Before Going on a Variety Show, the Actress Lost Her Memory - Chapter 7

The humid air carried a tantalizing haze, and the sound of panting breaths painted the night with a seductive allure.

Beneath the hazy moonlight, the beauty’s eyes were tinged with a delicate blush.

Even on a spring night, a hint of coolness lingered, clinging to the skin like a hesitant touch.

A gust of wind swept through, bringing with it both dampness and chill, drifting over their bodies from head to toe.

“Sister Xi, let’s go back, okay? What if we get photographed out here?”

Xi Xiuyun didn’t respond. In the dimly lit workshop, Yu Wenyu gazed at Xi Xiuyun through a drunken haze.

Is her Sister Xi always so composed?

Xi Xiuyun’s collar was only slightly rumpled, her eyes tinged with color, yet she remained breathtakingly beautiful.

Meanwhile, Yu Wenyu felt dizzy, the mingled scent of alcohol growing stronger, further intoxicating her.

Yu Wenyu bit her lip, surrendering to the soft yet fiery kisses Xi Xiuyun pressed against her.

“Ayu, we can go back, but you have to agree to one condition,” Xi Xiuyun murmured against Yu Wenyu’s skin, her words slurred.

Yu Wenyu desperately wanted to avoid tomorrow’s headlines screaming about her “loss of control.” Without thinking it through, she agreed to Xi Xiuyun’s condition.

The bullied lamb had fallen into the big bad wolf’s carefully laid trap.

The little lamb saw the triumphant glint in the wolf’s eyes and sensed danger, wanting to back out.

But the wolf’s seductive charm had her completely bewitched, momentarily forgetting that cunning and treachery were in a wolf’s nature.

As they reached the wolf’s doorstep, a blast of cold wind cleared the lamb’s head of its lust-induced haze.

The little lamb suddenly remembered the unhinged madness she had glimpsed in the wolf’s eyes earlier and struggled to escape.

As if anticipating this, the big bad wolf tightened her grip on the lamb, carrying her back to her den without allowing any resistance.

The moment the door closed, Yu Wenyu was overwhelmed by Xi Xiuyun’s domineering presence.

Warm, scalding.

Xi Xiuyun’s icy aura swept over her like a tidal wave.

“Focus…” The voice, strained with suppressed anger, carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

By mid-morning, Yu Wenyu’s head throbbed. She couldn’t quite grasp what had happened, only fragmented memories piecing themselves together.

She felt like a fish in Xi Xiuyun’s hand, swimming aimlessly back and forth.

Xi Xiuyun seemed particularly fascinated by this fish, scooping her out of the damp water.

She cradled her in her palm, carefully stroking her scales and gently parting her fins with slender fingers.

A light tickle made the fish squirm, desperate to return to the tank.

Just then, Xi Xiuyun withdrew her hand. The fish thought the cruel human had finally had a change of heart and relaxed, ready to rest. But the faint metallic scent of bl00d from the human’s shoulder jolted her awake.

Even a fish will bite when cornered.

Yet the wicked human remained unfazed. Somehow, Xi Xiuyun’s lips now carried that same faint metallic tang.

Humans all possess a primal thirst for bl00d.

When Yu Wenyu woke up, fragments of the night flashed through her mind, her face flushing and her heart racing.

But the tormenting instigator had already left for work.

Recalling her loss of control the previous night, Yu Wenyu felt a pang of embarrassment.

The scene had been chaotic and shameful: her eyes glazed over, staring blankly at the ceiling, her body tense and utterly disheveled.

She didn’t want Xi Xiuyun to see her in such a disheveled state. Yet, ironically, Xiuyun was the one who had caused it all.

Xi Xiuyun’s clinginess was infuriating, or perhaps Yu Wenyu had simply never truly understood her before.

Now that Xi Xiuyun’s… peculiarities had been exposed, Yu Wenyu found them overwhelming.

However, yesterday’s incident had also reminded Yu Wenyu that Xi Xiuyun’s loss of control must have been connected to the gathering.

The moment Yu Wenyu stepped outside yesterday, Xi Xiuyun had whisked her into a car, then inexplicably forced her to sign a humiliating agreement.

Yu Wenyu hadn’t even had time to react before Xi Xiuyun’s kisses left her begging for mercy.

Now, with time to think, she still couldn’t make sense of it. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Xi Xiuyun’s brazen, lustful gaze.

Days passed, each one a struggle. During the day, Yu Wenyu probed Xi Xiuyun, while at night, she desperately tried to protect herself. The past week had been agonizing.

Finally, the variety show premiered, and Yu Wenyu felt like she had found a savior.

For the first three episodes, cameras would be installed in their homes for live streaming. At least she wouldn’t have to be so guarded anymore.

In the warm spring of March, flowers bloomed and all things revived, their lush branches stretching skyward.

The clear, azure sky resembled the tender, longing gaze of a young maiden—captivating and gentle.

After two years of anticipation, the Chinese netizens’ long-awaited romance reality show finally premiered.

Sunlight streamed into the lavishly decorated room as Xi Xiuyun appeared on camera, as refined and aloof as ever.

“Hello everyone! Ayu is still asleep.”

The sudden beauty assault from the screen left viewers stunned, instantly transforming them into screaming chickens.

“Aaaaaah! Best Actress Xi! Mom, help! She’s so gorgeous!”

“It’s been ages since I last saw this woman! How did she get even more beautiful?! 😭”

“Yu Zai! Yu Zai! I want Yu Zai! Best Actress Xi, you’ll pay for stealing my wife!”

Each low-angle camera was equipped with a display screen showing the live feed and real-time comments.

Xi Xiuyun noticed a fleeting comment flash across the screen, a shadow passing through her eyes, though barely perceptible.

A hint of amusement then curved her lips as she went to wake Yu Wenyu.

“Am I imagining things? Best Actress Xi’s eyes just looked so strained.”

“Even though… I kind of felt it too. Could they be having relationship problems? And they still have to act in front of the cameras?”

“Are you guys crazy? Best Actress Xi and Yu Zai have been married for three years! They’re childhood sweethearts! Stop spreading nonsense.”

“Watch your words! Best Actress Xi’s lawyers are watching!”

“Ahhh! Stop arguing! It’s Yu Zai! Yu Zai! sniffle She’s such a beauty!”

“!!! Holy sh1t!”

“! Holy sh1t! What just happened? Was that a kiss? In that position?! Holy sh1t!”

“Ahhh, Yu Zai! What are you doing with your hands?! That’s not allowed!”

Earlier, Xi Xiuyun had gone to wake Yu Wenyu, intending to let her sleep longer. But some viewers, their lustful desires undeterred, dared to fantasize about her wife.

Thus unfolded the scene that had the live chat in shock.

Xi Xiuyun had simply gone to wake Yu Wenyu and give her a quick good morning kiss—a fleeting touch.

But Yu Wenyu, half-asleep and still groggy, instinctively deepened the kiss.

Xi Xiuyun’s lips were cool and soft, like jelly, and Yu Wenyu couldn’t help but become lost in the moment.

After only a few seconds, Yu Wenyu suddenly realized the live stream must have already started. Frozen in panic, she blinked her innocent, wide eyes at Xi Xiuyun.

Xi Xiuyun chuckled softly, her low, gentle voice only adding to Yu Wenyu’s already mortifying situation.

In the end, Xi Xiuyun took charge. With an unruffled expression, she ruffled the cat’s fluffy head and went to the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste onto Yu Wenyu’s brush.

Yu Wenyu, curled up in a ball of embarrassment, awkwardly picked at the floor for a while before finally facing the situation. She walked past the monitor and greeted the viewers.

“Yu Zai, I never expected Best Actress Xi to be the one getting dominated!”

“Yu Zai, don’t be shy! It’s totally understandable that you couldn’t resist—Best Actress Xi is just too gorgeous!”

“Yu Zai… your kiss mark is showing! Oh my god!”

Yu Wenyu: !!!!!

She was numb. How many more social deaths would it take to earn a ticket to another planet?
