Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? Book 04 Chapter 051: My Wife, I’m Your Husband

“…Liz, do you know, learning to doubt others is very important. However, don’t doubt me at this crucial moment. I’m here to help you.”

“You say you are from the future. What proof do you have?”

“…” Proof? Where would Chen Heng find proof? This was a lie in the first place.

“Indeed, you don’t have any, right? Coming from the future is impossible in the first place.” After saying that, Nightingale buried her head back in her legs once more.

Proof? Where would Chen Heng find proof? Ah! Got it! Since I don’t have proof, I can just fabricate one. Anyway, this is an illusion; I can create something with my Will Energy.

Chen Heng looked at Liz and found her shutting herself off from the world rather than looking at him, so he manifested a picture of Nightingale and himself. “Liz, look. This is a picture we took in the future.” He proffered it to Nightingale in the cage.

Chen Heng and Nightingale appeared extremely intimate in this picture. He had not created this picture out of nothing but drawn inspiration from a group picture of Shining, Nearl, and Nightingale he saw in her room. Shining and Nightingale were intimately holding hands, sitting on a bench in a park, while Nearl stood behind the two.

Chen Heng had swapped Shining for himself and removed Nearl. After all, Liz did not know those two yet.

“This…”

Nightingale extended her hand out of the cage and took the picture. Alright, it’s proven. She can extend her hand out of the cage, although I can’t.

“Look. Here is the evidence. We will go to a place called Rhodes Island in the future, and Nightingale, the name I called you by earlier, is your codename.”

“Why do we look so…intimate in this picture? How are we related?”

What nonsense? How could they not be intimate? The original person there was Shining. Shining and Nightingale were practically sticking to each other. Who would believe they were not close upon seeing this? However, this made it hard for Chen Heng to explain.

“We are lovers.” Chen Heng decided to get creative and do his best to sway her. Even if Nightingale kept her memories after leaving this place, he could just explain it as an emergency. Shining would not blame him, right?

“Lovers?” Nightingale gave Chen Heng a suspicious gaze as she sat in the cage.

“That’s right, that’s right. Look at the photo again. This is a scene from when we carried out a mission among some ruins.” Chen Heng now produced a photo of the two when they were in Chernobog. This was from when he spatial jumped with her, but instead of him holding her sleeve, he changed it to them holding hands.

“…” Nightingale found the first photo a little strange, but she felt something upon seeing the second. Could the two of us really be…lovers?

“Liz, you have to believe me. If we were not lovers, why would I travel through time to rescue you? If you don’t quickly come with me, your legs will suffer severe injury, according to the original timeline. Look, this is a picture of me massaging your legs.”

Chen Heng took out another picture of himself from when he examined Nightingale’s leg for the first time. He had not altered this picture.

Chen Heng’s series of moves stupefied Nightingale. Now, she was 80 percent convinced.

“My wife, quickly pass me the key. I’ll bring you out.”

“Wi-wife…? What are you saying?” Nightingale became flustered upon hearing the word “wife.” Right now, she was still a child, and someone suddenly called her his wife.

“We are lovers in the future, but you are very shy, so you never let me call you Wife in front of others. However, there is no one else here. Look, I traveled to the past to rescue you. What’s wrong with calling you Wife? Come, Liz, call me Husband.”

Chen Heng had already gone full creative, so he teased and flirted with her with all his might. In any case, he did this to save her. Since his motive was good, the process was not important.

“Hus…Husband?” Nightingale said doubtfully, and her face flushed red.

“Good. Wife, pass me the key. I’ll bring you out.”

“…” Nightingale never expected Chen Heng to be so daring. She did not know what to say.

“After I rescue you, you won’t have those severe injuries in the future. When I return to the future, I’ll ask Shining to witness our wedding.”

“Shining?” Nightingale suddenly heard a name that provoked a response in her. She did not know this person, but hearing this name made her feel incredibly strange for some reason.

“That’s right, Shining. She is the person who originally rescued you. After I rescue you, I’ll pass you to her. At the same time, she is the person who introduced me to you, and she is like half a mother to you. This is her picture. Be it the future or current you, you would feel extremely intimate with her.”

Chen Heng manifested Shining’s photo and handed it to Nightingale.

As Nightingale looked at Shining’s picture, she felt a sense of intimacy, a motherly affection.

Now, she believed Chen Heng. However, the lovers’ relationship…

“My wife, how is it? Do you feel anything?”

“I do.”

“Do you believe me now?”

“Since you came to help me, I believe you. However, about being lovers…”

“There’s no need to doubt that. Look at how comfortable I am calling you Wife. If we didn’t have such a relationship, could it sound so natural? How could it not be natural?” Chen Heng called Nightingale, Shining, and Skadi his waifus every day.

Ah! Men…

“However, you still aren’t very comfortable with calling me Husband. There’s a reason for this. Even in the future, you are rather shy. You rarely call me Husband. So, even when there’s no one around, you…”

“I, what?”

“Liz, can you call me Husband again on account of my traveling through time to rescue you? Just once.”

“…Husband.” Nightingale endured her shyness and said the word. Perhaps Chen Heng’s method had successfully tricked Nightingale and moved her.

Nightingale’s voice was especially soft, but who was Chen Heng? He was not deaf and could clearly hear it.

Although Chen Heng felt slightly embarrassed at tricking a teenage Nightingale, he felt excited more than that.

Putting everything aside, with just this word, Chen Heng had not given away his medicinal pill for nothing nor entered the heart maze for nothing.
