I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 17

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (17)

Bai Xiyue was about to suffocate, but she still pretended to be innocent and tied her belt as she walked.

"Your phone's ringing."

Yan Yushan handed it over as he held onto the charger.

When he finished working in the study, he noticed her phone charging there. He was planning on moving it to the bedroom when he saw the call come in.

The caller ID said 'Chen Tingting'. Bai Xiyue took the phone and tapped to answer.

While she was changing her contact names, she got inspired by Jian Ning's pseudonym and ended up giving everyone a fake name. Anyone who saw such a caller ID should think it was a female. They wouldn't imagine it was a secret boyfriend.

"Xiyue, are you busy?"

Chen Qingzhu looked at the gift he had just bought with a smile on his face.

"I'm not busy. What's the matter?"

"I have a gift for you. Where are you?"

"Hm? A group dinner? When?"

Bai Xiyue replied with a question. She sat on the sofa and fluffed her hair.

"What group dinner?"

Chen Qingzhu was somewhat confused. He wondered if Bai Xiyue had misheard him.

"Tomorrow at noon. Okay, I'll see you then. Bye."

"Hello—Xiyue? Xiyue?" Chen Qingzhu started at the number that just hung up on him. He couldn't help but drop his smile. All the joy from before had disappeared.

He suddenly thought of a possibility. Maybe Xiyue was at home and said those things because there was a family member nearby.

Chen Qingzhu felt disheartened. Lowering his head, he looked at the gift in his hand and felt more uncomfortable.

After Bai Xiyue calmly resolved the crisis, she locked the phone screen.

"Just charge it here. Saves the trouble of bringing it inside."

Bai Xiyue took the power cord from Yan Yushan, then proceeded to plug it back where it originally was.

Her head was lowered at the time, and so she didn't catch sight of the turbulent color in his eyes.

From his point of view, he could see her scenery very clearly.

Her pajamas were made of lace, which didn't fare well in concealing most of her.

The beautiful contours of her collarbones were pleasing to the eye, not to mention the softness highlighted by the lighting in the room.

"Are you all done? If you are, go take a shower." Bai Xiyue set up her phone and smiled at Yan Yushan once she raised her head.

Her face still had traces of water, which gave off a fresh and clean feeling.

It made one have the desire to linger on her face and savor her carefully.

Yan Yushan's throat felt a bit dry. Nodding, he went to the bathroom after grabbing a pair of pajamas from the bedroom.

The moment he walked inside, Bai Xiyue let out a long breath.

That damn near scared this old lady to death.

It was like she was dancing on the tip of a blade. She may have seemed steady, but she was freaking out inside.

Bai Xiyue turned her the phone on and crafted a message to Chen Qingzhu to say that she was home and would meet him at noon tomorrow.

After sending the message, she turned her phone off and flipped it to cover the screen.

Yan Yushan went into the bathroom and saw a clean pair of lace underwear on the rack where clothes were normally stored.

Bai Xiyue must have brought this over.

Whenever she stayed over at his place, she only ever brings a set of clothes to change. As such, there were no extra articles in his house.

The clothes she took off were all in the hamper, so that means...she had gone commando when she was talking to him.

Yan Yushan felt the dryness in his throat intensify and had had to cough twice to ease the pressure.

His apple bobbed up and down as he took off his glasses.

As Bai Xiyue sat on the bed getting cooled by the air conditioner, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something.

She had been so anxious that she walked out without dressing up properly.

Yan Yushan's going to think she was teasing him, isn't he?

She wasn't though!

This was bald-inducing stress.

Bai Xiyue didn't know how much time passed before she heard the sound of the door opening.

Yan Yushan was wiping his hair as he walked inside. The normally combed back hair was now ruffled, a look that made the serious-looking man seem a bit more gentle.

He wasn't wearing his glasses, so he couldn't see as clearly. The slight squint of his eyes had a certain appeal.

The strong hormones that rushed to Bai Xiyue's face made her want to change her words.

Not only is she not going bald, but her hair is so luscious right now!

"You seem to have left something."

Yan Yushan raised his free hand to reveal the item Bai Xiyue forgot about.

His indifferent words had no hint of teasing, but there was something shameful about that appearance of his.

Ahhhhhhh!

This bastard is trying to suck up her energy!

Bai Xiyue had to say that Yan Yushan's appearance and tone suited her tastes to a tee.

Those wide shoulders and narrow waist, he was a beast was lying in wait under the cold and ascetic suit.

"Will you help me put it on?"Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Bai Xiyue's eyebrow rose as she raised a leg in the air.

Yan Yushan placed the cloth and towel aside then let her know just what she can and cannot get away with.

The man had a strong desire to control, and he was the one to set the pace.

Given no other way to struggle, Bai Xiyue dug her nails into his back where she could feel the scorching heat under his cold surface.

Bai Xiyue slept until the next day in a state of 'I know your length, you know my depth'.

The sun's rays shone on her face from outside the window, causing her eyelashes to tremble until she finally opened her eyes.

'Men are scourges', Bai Xiyue thought as she rubbed her waist and legs.

But the system was a good thing.

Bai Xiyue rubbed her belly. She hadn't completely lost her mind last night. She was well aware that Yan Yushan hadn't taken any measures.

Is he trying to make something happen?

Bai Xiyue had a hint of coldness as she instructed the system to remove everything.

The traces were all swept away, and all the aches disappeared. After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she made sure to pick up her dirty clothes before leaving his home.

Bai Xiyue went to the closest house in the vicinity and hand washed her underwear while the rest got thrown into the washing machine. Once she was done, she settled down to play games.

She continued to play yesterday's card game, but there were no golden draws today. The game Yan Yushan helped her draw two SSR for was played for too long, so she was now working through a certain MOBA game.

Bai Xiyue's hand speed was fast. After making in-game purchases to buy a few spells and characters, she went on a winning streak.

She didn't stop until the washing machine was done.

After hanging the clothes on the balcony, Bai Xiyue stretched her body.

Fun time was over. It was time to go find the little milk dog.

In fact, the milk dog was the one who found her.

When she arrived at the place, Chen Qingzhu was already waiting for her at the door.

He was carrying a small bag in his hand, and there was a kind of anticipation in his eyes.

His face lit up with unconcealed joy the moment he caught sight of her.

"This is a gift for you."

Chen Qingzhu handed the small box with some excitement in his voice.

Young people aren't able to hide their emotions very well. Their joy and sorrow were clearly written on their faces.

Compared to the others, Chen Qingzhu's affection was the most unadulterated.

For Shang Junzhuo, the original owner was the little princess he kept under his wings.

Yan Yushan's controlling nature is all that needs to be said about him.

As for Jian Ning and her, it was a mix of things. In addition to their physical and emotional communication, there was a kind of mutual presumptuousness.

Only Chen Qingzhu thought of her as a 'gift'.

She was a type of woman he had never encountered before. As a powerful beauty who cared about and gave him incredible delight, she was undoubtedly an irresistible existence to a boy of his character.

But what Bai Xiyue had to do now was to cruelly give him a reality check and show him the gulf he cannot cross.

Bai Xiyue looked at Chen Qingzhu's hopeful face and cursed the original owner for being a scumbag.

Why did she have to go and harm a child?

"What did you buy?"

Bai Xiyue accepted the gift and asked as if genuinely interested.

"Lipstick." Chen Qingzhu's earlobes were reddish. "I asked a few female classmates what kind of gift would be appropriate for my girlfriend.

"They suggested it if you wear makeup and told me what colors were good. They also recommended a few brands, so I went to check them out. I thought this would be the most beautiful color on you."

Chen Qingzhu strung a lot of words together and was very embarrassed by the end of it.

He had his own reasons for choosing this. Lipstick was something that could be used every day without drawing unnecessary attention. Also, it wasn't something that got used up very quickly.

In this way, Bai Xiyue can think of him every day whenever she puts on makeup.

When Bai Xiyue saw him like this, she couldn't even call to mind how he stabbed her before.

"I like it very much, but next time, don't spend money like this."

Bai Xiyue raised her hand and ruffled Chen Qingzhu's hair as she deliberately poured cold water on his parade.

She knew he must have felt it was worth it, but she doesn't believe it was.

The little milk dog was struck hard, and his ears drooped.

Chen Qingzhu was a little bothered. This lipstick costs over two hundred yuan, which amounts to roughly four days of his part-time work at a western restaurant. But for Bai Xiyue, it was certainly nothing.

Her consideration for him made him feel more uncomfortable.

"Let's go out for a meal together."

Bai Xiyue unpacked the lipstick, put it in her bag, and held on to the wrapping.

Chen Qingzhu responded with an energetic smile. He took the debris from her and threw it in the trash can when they left the community.

Today wasn't the weekend. He still had classes in the afternoon.

So after lunch, he planned on leaving right afterward.

"This is the first lipstick I bought for you." Chen Qingzhu pinched his finger, "There will be better and more beautiful ones in the future."

He looked at Bai Xiyue intently with a dazzling and determined light in his yees.

He will work hard to get ahead, buy her the best clothes, and offer her the best cosmetics. He will become a match for her that doesn't need to hide away.

Bai Xiyue stared at his back and sighed silently.

But soon, she had no time to be sentimental.

Jian Ning called her for a night out.

He and the original owner had originally met at a bar, but after they got together, she had to deal with four boyfriends. She didn't go back there for a long time.

Jian Ning also didn't go out since he now had a girlfriend. His extended invitation was so he could support a friend.

This friend of his had opened a new place and was inviting acquaintances to warm up the venue on the first day.

Jian Ning said the bar had a few good DJs. The place was big, and the acoustics weren't bad. Their night out should be a blast.

Bai Xiyue seldom went out dancing. When she first entered the entertainment circle, she was very busy with work. She didn't have time to sleep, let alone go clubbing. By the time she was free, she had already become a health conscientious person who hugged hot water bottles and ate wolfberry at home. Getting enough sleep and minimizing stress and trouble was her main priority. There was no room for playing.

But now...

"I'll go. See you at the entrance of your studio!"

Clubbing it is! It's important to make yourself happy!

By nine o'clock, the venue was already thriving.

Jian Ning was still in women's wear. His circle of friends knew about his proclivities, so there was nothing to feel shameful about. After all, Jian Ning was eye candy. Whether he wore men's or women's clothing, he was the most beautiful person on the street.

Bai Xiyue wore the black clothes he designed for her today. The navel-revealing dress showed off her figure and long legs.

Dancing can really uplift one's spirits. She's going to dance the night away!

Yan Yushan sat on a sofa in the corner and pressed his agitated temples.

He wasn't very fond of noisy places like this, so he rarely stepped foot in bars. But Tao Lan asked him out for dinner today. He said a friend of his was opening the place tonight and invited him here for a drink.

He didn't decline since they were long-time friends, but the music was giving him a splitting headache.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

"What's wrong, you still don't like this kind of occasion?"

Tao Lan was watching him. At this time, the DJ had changed to an ambiguous and sensational tune. It wasn't noisy, and one could actually carry a conversation.

Yan Yushan shook his glass and took a sip without saying anything.

"I heard you got a girlfriend. What kind of person is she?"

Tao Lan also took a sip of the wine and asked with a smile.

"Her? She's quite gentle—"

Yan Yushan had only spoken a few words when he tilted his head, as if he had recognized someone.

That person on stage wearing revealing clothes and dancing very close to a woman looks a lot like his girlfriend.
