The Cold Goddess Always Wants to Turn Me Gay (GL) - Chapter 46: Caught in the Act
Wei Zhi watched helplessly as she jumped. Those deep, sorrowful eyes cast one last glance at her, filled with unbearable pain. Pale lips curled into the faintest smile—mocking, or perhaps relieved.
“I hate you all.”
The low voice whispered beside her ear, laden with utter despair.
Wei Zhi lunged forward, fear seizing her body. She stretched out her hand, desperate to catch her.
Just a little more… This time, I can make it—
Thud.
The dull impact of a heavy weight hitting the ground.
Bright red bl00d stained the pavement. She stared at the woman on the ground, stunned, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Still… not enough?
Her heart tore apart in agony. Obsessively, she called out to her again and again, shaking her lifeless body. But the only response was the slow fading of warmth. The last flicker of hope in her heart extinguished. Around her, servants screamed in horror, and the man’s disbelieving voice joined the chaos. Countless sounds flooded her mind—everything was falling apart.
Someone pulled her up. The body on the ground was carried away.
She struggled to follow, but her legs refused to move, rooted to the spot. All she could do was watch as the distance between them grew.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, enveloped in darkness.
She knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the pool of bl00d. Her clothes were stained with glaring red, her hands covered in still-wet bl00d, and the tears in her eyes seemed endless.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but the air around her grew thinner, and her consciousness slowly faded.
It was so cold…
“No…” Wei Zhi opened her eyes, gasping for breath, fragments of the nightmare still lingering in her mind. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and only then realized her entire body was drenched. A shiver ran through her.
Outside, the sky was just beginning to lighten. The others hadn’t woken up yet.
She glanced back at Yu Xin Xin, who was still sleeping peacefully, soft and sweet. A faint smile tugged at Wei Zhi’s lips, and a trace of warmth seeped into her body.
She quietly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower. The slightly hot water cascaded over her, thawing her chilled body. Wei Zhi sighed—she hadn’t had nightmares in a long time. Was it because of Yu Xin Xin?
Then she began to worry again. How could she break through this delicate barrier between them?
By the time she stepped out of the bathroom, the others were already awake—except for Yu Xin Xin. Wei Zhi walked over and tugged lightly at her blanket. Yu Xin Xin mumbled something and rolled over. Wei Zhi couldn’t help but chuckle, her voice gentle as she said, “Xin Xin, time to get up.”
“Xin Xin…” She tugged the blanket again.
“…” Yu Xin Xin pouted drowsily. “Five more minutes… just five more minutes.”
Wei Zhi sighed helplessly. Checking the time, she set a five-minute alarm on her phone and placed it by Yu Xin Xin’s ear.
Five minutes later.
Yu Xin Xin was jolted awake by the shrill ringing. She sat up abruptly, all traces of sleepiness scared away.
Grabbing the phone, she turned off the alarm.
Huh. It was Wei Zhi’s phone.
Grumpily climbing out of bed, she shot Wei Zhi a displeased glare when she saw her trying to stifle a laugh before stomping off to wash up.
They were supposed to gather at 8 a.m. Their destination was in the suburbs, about an hour’s drive from the school. After breakfast, the three of them headed to the school gate to meet up. Yu Xin Xin had originally wanted to invite Han Yin along, but the latter said she had a date today. Watching Han Yin’s barely concealed smile, Yu Xin Xin felt a pang of envy.
Getting fed dog food first thing in the morning.
On the bus, Yu Xin Xin’s drowsiness returned. She yawned, her eyes glazing over with sleep.
“Still tired?” Wei Zhi asked with concern.
“Mhm, a little.” She turned her head and met a pair of caring eyes. Her heart softened, and the sleepiness faded slightly.
“Then why not sleep a little longer? It’ll probably take a while to get there.” Wei Zhi patted her shoulder, estimating the time.
Yu Xin Xin glanced at the offered shoulder but accidentally caught sight of the delicate collarbone beneath Wei Zhi’s slender neck.
Her skin is so fair.
Yu Xin Xin’s gaze lingered, and then she heard herself swallow. Embarrassed, she quickly looked away and declined, “No, thanks.”
Wei Zhi covered her lips with a light laugh. “Really?”
“Really.” Feeling the need to justify her refusal, she added, “You’re too thin. It wouldn’t be comfortable.”
Wei Zhi raised an eyebrow, uncrossed her legs, and patted her lap instead. Smiling, she said, “Then you can rest your head here. That should be comfortable enough.”
Yu Xin Xin was speechless. Here she goes again. Does she have to flirt every single day?
Yu Xinxin’s drowsiness completely vanished. “No need, thanks to you, I’m not sleepy at all now.”
Wei Zhi nodded with some disappointment. “Alright.”
Yu Xinxin ignored her and took out her phone to browse Weibo.
Wei Zhi gazed at Yu Xinxin with a hint of melancholy for a while. Seeing that the other party seemed uninterested in further interaction, she withdrew her gaze and looked out the window. The car had already left the city center, with skyscrapers gradually fading into the distance, replaced by more trees and greenery. She took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, feeling her mood relax.
After yesterday’s events, she realized she wanted to be with Yu Xinxin for the long term. But thinking of Wei Shenghong, she frowned. Although she didn’t care about his opinions, if he opposed it, it would likely cause significant trouble for Xinxin. Then there was Gu Mingxi—after her mother’s passing, she had openly displayed hostility toward Wei Zhi and repeatedly targeted the Wei Corporation. Rubbing her temples helplessly, Wei Zhi thought that if possible, she’d love to take Yu Xinxin and live abroad in seclusion. But clearly, that idea was far too unrealistic.
After browsing Weibo for a while, Yu Xinxin felt thirsty and was about to ask Wei Zhi if she had brought any water when a picturesque scene of a beauty leaning against the window caught her eye. Wei Zhi rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought, her brows slightly furrowed as she let out a soft sigh. Yu Xinxin couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.
There was no denying it—when Nuwa created humans, Wei Zhi must have received special attention. How could someone in this world be so breathtakingly beautiful? Every smile and frown tugged at heartstrings; every gesture exuded an icy allure. If placed in ancient times, she would undoubtedly be the type to bring kingdoms to ruin. Suddenly, Yu Xinxin understood why history had so many lustful, foolish emperors.
Who wouldn’t love such a fragrant, delicate beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms?
By the time Wei Zhi snapped out of her thoughts, she found Yu Xinxin staring at her, utterly spellbound, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What are you looking at?”
Yu Xinxin quickly averted her gaze from Wei Zhi’s face, clearing her throat awkwardly while mentally repeating to herself: I’m straight, I’m straight…
“At the scenery. Weren’t you looking at it too?” Yu Xinxin retorted.
“Then why is your face red?” Wei Zhi mercilessly called her out.
When will this girl finally get a clue?!
“…” Yu Xinxin was momentarily speechless. “It’s too hot in the car.” She fanned herself with her hand, trying to cool her flushed cheeks.
“Oh~” Wei Zhi deliberately drew out the syllable, her tone ambiguous. “It does seem quite warm.”
Yu Xinxin cringed inwardly, her toes curling in embarrassment. How could I be so clumsy—getting caught staring like that!
Aaa it’s so cute looking forward to see how it unfolds
