I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 18
ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (18)
Maybe their side profiles just looked similar.
But then the spotlight pointed to the stage. She pushed the person who was dancing close to her and performed a passionate solo.
Yan Yushan saw her from the front. It was definitely her.
He suddenly couldn't bring himself to boast about his girlfriend's gentleness and reservedness.
"It turns out that you like the gentle type. I thought you'd choose someone helpful to your career. You know, two people working hard together."
Tao Lan smiled. He raised the glass up for a sip and concealed the expression on his face.
Yan Yushan's expression was difficult to see in the dim lighting. He didn't seem to have the presence of mind to answer as he continued to stare at that radiant person. Everyone below the stage was cheering her on as if she was their exalted queen.
Yan Yushan's heart felt complicated, but he wasn't as surprised as he thought he would be.
He had already sensed that something was hidden beneath Bai Xiyue's gentle appearance.
She tended to cover up her movements, but nothing escaped his eyes.
He just thought it was harmless at the time. Everyone had a dark side they wished to conceal. It wasn't wrong to make yourself seem perfect in front of your partner. However, he never expected the disparity to be this big.
Bai Xiyue was partying hard. She had taken a few drinks, and the DJ's beat got her very excited.
[System]: No. 2 is looking at you.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
[System]: No. 2 has confirmed your identity.
[System]: Hm, there is no turning back now.
???
[Bai Xiyue ]: Yan Yushan???
[Bai Xiyue]: Why is he here?
Bai Xiyue was cursing up a storm in her heart, but she kept dancing on the surface.
She's lost the heart to party.
[Bai Xiyue]: Why didn't you remind me?!
[System]: The reminder mechanism of the system is as such. There will be no reminder if the danger posed does not involve a shuraba or other related risks.
[System]: I calculated that there was an 80% chance No. 2 would not see you, but you unexpectedly fell into the 20% category.
[System]: Had I told you about him before, your mood would have been greatly affected. A humanized system like myself will not do such things.
[System]: If the spotlight had not pointed at you, and had you not performed a solo dance, there may still have been a chance to run.
The system's unhurried calm was a sharp contrast to Bai Xiyue's ongoing anxiety.
[Bai Xiyue]: You motherf—!
[Bai Xiyue]: I'm gonna kill you one of these days!
Bai Xiyue's heart kept furiously clicking on the thumbs down button for this shitty system.
Sooner or later, she's going to slaughter it.
Bai Xiyue was in no mood to dance. She didn't want to do it anymore.
But then she thought, maybe it was better to carry on with the mistake.
She originally planned on slowly collapsing her character to sort Yan Yushan out. Now that he saw it, she could adjust accordingly.
But she can't keep partying like this. Jian Ning was still next to her. If she gets pulled into a hot kiss, is she going to have to explain to Yan Yushan that's she's actually bi and recently decided to go for women?
But it was still cheating. The excessive stimulation will likely lead to a kacha.
Seeing that she wanted to step down, the crowd began to heckle her to keep going, but she simply waved her hand at them.
Jian Ning saw her stepping down and followed after her.
"What's wrong? Is it boring?" Jian Ning joked. This didn't match Bai Xiyue's combat effectiveness. She can normally last another hour.
"I'm a bit dizzy. Maybe it's because I haven't partied like this in a long time."
Bai Xiyue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Fortunately, it was Yan Yushan who ran into her. If it was Shang Junzhuo, she may have been as good as dead. After all, she told him that she was on her period.
"You're not staying any longer?"
"No, you can stay if you want to keep having fun. I'll head back home to shower and sleep. I can't go on anymore."
Bai Xiyue shook her head to show that she was serious.
"I'll take you."
Jian Ning wasn't the kind of person to go back and play while his uncomfortable girlfriend went home alone. He offered to the bar to get a cold drink for her.
"Okay."
Bai Xiyue didn't refuse but nodded instead.
"Then I'll go tell my friends."
"I'll wait for you by the door."
Jian Ning nodded, then entered the crowd.
Bai Xiyue went out through the back door. Why didn't she use the front door? Naturally, it was because Yan Yushan was still around.
The back door led to an alley filled with trash cans. She walked through the path and waited for Jian Ning to come out.
At the same time, she also told the system to keep an eye on Yan Yushan. She was going to run back into the alley the moment he starts walking out.
The things one does for survival.
After Jian Ning gave his greetings, he came looking for her.
"I drank, so I can't drive. Let's wait for a taxi."
Jian Ning squeezed Bai Xiyue's face slightly. He hadn't done it very hard, but it felt so good, he had to squeeze it a few more times.
Two minutes passed. A taxi came by, but it was occupied.
"It's better to walk while we wait."
Bai Xiyue was afraid of foolishly waiting here only for Yan Yushan to came out and run into them.
Yan Yushan was not like the young Chen Qingzhu. He might even be able to see through Jian Ning's disguise.
"Okay."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
Jian Ning was also happy.
Walking hand in hand with the person you like at night in a buzzed state was kind of romantic.
As soon as Bai Xiyue took two steps, the system sounded an alert.
[System]: No. 2 is walking out. Host, please make immediate preparations to avoid triggering the shuraba situation and blackening condition!
"Fuck! You! Man!"
If she knew this was going to happen two minutes ago, she wouldn't have waited for some damn taxi.
Bai Xiyue was a bit irritable.
After coming to this mission world, her cursing index has increased by leaps and bounds.
She didn't want to be such an irritable old lady, but heaven wouldn't let her go.
So she made a decisive move and dragged Jian Ning into the alley.
"Yueyue?"
"Shut up. This old lady wants to kiss you right now."
Jian Ning was shocked, but he immediately cooperated and let her push him against the wall.
"Come, I'm ready."
In order to match her height, he even bent his knees so they were eye to eye, making it easier for her to kiss him.
There are no lights in this lane. Only the dim moonlight illuminated the couple's outline.
Jian Ning's eyes were very tender and bright at that moment.
For some reason, Bai Xiyue covered them with her hand before raising her head slightly to kiss him.
She knew he was terrifying, but he was very cute when he wasn't being a yandere.
Enough affection can turn into love, but why must they end it in such a crazy way?
Bai Xiyue's kiss was very soft. She merely touched his lips without any trace of desire.
She didn't feel a need to indulge in Jian Ning. Other than that day where she couldn't hold back and kissed him after failing at Yan Yushan's house, she has never thought of using him to relieve her stress.
She didn't even consider it at this moment.
The four people were fairly good. They should have had a complete love story, not like the former one. The original owner wasn't the only one who was torn apart; they tore apart their own lives.
Things shouldn't have ended up that way.
Jian Ning felt Bai Xiyue's tenderness.
He took pulled her hand from his face and clasped their fingers together.
Feeling puzzled, he reached out and touched her lips.
He felt that she was acting a bit strange. Usually, after drinking and dancing, she was more enthusiastic. She wouldn't be the way she is now.
Her sudden change was unsettling him.
"What's wrong?"
The voice was very clear at night. Tao Lan had just walked out with Yan Yushan and wasn't pay attention to the nearby sounds.
"Keep going, Yushan. I'll have to trouble you to send me back."
Yan Yushan nodded. He drank so little that it wouldn't even be detected on an alcohol-testing device.
There was no sound coming from the alley. Yan Yushan merely glanced over without paying much attention.
Therefore, he didn't know that a Bai Xiyue was being hugged and kissed by another man a few steps away from him.
Jian Ning's kiss was far from gentle. It could even be called ravaging.
The unbridled entanglement could overwhelm anyone.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
Bai Xiyue didn't say anything and let him kiss her.
She was really scared that he would speak up again. Yan Yushan hadn't left yet.
If he suddenly says 'Yueyue', she won't need either of them to attack her. She will be the first to gut herself.
[System]: The crisis of No. 2 has been averted.
When Yan Yushan left, she finally relaxed.
Suddenly, an inexplicable urge to laugh rose up.
"Why are you giggling?"
Jian Ning's fingers touched her slightly swollen lips, then move along her cheeks and up to her eyebrows.
Bai Xiyue silently shook her head.
She just didn't think there would be a day where she would actually kiss a man in a dark alley in order to hide from another man.
She wasn't unhappy though.
Then again, she was having an affair with both men.
Bai Xiyue and Jian Ning held hands. After walking for a while, they found an available taxi.
The night's moonshine was not sultry or beautiful. It may have been ordinary, but it was somehow hard to forget.
Jian Ning still extended his invitation, but Bai Xiyue shook her head.
Although the beauty was bewitching, she wasn't enchanted. There was still a tough battle waiting to be fought on Yan Yushan's side.
If she performs well, there may be unexpected gains. If she doesn't, she will get a game over.
After Jian Ning left, Bai Xiyue took a cab back to the residence she told Yan Yushan about.
The system spoke the moment she exited the car.
[System]: I am reminding you this time.
[System]: No. 2 is inside the car behind you towards the right.
A black car was parked not far from the community gates.
Yan Yushan, who was inside, watched the woman step out of the taxi.
She was wearing a dark outfit that exposed a waist so thin, it looked too fragile to hold. He couldn't see how she could smile so reservedly in long skirts.
He was a bit surprised. She actually came back so soon just because she was drunk? He had prepared himself to wait there for a long time and even expected her not to return.
Bai Xiyue already knew he would come here, so she didn't look back when the prompt sounded. Instead, she walked into the community with a calm expression.
As soon as she entered the house, the phone in her hand vibrated.
