Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Walking in, Song Zhiqi was originally lying on the bed. She half-supported herself and looked over at the sound. After she saw Shen Shiyi clearly, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“What, are you cold again and can’t sleep alone?”

Lately, this person would come over every day and say something about being too cold to sleep.

How could she be cold in this weather?

She thought Shen Shiyi was just too weak!

“This time is different,” Shen Shiyi smiled. She walked to the bed and sat down. She looked down at Song Zhiqi, her eyes flickering. She took off her shoes, leaned over, and hugged Song Zhiqi, murmuring, “This time there are two more factors.”

Song Zhiqi, who was already used to being hugged, tried to stretch out her hand. She had been playing a game earlier.

She suppressed the ambiguous itchiness of being hugged in bed. She cleared her throat and mumbled, “What factors?”

After asking, she instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

As expected…

“Tonight is lonely, desolate, and cold.”

Song Zhiqi: “…”

“The key is desolate.”

Song Zhiqi’s eyes widened instantly. Her body tensed up, and she immediately wanted to escape from Shen Shiyi’s embrace. However, Shen Shiyi’s arms tightened, and she held her even closer.

Remembering her beastly behavior from last time, she couldn’t help but tremble and shrink. She also accused, “Don’t even think about it!”

“Why? Why can’t I even think about it?” Shen Shiyi leaned down and kissed her hair vaguely. She sniffed the fresh scent of her hair, and the arm around her tightened.

“Why what?! My skin was broken last time!” When she thought of that time, Song Zhiqi was furious. This person acted like she had never seen a woman before. Her beastly actions caused her to feel uncomfortable for many days afterward when she walked!

Shen Shiyi held back her laughter and widened her eyes in surprise. “Your skin was broken?”

“Of course! You beast!” Song Zhiqi didn’t forget to curse at her.

And afterward, she didn’t even help her apply medicine. She didn’t know the meaning of being considerate at all!

Shen Shiyi turned over and pinned Song Zhiqi down. She looked into her eyes and said seriously, “Then I’ll be more gentle this time. Is it okay if I don’t break your skin?”

The completely chaotic system: “…”

Listen to what you’re saying!

“Host! Wake up! You’re the female lead! What’s the deal with you constantly getting with a woman!” It couldn’t help but wail. It was still a baby system!

Song Zhiqi’s cheeks flushed. She tried her best to ignore the system’s words and glared at Shen Shiyi.

“Should I believe your words, or should I believe that I’m a billionaire?”

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were watery, but she still wanted to glare at her. To the person looking, however, she not only had no deterrent effect, but she also looked more delicate and vulnerable.

Shen Shiyi felt that the thirst in her heart was about to break free from its cage.

How could she be so alluring?

She wanted to strip her naked and savor her piece by piece, watching her fair, jade-like body turn red and leave her own marks on it.

She wanted her entire body, from the inside out, to be filled with her scent.

At this moment, Shen Shiyi regretted that humans didn’t have something like pheromones from novels. That way, she could leave her scent on Song Zhiqi and let everyone know that she belonged to her.

“You can believe my words, and you can also believe that you are a billionaire,” Shen Shiyi said with a low laugh. She looked at Song Zhiqi with watery eyes. All the coldness on her face had melted, leaving only gentleness for the person she loved.

“I can do both of those things.”

“No, no! What a mess!”

Song Zhiqi quickly refused. Are you kidding me? A hug is one thing. She could still comfort herself that close female friends did that. But if you’re talking about getting naked and getting together, wouldn’t that be going too far?

Seeing Song Zhiqi’s refusal, Shen Shiyi sighed faintly. One hand gently caressed Song Zhiqi’s neck, and she murmured, “Then what should I do? I’m so lonely right now.”

“Cough, cough!” Song Zhiqi’s face turned red. She secretly cursed Shen Shiyi for being so thick-skinned. How could she say such things? Didn’t she feel embarrassed at all?

“Don’t be like that. If it’s really that bad, I can buy you some toys?” Song Zhiqi said with some coyness.

She thought about the money she earned from her drawings. She should be able to buy some things.

“It’s no fun playing alone,” Shen Shiyi said lightly.

Song Zhiqi’s face turned completely red. She raised her hand to push her away, holding back her shame. “You can play or not. Let go of me!”

Shen Shiyi leaned down and buried her head in her neck. She inhaled the rich, fresh scent on her body and said with adoration, “No. I’m too lonely. I’m a little hotheaded right now.”

She was indeed a little hotheaded tonight. When she saw Fu Wen hugging that woman named Ruoruo and coming out of the lounge, her mind was buzzing.

The dense kisses landed on her neck. The skin there was already thin and sensitive. Being kissed like this, and with her warm breath hitting her, made her shiver all over.

“Shen…” Song Zhiqi couldn’t even say her name completely. She pushed with both hands, but she couldn’t move her at all. Then, Shen Shiyi sucked on her collarbone lightly. The tingling sensation almost shattered all of her rationality.

“Host!” The system screamed in a panic. Even if Song Zhiqi said that it didn’t count as sleeping together if she didn’t get inside, it couldn’t just stand by and watch the host and the white moonlight have this kind of… intimate moment!

If only she fought back a little!

But why wasn’t she fighting back at all?! She was pinned down and couldn’t get up!

“Shut up!” Song Zhiqi’s head hurt from the noise. At the same time, a sense of shame washed over her.

Even if the system wasn’t a person, being watched by such an unknown creature still made her feel like she was being spied on!

Seeing that Song Zhiqi’s body was about to be pixelated, the system became anxious.

“The male lead gained one pound.”

“The male lead gained one pound.”

“The male lead gained one pound!”

“Are you still not going to stop!”

The system was completely screaming. At this moment, a thick pixelation appeared on Song Zhiqi’s chest. It was easy to imagine what was happening!

That damn white moonlight was taking off its female lead’s clothes!

Song Zhiqi, who was originally struggling with Shen Shiyi, was stunned for a moment when she heard the system’s announcement.

She didn’t mishear, did she? In that short amount of time, Fu Wen gained three pounds?

Her spirits were instantly lifted. In Shen Shiyi’s widened gaze, she pulled open her pajamas that had been half-torn off. Her chest was completely exposed. Then, she saw that Shen Shiyi’s nightgown was still perfectly on her, so she started to pull at hers.

Shen Shiyi was also confused by her sudden action.

Why did it feel like it was her who was lonely now?

The system let out a sharp, ear-splitting scream.

“The male lead gained one pound!”

“The male lead gained one pound!”

“Ahhhhhh the male lead gained three pounds!”

Amidst the system’s booming voice, Song Zhiqi pulled off Shen Shiyi’s nightgown. She couldn’t help but swallow when she saw the view on her chest.

Shen Shiyi had already recovered at this point. Seeing Song Zhiqi’s action of swallowing, her eyes softened, and a genuine smile appeared on her face. She straddled Song Zhiqi’s waist and looked down at her, saying, “Didn’t you say you were straight? What are you doing now?”

At a time like this, Song Zhiqi couldn’t show any weakness. She cleared her throat and said with a straight face, “I didn’t express myself clearly before. I’m actually a bi!”

The system looked at the two large pixels and was so angry that its database was almost corrupted. It immediately put a filter on itself and went into a small black room to avoid seeing and hearing anything.

“Oh? A bi?” Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow with interest.

Song Zhiqi nodded solemnly.

Shen Shiyi’s hand reached down to Song Zhiqi’s crotch in a way that left her no time to dodge. She teased, “A bi-gendered person?”

Suddenly being grabbed, Song Zhiqi was completely stunned. When she heard her teasing words, Song Zhiqi’s face instantly turned red. She reached out to grab her hand.

“No, are you sick?”

“If I were a bi-gendered person, could you still be so domineering over me!”

You would have run a few hundred meters away by now!

Shen Shiyi chuckled. She looked like she was seriously thinking. “Why not? You can just lie there, too.”

Song Zhiqi’s face turned beet red.

Damn pervert! What kind of nonsense are you saying! Can’t your mind be a little cleaner?!

“Can you not say things that aren’t true with such a serious tone!”

Shen Shiyi sighed with regret and gently swayed her hips back and forth. “I’m just taking every word you say seriously.”

Feeling her gently rubbing against her, Song Zhiqi was so ashamed that her face couldn’t get any redder. She looked at Shen Shiyi. She felt a burning sensation in her eyes as she looked at her alluring appearance, but she quickly realized that it was not a good look to stare at her. So she looked away.

But very soon, her gaze drifted back uncontrollably, looking like she wanted to see but didn’t dare to.

Shen Shiyi’s eyes were always on her. She naturally noticed her expression. Although she didn’t understand why her attitude had changed so much so suddenly, at least for her, this change was a good thing.

She cupped Song Zhiqi’s face, forcing her to look only at her. She panted softly and said, “If you want to look, just look openly. You don’t have to be sneaky.”

Being forced to look at her with her face cupped, Song Zhiqi felt her face was losing her dignity. She said in a rather fierce tone, “What’s there to look at! What do you have that I don’t?”

And where did the system go?! She was like this, so why didn’t she hear the system’s voice announcing that the male lead had gained weight?!

He only gained eight pounds in total just now!

It couldn’t be that she had gone through all of this, and it was only worth eight pounds!

Shen Shiyi shook the softness on her chest and said meaningfully, “This is not as big as yours.”

“Hmph—”

Song Zhiqi made a difficult turn and flipped Shen Shiyi onto the bed. She pounced on her and pinned her down. She raised her hand and held the place where she was just so proud of. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

“Mmm… be gentle.”

Shen Shiyi looked at her with doting eyes. Her whole body exuded an aura of indulgence.

Song Zhiqi cleared her throat, and her hand became more gentle, but she still didn’t forget to say harsh words to her.

“If you dare to talk nonsense again, this is what will happen!”

Shen Shiyi chuckled. She raised her hand and hooked it around her neck. She said in a very affectionate tone, “Then I really hope this can happen a few more times.”

Song Zhiqi: “Hmph…”

Shen Shiyi pushed herself up and sent her br3asts more fully into her hand. She whispered in her ear, “So obedient.”

Song Zhiqi’s ears were burning. She turned her head away, wanting to avoid it.

This person is really something. Always doing these kinds of things.

…

“Doo doo luo suo luo, suo duo luo duo luo suo…”

The moment the alarm clock rang, Song Zhiqi, with her eyes closed tightly, shrank into the blanket. She wished she could cover both of her ears.

Her whole body felt tired and exhausted.

Suddenly, the alarm clock stopped. After the annoying sound disappeared, Song Zhiqi felt at ease and wanted to continue sleeping.

However, the system, which had just come out of the small black room, saw the situation and was instantly furious. It immediately played an electronic version of the song “Uneasy” in Song Zhiqi’s mind, which completely blew away all her sleepiness.

Song Zhiqi instantly opened her eyes. She was wide awake. She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling lifeless. But the electronic version of “Uneasy” in her mind didn’t stop at all.

“Why don’t you sleep a little longer?” The sound of Shen Shiyi’s voice, with a hint of a light laugh, came from beside her. It was so pleasant to hear such a nice voice early in the morning. It made her feel much better.

If only she could ignore the electronic version of “Uneasy” in her mind.

“I’m already awake. Please stop!” Song Zhiqi shouted in her mind, unable to bear it anymore.

The system was unmoved and continued to do whatever it wanted.

Song Zhiqi was helpless. She could only look at Shen Shiyi and said weakly, “I can’t sleep.”

With the system around, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Shen Shiyi laughed softly, rubbed her face, and got up first to go to the bathroom.

Song Zhiqi turned her head and looked at her slender back as she put on her nightgown again. She recalled the scene from last night. The two of them almost had a moment. Fortunately, she woke up in the end and said she wouldn’t continue.

The system had already disappeared. Without the punishment for Fu Wen, it would be too weird for her to continue fooling around with Shen Shiyi!

The two of them didn’t have any kind of relationship. Doing something like that felt like they were just messing around!

But looking at Shen Shiyi, she couldn’t tell that she was furious with her eyes red and watery last night.

But it was also a good thing that she looked so nonchalant. It made Song Zhiqi feel much more at ease. Otherwise, if she had to console her, how would she? She had no right to do so.

Meanwhile, Shen Shiyi’s eyes, after entering the bathroom, became slightly dim. Then she went on to wash her face and brush her teeth as if nothing had happened.

Because she often stayed over, Song Zhiqi’s bathroom had her special toiletries. They were placed next to Song Zhiqi’s, as if a couple was living together.

When she came out after washing up, Song Zhiqi had already gotten up from the bed and was tidying up the slightly messy bed.

She smoothed out the wrinkled sheets. She held the corners of the 1.8-meter quilt and spread it out on the bed. The pillows that they had slept on were also placed neatly.

Seeing this, Shen Shiyi’s expression became even softer. Her lips curled slightly, and she said happily, “What do you want for breakfast today?”

Song Zhiqi tidied up the bed and said casually, “Some porridge.”

Shen Shiyi nodded and sent a message to her bodyguard on her phone.

Song Zhiqi went to wash up. Shen Shiyi went back to her own bedroom to change into a new set of clothes. She wore a dark blue patterned waist-cinching long dress, paired with an off-white cross-neck long trench coat and black matte ankle boots. She looked elegant and refined, but also capable and chic. When her face was calm, she gave people a sense of distance.

Song Zhiqi also changed and came out. When she saw Shen Shiyi, she couldn’t help but sigh. She didn’t know how Shen Shiyi did it, but she was able to make every piece of clothing she wore look its best. It made her a little unable to look away.

Shen Shiyi’s eyes fell on her. She was wearing a simple off-white embroidered long dress with a knitted cardigan. She looked as elegant as a landscape painting. But…

“Hmph! I want to be that cool, too!” Song Zhiqi looked at Shen Shiyi with regret. Why didn’t she wear something cooler? Now, standing next to her, she looked so delicate!

The elegant filter was shattered into pieces.

Shen Shiyi looked at her with an expressionless face. She finally sighed resignedly. She raised a hand and hooked it around her neck, pulling her closer. “Let’s go. Time for work.”

She had no idea what was going on in her head. She wanted to look cool. Was she planning on seducing some young women?

“Hey, hey, slow down!”

“Little short legs.”

“Pah! Who are you calling little short legs? I think your legs are short!”

“Whether my legs are short or not, didn’t you touch them last night?”

“…”

System: I’m deaf.

…

On the other side, when Fu Wen woke up in the morning, he felt a little strange. He felt much heavier. After washing up, he was more awake. He went to the third-floor gym and started running. After he came down from the treadmill, covered in sweat, he habitually stood on the scale.

When he saw the number on it, Fu Wen’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t believe that the weight on the scale was his own.

He had always been disciplined. He would run for half an hour every morning to sweat. During work, he would also exercise whenever he had free time. So his body had always been in good shape. But now?

In one night, he had gained nine pounds!

What did nine pounds mean? It was enough to make his face look rounder!

He thought about last night. He didn’t eat much, so why did he gain so much weight all of a sudden?

Was the alcohol at the mayor’s place so high in calories?

He gritted his teeth slightly. He couldn’t accept that he had gained so much weight all at once. He immediately got on the treadmill and ran for another half an hour. When there wasn’t much time left before work, he hurried downstairs, took a quick shower, and rushed to the company without eating breakfast.

When he arrived at the company, he heard from the HR department that Gu Shiyu had resigned.

“Mhm, got it,” he responded faintly. He had already expected that Gu Shiyu wouldn’t last long. It was impossible for a pampered young woman like her who only knew how to live off her parents to stick with it.

He didn’t think for a second that it might be because of how he had acted last night.

…

Song Zhiqi and Shen Shiyi arrived at the Shen Group building. After they finished breakfast together, Shen Shiyi went to a meeting, leaving Song Zhiqi alone. She took this time to work on the draft she had recently accepted.

The draft was for a Yuri couple from an anime. And it was an official couple that the creators themselves were a fan of!

This naturally made the people who loved this niche pairing go crazy. So the ones who could write started writing fanfiction. The ones who could draw also started creating fan art. And those who couldn’t do anything but had money started hiring artists from outside, making the small community thrive.

Song Zhiqi had accepted several drafts for this couple because of her bold and daring art style. She had gradually gained a name for herself in the anime community. Plus, her drawing skills were indeed good, so many people came to her.

However, this time, drawing a Yuri couple made Song Zhiqi’s hand pause. After only a few strokes, she would have to stop and fan her face with her hand to cool it down.

For some reason, as she was drawing, she couldn’t help but think of Shen Shiyi. Sometimes, she would accidentally draw Shen Shiyi’s face. When she realized it, she had to quickly redo it, which wasted a lot of time.

“What a beauty that brings ruin!” Song Zhiqi couldn’t help but mumble. If Shen Shiyi wasn’t so alluring, why would she constantly think of her?

The system couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why don’t you say that you have a weak will?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Song Zhiqi felt wronged. “If I had a weak will, would you still be yapping in my head right now? You’d be crying and screaming by now!”

System: “…And you’re proud of that?”

“Shouldn’t I be?” Song Zhiqi puffed out her chest.

The system said in a cold voice, “I need to remind the host of something. We’re about to enter another plot point.”

Song Zhiqi’s arrogance instantly shrank. She couldn’t be so cocky anymore.

“Cough, what plot point?”

She had been thinking about how to complete the task as soon as possible. And she still had to make Fu Wen fall for her. Song Zhiqi’s face instantly turned into one of pain.

System: “You’re being harassed by a client. The male lead feels that his woman is being bullied, so he stands up for you and makes that client go bankrupt. Because of this, you will admire the male lead even more.”

Song Zhiqi: “…”

She sighed heavily. “I didn’t expect this male lead to have a chivalrous side.”

“Mhm~”

Listening to the system’s proud voice, Song Zhiqi rolled her eyes in her heart and brought up a crucial point.

“But the problem is, I’m not Fu Wen’s secretary right now?”

And she wasn’t Fu Wen’s woman right now, either? How was he going to stand up for her?

The system was speechless.

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely find a way to complete the task!” Seeing the system fall silent, Song Zhiqi immediately showed her loyalty. Then she said in a pitiful voice, “He was with another woman last night, and now he’s going to come after me. Why can he do whatever he wants? I have my own dignity!”

The system thought about it. It seemed to make sense. But it still couldn’t help but say, “You also need to complete the task as soon as possible. Then you can choose whether to stay in this world and be with the male lead, or go back to your original world!”

“Mhm, I know,” Song Zhiqi responded softly.

After what happened at the banquet last night, she already knew that she couldn’t keep procrastinating.

But how could she make Fu Wen fall for her quickly?

Song Zhiqi frowned and thought. She gradually stopped what she was drawing.

“System, can you give me the full plot of the novel, or can you give me the original novel, and I’ll read it myself?” Song Zhiqi still felt that reading the entire novel would be safer.

“I’m sorry, Host. The system does not provide this service,” the system flatly refused.

Song Zhiqi: “…If you let me read the novel, won’t I be able to complete the task better?”

“But we have a rule that we cannot reveal too much about the specific plot when the host is not clear about it,” the system was clearly in a difficult position.

Song Zhiqi stopped wasting time with it because she suddenly thought of the one thing she had overlooked the most.

The more you are pursued and praised, the more you don’t take the person seriously. Only then will they pay attention to you.

Before, Song Zhiqi had managed to not take him seriously, but she didn’t manage to show up in front of him all the time for him to see!

In other words, she didn’t show her presence.

Staying with Shen Shiyi could help her get rid of the unknown force that forced her to interact with the plot characters, but the result was also very obvious.

The progress of her mission was shockingly slow.

Song Zhiqi’s eyes flickered. To get the plot to move forward as quickly as possible and also to make the system believe that she had really fallen for the male lead, she had to interact with Fu Wen more.

How can you catch a tiger without entering the tiger’s den?

She immediately put away all her things. She opened the built-in Word document on her computer and solemnly typed out the five words: “Letter of Resignation.”

The system was also stunned when it saw her actions. “Host, what are you doing?”

“System, I get it now. There’s no future in staying with the white moonlight. So I’m going to resign and apply for a job at the Fu Group!”

System: “…”

So when Shen Shiyi saw the letter of resignation Song Zhiqi handed her, her face turned cold bit by bit. Her voice was as cold as if she had just crawled out of hell.

“Song Zhiqi, explain yourself. What is the meaning of this?”

Her fingers had already crumpled the paper. Shen Shiyi’s face was frighteningly gloomy. At the same time, she was also reflecting. Did her actions last night really scare her?

Did she act too hastily?

The anger in her chest rose bit by bit, threatening to swallow her brain. She tried her best to suppress it, not wanting to do anything she would regret while she was not thinking clearly.

Looking at Shen Shiyi’s face, Song Zhiqi also felt a little cowardly. But the letter of resignation had already been handed in, and she couldn’t back down now.

“Cough, it’s just as you see. I don’t think this job is very suitable for me, so I plan to resign and rest for a while,” Song Zhiqi said with a hint of anxiety on her face, afraid that Shen Shiyi would suddenly lose her temper.

“Are you really planning to rest, or are you going to work at the Fu Group?” Shen Shiyi sneered.

“Uh…”

Song Zhiqi was speechless.

Shen Shiyi put the letter of resignation into the shredder next to her. Her voice was light and distant, carrying an emotion that Song Zhiqi couldn’t decipher.

“So you’ll still fall for him, right?”
