Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 16

Chapter 16

As Song Zhiqi’s eerie words faded, the system began to frantically search its database, attempting to use big data algorithms to determine if what Song Zhiqi said was true.

However, as soon as it saw the results of the big data analysis, the system fell silent.

Seeing that it was quiet, Song Zhiqi knew that it must have gone to calculate with big data. After giving it some time, she asked with a smile, “Well? Did you figure it out? Am I right?”

Song Zhiqi didn’t believe it. She had read so many novels; surely this kind of trope was enough to fool the system!

The system said sullenly, “The Host’s approach is very wise.”

Song Zhiqi burst into laughter.

The car drove smoothly. For the rest of the ride, neither of them mentioned the previous events. When they arrived at the Shen family home, Song Zhiqi was startled to realize that Shen Shiyi had actually brought her there. She had thought Shen Shiyi’s words to Fu Wen were just an excuse!

“Let’s go, get out of the car,” Shen Shiyi said with a smile.

Song Zhiqi looked at the lights on in the large villa in front of her and refused to get out. “Tell the driver to take me back!”

It was clear that Shen Shiyi’s parents were home! What would it look like for her to just show up? It would be so awkward!

Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow. “But the driver is off at this time. We don’t have a habit of forcing our drivers to work overtime.”

Song Zhiqi: “???”

Do you even hear what you’re saying! Don’t try to fool me just because you think I don’t know the etiquette for private drivers!

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Shen Shiyi smiled. “Since that’s the case, I’ll have my parents personally come and invite you out of the car.”

Song Zhiqi: …Damn it.

Helpless, Song Zhiqi could only obediently follow Shen Shiyi out of the car, feeling a little bitter in her heart.

Besides her own parents, she didn’t know how to deal with other elders!

As they stepped through the gate, Shen Shiyi changed her shoes and took out a new pair of white fox slippers for Song Zhiqi, placing them at her feet and gesturing for her to change.

Song Zhiqi looked at the new slippers, then at Shen Shiyi’s matching black ones, and fell silent.

“Hmm? Why aren’t you changing? My mother is a clean freak. She doesn’t like people wearing their outside shoes in the house,” Shen Shiyi said.

Song Zhiqi: “…”

In the end, she changed into the slippers. The moment she put them on, her toes curled in shame. She couldn’t shake the strange feeling in her heart.

When they reached the main hall, they saw two people with excellent temperaments sitting on the living room sofa.

The woman was elegant and gentle. Although the fine lines around her eyes showed that she was no longer young, she maintained a very good figure. She wore an elegant ink-wash qipao that was full of charm. The way she was pouring tea made her look like she had just stepped out of a water town in Jiangnan.

Song Zhiqi couldn’t help but be amazed. She didn’t expect the perfect woman’s mother to be such a beautiful woman. Every one of her actions was elegant, a kind of upbringing that seemed to be etched into her very bones.

The man opposite the woman had a mature and handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor. He looked like a very reliable person.

With these two’s genes, it’s no wonder they could give birth to someone as exceptionally beautiful as Shen Shiyi.

“Mom and Dad, this is Song Zhiqi, my girl…” When she said this, she glanced at Song Zhiqi. Under Song Zhiqi’s panicked gaze, her voice changed, and she continued, “…my friend.”

Shen’s parents were very well-mannered people. They had already stood up when they saw the two of them approaching. Now, hearing Shen Shiyi’s introduction, they showed Song Zhiqi a friendly smile.

“Little Song, have you had dinner?”

“Hello, Uncle and Aunt. Yes, I have. I had it with Shen… with Shiyi,” Song Zhiqi quickly replied, feeling extremely constrained.

Seeing Song Zhiqi’s restrained demeanor, Shen’s mother smiled gently. “You don’t have to be nervous. Yiyi has told us about you. Just treat this place like your own home.”

Song Zhiqi was startled. Shen Shiyi had told them about her? What did she say? Did she tell them they had a one-night stand the first time they met?!

No, no! That would be so socially embarrassing!

“Mom and Dad, she’s a little timid, so don’t scare her,” Shen Shiyi said, putting her arm around Song Zhiqi’s shoulder.

Shen’s mother playfully glared at her. “Are your dad and I that scary? Why would we scare her?”

“No, no, Auntie, don’t listen to her nonsense!” Song Zhiqi quickly said.

Even though she was really constrained by elders, she couldn’t admit it in front of them!

Hearing this, Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow and gave Song Zhiqi a half-smile.

“It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay here for the night and rest?” Shen’s father said at the right time.

“Ah, no…”

“Mhm, I’ve already told Aunt An. She’ll be staying in the room next to mine,” Shen Shiyi interrupted her, saying with a cheerful smile.

“Since you’ve already arranged it, we won’t worry about it,” Shen’s mother smiled. Then she said to Song Zhiqi, “Have a good rest tonight. If you need anything, just ask Yiyi.”

Seeing this, Song Zhiqi swallowed the words she wanted to say to refuse. A slightly strained smile appeared on her face. “Okay. Thank you, Uncle and Aunt.”

When Shen Shiyi led her upstairs, Song Zhiqi was still a little dazed. She had inexplicably stayed at the Shen family’s house for the night.

Shen Shiyi led her to the room next to hers. She pushed the door open and said to her, “Hurry up and take a shower. Make sure you get clean.”

Song Zhiqi: “?”

She looked at Shen Shiyi in confusion, not understanding what she meant by that.

Shen Shiyi tapped her right shoulder and said softly, “I don’t like the smell of other people on you.”

Song Zhiqi: “???”

How could I have someone else’s smell on me! And can she even smell it! She’s not a dog!

Song Zhiqi grumbled in her heart, ignoring her words. She walked into the room and closed the door, keeping that person out.

Shen Shiyi, who was left outside the door, looked at the closed door with a meaningful smile and turned to go back to her own room.

After closing the door, Song Zhiqi calmed her wildly beating heart. She felt like she was going to die of shock from everything that happened tonight!

But she really should take a shower as soon as possible and get clean, washing away all the lingering sensations from Shen Shiyi!

If she didn’t wash it all off, she felt that her emotions would never be able to calm down!

But when she looked for a change of clothes, Song Zhiqi looked at the door on the wall and fell completely silent.

Why was there a door in the guest room? And where did this door lead to?

She hesitated.

The Shen family shouldn’t be a problem, right?

They wouldn’t do anything illegal, right?
