I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 23

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (23)

Unbelievable.

Bai Xiyue's face had no expression.

She couldn't even dare to see what kind of expression Shang Junzhuo was making right now.

It must be awful.

Doctor Shang is so pitiful. He got cheated on twice in one day.

She's also pitiful; to actually overturn the car twice in a single day.

Bai Xiyue really didn't expect Chen Qingzhu's emotions to rebound, which is why she said what she did.

Chen Qingzhu plucked up his courage and looked straight at Bai Xiyue's brother.

But this brother's expression was too gloomy, and the emotions in his eyes were saying he wanted to kill him right then and there.

"Sorry, I might not have heard you clearly. If I may ask, what are you to her?"

Shang Junzhuo straightened up and looked at Chen Qingzhu.

Chen Qingzhu took a deep breath but was he wasn't as nervous.

"I'm Xiyue's boyfriend. I know I'm somewhat young compared to her, but I will use my own efforts to give Xiyue a piece of the sky."

Brother, can you just shut up!

Please stop talking!

Yueyue wants to cry!

Bai Xiyue was really crying in her heart. It was fine the first time, but now she's just feeling embarrassed.

This atmosphere was suffocating.

"Yueye, is what he said true?" Shang Junzhuo looked at Bai Xiyue. He was staring at her, trying to find an answer from within.

"Of course it's not true. I... he..."

Ahhhhhhhhhh!Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

[Bai Xiyue]: Tongzi, reload!

[System]: I... am willing to help, but unable to do so.

The system's voice sounded pained. Without reaching the threshold, there was really no way to go back.

Bai Xiyue stiffened. She couldn't breathe the longer she thought about this situation.

Bai Xiyue wanted to defend herself but didn't know how to do it.

It's already turned out this way. She doesn't think she can save the situation no matter what she says.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty."

"Twenty?"

Shang Jun Zhuo scoffed. His eyes were cold.

"Yueyue, you really, have a wretched heart."

Bai Xiyue didn't say a word. In her heart, she was whispering 'shuddup'.

The original owner had a wretched heart. Anyway, he's a grownup.

"Who did she say I am to her?"

Shang Junzhuo looked at Chen Qingzhu. His voice sounded a little bit colder than before.

"You're not her older brother?"

Chen Qingzhu was also having his misgivings.

"Older brother?"

Shang Junzhuo scrutinized these two words, then grabbed Bai Xiyue's hand.

She had a feeling this wasn't going to be good.

Sure enough, Shang Junzhuo dragged her to the wall and pinned her against it with a kiss.

His movements weren't as gentle as they usually are. Shang Junzhuo's anger could be tasted as he bit Bai Xiyue's lips until they bled.

Bai Xiyue was cursing in her heart because the original owner's abnormal reaction kicked in right then.

This was obviously a life-threatening situation, but Bai Xiyue's body was caving in, and the delight, as well as excitement bursting out of her heart, took over her nerves. She almost couldn't stop herself from entangling with the man on top of her.

Fortunately, she was still in control.

Bai Xiyue shoved Shang Junzhuo away and wiped the blood from her lips.

Chen Qingzhu was a little close to stupefied as he looked incredulously back at Bai Xiyue and Shang Junzhuo.

"Do you now understand our relationship?

"Do you still think you can shelter her from the wind and rain as you are?

"Are you worthy?"

Shang Junzhuo's sharp and sardonic tone pierced Chen Qingzhu without mercy. Chen Qingzhu stayed in place as if he hadn't reacted to the impact.

Bai Xiyue didn't know who was more miserable, the little milk dog, or Doctor Shang, but what she knew was that the follow-up was going to be chilling.

Shang Junzhuo closed the door. The sound of the door slamming shut reverberated outside.

He sat on the sofa, raised his chin, and motioned for Bai Xiyue to sit down as well.

He looked calm, but Bai Xiyue was well aware of how perilous the situation was.

Shang Junzhuo was just like this when he pierced her with a syringe the last time.

"When did it start?"

Shang Junzhuo looked at Bai Xiyue, planning to inquire clearly.

"A month ago."

Bai Xiyue uttered nonsense with a straight face.

In fact, it was not just a month. According to the original owner's memories, it had been nearly three months.

"So you're admitting it?"

"You know everything. There's no point in lying."

Bai Xiyue leaned against the sofa. Whether she sticks her neck out for the blade or shrinks back, it will still come down on her. So, let's make it as violent as possible.

"And the reason?"

"Looking for excitement."

Bai Xiyue's simple and straightforward words made Shang Junzhuo laugh angrily.

"Bai Xiyue, have I been too good to you? Is that why you're doing something like this to hurt me without holding back?"

Shang Junzhuo was so upset that even his voice had a slight tremor.

"Yes."

Bai Xiyue replied very honestly.

Doctor Shang was too good to the original owner. Now add the original owner's abnormalities.

The incessant knocking from outside was still going on. Bai Xiyue couldn't even imagine how much pain he was in right now.

Bai Xiyue thought to herself, if Shang Junzhuo doesn't hesitate to use a knife or needle on her, then whatever. She'll just quickly reload and salvage the situation.

And so, Bai Xiyue straightforwadly shattered the already broken pot¹.

"Junzhuo, if nothing like this had happened today, under what circumstances would you break up with me?"

"Break up?"Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

Shang Junzhuo's expression sank, looking thoroughly displeased.

"Yueyue, how can you talk about breaking up?

"First, let's get rid of people that don't concern us."

Shang Junzhuo stood up and made a call.

"Hello, property management? There's a stranger who keeps knocking on my door. Could I trouble you to bring security up and escort him out?" After Shang Junzhuo finished the phone call, he didn't return to the living room to continue the conversation. Instead, he picked up the plastic bag from before and walked into the kitchen.

Bai Xiyue was a little dazed as she sat there in the living room. Weren't they just talking? Why has he suddenly changed his attitude?

It's scary.

A few minutes later, Shang Junzhuo walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of white fungus soup and placed it in front of her.

The soup looked very sweet, and the red wolfberries that dotted the surface made it seem more vivid.

"Drink this first. You must have been waiting for a long time."

Bai Xiyue held the bowl. She was a little hesitant.

After that experience with Yan Yushan, Bai Xiyue desperately wanted to get rid of this soup, but the show must go on. Her heart was already feeling prickled.

It looks delicious, but if there's medicine inside, that would be much better. After drinking it, she could happily reload.

"You're drinking it?"

"Aren't you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry, but anger won't solve the problem."

If Bai Xiyue couldn't reload, she would have been trembling in fear and have her guard up to the maximum. But since she could go back, who was there to be afraid of?

Bai Xiyue took the bowl and drank the white fungus soup.

Ai, the deliciousness goes without saying.

After drinking, Shang Junzhuo took the bowl away.

As she sat on the sofa, Bai Xiyue gradually felt sleepy.

She heard footsteps drawing closer until they stopped in front of her.

She squinted her eyes. This wasn't the first time the car overturned. There was no need to be so nervous.

"How could we break up?"

An ice-cold hand caressed her face gently in comfort.

"Not even death can tear us apart."

A soft kiss fell on her lips, carrying a touch of tenderness as well as a touch of unspeakable madness.

Death?

Bai Xiyue had a vague notion.

She was very sleepy, but she still didn't close her eyes.

As a result, she saw Shang Junzhuo's beautiful eyes. They were full of irreversible darkness tinged with a sense of paranoia and possession.

Such strong colors. She saw them in her ex-boyfriend's eyes back in the real world.

There was the same palpitating dread, but now there was also an inexplicable compassion.

If he meets the right person with these emotions he needed, then they would definitely have a happy ending.

"Sleep. Everything will be just fine when you wake up.

"Don't worry, I can't bear to hurt you. As for eyesore in the way..."

Bai Xiyue didn't finish listening to this sentence, but she didn't need to finish listening to know what he was going to say next.

Bai Xiyue chose to reload to before Chen Qingzhu's speech.

She had considered the time. If she doesn't open the door, Chen Qingzhu has a high chance of bumping into Shang Junzhuo, the same way they did back at the restaurant.

Bai Xiyue felt it was better to control this development herself. If she lets Shang Junzhuo and Chen Qingzhu meet, who knows what the latter will say.

At the time when Chen Qingzhu knocks on the door, there's a fifty-fifty chance that things will work out.

Bai Xiyue wanted to reduce the risk as much as possible, but she also didn't want to ruin the odds.

Also, if she reloads back to a further point in time, all the effort she put into pressuring Chen Qingzhu would be for naught.

She went back to when Chen Qingzhu held her hand, but this time, she didn't give him any time to say anything.

She pulled away, waved to Chen Qingzhu, and closed the door.

According to her calculations, Chen Qingzhu wouldn't do anything like knock on the door to carry on this topic.

Sure enough, there was no movement outside.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

As Chen Qingzhu stood outside the door, he felt that all the emotions he had been brewing were drowned out by a basin of cold water.

He stared at the door then left with a sad expression.

"What were you doing? Why did it take so long?"

"I bought a few things then ran into a patient's family member on the road. That's why I'm late."

Shang Junzhuo pulled out a ladle from the plastic bag and went into the kitchen to wash it. He scooped out a bowl of white fungus soup and brought it to the table.

Bai Xiyue happily drank the soup then continued to play games on the sofa.

She originally planned on playing an exciting game, but after what she just went through, she quietly picked out a tower defense game and breezed through it.

Bai Xiyue got through the first comfortable night in this world. There were no sexy times, no exhaustion, she only played games until she was tired of it then took a bath and headed for bed.

Except for Doctor Shang lying next to him, nothing else was different from her daily life at home.

But after getting herself killed twice by him, Bai Xiyue was no longer tense.

But she had settled in too much. When the somewhat doubtful Shang Junzhuo stood in front of her and asked period, she realized that she had forgotten something.

"Isn't it that time of the month?"

Doctor Shang asked with some suspicion.

A certain someone took a bath and didn't even have a used sanitary pad in the bathroom bin.

But that was just a small problem.

"Maybe it's because of my recent work schedule. There was a bit the past two days, but then it stopped. I did line a pad—aiyah, stop asking me these things."

Bai Xiyue pretended to be modest and to keep up with the farce, she laid down and went to sleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, she received a call from the car dealership, saying she could go pick up the car.

"Okay."

Bai Xiyue hung up the phone.

She can now sort out the little milk dog.
