I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 14

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (14)

Bai Xiyue felt that the world was being too cruel to her.

This restaurant was near the hospital. It was neither famous nor exclusive. Yan Yushan has no family nearby. He can't be here without a reason.

Bai Xiyue only had a glance and didn't get a chance to see the person opposite him. Then again, it didn't matter who it was since it had nothing to do with her.

Her current problem was figuring out how to get out of this situation.

She came to the bathroom to clean her outfit, so she didn't bring her phone with her.

It wasn't that she was worried that Shang Junzhuo would pick up her calls. The phone was on mute. Her issue was that without it, she couldn't tell him that she wanted to leave.

Their meal had just started.

Bai Xiyue was getting a headache.

At this time, she spotted the waitress who had yet to leave.

The woman was probably a new hire. She seemed to be very scared and worried.

"Don't worry about it. Can I ask if this place has a back door?"

"Yes, but it's in the kitchen. Is something the matter?"Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Bai Xiyue recalled the layout of the restaurant. If she wanted to reach the kitchen, she needed to go down the hall and make a turn. But she will still end up running into Yan Yushan.

Using the back exit was more difficult than going through the front door. The kitchen was off limits. If Bai Xiyue doesn't find a good reason to go there, she will have a hard time explaining things should a situation arise.

"No, it's fine. Can you go to my seat and help bring my purse here? I'd like to fix my makeup. Thank you."

"No problem, please wait a moment."

The waitress quickly left the bathroom. Meanwhile, Bai Xiyue was banging her head on the wall.

What do I do? What do I do?!

Bai Xiyue stared at the bathroom window. She wanted to jump out, but she wouldn't be able to explain herself to Shang Junzhuo.

The waitress soon brought her bag over. Bai Xiyue thanked her again and pulled out her phone to send Shang Junzhuo a message.

[Bai Xiyue]: Dr. Shang, my Aunt Flo seems to have come. Can we leave?

[Doctor Shang]: Huh? It's here? I don't remember you having it at this time last month. Why did it come a week early?

Bai Xiyue's mouth twitched. One disadvantage of having a caring boyfriend is that he can clearly remember which day your period starts. Lying about it doesn't normally work.

However, women tend to have irregular cycles.

[Bai Xiyue]: I don’t know why either. Anyway, just come. My stomach suddenly feels really uncomfortable. I don't want to eat anything, I wanna go back home.

[Bai Xiyue]: First settle the bill then go to the shop to the store to buy me something qwq

[Bai Xiyue ]: I'm using a tissue to get by.

Shang Junzhuo didn't doubt her and went to pay for their meal.

Bai Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief when the system made a prompt about his departure.

If she doesn't leave right now, she will have to stay!

Bai Xiyue can only hope that Yan Yushan will concentrate on eating or talking to that person without getting distracted and looking at places he shouldn't be looking at.

With this idea in mind, she walked out of the restaurant with her purse.

But it seems that Goddess of Luck has never been on her side. While Yan Yushan was talking with a friend, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

"What is it? What are you looking at?"

Tao Lan turned his head in curiosity, but didn't see anything.

"It's nothing. I thought I saw a familiar person."

Yan Yushan shook his head and pulled back his gaze.

"Do I know them?"Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Tao Lan pointed to himself.

"You will in the future."

The clueless Bai Xiyue walked out of the restaurant with extreme calm.

Maybe it was because so much had happened, she was able to analyze things with a cool head.

There was a supermarket in the vicinity. Bai Xiyue waited for Shang Junzhuo outside by the door.

After a while, he came out carrying a black plastic bag.

"I didn't know which kind you're missing, so I got the daytime and nighttime pads. I have two of each so you can keep the extra one at my place. Next time, if you happen to come over, you won't need to worry about a mishap."

Shang Junzhuo spoke softly and reached out to rub her belly. "I also bought some hot packs and brown sugar. I know you won't make it yourself when you go back, so I'll just keep it on my side. Do you want to come to my office? I can make a cup for you."

Bai Xiyue: ...

So loving. He is so loving.

Where can I find a caring man like this?

Bai Xiyue took the plastic bag and smiled at Shang Junzhuo.

Brother, I am very touched, but we still have to break up.

"I'll definitely get puffy after I go back. It's my fault for this sudden situation. You didn't even get to eat lunch. It won't be good if you have to perform an operation in the afternoon."

Bai Xiyue looked guilty.

"I'll get some porridge. You can have some too."

Shang Junzhuo saw a porridge shop and led her inside.

He ordered a wolfberry and red date porridge for her and a bowl of shredded chicken porridge for himself.

After asking for a basket of shrimp dumplings and steamed dumplings, Dr. Shang drizzled vinegar on top then proceeded to observe his girlfriend's appearance.

When the lunch ends, Shang Junzhuo will almost certainly go back to the hospital.

"You're on your period right now. Do you still want to go out to shoot?"

He hadn't forgotten about this. Back at the western restaurant, Bai Xiyue said that she was going to pursue her dream.

The original owner had dysmenorrhea. A person with regular cramps like that would not be able to fake it, so Bai Xiyue had to temporarily shelve her dream plan and wait until her 'period' passed.

Doctor Shang bid her goodbye, and Bai Xiyue encouraged him to work hard.

After he left, she immediately slipped away.

It was not a good idea to stick around this area.

She returned to the home closest to her vicinity. The place was cleaned regularly, so it was very presentable.

She fell onto the bed in contentment.

As she lay there, she wondered what she would do if she had more than five houses in this kind of city and a bank account with over nine figures.

Suddenly, she could understand the original owner's two-timing loneliness. Strange.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

She didn't do anything good, but she really caught four different ducks, huh.

Peking duck, five-spice duck, white cut duck, braised beer duck...

Bai Xiyue opened WeChat and found that Jian Ning had sent her a lot of messages. He first called her ruthless for her pump and dump behavior, then asked about her health and work situation. He urged her to remember to eat well. As for the last two messages, they were not proper at all.

[Pretty Jane]: Your Majesty, were you satisfied with my performance last night?

[Pretty Jane]: Would it be all right for this subject to wait on you tonight as well?

[Bai Xiyue]: I don’t think it can work.

[Pretty Jane]: I think it can.

[Bai Xiyue]: Jian Ning, what if I don’t have much time left to live and want you to break up with me?

[Pretty Jane]: I will take you out on a romantic trip to Turkey, and then Tokyo and Paris.

[Bai Xiyue]: Are you a moron?

???

Bai Xiyue was shocked. These remarks really suited Jian Ning though.

But if she was honest, she really wanted to do this. Heavy angst was not a problem, the main problem was how to play her cards right.

[Pretty Jane]: If you really don’t have much time left, there's no way in hell we're breaking up. I'll take you wherever you want to go and spend the rest of your life with you.

[Pretty Jane]: Of course, I hope my Little Moon is healthy and lives a long life!

[Pretty Jane]: Are you bringing this up because of a sun¹ deficiency?

[Bai Xiyue]: I'm going back to my manuscript. Ciao.

Jian Ning sat in the studio holding the phone, but he wasn't smiling.

Despite the sun's rays illuminating his body, there was an inexplicable chill.

Bai Xiyue silently logged out of the WeChat account and switched to Little Milk Dog.

After training him that day, he was a lot more behaved.

On occasion he would ask, 'Are you busy?', but didn't urge any further when there was no response.

Bai Xiyue officially replied back. She told him to attend his classes and study diligently, then she moved on to Yan Yushan.

Yan Yushan sent a message a few moments ago.

[Yan Yushan]: I just had a meal by the Diyi Hospital area and I think I saw you walking out in a rush.

Bai Xiyue's heart didn't fluctuate. It was unrealistic of her to think she wouldn't be seen.

1. T/NThis is kind of a double entendre. Jian Ning is referring to himself as Bai Xiyue's 'sun' because she is his 'moon' (a nickname derived from her actual name), but he may also be making a sex joke since the 'yang' character in the word for 'sun' refers to 'man energy'↩︎
