Hot Search Incoming: The Yandere Heiress’s Wife-Chasing Livestream - Chapter 36

Ren Qingwen only remembered because she happened to see it in a manga.

Without the book by her side, Ren Qingwen was no different from any other minor character.

But… why hadn’t Li Mei been drawn to Qiao Zhiyue?

She scrutinized Li Mei’s furrowed brow. If this woman hadn’t deviated from the plot, Shi Mi might not have reached Gu Zhichou in time to save her.

Li Mei tilted her head, raising an eyebrow. “What’s with the staring? Got a crush on me?”

“Does Chairman Ren have a thing for me?”

Ren Qingwen rolled her eyes. Give me a break. I’m not interested in anyone.

“I thought you were into her?”

She glanced at Qiao Zhiyue, who had just climbed out of the pool. After being dragged underwater, Qiao Zhiyue was immediately surrounded by other swimmers, making it impossible for her to approach Gu Zhichou and Li Mei.

Li Mei fell silent for a moment, her gaze deepening.

Her dyed blonde hair cascaded down her back, and the low neckline of her dress hinted at a subtle fragrance. Her slender figure and willow-leaf eyes carried a hint of sharpness.

Parting her crimson lips slightly, she asked, “What’s her name?”

Ren Qingwen chuckled, a hint of mockery in her tone. She had always believed that being scripted to fall in love didn’t guarantee genuine affection. But that required someone with the will to defy the plot.

“Qiao Zhiyue.”

“What, you’re really going to pursue her?”

Li Mei neither nodded nor shook her head, instead turning the question back on Ren Qingwen. “Have you ever felt your heart flutter?”

Ren Qingwen froze, then her eyes curved slightly, her smile radiant yet icy.

“Do you think someone like me could ever feel moved?”

“You’re right,” Li Mei nodded. After knowing Ren Qingwen for so many years, she understood how casually she treated emotions.

“I believe I should like her,” Ren Qingwen said, lowering her head with a smile, but she was stunned by Li Mei’s next words.

“But I don’t feel moved.”

“So this ‘like’ is fake, and I don’t even know where it came from.”

Li Mei’s perceptiveness surprised Ren Qingwen.

But a character couldn’t simply develop self-awareness.

To think so deeply while still under control was truly unexpected.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhichou carried Shi Mi in her arms as she approached them, her smile brighter than ever, even a bit smug.

“Shall we go inside to rest?”

Ren Qingwen nodded. “You go ahead. I brought so many people here; we can’t leave so soon.”

Gu Zhichou nodded, glanced at Li Mei, and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Ren Qingwen asked the person beside her, “Do you know who she’s holding?”

Li Mei looked puzzled. “Is she holding someone?”

A gentle breeze stirred, and Ren Qingwen’s gaze flickered before she lowered her head.

“No.”

“I must have misseen.”

Gu Zhichou happily carried Shi Mi back to the changing room.

They had both been wearing swimsuits since arriving at this scene.

Shi Mi was soaked, so they needed to change into dry clothes quickly.

But there were no spare clothes for Shi Mi here, only Gu Zhichou’s…

Why does the story always cut off at the crucial moment? What did I miss again?

Can someone explain who this person next to Zhizhi is?

Huh? You haven’t seen her before? The author drew her a long time ago.

Some plot points were deleted.

Gu Zhichou was too preoccupied to read the bullet comments. She was holding out clothes for Shi Mi to change into, her back turned and her ears flushed crimson.

“Just wear my clothes,” she said. “Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t peek.”

Shi Mi suppressed a smile, wondering what absurd thoughts were running through Gu Zhichou’s mind.

Even if Gu Zhichou did want to look, Shi Mi would be perfectly willing.

After all…

That night, they had come so close to being completely vulnerable with each other.

But that time, she was taken back too soon.

So she didn’t have enough time.

Gu Zhichou’s clothes fit Shi Mi perfectly—not too big, not too small, just right.

Their sizes were similar, so Shi Mi wore them without any discomfort.

But with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she bit her lip and tugged at the corner of Gu Zhichou’s shirt.

“What’s wrong?”

Thinking the clothes didn’t fit, Gu Zhichou turned to look, only to be met with a deep, passionate kiss.

Gu Zhichou instantly succumbed, wrapping her arms around Shi Mi’s waist and pressing her against the wall.

Her lowered lashes trembled slightly as she gently bit Shi Mi’s lips, her teeth grazing the soft flesh.

“Little Mute, you seem to have been…”

Sensing Gu Zhichou was about to say something, Shi Mi tightened her grip on Gu Zhichou’s neck, preventing her from pulling away.

Gu Zhichou let out a muffled groan, her fingers tightening around the back of Shi Mi’s neck.

“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”

Their scalding moisture mingled, both clutching at each other’s vital points, yet neither felt any pain.

Gu Zhichou noticed Shi Mi’s shallow breaths and wanted to ask something.

She pressed her lips together, then gave up.

What could she ask?

What are you thinking about when we kiss?

Could she really ask that?

Instead, she moved her neck petulantly and said, “Are you holding me so tightly because you’re afraid I’ll run away?”

Shi Mi gazed at her with a smile, her hand on Gu Zhichou’s neck tightening slightly.

She wedged one leg between Gu Zhichou’s knees.

Her watery eyes were utterly innocent.

She simply enjoyed Gu Zhichou’s indulgent, vulnerable gaze.

Especially when Shi Mi gripped her neck, Gu Zhichou would still smile nonchalantly, the corners of her lips curling upward.

So obedient it’s infuriating.

Shi Mi only pretended to be obedient, but Gu Zhichou was genuinely so.

It was just a stubborn facade.

Even when scolding Shi Mi, there was no hint of seriousness in her tone.

Shi Mi released her grip and instead wrapped her arms around Gu Zhichou’s neck. With a leap, she was hoisted up, her legs cradled by Gu Zhichou’s arms.

The soft warmth pressed against her chest, a subtle heat radiating between them.

Shi Mi traced words on Gu Zhichou’s back with her fingertips:

I don’t want you to leave.

Gu Zhichou was always startled by these gestures, yet she dutifully held Shi Mi close.

“I… I don’t know either,” she murmured. “But for now, I don’t think I’ll be leaving.”

“What about you?”

Shi Mi tilted her head and bit Gu Zhichou’s earlobe. Gu Zhichou’s body shuddered, nearly collapsing.

This is the changing room! What if someone comes in?

Gritting her teeth, she hissed a warning: “Don’t move like that, or I’ll drop you. Then you’ll have something real to cry about.”

Would you really do that?

Shi Mi’s lips curved into a teasing smile as she tightened her legs around Gu Zhichou’s waist. Cupping Gu Zhichou’s face, she gently patted her cheek and casually signed:

I won’t leave.

The sign was simple enough for Gu Zhichou to understand instantly.

This must be her answer to my earlier question about whether she’d leave.

But the words carried a double meaning:

Did she not want to leave, or was she unable to?

After all, Shi Mi’s presence in this situation must mean she had a mission to fulfill.

Gu Zhichou finally realized what she had overlooked.

“Little Mute, how did you suddenly appear in the water?”

Just like a mermaid, she had suddenly surfaced.

Shi Mi thought for a moment. Actually, she had woken up in the pool this time.

But there were too many people.

To reach Gu Zhichou, she had to swim underwater.

The moment she arrived, she saw that woman about to touch Gu Zhichou.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the woman’s leg and pulled her into the water.

It was too complicated for Shi Mi to explain clearly.

Seeing her expression, Gu Zhichou understood what had happened and decided not to press further.

She pinched Shi Mi’s cheek and tugged gently.

“It’s okay. None of that matters anymore.”

“Having you is all that matters.”
