PANT - Chapter 40
Chapter 40
【Holy crap, when did she buy this dress! What did I miss during the live stream!】
【This fiery red dress is the same color as Shi Ning’s hair, sob sob. For some reason, I’m shipping them again!!】
【A cool beauty in a stunning red dress. This cold sexiness is hitting me right in the face, and I don’t know what to do.】
【I finally understand why Shi Ning insisted on buying those high heels. Oh, mama, my nose is bleeding~~~】
【Those legs, that waist, that chest, that aura… Sister Su, I’m begging you, please wear fewer baggy shirts and jeans!! Wear more dresses…】
【Sister Su can wear whatever she likes! She looks good in anything!】
Yes.
Beautiful.
So beautiful it could even be described as breathtaking.
That was probably the first thought that crossed Shi Ning’s mind when she turned from the balcony and saw Su Tianxue leaning against the doorframe.
It was as if she had been bewitched, or perhaps she had received a summons from the goddess of beauty. By the time she realized it, she had already started walking forward.
Her brain and thoughts were no longer under her control, guided only by the woman before her.
It wasn’t that she had never seen a beautiful woman before. No matter how charming a girl was, Shi Ning would never lose control like this.
When faced with Su Tianxue, for no reason at all, rationality always took a backseat to other factors. It made her feel terrified, yet she found it impossible to stop.
She walked to the entrance of the walk-in closet and stopped a foot away from Su Tianxue.
Shi Ning asked in a hoarse voice, “Why did you suddenly change into it?”
Su Tianxue: “Does it not look good?”
Shi Ning: “It looks good.”
The corner of Su Tianxue’s brow lifted slightly. “Then I’ll go change out of it now that you’ve seen it.”
Shi Ning didn’t stop her, watching as Su Tianxue turned and walked back into the room.
Su Tianxue couldn’t walk in heels, so her first move was to lift her foot and kick them off, then walk inside barefoot.
The motion was chic, carrying a hint of a sharp aura.
Then Shi Ning discovered that even Su Tianxue’s back was beautiful.
The red dress made her back look even fairer. The cut of the skirt at her waist was very low, and looking down, one could see the dimples of her lower back.
A tiny shadow was cast on her skin.
Shi Ning still remembered that twenty minutes ago, her hand had touched that spot, and when she used force, she had pinched it hard.
Su Tianxue was a bit ticklish.
Whenever her waist dimples were touched, she would instinctively flinch away.
When Su Tianxue walked, her back was very straight. She wasn’t the seductive type of woman; she didn’t sway her hips or walk with a bewitching gait. Every step forward was firm and determined.
And every step walked straight into Shi Ning’s heart.
After looking her fill, she raised her lips into a slight smile, reached out, and gently tugged on the sash at the back of Su Tianxue’s dress.
Su Tianxue felt the pull from behind and turned her head, her eyes doing the talking.
Su Tianxue: What are you doing?
Shi Ning followed the sash, pulling it up bit by bit. Her movements were gentle, as if she were tugging on something light and airy.
Seeing that she wouldn’t let go, Su Tianxue had no choice but to speak. “What are you doing?”
Shi Ning tilted her head. “Su Tianxue, you don’t really think that trying on clothes is just about trying on clothes, do you?”
Of course, Su Tianxue wasn’t that naive.
But she hadn’t expected Shi Ning to be so bold.
The cameras were right outside.
Su Tianxue: “Stop messing around.”
Shi Ning’s fingertips were like a tiny sprite climbing upward, leaping bit by bit across a snowy field, light and nimble as it ascended.
Su Tianxue felt as if a feather were gently brushing against her spine.
Shi Ning’s voice followed. “Su Tianxue, I want to kiss you.”
Su Tianxue didn’t speak.
Shi Ning also remained silent.
Silence brewed. The red sash was about to be wrapped several times around Shi Ning’s hand, winding and winding without end.
Shi Ning wasn’t in a hurry.
She was very patient.
After a long moment, Su Tianxue said, “Are you going to kiss me or not?”
Shi Ning laughed. “I thought you hadn’t agreed.”
Su Tianxue: “Since when did you become so polite and obedient?”
Shi Ning moved closer, her hand wrapping around Su Tianxue’s waist. “Just now.”
The kiss fell like a snowflake, gentle and soft, leaving warmth and moisture on the side of Su Tianxue’s neck.
【Fuck, why the hell is this a camera blind spot??】
【So, so, what happened after Shi Ning went inside??】
【We can’t see again??】
【You can’t just leave us hanging like this, sob sob!! I’m a premium VIP!! Director, how could you do this to me!! Can’t you remotely control the camera!! Show me what’s happening in the walk-in closet!】
【It is I! It is I who insists on watching them kiss!! Cyber police, arrest me!! Take me away!! Just let the director release this clip!!】
Amidst the frantic howls of the bullet comments, Shi Ning appeared.
The camera could only capture the entrance of the walk-in closet.
In the frame, Shi Ning walked out, bent down, hooked the strap of a high heel with her finger, and carried the shoe back inside.
【Shi Ning, if you have the guts, pull your wife out to the doorway to kiss.】
【What are you getting the high heel for?? What are you going to do??】
【There are several kinds of wind in the world: strong wind, gale, tornado, and me losing my goddamn mind. Director, move the camera, save my life.】
The director stared at the bullet comments, her face numb.
A staff member asked cautiously, “Director, should we really not just cut the live stream? If this goes on…”
I feel like our show will be single-handedly responsible for the local mental asylum meeting its KPI ahead of schedule and filling all its beds!
The director said, “Believe it or not, if we cut the stream now, these people will go even crazier.”
The staff member: “…”
The staff member: “Then I’ll just go calm down.”
The director grunted in agreement, a massive headache brewing. She pinched the philtrum below her nose, wondering whether having her own boss as a guest was a good thing or a bad thing.
Sometimes, she really worried that if the entire show got taken off the air, it would be entirely Shi Ning’s fault!!
The scene was silent.
Inside the walk-in closet, Su Tianxue watched, bewildered, as Shi Ning walked back in with the high heel.
Su Tianxue: “?”
Shi Ning knelt and gently put the high heel on Su Tianxue’s foot.
After fastening the strap for her, Shi Ning’s fingertips trailed upward. She finally stood up and, to Su Tianxue’s astonishment, reached out, attempting to quickly press her against the closet mirror.
Su Tianxue began to resist instinctively. Her hands were caught, but her feet were still free. She didn’t hesitate to kick at Shi Ning with her heeled foot.
Shi Ning grabbed her ankle. It was so fragile, as if a firm grip would shatter it completely.
Su Tianxue lowered her voice. “Let go.”
Shi Ning’s fingertips moved like they were playing a piano, inching their way up from the ankle to the woman’s calf.
The high heel hung from her foot, loose and precarious, on the verge of falling.
“I won’t.” Shi Ning’s smile held a hint of mischief. “This is my reward.”
Su Tianxue was so angry she laughed. “Since when did you have a reward?”
Shi Ning blinked. “Just now, when you put on the dress and heels for me.”
Su Tianxue: “This isn’t a reward.”
Shi Ning: “Then what is it?”
Shi Ning was never one to press for answers, but at this moment, she wanted to understand Su Tianxue’s reason for doing this.
Or rather, she wanted to make Su Tianxue understand her own reason for doing this.
Shi Ning gently set Su Tianxue’s leg down. Pressing against her from behind, she rested her chin on Su Tianxue’s neck and asked again, “Wife, didn’t you say you didn’t want to? Why did you change into it then?”
The woman’s breath sprayed against Su Tianxue’s neck as she spoke—hot and soft, yet like a tiny sun shining into Su Tianxue’s heart, making her feel a little anxious and a little lost.
Su Tianxue seemed to give up resisting in that instant. Her face was pressed against the mirror, her eyes lowered as she said simply, “I just felt like doing it, so I did.”
As for why, she hadn’t figured it out either.
Perhaps it was because she was feeling irritable while reading and needed a distraction. Or maybe she thought of the dress, a shade of red she had never worn before, and wanted to try it.
In any case, Su Tianxue didn’t believe that her act of putting on the dress was a reward for Shi Ning.
At most, it was a moment of weakness.
But she had no intention of doing it again with her in the dressing room.
What happened in the bathroom just now had been crazy enough.
Su Tianxue’s face was cold, and she said nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Ning felt helpless.
Can’t rush it.
She told herself not to rush.
Someone like Su Tianxue wasn’t a child who couldn’t figure out her own feelings. Given time, perhaps one day, she would understand. Pushing too hard now might just push her further away.
It was also possible that by the time Su Tianxue realized it, she would have already lost interest in her.
A three-minute passion was her usual attitude.
Shi Ning didn’t have enough confidence in herself either.
If it were anyone else, they’d just date if they were dating, and make the relationship official if it was official. The worst that could happen was realizing halfway through that they didn’t like the person that much or weren’t compatible, and they could just break up directly. It wasn’t like anyone in this damn world couldn’t live without someone else.
But…
Shi Ning didn’t want that with Su Tianxue.
Rather than start a romance that would end almost immediately, it was better to continue hiding under the guise of a contract marriage.
Without promises, there would be no moment of breaking them.
Shi Ning reined in her thoughts and gently kissed Su Tianxue’s ear.
Her earlobe was round and delicate, like a small pearl.
And Shi Ning was someone who cherished pearls.
There were many ways to play with a pearl.
After the pearl had become almost glistening, Shi Ning let Su Tianxue go.
She used the last of her rationality to restrain all her thoughts.
Shi Ning: “I’ll go get your pajamas.”
Su Tianxue grabbed her hand. She turned from facing the mirror to having her back against it, then pulled Shi Ning by the collar, pushed her against the wardrobe, and initiated a kiss.
Shi Ning was surprised, but she couldn’t help but lose herself in the kiss.
It was both tender and fierce.
Just as Shi Ning was about to do something, she suddenly found her hands were tied.
Looking up, the woman who had been so proactive just a moment ago now had a delicate brow raised on her cool face.
Su Tianxue: “You can just stay here.”
It turned out that while they were kissing, Su Tianxue had actually ripped the sash right off her red dress.
The red dress on her body fell in an instant, pooling on the floor like burnt-out flames or decadent ashes. It was a beautiful dress, but without Su Tianxue, it became much less eye-catching.
The woman stood steadily, having kicked the high heels aside.
Even in plain underwear, the pride on her cold, beautiful face was undeniable.
The sash, red like threads of fate, was wrapped around Shi Ning’s wrists, binding her tightly to the wardrobe handle.
Shi Ning moved a little, glanced back, and said helplessly, “Wife, do you have to be so cruel?”
Su Tianxue smiled. “It’s impolite not to reciprocate.”
She returned the same sentence to her.
Shi Ning: “This tight?”
Su Tianxue: “Didn’t you get loose last time?”
She wasn’t an idiot; she’d learned her lesson and tied it tighter.
Su Tianxue: “You just stay here for a while.”
Shi Ning wailed, “No, wife, how can you be so heartless?”
Su Tianxue paused for a moment. “A woman who isn’t ruthless can’t secure her position.”
Shi Ning: “…”
Fine.
Just let everyone get infected by Xin Ya.
Shi Ning said pitifully, “Sob, sob, wife, please let me go, okay?”
【What happened??】
【Why is Shi Ning begging for mercy!!!】
【Please, can some kind soul go and secretly get us footage from other camera angles!!! I really want to see!!】
【If you have the guts to live stream, then you should have the guts to show everything. What’s the point of showing us empty air!!】
【Screaming… Roaring… Raging… Aaaah!】
【One of the world’s top ten unsolved mysteries: Why was Shi Ning begging for mercy in the walk-in closet?】
Su Tianxue completely ignored Shi Ning’s pleas. She picked up the pajamas hanging on a hook on the wall and began to change right in front of her.
Shi Ning leaned against the wardrobe door, watching her.
There were marks she had left on Su Tianxue’s body.
Just as Su Tianxue raised her hand to button her pajamas, Shi Ning suddenly spoke. “Su Tianxue.”
Su Tianxue: “Hm?”
Shi Ning: “I suddenly feel like meeting you might have been arranged by fate.”
Su Tianxue: “………?”
What kind of crazy is this woman on now?
Though both her hands were tied to the wardrobe handle, Shi Ning still held her head high, looking spirited as she smiled. “I can’t get an Omega pregnant, and neither can you. Don’t you think this means heaven wants us to be together?”
Su Tianxue looked at Shi Ning as if she were a lunatic. “This only means that both of our physiological functions have developed abnormally.”
Shi Ning pouted. “Wife, you’re so heartless, so cold, so unromantic.”
Su Tianxue finished buttoning her pajamas and walked toward Shi Ning.
She was like a queen approaching her throne, or a monarch approaching her knight. She tugged on Shi Ning’s collar and, amidst her confused expression, placed a light kiss on her lips.
Just as Shi Ning was lost in the moment, Su Tianxue smiled faintly, raised her hand, and patted her cheek. “I can be even more heartless and even colder.”
After doing all this, she turned and walked away with a chic flair, not caring about anything else.
Though she was barefoot on the floor, she walked as if she were treading on clouds.
【Grandma!! The main character of the stream you’ve been waiting for has finally appeared!!】
【Sister Su changed her clothes! Hahaha!! I get it!!】
【Sister Su looks like she hasn’t even taken off her makeup. Her lips are red, her teeth are white, and her face looks like she’s wearing blush. So, so beautiful, I love it.】
【Indeed, hormones and estrogen are a woman’s best beauty treatment.】
【Huh? I’m a newbie, I don’t understand anything. What are you guys talking about?】
【There, there, newbie. It’s recommended that minors don’t watch this show.】
In the walk-in closet, Shi Ning rested her head against the wardrobe door, watching Su Tianxue leave until her figure had completely disappeared. Only then did Shi Ning shed her pitiful, pleading, and coquettish demeanor. She licked the corner of her lips, and with a slight shake of her hands, her wrists, which had been tied by Su Tianxue, were free.
The red sash fell to the floor, lying silently and motionlessly, just like the dress.
Thinking about what Su Tianxue had just done, Shi Ning couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand, a wanton smile spreading across her face.
She loved it.
The Su Tianxue from just now, the one who knew how to use a little trick to punish her—she loved that Su Tianxue too.
Shi Ning bent down, picked up the dress from the floor, and collected the sash.
One day.
Shi Ning thought, I’ll make sure this red sash is returned to its rightful owner.
After tidying everything up, Shi Ning went out and found that Su Tianxue was already in bed.
She didn’t know if she was really asleep. The woman had her back to her, wrapped in the covers.
Shi Ning tiptoed over, got into bed, and after pulling the covers over herself, she leaned down and kissed Su Tianxue’s forehead.
“Good night,” Shi Ning whispered.
She thought she wouldn’t get a response.
Until she turned over and reached for the switch on the wall.
With a click, just as the lights went out completely, Su Tianxue’s faint voice came from the darkness.
She said, “Good night.”
Shi Ning hid under the covers, a satisfied smile on her face.
On her bedside table, the small sculpture of the Roche limit that Su Tianxue had placed there was emitting a faint glow in the night.
It turned out the sculpture contained glow-in-the-dark material. It would only shine when everything else went dark.
It was like two stars, dotted in the pitch-black bedroom.
Shi Ning looked at these two stars and suddenly thought of the meaning of the Roche limit, and then she thought about the timing of when Su Tianxue had given her this object.
It was when she kept failing at the ring toss game, and Su Tianxue had won it.
Su Tianxue must have asked the stall owner to put it there.
Because right after she won it, Xu Lulu had shown up and caused trouble, making Shi Ning forget the question she had wanted to ask at that moment.
She only remembered it now.
Lying next to Su Tianxue, Shi Ning asked in a low voice, “Are you asleep?”
Su Tianxue: “No.”
Shi Ning: “This little sculpture, did you get it specifically for me?”
Su Tianxue: “You liked it.”
Listening to her concise words, Shi Ning lay on her pillow and said, “Your mission today couldn’t have been to give me a gift, could it?”
Su Tianxue: “…”
Shi Ning: “Did I guess right?”
Su Tianxue: “No.”
Shi Ning wanted to say more, but Su Tianxue cut the conversation short.
“I’m going to sleep.”
Shi Ning pouted. “Okay.”
“Then, good night again.”
Neither of them spoke again. Silence, along with the faint glow of the sculpture, fermented in the room.
While Shi Ning was sleeping, Ye Wanlan had just finished handling matters.
As agreed with Shi Ning, she posted all the evidence. She didn’t use Shi Ning’s account but instead published all the information through the Shi Group’s official account.
As soon as the news broke, netizens were all shocked.
【Peerless Beauty O, Paging Online】
Yuan Yuyue: Family, family!!! The hammer of Thor has dropped!!!!
Dongling Mountain’s Lin Zhiling: ………Holy shit???? Shi Ning can’t get an Omega pregnant???
Driver on Akina Road: And she doesn’t even mark people. A friend of mine told me. That’s why I thought Xu Lulu was lying from the start. I never expected this.
Dongling Mountain’s Lin Zhiling: Medically speaking, it’s said that if an Alpha’s grade is too high, it’s difficult for a typical Omega to conceive. It’s a form of genetic self-protection. If a very dominant gene mixes with a more common one, the child’s instability will be very high, and it can easily affect the Omega’s body. That’s why this instinctive limitation exists.
Driver on Akina Road: She’s pretty ruthless, even getting herself sterilized. I agonized for ages just to get my cat neutered.
A Savage Can Also Be a Beauty: Doesn’t that mean Shi Ning will never have children?
Yuan Yuyue: She and Su Tianxue are both Alphas, right? Even if they could both get an Omega pregnant, they can’t get an Alpha pregnant, can they? They don’t have the hardware for that.
Little Cat Doesn’t Eat Fish: LMAO.
Driver on Akina Road: Xu Lulu’s face must be completely swollen from being slapped now.
Yuan Yuyue: I’m speechless. No wonder she kept all that evidence of them getting a hotel room. It turns out this was her plan from the very beginning.
Dongling Mountain’s Lin Zhiling: I saw the threatening text messages that were leaked. Xu Lulu even tried to blackmail Shi Ning with this before.
Driver on Akina Road: All I can say is, Shi Ning has had many ex-girlfriends, but not all of them are Mo Lingyuan. I suspect Shi Ning got sterilized for Mo Lingyuan’s sake.
Little Cat Doesn’t Eat Fish: Who? You mean that top-tier Omega from the Mo family?
Dongling Mountain’s Lin Zhiling: They had a relationship?? How come I’ve never heard of it?
Yuan Yuyue: Weakly raises hand.
Yuan Yuyue: Sister Mo was sort of Shi Ning’s childhood sweetheart, and I think she was also Shi Ning’s first love. She went abroad later and never came back.
Driver on Akina Road: Tsk, is this another white moonlight drama? I heard that when Mo Lingyuan went abroad back then, it was because her gland were injured and she couldn’t get pregnant, so her family sent her away for treatment.
Driver on Akina Road: I was just thinking, is it possible? That Shi Ning had the sterilization surgery because of her.
Yuan Yuyue: Huh??
Yuan Yuyue stared at her phone, her expression blank.
What was going on?
She hadn’t even finished digesting the drama with Xu Lulu, and now there was drama about Mo Lingyuan.
Thinking of Mo Lingyuan.
Yuan Yuyue couldn’t help but recall the first time she saw her.
It was at Shi Ning’s birthday party.
The fifteen-year-old Shi Ning already carried herself with a straight posture, and the aura of a top-tier Alpha after her presentation was even more eye-catching.
Yuan Yuyue had admired Shi Ning since she was young. As a face-con, she was very satisfied with Shi Ning’s looks.
She still remembered that day, she had wanted to go up and greet Shi Ning, but Shi Ning’s attention was never on her. Instead, she was looking toward the door.
When Shi Ning ran to the doorway, there was a genuine smile on her face that Yuan Yuyue had never seen before.
Then she saw another beauty.
It was Mo Lingyuan.
Her older sister had brought her to Shi Ning’s birthday party.
If Shi Ning was like a flame, always burning, full of life, making people want to throw themselves at her like moths to a flame, then Mo Lingyuan was a rose, a rose blooming exquisitely in the summer. She had a delicate, princess-like face, an arrogant and spoiled expression, yet it didn’t make people dislike her. It was as if she was born to be that way.
Yuan Yuyue stood to the side, watching Shi Ning and Mo Lingyuan. At that time, she had secretly thought that the two of them were a perfect match.
A top-tier Alpha and a top-tier Omega.
Even others wanted to make this marriage happen.
In their conversations, Mo Lingyuan’s sister had intended for Shi Ning and Mo Lingyuan to get engaged.
Yuan Yuyue didn’t know what happened after that; she wasn’t qualified to get close enough to see the gossip.
She only knew that in the end, Shi Ning and Mo Lingyuan never got engaged.
But they had a very good relationship.
Until Mo Lingyuan went abroad.
Recalling these things now, Yuan Yuyue couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart. When she matched it with what the information broker, Driver on Akina Road, had said, she felt that those words weren’t entirely illogical nonsense.
Yuan Yuyue’s mind was a mess.
She now had the feeling that a CP she shipped in her childhood had suddenly collided with the CP she was shipping now.
To clear her head, Yuan Yuyue opened Weibo.
Weibo was filled with discussions about Xu Lulu.
Several trending topics had made Xu Lulu a household name.
Countless passersby clicked in, all asking: Who is Xu Lulu?? What did she do?
Then some netizens would reply: The number one honey-trapper, the grandmaster of frame-ups. For a detailed lesson, please see the pictures.
The pictures were all-inclusive, summarizing Xu Lulu’s various outrageous actions.
Some netizens were incredibly sharp-tongued.
@EatingChickenLegsTonight: Xu Lulu, the first person to be buried on the day of her debut.
@YouThere?Cinderella'sHeretoMoochaMeal: Didn’t you want clout? This is clout. Do you like it? :)
The funniest thing was that Shi Ning’s fans and Su Tianxue’s fans, two groups that usually couldn’t stop arguing and could bicker for 180 floors about who wasn’t good enough for whom, were now more united than the CP fans when trouble struck.
As soon as the tables turned, they started spamming messages everywhere. The ones with strong fighting power directly opened fire on Xu Lulu’s Weibo.
Yuan Yuyue: ……I don’t get it.
It’s one thing for Shi Ning and Su Tianxue to have fans, but why are there solo stans from watching a romance show??
While catching up on the drama, Yuan Yuyue casually clicked into the super-topic of these solo stans to appreciate the situation.
Shi Ning’s solo stans, the Little Clocks, expressed: I can’t see how Su Tianxue likes Shi Ning at all. Plus, she has no money and wears a cold face all day. Does she think she’s a princess? Hope they break up soon!! If you don’t cherish good things, please leave them for us Omegas.
Su Tianxue’s solo stans, the Little Snowflakes, expressed: The hell? Besides a pretty face, a little money, and some power, what other good qualities does this Shi Ning have? She doesn’t even have her own career. Her spiritual world is completely incompatible with our Sister Su. Can’t you see Sister Su has nothing to talk about with her? Break up, break up! Divorce, divorce! We Omegas will protect Sister Su!
The most ridiculous thing was that under every solo stan’s post, there would be CP fans.
@FirstTimeSeeingSnowIsReal: They are a real couple certified by the Civil Affairs Bureau, nationally recognized. Who are you? Are you guys crazy! You can even become solo stans from watching a romance show??
@YouGuysMustBeHappy: Whether they’re in love, happy, or joyful, only they themselves know. Can you stop spreading your glass-hearted negativity all day long.
Seeing that another argument was about to start, Yuan Yuyue silently gave the CP fans several likes before turning off her screen.
Mm.
This online world was too complicated.
She should probably get some rest first.
Yuan Yuyue fell asleep, but Xu Lulu couldn’t.
Ever since the situation had reversed, she had been constantly cursed at. All the things she had hoped would happen to Shi Ning were now happening to her.
Her private messages were filled with vicious words.
Sentence after sentence, like knives, they all cut into Xu Lulu’s heart.
Ugly and piercing.
The business deals she had received and the PR contacts she had added in the afternoon after exposing Shi Ning had all silently deleted her. Some even used their work accounts to express their dissatisfaction with her.
Xu Lulu knew that her path as an internet celebrity had come to an end.
She had wanted to ride the wave of popularity, but she never expected to be buried alive instead.
Xu Lulu had no choice but to call W.
From the phone came a woman’s lazy and impatient voice.
“Hello?”
Xu Lulu quickly said, “W, hello, it’s me, Xu Lulu.”
“Uh-huh?”
Xu Lulu: “I-I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Can you help me?”
W laughed, her laughter filled with mockery.
W: “Why should I help you?”
Xu Lulu: “I only did this because I listened to you. Now that things have become like this, I think, since we’re in the same boat, we should—”
W: “Who’s in the same boat as you?”
The woman’s voice was heartless and harsh. “Xu Lulu, you’re just a stray dog on the street. I saw you were useful and fed you a couple of bites of meat. That doesn’t mean you’re my house dog, nor does it mean I’m responsible for you when you get into trouble. I haven’t even blamed you for being useless, yet you have the nerve to come to me?”
Xu Lulu’s face turned pale, unable to believe her ears.
The woman added, “You were never meant to be famous anyway. Xu Lulu, enjoy your moment of fame while it lasts.”
W hung up.
Xu Lulu’s breath caught. She couldn’t believe W would treat her like this.
Xu Lulu trembled all over, unsure if it was from anger or the hatred now burning inside her.
She felt that if it weren’t for W’s instigation and encouragement, she would never have done such a thing.
It was all because W had assured her that she would succeed, that she would be her strongest backer, that she had dared to do it.
…And now, W was treating her like this!
Xu Lulu’s eyes were about to burst. She clenched her fists, yet felt that she was just raging impotently.
Suddenly, her phone rang again.
She picked it up and saw it was an unknown number.
Xu Lulu was wary. She held the phone far away, worried it was another call from someone cursing her out.
Ever since the tables had turned, extreme netizens had doxxed her online, and her phone had been ringing off the hook.
Hanging up was useless; they would just call back.
So Xu Lulu simply chose to answer the call, then waited numbly to be cursed at.
Usually, after they were done yelling, these people would quiet down.
But this time, after the call connected, Xu Lulu didn’t hear any curses. Instead, she heard a woman’s gentle voice.
“Hello, is this Xu Lulu?”
Xu Lulu hesitated, brought the phone closer, and put it on speaker.
She asked cautiously, “Hello, this is she.”
The voice on the phone was as gentle as a spring breeze.
“Hello, this is Ye Wanlan. I have a collaboration I’d like to discuss with you.”
When Shi Ning woke up early the next morning, Su Tianxue was no longer beside her.
She got ready and went downstairs to find Su Tianxue in the dining room, watching Su Wanxing and Zhu Yu fool around.
Xin Ya and Zhou Lu were the last to come down.
These two were masters of sleeping in.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the director spoke up during breakfast. “Does anyone want to know today’s itinerary?”
Shi Ning lazily bit into a steamed bun and said, “Even if we don’t want to know, you’re still going to tell us, aren’t you?”
Director: ……
Boss! Can’t you give me some face!
Zhu Yu cooperatively smoothed things over. “I want to hear, I want to hear.”
The director cast a grateful look at Zhu Yu and began, “Yesterday, everyone received their respective date missions. And we’re happy to announce that two pairs completed their missions.”
“Xin Ya, Zhou Lu, and Zhu Yu, Su Wanxing. You all completed your missions very well.”
Shi Ning: “What about us? We didn’t?”
Director: “What do you think?”
Shi Ning was unconvinced. “You asked me to kiss ten places, and I kissed them all!!”
Su Tianxue: “………??”
The others: “Holy crap, your mission was that explosive?”
【Is this something you can really say out loud?】
Director: “According to our records, you did not complete anything.”
Shi Ning: “That’s just because you didn’t see it.”
Su Wanxing: “Shi Ning!! I’m going to kill you!!”
Zhu Yu quickly held Su Wanxing back. “Calm down, calm down.”
Su Tianxue was also confused. “I think I should have completed my mission.”
Director: “Did you?”
Su Tianxue: “You asked me to fulfill Shi Ning’s second wish, and I did.”
Only then did Shi Ning remember what she had written on the card that day: she wanted to see her wife wear a dress and high heels and then kiss her.
…Damn it.
So what Su Tianxue did yesterday was just for the mission??
Shi Ning looked at Su Tianxue, but Su Tianxue was busy battling it out with the production team.
The production team surrendered. “Even if Shi Ning’s wish was fulfilled, we still had another mission. We didn’t see you do it.”
Su Tianxue: “I did it.”
Director, patiently: “Publicly express your feelings for Shi Ning. The method is not limited, but more than ten people must witness your confession.”
Shi Ning: “She didn’t do that, I can prove it.”
Su Tianxue shot Shi Ning a glare and explained, “The method was not limited. I used the Roche limit to express my feelings.”
Shi Ning: “???”
Director: “……The others didn’t get it.”
Su Tianxue: “You said others had to witness it, not that they had to understand it. So, I did the mission.”
Shi Ning looked at Su Tianxue’s serious expression and chimed in, “Yeah, yeah, let’s just say she did it.”
The director surrendered.
“Alright, then only Shi Ning failed to complete her mission.”
Shi Ning: “Huh?”
Director: “Today’s itinerary is to experience rural life. We want everyone to experience the happiness of an ordinary family in nature. However, because Shi Ning failed her mission, her treatment will be a little different from everyone else’s.”
