Synopsis: The next installment covers “Bound to Two Children with My Ex‑Husband”.
Warning: Due to strict review, this piece has heavily altered settings leading to illogical interaction...
Chapter 2, the official first release, should we...?
When Yu Xiao pushed open the bedroom door, Ling Yue was not wearing the suit he wore at the banquet during the day; he had changed into a set of black pajamas.
Because Yu Xiao and Ling Yue had made an agreement beforehand, Ling Yue could enter any unlocked room in the house and use everything at will.
As expected, the omega didn't stand on ceremony. He was sitting cross-legged by the power strip in the corner, plugged in an electric cord, and was cooking something on an induction cooker and in a small pot.
A sweet, refreshing plant fragrance filled the room.
Only the bedside lamp was on in the room. The relatively dim environment made the indicator light of the induction cooker shine even brighter, like flickering firelight. It made Ling Yue look like a black Pomeranian basking in the fire, wagging its tail and showing off its paws.
Yu Xiao suddenly remembered a short video of a puppy warming itself by a fire that she had seen on a video app.
The dog is cute, but Ling Yue is a bad dog who is very good at disguising himself. Apart from Yu Xiao, no one knows Ling Yue's true colors.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Xiao's pleasant voice rang out in the room.
This is Yu Xiao's home. He can come and go as he pleases. As for making a sound suddenly, will it scare the newly arrived puppy?
Just kidding. Would a woman who has slept with countless men in a physical sense be afraid of being killed by her soon-to-be-deceased husband, whom she already considers dead?
As for Ling Yue's flustered and panicked appearance, turning around hastily, it was definitely an act.
Yu Xiao thought indifferently that the bad dog must be hiding something from him, and scaring him would be a small punishment to teach him a lesson.
Yu Xiao looked down at Ling Yue.
The shadows of people and furniture blended together, lurking in the dimly lit room.
Ling Yue did not get up immediately, but looked up and said, "You're back, Mr. Yu."
Omega's snow-white, slender hands and feet were exposed, but Yu Xiao didn't even glance at them.
“Look, jujubes. Boiling them in water and drinking the water can help with hangovers.” Ling Yue quietly gritted his teeth, took out a self-sealing bag of crescent-shaped dried fruit from his pajama pocket, and pointed to the induction cooker, “It’s already been boiled once, and it’s still on the induction cooker to keep it warm.”
Yu Xiao half-squatted down beside Ling Yue, nodded to indicate she understood, weighed the resealable bag in her hand, and then placed it on the coffee table. "For me?"
"Yes, yes! There were a lot of guests at the banquet today, and you haven't come up since you got home. I was a little worried that you were drunk..."
Ling Yue was good at reading people's expressions and didn't continue speaking.
He was clever; in a moment he deduced the most likely possibility. "Mr. Yu, shall we do it now?"
...
Before Yu Xiao was reborn, nothing inappropriate for children happened on her wedding night.
Yu Xiao wasn't held back by the system. When she went upstairs, she saw Ling Yue coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, his hair still wet.
Upon seeing Yu Xiao, he immediately became so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Yu Xiao wasn't going to push her prey too hard. "If you don't want to, you don't have to do it today."
"We can start by building a relationship."
Betas aren't some lustful creatures driven by their lower bodies.
"Is it okay if we just sleep together tonight?"
Although it was phrased as a question, as Yu Xiao had expected, Ling Yue agreed.
When discussing a deal, it's easier to achieve the goal by first fulfilling one of the other party's requests and then making a new request.
Yu Xiao was woken up in the middle of the night.
He has always been a light sleeper, a secret known to almost no one, and this is not Ling Yue's fault.
Yu Xiao opened her eyes.
In the moonlight, a small dog with bright black eyes busied itself, subtly moving Yu Xiao's arm as if Yu Xiao were holding it.
It was completed in no time.
Then Ling Yue lay down in his newly built nest and whispered, "I like you."
Then, as if afraid of being misunderstood, Ling Yue added, "I like Yu Xiao."
Perhaps because he found Yu Xiao sleeping soundly, the omega gradually became bolder.
Ling Yue rubbed his hands together, looking very sly, giving the impression that he was about to do something naughty.
Surprisingly, Ling Yue merely restrainedly pinched the collar of Yu Xiao's pajamas and continued rambling incoherently:
I've liked Yu Xiao for a very, very long time.
"I liked Yu Xiao more when we first met."
"I will continue to like Yu Xiao in the future."
"Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao."
"How come you're really asleep?"
The puppy patted Yu Xiao's chest gently, its tone sounding somewhat disappointed, as if it had never imagined that Yu Xiao might be pretending to be asleep.
Unbeknownst to him, the hunter had already opened his eyes and was staring at the meat on the cutting board in the darkness.
The puppy simply calmed itself down, then nestled its head against Yu Xiao's chest and rubbed against her.
Before long, his breathing became long and steady.
The very well-behaved puppy fell asleep in Yu Xiao's arms.
If we were to use some common terms from popular romance novels to describe it, the thought that suddenly popped into Yu Xiao's morally deficient mind would be—
I would give my life for him.
Then Yu Xiao was ruined by this death flag, because Ling Yue actually dared to kill him and succeeded.
If given a second chance, Yu Xiao wouldn't let that two-faced scoundrel live too comfortably.
The Marriage Law can guarantee that Yu Xiao is legally sunbathing this puppy. The puppy's current state is also very suitable for sunbathing, and new ways to play can be developed.
Yu Xiao locked the table provided by the system to a certain location.
He clicked on the "Fetishes" section, and all he saw was a blank page. It seemed that this omega, who was still a junior in college, had not yet explored the depths of his heart and was a promising talent waiting to be discovered.
"If you're not going to do it, could you please have some water first?"
Ling Yue had already turned off the induction cooker, filtered the water from the kettle, and poured a cup of it separately.
The puppy wagged its tail and presented the treasure, which Yu Xiao accepted.
Yu Xiao had already figured out how cruelly she would deal with Ling Yue later, but until then, it wouldn't hurt to go along with him a little.
The sweet liquid is at the perfect temperature when it enters the mouth.
Yu Xiao recalled that when he first entered the room, the water containing the jujube tree, which was being kept warm, was at 42°C on the display screen at the bottom of the induction cooker.
The induction cooker with real-time water temperature monitoring function is of good quality, and the 42℃ marking is relatively accurate. It is very palatable; a few drops of water splashed on the lips will only cause a slight stinging sensation.
Although the jujube juice was sweet, Yu Xiao didn't drink it too much. He only took one sip and then stopped. Only then did he notice that Ling Yue's gaze seemed to be fixed on him.
No, Ling Yue wasn't looking at him.
Because Ling Yue was tilting his head slightly, the destination of his gaze was... the slightly open collar of his shirt, and the faintly visible ( ).
So Yu Xiao generously took off her entire top and threw it aside, asking, "Do I look good?"
Ling Yue nodded, looking more like a Pomeranian now; if it had a tail, it would probably be spinning like a top.
"Oh." Yu Xiao's gaze fell on the buttons of Ling Yue's pajamas. "Then let me see them too."
Even though Yu Xiao's gaze was separated from ( ) by clothing, Ling Yue felt as if he had been stripped naked by Yu Xiao's indifferent gaze.
It's nothing. Ling Yue kept trying to reassure herself.
He liked Mr. Yu the most, so he didn't mind being stared at.
A moment of silence fell over the room, broken only by the slow rustling of fabric.
Then there was not even the slightest sound, leaving only the two people with different thoughts.
Ling Yue mustered her courage and asked first, "What do you think?"
Yu Xiao replied, "It's smaller than I imagined."
Ling Yue's face immediately turned a kaleidoscope of colors, but he didn't dare to retaliate at all.
Yu Xiao found the puppy's frustrated look extremely amusing and chuckled softly.
This omega, who hasn't fully matured yet and is determined to kill her husband, is surprisingly easily teased.
As for Ling Yue, he took several deep breaths, seemingly having made a great decision, before finally managing to utter the extremely humiliating explanation.
“Mr. Yu, even for male omegas, it won't be very noticeable outside of lactation, but if you like…”
Human sexual desires are all-encompassing. With today's advanced science and technology, it is perfectly normal for people of both genders to undergo cosmetic surgery for their partners.
"No need." Yu Xiao's smile vanished in an instant, her voice turning slightly cold. "The younger one is fine too."
He does indeed prefer small ones, because small ones can be temporarily enlarged by fanning or using external force, while large ones cannot be shrunk at will.
Ling Yue, who was being observed, lowered his head and punched his bare chest with his fist. "That's really great."
Yu Xiao looked at the system screen and saw that Ling Yue's data did not show any abnormal fluctuations, so there was no major problem.
Pets can have wild thoughts and make random noises, and kind owners won't rush to investigate.
Yu Xiao suddenly grabbed Ling Yue's hands.
Ling Yue's body trembled, but he didn't seem to resist much. Besides that, there seemed to be some secret anticipation.
"We'll talk about the treatment later, you drink it."
Yu Xiao turned the cup around and handed it to Ling Yue.
The puppy tactfully offered its paws to take the water, saying, "But this is for you..."
"I told you to drink it."
Seeing the slight fear on Ling Yue's face, Yu Xiao softened her voice and said gently:
"Let me see how you drink water, okay?"
"I love you so much, I want to see you every moment."
It's just a confession devoid of love; it's very easy.
Nothing inappropriate for children happened.
Yu Xiao watched with amusement as Ling Yue obeyed orders, taking small sips of hot water into his mouth and swallowing it.
The puppy's tongue cannot tolerate water that is too hot, and even a little bit of water splashed on Ling Yue's face would burn him and make him cry out in pain.
The water was very hot, and Ling Yue swallowed with great pain, but Yu Xiao knew he would be alright.
The healthy temperature for human drinking water is below 50°C, while the healthy temperature for human skin contact is below 44°C.
Hot water at only 42°C will not cause injury.
"Bad guy."
The pampered omega, who had suffered injustice, muttered under his breath, his carefully constructed facade of composure and good manners crumbling.
I'm not particularly afraid of breaking through their defenses.
Finally, he held the cup with both hands and returned it to Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao patted the puppy's soft cheek to express encouragement, "Good boy."
The praise was given to Ling Yue, who had successfully killed him in his previous life and escaped legal punishment.
As for whether Ling Yue can kill Yu Xiao again after Yu Xiao's rebirth, or whether he can be taught a lesson by Yu Xiao, that depends on their own abilities.
Before that, Ling Yue had been fulfilling his responsibilities well, obediently watching Master Yu cook.
Ling Yue sounds quite pitiful, but Yu Xiao doesn't pity Ling Yue at all.
This is a despicable dog who dares to spend his money to support others after his death; he doesn't deserve any sympathy.
Although the above content did not occur in the original plot, Yu Xiao didn't care.
The omega begging for mercy and crying, the omega confessing his love in the dead of night, the omega tearing off his virtuous wife mask and killing his husband... their figures overlapped in Yu Xiao's eyes.
The agony of losing control of her body when she was on the verge of death almost took over Yu Xiao's body again.
Thus, the little compassion that Yu Xiao possessed vanished without a trace, and her heart hardened like iron...
You're only left with psychological trauma, but I've lost my life.
Yu Xiao's expression remained unchanged.
Ling Yue's expression was blank, or rather, dazed.
He was bullied so badly that he didn't know whether to feel ashamed or angry.
The way things unfolded overloaded the dog's brain.
Yu Xiao lowered her head and kissed the puppy, who dared not bark anymore. She wiped away the physiological tears from Ling Yue's eyes with her lips; the tears were filled with pain, yet tasted especially delicious.
"Yueyue looks so pretty now, what a good child."
"How did you know... ah!!!"
Yu Xiao's neatly trimmed nails were as exquisite as seashells.
With only my little finger gripping the vicious dog's sternum, I could feel its pounding heartbeat up close.
The prey's most vulnerable spot was firmly secured with nails, so no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape.
And the wildly beating heart, as if it were about to detach from its flesh and blood at any moment, restless and unwilling to be imprisoned, was still beating in Yu Xiao's palm.
1, 2, 3...60.
Yu Xiao began counting down.
1, 2, 3...161.
This is the number of times Ling Yue's heart beats within 60 seconds.

A note from the author:
----------------------
Although 42℃ hot water won't hurt anyone, good children shouldn't pour hot water on others, nor should they pour cold water on them. Little Fish is a bad child; don't follow his example.
Regarding whether a person can count two sets of data simultaneously, Baidu says that highly intelligent people/mentally ill people/mental arithmetic masters might be able to do it, and coincidentally, Xiaoyu's character is a super intelligent mentally ill person.
My initial intention was to write a story of forced love from the protagonist's perspective. The seme (dominant partner) is intelligent and emotionally intelligent throughout, meticulously planning everything, so the uke (submissive partner) has no way to escape and can only gradually succumb to it.
Every plot point has to give way to romance. The author is just an ordinary bystander who enjoys cheesy romance novels, so I feel sorry for them.
