Chapter 93, Day 4 of Summer Vacation: [Keep an Eye on Your Husband]

The girls at the scene were actually quite similar to Xiang Di in nature; their boldness in thought matched their timidity in person. They could say anything, no matter how outrageous, online, but once offline, facing their "husbands," they all became shy little cakes, hesitant to make many requests for interaction.

Xiang Di was the first person to ask the cosplayer if she could hug her. The scene was noisy, and the cosplayer didn't hear her clearly. She simply picked Xiang Di up horizontally, which startled Xiang Di herself.

Screams erupted from the audience. The cosplayer had clearly received systematic training beforehand, as she carefully adjusted Xiang Di's skirt when she picked her up to prevent her from exposing herself.

Even though she kept telling herself that this was Qianqian's "husband" and that she was there to stand in for him, Xiang Di's heart still pounded several times the moment she was picked up.

Despite the huge size difference, the cosplayer picked her up with ease. Xiang Di was spun around in the air, and amidst screams, she was completely stunned, even forgetting to film the first-person perspective video that Qianqian had told her to film.

To the others in the audience, it goes without saying how well-matched they were: a beautiful, petite girl and a handsome cosplayer. The girl's shy yet shocked expression, which caused her to turn her head away and bury it against the cosplayer's chest, brought smiles to the faces of the others.

When she was put down, she was still in a daze and stumbled. The cosplayer instinctively caught her, preventing her from falling flat on her backside.

The cosplayer smiled and patted her head affectionately, signaling her to stand carefully.

Xiang Di's heart skipped a beat, even though she had never played this game before and knew nothing about the game character.

After Xiang Di stepped off the stage, a girl behind her in line also asked the cosplayer for a princess carry. Once one person started being bold, everyone else followed suit.

Seeing everyone so bold, Xiang Di's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She had taken advantage of Qian Qian's presence, allowing her, who didn't play games, to experience the wonderful feeling of being pampered by her "husband".

Xiang Di couldn't help but smile, and skipped away from the interactive area full of girls, heading to the restroom to find Qianqian.

Suddenly, his path was blocked, and Xiang Di's smile froze on his face.

Ye Minjia crossed her arms and looked at her with amusement.

"Xiang Di, you're pretty good at this, you know how to have fun."

Xiang Di had no time to pay attention to his teasing; she just stared blankly at the other person in front of her, her boyfriend Bai Jiangxin.

Bai Jiangxin remained silent, his handsome face cold as he looked down at her quietly. Despite wearing purple contact lenses, his eyes appeared even more unfathomable than their usual black color.

His height and build already gave off a strong sense of intimidation, and with the addition of the prison guard uniform he was wearing, the sense of intimidation was even stronger than usual, making Xiang Di's chest tighten and he didn't even dare to breathe.

She gave a sheepish laugh and asked, "...Why did you two get here?"

Bai Jiangxin retorted calmly, "What? This is your territory, can't I come over?"

Xiang Di felt uneasy after being rebuked, silently pursed her lips, lowered her head, and dared not speak.

Although Ye Minjia enjoyed watching the excitement, a comic convention was definitely not a suitable place for young couples to argue. They could argue however they wanted back at the hotel that night. He looked around and changed the subject: "Why are you alone? Where's Liang Qianqian?"

Xiang Di told him the truth: Qianqian had gone to the bathroom, most likely because the raw marinated seafood she ate last night had upset her stomach.

Ye Minjia: "Huh?! Is she alright?!"

"I don't know, I was just about to go to the restroom to look for her."

"Then hurry up and go! Don't faint in the bathroom."

After saying that, Ye Minjia lifted her leg, intending to follow him to the restroom, but Bai Jiangxin grabbed her arm.

Bai Jiangxin gestured to Xiang Di with his chin, his tone calm: "Go check on her quickly. If there's a problem, we'll take her to the hospital."

The most important thing right now is Liang Qianqian's condition; as for their score, we can settle it later.

-

"Acute gastroenteritis."

After the doctor gave his diagnosis, Liang Qianqian needed to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.

Looking at her friends by the bed, Liang Qianqian felt extremely embarrassed. The comic convention hadn't ended yet, but they had all left the convention center early because of her. Bai Jiangxin and Zhou Linxiao, in particular, hadn't even changed out of their cosplay outfits and were still wearing heavy wigs.

After staying in the hospital for observation overnight, Xiang Di offered to stay at the hospital to accompany her, but she firmly refused and told Xiang Di to go back to the hotel to sleep.

"You're wasting resources! You're staying in a hospital instead of a hotel that costs two thousand yuan a night."

Xiang Di said, "I can't leave you alone in the hospital."

"I'm not a child. I can be alone, and besides, there are nurses in the hospital." Liang Qianqian waved her hand to shoo him away. "Go back to your hotel and sleep."

The two argued for a long time, while several boys watched helplessly from the side. To be honest, if someone had to stay at the hospital, Xiang Di was indeed the most suitable, as it was not convenient for the other girls.

"Hey, stop tearing it!" Ye Minjia said impatiently, "Xiang Di, go back to the hotel. I'm the class monitor, I'll stay."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qianqian and Xiang Di were both stunned, while Bai Jiangxin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wang Sichen, who knew nothing about it, laughed out loud: "Dude, we're already in college, okay? You're still thinking about your status as class monitor."

Ye Minjia smiled and asked in return, "Then why don't you stay?"

Wang Sichen fell silent.

In the end, everyone miraculously reached a consensus, and no one objected to Ye Minjia's decision to stay in the hospital with Liang Qianqian for one night for observation.

As her best friend, Xiang Di naturally couldn't object, so she confidently followed the other boys, giving Qianqian a encouraging look before leaving.

As the group left the ward, Xiang Di and Bai Jiangxin, understanding their best friend's and brother's intentions, were naturally delighted. Zhou Linxiao, however, saw through their intentions but remained silent, adjusting her round-framed sunglasses and smiling meaningfully. Aside from Wang Sichen, that idiot, who knew nothing and was still marveling at Ye Minjia's exemplary conduct as class monitor—remembering her duties and responsibilities even after graduation—the group remained completely oblivious.

Everyone else looked at him as if he were an idiot.

-

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became quiet.

Liang Qianqian pursed her lips, lay down directly on the hospital bed, and prepared to sleep.

Ye Minjia coughed lightly and said, "Call me if you need anything."

Liang Qianqian responded sullenly.

The two people who are usually the most argumentative and bickering with others have become mute at this moment. One pretends to be asleep, and the other sits on the edge of the bed looking at his phone. They don't exchange a single word.

When Liang Qianqian finally wanted to let out the gas, she glanced at Ye Minjia, gritted her teeth, and, feeling too embarrassed to let out the gas in front of him, forced herself to sit up from the bed.

Ye Minjia immediately put down her phone: "Where are you going?"

Liang Qianqian glanced at him awkwardly: "The toilet."

Ye Minjia paused for a moment, then said, "Uh, then you go ahead."

Liang Qianqian hummed in agreement and prepared to get out of bed, but her legs were so weak from the strain that she almost fell.

Ye Minjia quickly helped her up, worried about her going to the toilet alone, but it wasn't convenient for him to accompany her.

The two stood awkwardly by the bed until the kind aunt in the next bed spoke up: "Handsome, your girlfriend's legs are too weak to move, why don't you go to the toilet with her?"

This made the atmosphere even stranger. Ye Minjia immediately explained to the aunt that she wasn't his girlfriend, just a friend.

The aunt slowly uttered an "oh," it was unclear whether she believed it or not.

Even though they were just friends, Ye Minjia still escorted Liang Qianqian to the restroom entrance.

There was some distance between the toilet door and the toilet seat. For some reason, Ye Minjia suddenly asked her, "Do you need me to help you sit on the toilet?"

Liang Qianqian's eyes widened, her ears burning, and she immediately refused, "Get lost, I don't need it."

Ye Minjia realized that his words, spoken from the perspective of a simple friend of the opposite sex, had indeed crossed the line, but he was unwilling to admit that because of the aunt's misunderstanding, he had a momentary urge to cross the line.

He sneered and muttered defiantly, "Fine, I don't need it. What's with the fuss?"

Liang Qianqian closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

After she returned from the restroom, the two of them didn't exchange a single word.

Liang Qianqian lay on the bed, feeling frustrated and uneasy.

Knowing full well that letting Ye Minjia stay at the hospital was definitely not a wise choice, even though they were friends, there was a difference between men and women, and there were many things that Ye Minjia couldn't help with, such as when he went to the toilet, she still didn't stop him from staying.

Not only did she not stop him, but she was even secretly delighted when she heard him say he wanted to stay.

Therefore, this awkward situation can only be said to be something she brought upon herself.

Having the boy she has a crush on stay with her at the hospital overnight means tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Liang Qianqian bit her lip, wondering what was wrong with this man. Usually, he would retort with ten sentences for every one sentence she said. Why was he suddenly so silent today, making the atmosphere so awkward?

She cursed Ye Minjia inwardly, but whether it was tacit understanding or he could read her mind, Ye Minjia surprisingly spoke up: "Hey, I heard you have an electronic husband?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qianqian suddenly regained her strength.

She sat up in bed, took out her phone, opened a game, and showed Ye Minjia her virtual husband.

Ye Minjia wasn't very interested in this kind of game: "You actually like this type of guy?"

Liang Qianqian: "Is that not allowed?"

Ye Minjia pouted: "Such a twisted personality."

"I just like perverts." Liang Qianqian said in a tone that said, "You don't understand. It's just a game, not reality. If it were real life, I would definitely turn around and run away if I encountered someone like this."

Ye Minjia: "Oh, so what kind of man do you like in real life?"

Liang Qianqian hummed in response and looked up.

Only then did they realize that because they were both sitting on the hospital bed and looking at the same phone, their heads were quite close together.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Minjia's upturned phoenix eyes were so close that Liang Qianqian could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

The question slipped out, and only after it was spoken did I realize what I had said. If I had a clear conscience and was simply asking out of curiosity as a friend, the question wouldn't have been ambiguous.

Ye Minjia was not at peace with himself for losing, and now it was too late for regrets. He could only grit his teeth and wait for Liang Qianqian's answer.

Please, her type shouldn't be too different from your own.

A jumble of emotions swirled in her mind. Liang Qianqian said she didn't know. She turned off the game, put away her phone, and said she wanted to sleep.

Ye Minjia blinked, her heart clenching for a moment, then instantly relaxing, unsure whether she felt relieved or disappointed.

"...Then you go to sleep. Call me if you need anything."

"Um."

Ye Minjia went to the balcony of the ward to get some fresh air. It was the height of summer, and the outdoor wind was sticky and hot. He didn't know what had gotten into him. Instead of using the air conditioner, he came to the balcony to suffer.

He looked down and scratched his hair in frustration. He had mustered up the courage to stay and accompany his family for observation in the hospital today, so why was he still such a coward?

Thankfully, it's just a virtual husband. If he had actually found a real husband, wouldn't he be doomed?

Hopefully, before Liang Qianqian actually gets a husband, he will have enough courage to express his feelings for her as a friend.

...

I almost blurted out that I like guys like you.

Liang Qianqian was still in shock. Luckily, she didn't say anything. Otherwise, if she had been rejected, she would not only have been embarrassed, but she would have lost all her friends.

The phone rang at that moment; it was Xiang Didaoguo calling. Liang Qianqian quickly answered it.

As soon as the call connected, Xiang Di's voice carried a meaningful tone: "I've arrived at the hotel. How are things between you and the class monitor?"

Liang Qianqian feigned ignorance: "What can happen?"

"Don't pretend." Xiang Di chuckled. "The class monitor is staying with you in the hospital. You two are all alone together today."

"A lone man and a lone woman? What nonsense! Do you think everyone else doesn't exist?" Liang Qianqian coughed. "Never mind that. Did you record the interactive video I asked you to record for me today?"

He nodded to the flute.

"No way? You didn't record it?"

“I forgot at the time…” Xiang Di whispered, “Emsorry.”

"Forgot? You can forget that?" Liang Qianqian was both amused and exasperated. "Hey, you kid, you didn't fall for my husband back then, did you?"

"How is that possible!"

"Don't deny it, you were definitely smitten. You were captivated by my husband for a moment, so you forgot to record a video for me, right?" Liang Qianqian joked seriously. "Comrade Xiang Di, I'm warning you, you have a boyfriend."

"Don't talk nonsense! How could I be infatuated with your husband? I have a moral bottom line!"

Xiang Di's tone was excited, and Liang Qianqian secretly chuckled. Just as she was about to tease her a few more times, she suddenly heard her shout from the other end of the phone: "Ahhh, don't go! Qianqian was just joking."

Finally, Xiang Di complained to her, "It's all your fault!" and then hung up the phone.

Liang Qianqian was confused.

I didn't even blame her for forgetting to record the video, so why is she angry?

...

Xiang Di turned on speakerphone, intending to gossip about Qianqian and the class monitor with Bai Jiangxin, but ended up shooting himself in the foot.

She hung up the phone and rushed to pull Bai Jiangxin away.

But Bai Jiangxin insisted on leaving. Seeing that he was about to open the door, Xiang Di had no choice but to pin him against the door.

She braced herself on either side of him, tilted her head back, and said, "Let me explain!"

With a wall slam like that, Bai Jiangxin could have easily shaken her off and stormed out in a second, but he didn't. He gave her a chance, crossed his arms, leaned against the door, and looked down at her calmly: "What's there to explain?"

"The reason I went on stage to interact with the audience is because Qianqian had an upset stomach..."

Bai Jiangxin interrupted her: "Do I need you to explain this? Don't I have eyes?"

Xiang Di nodded, looking at him innocently: "...Then what should I explain?"

Bai Jiangxin curled her lips, amused by her innocent look.

The groundhog had no idea what it had done wrong.

He pointed to his prison guard uniform and said coldly, "First, explain why you made me cosplay this kind of character."

The male protagonist in an R18-rated late-night anime is an outrageously sadistic and perverted individual who enjoys committing all sorts of beastly acts against the female protagonist under the guise of punishment.

She's asking for trouble, daring to trick him into cosplaying such a character.

Xiang Di winked: "Wh-what kind of role?"

The moment she finished speaking, her cheek was pinched.

"Are you still pretending to be stupid?" Bai Jiangxin pinched her face, his tone stern. "Aren't some people usually the best at pretending to be innocent? Aren't you afraid that people won't know you're watching this kind of stuff?"

Xiang Di tried to explain: "...No, this is a very niche product."

"Niche?" Bai Jiangxin gritted his teeth slightly. "Do you know how many people asked me for a photo today?"

"Huh? A lot of people ask you to collect stamps?" Xiang Di's eyes widened. "Are there so many Minions in the anime/manga world?"

Bai Jiangxin said with exasperation, "You have the nerve to criticize others? You're the worst one."

"..."

"I was wrong. I really didn't expect so many people had seen it. I just thought the character's clothes were pretty cool, so I wanted you to cosplay it for me. I really didn't mean to make you die. You can believe me."

Bai Jiangxin gave her a cold look, not wanting to pay any attention to her at all, and planned to go back to her room to calm down and quell her social anxiety.

"Get out of the way."

Xiang Di firmly blocked the door, refusing to let him leave.

"I'll let you go if you tell me you're not angry with me anymore."

Bai Jiangxin scoffed, "I'm not angry? You're dreaming."

"Then you're not leaving!"

After a brief standoff, Bai Jiangxin warned, "I'll count to three, are you going to move or not?"

Xiang Di: "One, two, three! I won't let you pass."

Bai Jiangxin smiled and nodded: "Okay, you won't allow it, right?"

"No way!"

Before she could finish speaking, the person in front of her suddenly bent down, grabbed her by the waist, easily lifted her up with one hand, and carried her into the room, throwing her onto the bed.

Xiang Di felt a moment of unease, but it was quickly replaced by a rapid heartbeat.

No way, no way, no way! This isn't going to lead to...

However, she was clearly overthinking things. Bai Jiangxin simply threw her onto the bed, tapped her on the head, told her to behave, or he would tie her up, and then turned to leave.

Some people are just dressed as sadists; in reality, they are still the righteous, aloof beauties who, even if they are badly betrayed by their girlfriends, say harsh words but still can't bring themselves to actually do anything to their girlfriends.

At this moment, Xiang Di's feelings of guilt reached their peak.

She's absolutely despicable. He's such a decent person, and she actually tricked him into cosplaying that kind of pervert just to satisfy her own fetish, causing him to be surrounded by people at the anime convention today.

No. Xiang Di got out of bed and chased after him barefoot.

Bai Jiangxin felt a throbbing in his temples as someone hugged him from behind.

He was angry about what happened today, but he would only verbally criticize her and wouldn't actually do anything to her.

He couldn't very well lift up her skirt and slap her on the bottom; he wasn't into that.

However, he didn't hold it against her for tricking him today, but she herself clung to him and asked for a beating.

Bai Jiangxin, suppressing his anger, asked, "...What exactly do you want?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never do it again." Xiang Di sincerely admitted his mistake, "As long as you are not angry with me, you can kill me or do whatever you want with me."

Bai Jiangxin remained silent.

She only dared to say such things because she was sure he wouldn't really do anything to her.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiang Di knew that this matter couldn't be resolved with just a few words, so she quickly used all her charm, hugging him, apologizing, and rubbing against him.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Looking down at the head rubbing against his chest, Bai Jiangxin looked at her with a complicated expression. The anger in his eyes gradually dissipated and was replaced by a feeling of being both amused and helpless.

But he didn't want to easily say that he wasn't angry anymore, giving her the impression that he was easy to coax, so he deliberately pushed her a few more times to make her let go of him.

The more he said that, the less Xiang Di was willing to let go.

She wanted the two of them to sit down and talk things over, and Bai Jiangxin reluctantly agreed, being pulled to sit on the sofa.

"Don't be angry, okay? I promise it won't happen again."

Bai Jiangxin glanced at her and turned his head away.

Xiang Di turned his face back and kissed one of his cheeks.

Bai Jiangxin's Adam's apple bobbed, but he managed to keep a cold expression thanks to his strong willpower, telling her to stop trying that.

Only after she kissed every feature of his face, her soft lips brushing against him like feathers, did Bai Jiangxin finally lose his composure and say, "Stop kissing me, my face is covered in powder."

"I don't mind at all!" Xiang Di said. "You know what? You look really handsome today, so handsome that I..."

She suddenly stopped.

Bai Jiangxin raised an eyebrow: "What's so handsome about you?"

He made a sound to the flute.

Bai Jiangxin, supporting himself on his knees, prepared to get up: "If you're not going to say anything, I'm leaving."

"Don't go, don't go."

Xiang Di quickly stopped him, gritted her teeth, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words.

Xiang Di was very embarrassed, but in order to appease him, she held back and said it.

Bai Jiangxin was stunned.

I knew she had a lot of wild and inappropriate thoughts in her head, but I never expected her to actually say them out loud now.

She was the one who said those dirty words, so what's she trying to do by putting on this shy expression now?

But one has to admit that he's very susceptible to this kind of thing, and he can't resist the contrast between Xiang Di and other characters.

Bai Jiangxin's eyes darkened, and he asked her, "Didn't you just say that as long as I don't get angry, I can kill you or torture you as I please?"

Xiang Di winked and nodded: "Yes."

"real?"

"Really?"

Anyway, he couldn't possibly actually kill her.

Bai Jiangxin calmly curled her lips: "Fine, don't regret it."

Xiang Di: "I will never regret it!"

...

After the sweet punishment began, Xiang Di regretted it after being spanked several times.

Bai Jiangxin asked her, panting, "Why were you blushing when that cosplayer on stage picked you up and spun you around today?"

Are you tempted?

Xiang Di's survival instinct was extremely strong: "I'm not tempted! I'm not tempted!"

I'm definitely a little tempted; I can't wait to download the game and give it a try...

Bai Jiangxin narrowed his eyes, his tone ambiguous: "You still dare to lie."

Xiang Di was taken aback.

He almost forgot, he had just been drinking her water with his head down, and now he could hear her thoughts again.

Xiang Di was extremely annoyed. She had thought he was just being considerate, but it turned out he was only trying to hear her true feelings.

Xiang Di could only sob and defend herself, saying that she was just a two-dimensional character.

“Even paper cutouts won’t work,” Bai Jiangxin said.

“Listen, you were the one who provoked me first.” He stared at her and said, “This is the last time. If you ever dare to have feelings for someone else again, I really will kill you.”

Regardless of what kind of "killing" he meant, Xiang Di felt that he was about to be killed, and instinctively said okay, okay.

Having received the promise, Bai Jiangxin finally relaxed his brow, pressed down on her waist, and gave her a quick and painless finish.

That evening, Liang Qianqian received a message on her phone from Bai Jiangxin.

My best friend's boyfriend rarely sends her a message, but today he surprisingly did, sending her only a random, nonsensical message.

Keep a close eye on your husband.

Liang Qianqian: ?

————————

It's here! That concludes the summer bonus chapter. Let me briefly explain about Qianqian and the class monitor. They had a crush on each other for several years, until it was finally revealed at Meibao and 837's wedding. As for what happened after that, you'll have to wait for my next inspiration!

Little Reader is fortunate to have secured a publishing contract. The published version and the online version will definitely differ. If you're looking for the original experience, please stick to the online version. Later, when I write supplementary chapters for the published version, I'll include content that's inconvenient to include in the physical book as bonus chapters here. So please don't unfollow! -v-

Thank you all for your company throughout the summer. Here are two hundred red envelopes. There are many fresh pre-orders in the column, such as "Am I committing a crime by flirting with eight men at the same time? No, I'm just making you envious." There are also stories like "Hate Sea Love Sky Brother and Sister Literature," "The Academic Genius Male and Female Protagonists Transmigrate into a Sakura Manga to Transform the Original Male and Female Protagonists Who Only Have Love in Their Minds and No Studying," and "Your Wife is Pretty Good, I Want Her." And so on and so forth.

I'll use one of the clips as an advertisement; feel free to save it if you're interested. See you later!

Shoujo Manga, Stand Up Straight!

Chen Huili transmigrated into a cherry blossom aristocratic schoolgirl manga.

The students here are judged on appearance, whose parents are more powerful, whose luxury goods are more expensive, and whose romantic relationships are more frequent, but they are not judged on their studies.

Eri, who was a top student for eighteen years under the exam-oriented education system: Hello, is there anyone here who can read a book?

*

Fortunately, as a villainous supporting character, she was number one in terms of family background and beauty. At school, everyone except the dead male lead had to respectfully call her Miss, so she lived a pretty comfortable life.

However, the environment at Sakura Noble School was so unpleasant that it was hard to concentrate on studying. Just as she was about to give up, the newly appointed student council president swiftly issued a series of new school rules.

Boys are not allowed to have long hair, girls are not allowed to get manicures, it is strictly forbidden to alter the style of school uniforms without permission, it is strictly forbidden to bring any items unrelated to studying to school, and most importantly—early romantic relationships are strictly prohibited.

The aloof student council president calmly concluded, "As high school students, your primary task right now is to study."

Early romance? I've never heard such a bizarre term before. The girls all regretted that if they had known the new president was such an old-fashioned person, they shouldn't have voted for him just because he was handsome.

Only Miss Eri's eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at the new student council president who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I recognized you by your eyes; we're both people who've been steeped in the Chinese education system.

When fellow villagers meet, tears well up in their eyes. Ignoring her excitement, the young lady rushed through the crowd and, in front of the entire school, gave the student council president a bear hug, bursting into tears.

The president looked down at the aggrieved young lady in his arms, then glanced at the male lead beside him who looked displeased, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Is this scene in the comic?
