Hot Search Incoming: The Yandere Heiress’s Wife-Chasing Livestream - Chapter 50

Where am I locked up now, waiting to see the light of day again?

Gu Zhichou lowered her head, feeling utterly useless.

I can’t do anything.

She touched her chest, faintly recalling the searing pain.

Lifting her head, she saw someone standing by the window, watching her.

With a cold laugh, she tossed the fruit in her hand into the trash.

Ning Yiyuan asked, puzzled, “Young Miss, aren’t you going to visit?”

Gu Zhichou pulled sunglasses from her pocket and put them on, her chestnut curls covering her ears.

“I’ll go, of course. But not right now.”

Since the plot had moved her to the hospital entrance without forcing her inside, why rush to see that sour face?

I’ll go pick out a gift for Little Mute first.

What if I run into her on the way?

Got it, Zhizhi’s going to prepare a Valentine’s Day gift.

Even though we don’t know the date, it probably isn’t Valentine’s Day, right?

Actually, the 14th of every month is Valentine’s Day.

Gu Zhichou’s ears flushed crimson as she read their comments.

She crossed her arms and lifted her chin haughtily.

“This young miss is going to the mall to buy something,” she declared disdainfully to Ning Yiyuan.

“As you wish, Young Miss.”

No wonder she threw away the fruit. She’s going to buy something better to give him.

What a waste. I personally picked those out.

While Ning Yiyuan still mourned the lost fruit, his body had already driven Gu Zhichou to the mall.

“Uncle Ning, why are you daydreaming while driving?”

Ning Yiyuan sighed. “Some people die, but their spirit lives on. Some fruit is alive, but it’s already in the trash.”

Gu Zhichou: What’s with this nonsense?

The world is finally going mad the way I want it to.

“Alright, alright, I wasted food, I get it.”

Truth be told, she only wanted to provoke Qiao Zhiyue, who was watching. Gu Zhichou had no intention of giving her the slightest impression that she harbored any goodwill.

Ning Yiyuan glanced at her in the rearview mirror, thinking, She still looks so trusting, but something feels different now. She probably won’t fall for Qiao Zhiyue’s tricks again.

Lately, time seemed to be passing too quickly, though he couldn’t explain why.

Gu Zhichou entered the mall and headed straight upstairs.

She had a specific purpose in mind.

She had long wanted to buy Shi Mi the best camera available. But the plot had been too tightly woven, and whenever Shi Mi appeared, he always prioritized spending time with her.

They had never had the chance to go shopping together, let alone buy anything.

Back then, Gu Zhichou had always worried that whatever she bought might disappear in the next scene.

So this time, she’d learned her lesson. After buying the camera, she entrusted it to Ning Yiyuan for safekeeping until Shi Mi could retrieve it.

As for Valentine’s Day…

Gu Zhichou cupped her burning cheeks. It’s just a gift, she thought. Does a gift really need a holiday to be given?

If Shi Mi hadn’t been so indifferent to material possessions, Gu Zhichou would have taken her on a shopping spree and a culinary tour around the world long ago.

Thinking about it, Shi Mi’s world had always revolved around her and her relentless work.

Gu Zhichou’s heart swelled with sweetness, but her expression remained solemn.

As she browsed, she muttered, “It’s not my fault someone likes me so much. I’ll just pick something random to appease her.”

Despite her casual words, she ended up wandering through the store for over two hours before finally leaving, satisfied, with a camera in her arms.

It was heavy, but the thought of whether Shi Mi would like it made her anxious again.

Last time, Shi Mi had claimed not to enjoy taking photos, yet she had taken so many, even secretly using a picture of Gu Zhichou as her phone wallpaper.

So cunning, Gu Zhichou thought. She’s just being stubborn, just like me.

Still muttering to herself, Gu Zhichou suddenly spotted a familiar figure. At first, she thought she was mistaken.

The faceless person has reappeared! Doesn’t he look familiar?

Right, it was in the dressing room last time…

Gu Zhichou was stunned. Now she remembered—Shi Mi had completely distracted her thoughts back then, making her forget all about it.

Before she could get a clear look at the person, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.

“Gu Little Mouse, what are you doing here?”

Gu Zhichou turned to find her beloved cousin, Ren Qingwen.

When she looked back for the figure, it had vanished again.

Ren Qingwen raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking, If you could catch her, I wouldn’t be your cousin. The person I’m raising can’t be discovered by you yet.

Ren Qingwen kept her hidden deep, rarely giving her a chance to appear. This was one of the few “Passerby A” characters she could keep locked up—or rather, one of the faceless figures in the bullet comments’ eyes.

She was also devising a way to truly imprison her, preventing her from being summoned to other panels. It was a kind of research, in a way.

Gu Zhichou slapped Ren Qingwen’s hand away, snapping, “What else would I be doing here? Shopping, of course. What about you?”

Ren Qingwen smiled sweetly. “The Earth is round, isn’t it? Why shouldn’t we meet?”

“Don’t use your cheesy pickup lines on me. Ugh.”

Gu Zhichou hugged her camera and walked ahead, feeling a little disappointed.

I thought I might see Shi Mi here. Guess I was just getting my hopes up.

Ren Qingwen glanced at a corner, pressed a finger to her lips, and her eyes turned cold.

Shh, don’t come out. Only I can see you and notice you.

Her face was as cold as ice, but the corners of her pale, thin lips curled upward, as if hiding a razor-sharp blade.

I let her slip out a few times before. I hope she didn’t cause any trouble.

“Oh, by the way, do you know why Li Mei didn’t come to the dance that night?”

Gu Zhichou’s expression remained blank. “Not interested.”

“Because someone slept with her.” Ren Qingwen giggled, her information network clearly exceptional.

Gu Zhichou was momentarily surprised but quickly dismissed it.

At that time, it definitely wasn’t Qiao Zhiyue who slept with her.

Ren Qingwen sighed dramatically, feigning regret. “The thought of my adorable little sister eventually being slept with makes me so sad…”

“Hey! If anyone’s doing the sleeping, it’ll be me sleeping with someone else, okay?” Gu Zhichou retorted, pouting.

She recalled her moments with Shi Mi in bed: kneeling, tilting her head back, her face burning from Shi Mi’s gentle slaps.

And that woman would always write words in her palm, as if casting a spell.

It took only an instant to fall into depravity.

Noticing her spaced-out expression, Ren Qingwen tapped Gu Zhichou’s head thoughtfully. “Gu Little Mouse, did you really get laid?”

Gu Zhichou scoffed dismissively.

“I just ate too many red beans.”

“Trying to die?”

“……”

It was lovesickness.

Gu Zhichou truly didn’t want to exchange another word with this person.

She strode out of the mall and handed the camera to Ning Yiyuan.

“Keep this safe. If it gets lost, your salary for the month…”

“Young Miss, rest assured!”

Ning Yiyuan sighed inwardly. When did the Young Miss learn to take photos?

It must be for Madam Qiao.

But why would she ask me to keep it safe?

Ren Qingwen glanced down at her watch, wondering why Gu Zhichou hadn’t gone to the hospital yet.

Although the upcoming scenes didn’t require her, she still needed to be there to make up the numbers.

Just as she looked up, Gu Zhichou was already driving away without a word.

Ren Qingwen smiled helplessly, realizing she’d annoyed him again.

A girl darted out from a corner and rushed into Ren Qingwen’s arms.

“Sister Ren, I… I’ve been looking for you for so long.”

Ren Qingwen held her close, her gaze softening.

She gently stroked the girl’s hair and sighed. “Don’t run off like that again.”

“Wei Sheng.”
