Also known as: After Breaking Up, My Rival is Bound to the Virtuous Husband System.
As a game engineer, the female lead, Pei Wu, was questioned by players for never having been in love. So, s...
The indoor temperature was quite high, so Shen Yu Nan, who had just finished showering, only wore a black down jacket over a thin T-shirt. Once inside, he took off the jacket and hung it on the wall in the entryway.
Pei Wu was quite reserved upon entering the room. She stood in the entryway, staring at Shen Yu Nan's back. Too many questions arose in her mind, and for a moment she didn't know how to start speaking.
"You..." Shen Yu'nan saw Pei Wu standing by the door. "Aren't you coming in?"
"You can stand here." The scent of Shen Yu Nan was even stronger in the room.
Pei Wu knew that Shen Yu Nan was not in good health and that she couldn't let him stand in the windy corridor for a long time, but she was still guessing what was going on and appeared quite reserved at this moment.
Shen Yu Nan nodded in response. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was pounding like a drum.
"Cough cough..."
Shen Yu Nan coughed a few more times. Perhaps because the entrance was narrow, the sound of Shen Yu Nan's coughing seemed to be right next to Pei Wu's ear.
"Aren't you feeling any better?"
"Cough cough... That's just how my body is... cough cough... It's nothing..." This cough seemed a bit more rapid. He tried to suppress it but couldn't, which only made his eyes redder. After finally calming down a bit, his already weak body, combined with the close contact with Pei Wu, the lack of timely injections of inhibitors, and the influence of Pei Wu's faint hormonal scent, made his legs feel weak. He could only reach out and hold onto the wall to steady himself.
Shen Yu'nan's cough had improved somewhat, but it worsened again today after catching a cold. In addition, he hadn't been able to eat properly today, which made him even weaker.
Pei Wu looked at the sickly Shen Yu Nan in front of her and suddenly felt flustered. She could vaguely recall when she first met Shen Yu Nan after entering the game. He was covered in bruises and looked haggard and sickly. Especially after her consciousness gradually returned after being bound to the game system, the first time she saw him... he looked so weak that he seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind... and there were clear, bloody teeth marks on his shoulder, the blood still slowly seeping into his wrinkled white shirt.
Furthermore, she plotted to get rid of Diana in front of the young master of the Zhou family.
Furthermore, he appeared on the second day of their marriage to help Diana get rid of Gu Yanyu.
These images flashed quickly through Pei Wu's mind... If the person in front of her wasn't Shao Sang, their relationship wouldn't really be considered close.
Thinking of this, she wanted to reach out and help Shen Yu Nan, who was so close to her, but she still slightly withdrew her hand.
Pei Wu is a rational person, but she doesn't have high emotional intelligence.
She hadn't had much contact with the male protagonist of the game, and she found it hard to imagine that he and Shao Sang were the same person. It was simply unbelievable. But Pei Wu thought that this was just a virtual game world, and it was as if the impossible became not so impossible... However, she still needed to verify it herself to feel at ease.
Shen Yu Nan's house wasn't big to begin with, and the entrance hall was even smaller, with only a few steps between the two of them. Pei Wu could almost smell the fragrance of Shen Yu Nan's shower gel.
"You..." Pei Wu was about to ask a question when she seemed to remember something and looked around.
"The child is asleep."
Knowing Pei Wu well, Shen Yu Nan saw through her thoughts at a glance.
"..." Pei Wu choked on her words, "The child is asleep." For some reason, she felt that the words were quite ambiguous. She swallowed hard and looked back into Shen Yu Nan's eyes. Even though Pei Wu had a thousand words to say, she finally uttered, "Are you... Shao Sang?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan remained silent.
Shen Yu Nan knew perfectly well that he could never utter such clear words as 'Shen Yu Nan is Shao Sang'.
As Shen Yu Nan's mind raced, she subconsciously bit her lip.
“…” Pei Wu’s heart stirred again as she watched the other person’s unintentional little gesture.
Having spent so much time together, she had long since noticed that her Shao Sang would make these little gestures when she was thinking.
A few seconds later, he answered Pei Wu in a slightly hoarse voice, "Just how much clearer do you need me to be?"
For some reason, Pei Wu detected a faint hint of a sob in the other person's rather forlorn voice. "Just as Mr. Yan Chang cannot reveal his real name, I also have some things... that I cannot say." Shen Yu Nan was resolute in nature, and the reason his voice was tinged with sobs at this moment was simply because he was being influenced by Pei Wu's hormones and had a physiological reaction.
It wasn't just her voice, which had a hint of crying, that was controlled by her physiology; her eyes were also reddened.
