LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 45: You Don’t Deserve
Chen Ling looked at the points in front of him and chuckled before stepping into the elevator and approaching the dazed Sui Li’er. As he passed by that woman, he didn’t even spare her a glance. But the woman’s eyes were fixed on Chen Ling, and she even turned her head to look at him after he walked past.
In an instant, Sui Li’er completely forgot the pain she had just experienced. However, she couldn’t help but sob, but in the next moment, she broke into laughter. “Hehe, Chen Ling!”
Tears still hung on her face, and Chen Ling gently extended his hand to wipe them away.
In a soft voice, he said, “How long did I leave, and you’re already crying? How can I be at ease like this?”
This was absolutely the gentlest moment Chen Ling had ever displayed since his birth!
Sui Li’er stared at him in a daze. At this moment, she couldn’t remember the sadness from earlier. All she saw in her eyes was the tender Chen Ling before her: Help… Lord God is so gentle… I… can’t take it…
Her heart suddenly started beating faster, “Thump, thump, thump~”
〚 Ding~ The target feels happy, points +100,000 〛
It wasn’t just Sui Li’er whose heart was racing; the woman behind Chen Ling, who had been staring at him all along, also felt it. From eye contact, there was a feeling of excitement when Chen Ling’s icy gaze became incredibly gentle.
The look in her eyes towards Sui Li’er was no longer the disgusting one from before; it was now full of envy!
This girl is so lucky…
Her boyfriend noticed his girlfriend staring at Chen Ling and became annoyed.
“Hey! What are you looking at?” It was clear that he was getting angry.
Damn it, you don’t let me look, but you have no problem staring, huh? Fuck!
With a shout, the man scared even Sui Li’er, who was immersed in Chen Ling’s tenderness. She looked at him with some fear. The woman also froze for a moment, furrowed her brows, and glanced back at her boyfriend without offering any explanation. “What’s the matter? Why are you shouting?”
The man narrowed his eyes upon hearing her words, glancing at Chen Ling and then at his girlfriend. Internally, he cursed: Damn you for being so handsome.
He didn’t say anything.
Sui Li’er breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he wasn’t addressing her. As she looked at Chen Ling, a smile involuntarily formed on her lips. “Um… Why are you back so early? Hehe~”
Seeing her silly smile, Chen Ling couldn’t help but smile as well. Instantly, he felt his mood improve, and he extended his hand with a smile. “Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there.”
Whether it was in this world or another, heaven or hell, as long as she could name it, Chen Ling would take her there.
“Hehe~ I want to look around and see if there’s a suitable job for me.” Sui Li’er smiled happily, accidentally shedding two more tears. She quickly wiped them away with her other hand, revealing her cute, shining teeth and an expression of happiness.
Chen Ling nodded. “Okay.”
With that said, the two of them disappeared inside the elevator. As for that woman, Chen Ling certainly wouldn’t let her off so easily.
I can’t bear to make her cry, so why should you!?
In the instant he left, that woman’s world lost its brightness. At first, she just stood there, looking around in confusion.
“Why… Why did the lights go out?” She thought the lights inside the elevator had gone out.
“Huh? What are you talking about?” Her boyfriend looked at her with confusion.
Upon hearing her boyfriend’s voice, she turned to look at him. “The lights! They went out, and I can’t see anything.”
Her boyfriend furrowed his brow and looked at her incredulously. “No, the lights are still on. What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see?”
He also turned his head to look. “Where… Where are those two people from earlier?”
Upon hearing this, the woman finally realized. It turned out that she couldn’t see.
“Why… Why can’t I see!?” Her voice began to tremble.
The scariest thing isn’t darkness; it’s having once seen the light before being plunged into darkness. Chen Ling understood this well, so he took away her light without lifting a finger or shedding a drop of blood. He could make her completely collapse.
He could have bound the target and tortured her, but Chen Ling had no desire to touch her even a bit.
“Help… help me… I… I can’t see!” The woman’s shrill voice echoed within the narrow elevator, piercing her boyfriend’s eardrums with pain.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me.”
“I can’t see! I can’t see!” She shouted frantically.
In her boyfriend’s perspective, she was desperately keeping her eyes wide open, as if they were about to burst out. Her face contorted, resembling a mad person.
Suddenly, Chen Ling’s voice appeared in her mind: “God gave you a pair of eyes to discover beauty, but you use them to hate. Then you don’t deserve to have them.”
“Who?!”
The woman screamed in terror. “Who’s talking?!”
“Who! Give me back my eyes! Ah!” She began to wildly grope around in her dark world, using her hands.
“Thud!” She hit the elevator wall, but didn’t even realize it.
Her boyfriend was terrified. “Hey! Are you crazy? What are you doing?!”
“Somebody! Somebody took my eyes.”
“Damn, are you insane?” The man furrowed his brow and glanced at her in her crazed state.
She not only lost her sight but also her love. In her dark world, she would experience a different kind of loneliness from Sui Li’er.
On the contrary, the light in Sui Li’er’s life would accompany her forever.
“Hehe~” Sui Li’er happily held Chen Ling’s hand and couldn’t help but bounce around every few steps. She kept swinging his hand, feeling so happy~ incredibly happy!
Passersby couldn’t help but notice her, she was like a joyful and beautiful little fairy. 100% turning heads.
However, Sui Li’er didn’t pay attention to that because she was always smiling and looking at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling also had a gentle smile on his face, looking ahead.
“Huh?” Lost in her happiness, Sui Li’er accidentally let go of his hand. She paused for a moment and instinctively tried to grab it again.
But Chen Ling instinctively put his hand in his pocket. He always walked with his hands in his pockets.
Sui Li’er, who was just bouncing around a moment ago, suddenly looked dejected.
Oh no…
We can’t hold hands anymore!
It’s all my fault…
〚 Ding~ Target is unhappy, -1 point 〛
〚 -1 point! 〛
Chen Ling couldn’t believe his eyes. Sui Li’er actually had a -1 score? Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh… nothing~” After saying that, Sui Li’er pouted and glanced at Chen Ling’s hand in his pocket.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but murmur: He put his hand in so quickly, I couldn’t even react…
Chen Ling indeed didn’t realize it. He took out his hand, slightly puzzled. Sui Li’er’s heart rejoiced, and she was about to reach out her hand when she noticed that Chen Ling scratched his head and then put his hand back into his pocket.
After being fooled, Sui Li’er became even more speechless.
Looking at her expression of speechlessness, Chen Ling felt puzzled inside: What’s wrong with her? Did I do something to upset her again? I hope not.
While he was thinking, Sui Li’er suddenly pointed excitedly at a convenience store ahead. “Hey? There’s a convenience store over there. I want to go check it out!”
Chen Ling nodded, “Alright.”
As they walked in and saw the sign of the store, Sui Li’er made up her mind!
She had to work here because the sign of the store said “Lingchen Convenience Store.”
In her eyes, it was “Chen Ling Convenience Store.”
“Hmm? What happened inside?” When they reached the entrance, Sui Li’er saw that the interior was all charred and many shelves had collapsed.
A young boy was being scolded by his boss.
This convenience store was the one Chen Ling visited last night, and the boy was Yang Heli. The charred interior and the collapsed shelves were the result of the explosion caused by his little fireball curse. The metal racks had collapsed, but Chen Ling’s face remained unscathed.
