Wu Jin’s eyes instantly opened wide. H1un9d

His thoughts jumped around lightning fast. It seemed that he’d seen this face somewhere before––

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Sorry.” The man’s mouth curved slightly, and his fingers twisted around the rose, pulling it out of his pocket. His formal wear with its modern cut was low-key yet luxurious, and the corner of his shirt could be seen when he raised his hand.

He wore silver rimmed glasses that made him appear like the ‘Imperial gentlemen’ that were described in the tabloids, but the eyes behind the lens blazed with a strange light. gTe5qQ

 

Wu Jin subconsciously lifted up the bench to scoot back. He clearly remembered where he’d seen him before. In the White Moonlight Battle Team corridor, on the bulletin board, there was an old, yellowed poster––

 

The man held up the rose and handed it to Wu Jin. The curves of his muscles beneath the shirt were extremely exaggerated, his skin color was dark, and the skin from the back of his hand to his forearm was covered in fierce and threatening tattoos.

RXlAyx

He didn’t give Wu Jin any opportunity to refuse. It seemed that he’d been in a top position for a long time, and he had the look of the wilderness in his eyes.

 

The rose stem was smooth and flat, the sharp thorns cut off with precise knife work.

“I’m sorry. I should have come to pick you up earlier.” He spoke to Wu Jin. JSzbr3

 

Wu Jin was stunned silly, “I-I don’t know you… you-you’re…”

 

The black rose was stuffed into Wu Jin’s hands, and the man suddenly held onto him. The youth’s unprepared right hand was imprinted with a red mark. p28 5Y

The man leaned over to give it a kiss. Wu Jin shrank back. It felt like the back of his hand had been brushed by a snake.

 

Wu Jin wanted to withdraw, but he was pulled on tightly by a huge force and couldn’t break free. At this time, his terminal beeped noisily––

  afFhDS

“Holy shit!” The fans behind them who’d originally been watching the gossip unfold were staring so hard their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. After that came the loud shouts from some of the young girls, “There’s-there’s-there’s a stalker fan ahhhh! Save Little Witch ahhhh!!”

The crowd in the Snow Leopard Building was suddenly disturbed as four or five security guards who’d been maintaining the line suddenly rushed in one after another, but someone was even faster than they were.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

There was a boom! CnvwPG

The dust in the air split apart, and it appeared that some hard object had just been broken. The security guards’ first reaction was to push the fans back, and when they looked up again, their mouths dropped open––

 

Wei Shi stood coldly in front of Wu Jin, his body upright and powerful like a sharp blade.

The long table that was used for autographs had been kicked over by Wei Shi, and the man who’d originally held onto Wu Jin was forced to withdraw his hand and dodge. The table, chair, paper, signature pen, and other debris was scattered all over the ground as Wei Shi stood directly in front of the other person and blocked Wu Jin strictly behind him. Ti3G B

 

The little sister closest to them sucked in a breath of cold air.

She’d never seen Contestant Wei get angry before, and from such a close distance, it left her trembling and shivering.

“Remember, my name is Shao Yu.”

Wei Shi didn’t hesitate to throw a punch. Shao Yu seemed to know what he would do, and their attacks smashed together like colliding mountains. Wei Shi made use of his real strength, and Shao Yu soon grunted and frowned––

Next to him, Wei Yan and Zoe were both approaching at a run. Caesar had directly picked up a chair and was about to drive the man away, while Ming Yao was extremely resourceful, “Take photos! Expose him! Blacklist him!”

 

Shao Yu didn’t linger. He turned away from the crowd and disappeared. a9VR8U

Wei Yan had only just gotten close and could only see the back of his figure, but his body suddenly trembled.

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Inside the Snow Leopard Building, the <Popular Youth> logistics team and Crosson staff all ran out one after another. Fans finally recovered from the shock and started touting, “Scarf CP real love”, “A knight saves Little Witch”, and so on. Many even took out their terminals to snap pictures of the two of them standing together––

Wei Shi had previously refused to attend the handshake event. It appeared that he’d only just removed his combat uniform, and the top three buttons of his white shirt were undone. His body still carried a murderous aura from the fight just now. crmtbo

 

He was expressionless as he turned, protecting Wu Jin in front of the cameras and escorting him inside the building. He didn’t respond to the shouts around him and only nodded at Zoe, who looked on with worry from a distance.

Before the two of them disappeared into the building, the little fan closest to them saw Wu Jin obediently hand over the right hand that had been pinched…

  W53ehG

The fans lining up outside the building exploded.

“God Wei is too handsome, his boyfriend powers are maxed out ahhhh––Scarf is REAL, I’m going to burst out in tears!”

“Calling out to support God Wei! He’s so righteous, I feel such heartache for my son and want to stroke Little Witch’s soft curls. It was so scary! Silly Little Witch, if he dares to attack you, you don’t have to concern yourself about whether or not he’s a fan, just punch him and be done with it!”

“Everyone stand up for Little Witch! I’m not pushing the CP, but Contestant Wei was really damn cool––” m0cLtG

 

“Question! Director, will Little Witch’s handshake event continue?” Some fans inquired timidly.

 

The Crosson program producer finally came over, panting for breath. He’d been so scared that he almost ended up putting his cigarette butt into his mouth. He gestured to everyone, apologized, then directly called Wu Jin on his terminal, “… Little Witch, are you okay? Yes, there’s still a line. We sent out over 300 handshake coupons, here…” amRQ6Z

The communication ended. The program producer sighed in relief, “It’s fine, just wait a few minutes!”

 

The crowd was once again in high spirits.

Five minutes later, Wu Jin pulled his small stool back to his seat again and continued to seriously sign autographs for his fans. There was now an additional expressionless big boss keeping watch beside him. 9PbvCd

The program group was intimidated by Contestant Wei’s aura and quickly moved a table nearby, adding a small card that said, ‘Not participating in the handshake event’.

 

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“……” Wu Jin snuck a glance at the big boss who was practically labelled ‘not for sale’.

Thoughts flickered through his mind. dL6zgr

Shao Yu. The first of the three genetically modified in the Federal institute, the R-Code Team captain who’d held up a championship cup on the White Moonlight poster wall.

He’d defected to the Empire four years ago.

 

After identifying who Shao Yu was, Wu Jin’s mind was full of ‘imperial scientific research institution arresting an illegal immigrant, sending Shao Yu to capture a certain Wu for dissection and experimentation’… D0F6hp

However, he’d been in a state of confusion ever since he’d transmigrated over. How could Shao Yu know about that? The ‘match’ he mentioned, what did that mean?

 

Wu Jin obediently signed another autograph for a fan. The little fan looked at the Wu Jin’s right hand that had been wrapped up like a giant marshmallow and then timidly turned to the cold and distant Wei Shi, “God Wei, can you sign too…”

Wei Shi glanced at Wu Jin. WO4PeG

 

“!!!” Wu Jin bounced up, the ‘dissection and research’, ‘being cut into slices and distributed evenly’, ‘marbled meat Little Witch’ that had been running through his mind disappearing instantly.

Wei Shi set down the <A Tale of Two Cities> that was half finished, and signed his name with bold strokes after Wu Jin’s signature. The character ‘Wei’ overlapped with the lines of Wu Jin’s name.

That night.

The handshake event ended. The contestants crammed in a few mouthfuls of dinner and then boarded the bus back to the Crosson Base.

When Wu Jin boarded the bus, the director was reporting to the program producer in a low voice, “Six cameras, plus the video recording that the fans provided, yet we were shocked to find that none of them captured the stalker fan’s full face… how could all the cameras have problems at the same time, or maybe he somehow adjusted the angle…”

Outside the parking lot, Red reported, “Brother Wei, it’s my fault, I wasn’t able to follow.”

Wei Shi glanced down at the terminal and didn’t comment.

The bus floated back slowly, drifting silently in the night wind. u 2m5Q

The lights outside the window were neon bright, and most of the players were sleeping. Wei Shi sat beside Wu Jin, his palm covering Wu Jin’s hand that had been wrapped into a fat ball both inside and outside.

“It should be fine now!” Wu Jin whispered quietly.

 

The bandages were unwrapped, and his hand was as good as new. EWvGlY

Wu Jin was satisfied, patting with the front of his hand, then turning to do the same with the back.

Wei Shi, who’d just been patted on the thigh, “……”

 

Wu Jin thought about it. Shao Yu and the big boss were on the same level. If he was caught while he was out alone, he would be taken back to be sliced up. It was better to follow behind the big boss like a fox masquerading as a tiger… UwyOpx

Wei Shi commanded, “Go with me to Floating City tomorrow. Prepare for the Autumn Festival.”

Wu Jin: “!” Awesome!

 

Wu Jin relaxed, but then he unexpectedly found his hand pinched by the big boss. eOVLz4

The man’s pupils were deep and indifferent. In the darkened bus, a flicker of predatory light glinted in his eyes, like a beast whose territory had been invaded.

 

Wei Shi: “That Shao Yu. What did you think.”

Only now did Wu Jin think of how Shao Yu seemed to have licked his hand. However, Shao Yu wasn’t a girl, wait, that wasn’t right, the big boss wasn’t a straight man, oh right, he wasn’t straight either… wPiYh6

 

Wu Jin stated his position clearly, “He’s a pervert!”

Wei Shi nodded, a cold light flashing across his eyes.

The bus landed slowly at the Crosson Base.

The players woke up and rubbed their sleepy eyes, but even before they could recover, Caesar directed the crowd’s mood, “Is there anything to eat, is there anything to eat!”

Wu Jin couldn’t help but join in with the stream of happy trainees, “Is there anything to eat… the program producer said that the canteen is making a late night snack! Brother Wei, what do you want to eat––”

  Zh61Fb

Wei Shi made a sound of acknowledgement and glanced down at his terminal.

On the map, outside the Crosson Show, there was a red dot 200 kilometers away.

 

A few hours ago, he’d glued a tracker onto the other party’s skin when he hit Shao Yu with his fist. jwHFto

Wei Shi ordered, “Just save me something.”

Wu Jin: “Alright, where are you going––”

 

Wei Shi left the bus and headed towards the luxury suspension car. enyG6B

The man opened up the trunk, picked out some metal parts at random, and then raised his hand indifferently to indicate that Wu Jin didn’t need to concern himself over it.

 

Wu Jin squeaked, then watched as the big boss drove away.

Then, he happily followed everyone else and rushed towards the canteen. qzlx1w

He snatched up six handheld wraps all at once.

At the White Moonlight long table.

Zoe was serious as he summed up Secretary Qu’s latest proposal for ‘Little Witch protection measures’. Halfway through, he suddenly looked at Wu Jin, “How did you manage to choke while eating a wrap?” CKjrYI

 

Wu Jin: “……”

Wu Jin: “!!!”

  YVlEGv

He suddenly remembered that the last time when he’d ridden in the big boss’s suspension car, the trunk had been full of metal parts.

 

He’d only ever seen the big boss assemble one kind of thing from those parts.

Guns. kDhl R


Juurensha: Everyone in full mobilization mode to protect Little Witch!

  1. Thanks for the chapter!

    I wonder if Little Witch truly transmigrated from the past? For all we know, his memories could have been tampered with.

  2. Baby Wu Jin had a delayed reaction 😂😂😂 Shao Yu being, rightfully, labeled as a creep be prepared. Boss Wei is coming for your ass!!! 😤😡👿😈

  3. Yo, was this pervert seriously try to stage a kidnapping attempt on the bunny spirit!?!?!! I’d raise hell too, yano.

    Thank you for the chapter!!!!!

  4. Aaaaaah it’s action time on big boss’ side! 😍 And seriously that Shao Yu is really a pervert 😤

    Thanks for the translations~

  5. Stress eating maybe? 😆

    Yea everyone is out to protect Little witch, arent they cute..!!! 💓

    Also I personaly think having those in a car trunk & assemble yourself a gun only whenever you need to is super cool XD (altho Im not really sure how that will work in RL)

    (I low key still think that Shao Yu is cool & slightly feels bad for him since hes also backed in a corner but does crazy desperate measures 😂)

    Thanks for the chapter as always 💕

  6. I forgot the password to my previous account ( Neko Neko Angell) and I made a new one just to read this fluff. Ahh my heart is satisfied now😇😇😘

  7. Wu Jin said the right words XD!! YES HE’S A PERVERT

    I especially hate the moment which often happen in shoujo manga, when the heroine got kidnapped. Like fuc all those people who thought that they could just rightfully take someone away. LIKE NO

    SHAO YU EVEN LICK LITTLE WITCH’S HAND??

    LICK?????

    /burn him aliv—-

    I’m trying to think of Wu Jin rubbing the disgusting thing off his hand by rubbing it on Big Boss’ thigh (…) heh

    Thank you for the chapter~

  8. hhh SY seems like he’s after a scabbard to sacrifice or something, total psycho ^^; [thank you for the chapter ✨❤️ ]

  9. Suddenly wondering if Wu Jin being a ‘scabbard’ was actually for the purpose of sheathing Shao Yu (like, the original intentions of whoever made him into a ‘scabbard’), and that’s why he claims they’re a ‘match’.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  10. Thanks for the chapter! Didn’t Dr Song say at the end of the save WS arc that Wu Jin could possibly be a universal scabbard for any of the locked modified? He’s extremely compatible with WS, but could help break the emotional lock for anyone… I was ready to be sympathetic towards Shao Yu, but then they revealed that he enjoyed inflicting pain on everyone, including himself. That would argue he’s incredibly messed up beyond expectation. The others who have emotional locks don’t seem to display the same psychopathy…

  11. Lol I don’t think Wujin ate 6 wraps. Didnt Boss Wei told him to save some for him? Haha

  12. my favorite part is that he only realizes wei shi’s gonna fite while in the middle of eating a wrap

  13. Wraps are also my favorite, I’d eat 6 wraps if I had the appetite of a guy 😂

    I’m so worried about Wu Jin and his deal with Shao Yu the pervert 😥 It’s a good thing Wei Shi is there

  14. ayooo shao yu can suck my ass but like tq for letting me see everyone care for wu jin. twas great 👍🏻 the fans, the staff, wei shi, wei yan, zoe, caesar, ming yao… it was really nice to see everyone protective over rabbit xiao wu heheh

  15. Shao Yu seemed to think Little Witch was created for him? I wonder if that’s true, but he bonded with Wei Shi instead 🤔. So many mysteries!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  16. so many swords but only one scabbard, if only one sword can be saved, what about the others? are they going to be discarded? would wei shi even allowed wu jin to unlocked the emotional lock for the other modified humans?

    • I think the “key” can unlock other people not only one person. I think the hint was given when the doctor gave the explanation that little witch could absorb the negative emotions without overflowing and that’s why he was so fine after going through the therapy

      • Yes. They said, there can be other scabbard, like how Researcher Song trained the companion pets to be build as scabbard for each patient. But Wu Jin is labelled as Master Key, not an ordinary scabbard. As a Master Key, Wu Jin is compatible with many ‘swords’. If you haven’t realised, Mao Dongqing spoke more words towads Lil Witch too than his other collagues and brother. So, in a sense, if Wu Jin is willing, he can help with Mao Dongqing and the rest of Floating City patients with emotional lock. But from Shao Yu’s word, Wu Jin original existent is more distorted. He should be the Master Key that is build to be exclusively for Shao Yu. Meaning they made him obedient with this present temperament to be matched with Shao Yu. While all other swords can only look up too, and be controlled by the higher up & Shao Yu at their disposal because their salvation is in their hand, so they will be obedient for the sake of a little relieve later. I think this is the original direction the key and emotional locks should work. Sick, I know. As what Shao Yu and his parents are.
  17. Wei Shi didn’t hesitate to throw a punch….

    Next to him, Wei Yan and Zoe were both approaching at a run. Caesar had directly picked up a chair and was about to drive the man away, while Ming Yao was extremely resourceful, “Take photos! Expose him! Blacklist him!”

    awee his whole family immediately tried to protect him.

    Considering even Wei Yan, who shows no emotion, trembled when he saw shao yus back…that guys is trouble

  18. I thought our rabbit spirit had been corrupted, not even batting eyes at Brother Wei assembling guns to hunt a pest, even bouncing and skipping. Turned out he just had delayed reaction 😂😂.

  19. ~OwO~ wow Wu Jin’s appetite must be super good 6 wraps is a large amount , and no worries little witch nobody is going to dissect you or make you into little witch marbled meat.

  20. I think little witch experience in modern world is real, maybe he’s actually from this era but he was transferred back in time to 2018 and got no memory of the time he spent in r base. That’s why there was a memory of him without a guardian and getting sold off and protected by the policewoman in modern world.
