Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 116 Accompanying You to Watch the Sunrise Every Day

On the top floor of the hospital is a beautifully decorated rooftop garden, a rare and tranquil spot in this city filled with towering buildings.

Geng Miaowan sat on the artificial lawn on the rooftop. The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the distant horizon was showing the first hints of dawn. A few streaks of golden yellow peeked through, like fine coins interspersed among the light.

The sunrise always seems to offer a unique experience, no matter where you look at it. Qiu Pi stood beside her, quiet, without uttering a single word.

"Sit down." She patted the grass beside her, her eyes never leaving the distant sunrise. In her memory, she didn't think she had ever truly seen a sunrise before, but she never expected to see one here today.

Qiu Pi sat down as instructed.

After a long while, when the sun had peeked out more than halfway, Geng Miaowan finally spoke again, "Actually, this is a long story." She hesitated before speaking, and although she had already sorted out the things that could and could not be said in her mind, she still didn't know how to start.

"I hope you can keep what happened at the villa today a secret and not mention to anyone that we were ever there."

"why?"

"Do you believe in ghosts and spirits?" she asked instead of answering.

She had asked He Chaobai the same question over a month ago, and today, she asked the man before her again. He Chaobai's answer was disbelief. She didn't look at Qiu Pi, but waited for his reply.

“I believe you.” That was his answer.

"I can't explain much about this. All I can say is that He Chaobai's death has nothing to do with us; it's because he was tainted by something that wasn't human." She turned to look at him, and asked solemnly, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Qiu Pi nodded. "Understood. I won't tell anyone."

Then, an eerie silence fell over the surroundings.

Faced with this person who was so cooperative, Geng Miaowan suddenly didn't know what to say. She had thought she would have to use a lot of persuasion to make him understand what had happened and not pursue the matter, thus covering for her. But she hadn't expected that he would completely accept her explanation after just a few words.

Such a savvy person. She'd never seen anyone like that before.

She looked at this handsome young man, and it seemed that from the very beginning, she had never understood him...

"What do you think he knows?" she asked Luan Hao in her mind's eye. Luan Hao seemed to be coming out more often lately.

"It's hard to say, this person doesn't seem so simple."

Seeing her staring at him without speaking, Qiu Pi smiled teasingly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Have you suddenly realized you're starting to have feelings for me?"

Although he would ask her out whenever he had free time, he could clearly sense that her heart wasn't with him at all. No matter what he did for her, she might be moved, but she was never truly in love.

This frustrated him greatly. Wherever he went, women would throw themselves at him. To be honest, Geng Miaowan wasn't the most beautiful woman, but she had a unique charm that attracted him to her.

When had Qiu Pi ever fawned over a woman like this? If it were any other woman, he would have told her to get lost long ago. But with Geng Miaowan, the more indifferent she was to him, the more he couldn't let go. The more he wanted her attention, the more he wanted to win her heart.

Perhaps this is a common problem among men.

Upon hearing his words, Geng Miaowan exclaimed, "Are you dreaming?" and turned her gaze away.

At this moment, the sun in the distance had fully risen into the sky, its pale golden light warmly bathing the earth, and the whole world exuded an atmosphere of prosperity and flourishing.

The gentle sunlight, like a doting hand, caressed her face, leaving a soft halo. Her delicate skin appeared even more translucent under the light, and Qiu Pi could even see the fine downy hairs on her face shimmering with a transparent glow.

"Finally. I saw the sunrise too..." Geng Miaowan exclaimed, a satisfied expression on her face and a faint smile on her lips.

"If you like, I can watch the sunrise with you every day from now on."

“Every day…” she murmured the two words softly, then, as if remembering something, she sighed softly and said to him gently, “Thank you, Qiu Pi.”

He was the best person she had met since her rebirth, and his care for her was almost meticulous. She could understand his feelings.

If she hadn't been reincarnated and reborn, hadn't encountered so many things, and if she were still just an ordinary human being, then even if she really didn't like it, she might have been able to convince herself to enjoy this rare time of romance.

However, there are no "what ifs" in this world, and she was destined to be unable to reciprocate his feelings. Therefore, she always remained clear-headed in her attitude towards him, refusing to fall into the sweet trap he had carefully woven.

Qiu Pi looked at Geng Miaowan, who was lost in thought. Her calm expression returned, and the feeling that she might disappear at any moment returned to his heart.

As if he couldn't accept Geng Miaowan like this, or as if he was certain she was right beside him, he suddenly turned and embraced her, kissing her amidst her panicked gaze.

The morning sunlight shone on the couple embracing on the rooftop, casting long shadows behind them. Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that the smaller, thinner figure seemed to be struggling, yet was being held firmly in place.

In an instant, the people who were kissing seemed to be bounced away by something.

Geng Miaowan stood up, wiped her lips, and said, "If you do this again, I'll... I'll..." As if she couldn't think of what she would do, she stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, and ran away.

Normally, Qiu Pi would have teased her playfully, but at this moment he could only watch helplessly as she ran inside. He himself was still in shock from the force he had just witnessed.

That power was something he had never seen before, yet it was so strong it chilled him to the bone. However, he could also sense that the power did not belong to Geng Miaowan; otherwise, she would always be at a disadvantage when facing him or He Chaobai.

He sighed softly to himself, "Geng Miaowan, who exactly are you?"

However, no matter who she is, he has no intention of letting her go!

Behind him, a long shadow was cast alone on the grass, with nothing else beside him to match, utterly alone. (To be continued.)
