I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 11

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (11)

Jian Ning was joking, but Bai Xiyue felt that could really become a reality.

"Are you a pervert?" Bai Xiyue rolled her eyes at him then changed the topic. "Did you find somewhere to eat?"

"I did. There's a place with good reviews not far from here. Let's go."

Bai Xi Yue nodded but she wondered to herself, 'What reason should I use to get out of this and go back?'

She sat in the car and looked up opera houses.

The nearby ones only had two performances today and none of their times matched up.

There was a gap between the showings and the second one started playing when she called him back.

If she knew this earlier, she wouldn't have mentioned the operas.

Bai Xiyue slid over the keyboard and began to look for locations in other cities.

Fortunately, she was able to find a close one that had the right times for her. She looked through the information about the dramas and searched for comments online.

Jian Ning noticed that Bai Xiyue didn't seem to be very engaged after they came out and just assumed she was tired from the day's activities.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already past seven in the evening.

It was still early. At the very least, it was early for the nightlife.

Bai Xiyue stared at her phone and began to brew her performance.

"Baby, I can't accompany you today."

Bai Xiyue's expression was irritable and apologetic. The irritation was real, but the apology was fake.

Jian Ning braked hard. He looked very discontented.

"Why? Didn't you say you'd hang out with me all day?"

"The editor asked me to go back and modify a previous draft. There was a place that didn't get revised. It's a bit urgent so I'll head back to sort it out then come find you."

Bai Xiyue lied without her face flushing or her heart skipping. Her appearance didn't look happy.

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, it could take the whole night. In short, I'll come to you when I have time."

Bai Xiyue touched Jian Ning's hair in comfort.

His car had suddenly stopped on the side of the road. Parking wasn't allowed there, so he had no choice but to start the car and keep driving forward.

"Can't you delay it for one night?"

Jian Ning was upset. All the joy from the crazy afternoon had disappeared.

"I'm afraid not."

If she delays it for a night, Yan Yushan will give her a kacha. Bai Xiyue was still in the middle of acting apologetic when she heard Jian Ning's grumble.

"I still won't get to use the water bed I ordered."

Her mouthed twitched. She had no regrets.

"Then you have to make it up to me next time."

"No problem."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Bai Xiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled. Her expression made him want to grab her chin and kiss her, but they were currently on the road, which made it inconvenient.

When Jian Ning sent her home, he was still unhappy at heart.

Bai Xiyue was about to leave the car with her purse and paper bag when she felt warm hands grab her waist. She tilted her head questioningly, but Jian Ning just gently held her chin.

"I can't bear to let you go."

He touched her forehead and rubbed their noses affectionately.

That beautiful face made Bai Xiyue a little muddled. Jian Ning, who had been watching her expression, smiled and bit her lip.

He ground on her and used his tongue to brush over the teeth marks on her lips.

Bai Xiyue licked her lips in discomfort, but accidentally touched the tip of his tongue.

Her heart dropped with a thud. She had a premonition.

Sure enough, Jian Ning got excited and pulled her in for a French kiss.

His kiss was as bold as he was. He attacked her city unscrupulously.

Bai Xiyue felt a bit overwhelmed and leaned back. After it was over, she heard Jian Ning's deeply attractive voice right next to her ear.

"Why are you so complacent today?"

He was a bit surprised and watched her with a thoughtful expression on his face.

They have always clicked. When he got enthusiastic, she responded with the same level of enthusiasm, after which sparks would fly and things end up spinning out of control. But she was very passive today. She didn't even compete with him.

Bai Xiyue had actually thought of her personal design. The reason she didn't follow suit was because she felt it unnecessary to do so.

She didn't come to maintain the status quo. Although she had lingering fears about dying, she wasn't nearly as scared after reloading.

She was even a bit emboldened.

If she dies, then she dies. In any case, she can start over.

"You're the only one who can still act up after all those roller coaster rides."

Bai Xiyue wiped the saliva from her lips and said goodbye.

Jian Ning could only bid her a reluctant farewell. He was really regretting not being able to use the water bed.

After Bai Xiyue left him, she immediately got a ride to her dressing room house.

She wasn't in a rush this time around, so she took a shower.

As she undressed, she caught a glimpse of the bite marks on her neck in the mirror.

The mark aggressively declared sovereignty. Bai Xiyue touched the traces indifferently and allowed the system to clear them.

She raised her messy hair to see that her skin had quickly recovered its former white and smooth appearance. The foggy mirror from the steam blurred her figure.

By the time Bai Xiyue arrived at Yan Yushan's house, it was already eight o'clock.

She punched in the code and opened the front door.

The living room was illuminated by a single lamp and a brightness was visible from under the closed study.

For some reason, Bai Xiyue's heart was apprehensive. Nevertheless, she acted naturally and knocked on the door.

"Yushan, I'm here."

The door of the study was promptly opened. Yan Yushan must have taken a shower. He had changed out of his usual suit and was now dressed in black pin-striped pajamas. The rustled bangs on his forehead made him seem more gentle, but the look in his eyes showed it was a mere illusion.

"Did you just come back?"

"Mhm. I came back after the gathering."

"Did you wash?"

Yan Yushan's warm fingers pressed against Bai Xiyue's somewhat cool neck and moved up along her chin.

The slight itchiness made her shiver a bit.

"Yeah, I rushed over in a sweat, but I don't normally meet you like that, so I took a shower and washed my hair before coming over."

Bai Xiyue placed her handbag on the sofa and smiled at him.

"Did you have fun today?"

Yan Yushan walked to the bar counter. The shadows cast by the lighting covered half of his handsome face.

"I had a lot of fun."

Bai Xiyue kept having a bad feeling. Her spine felt slightly cool, but she feigned calmness and only frowned in her heart.

"What did you watch?"

"'Miss Saigon'. The actors' rendition was very good. The script was also moving. After that, we watched a few interesting shows."

"Hm? Was the opera house showing 'Miss Saigon' today?"

Yan Yushan looked up, but there was no emotion to be seen.

"I watched it in Quxi."

"Why did you go there?"

"My college roommate went there to collect folk material for inspiration. We hadn't seen each other in a few years and Quxi wasn't far from here so I met up with her. We went to the opera house together, then had something to eat afterward."

Bai Xiyue subconsciously pinched the hem of her clothes, but she was still smiling at him.

"In that case, you should have stayed overnight."

Yan Yushan walked away from the bar counter with a mug in hand. His words were very understanding.

"You called me, so of course I'd come back."

Bai Xiyue raised her eyebrows. The sound of her heartbeat amplified in tandem with his approaching steps.

"I brewed the milk tea with black tea; fresh milk with a bit of sugar. It's been chilling in the fridge so the taste should be good. Try it."

Bai Xiyue received it with a smile and took a sip. Her eyes brightened.

"It's delicious."

Yan Yushan quietly watched her. His expression did not change after hearing her evaluation.

She took another sip as a form of praise then placed the mug on the table.

Yan Yushan walked up and touched her face.

"Do you know? I hate being lied to the most, and I especially hate being betrayed."

Bai Xiyue's eyes widened. She was going to deny it when she felt a burst of dizziness.

Then, everything went dark.
