Chapter 9. A Romance? The Kidney-Stealing Kind (9)
“Wan Wan, see how persistent he is? Should I release some of the dirt I have on him to teach him a lesson?”
Yin Meichang sat beside Shen Wan, asking softly. Her gentle tone and smiling eyes hardly seemed threatening. To onlookers, they appeared to be whispering sweet nothings.
Those who had suspected Yin Meichang of forcing Shen Wan quickly dismissed the idea. Clearly, theirs was a mutual affection. In fact, Huo Han now seemed like a spurned suitor, bitter with resentment.
Shen Wan grasped Yin Meichang’s arm. “Little Mei, please ask the officers to go easy on Huo Han during his stay.”
“Be a good girl, and I’ll grant your every wish.” Yin Meichang’s lips curled upward. She’d put in a word, ensuring Huo Han suffered a bit more.
The couple married under the gaze of countless onlookers.
Yin Meichang’s public same-sex marriage was a rarity in their circle. Her status protected her from criticism, and even her parents were open-minded. As long as their daughter was happy, the gender of her spouse mattered little.
Hearing of Shen Wan’s terminal illness, the elderly couple felt a pang of regret as they watched Yin Meichang, radiantly happy, holding the hand of the gaunt girl in matching wedding gowns. Their daughter clearly adored this emaciated girl.
After the ceremony, Yin Meichang led Shen Wan to change into cheongsams.
In the dressing room, Shen Wan watched as Yin Meichang confidently shed her wedding gown, revealing the beautiful curves of her back. Shen Wan quickly covered her mouth. She’d always known Yin Meichang was attractive, but my goodness—that slender waist, that flawless back, those long, graceful legs.
She was breathtaking!!!
And this gorgeous woman was her wife!
Yin Meichang seemed to sense something. She turned, cheongsam in hand, and approached Shen Wan. Her remaining undergarments did little to conceal her allure. Shen Wan bit her lip, trying not to stare at certain areas. She confirmed her wife was definitely a C-cup, perfect size. Her figure was flawless!
“Wan Wan, let me help you change first.” Yin Meichang smiled, setting aside the cheongsam. Seeing Shen Wan’s wide-eyed stare, she reached to unfasten her wedding gown. Her soft fingers brushed Shen Wan’s skin, leaving her powerless to resist.
“I… I can do it myself.”
Shen Wan felt embarrassed, but her honest body didn’t stop Yin Meichang’s actions. Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly felt a chill as her gown fell away. Yin Meichang gazed at Shen Wan’s skeletal form, her heart aching. Her Wan Wan had grown even thinner.
She wondered how long this vibrant Wan Wan would remain by her side. The thought filled her with sorrow.
Embracing Shen Wan’s frail body, she gently kissed her shoulder blade, murmuring, “As the Yin family heiress, I’ve always had everything I wanted. I’ve never known what it’s like to be powerless. I even mocked those who faced difficulties helplessly, crying in regret, thinking they weren’t trying hard enough or had been careless to end up in such miserable situations. Today, I finally understand.”
“In the face of death, I too am powerless.”
“Don’t be sad, Little Mei.” Shen Wan patted Yin Meichang’s smooth back. “Help me into the cheongsam. You’ve already used such underhanded methods to marry me, what more could you want? Don’t you like me? I’m all yours now, aren’t you happy? You’re so insatiable. After scheming to win me over, do you plan to just mope and cry? In TV dramas, when villains capture their love interests, don’t they shower them with treasures, only to have them thrown back in their faces? Don’t you think my attitude is quite friendly?”
Yin Meichang: “……”
188: “……” Keep spinning your tales.
“You’re right. Now that I’ve won you, how can I wallow in melancholy? I should be content.” Yin Meichang finished helping Shen Wan into her cheongsam and made a request. “Wan Wan, now it’s your turn to dress me. I’ve captured you, and I hold plenty of leverage over Huo Han. From today on, you must obey me.”
Oh my! So direct? But she loved it.
Shen Wan’s hands trembled as she took five minutes to help Yin Meichang into her cheongsam. Her eyes never left Yin Meichang, drinking in her beauty. Noticing Shen Wan’s gaze, Yin Meichang’s lips curved upward, her mood lifting as she took Shen Wan’s hand and led her out.
After a busy day, Yin Meichang brought a tipsy Shen Wan back to the villa. Glancing at Shen Wan’s flushed face resting on her shoulder, she leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips. She had given the household staff time off. Laying Shen Wan on the sofa, she gently patted her rosy cheeks, her low voice filled with affection as she called, “Wan Wan.”
“Mm…”
Shen Wan mumbled softly, eyes closed, appearing completely intoxicated. Feeling someone patting her face, she frowned, blindly grabbing the offending hand and hugging it to her face as she continued to slumber.
“Wan Wan, let’s get you cleaned up.” Yin Meichang’s heart raced nervously as she helped Shen Wan up, her ears and cheeks reddening. Seeing the girl in her arms, drunk and flushed like a ripe cherry, made her mouth go dry. For the first time, she desperately wanted someone. “You promised to obey me. It’s our wedding night, so… I won’t hold back. Besides, we’re wives now. It’s only natural for us to be intimate, right?”
Shen Wan thought: Go for it, Little Mei! Don’t hold back at all!!
[188 cried out in despair: “Wan Wan, wake up! How did you get drunk so easily? If you don’t wake up, you’ll end up in bed with a supporting character! You’re the female lead, how can you sleep with a supporting character?”]
Shen Wan: She was drunk. Who was this “wake up”? She didn’t know them.
[188: “Wan Wan, quick, wake up! I never heard this body couldn’t handle a couple of drinks.”]
Shen Wan: She wanted to be drunk. What did it have to do with her body?
188 watched in horror as Yin Meichang and Shen Wan’s clothes disappeared piece by piece… Just as areas below the neck were about to be exposed, he was automatically censored. He wailed in terror!!
Ahhhhh!
His host was about to sleep with a supporting character.
To protect the host’s privacy, any scene showing below the neck would be automatically censored. He couldn’t see or even speak to the host.
188 crouched sadly, drawing circles on the ground. His host was drunk and sleeping with a supporting character. How could this still become a sweet romance? With his host doing so many outrageous things, why wasn’t the alarm going off? Why did it only trigger if she expressed love for someone other than the male lead?
Why didn’t doing such below-the-neck activities result in extraction from this world?
188 posted about this on an anonymous forum and received answers:
“With so many restrictions, how are missions supposed to be completed??”
“What if they’re accidentally attacked by a pervert or someone accidentally touches them below the neck? If that led to extraction, our Time-Space Department would go bankrupt, leaving a bunch of unemployed agents. Would you take responsibility?”
“As long as your host loves the male lead, it’s fine. Stop nitpicking.”
Reading the replies, 188 wept silently. Was Shen Wan truly in love with the male lead? She claimed to love Huo Han desperately, but who knew how many times she had cursed him as a scumbag in her heart? Now she was probably delighted, engaging in below-the-neck activities with a supporting character.
He felt the alarm system was completely unscientific.
As 188 wallowed in misery, dawn broke.
The censorship lifted, and he hurried to check on Shen Wan and Yin Meichang. They were embracing, gazing into each other’s eyes. Judging by their bare arms, the scene beneath the covers was undoubtedly indescribable.
It was all over!
They remained entwined for a long time, neither letting go. Shen Wan’s eyes were misty, appearing dazed and confused, but she was actually savoring the memory of last night’s indescribable events.
Yin Meichang’s cheeks were also unusually flushed. She leaned in close to Shen Wan, nibbling her ear, her voice tinged with shyness as she said, “Wan Wan, why were you so forward with me last night?”
188: I don’t want to hear this. Why isn’t it censored now? Damn, this life is unbearable.
“What do you mean, forward?” Shen Wan looked bewildered, glancing down at herself. “Little Mei, you’re so despicable. You took advantage of me while I was drunk and…” Slept with me.
“You were the one who took the initiative in the second half of the night, Wan Wan,” Yin Meichang corrected, quite serious about this point. “I initiated in the first half, you in the second. If you hadn’t called me despicable, I’d have thought you’d fallen for me.”
“Did I really take the initiative?” Shen Wan furrowed her brow, her conflicted expression utterly adorable. Yin Meichang cupped her face and kissed her. “Tell me, why were you so forward with me?”
“Maybe it was… a moment of passion induced by alcohol?” Shen Wan said confidently. “Little Mei, you truly are a despicable woman, taking advantage of my drunken state to seduce me into doing such things.”
“Oh… a moment of passion, was it?” Yin Meichang’s lips curled into a smile. “Then tonight, don’t drink any alcohol.”
“What are you planning?” Shen Wan’s expression turned horrified as she pushed Yin Meichang away, rolling backwards wrapped in the blanket. But Yin Meichang was quicker, swiftly embracing her and licking her earlobe. “You’re my wife. What else would I do but what we should, exercising my rights? What, are you disobeying again?”
“You despicable woman, threatening me again!! Fine, you win… I’ll be obedient, I won’t resist at all. Do whatever you want.” Shen Wan looked resigned, but her eyes showed no unwillingness. She might as well have directly invited Yin Meichang to have her way with her.
188: Hah… At least don’t be so eager.
Hearing this, Yin Meichang could no longer hold back. Her red lips descended as she said, “Then I won’t hold back.”
Much later, Yin Meichang got up to make breakfast.
Shen Wan emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her face flushed as she leaned against the sofa, eyes half-closed as if savoring a memory.
[188: “Was it good?”]
“It was.”
[188: “You’re the female lead.”]
“188, I was forced into it.”
188: Who are you trying to fool?
