The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Perverted Plot

She’s lived this long, when hass he ever licked someone?! She hasn’t even kissed anyone!

“You idiotic system, are you crazy?! You want me to hit this mentally twisted villain?! Are you here to save the world, or to accelerate the villain’s destruction of it?!”

One slap, and whether the villain destroys the world is one thing, but she’ll definitely be destroyed!

The system didn’t respond, but the big villain on the bed moved first!

In the quiet hospital room, a series of ‘clang clang clang’ metallic sounds rang out.

Cen Qianyi seemed to want to sit up, and the handcuffs pulling on her wrists clanked against the bed frame. She turned her head towards the source of the sound.

He Shu couldn’t see her expression, didn’t know what her face looked like when she saw the handcuffs. She only saw her curl her fingers, and her smooth, white fingernails scratched against the metal handcuffs – another unnerving sound.

As He Shu’s scalp tingled, she rolled over and fell out of bed.

Perhaps her movement was too big, the person on the bed turned their head towards her.

Eyes met, and He Shu directly met those light purple eyes. The tragic way she died in the original novel involuntarily jumped into her mind.

Before that passage, there was another sentence.

He Shu’s left eye had already been gouged out by Cen Qianyi with her bare hands, leaving only her unclosing right eye to watch everything that followed.

Left eye… gouged out with bare hands…

Listening to the sound of those fingers scraping against metal, He Shu suddenly shivered, and a tear fell from her aching left eye.

Too, too scary!

“System! System! Come out, I can’t do this! Send me back!”

Her shouts were unheard by Cen Qianyi. She looked at the person silently shedding tears in front of her, and there was a slight ripple in her light purple eyes.

She hadn’t expected that one day she would lie in someone else’s bed in such a state.

If the Bounty Alliance knew that the number one bounty hunter also had a day of being ‘captured,’ they would probably die laughing.

It was her carelessness.

Cen Qianyi glanced at the handcuffs on her wrist, playfully scratched with her curled fingers, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. Did this thing really think it could trap her…?

She looked back at the person in front of her. Clearly, this person didn’t know, thinking this could trap her.

What did she just say? Willing to be her plaything?

Cen Qianyi’s tongue pressed against the thing in her mouth. Want to play with her? Better think about how to die.

“System, system! Come out quickly, is she going to kill me immediately?! Why do I feel a killing intent?!”

He Shu looked at the brightening gleam in those light purple eyes, her legs turned to jelly. If she weren’t leaning against the bed, she’d probably collapse onto the floor instantly.

Don’t worry, Host. Cen Qianyi has been given a muscle relaxant; it will take three days for her to recover.

He Shu found it hard to be reassured. A top assassin who could destroy the world, would this muscle relaxant really work?

Also, how was such a powerful assassin successfully restrained by a useless person like her?

Just as she was about to ask, the electronic voice in her mind sounded again.

System reminder: [Plot action countdown is about to begin. Please prepare, Host!]

He Shu snapped back to reality, almost forgetting she had a hitting task!

“I really can’t do this, send me back quickly!”

She’d rather lie peacefully in an urn!

Refusing to follow the plot is a serious violation. The character will be erased and returned to the starting point to begin again!

As if worried He Shu wouldn’t understand, the system added an explanation: [Host, returning to the starting point means you’ll have to go through the plot you just experienced again~]

As the electronic voice faded, the alarm before the countdown sounded again in He Shu’s mind!

The red exclamation mark in her mind also thickened and brightened, flashing so much that He Shu’s heart trembled as if electrocuted!

He Shu didn’t even care about crying anymore: “I can’t do it, I really can’t! Can I hit myself instead?”

System warning: Host does not have permission to alter any existing descriptions. Please complete the designated action before the countdown ends. Failure to complete on time is equivalent to refusing the task, and the character will be erased and start over!

Help! He Shu just realized there was something even scarier than death in this world: repeatedly seeking death!

In her mind, the sharp alarm sound was joined by the life-draining countdown.

[3]

What to do? What to do? He Shu really couldn’t bring herself to do it!

[2]

No, no! Should she just close her eyes and bravely give it a go?

[1]

Ah—At the instant the countdown ended, He Shu suddenly lunged forward, pouncing onto the hospital bed, one hand pinching Cen Qianyi’s slender jaw, the other swinging down quickly!

‘Slap!’

Cen Qianyi turned her face, her long lashes fluttering slightly from the wind stirred by the hand.

[0]

The brain-rattling alarm suddenly stopped.

Silence.

He Shu’s heart seemed to stop beating with it.

Looking at Cen Qianyi, who had turned her face on the bed, she was biting a ball, her cheeks puffed out, and the redness on them was very obvious.

But that wasn’t from her hit. He Shu looked at her hand, which was gripping the other person’s face. The red on the back of her own hand was from her hitting herself.

He Shu held her breath, waiting for the result!

Action completed. Please continue with the dialogue.

Hearing the prompt, He Shu’s body went limp, unable to support herself, and she fell onto Cen Qianyi.

After escaping death, tears she couldn’t stop flowed out like a broken water pipe, all pouring onto Cen Qianyi’s neck.

Feeling the wetness on her neck, Cen Qianyi’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, and a rare hint of confusion appeared in her light purple eyes.

What was she doing?

Thinking of the hand she saw raised just now, she thought the other person was going to hit her, but in the end, she hit herself, and now she was crying on her…

What was she crying about?

This time, He Shu was crying tears of joy. The plot had passed, she had gambled correctly, it was so close!

In the last second of the countdown, at the brink of life and death, she had a burst of intelligence and thought of the special nature of ‘words.’

‘Words’ are very difficult to accurately reflect in actions.

For example, a slap. Even if it’s written as a heavy slap, how is ‘heavy’ defined?

There’s no standard for this at all!

She just needed to achieve the result!

Just now, when she slapped down, she hit her own hand which was pressed against the other person’s face, and then used the force of her hand to turn the person’s head.

The final result was ‘a slap, face turned away.’

He Shu cried as she continued the dialogue.

“Does it hurt? Be obedient, and it’ll hurt less.”

Her tearful voice made this phrase, which should have been a threat, sound soft and gentle.

Cen Qianyi’s earlobe twitched slightly. Was that said to her?

Why would she hurt?

Perhaps because she had just completed the tense and thrilling ‘hitting’ requirement, now just saying a line felt much easier to He Shu.

He Shu pulled back her hand and propped herself up.

The restraint on Cen Qianyi’s face disappeared, and she turned to look at the person who was getting up from her.

This distance…

Cen Qianyi’s curled fingers flexed, the razor blade disguised as a fingernail tracing a hesitant arc in the air.

Her muscle strength hadn’t fully recovered, but at this distance between them, eliminating the person wouldn’t be difficult.

Just as she was about to act, she unexpectedly met a face full of tear streaks, crying extremely aggrievedly.

Cen Qianyi’s eyelashes fluttered, and a hint of confusion resurfaced in her eyes.

Why was she crying like this…?

In her hesitation, the person had already moved away, to a distance unsuitable for action.

He Shu didn’t know she had just narrowly escaped death. After seeing the ball in Cen Qianyi’s mouth, all she wanted to do was curse.

“System, come out! Look what’s in this villain’s mouth! How can she respond with that thing in her mouth?! Is this CEO brain-damaged or blind?!”

“Also, if she doesn’t respond, you hit her? Does this person have mania?”

System: That’s the character setting.

He Shu: …

She wanted to curse a few more times, but a new dialogue reminder appeared in her mind.

This dialogue also came with actions.

Looking at the red exclamation mark, He Shu’s slightly relaxed heart was fiercely gripped again.

Looking at those light purple pupils filled with panic, He Shu became even more excited. She lowered her head, her tongue swirling over the reddened cheek, feeling the person beneath her tremble, and in great spirits, she slowly licked the equally warm earlobe…

He Shu’s face darkened.

“System, call the author! Look what kind of nonsense is written here? What kind of wording is this? Is she a dog, licking people?! Hitting someone then licking them, what kind of pervert is this?!”

System: That’s the character setting.

“What’s the point of this kind of character?! This is forcing the villain to go dark! They’re all so perverted, and then they blame the villain for destroying the world! Just let it all be destroyed! You let the author come, she created this terrible novel, let her fill the plot holes!”

System: She just left the novel unfinished. In your world’s terms, it’s not a capital offense.

“I didn’t say I want her dead, I want her to finish the novel!”

Author’s vital signs detected as stable.

He Shu remembered, she died before transmigrating into the book.

“You say she’s perfectly fine, why isn’t she finishing the novel?! She just left a novel unfinished, but it’s taking my life!”

System: A little lick won’t kill you.

“It will! As a person, I’ll die! I’ll be a pervert from now on!”

System reminder: Countdown commencing soon. If you don’t lick now, you’ll have to start over and still lick.

The alarm in her mind blared again, and this time, He Shu’s tears were from anger.

“Why do I have to transmigrate as a pervert?! What is this based on?! Do I look like a pervert?!”

Transmigration law: same name, same surname. Your name only appears as this character in the original novel!

“What kind of crappy law is this? Who set it? You bring her here, I need to ask, is this old-fashioned transmigration method reasonable?!”

Before the system could respond, the countdown in her mind began again.

He Shu quickly racked her brain. What to do??

Hitting someone could be done lightly, but licking? Licking lightly? It’s still licking!

The tears she had just stopped began to fall again, splash, splash.

This time, besides fear, there was also shame and indignation.

She’s lived this long, when has she ever licked someone?! She hasn’t even kissed anyone!

Cen Qianyi looked at the person who had suddenly started crying again, her eye corners slightly raised.

What was she crying about now?

She carefully observed the person. The person in front of her had a mature appearance, but when she cried, she looked like a child with an unutterable grievance.

There was also a kind of fear in her dark eyes that made one want to discover the truth.

Was she scared?

Of what?

Wasn’t it she who tied her up?

In her daze, the other party untied the restraint on her mouth and took out the thing that was stuffed inside.

Cen Qianyi’s tongue pressed against her stiff facial muscles. Before she could speak, the other party lunged onto her again, and her face was once again pinched and turned to the side.

Suddenly, an unusual sensation came over her face. Cen Qianyi’s shoulders hunched, surprise flickering in her eyes. Before she could react, that unusual sensation moved straight upwards.

Her earlobe was gently bitten, and her muscles, affected by the relaxant, tensed up remarkably.

He Shu pushed away the milky white strands of Cen Qianyi’s hair scattered by her ear, nervously clutching them in her hand. She carefully licked the reddened outer ear.

“Cen Qianyi…”

He Shu’s soft, tearful voice paused slightly, and warm breath drilled into Cen Qianyi’s ear. Cen Qianyi’s heart stopped for a moment.

He Shu took a breath and continued.

“Orphan…”

When she said this word, He Shu choked.

“Someone like you… even if you die and rot, no one will care.”

“Be obedient, be a plaything, otherwise—”

Following the action prompt, she gently stroked Cen Qianyi’s eyes.

“Such beautiful eyes… you wouldn’t want to be blind later… Don’t worry, I’ll take you to a fun place… I guarantee you’ll like it.”

He Shu didn’t dare to look into Cen Qianyi’s eyes. She turned her head, following the action prompt, and licked Cen Qianyi’s earlobe, which she had just bitten.

Her husky voice, tinged with tears, went straight into Cen Qianyi’s ear.

“You can only be my… plaything…”
