The Cold White Moonlight Desires Me Every Day - Chapter 33

How did she even come up with such a self-destructive plan—harming herself ten times over to hurt the enemy once?

Ruan Tang couldn’t help but chuckle. She tore off a piece of the flatbread she held and offered it to Ni Yunshi’s lips.

Ni Yunshi glanced sideways, secretly pouting.

Laugh, laugh, laugh! She’s laughing while I starve!

If I starved to death, would she laugh even harder?

Damn it! I’d rather stuff myself to death than let her enjoy this!

Muttering inwardly, Ni Yunshi opened her mouth and bit into the soft flatbread. Anger surged through her, and she nipped Ruan Tang’s fingertip in her fury.

The bite was so light that Ruan Tang didn’t even realize it was Ni Yunshi’s retaliation.

When starving, it’s easy to resist eating or even smelling food. But once the fast is broken, it’s impossible to stop.

Ni Yunshi devoured the flatbread ravenously. Ruan Tang didn’t interrupt, merely nudging the water glass occasionally to remind her to drink and prevent choking.

Watching Ni Yunshi finish eating, Ruan Tang teased, “So you’re not a picky eater after all. Why didn’t you eat downstairs?”

“I couldn’t stomach it,” Ni Yunshi replied, wiping her mouth with satisfaction.

Who in their right mind would eat with their rival in love?

Besides, Gu Hewan is like a gossip vortex, always acting so strangely!

If I sat at the same table with her, I’d be more afraid of ending up in her cooking pot than finishing my meal!

Ruan Tang frowned, unable to resist probing further. “What exactly did Hewan say to you earlier?”

The moment the question left Ruan Tang’s lips, Ni Yunshi visibly stiffened again, her inner monologue abruptly ceasing.

It was as if the question had been some terrifying, piercing scream, causing her to momentarily blank out.

Ruan Tang waved a hand in front of her face, finally bringing her slowly back to her senses.

“What’s wrong?” Ruan Tang asked, even more puzzled.

“Nothing,” Ni Yunshi shook her head, her gaze drifting evasively. “She just thinks I don’t seem like myself anymore.”

What kind of logic dictates that people’s preferences can’t change?!

Even tofu has more brains than Gu Hewan.

After explaining myself for ages, my IQ has dropped significantly…

“Actually, I also feel like you’re not quite yourself,” Ruan Tang said, unusually resisting her inner monologue.

But the moment the words left her lips, Ni Yunshi’s inner monologue erupted again.

It’s me! I’m Ni Yunshi!

My aloofness is my shield, and my madness is my ultimate weapon!

Loving Tangtang, loving money, loving all things spicy—the one and only Ni Yunshi!

Though inwardly panicking, Ni Yunshi outwardly pouted and shifted the blame: “You really believe outsiders’ lies and distrust me.”

“What I mean is…” Ruan Tang bit her lower lip, “maybe we never truly understood each other before.”

The warm glow of the bedside lamp accentuated the blush on Ruan Tang’s cheeks, making them appear particularly alluring, and highlighted the shimmering emotion in her eyes.

“If possible, I’d like us to rebuild our relationship,” Ruan Tang said, each word carefully enunciated.

As the words reached Ni Yunshi’s ears, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Tangtang is confiding in me?

She-she’s… is she actually confessing to me normally?! Can I…?

No, I have to maintain the image she likes!

Ni Yunshi’s hand, which had just reached out to Ruan Tang, was about to retract when Ruan Tang gently clasped it.

Palm met back of hand, both burning hot…

Ruan Tang buried half her face in the blankets, the exposed cheek still flushed.

Ni Yunshi lay beside her, twirling strands of Ruan Tang’s disheveled hair around her fingertips.

The night was cold, and fearing Ruan Tang might catch a chill, Ni Yunshi pulled the blanket over them.

But Ruan Tang had barely caught her breath under the covers before pushing herself up again.

Hmm?

Damn it! We’ve come this far—is she really going to make me sleep in a separate room?

No way! I’ll kick all her clothes under the bed!

Ni Yunshi’s brow was about to furrow when a sudden weight pressed down on her.

Ruan Tang hadn’t gotten out of bed; instead, she had leaned back down, pressing herself against Ni Yunshi.

“Want to go again?” Ni Yunshi raised an eyebrow, her fingers already twitching with anticipation.

“N-no, that’s not it…” Ruan Tang quickly denied, but her eyes flickered nervously. “I… I want you to…”

Her voice trailed off at the crucial moment.

Before, Ni Yunshi had always done all the work. Since their love was mutual, they should both enjoy this.

But the moment Ruan Tang tried to voice it, the words caught in her throat.

Seeing Ruan Tang’s face growing redder and redder, Ni Yunshi immediately guessed what she wanted. She leaned back against the headboard, relaxing.

“Alright.”

The moment she spoke, the blankets shifted.

Underneath the covers, Ni Yunshi slowly spread her long, slender legs.
