Abducted by the White Moonlight of a "Tormented Protagonist" Novel - Chapter 9
Chapter 9
“I want to love you so much that I can’t suppress the thought, wanting to completely occupy your joys and sorrows…”
The phone alarm woke Song Zhiqi from her dream. She grabbed her head in annoyance, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at the phone. Although she had gone to bed early last night, it didn’t mean she didn’t have a bad temper when she woke up.
She picked up the phone and saw an unknown number.
Song Zhiqi hung up without a second thought. Are salespeople this dedicated now? Going to work so early in the morning.
However, as soon as she hung up, the same number called again.
Song Zhiqi: “…”
Finally, seeing that it was from the same area, she answered the phone. Before she could speak, she heard Shen Shiyi’s clear voice.
“Open the door. I’m at your door right now.”
“?”
A big question mark popped up in Song Zhiqi’s mind. Her sleepy brain could only react with this. Urged by the person on the phone, she groggily got out of bed to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Shiyi, fully dressed, standing at her door.
A black turtleneck, layered with a reddish-brown plaid shirt, with the hem tucked into tight black jeans, and a pair of neat boots. She looked beautiful and dashing. Just one look at her, and you could imagine her walking with a powerful stride.
Song Zhiqi stared at her blankly.
Shen Shiyi put down the hand holding the phone, smiling as she looked at Song Zhiqi, who was still in her pajamas with messy hair. It was clear she had just gotten out of bed.
“What time is it and you’re still not up?” Shen Shiyi raised her hand, rubbed her head, and hooked her arm around her neck, pulling her inside. In her other hand, she was carrying some breakfast. Her familiar attitude was as if she was entering her own home.
Song Zhiqi was pushed inside, still not fully aware of what was happening.
Shen Shiyi pushed her, making her sit at the dining table. She placed the breakfast on the table and then sat next to her, helping her smooth out her messy hair. She stared at her up close.
Song Zhiqi, who had come to her senses: “…?”
“Go away!”
She pushed her away with a slap to her face, which was blushing terribly. Is this person crazy? Why is she staring at me so closely!
Song Zhiqi felt awkward and got up angrily to go to the bathroom. She looked at her face in the mirror. Because Shen Shiyi had tidied up her hair, she looked a lot neater and prettier.
Thankfully, her face wasn’t all greasy, or she would have died of embarrassment!
Song Zhiqi sighed in relief, rubbed her face to wake herself up, and secretly cursed the shameless person.
“Are you shy?” Shen Shiyi followed her to the bathroom door and leaned against the door frame, looking at her with a beaming face.
Song Zhiqi rolled her eyes at her, pushed her out, and closed the door. Her angry voice came through the door.
“You’re a big ghost head!”
Shen Shiyi laughed cheerfully, and in a good mood, she went back to the dining table, took out the breakfast she had brought, and arranged it. Then she rested her hands on the table and cupped her face. Her long legs were crossed under the table, and her toes were swinging slightly as she waited leisurely for a certain person to come back after washing up.
Song Zhiqi quickly washed up and then went back to her room to change her clothes. She felt much more comfortable now.
Shen Shiyi turned her head to look at her, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
Song Zhiqi was the type of person with a gentle face. At first glance, she looked a bit similar to herself, but on closer inspection, they were two completely different people.
With similar eyebrows and eyes, Shen Shiyi’s beauty was vibrant and bold, while Song Zhiqi’s was pure and reserved. This created two completely different types of beauty.
“Breakfast?” Shen Shiyi came back to her senses and chuckled, inviting her to eat.
Song Zhiqi: “…Are you sick?”
“Why are you swearing again?” Shen Shiyi said, looking wronged.
“Are we close?” Song Zhiqi frowned in annoyance. She came here early in the morning to get her out of bed just so she could have breakfast with her?
Shen Shiyi tilted her head, confused. “We’re not? I even know about the little mole under your left br3ast.”
“Ahh, shut up!”
Song Zhiqi’s face turned red. She went up and covered her mouth, glaring down at her. “Are you crazy? Why do you keep talking about that?”
The system said in a deep voice, “Isn’t this what you brought upon yourself?”
Song Zhiqi: “…You shut up, too!”
The system sighed melancholically.
With her mouth covered, Shen Shiyi blinked at her, raising her hands in a surrender gesture, indicating that she would really shut up.
Song Zhiqi snorted and let go of her. She looked at the breakfast on the table and was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that most of it was what she liked to eat.
“Tell me, why did you come here?” Sitting down opposite her, Song Zhiqi picked up a bowl of millet porridge and sipped it slowly.
Seeing that she was willing to eat the breakfast she had brought, the smile between Shen Shiyi’s eyebrows deepened. She cupped her face with her hands and said, “I missed you, so I came to see you.”
Song Zhiqi almost spat out a mouthful of porridge. She looked up and glared at her in annoyance. “Please don’t say such ambiguous things!”
“It’s the truth. How is it ambiguous?” Shen Shiyi said, displeased. Why was this person always unwilling to admit it?
Song Zhiqi took a sip of porridge resentfully. “I’ll reiterate! I’m straight!”
“You’re sitting very straight right now,” Shen Shiyi said, looking at her posture and nodding in satisfaction.
“Go away! I’m not talking about that!” Song Zhiqi said angrily.
Shen Shiyi let out a long sigh. “How many times have you been mean to me since I came in?”
“Only I can stand you.”
She ended it with a friendly smile.
“Bah! How dare you use such a low-level manipulation on me!” Song Zhiqi said disdainfully.
She was an expert on internet culture. If she let herself be manipulated by such a small trick, she would be letting down all the internet fees she had paid!
“Ah, you saw through me,” Shen Shiyi said, looking disappointed. “But you being mean to me is a fact!”
A beautiful and vibrant woman, showing such a pitiful look in front of you. It’s enough to make you feel something.
System: This perfect woman really has a few tricks up her sleeve.
Song Zhiqi’s face was expressionless. She wasn’t moved at all. She even sounded a little righteous. “Why can’t I be mean?”
Shen Shiyi picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks and fed it to her mouth. “Of course you can. I’ll just manipulate myself.”
Song Zhiqi: “…”
Damn it, this woman is really crazy!
System: You’re in for a treat.
Song Zhiqi heard the sarcasm in the system’s voice. Her face turned red with shame. She glared at Shen Shiyi and took a big bite of the shrimp dumpling she was feeding her, lowering her head and not looking at her.
Shen Shiyi was completely at ease. She leisurely grabbed a bowl of millet porridge for herself and started to drink it.
“Didn’t you have breakfast?”
In the end, it was Song Zhiqi who couldn’t help but ask first.
“Of course. Otherwise, can you finish all this breakfast by yourself?” Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow.
Song Zhiqi: “…”
She cursed in her heart. Why didn’t Shen Shiyi act like a perfect woman? She came here early in the morning just to have breakfast with her?
“I know you’re cursing me in your heart again,” Shen Shiyi said slowly.
“You’re full of crap…”
“Yep, you’re guilty.”
“…” Damn it.
Song Zhiqi moved all the crystal shrimp dumplings in front of her to her side. She picked one up and took a big bite!
Shen Shiyi chuckled. While Song Zhiqi wasn’t looking, she picked up a shrimp dumpling from in front of her and waved it in front of her, as if showing off.
Song Zhiqi: I’m going to…
Seeing that she wanted to bite her, Shen Shiyi smiled and said, “I won’t tease you anymore. Come with me to a place tonight.”
Song Zhiqi snorted. “No. We’re not close.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to be friends with me? Why aren’t we close anymore?” Shen Shiyi raised an eyebrow.
Song Zhiqi cursed inwardly. What kind of normal friends have a one-night stand?
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Shen Shiyi sighed softly. “That’s a shame. Fu Wen’s paying, so we won’t be able to rip him off.”
“What?!” Song Zhiqi immediately looked up at her. “With Fu Wen?!”
“Mhm. But since you said you’re not going, I’ll have to decline,” Shen Shiyi said, shrugging helplessly.
“I’ll go!” Song Zhiqi quickly said.
In that instant, Song Zhiqi figured out a way to get close to Fu Wen without having to worry about being forced: just be with Shen Shiyi when she sees him!
In front of the perfect woman he loves, can he really go too far?
Shen Shiyi’s eyebrows relaxed, and she nodded in satisfaction.
After breakfast, Shen Shiyi stretched and said, “Do you have any extra toiletries?”
“Huh?” Song Zhiqi immediately looked at her warily.
Shen Shiyi yawned. “Those people were making a lot of noise late last night, and I came here early in the morning. I haven’t gotten enough sleep yet.”
“?”
If you haven’t gotten enough sleep, go home!
“I’m too tired. It’s not good to drive while tired,” Shen Shiyi said as if she knew what Song Zhiqi was thinking.
Song Zhiqi: “…”
“Since I brought you breakfast, let me just rest here for a bit,” Shen Shiyi put her hands together and bowed to her.
“!!!”
“Don’t take away my life!”
Song Zhiqi immediately jumped to the side and stomped her foot on the ground. “There’s some in the second drawer on the right side of the sink…”
“You’re such a good person,” Shen Shiyi praised her sincerely.
Song Zhiqi’s face looked as if she was a cat whose neck was being held.
…
After Shen Shiyi finished washing up, she came out and said to Song Zhiqi, “Do you have any pajamas?”
Song Zhiqi’s face was full of question marks. “You want to wear my pajamas?”
“Hmm… it’s okay if I don’t,” Shen Shiyi looked her up and down and then said, seeming to realize something.
Right. Her pajamas probably wouldn’t fit her.
Then she opened the bedroom door as if it was her own home. It was a one-bedroom apartment, so she didn’t have to look for which door was Song Zhiqi’s bedroom.
“Wait! What are you doing!”
Just as she was recovering from Shen Shiyi’s seemingly condescending comment about her height, she saw her about to go into the bedroom and immediately panicked.
She hadn’t tidied up anything since she got up. The bed must be a mess, and the pajamas she had taken off were still lying at the foot of the bed.
However, Shen Shiyi was much faster than her. She entered the room and saw the SpongeBob SquarePants bed set and immediately burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at! All you do is laugh!” Song Zhiqi cursed with a straight face. She quickly went up and grabbed the pajamas at the foot of the bed, her ears secretly turning red.
Shen Shiyi’s smile did not fade. She raised her hands and started to unbutton her shirt. She quickly took off her shirt and the turtleneck underneath. The next step was to take off her pants.
Song Zhiqi: “???”
“What are you doing?”
“Taking off my clothes to sleep. Do you want me to sleep with my clothes on?”
As she spoke, Shen Shiyi had already stripped down to her underwear. She quickly got into bed and wrapped herself in Song Zhiqi’s blanket.
“…”
D*mn it.
