Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 27

Chapter 27

“This, this isn’t good, is it?”

Song Zhiqi lowered her head and bit her lip, looking shy.

“Host! What are you doing?!” The system wailed. Why was she acting so shy in front of a woman?!

Song Zhiqi completely ignored the system. She felt like the system was a person from the previous generation, one of those people who stubbornly insisted on marriage, having children, and having male children!

It was disgusting and repulsive, but since it was like an elder, she couldn’t argue much.

“Then what do you think is good?” Shen Shiyi said with a forced smile. “Going back to that old place, where people can just walk right into your home, is that good?”

Song Zhiqi: “…”

This woman is doing this on purpose.

“Hmph, if you don’t mind, I don’t mind either.”

Shen Shiyi smirked and said nothing more.

They arrived smoothly at a residential area in the city center. The location was excellent; there was basically everything nearby. Most importantly, it was only a five-minute drive to their workplace. If they didn’t feel like driving, they could even take a leisurely stroll.

Song Zhiqi followed Shen Shiyi from the underground garage to the 23rd floor via the elevator. When Shen Shiyi opened the door, she also had Song Zhiqi record her fingerprint so she could come and go freely in the future.

After officially stepping into Shen Shiyi’s home, Song Zhiqi was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect Shen Shiyi’s home to be decorated in a style that so perfectly matched her own taste.

The off-white color scheme made her feel very cozy. She especially loved the design of the balcony. The entire balcony was enclosed with glass, decorated with some small green plants, and had a large hanging chair that could easily fit two people. Next to it was a small bookshelf, so she could lie there to bask in the sun and read a book during her leisure time. It felt incredibly comfortable.

Song Zhiqi tilted her head and looked at Shen Shiyi, her eyes sparkling. “Wow, what a special kind of fate. We have the exact same taste in style!”

Before she transmigrated, the style of her own apartment was very similar to this.

Shen Shiyi scoffed and then said in a low voice, “Aren’t you going to take a shower soon?”

Song Zhiqi immediately became quiet and then sighed softly. “Okay!”

She really did want to take a shower soon. She had worked up quite a sweat from her struggle with Fu Wen.

“The top drawer on the left side of the bathroom has new toiletries,” Shen Shiyi said as she led her to the second bedroom.

“Got it!”

After Song Zhiqi went in to shower, Shen Shiyi went to the living room. Her face was clouded over. Thinking about what Fu Wen did today, she knew she wouldn’t let him off so easily!

She took out her phone and sent a message to someone. Shen Shiyi held her phone, lost in thought, with a cold glint in her eyes.

If her attitude toward Fu Wen was just indifference before, after this incident, she wanted to completely trample him!

She wanted to make him lose everything!

With a rough plan in her mind, Shen Shiyi’s expression eased a little. She ordered some dinner to be delivered and went back to her room to change into some comfortable loungewear.

She had bought and renovated this apartment before returning to the country. This was her first time living in it.

By the time the delivery arrived, Song Zhiqi had finally finished her shower. Her wet hair was wrapped in a towel, and she was wearing the pajamas she had brought with her, which were covered in carrots. She looked like a walking carrot.

Shen Shiyi gave her a faint look. “If you don’t dry your hair, do you want to get headaches when you get older?”

Song Zhiqi: “…Oh.”

She turned and went back to the room to blow-dry her hair. When she came out, Shen Shiyi had already set the dinner on the table. She sat there calmly, but for some reason, it made Song Zhiqi feel nervous.

“Eat,” Shen Shiyi said in a calm tone.

“Okay!” Song Zhiqi quickly sat down across from her. Looking at the food on the table, she felt a little giddy. It was all her favorite food!

Neither of them spoke. They just ate quietly, but Shen Shiyi ate very little. After only a few bites, she put down her chopsticks.

Song Zhiqi held the handle of the steamed egg spoon and said in a dazed voice, “Are you full?”

“Mhm.” Shen Shiyi responded without much emotion.

Song Zhiqi: “…” She’s not a person with such a small appetite, is she?

But she also guessed that Shen Shiyi might not be in a good mood, so she didn’t say anything more to avoid getting in trouble herself.

After dinner, Song Zhiqi and Shen Shiyi sat across from each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Should she go back to her room?

Would Shen Shiyi think she was being rude? Hiding in her room on the first day of moving in.

Shen Shiyi stood up and sat on the living room sofa. She waved to Song Zhiqi.

“Hmm? Is something wrong?” Song Zhiqi asked as she walked over to Shen Shiyi.

“Ah!”

Song Zhiqi was quickly pulled down by Shen Shiyi. Her upper body was lying face down on her lap, pinned down firmly.

Song Zhiqi calmed her racing heart and said angrily, “What are you doing?!”

Why did she suddenly pull her down, and in this position of all things!

Smack!

“Ah!”

A slap suddenly landed on her bottom. Song Zhiqi’s eyes widened instantly. She was still in a state of shock, but the next slap had already landed on her butt!

Song Zhiqi snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but get angry.

“What are you doing?! Why are you hitting me?!”

And on her butt, no less!

How old was she to be getting a spanking?!

Her own mother had barely hit her a few times!

“Did I or did I not tell you to wait for me in the office?” Another slap landed, and Shen Shiyi said with cold anger.

Song Zhiqi pouted. Her eyes were already brimming with tears from the pain. She held back from crying but also didn’t answer her question.

Seeing her stubbornness, Shen Shiyi’s anger flared up even more. She slapped her bottom again!

“When are you going to start listening? If I hadn’t come today, did you think about the consequences?!”

When she said this, the corners of Shen Shiyi’s eyes were also a little red. She looked up and took a few deep breaths before gritting her teeth and continuing, “Why can’t you just stay away from him?!”

Song Zhiqi’s tears could no longer be held back. They fell in large drops, and she finally started to cry loudly.

Being spanked was too embarrassing!

“Wuwuwu, I’m the victim! How can you hit me?!” Song Zhiqi cried and said. Not only did she not comfort her, but she even blamed her.

No one in this world really cares about her!

“I’m hitting you because of what happened!” Shen Shiyi gritted her teeth. This person still wants to argue with her now. If she had listened and stayed in the office to wait for her, would this have happened?!

“You’re blaming the victim!” Song Zhiqi cried out. This was clearly Fu Wen’s fault. Her actions were not wrong at all!

Shen Shiyi was exasperated. She was now blaming the victim? Doesn’t she know what kind of person Fu Wen is? After messing with him like that, how could she not have been on guard at all?

But seeing her cry so miserably, Shen Shiyi couldn’t bring herself to hit her again. She sighed heavily, saying in a tired voice, “Song Zhiqi, can’t you just stay away from him?”

Song Zhiqi stopped crying but still didn’t answer her question. How could she not want to stay away from Fu Wen? But she wanted to complete her task and return to her own world, so she had to interact with Fu Wen!

Seeing that she didn’t answer, Shen Shiyi’s eyes clouded over. She let go of the hand that was pinning Song Zhiqi down and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing that she was no longer being held down, Song Zhiqi carefully climbed up. She winced a little when she sat down. Shen Shiyi really hit hard.

She secretly glanced at Shen Shiyi and saw her shoulders slumped, as if all the energy had been drained from her.

Song Zhiqi also felt a little uncomfortable. She didn’t like seeing Shen Shiyi looking so listless, but she didn’t know what to say.

And she couldn’t agree to what Shen Shiyi had said. Since she couldn’t agree, saying anything else would be useless.

In the end, Shen Shiyi didn’t say anything and quietly returned to her room. The slight click of the door closing entered Song Zhiqi’s ears, inexplicably making her feel down. She stared at the door and didn’t look away.

“Host,” the system spoke, interrupting her sadness.

“Hmm?” This time, Song Zhiqi responded to it.

“You’re acting so unlike the innocent and pure female lead persona today,” the system said with a worried tone.

Which innocent female lead in a tragic novel would resist a man so fiercely when he was being aggressive, like Song Zhiqi did?

Wasn’t she afraid of actually crippling him?

Song Zhiqi rolled her eyes. She was still angry about this and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you my system or the male lead’s system?”

“I’m your system, of course!” The system said immediately.

“Heh, you’re my system.” Song Zhiqi couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart. “But why do I feel like you’ve always been on the male lead’s side? As my system, what kind of help have you provided me?”

Other than giving her tasks, what did it do for her?

It felt like everything it did was for the male lead!

“I’ve always been trying to get you two together! As long as you’re together, think about how you’ll become the admired Mrs. Fu in the future. Everyone will be respectful toward you, and those who looked down on you will have to smile at you. You’ll also have a pair of lovely children and a husband who loves you. Don’t you want that?”

“That’s what you want! You never asked me what I wanted from the very beginning!” Song Zhiqi’s eyes were slightly red. What happened today had also scared her, but when she asked the system for help, what did it say?

It said this was a very important plot point and hoped she could complete it!

An important plot point.

Heh, it was the plot point where the male lead forced himself on the female lead.

What was it supposed to show?

Was it the male lead’s possessiveness of the female lead as if she were his property?

Was it to show the male lead’s domineering and aggressive personality?

No matter how she looked at it, Song Zhiqi couldn’t see the male lead’s charm in a plot where he forced himself on a woman!

The system was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, “Host, you actually don’t like the male lead, do you?”

“Yes! I don’t like him!” Song Zhiqi blurted out without holding back. But the moment she said it, she came to her senses. She took a deep breath and added, “I had a good impression of him before, but his actions today shattered that impression.”

“A normal person can’t like someone who forces themself on them!”

The system’s tone was very complex. “Your reaction now is exactly like the female lead’s reaction after the assault.”

Song Zhiqi: “…?”

She was numb. What was this supposed to mean? Was it saying she wasn’t normal in a roundabout way?

However, the system suddenly became optimistic. “It’s okay. Your current thoughts are perfectly in line with the female lead’s angry reaction after being assaulted.”

“Host, you said ‘a normal person’ yourself, but what’s the reality?”

“You’re the female lead!”

Song Zhiqi cursed under her breath. She didn’t even know if the system was insulting her or praising her.

“Ding, Abuse Value has increased by 1%. Total Abuse Value is 2.25%.”

This system broadcast stunned Song Zhiqi. She didn’t expect to get Abuse Value after treating Fu Wen like that.

“In consideration that the host did not perfectly complete the plot task, but to a certain extent suffered harm from the male lead, combined with the host’s psychological state being a perfect match, we hereby congratulate the host on taking a big step forward in completing the mission!”

Song Zhiqi: “…”

You call 1% a ‘big step’?

She had seen stingy people before, but never this stingy.

“Of course, there are rewards and punishments. Since the host did not maintain the innocent female lead persona, the male lead Fu Wen’s weight will increase by one catty!”

Song Zhiqi was silent once again.

She had realized that her system might be a little stubborn. When it believed in something, it was hard to change.

For a moment, she didn’t know if this punishment was actually a reward for her!

Song Zhiqi’s gloomy mood was instantly swept away. She not only gained Abuse Value, but Fu Wen would also gain a catty because of it. What a pleasant day!

Although one catty seemed small, didn’t the system say so? As long as she didn’t maintain her innocent persona in front of Fu Wen for a day, he would gain one catty!

With a little bit adding up every day, that would be a very impressive number!

Song Zhiqi tried her best not to let the system notice her glee. She stood up, stretched, and said, “Too many things happened today. I need to go to bed early tonight.”

The system also fully understood and fell silent, no longer bothering her.

…

Meanwhile, Shen Shiyi came out after her shower. After blow-drying her hair, she went to Song Zhiqi’s bedroom and knocked on the door.

Song Zhiqi, who was lying on the bed looking at pre-bed gossip, was startled by the knock. She quickly got out of bed and opened the door. Looking at Shen Shiyi standing at the door, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

She had only opened the door halfway, and with Song Zhiqi’s body blocking the way, Shen Shiyi couldn’t get in.

Shen Shiyi looked down at her and said expressionlessly, “You scared me today. I’m still a little shaken and can’t sleep alone.”

“Huh?” Song Zhiqi was dumbfounded. How could a person be like this?

She was the one involved, and she didn’t say she couldn’t sleep from the shock. She was just a witness, and she was traumatized?

And she just spanked her! How could she have the nerve?!

“I said I can’t sleep. I want to sleep with you, and I want to hold you,” Shen Shiyi said bluntly.

Song Zhiqi: “…”

System: “…”

Seeing that she was still blocking the way, Shen Shiyi directly pushed the door open a little. She took a step forward, put her other arm around Song Zhiqi’s waist, and single-handedly picked her up and walked in. The hand that pushed the door skillfully swung back and closed the bedroom door.

This series of smooth movements completely dumbfounded Song Zhiqi, and even the system was speechless.

Wait a minute, wasn’t she the white moonlight?

How could she be so domineering!

And yet, she was so domineering that she wasn’t annoying!

“Wait, are you that strong?” Song Zhiqi looked down, but her gaze went straight to the softness of Shen Shiyi’s chest. Her face immediately turned red.

“Are you just realizing that now?” Shen Shiyi said in a calm tone. She carried her to the bed, put her down, and naturally got on the bed and pulled the blanket over them.

Song Zhiqi immediately became interested.

She lay on the bed and pulled Shen Shiyi’s arm over. There were no obvious muscles, but she could see that her arm was toned and smooth. It didn’t look very strong, but the strength she had shown was inconsistent with her physique.

Seeing her wide-eyed and looking a little shocked, Shen Shiyi chuckled. “Don’t look at me like that. I always make sure to relax my muscles after every workout.”

She didn’t want to become too muscular. It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with it; it was just a personal aesthetic preference. She didn’t like having that kind of muscle herself.

Song Zhiqi’s eyes were glowing as she stared at Shen Shiyi. She was so envious.

Shen Shiyi’s skin felt very firm. She looked like she worked out a lot, while her own skin was soft to the touch because she didn’t exercise much.

Although it was nice to pinch, who wouldn’t want to have a better figure?

Shen Shiyi pulled her into her arms. “Stop looking. Aren’t you tired?”

“I am,” Song Zhiqi said honestly.

“Then go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Facing the two of them sleeping in the same bed again, the system was now in a state of utter despair.

But the problem is, didn’t Song Zhiqi say she was conservative?! Is this what a conservative person does?!

As they were about to fall asleep, Shen Shiyi suddenly asked, “Does your butt still hurt?”

“Mmm? A little bit,” Song Zhiqi, who was very sleepy, mumbled in response.

“Then I’ll rub it for you.”

“Oh, okay.”

Shen Shiyi actually reached out and rubbed Song Zhiqi’s butt. The soft flesh felt good in her hands, and since her hands were a little cold, it really did make Song Zhiqi’s butt feel a lot better.

System: “…”

It shouldn’t be in the car. It should be under the car.

They weren’t avoiding it at all!

In the end, the system couldn’t take it anymore and simply shut itself off.

…

Early the next morning, Song Zhiqi lay on the bed, lazily yawning. She watched Shen Shiyi, who was using her room’s vanity to get ready. She said in a lazy voice, “Can I take a half-day off this morning?”

Shen Shiyi’s action of drawing her eyebrows paused. She looked at the person lying on the bed through the vanity mirror and frowned. “Why do you need to take a day off?”

“To cash the check Fu Wen gave me, of course! So there are no complications!” Song Zhiqi said matter-of-factly.

Shen Shiyi breathed a small sigh of relief. “No need to take a day off. I’ll go to the bank with you, and then I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Where?” Song Zhiqi was a little curious.

Shen Shiyi continued what she was doing and said calmly, “Did you forget that I told you I’d take you to the Fu Group to watch a show?”

Song Zhiqi was instantly excited and became much more alert. However, after the initial excitement, she hesitated.

“We just had that incident yesterday. Is it a good idea to go to their home turf today?”

After drawing her eyebrows, Shen Shiyi continued to apply her foundation. When she heard her question, she scoffed. “You’re not in the wrong. What are you worried about?”

Song Zhiqi didn’t agree. “Just because I’m in the right doesn’t mean I can beat them. Besides, going to their territory where they have a lot of people, they can twist the facts and we still can’t win.”

Shen Shiyi sighed softly. “How little do you trust me?”

Song Zhiqi pouted. She didn’t not trust Shen Shiyi, but the problem was that the person was Fu Wen, the male lead with a halo! As long as he wanted something, everything would basically serve him!

Even she, the female lead, became an object to serve the male lead, didn’t she?

“Alright, hurry up and get ready,” Shen Shiyi said, no longer wanting to talk about it. She urged the person who had sprawled out on the bed like a pancake.

“Okay,” Song Zhiqi said slowly. She climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready. When she came out, Shen Shiyi was no longer in her bedroom.

After getting ready, she went to the living room. Shen Shiyi was already dressed. Her light brown trench coat made her look taller and more slender. She wore a white V-neck shirt underneath, a silk scarf in a similar color to the trench coat tied around her neck, and a pair of white casual trousers, which perfectly showed off her relaxed style.

The clothes she was wearing didn’t have any obvious brand logos, but the quality of the fabric showed that they were different. On Shen Shiyi, they had an understated elegance.

“You look good in everything,” Song Zhiqi couldn’t help but praise. She loved looking at beautiful things, especially beautiful people. Shen Shiyi was the most beautiful person she had ever seen!

Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow. “You too.”

Song Zhiqi immediately looked delighted. “Me too!”

After all, this face looks just like mine. With a face like this, of course I look good in everything!

Seeing her happy, Shen Shiyi pursed her lips and chuckled softly. She took her out for breakfast, and then they went to a nearby bank together.

They arrived very early, and the bank had not yet officially started business. However, who was Shen Shiyi? As a VIP of the bank, as soon as she entered the door, she was led into a special VIP room by the bank manager, who immediately had Song Zhiqi’s business taken care of.

Looking at the 500,000 that had been deposited into her card, Song Zhiqi sighed deeply.

Even though it was in her card, it didn’t belong to her.

She gritted her teeth and directly transferred the money to the hospital’s account, while also sending a message to the attending doctor that they could schedule the surgery as soon as possible.

Once the surgery was scheduled, she would also have to go to the hospital to sign the surgical consent form.

After transferring the money and looking at the pathetic balance in her account, Song Zhiqi looked at Shen Shiyi and said, “President Shen, can you take me in for a while longer? I don’t have money to rent a place right now.”

She would need to work for at least two or three months to save up enough for a rental deposit.

Shen Shiyi’s expression didn’t change. “You can live with me forever. No rent needed.”

No rent?

Song Zhiqi’s expression immediately became subtle. Thinking back to everything Shen Shiyi had done before, she wouldn’t want her to repay her with her body, would she?!

Seeing her expression, Shen Shiyi knew what she was thinking. She smiled inwardly but still explained, “Although you don’t need to pay rent, you need to clean the house to offset the cost.”

“And it would be great if you could cook, too.”

After she finished, she gave her a slight smile.

Song Zhiqi: “…How much does a cleaning lady get paid a month?”

“But do you think your work is as good as a professional cleaning lady’s?”

“…”

D*rn it! It seems so!
