Hot Search Incoming: The Yandere Heiress’s Wife-Chasing Livestream - Chapter 37

The two had barely shared a moment of intimacy when footsteps echoed outside the changing room door.

Gu Zhichou nearly jumped out of her skin.

She quickly pulled Shi Mi into a corner, where a storage area offered a hidden space.

Shi Mi couldn’t help but laugh at her. “What’s the point of hiding? So what if someone sees us?”

“The other characters shouldn’t even notice me,” she reasoned. “And if they do, they’ll forget about it later anyway.”

Seeing Shi Mi’s amusement, Gu Zhichou’s face flushed crimson. She bit down hard on Shi Mi’s lip, demanding, “Don’t laugh.”

“I’m the young mistress. How could I possibly…”

…be seen by others?

Yet she had already kissed Shi Mi in front of Ren Qingwen and Li Mei earlier. It was just that they would forget.

Shi Mi seized the opportunity to pat Gu Zhichou’s head, like soothing a puppy. “No more laughing.”

Gu Zhichou hadn’t expected to be head-patted so carelessly. Fury surged through her, and she twisted Shi Mi’s waist sharply.

Tears sprang to Shi Mi’s eyes from the sudden pain. She buried her face in Gu Zhichou’s shoulder and refused to acknowledge her.

Panicked, Gu Zhichou thought she had genuinely hurt her. After a moment of internal conflict, she awkwardly apologized, “I didn’t mean to…”

“Why don’t you pinch me back?”

But Shi Mi remained motionless, neither writing nor signing.

She looked as if she were asleep.

Gu Zhichou lowered her gaze, looking utterly pitiful.

Leaning in, she kissed Shi Mi’s earlobe and whispered, “I was wrong…”

“I don’t know how much time we have.”

“So, please don’t ignore me.”

Shi Mi lifted her head and suddenly smiled.

Cupping Shi Mi’s face, Gu Zhichou kissed the corner of her eye, a light, fleeting touch like a cloud wiping away tears.

Those phoenix eyes had looked so vulnerable until Gu Zhichou kissed her.

Then, a smile bloomed again, like mist parting to reveal gentle ripples.

A tender song seemed to rise from her heart.

Gu Zhichou couldn’t resist kissing her back, pinning her tightly against the corner.

“Why are you so mean…” Shi Mi murmured, her voice filled with wounded pride, muttering about how she had lost all the dignity befitting a young lady of her status.

But Gu Zhichou suddenly remembered the image of Shi Mi saving her earlier.

A soft light spread through her eyes.

“Never mind.”

“I don’t mind.”

For you, I can give you all my tenderness.

It’s one of the few things I can offer you.

Gu Zhichou released Shi Mi and took her hand to open the dressing room door.

Shi Mi’s thumb traced words on Gu Zhichou’s palm.

Aren’t you scared anymore?

Gu Zhichou glanced back with a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling.

“Do you think I’m someone who runs from trouble?”

“Little Mute, I’m braver than you think.”

If you hadn’t come, I would have fought with the determination to die.

She had even considered how to kill herself.

Shi Mi smiled faintly and nodded gently.

I understand.

I believe you.

When Gu Zhichou opened the locker room door, she found a girl she had never seen before standing outside.

The girl was fair-skinned and looked very innocent.

Hesitantly, she asked them, “Do you know where Sister Ren is?”

“No idea,” Gu Zhichou replied curtly, pulling Shi Mi away without paying further attention to the girl.

The girl lowered her head in disappointment, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity about the person beside Gu Zhichou.

I think I saw them by the pool earlier.

Kissing.

They must be a couple.

The girl shook her head, thinking she should hurry and find Sister Ren.

Why is there another faceless character? Is this what we get after the update hiatus?

Finally, we see the delivery girl again! Does anyone even remember her?

I bought the official version! Why is so much content being cut?

Gu Zhichou glanced at the bullet comments, feeling a flicker of confusion.

No face drawn? Passerby A?

Wait, who was I just thinking about? I can’t remember.

Shi Mi noticed Gu Zhichou’s distraction, her expression instantly darkening.

Her fingers tightened around Gu Zhichou’s, causing a sharp pain that made her turn her head.

“Little Mute, what’s wrong?”

But Shi Mi showed no emotion, her gaze cold and unwavering.

Assuming Shi Mi felt neglected, Gu Zhichou quickly tried to placate her.

“I wasn’t ignoring you. I was just thinking about…”

Ten fingers connected to the heart… this grip is unbearable.

Her body went limp, and she leaned heavily against Shi Mi.

“It hurts so much.”

“I won’t think about anyone else, okay?”

Shi Mi’s other hand reached out to slap her cheek, her lips brushing lightly against it—a gesture that felt like punishment.

The slaps grew harsher. Gu Zhichou bit her lower lip, her fingers trembling.

“Little Mute…”

She knew she had guessed right: Shi Mi was angry.

Angry that she had been thinking about someone else.

The heart-wrenching pain made it impossible to focus on anything else.

Shi Mi leaned against the corridor wall, leaving Gu Zhichou no choice but to collapse against her.

She whispered apologies.

Yet, staring into Shi Mi’s icy eyes, she felt a strange thrill.

At least now, this person seemed more like she had a self.

A little more pain, or perhaps this pain would last a lifetime.

What did it matter?

The more Shi Mi cared for her, the more Gu Zhichou felt fulfilled.

Since the other woman wouldn’t speak, she could reveal her vulnerabilities without fear of judgment.

Even burying her face in Shi Mi’s arms to cry was permissible.

Her pain receptors repeatedly stimulated, Gu Zhichou gasped softly.

Shi Mi alternated between slapping her face and kissing her, as if forcing these sensations into her brain.

Her consciousness, seared by her soul’s burning desire, dominated her thoughts.

Leaning against Shi Mi’s chest, Gu Zhichou’s voice trembled with suppressed tears.

“I was really wrong.”

The soft, wet sensation on her lips urged her to go further, but she lacked the strength.

Shi Mi finally loosened her grip slightly, glancing at the reddened marks on Gu Zhichou’s fingers.

Far from feeling remorse, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

Gently massaging Gu Zhichou’s hand, she thought to herself, I can’t break her completely. How would I use her later?

Gu Zhichou pouted and turned her head away in a fit of pique.

“You’re bullying me again.”

“Can’t you give me some face?”

Her cheek still stung from the slap, though it hadn’t been a full-force blow.

Yet the tingling, itchy sensation was almost… pleasurable.

Gu Zhichou felt herself growing increasingly strange.

Her cheeks flushed crimson, but she still stole glances at Shi Mi from the corner of her eye.

After all, if Shi Mi didn’t come to coax her, she’d truly lose her temper.

Shi Mi watched her with a faint smile, admiring her own masterpiece.

Gu Zhichou had indeed been furious, even more so than before.

She could no longer tolerate the thought of Gu Zhichou’s mind being occupied by anyone else.

Not for a single second.

Any lingering thoughts had to be ruthlessly eradicated.

Then she would stuff her own heart into Gu Zhichou’s chest.

So that Gu Zhichou’s mind would be filled only with the sound of her heartbeat.

Fluttering for her, dazed by her.

The world was already empty enough. Why couldn’t she fill it with the person she loved?

Shi Mi relished seeing Gu Zhichou’s stubborn resistance crumble so quickly.

It made her feel like Gu Zhichou truly cared for her too.

She tilted her head and gently stroked Gu Zhichou’s reddened cheek. Gu Zhichou instinctively flinched.

Shi Mi’s eyes narrowed, and she slapped Gu Zhichou’s cheek again, harder this time.

She wrote on Gu Zhichou’s chest, feigning innocent frustration.

You’re avoiding me.
