I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 10

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (10)

Bai Xiyue was really angry. Who wouldn't be after getting stabbed?

Chen Qingzhu was confused, but he was still brooding.

No matter how he looked at it, Bai Xiyue was the one at fault here. She's the one who didn't answer her phone and stayed out, yet she's actually angry.

Still, when Bai Xiyue did get angry, he felt bad.

Bai Xiyue kept looking at Chen Qingzhu with condemning eyes until the aggrieved little milk dog was almost shutting down. Only then did the fire in her heart dissipate.

"I'll tell you why. Have you eaten this morning?"

"No. I didn't eat anything last night either."

Chen Qingzhu said pitifully. Since he couldn't get through to her phone, he's been waiting here the entire time.

The stone steps were cold and hard at night, so he huddled himself but didn't dare to sleep soundly for fear of missing the moment she came back.

"Go get washed. Come back when you're done."

Bai Xiyue stared daggers at him until he realized how sloppy he must look and dashed to the bathroom.

The original owner was a wealthy woman. Since she could give her boyfriends different addresses, she naturally followed through. Toiletries and the like were indispensable.

Condoms were also available.

Chen Qingzhu came out after washing. His wet bangs covered his smooth and white forehead, making him look sweet and harmless.

However, Bai Xiyue no longer believed that he was a little angel. Appearances were unreliable things.

If the little milk dog could suddenly stab her, she also felt that Doctor Shang, who was like a spring breeze, could dissect her at any time.

"Let's go have breakfast to pad your stomach. Do you have classes this morning?"

"Yes."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Chen Qingzhu answered honestly.

"Okay, Chen Qingzhu. You even have the gall to skip classes."

Bai Xiyue smiled angrily. What a juvenile thing to do! Studying is what you should be doing, but you rather go after love!

"You wouldn't answer the phone..."

Chen Qingzhu had already wilted into becoming the unreasonable party. His words were spoken very feebly.

"I get annoyed whenever you bring that up. Eat something then go back to school."

"I want to know why." Chen Qingzhu said sternly, "You don't know how scared I was when I couldn't reach you. Only then did I realize how far apart our circles are. Other than texting or calling or waiting for you at home, I have no other way of getting your news.

"Xiyue, I'm really scared."

Bai Xiyue was silent for a while as she rubbed her eyebrows in fatigue.

She was getting ready to start her performance.

"You saw me in the restaurant yesterday. Did I look different from usual?"

Chen Qingzhu nodded.

"Actually, I always dress that way when I'm with my brother. He doesn't like it when I wear mature clothes. To him, I will always be his little sister and to my parents, I will always be a little girl," Bai Xiyue said. He pulled the corners of his mouth and looked rather sad. "They hope I can find someone older than me who will take care of me. I went back home yesterday and told them I had a student boyfriend who was younger than me. Dad got so mad that he took my phone away."

Yesterday's crisis is today's foreshadowing!

Bai Xiyue didn't lie carelessly. The original owner did not disclose much to Cheng Qingzhu. He only knew that she came from a good family and that she used her family's money to open up a shop.

And while the original owner portrayed the character of an alluring older woman, she was only 25-years-old.

Although it wasn't good to lie about her deceased parents, there was no better lie than this.

The problem she posed was a realistic one.

Chen Qingzhu was most powerless about the social difference between himself and Bai Xiyue. The gap was too large.

"I finally managed to get my phone and come back only to see you turned yourself into this. Fortunately, it wasn't that cold last night. If it had been wintertime, would you have waited outside for me until you got sick for me to see?"

Chen Qingzhu was still young. It was easy for him to panic and handle things improperly.

This kind of family situation can only be said in front of Chen Qingzhu and Jian Ning, but that lunatic would definitely not fall for it.

"Xiyue..."

Chen Qingzhu subconsciously grabbed Bai Xiyue's hand. That description made him feel apprehensive.

He also hated how weak he was that he couldn't provide her a better environment. He couldn't give her anything, so what guarantees could he give her parents?

"I don't want to talk about this right now. Let's go get something to eat."

Bai Xiyue picked up the bag and opened the door.

Rather than risking death and breaking up by herself, it was better to let him take the initiative.

This trick had a miraculous effect on the little milk dog.

Chen Qingzhu had a backbone, so he wasn't willing to be covered by his girlfriend.

In ancient times, he would have been a poor and hard-working scholar who would endure for as long as he could before returning to his hometown to marry a loved one.

Bai Xiyue hooked her lips where he couldn't see.

Chen Qingzhu silently followed her to the porridge shop. She ordered porridge and dumplings then watched him eat.

"Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I just ate. I'm not hungry."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

"Have one bite."

Chen Qingzhu picked up a steamed dumpling and sent it to Bai Xiyue's lips.

Bai Xiyue took a bite, and Chen Qingzhu naturally retracted the chopsticks and ate the rest.

The phone in her bag vibrated. She pulled it out to see it was Jian Ning calling.

"Don't rush me. I'm on the road right now. Be there soon.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."

Chen Qingzhu couldn't hear what the caller was saying, but they seemed to have an appointment with Bai Xiyue.

"You can leave first if you're busy."

The little milk dog had a virtuous expression and was completely unaware of the implications of his words.

"Then I'm going. Did you bring money with you?"

"It's on my phone."

Chen Qingzhu didn't want his girlfriend to pay for his breakfast so he answered quickly.

"Okay, call me later. Be sure to attend your afternoon classes."

"Okay."

After Bai Xiyue left, the smile on Chen Qingzhu's face disappeared.

He was still too weak to do anything.

You must become stronger. Chen Qingzhu made a silent resolution in his heart and finished the bowl of porridge.

Fortunately, the clothes of 'irresistible older woman' and the 'queen of clubbing' were not very different.

Some of the clothes in the clubber's wardrobe were more suitable for going out at night. They were revealing and flashy. No one would wear them during the day.

Bai Xiyue saved time from not needing to change clothes. After grabbing a taxi and reporting the address, she began to change the contact names on her phone.

Jian Ning's studio was a certain distance away from Bai Xiyue's home. It took ten minutes to get there by road.

When she got out of the car, Jian Ning was already waiting at the entrance.

Today he wore men's clothing. His shirt and trousers paired with a beautiful face could make people's head turn.

Although Jian Ning was a crossdresser, he rarely wore skirts and dresses. His daily outfits consisted of neutral styles.

Since he was tall and slender, he was a fair kind of handsome in men's wear and a striking kind of handsome in women's wear.

"Baby, you're here."

Jian Ning waved at Bai Xiyue then walked inside with his arm around her shoulders.

"What surprise do you have for me?"

Bai Xiyue raised her eyebrows as she thought back to his message.

"Come with me."

Jian Ning took Bai Xiyue's hand and led her to his studio.

There were other staff members there who smiled and greeted Bai Xiyue one after the other.

Bai Xiyue entered Jian Ning's workshop and saw a dummy model wearing a dress.

This was probably the new piece Jian Ning designed. It was a cool and sexy style from top to bottom, and the revealing black fabric had a fashionista quality that made one's eyes light up.

Jian Ning took the piece down. There was a visible sparkle in his eyes.

"Looks nice."

Bai Xiyue nodded. It really did.

"Go and change into it."

Bai Xiyue placed her bag down and was about to go into the fitting room with the outfit when Jian Ning held her hand.

"Still afraid of me watching?"

Jian Ning raised an eyebrow. His eyes lingered on Bai Xiyue's body.

Bai Xiyue flipped him off, but after thinking about the phone in her bag, she didn't refuse.

She was afraid that some boyfriend would call while she was changing. Jian Ning would definitely answer it once he heard it ringing. She doesn't want to reload.

Jian Ning closed the curtain to seal the space.

Bai Xiyue mentally denounced this dog situation while she changed out of her clothes.

"Are they already gone?"

Jian Ning murmured as he stared at Bai Xiyue's smooth and unmarked skin.

"What did you say?"

Bai Xiyue vaguely heard Jian Ning say something, but his voice was too low to hear clearly.

Jian Ning shook his head. When he saw that she had changed, he opened the curtains.

Seeing his girl wearing the clothes he personally designed for her brought him untold joy.

The delight he felt in his heart was almost overflowing.

"I just knew you'd look good in those clothes."

Jian Ning's fingers stroked the hem of her clothes and lingered on her waistline.

This navel-revealing summer dress had certain requirements for the figure.

He was smiling as his fingers drew a circle on her belly button then pressed them flush against her skin.

Jian Ning's body had a nice fragrance. Bai Xiyue couldn't tell which cologne it was, but there was no time to discern.

He was very close to her, close enough to breathe on her.

His handsome face could make people suffocate.

The tips of his fingers touched her trembling eyelashes, and the smiling expression on his face brightened even more.

As he stared at her, a hint of obsession surfaced in his eyes.

His muse was so beautiful.

He wants to leave his brand on her body, swear sovereignty and let everyone know she was his, and that no one else can have any part of her.

He bit down on Bai Xiyue's neck until she let out a hiss.

"Jian Ning, were you born in the year of the dog?"

Jian Ning licked his masterpiece and dyed it a deeper red.

He leaned over her ear and released a steamy voice.

"Woof."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Ahhhhhhh! You bastard, that's illegal!

Bai Xiyue almost gave in.

Jian Ning chuckled when he caught sight of her ears reddening.

"Baby, I'll only be a dog for you."

Who can handle this!

Bai Xiyue had to admit that even if Jian Ning wasn't her type, her legs had gone soft.

"A licking dog is as low as it gets."

Bai Xiyue pushed him away and let the ambiguous atmosphere dissipate.

"Says who? A licking dog is as good as it gets!"

Jian Ning cupped her face and lapped her lips as he spoke righteously.

"Don't you dare eat this old lady's lipstick!"

After enjoying a round of laughs, Jian Ning folded the clothes she came with and kept them in a paper bag.

"Go out like this today. It was washed."

The thought of her wearing the clothes he designed as she's next to him made him feel bubbly inside.

Bai Xiyue had no objections. She took out the sunscreen from her bag and applied it to the one place she never had to worry about before.

Jian Ning took Bai Xiyue to lunch and happily planned their itinerary.

Doctor Shang's idea of a date was to watch a movie. Jian Ning's idea of a date was to go to 'Happy Valley'.

The name sounded childish, but the famous place's target audience was not young children.

'Happy Valley' had all kinds of roller coasters. Just looking at the place from the outside, one could see various track shapes, not to mention drop towers and the like.

Jian Ning liked stimulating activities. His pretty eyes were full of smiles as he talked about the rides.

Bai Xiyue wasn't afraid of heights. She often had to perform wire-flying while filming stunts so she was fully trained.

The original owner wasn't afraid of heights either. She also liked to pursue thrills whenever she was with Jian Ning.

But when Bai Xiyue thought about this point, she felt that the original owner must be some kind of schizo.

She acted so delicately and fragile in front of Doctor Shang that her heart couldn't even stand looking down from the fourth floor when she was with him.

[Bai Xiyue]: Tongtong, do you think I can tell these boyfriends I'm a schizophrenic? And that I wasn't aware of what I was doing when I approached them using different personalities?

[System]: They will still fight over you. Regardless of which version is the real you, in order to snatch your person... I will not delve any further. You may experience it for yourself. This system sincerely urges Host not to explore the razor's edge. Of course, if Host is brave enough to try it, I will support your decision and load the savadata for you to enjoy right away.

Like hell I will.

Bai Xiyue raised her middle finger in her heart. She clutched her purse and followed Jian Ning.

Since it wasn't time for summer vacation, the foot traffic wasn't high in Happy Valley. There was no need to queue up.

Cell phones weren't allowed on the rides, so Bai Xiyue kept hers in her bag and spent the day in Happy Valley with Jian Ning.

It was a really happy day. Bai Xiyue hadn't gone all out like this in a very long time.

However, extreme joy turns to sorrow. When she finally took out her cell phone after leaving 'Happy Valley', her smile immediately stiffened on her face. She cried bitterly in her heart.

There were dozens of missed calls on the phone. All from Yan Yushan.

Ahhhhh I'm so dead!

Yan Yushan wasn't as foolish as the little milk dog.

These missed calls were timed apart. Other than the first two back-to-back calls, he had called every half an hour.

"What's wrong?"

Jian Ning walked over with an ice cream cone and saw Bai Xiyue staring at the phone in a daze.

"It's nothing. I have a lot of missed calls from my editor. I'm definitely going to be given a talk later." Bai Xiyue took the cone from him and answered apathetically.

"Is the manuscript crunched for time?"

"It's alright."

Bai Xiyue said it was okay, so Jian Ning didn't ask any further.

"I'll call the editor first. You can look up where you want to eat tonight."

"Okay."

Jian Ning took out his phone and started to check the surrounding restaurants.

Bai Xiyue moved to a quiet place and called.

He didn't pick up right away. The call only connected after half a minute passed.

"Yu Shan, I was watching an opera with my friend this afternoon, so I never checked my phone. Why are there so many calls? Is there something wrong?"

Bai Xiyue calmed herself down and asked softly.

Jian Ning was tapping away on his phone not far from her. His profile looked so beautiful and harmless.

"It's nothing urgent. We made an appointment last night to meet tonight. I'll get off work soon and buy some ingredients. We'll have dinner at home."

Although the original owner cosplayed as a gentle and virtuous wife in front of Yan Yushan, she had lived a pampered life and Doctor Shang really spoiled her. She once tried to cook for Yan Yushan, but the finished product was so moving that every time they ate at home, he was the one to do it.

Bai Xiyue glanced at Jian Ning, but she didn't answer immediately.

"What's wrong? Did you make plans with a friend?"

Yan Yushan immediately realized what her hesitation meant and asked faintly.

"I did."

Bai Xiyue replied bitterly.

Yan Yushan's voice was indiscernible, but if she ditches Jian Ning, the guy will get upset.

After weighing her options, Bai Xiyue chose to ditch Yan Yushan.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back. There shouldn't be a midnight show tonight, right?"

Yan Yushan continued to ask patiently. The expression in his eyes was cold as he tapped a finger on the edge of the desk.

What kind of opera is it for it to take an entire afternoon to watch? Was there no intermission to respond to his messages?

How important is this friend for her to stay out instead of coming home for dinner?

"Of course not. I'll go back when it is over, but tomorrow is still a workday. Will I be bothering you?"

Bai Xiyue immediately denied her arrangements and asked empathetically.

It wasn't clear whether that little demon called Jian Ning would let her go tonight. She can only escape if she has a very good reason.

"No, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, see you tonight."

Bai Xiyue hung up the phone. She nearly went bald.

"What's wrong? Were you scolded? Unhappy?"

Jian Ning squeezed Bai Xiyue's cheeks. She let out a sad sigh.

"I wasn't scolded, but I was worried about something."

"What is it?"

"It's what I've been writing recently. The heroine wanted to break up with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend refused, so she decided to change her character to make him hate her. I'm currently stuck on her boyfriend’s emotional shift." Bai Xiyue looked at Jian Ning, "If I want to break up with you and you refuse, then I change my appearance to make you hate me, will you do it?"

"How can I? My baby's so cute!"

"What if I become the type you hate the most? The dumb and boring variety."

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Jian Ning was a little bit dumbfounded.

"How can a person's personality change so easily? It can't be that different. It might be okay if they lost their memory from say, a car crash."

"I'll think about it."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Bai Xiyue muttered to herself. She was considering the feasibility.

"But if you lose your memory and dare to forget me, I'll push you onto the bed and hold you down until you remember."

Jian Ning was still smiling beautifully, but his manner of speaking was somewhat dangerous.
