlorn Sun Xue getting farther and farther. Only until she could no longer see even a speck of him did she turn around to face her “kidnapper”.

“Handsome~ We’re going to your home~?”

Restraint was never in Qin Huang’s vocabulary as she kept pestering the cold-faced man. His stoic face was kept forward, and his eyes were fixed to the front. If she didn’t notice his frigid, frozen body, she would have really thought that he was as cold as he appeared to be.

“Hey~” She decided to take it a step further and crawled slightly towards his spot. Since never had she worn seatbelts in her life, it was not something she even gave a thought about. So she inched her way closer while repeatedly calling out ‘hey.’

A hand landed on her forehead and stopped her advances, “I’m taking you to your home.” He finally said through a sigh, and his rigid body seemed to relax a little.

Qin Huang blinked her eyes in disbelief. “You’re not taking me to your bed~?”

The man became frigid again. He was still deep in thought in what he should do and say when his hand, that was holding her forehead, was caught by her own. She had brought it to her lips and left a fleeting kiss. “Say handsome~ I’m not sure if I got your name?” Her mouth curved up while her eyes curved down.

“Stop. Fooling. Around.” He said through gritted teeth and made her go back to her seat. Although his words had carried annoyance, Qin Huang swore that she heard helplessness mixed in. And her speculations only rose when even the way he pushed her away was too careful – not at all matching his cold tone.

Qin Huang kept her eyes on him. She stared and stared. Until he couldn’t take it anymore and turned to his window, his body was burning and he could feel his control breaking. He had seen the girl before when he had first met the Qin brothers, but he had not felt this way. It was a feeling of obsession that was unreasonably irrational. He had to use all his inner strength to keep his head sane. He cursed at this strange emotion.

While he was dwelling in his thoughts of his new discovery, he heard the sound of a car door opening and the wildly rushing wind.

“Handsome~! I dun wanna go home yet~!”

To his horror, he found Qin Huang holding the car door open while naturally expressing her natural feelings. She did not show the least bit of fright and even gave him a pout! Before he could reach out his hand to pull her in, she had already jumped.

“Qin Huang!!!”

His scream scared the driver silly and made the car skid to a stop.

Qin Huang had nimbly jumped off the car and slid on the pavement with her flat-heel boots. When she saw that it was not damage at all by the friction, she grinned. “Zedong gege is amazing! This metal plated boots are even better than I imagined!”

She had wanted to examine the boots further, but she had heard the car skidding to a stop and quickly dipped down. She pushed a button on the side of her shoes and roller blades came out on its base. Her grin grew wider.

She might not have had a chance in escaping barefoot in a mortal’s body, but with her second brother’s, Zedong’s, expertise in inventions, she had more than enough confidence to attempt it. She didn’t delay anymore and ran away, and it hadn’t even taken three seconds for her brother’s might to show. She was actually being chased by a limousine car, in roller blades, and was not even getting caught!

A wide smile was spread on her face as she went past from car to car – leaving everyone in the wake flabbergasted. They could not fathom what they were seeing. A beautiful girl in roller skates was being chased by a limo, yet was zooming past and jumping over obstacles.

They must have woken up still dreaming right? This must be the dream inside the dream right?

Qin Huang … was having the time of her life. She had to admit that the original’s hobbies were perfectly in line to her taste – the exciting adrenaline rush when doing an extreme sport.

Qin Huang: Lily~ I think I might get addicted to this~

Lily: *speechless* Master~! Please restrain yourself!

Qin Huang: Eh~ But if I do then I’d be going out of character!

Lily: … you sure that’s not just an excuse?

Qin Huang: Tee hee~

Lily: *exasperated*

In the end, Qin Huang successfully escaped through many twists and turns – which she did intentionally – and got back to the hotel she was currently staying at. She was drenched in sweat and her cheeks were red, but she showed no exhaustion and looked vigorous instead.

She had taken a shower and was just about to dry her hair when her doorbell rang. She was a bit surprised.

“In the middle of the night?” She murmured as she opened the door. And what greeted her was an angry handsome man with his arms crossed, and his brows knit.

“Haha~ Hello handsome~”

Qin Huang was still unfazed and had actually leaned on the doorframe. Her only cover was her white towel that she had casually draped around her chest. Her wet hair still dripping on her slender neck.

The man had to literally breathe in and out deeply a couple of times before he gained his calmness again. He pinched the bridge of his nose and sigh. “Go change first.”

“Mn? You aren’t coming in~?” She tilted her head and purposefully let her hair slid back to expose her neck.

The man looked away. “Go change.” His tone was firm and monotonous.

Qin Huang pouted. “You haven’t even told me your name~! Who are you to order me!”

Her statement startled him. He took a glance at her only to look away again. The girl’s red face and pouty lips, coupled with her revealing outfit … was too destructive.

“Teng Zexi.”

Qin Huang’s pretended anger was deflated with just those words. In a split second, she changed from a lady throwing a tantrum to an innocent girl with a bright smile. “Zexi gege!”

A crack finally appeared on his stoic face and a slight blush crept up from his neck to his ears. He coughed a few times in hopes to calm himself.

“Zexi gege wait for me then~” She said coquettishly.

Qin Huang turned back to her room and closed the door – seemingly having no idea what kind of mental damage she had done to the still coughing man. However, when the door was closed, she couldn’t resist the slight giggle that escaped her lips.

Qin Huang: Ahh~ That was so meng!

Lily: Teng Zexi … have it worst than Shen Yan and Adounis *sigh*

Qin Huang didn’t comment and merely went on to do her task. After she had dressed into a tight black tube and black slick pants with a biker jacket on top, she left her face bare and her wet hair dangling.

Teng Zexi’s face was shrouded in gloom once again when she came out of the door. He hesitated at first, but his instinct were telling him that she could get a cold with her hair wet like that. So he decisively pulled her back to her room, accurately find the hairdryer in just one scan, and made the bewildered girl sit on the bed. With gentle movements that he didn’t even notice, he meticulously dried her hair.

Qin Huang was melting both in the inside and out. The fact that the original was a straightforward person made her unable to restrain her own feelings. But she still had a boundary, because she could not let her own true feelings influence the original soul’s. Or else, if the original were to be influenced by her own obsession with her man, then Qin Huang would have long pounced at Teng Zexi.

Qin Huang was still not over Cai De, and it had not been easy in the original fate for her to move on. She lowered her eyes as she indulged in the warm feeling of getting her hair dried. She dazedly thought that the only way for Qin Huang to truly move on was for her to trust Teng Zexi enough that she let him dictate her life.

It was just like how she would let her brothers order her despite being born as a free soul.

Teng Zexi had also fallen in deep thought. He was seriously questioning what he was doing right now. He had only meant to return a friend’s sister back home, so how did it turn to him drying her hair? When he was done, he even tied her hair into a ponytail, and he had only noticed after he was done … that it was perfectly done. His mouth twitched. I have only held guns before.

Qin Huang didn’t give him the chance to dwell in his thoughts further as after he had coiled the wire and carefully put away the hair dryer, she pulled him with her hands on his wrist and personally led him outside.

His heart was throbbing and almost leapt out. He couldn’t understand why and ended up frowning. Then his attention was caught by the warmth in his wrist that had seemed to warm his heart as well. He was so focused that he did not notice where Qin Huang had led him. Only when tickets to an amusement park that were littering on the floor had appeared in his view, did he jerked his head up.

There was a carousel, drop tower, dark ride, roller coaster, and many more. But what made him bewildered was the fact that such an active amusement park didn’t have a single visitor.

“Yan jiejie! How’s everything so far~” Qin Huang jogged over to the ticket booth with Teng Zexi in tow.

A fairly white-skinned woman was behind the counter with dark hair and dark, murky eyes. She looked up indifferently from her book and beamed when she saw Qin Huang. “Huang mei you’re here~” Her voice was endearing and pleasant to hear – closely resembling that of an angel’s choir.

“Ahh~ Yan jie’s voice is as beautiful as ever!” Qin Huang used her free hand to touch her cheek and squeal in delight. She fangirled for a full thirty seconds before finally remembering what she came here for. “Ah! That’s right~ I’m bringing my boyfriend ‘kay~? He’s new here so I have to be a good girl and show the best rides!”

Teng Zexi’s first thoughts of scolding the girl were easily shattered after hearing the word “boyfriend”. It whirled in his mind and had stubbornly taken root. He liked it, but somehow, he thinks there was a better word for it.

Yan jiejie’s face shifted for a split second. Since Qin Huang was thinking of what should Teng Zexi ride, she missed the lonely glint that passed Yan jiejie’s eyes. Yan jiejie had already returned to her beaming face when Qin Huang turned to her.

“Alright~ That’s tickets for two then! As always the amusement park is exclusive for you, so don’t hold back at all~” She took two ticket bracelets and placed them on each of their wrists, then waved them goodbye. She did not even take a single penny for a fee.

“You spoil her too much- you love her too much, and now what happened?” A male voice came from behind Yan jiejie startling her.

The emotions she had bottled up earlier seemed to have popped open as her eyes were soon glazed with tears. “Hasa gege!” She pounced on his chest and bawled.
