Chapter 81: I won’t be your weakness.

Tang Han Qiu held the phone and was looking at her.

Under her silent stare, Yu Ru Bing’s heartbeat unconsciously sped up, like the sound of a drum pounding and about to break through her chest, exposing herself to Tang Han Qiu.

To be exposed in front of the person she liked.

She gulped down the obstruction in her throat, and became uncontrollably nervous.

She carefully speculated inside herself: She couldn’t… have heard it, right?

But how could she? She was watching her talk on the phone to make sure she wouldn’t hear it when she arrogantly said that she liked her…

Did the car overturn¹?!

T/N

1. 翻车了: fail, meet some trouble

Is it over, was she done for?!

Tang Han Qiu moved, and said to Tang He Tian on the other end of the phone: “Dad, wait a moment.”

Yu Ru Bing saw her cover the mouthpiece of the phone and stare straight at herself, her rose red lips opened and closed, as she asked, “What did you just say?”

Yu Ru Bing’s nervousness instantly became stuck in her throat, and worry arose from her confused thoughts, making her let out an unnatural sound: “Huh?”

Tang Han Qiu said: “Did you just say something? Were you talking to me? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Can you say it again?”

The anxiousness in her throat disappeared, and the blood rushed back to her body, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and revealed a bright smile: “No, I wasn’t talking to you, continue your call.”

Tang Han Qiu uttered an oh, with no doubt, and turned her head to continue talking with Tang He Tian.

Yu Ru Bing also turned back, and let out a long breath of relief, letting her shoulders fall.

Risky, too risky.

Then she paused, raised her hand and smacked her forehead with annoyance, with a crisp slap.

Why did she panic like that just now?!

She used to be extremely calm when facing a tense situation, she wasn’t afraid of anything, could groundlessly talk about anything, even talk black into being white, and abruptly talk nonsense.

Then why did her brain short-circuit and panic just now?

008 suddenly said: [You seemed to very nervous and frightened just now?]

Hitting the nail on the head, this suddenly made Yu Ru Bing have a flash of insight.

Yes, she was afraid, afraid that Tang Han Qiu would discover her heart.

The heart that was too ashamed to speak its mind, and was hiding under several pretext.

Although she usually spoke outrageously and used the words “confidant” and “revolutionary comrades” to get close to Tang Han Qiu, and to become unique in Tang Han Qiu’s heart, but once asked to reveal her true thoughts to Tang Han Qiu, she would become scared.

She still didn’t have the courage to confess, at least not now, because she couldn’t afford the consequence of losing Tang Han Qiu.

Just like with Lao Yu…

The more you love, the more careful you must be.

But would she admit to 008 that she was afraid? No, because she had a thick skin.

Yu Ru Bing said shamelessly inside: No, I’m not nervous, you must have seen it wrong.

008: […I have the data record here.]

Yu Ru Bing: Then there’s a problem with your record, I suggest to change the system.

008 became speechless for a moment, and looked at the data that had been recorded, turned to look back at her, then after a while, slowly said: [Fear, sometimes can become a sword in the hands of others to stab you.]

It was an incomprehensible sentence without any deep meaning.

Yu Ru Bing suspiciously asked: What do you mean?

008 did not make a straightforward reply, and just said: [I wish for you to overcome all the factors that would make you afraid and uneasy as soon as possible.]

She stood there, slowly digesting the information transmitted by 008. What he said seemed to be something without sense, but considering his identity as a system operator, there seemed to be a trace of something to follow.

008 didn’t seem to be aiming at nothing, but was taking the opportunity to pass on a very important message to her, wanting her to take precautions.

— A sword in the hands of others.

Was it possible… was there something else after the correction system?

This system was just trolling her, right?

Can’t tempt her, so it would put its hand on her weakness?

Yu Ru Bing cursed in a low voice: “Really a garbage system!”

008 was taken aback, and asked: [Are you scolding me?]

Yu Ru Bing: “Except you.”

008 said oh, then thought about the pile of data he hasn’t finished yet, so turned on the system shield after notifying her, and went to concentrate on his work.

Although he was standing on Yu Ru Bing’s side, there were still some things that should be done, otherwise the main system would more likely become suspicious.

At this time, a pair of slender hands lightly fell on Yu Ru Bing’s shoulders, and a familiar voice spoke from behind her: “What happened?”

Yu Ru Bing suddenly turned around, and saw Tang Han Qiu standing behind her holding a mobile phone whose screen had already turned dark, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Ru Bing’s heart was touched, she reached out and patted the hand on her shoulder, smiling lightly and said: “The stupid system is thinking about how to shame me again, wanting to put its hand on my weakness, I feel that they are too insidious, so I was routinely cursing them to make them show respect.”

Weakness?

Tang Han Qiu’s first reaction was: “Your father?”

Yu Ru Bing was usually immune to poisonous attacks, and few people could touch her most vulnerable nerve, except for her late father, Mr. Lao Yu.

From Tang Han Qiu’s impression, Yu Ru Bing had already twice shed tears in front of her for Lao Yu, and she cried very sadly every time, like a distressed child abandoned by the world.

So it was not an exaggeration to say that Lao Yu was her weakness.

If the system took the deceased in order to punish her, cruelly opening her wounds, then that was indeed worthy of a scolding — that was virtually having no bottom line.

Yu Ru Bing stared at her and said without hesitation: “There is also you.”

Yu Ru Bing looked at her seriously and said: “In my past life, there has never been a person like you.”

“Someone who tolerated me, supported me, and always thought of me, treating me with utmost sincerity.”

“Han Qiu, you are also very precious in my heart, so precious that I am afraid of losing you.”

She had already lost a Lao Yu, she didn’t want to lose a Tang Han Qiu too.

Because of this fear of losing her, she dared not openly express her feelings.

And this fear may become a sword in the hands of the system at any moment, pointing it directly at her heart, and it was bound to defeat her.

She couldn’t figure out how the system would use Tang Han Qiu to deal with her.

Control Tang Han Qiu? That’s impossible. Tang Han Qiu’s sparkle value kept on increasing, and may deprive her of her heroine’s halo one day to become the new heroine of this world, the system had long been unable to catch this outstanding woman who had been selfishly defined as a female supporting character.

Then, will the system control her to deal with Tang Han Qiu? She thought about it, but she felt that it was impossible. If the system had the ability to do it directly, why did it need a host for?

They controlled the heroine’s body to accomplish all the things that needed to be corrected in the plot.

So she was at a loss as to how this weakness would become a sword in the hands of the system, and could only let this weakness know – that you are my weakness.

I was afraid of losing Lao Yu.

I’m also afraid of losing you.

Tang Han Qiu silently stared at Yu Ru Bing.

Yu Ru Bing’s expression was unprecedentedly serious, bright light flickering from her eyes, and she looked at her without blinking, as if afraid that she would miss something and lose something in the blink of an eye, afraid that she also wouldn’t believe her.

Won’t believe that she was scared of losing her.

Since the beginning when they first encountered each other it had been very dramatic, and they have supported each other all the way to the present, experiencing things together that would be unimaginable for other people.

With regards to the world, they were different.

But with regards to each other, they were the same.

They had the same experience, the same firm disposition, and the same precious person.

There was no doubt about it.

A feeling of gentleness slowly emerged from her heart, and the tender look arose between Tang Han Qiu’s eyebrows, making her want to hug the person in front of her, the first time that she took the initiative to hug her.

“I will not be your weakness, I will be your solid backing, and you will never lose me.” She hugged this extremely precious person into her arms and whispered in her ear, “Trust me, okay?”

She was the little princess of the Tang family, the jewel in the palm of her parents and elder brother, so she herself had the most solid backer that could support her throughout her life.

Yu Ru Bing also had one, and that was her.

In the past, others used to protect her, now it was time for her to protect others.

The little princess had long already grown up, and she had become a majestic queen. The queen that would protect her people, defend her territory, and protect her most precious Yu Ru Bing.

She would not be her weakness, she would be the sharp sword in her hand, protecting her, fighting side by side with her, cutting off thorns, splitting evil, and welcoming the light together.

Yu Ru Bing was extremely moved, and happily hugged her back, then softly responded, “Okay.”

She believed in her Qiu Qiu.

And also hoped that this precious relationship could go on like this forever, without being destroyed by anything.

……including her feelings that had long turned into love.

Tang Han Qiu stroked her head before letting her go, and opened her lips to say: “There’s something that I want to ask your opinion for.”

Yu Ru Bing blinked, and subconsciously said: “No problem, it’s okay, I can do it?”

Tang Han Qiu said with a laugh: “I haven’t said what it is?”

Yu Ru Bing readily followed: “Qiu Qiu has the final say, I can do it.”

“Qiu Qiu had the final say, there’s no problem” this great love policy, she practiced it all the time.

Tang Han Qiu folded her arms, and scanned her up and down, then said, “You’re the one who said this.”

When Yu Ru Bing heard her speak like this, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Yu Ru Bing: What is it, was there something wrong with my great love policy?!

She hurriedly said: “Wait, I think I should first know what the matter is? Is it something big or small?”

Tang Han Qiu tucked the hair that fell on her chest behind her ears, and with the same expression: “The answer to this question would depend on your acting skills.”

Yu Ru Bing: “?”

She became excited when she heard that she was going to act.

Yu Ru Bing: “I can!”

Old artist Yu Ru Bing: Acting makes me happy!

Tang Han Qiu said okay, and then called Tang He Tian back and said, “We will go back to see you later.”

Yu Ru Bing: “???”

Wait… was this the legendary meeting with the parents???

“Pretend that you like me very much,” Tang Han Qiu looked at her and blankly asked, “Would that be difficult?”
