Chapter 5 Official First Release "It Was My First Kiss" "You're Lying..."
This wasn't the first time Yu Xiao had opened her portable smart terminal after Zuo Ai, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom.
Both he and Ling Yue were very busy, but fortunately they were both high-energy people and did not feel tired from the high intensity of their lovemaking. Working non-stop was a common occurrence.
This included bathing together, but Yu Xiao recently declined Ling Yue's invitation.
At that moment, Yu Xiao was typing on the keyboard projected on the terminal, only glancing at Ling Yue out of the corner of her eye, as if she didn't notice the puppy's expectant gaze, "If you don't want to attend the meeting, I'll grant your wish right now."
The smart terminal can simultaneously provide multiple software projections. Yu Xiao's finger was placed on one of the projection screens, which was the interface of the 3D modeling software connected to the treatment device via Bluetooth.
Ling Yue immediately took a half step back, and then almost ran into the bathroom that came with the room.
Yu Xiao remained expressionless and continued typing on the smart terminal.
Using work to keep Ling Yue occupied is indeed the best way to get rid of the separation anxiety puppy.
This femme fatale, who will build a vast business empire in the future, is a complete workaholic.
Unlike Ling Yue, who was thinking about meetings even on his wedding night, Yu Xiao had already tamed the unruly kids in the house, and he could now enjoy a short vacation.
Now Yu Xiao is approaching thirty, an age when she should be focusing on health. Moreover, in the future that the system showed Ling Yue, Yu Xiao was bedridden with illness, which led to Ling Yue's sneak attack and killing her.
Illness is Yu Xiao's weakness, so from now on, it is necessary to contact more pharmaceutical experts, and also to prepare for fitness and dietary therapy.
Before long, the edited plan summary and instructions were sent to Yu Xiao's assistant.
As a good boss, in order to allow employees to conserve their energy and better extract their remaining value, Yu Xiao thoughtfully added a sentence at the end:
Please reply to me during your work hours tomorrow morning.
The initial intention was bad, but it protected the already limited sleep time of working people.
After issuing the instructions, Yu Xiao logged out, intending to watch some videos on her phone before bed.
"Awoo awoo~"
The moment the camera opened, a black Pomeranian pounced on it, its pink tongue almost licking the lens; its enthusiasm practically overflowed the screen.
Fortunately, its owner managed to wedge the restless puppy's front legs and pull it back, thus preventing a live-streaming accident.
The Pomeranian, whose freedom had been restricted, kicked its hind legs, but its dissatisfaction vanished in an instant, and it immediately snuggled up to its owner.
The video app has users all over the world, and the most popular post on the homepage at this point is from a foreign streamer who owns many Pomeranians.
There is a time difference between the other side and Yu Xiao's side; it is a sunny daytime.
Besides the pet in the streamer's arms, he was surrounded by many other "cotton candy"-like creatures running around on the grass, some black, some white, some spotted, their tails wagging incessantly, and they would even smile at the camera.
Yu Xiao couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"You really like this blogger?"
It was Ling Yue's voice.
Yu Xiao looked up and saw that the digital clock on the wall pointed to 2:50. Ling Yue was indeed very efficient at taking a shower and changing clothes by himself.
“I was looking at you.” After Yu Xiao finished speaking, she felt like she was eagerly thinking about Ling Yue, so she turned her head and snorted coldly, “I mean, this streamer’s Pomeranian looks a lot like you, so I took a few more glances because I found it interesting.”
Cute in appearance and full of energy, but with equally amazing fighting power, this bad dog can bite you until you cry out in pain if you're not careful.
Comparing a person to a dog is inherently insulting, but this explanation seemed to please Ling Yue. He laughed and tugged at Yu Xiao's pajama sleeve, "So I am Mr. Ling's little dog."
It appears to be an affirmative statement.
Yu Xiao calmly replied, "What do you mean 'dog'? You are my ancestor. In public order and good morals, people should be equal."
He did want to do something bad, but a mysterious force stopped him.
Ling Yue suddenly burst out laughing.
He had changed into work clothes in order to make a good impression on foreign partners at the multinational conference.
Originally, he was just a big kid pretending to be mature, but when he smiled, he seemed to become much cuter.
In her past life, Yu Xiao would probably have been very moved and would have liked her husband even more.
But having died once, Yu Xiao is now as hard as stone.
Although Ling Yue's demeanor is still somewhat immature, as a future business tycoon who will dominate the world, Ling Yue's aura already shows signs of elite status.
While the contrast was still only in Yu Xiaoxing's fantasy, his puppy actually offered itself to him at this moment.
It was tempting, but Yu Xiao would resist the temptation, "I didn't tell you to get lost..."
Ling Yue suddenly pressed himself against Yu Xiao and kissed her. In the end, he pulled out a thin, resilient silver thread.
A minty kiss.
Over the past few hours, Yu Xiao hadn't kissed Ling Yue even once, so the mischievous dog, always fighting and snatching, took matters into its own hands and demanded it.
Yu Xiao thought that his judgment was indeed good. Ling Yue was very much like him, and Yu Xiao loved herself the most, so Yu Xiao loved him too.
Unfortunately, Ling Yue is the protagonist of the world, and in a battle between kings, one of them must die, so Yu Xiao died as cannon fodder.
The thought of dying at Ling Yue's hands in an uninvolved future fueled a nameless anger in Yu Xiao's heart.
He suddenly rolled over and pinned Ling Yue to the bed, taking the lead in tearing and gnawing... as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from Ling Yue's body.
Finally, Ling Yue's lips became engorged with blood, turning an even more vibrant red.
“You’ve used my toothpaste,” Yu Xiao stated the fact.
Ling Yue nodded. "I opened a new toothbrush. I didn't use yours. Mr. Yu Xiao said I could use anything in this house."
Even if I like Mr. Yu a lot, I can't share toothbrushes... Mr. Yu will hate me for it.
“I didn’t secretly take any medicine.” Ling Yue sat down next to Yu Xiao and mimicked Yu Xiao’s earlier abdominal exercises, pulling Yu Xiao’s hand to press on his own stomach. “It’s very well sealed here, so you’ve been preparing for pregnancy properly.”
Then Yu Xiao's hand was pulled upwards.
"I can't wait to raise Mr. Yu's baby! I want to pamper him/her so much, and of course, Mr. Yu is the most important person too~"
.
Finally, Ling Yue pointed to the direction of the digital clock and said, "It's almost 3 o'clock. See you later, sir."
Before leaving, he gently placed Yu Xiao's hands back on the blanket and patted them, thinking he was being sneaky.
After that, Yu Xiao never made a move again.
The digital clock on the wall ticks away second by second until 3 o'clock.
In the pet blogger's live stream, Pomeranian puppies were still howling incessantly.
Yu Xiao touched the side of his neck, recalling the nameless injection that had almost pierced his neck.
Did Ling Yue actually consider trying to conceive naturally?
Yu Xiao thought this was simply a fantasy. Not to mention that career-oriented omegas usually wouldn't be willing to have a vacuum during their growth phase, betas have low ovum activity, making it extremely difficult to win a bid.
Their marriage lasted only two years, but during that time Ling Yue never mentioned trying to conceive or getting pregnant.
Two years of no harvest—either the people involved are at fault, or there's something wrong with them.
Did Ling Yue kill that unwanted little life behind his back? He might even have done it more than once.
Yu Xiao thought about it more and more and it seemed reasonable.
Since Ling Yue could drug himself without hesitation, it would be perfectly in line with his character to kill an embryo that wasn't even a natural human being.
"System, I now understand your good intentions."
This system that suddenly bound itself to Yu Xiao is very strange. It not only lacks the function of dialogue, but it also does not issue any specific tasks.
Yu Xiao even guessed what the other side needed her to do based on the plot of the novels she had read.
The only response I received was the system screen flickering meagerly.
A few hours ago, Yu Xiao experienced the last two years of his life in a flash, but was this because he was awakening, reborn, or was he just simulating an "if" scenario in a simulator?
Yu Xiao didn't know; the system didn't say.
His system, besides being able to monitor Ling Yue without any blind spots, can be described as an artificial intelligence disorder.
"Let me see Ling Yue, System."
Apart from the 3D modeling software, Yu Xiao turned off all the split-screen interfaces that the smart brain had opened and sat up straight with her fingers interlaced.
The electronic screen on which the system was based flickered, and soon a holographic 3D projection of Ling Yue's study room was displayed.
In terms of the system's function, namely monitoring Ling Yue, this artificial intelligence is practically omnipotent.
Sitting in his seat, Ling Yue had a tablet computer and a stylus pen in front of him, with his handwritten notes in regular script. Even the slight sweating he was sweating was clearly recorded.
As for the root cause of Ling Yue's suffering...
Yu Xiao idly scribbled on the panel provided by the system, and Ling Yue was not harmed in the process.
Then he stroked Ling Yue's cheek to comfort him.
Ling Yue, who didn't resort to any underhanded tactics, was very serious. Because of the protagonist's aura, he seemed to have a unique charm. I wish he could always be this well-behaved.
Yu Xiao withdrew her finger after just one touch, and couldn't help but find it amusing. It was just a projection of the system, and there was a considerable distance between them, so how could Ling Yue possibly sense it... Hmm?
Ling Yue actually stopped talking to the client, turned his head slightly, and glanced in the direction where Yu Xiao's hand was reaching.
Naturally, I didn't see anything.
Yu Xiao also noticed.
He found it very interesting and continued to experiment on Ling Yue based on the special points recorded by the system model.
Once the special points recorded by the system are taken care of, Ling Yue's feedback will naturally be different from that of a normal touch.
Soon, the sparse beads of sweat on Ling Yue's forehead turned into the size of soybeans.
Ling Yue endured it all... maintaining her composure while communicating with the foreign clients, which was quite endearing.
Yu Xiao felt that she could temporarily ignore the hatred for Ling Yue's death and love him a little more.
Because Yu Xiao had strived to stand out from her stallion father in her early years, she naturally had considerable expertise in foreign languages and international business.
Like flying a kite, Yu Xiao kept playing with his dog from a distance, sometimes tight and sometimes loose, while automatically converting Ling Yue's conversation with the foreign client into his native language.
"Ling, I am truly grateful for your sincerity. I believe we will have a pleasant working relationship."
"You flatter me, ah—"
"Ling? Ling?"
Ling Yue desperately pressed his hand under the table against his abdomen to prevent himself from letting out a second scream.
He was daydreaming again, a terrible daydream.
I want Mr. Yu... I want my husband...
However, he also had to deal with the clients, so a tug-of-war ensued between his romantic and career-oriented mindset within Ling Yue.
Fortunately, the client was almost finished with what he wanted to say, and he bid farewell to Ling Yue:
"Ling, it's a pleasure doing business with you. The night view of China is beautiful. Have a pleasant evening."
Then the communication was cut off at the speed of light.
As the video and audio finished playing, Ling Yue stood up, looked up, and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go back after I change my clothes."
The silly little omega thought he was just being monitored by a camera.
After reporting his current situation to Yu Xiao, Ling Yue began to change into the suit he had changed into for the meeting. Not far away were the comfortable pajamas that Ling Yue had brought.
Students who are still in the startup phase are not used to wearing prison uniforms.
Yu Xiao thought, there's no need...
Ling Yue lay sprawled among the pile of clothes, increasingly convinced that the treatment device might be able to transmit his condition to the other owner of the villa, or that there was surveillance in the study.
The strange feeling I had earlier was probably my sixth sense that a camera was spying on me... How can being watched not be considered a kind of torture?
He was married, so his body belonged to his husband, and therefore his body would be tortured and abused.
Ling Yue's imagination made him feel good, but besides shame, he felt even more excited.
Mr. Yu is watching me and controlling me, so... he actually likes me a little, doesn't he?
In a daze, Ling Yue saw a pot, with red shrimp being simmered slowly over a low flame until they were thoroughly cooked, their juices plentiful without needing to be squeezed out.
When the pulp is gone, it becomes a clear liquid.
The round-headed robot vacuum cleaner, avoiding the wrathful star on the ground, faithfully cleaned the floor with hot water.
It was silent, a non-intelligent being, yet Lingyue had the illusion that he was being watched.
Ling Yue was only released after the food in the pot had been boiled until it was bloated.
The faithful robot, carrying the clothes that Ling Yue had soiled in the chaos, was already slid towards the washing machine.
Ling Yue belatedly realized that he could only go back to his room in his current state.
...
Seeing Ling Yue hunched over as he entered, Yu Xiao couldn't help but smile knowingly. "When you were alone at home or in the school dormitory, you couldn't possibly always have your clothes on. There were bound to be times when you forgot your clothes and had to run around like this, right?"
"I...I don't know."
Ling Yue actually remembered an experience similar to tonight's, but he didn't know why.
He felt that marriage had really caused him to change drastically. How could he have become so easily embarrassed and at the same time so lewd overnight?
Yu Xiao continued to tease his puppy, "I know, Yueyue feels like this isn't her home, so you're being distant."
Ling Yue: "No!"
Ling Yue suddenly burrowed into the blankets, wrapped his arms around Yu Xiao's neck, and kissed him fiercely.
.
Finally, Ling Yue surrendered first. He pressed his head against Yu Xiao's chest and whispered, "It was my first kiss. I gave myself to you completely. How could I not love you?"
"I consider this place our shared home."
"Someone as outstanding as you, how could you not have dated anyone?" Yu Xiao said casually. "Maybe you're lying to me."
The proud puppy raised its head, as if its tail was pointing to the sky, "They obey me not out of fear of me, but because who is worthy of dating me?"
Yu Xiao quietly watched the proud little dog.
Ling Yue finally remembered the rumors that Yu Xiao had suffered terribly in her early years.
It's strange. Even though I've been bullied by Mr. Yu all along, I unexpectedly feel pity and even sympathy for him.
Mr. Yu has had a tough time too.
"I was wrong...husband." Ling Yue's last words were spoken especially softly, "I shouldn't have shown off in front of my husband."
"In your presence, I will only be your partner, loving you with all my heart."
Goodnight, my love.
Ling Yue seemed to have known all along that the eccentric Yu Xiao wouldn't reply to him easily, so he lowered his voice a few decibels and muttered to himself:
"Goodnight to me too. All the painful things from the past are in the past. With me here, I will become very, very strong, and my husband will definitely be very happy."
Then, quite casually, he bent Yu Xiao's arm into a hugging position and fell asleep like that.
Yu Xiao held the sleeping Ling Yue thoughtfully.
The way things unfolded and the system presented him with a different wedding night than he had imagined, but some things remained unchanged.
Like the bright moon hanging high outside the window, unchanged for decades, Yu Xiao only wants to be a fish hiding in the shadows.
Yu Xiao, who suffers from hypersensitivity, often needs to do strenuous exercise or be in complete darkness to fall asleep.
Ling Yue didn't know what he ate to gain strength, but when he was asleep, he seemed to be pulling Yu Xiao towards the moonlight.
Little by little.
Originally, only Ling Yue's position was under the moonlight, but after being pulled, a little moonlight fell on Yu Xiao's face.
Moonlight has no temperature.
Yu Xiao was surprised to find that he didn't seem to hate being in the light as much as she had imagined.
The moonlight falling on my closed eyelids was more conducive to sleep than the endless darkness of the sealed room.
...
A note from the author:
----------------------
[A short skit unrelated to the main text]
Fish: He killed his husband and son, he was utterly wicked [eye roll]
Dog: I didn't [poor face]
Fish: You have [hug] (not a hug, but a chokehold)
Dog: I will never hurt you and your baby, I love you both the most [cat paw]
The dog in the first world is slightly stronger, so bullying him feels like a reward. So, let's reward him a little more with the fish.
The cause of the scene the fish witnessed before its death at the beginning is somewhat complex; it's both real and unreal. The explanation will be given at the end of the first world. The fact that the baby wasn't present in that worldline simply means it didn't get the desired result. The reason it's not present in the main story is the same.
