I'm In A Shuraba Every Time I Open My Eyes: Chapter 4

ARC 1: FIRST BATTLEFIELD (4)

[Bai Xiyue]: Why didn't you say this earlier?!

[System]: You answered too quickly. I did not have time...

Bai Xiyue covered the phone with her hand before the caller could speak then distanced herself from the device.

"I saw a milk tea shop over there when I first came in. Can you go buy me a cup of fruit tea?"

Her free hand hooked Shang Junzhuo's pinkie finger and gently swayed it back and forth as she spoke coquettishly .

Naturally, Shang Junzhuo wouldn't refuse her and walked towards the location she pointed to.

Bai Xiyue quickly placed the phone back on her ear and headed for the elevator.

"I think I heard you talking to someone just now. Are you busy?"

The male voice felt somewhat cold. Bai Xiyue immediately visualized the man with glasses.

He was the one who wore gold-rimmed glasses back at the restaurant, and the one who stood behind her for a while.

Bai Xiyue called the system and asked for her character setting.

[System]: Intellectual; gentle and a bit shy.

What sort of schizophrenic weirdo was the original owner?

"Mm, I'm busy. What's the matter?" Bai Xiyue steadied her breath. Her eyes were focused on Shang Junzhuo's direction.

"I just closed a big deal and wanted to celebrate with you. Let's have dinner tonight."

"I might not have time."

"Hm? Is the store busy?"

What store? Didn't the contact say she was a chief editor?

Bai Xiyue was a little dazed as she hummed in assent.

"I'll pick you up from the store. I'm hoping the busy bee could find some time to have a meal with her boyfriend."

The slight smile in the man's voice sounded sultry.

"You don't have to come just to pick me up. Call me when you're done. We'll set up a time."

Bai Xiyue quickly vetoed it. What store? She was so confused right now.

"That's fine. See you then."

"See you."

Shang Junzhuo came over with the fruit tea just when Bai Xiyue hung up.

"The editor-in-chief is looking for you, is it about work?"

Bai Xiyue felt troubled. She didn't know what these men were talking about but still had to smile and nod.

She needed to acquire the memories as soon as possible, otherwise she will always remain indecisive.

"Where do you want to go next? Do you want me to take you shopping?"

It was three o'clock in the afternoon so it was still early.

"I don't want to shop today and there's nothing I want to buy. Let's just go back."

Bai Xiyue took a sip of the cold fruit tea and bit the pulp in her mouth. She was shaking her head at him.

Shang Junzhuo looked at his girlfriend's disinterested expression and nodded.

His home wasn't particularly luxurious; it was a three-bedroom house. The hamster pillows on the sofa and the snacks on the coffee table made the place seem lived in.

Bai Xiyue wore indoor slippers. To avoid exposing any strangeness, she didn't even look around. She threw her bag on the sofa then walked straight to the bathroom and closed the door.

When she sat on the toilet lid, Bai Xiyue felt a real sense of liberation.

[Bai Xiyue]: Hurry up, hurry up! Memories!

[System]: There will be a slight sense of dizziness and weightlessness during the transmission. Please be prepared.

Bai Xiyue nodded. Ready.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

The next moment, a strong feeling of weightlessness struck her, which then caused her to fall to the ground. The movement wasn't small. Shang Junzhuo was soon knocking on the door asking after her.

[Bai Xiyue]: You call this fucking slight?!

She didn't have time to respond to the person outside and tried to digest the original owner's memories.

The original owner was a person of good fortune. She was born into a well-off family from a first-tier city. Her family background was very wealthy. Because she was their only daughter, her loving parents raised her like a little princess.

While she was in college, her parents died during a pile-up road accident and the insurance had to pay out a large sum of money. This compensation plus her parents' deposits was enough for the original owner to live in plenty.

And so, after the original owner graduated, she didn't get a job but went out to learn anything she was interested in.

When it came to the original owner's infidelity, Bai Xiyue could only say she was really sick in the head.

Most people would feel guilty about pedaling several boats, but the pure-bred scum got a kick out of this NTR¹ behavior. She can be thought of as a real freak.

Dr. Shang's full name was Shang Junzhuo, a surgeon. The original owner came across him when she went to the hospital for a physical checkup.

At that time, Dr. Shang was wearing a white coat, walking forward with a medical report in hand. His face immediately K.O.'d the original owner's heart, leading her to use all sorts of flirting techniques to get him.

He can be regarded as the main concubine.

At that time, His Royal Highness asked the original owner what her occupation was, but she couldn't say she was unemployed. So, she made up a story about being a photographer, thereby leading to today's code name 'chief editor'.

In fact, the original owner didn't know a thing about taking photos back then. Just being able to use selfie filter apps was a decent feat in her opinion.

But the original owner was a meticulous girl. After talking about the job, she really went off to study photography and could imitate what she learned.

But as the saying goes, 'Home flowers don't carry the fragrance of wildflowers'. Consequently, when the first concubine was busy with work, she secretly took in a second one.

At that time, the original owner's friend was trying to convince her to open a coffee shop together. As one of the store managers, she often went there when she had nothing else to do. One day, a man with an impeccable suit, leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses walked in with the air of a cool ascetic.

The original owner couldn't help herself and decided to fool around. In order to conform to her identity as a cafe owner, she disguised herself as an intellectual with a gentle and shy personality.

Thanks to the original owner's good-looking face and excellent acting skills, she successfully won over boyfriend No. 2.

After that, the original owner went on to seamlessly switch between a cute and clingy woman and an elegant and virtuous lady every single day.

When Bai Xiyue recalled up to this point, she felt it was a waste for the original owner not to have joined the entertainment circle with those acting skills.

The intense feeling of dizziness had yet to wane when the nausea arrived.

When Shang Junzhuo opened the door, he found his girlfriend lying on the floor and retching.

"Yueyue—Yueyue, what's wrong?" There was a moment of panic on Shang Junzhuo's face. He quickly helped Bai Xiyue up and guided her to breathe steadily.

Bai Xiyue waved him away. She grabbed the bathroom sink and proceeded to hurl.

It felt like she was riding a stimulating roller coaster over and over again; there was dizziness, then nausea, followed by an urge to vomit.

After a while, Bai Xiyue eased and finally followed Shang Junzhuo to regulate her breathing. He helped her to the sofa and poured a glass of warm water for her.

"Do you have an upset stomach? Was the fruit tea too cold?"

"It's okay. I just suddenly felt unwell. I'll feel better after lying down for a bit."

She hasn't acquired all the memories!

"Then I'll help you to the bed."

Bai Xiyue nodded and extended her hand over to him.

This was the body's natural reaction. It was as if she had done this many times before.

Shang Junzhuo lifted her up and placed her on the bed.

He kissed Bai Xiyue's face and rubbed her nose intimately with his own.

"You have to tell me if you still feel uncomfortable, otherwise come over to our hospital for a checkup."

"Okay, I'll go when I have the time."

"Go tomorrow."

Shang Junzhuo held Bai Xiyue's hand and used his free hand to gently rub her abdomen. He didn't give her room to say otherwise.

"It depends on the work situation tomorrow. I'll be there."

Bai Xiyue hasn't forgotten that she made an appointment with the crossdresser tomorrow.

Shang Junzhuo nodded and continued to rub Bai Xiyue's belly for her.

"It's not uncomfortable. I'll just lie down for a while."

Bai Xiyue was still waiting to receive the rest of the memories. She closed her eyes and acted like she wanted to sleep.

Shang Junzhuo lifted his hand. Her visage was reflected in his pair of eyes. Lowering his head, he kissed her on the lips.

Bai Xiyue tried her best to stop herself from stiffening and forced herself to make an expression full of trust and tenderness.

"Then you rest first. I'll go shopping for groceries and make your favorite dishes tonight."

"I may not eat at home tonight. The editor-in-chief wants to have a work dinner."

Bai Xiyue blinked and watched the departing Shang Junzhuo pause.

"Is that so..."

Shang Junzhuo's expression was a bit disappointed. He held himself back from saying she wasn't allowed to go out.

She would get angry. He didn't want them to have a conflict.

"What time?"Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com

"I don't know. I'm still waiting for the notice."

Who the heck knew when Yan Yushan would ask her out?

"I'm a bit sleepy. I'll go to bed first. You're not allowed to bother me."

Bai Xiyue turned over and closed her eyes.

Shang Junzhuo stood there and stared at her for a while before closing the door on his way out.

As Bai Xiyue continued to receive the remaining memories, she was shocked by the original owner's lack of integrity.

As a surgeon, Shang Junzhuo was busy most of the time. Yan Yushan was the director of a company and was normally too busy to see her since he often had to work overtime. Feeling bored and lonely, the original owner went after Chen Qingzhu, her third goal.

Chen Qingzhu was a sophomore in the music department. His family's financial situation wasn't very good. Attending music school already hollowed out his family's fortune and he had to rely on work-study for his living expenses.

When the original owner was eating at a restaurant, he happened to be working there as a waiter. The close-fitting clothes perfectly outlined the youth's figure and like his name, he resembled a firm young bamboo; green and beautiful.

That bashfulness and innocence conquered the original owner. As a result, she got too caught up in the play and transformed herself into a headstrong and alluring older woman in order to tame the little brother into becoming a little milk dog².

Who doesn't like little milk dogs? They're dependent, loyal, and obedient. You can train them to only look at you.

And so, the original owner happily shuttled between three men every day. For a while, she was Dr. Shang's little princess; a childish but cutesy woman who was pampered. Then, she was Director Yan's good wife; a gentle and shy woman who was cared for. After that, she was the little milk dog's irresistible sister who could make him do whatever she wanted with a kabedon³.

However, the little milk dog was also very busy with either schoolwork or part-time jobs. He had an unyielding personality and refused to be raised by his girlfriend. As a consequence, the original owner was lonely once again.

The next situation happened when she went clubbing and met Jian Ning, the crossdresser.

He played more openly. The original owner had never seen his type before and happily took the bait. When she wasn't distracted by his crossdressing, she was enjoying the thrill of seeing different people.

If the boats didn't capsize, the original owner would have gone off to have a fifth and a sixth.

Ahhhhhh sicko! Bai Xiyue roared inwardly.
