Hot Search Incoming: The Yandere Heiress’s Wife-Chasing Livestream - Chapter 103

Shi Mi hated seeing Gu Zhichou like this, as if she were carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Sometimes, Shi Mi truly believed she was utterly useless, even though Gu Zhichou always insisted she had saved her countless times.

Shi Mi still felt she wasn’t worth it.

She didn’t deserve such devotion from Gu Zhichou.

Gu Zhichou crouched down to tend to Shi Mi’s wounds, even though she herself was far more severely injured.

Shi Mi’s bloody handprints still stained Gu Zhichou’s arm, turning her skin a delicate pink.

Thankfully, the knife cut wasn’t deep; Gu Zhichou hadn’t acted too impulsively.

Otherwise, they’d be back in the hospital again.

Shi Mi hated seeing Gu Zhichou in a hospital gown.

Even though Shi Mi was the one who had lost control, it was Gu Zhichou who had wielded the knife.

She was filled with regret, yet she couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter for this woman.

I must be crazy, Shi Mi thought.

She reached for the medicine and grabbed a damp towel to wipe the bl00d from her arm.

The gash looked hideous.

Gu Zhichou wore a half-smile, occasionally grimacing and crying out in pain, drawing worried glances from Shi Mi.

Then she would receive a sweet kiss.

“Little Mute, why are you being so good? Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?”

Shi Mi pouted and huffed.

“Even with your injury, you’re still so stubborn.”

“Gu Zhichou, I’ve never been good.”

She couldn’t speak before, but now that she could, she naturally became more assertive.

Gu Zhichou found it incredibly pleasing to hear her call his full name.

How can someone say their own name so sweetly, so adorably?

“Exactly, you’re not good at all. You’re terribly naughty.”

The tips of Shi Mi’s ears flushed red, and she quickly changed the subject.

“Are you going downstairs to eat later?”

Gu Zhichou hummed in response, giving her a meaningful glance.

“What else? Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the parents.”

As she spoke, she propped her chin on her uninjured hand and leaned in to nibble on Shi Mi’s earlobe.

“My beautiful daughter-in-law definitely needs to be introduced too.”

Wasn’t I just your girlfriend? How did I suddenly become your wife?!

The heat on Shi Mi’s face exploded, followed by a languid “Wife~” whispered in her ear.

“Little Mute, call me ‘wife’ too, just once.”

Gu Zhichou knew Shi Mi was easily embarrassed in this area, so she teased her maliciously.

Before Shi Mi could speak, she would never have voiced such a direct desire, fearing it would hurt her partner’s pride.

But Gu Zhichou’s worries were completely unfounded. Shi Mi only grew more determined to regain her voice.

In front of the person she loved, pride meant nothing.

In other words, Shi Mi’s heart was pure and focused entirely on loving Gu Zhichou.

She also trusted Gu Zhichou completely, believing she would never abandon her.

Gu Zhichou glanced at her bandaged wound and casually slipped on a nightgown to cover it.

“Little Mute,” she asked offhandedly, “are you a love-obsessed idiot?”

Shi Mi tilted her head in confusion. “What’s a love-obsessed idiot?”

“Someone whose brain is filled with nothing but romance. They’d do anything for the person they love, ignoring all advice from others.”

As Gu Zhichou spoke, she suddenly realized she was describing herself.

Before, when no one believed her, she had stubbornly clung to her belief in Shi Mi’s existence.

Waiting for a dream to come true is exhausting and often feels hopeless.

Hanging in the air, on the verge of falling.

Every decision leaves no room for retreat.

Shi Mi pondered the word earnestly before pressing a kiss to Gu Zhichou’s lips.

“Then I’m a love-obsessed fool.”

Gu Zhichou chuckled at her solemn expression and tapped her forehead.

“That’s usually a derogatory term, you know? You shouldn’t use it on yourself.”

Shi Mi retaliated with a tap of her own and playfully pinched Gu Zhichou’s cheek.

Warm sunlight gathered in her eyes.

“But I just like you. No matter what anyone says, it won’t change a thing.”

“My mind is filled with nothing but you.”

Gu Zhichou’s heart suddenly raced. She realized she couldn’t handle such directness. Her cheeks burned, and she awkwardly turned her head away.

“You’re so dense.”

“You’re not love-struck.”

“I am…”

Now Shi Mi was confused again. How could Gu Zhichou change her expression so quickly?

She had said it was a derogatory term, not something to be used on herself.

Yet now she was using it.

Gu Zhichou didn’t care about such contradictions. Eager to hide her embarrassment, she moved to clean the room.

The bloodstained sheets couldn’t be concealed; she’d have to rely on Ning Yiyuan. Since he had already helped, he would surely see it through.

Hide them for now, she thought.

Shi Mi, concerned about Gu Zhichou’s injured arm, refused to let her do any work.

So Gu Zhichou found herself pressed onto the bed, staring blankly, her eyes wide with bewilderment.

After everything was taken care of, Shi Mi led her out by the hand.

Shi Mi seemed genuinely convinced they were going to meet Gu Zhichou’s parents, her expression solemn.

Xia Zhaoxun watched them, utterly bewildered.

“Did you two… have a fight?”

Gu Zhichou: ?

“No, Mom. She can’t even speak properly. How could we fight?”

Xia Zhaoxun narrowed her eyes, her expression saying, Don’t think you can fool me.

What mother doesn’t know her own daughter?

Her words… it was indeed possible she didn’t understand.

Xia Zhaoxun felt a sudden wave of disappointment and fell silent.

Xue Yang, who had woken up at some point, glanced back from the sofa and let out a massive yawn.

If I disagree, Xia Zhaoxun definitely won’t agree either.

How could Gu Zhichou ever be happy with someone so mismatched?

Xue Yang had forgotten.

Xia Zhaoxun had married into a family of equal status, yet she hadn’t found happiness either.

Shi Mi surveyed the atmosphere and realized it didn’t match what Gu Zhichou had described.

Is this really what meeting the parents is like?

She signed to Gu Zhichou:

Isn’t this supposed to be meeting the parents?

Xia Zhaoxun glanced at the signs and asked Gu Zhichou, “What did she say?”

Gu Zhichou lied through her teeth.

“She said you’re really beautiful.”

Shi Mi initially thought her signs were too complicated for Xia Zhaoxun to understand. After a moment’s thought, she switched to simpler ones:

You’re lying to me.

Xia Zhaoxun frowned again. “What’s she saying now?”

Gu Zhichou winked. “This time, she’s complimenting my beauty.”

Shi Mi: …

Of course, she’s just teasing me again. How could this possibly be meeting the parents?

And how could I ever be good enough?

Gu Zhichou dared not act impulsively, having understood Xue Yang’s warning.

Naturally, she wouldn’t let Xia Zhaoxun find out either.

Gu Zhichou stole a glance at Shi Mi, relieved to see her expression unchanged. She seemed not to have read too much into it.

Gu Zhichou instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want certain things; she simply never had the chance.

Shi Mi, for her part, hadn’t harbored excessive expectations. Everything was unfolding as she’d anticipated.

She wouldn’t blame Gu Zhichou, only herself.

It was only because she had allowed herself to hope that the disappointment stung.

If anyone was to blame, it was Shi Mi for overthinking.

Gu Zhichou had always been one for playful banter—perfectly normal. Why take it to heart?

Xia Zhaoxun cleared her throat, sensing the awkward atmosphere between them. Deciding to break the tension, she spoke up:

“Who wants to try my cooking first?”

After all, this meal was meant for Xue Yang. Someone had to test it for poison.

Ning Yiyuan had quietly positioned himself by the door. Gu Zhichou pulled Shi Mi to sit beside Xue Yang.

Xia Zhaoxun was left standing alone, speechless.
