“Give me a clean finish! After fourteen years, I’m still a hero!” Chang Fei shouted furiously, determined to die with some style.
The aunt across from her rolled her eyes.
“Who said you’re really dead?”
“Huh? Wasn’t it you…” Chang Fei hadn’t finished speaking before the other party stomped down hard again, nearly making her catch her breath.
She coughed repeatedly and shut her mouth, only to hear the Rabbit Queen click her tongue in displeasure.
Her gaze was no longer as fierce as before.
She withdrew her foot, lifted Chang Fei up, and patted down the slightly wrinkled clothes.
In those eyes, there seemed to be a trace of sorrow, and yet also a burning anger.
After a long while, she sighed softly, took a deep drag from the cigarette in her hand, then turned and went back to her room.
“Little ones, you’d better stop stirring up trouble. This is my world. If you come again next time, I’ll definitely beat you to death…”
“Eh?” Hearing the soft sigh, Chang Fei felt inexplicably puzzled.
What did the Rabbit Queen mean by that?
Why did her gaze look so sorrowful just now?
It was like… a wounded tigress…
“If you’re thinking anything weird or ill-intentioned, kid, I’ll smash your head open.”
Before Chang Fei could even catch a breath, the Rabbit Queen’s voice snapped into his ears, making him shiver.
Reluctantly, he abandoned the image of a wounded tigress and replaced it with that of a wounded Rabbit Queen…
If it hadn’t been for calling her the wrong name, it seemed like she had no intention of continuing the conversation.
But Chang Fei still shamelessly followed behind the Rabbit Queen, rubbing his hands together in a somewhat sleazy manner.
The Rabbit Queen was a little surprised by his recklessness.
“What’s wrong? Kid, you’re really asking for death?”
“No, I’m just casually looking around. I don’t quite understand what kind of grudge you hold, Queen Sister, that made you create this ‘Shadow Fate’… uh, this world?” Chang Fei was a little embarrassed but finally asked.
“It’s because of those two bastards, Le Zheng Tingyu and Leng Chen Luo!” The Rabbit Queen showed no intention of hiding anything. When Chang Fei asked, she sneered and said it bluntly.
Chang Fei was taken aback.
Le Zheng Tingyu and Leng Chen Luo?
If he remembered correctly, those were his scumbag father and the Leng Family’s CEO, right?
Hearing those names suddenly made it hard for Chang Fei to stay calm.
His expression darkened instantly, but he didn’t notice the change on his face or realize that it caught the Rabbit Queen’s eye.
He tried to keep a neutral tone and asked, “What happened to them? Did they do something shameful?”
Though he tried to sound calm, the resentment from the past ten years couldn’t be hidden at all, which made the Rabbit Queen stop in her tracks and narrow her eyes, trying to read something from Chang Fei.
Her tone slow and probing: “Le Zheng Tingyu and Leng Chen Luo… one is my husband, and the other is my rival!”
“Eh?!” Chang Fei felt his legs slip, almost falling to the ground.
He had suspected it before: this ‘Shadow Fate’ world might not be the grudge born from a gay man’s unrequited love, but rather the grudge of a fujoshi.
Why did he come to this conclusion now?
Earlier, when talking to the most affectionate couple on the street, the expressions they showed when seeing him and Lu Li, combined with his deliberate provocation and stirring up, immediately threw the situation into chaos.
If it were the grudge of a gay man who failed to obtain love, then logically all the couples would be in perfect mutual love, sweet and happy, but wouldn’t display their affection so blatantly.
Perhaps becoming a matchmaker gave him an instinctive ability to analyze love situations.
Chang Fei felt the so-called love these people showed was extremely exaggerated, without red threads connecting them.
They were like puppets following a predetermined script, and when encountering two variables like her and Lu Li, the fake puppet strings broke.
Those people could no longer be controlled by that brainwashing-like situation.
If he was right, those who lost control would soon awaken, and then it would quickly spread among the crowd.
This ‘Shadow Fate’ probably wouldn’t last long before being attacked, right?
But before that… he didn’t mind chatting a bit with the Rabbit Queen: “Rabbit Sister, are you sure you got something wrong? Who is your husband? And who is your rival?”
“My husband is Leng Chen Luo, and my rival is Le Zheng Tingyu!” The Rabbit Queen said coldly through clenched teeth.
Chang Fei’s eyes immediately fell on the red thread tied to her hand.
It had darkened to a dull red, even tinged with blue.
He felt a bit helpless and amused at the same time.
“What exactly is going on? Sister, can you tell me?”
The Rabbit Queen lightly hummed and said casually, “Why else? Because Le Zheng Tingyu often comes to my house to play. He often closes the door and secretly chats with my husband, and they talk all day long. At first, I felt uneasy, but I thought since they were friends, they wouldn’t do anything to betray me. And after Le Zheng Tingyu divorced fourteen years ago, he hasn’t had relationships with other women, not even with that so-called ‘Queen Le Zheng’—who isn’t even given a proper status…”
The Rabbit Queen’s words suddenly made Chang Fei’s eyes light up, like someone waking up sharply after being hit.
She immersed herself again in her past sorrow: “I didn’t expect he was actually a man who likes men… That night when I came home… I saw him shirtless, covered in blood, and my husband was behind him doing who knows what…”
“And then?” Chang Fei was slightly surprised. His scumbag father got hurt? Why? He was eager to find out.
“Then?” The Rabbit Queen sneered coldly.
“Then I never went back again. Let them get close however they want!”
“Sis, what kind of brain circuit do you have? Are you overthinking this? Why would seeing someone covered in blood mean he’s having an affair with your husband? Are you a fujoshi? If they really had something, how would you have three kids?”
Chang Fei got so worked up he forgot his identity and yelled at the Rabbit Queen, not even knowing why he cared so much about others’ misunderstandings of his father.
The Rabbit Queen’s gaze on Chang Fei turned more ambiguous.
“Kid, could it be… you like either my husband or Le Zheng Tingyu?”
Chang Fei helplessly rubbed his forehead.
An angry fire rose in his chest.
“Weird Sister, can you stop wasting your fujoshi imagination? Why does a perfectly good friendship or family relationship look like love in your eyes?”

Words from Shangzhi:
Lately, Shangzhi has been rushing the pace a lot, so I’ve decided to listen to the readers and slow down a bit for adjustment. To prevent any issues at night, I’m updating early this morning. The chapter’s plot development may gradually slow down. After the laughs, we’ll move into serious and solemn storytelling. I hope readers will still enjoy that.
Also, best of luck to those taking exams today! Do well!
