Chapter 42 Yue Yiyue: Watching the Show

An eerie silence fell over the room after those words were spoken.

Gu Nanqiu and Ye Qiu's expressions both turned somewhat strange.

This scene was strangely funny.

Yue Yiyue casually picked up the strawberries from Gu Nanqiu's plate.

With one bite, the delicate and soft flesh, along with the sweet and sour juice, bursts in your mouth.

Gu Nanqiu stared intently at those opening and closing lips.

Look at her pearly white teeth, her bright red tongue intertwined with the fruit pulp.

At that moment, Gu Nanqiu inexplicably felt that Yue Yiyue was eating her flesh and chewing her bones.

I'm so excited!

How much did Yi Yue learn? What will she do?

Those little tentacles that became somewhat uncontrollable upon seeing Yi Yue were also part of her being.

I have reminded them countless times in private that the time is not yet right.

But there are other "tentacles" in the room for various reasons.

Since they all belong to her, they naturally won't be detected by the rules and thrown out.

It's all Yue Yiyue's fault.

As her memories continued to fill in, she couldn't control herself every time she saw Yue Yiyue.

Even in the dead of night, when Yiyue was fast asleep, she would carefully savor the taste of Yiyue.

Those inferior tentacles, which could only operate according to her thoughts, were even more uncontrollable.

Ultimately, it's all Yue Yiyue's fault.

Gu Nanqiu considered herself a very magnanimous monster, and she wouldn't hold a grudge against Yue Yiyue over this matter.

The thrill of excitement made Gu Nanqiu almost lose control of herself.

I really want to see that look in Yue Yiyue's eyes again.

Whether it's love or hate, when you suddenly see only yourself, that's truly...

Ye Qiu silently condoned Gu Nanqiu's actions, after all, she knew it was impossible.

Those who make the rules will always be bound by the rules themselves.

A sudden knock on the door broke the silence in the private room.

The waitress, wearing a red bow tie, gold-rimmed glasses, a perfectly pressed shirt, impeccably tailored suit trousers, and gleaming leather shoes, gave a strange yet unusually sincere smile: "Ms. Gu, thank you for waiting. Here's a special cake for you. Please enjoy."

She smiled and placed the cake on the table, then put a box on the table as well: "This is a gift from the store manager to you, Ms. Gu. Please don't let our store manager's kindness go to waste. He just wants to make friends with you."

Seeing that Gu Nanqiu did not object, she placed the things on the table and left.

Before leaving, she gave Yue Yiyue a meaningful look and said, "Enjoy your meal."

The sudden interruption did not break the silence in the private room.

Ye Qiu, whose mind was racing, couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer. She glanced at Gu Nanqiu beside her, resisted the urge to kick her, shooed away the messy things, and casually cut a piece of the snow-white cake on the plate.

The silver knife fell into the cake, and the red liquid gushed out instantly, accompanied by a sizzling sound from the knife.

Ye Qiu frowned, looking at the knife in his hand.

Such a sound was particularly jarring in the quiet private room.

All three of them focused their attention on the cake.

The red liquid tried to rush towards Yue Yiyue, but realizing it was being watched by something large, it silently retreated back into the cake.

Gu Nanqiu was the first to react. She looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Wow, sister, you have such unique tastes. You like this kind of corrosive cake. You must have an iron stomach."

...

The two didn't seem to have a very good relationship, which is why someone as smart as Gu Nanqiu said something so adorable.

The appearance of this thing stirred up Yue Yiyue's memories.

She sighed, stood up, and first made sure that Ye Qiu's body was not stained with anything red.

He then added, "Nanqiu, be careful. That waiter is probably suspicious."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and gestured for Gu Nanqiu and Ye Qiu to leave. At this moment, Yue Yiyue had already prepared for the worst.

For example, what if someone downstairs also received the same cake? Or what if there are countless deaths and injuries downstairs?

Yue Yiyue stared at the bright red liquid on the table, which looked like a monster lurking there.

Ye Qiu was lucky; she wasn't splashed by the strange liquid. Her gaze shifted to the box sealed tightly with tape next to the table. In the current situation, this thing couldn't be touched at all, since it might unpack a brand new box-headed monster to dig out its heart.

Yue Yiyue was very familiar with this plot; the monster associated with Box Head was Cake Servant.

The box head can trigger evil, and some people will consume sweets excessively under extreme stress.

At this time, a strange change will occur, and one will constantly repent for their mistakes.

Turned into mud.

This removes the dirt.

What are the rules for cake waiters?

What triggered the cake servant's rules and launched this indiscriminate attack?

Damn it, it's like a fog has rolled into my head again, preventing Yue Yiyue from cheating.

Tsk.

This is her fault. What exactly did she come for, Ye Qiu?

Or is it Gu Nanqiu?

When the call connected, Yue Yiyue snapped out of his daze.

"Yes, it seems like someone is trying to poison this place. They even sent a sealed package. I wonder if it contains the same corrosive substance."

"Yes, that's right, it's this cake shop over here, and it's the busiest time of day right now." Yue Yiyue calmly walked out and saw the scene downstairs. Just as she had expected, there was liquid splattered on the table, a terrified crowd around, trembling men, and children.

Looking down at the chaotic crowd below, startled by the sudden incident, she calmly continued speaking to the police officer: "From what I can see, there are several tables with this cake on them. Some people have been splashed with it, yes, they are injured. How badly are they injured? I'm sorry, I can't see clearly from upstairs."

"Thank you for sending an ambulance. Please hurry, it has to be quick."

————

Downstairs, Gu Nanqiu was dispersing the crowd, keeping them away from the person most severely corrupted, to prevent those red creatures from finding a new host.

Sure enough, once you try to understand the real them, all sorts of messy things happen.

At this moment, she needs to maintain her public image.

Gu Nanqiu gave a friendly smile and told the rest of the people not to touch the cake on the table.

She glanced at Ye Qiu with a mournful look, then looked up at Yue Yiyue, who was standing above her, intently watching her.

Gu Nanqiu gave Yue Yiyue a sweet smile and continued to complete her task.

On the other side, Noaki was checking them for any red creatures.

She looked at the women around her, who were preparing to rescue that person, with some distress. Well, if a few more died, it wouldn't be a problem to meet the KPI ahead of schedule, but they were all kind-hearted people.

A flash of red light appeared at her fingertips, and the man being corroded at the door screamed in agony as the strange red liquid diligently gnawed at his flesh and bones.

The man stumbled and tried to run towards the crowd, but the red liquid corroded his leg, leaving him lying on the ground wailing, "Why me? I was wrong. I'm a virgin. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have cheated on you."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have abused the cat, oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

“I am your nephew, I deserve to die.”

Those around them initially tried to help, but stopped after hearing the man's confession...

————

Yue Yiyue stood at the door waiting for Gu Nanqiu to give her statement, because they would have to go to the hospital again afterward because of this matter.

The psychotherapy session, originally scheduled for November, has been moved up.

The questions Yue Yiyue had asked in the private room were no longer convenient to bring up.

She's now completely preoccupied with what exactly is in that box.

Yue Yiyue squatted on the side of the street, scrolling through his phone messages out of sheer boredom. He patiently replied to all the messages that came to ask about Gu Nanqiu's safety.

The above reports all concern today's incident involving unidentified corrosive substances, while also reminding the public to be aware of safety.

Hearing footsteps, Yue Yiyue looked up and saw Gu Nanqiu and Ye Qiu coming out one after the other.

Ye Qiu was still carrying her bag of fruit. When she saw Yue Yiyue, she waved to him.

He then handed the bag to Gu Nanqiu and whispered something to her.

It seems they have other things to do and are about to leave.

Seeing the two of them standing there, Yue Yiyue realized that Ye Qiu was actually a little taller than Gu Nanqiu.

I never felt this way when I was in school.

She subconsciously typed into the search bar: "[The possibility of growing taller rapidly in two months.]"

Is there still a chance for puberty after age 20?

I always feel like there's something wrong with the people around me. Is it because I'm under too much pressure?

Even though it's only in horror and supernatural novels, murders keep happening around me. Should I go to a Taoist temple to get a protective amulet?

Coming to her senses, Yue Yiyue saw the question she had searched for and gave a cold laugh. Right now, she did need a little psychological counseling.

Ideally, it should be long-term and stable.

She felt that she really needed to vent some things.

When Gu Nanqiu walked to Yue Yiyue's side with the things she was carrying, Ye Qiu had already walked towards a black car not far away. You couldn't tell what brand it was, but you could tell it was very expensive.

The car window rolled down, and Yue Yiyue saw the car owner's appearance. She was a very refined woman, with the same elite style as Ye Qiu.

Even from a distance, Yue Yiyue could smell the fragrance emanating from her. The woman glanced at Yue Yiyue, then looked away.

He smiled at Ye Qiu.

Yue Yiyue inexplicably felt that her eyesight had improved recently; after all, even from such a distance, she could see the teasing in that smile.

Ye Qiu opened the passenger door and leaned over to talk to the person inside.

His silhouette looked exceptionally carefree and casual.

"Is that Ye Qiu's girlfriend?" Yue Yiyue usually doesn't make wild guesses about other people's relationships.

But when she saw the two of them, she blurted out without thinking, "They're such a perfect match."

The next moment she realized her slip of the tongue and covered her mouth, saying, "I'm sorry."

"ah?"

Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand Yue Yiyue's words.

The next second, Gu Nanqiu realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, that's not a girlfriend, Yiyue, you're so wrong."

“Our family is large, and our mother loves children.”

"That's our sister, Yu Man. She has nothing to do with Ye Qiu, do you understand?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with you!" Gu Nanqiu emphasized again, afraid that Yue Yiyue might not have heard her clearly.

"Don't misunderstand, Ye Qiu has always been very virtuous."

"We are almost never alone; we are very devoted to one person."

At the same time, Yue Yiyue looked at the person who was about to sit in the passenger seat not far away, and stiffly closed the door and walked to the back.
