Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Before even reaching the health center, Wu Tongxue spotted Huo Tongzhou on the way.

The man casually wore a jacket, was shirtless, and leaned against a tree with a blank expression.

Upon seeing Wu Tongxue, he straightened up slightly and immediately looked over.

Wu Tongxue looked around and, seeing no one, walked over. "You're here so early, your hair..."

Her stiff, black hair was half dry and half damp, and there were even water stains on her jacket, clearly indicating that she hadn't dried her hair before going out.

"Divorce him." That was Huo Tongzhou's first sentence upon arrival.

Wu Tongxue stood two steps away from him, watching him lean against the tree with his arms crossed, looking like he had no room for negotiation, his tone cold and commanding.

"Huo Tongzhou," Wu Tongxue called out to him in a softer tone.

It was a soft, melodious sound, the kind of sound that Huo Tongzhou would instinctively react to.

He finally turned his head and met Wu Tongxue's gaze.

Those eyes were dark and bright, yet soft like water; it was impossible to get angry or cold towards him.

After a long silence, Huo Tongzhou uttered a low "Mm".

Release your arms from your embrace, stand up straight, and place your hands at your sides – this is a perfect posture for a hug.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of gold on the ground, while the shapeless shadows of the leaves swayed in the wind.

Wu Tongxue approached step by step, and finally they stood together in the shade of the leaves.

Unbeknownst to him, Huo Tongzhou tensed his back, his expression unreadable.

His gaze fell upon that fair and delicate face, which was as white as snow, and his head was slightly lowered.

"Wait for me, okay?" Wu Tongxue tilted her head back, pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Wait until later..."

"One day, we will truly be together."

Wu Tongxue is currently planning to use delaying tactics. He cannot simply abandon the mission, as that would make progress impossible.

As for Yan Liang, he couldn't just take direct action.

He needs to study this mission further to see if he can find any loopholes or supplementary mechanisms.

However, time was too tight, and once Yan Liang returned, none of them could hold back.

As soon as she said it, Wu Tongxue felt guilty and her conscience ached. This behavior... well, it was already immoral, so she decided not to dwell on it.

“My parents have both passed away. He brought me out of poverty and he has been very good to me.”

Huo Tongzhou clenched his fists, his breathing became heavy, and his sharp gaze vaguely looked towards a certain spot.

"how long?"

Wu Tongxue lowered her eyes, thinking guiltily, "One year."

"No."

"That--"

Wu Tongxue tried to bargain, but was suddenly embraced tightly.

"I know it's not your problem."

"I always get what I want myself."

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it. In the end, you can only marry me."

The bandit's tone and the sinister undertones startled Wu Tongxue. "No, what are you planning to do?"

Clearly, Huo Tongzhou had his own ideas, and had already given them thought.

Huo Tongzhou released him, his tone returning to normal, "I brought you some things back and left them at my house."

Sensing the unspoken meaning, Wu Tongxue nodded in agreement, "I'll take it when I go to your house."

"Actually, it's my problem, I..."

Huo Tongzhou interrupted, his gaze firm, "No, don't overthink it, I won't do anything."

"Just do what you're supposed to do."

Did I scare you last night?

Huo Tongzhou's gaze held worry and apology, his lips were pursed, and he kept his head down, closely watching Wu Tongxue's expression.

Wu Tongxue shook her head. "There's something else I'm keeping from you."

Huo Tongzhou looked at him.

Wu Tongxue: "Actually, I'm a boy."

Huo Tongzhou: "Hmm, it's okay."

Wu Tongxue: "?"

"Did you hear me clearly?" he repeated.

"I'm a boy."

Huo Tongzhou: "I heard you clearly. I said, it's okay, I only like you."

Wu Tongxue was speechless for a moment.

Even so, aren't you even a little bit annoyed at being deceived?

Can't he just get a little angry and then take the opportunity to act unreasonably and "heartbrokenly" distance himself from them for a while?

Huo Tongzhou even felt a little uncomfortable because he had just said the word "like".

Wu Tongxue took a shallow breath, but Huo Tongzhou's expression was very serious.

"Xiaoxue, everything will be alright from now on."

Wu Tongxue blinked, puzzled. "What's with the heartache in your eyes?"

He explained, "Wearing women's clothing was my own choice."

To complete this task, he must disguise himself as a girl.

Huo Tongzhou nodded, silently agreeing with him.

It was getting late, and before leaving, Wu Tongxue made one last request, "You're not allowed to do anything reckless."

He was afraid that Huo Tongzhou might ruthlessly confront Yan Liang directly, which would make things really difficult.

Wu Tongxue threatened, "Otherwise, I will never see you again."

Huo Tongzhou nodded.

He certainly wouldn't do anything reckless; such matters couldn't be handled by him. There were other ways.

A rival in love knows a rival in love best, and Huo Tongzhou knew there was only one solution to this problem.

……

Life at the health center was peaceful; I only needed to do some simple chores.

Yan Ling was drying medicinal herbs on the rack, telling stories of interesting things that had happened in the brigade.

As the only barefoot doctor in Qingshan Brigade for the time being, Yan Ling often treated people with headaches and fevers, and thus heard a lot of gossip.

Hearing these things, Yan Ling liked to come back and share them, especially her various love and hate stories, which she talked about with the most enthusiasm.

"Those educated youth in the educated youth compound, tsk tsk tsk, but at least one of the troublemakers left."

Wu Tongxue casually asked, "Who left?"

"It's that educated youth Feng who's always causing trouble. He's disliked not only in the brigade but also in the educated youth compound."

Wu Tongxue thought for a moment, and it seemed that she had heard some bad things about Feng Zhiqing from some children.

I don't remember what her name was; I just overheard it casually and didn't pay it any mind.

"How did she get there?" She shouldn't be able to get back to the city at this time.

Yan Ling took a different winnowing basket and brought it up, but the captain returned it.

"so serious?"

Yan Ling thought for a moment, "Maybe even the brigade leader couldn't stand her anymore."

She didn't find out exactly what Feng Xiaoman had done, but she usually liked to do a lot of things, so she didn't mind doing one more.

"By the way, how has Grandma Hua been these past few days? Is she quite happy?" Yan Ling changed the subject.

"She likes you a lot. You should visit her more often when you have time. She's been through a lot, so you can ask her for advice if you have any problems in life."

“If she didn’t find me annoying, I would have liked to go with you.”

Yan Ling looked at Wu Tongxue's face and said in a low voice, then became happy again, "I made some sponge cakes this morning, can you taste them and tell me how sweet they are?"

Wu Tongxue then released his grip on the small stool behind his back; her gaze had made him feel very uneasy.

He needs to be wary of people who are obsessed with looks.

"Oh, right, Bai Zhiqing is coming over this afternoon to pick up some things. I'll go prepare them," Yan Ling reminded her, stuffing the pastries into Wu Tongxue's hands before turning to go to the pharmacy.
