After Being Bent by Reader

Chapter 61: Pt.1



Chapter 61: Pt.1

Because she had been busy going on dates recently, Xu Chuanchuan had thoroughly forgotten about her previous promise to start her new book. So she dared not log into Weibo, and neither did she dare check her reader group.

Xu Chuanchuan would be lying if she said she didn't feel guilty, but writing novels was a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and brain-intensive task. How could it be more enjoyable than going on dates?

Whenever Xu Chuanchuan saw her PC covered in dust, she couldn't help but feel like a sinner. However, these feelings would disappear without a trace whenever she met with Murong Shi.

Love truly did blind people.

This was, after all, Xu Chuanchuan's first time falling in love and dating someone. She was both ignorant and full of expectations, so she couldn't help but indulge in the wonderful experience. She could even constantly hear her heart shouting at her, "Abandon all unnecessary thoughts and just enjoy it!"

Hence, Xu Chuanchuan became even more indulgent.

During the day, Xu Chuanchuan would work diligently at the company. When night arrived, she would secretly go on dates with Murong Shi. Her days were both fulfilling and sweet.

The only problem was that Murong Shi would occasionally ask, "Should I find a house for us to move into together?"

Xu Chuanchuan was initially against the idea. However, as time went by, Murong Shi's tempting words started to get to her, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

Xu Chuanchuan still hadn't provided Murong Shi with a clear answer. After returning from her date, she opened up her QQ and looked for Ange.

Xu Chuanchuan: "Are you busy?"

Ange: "?!? The missing person finally returned?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "Don't say that. [Shy]"

Ange: "I'm free right now. What do you want?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "Must I have a problem to find you? Of course, it is because I miss you."

Ange: "Save it. That vixen has long since lured your soul away. It won't be long before you forget about me completely."

Xu Chuanchuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she read Ange's lamenting words. Then, she replied: "How can I forget you... Also, can you change your wording? Vixen sounds terrible."

Ange: "Oh? You're already protecting her even before marriage. [Light a cigarette]"

Xu Chuanchuan: "o()o"

Ange: "What is it? Out with it."

The two of them were very familiar with each other now, so Xu Chuanchuan went straight to the point and said: "She keeps wanting for us to live together recently. She also brought it up again tonight. I'm not sure whether to agree or not."

Ange: "Someone's in a hurry. Also, does this mean you two haven't done it yet?"

Isn't this too straightforward?!

Fortunately, they were separated by the internet, so Ange couldn't see her reddened face. Pretending to be calm, Xu Chuanchuan replied: "We nearly did it at one pointbut we managed to hold back eventually. The reason why I'm against living together is mainly because of this problem. When I think of having to do that with her I'm a little scared."

Ange: "What are you afraid of? Does she have some unique fetish? Are you afraid she'll whip you and drip candle wax on you?"

Xu Chuanchuan: "............You sure know a lot."

As to whether Murong Shi had that kind of fetishhow would I know that?!

Ange: "There are plenty of AVs with such heavy tastes. I saved quite a few on my computer. Should I send some to you for reference?"

"I don't want them! Save them for yourself!" Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly replied. Then, she quickly dragged the conversation back to the original topic and asked: "What do you think I should do?"

In response, Ange did a serious analysis and said: "She's definitely not seeking cohabitation purely for the sake of doing so. It's evident she wants to have sex with you. This is a simple problem. If you want to have sex with her, just agree to her offer. If not, then push it back to a further date."

Have sex with Murong Shi? This was a problem Xu Chuanchuan dared not ponder, though she already had an answer in her heart.

The next day, Xu Chuanchuan told Murong Shi the decision she came to last night. "Let's hold back on the matter of living together for now."

Although Murong Shi was slightly disappointed when she heard the answer, she didn't force the issue. Instead, she rubbed Xu Chuanchuan's head and said, "Take your time considering, then."

Murong Shi wasn't a gentle person. On the contrary, she could even be very domineering sometimes. Because of this reason, Xu Chuanchuan found herself easily moved whenever Murong Shi inadvertently revealed her gentle side to her.

Xu Chuanchuan nearly caved when she heard Murong Shi's considerate words. However, when she recalled the conversation she had with Ange last night, she pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you trying to live together with me because"

"Because what?"

Xu Chuanchuan lowered her gaze. Then, she said in an embarrassed tone, "Because you want to have sex with me?"

Murong Shi was momentarily stunned. After that, though, she quickly broke into a smile as she asked, "Do I look that thirsty in your eyes?"

This was an awkward question. But since it was a question, it required an answer.

When Xu Chuanchuan carefully recalled the night where Murong Shi had aggressively pushed her onto the bed, she blinked her eyes and said, "Yes."

Murong Shi: "..."

Xu Chuanchuan: "..."

Murong Shi let out a long sigh. Then, she gently caressed Xu Chuanchuan's face with her icy fingers and narrowed her eyes before saying, "Have I spoiled you too much recently?"

According to Xu Chuanchuan's past experiences, whenever Murong Shi revealed such an expression, it indicated that she was close to getting angry already.

Xu Chuanchuan grabbed Murong Shi's hand in a panic and shrank back her neck. Then, putting on a fawning smile, she said, "There's no deeper meaning to my words. I just"

Before Xu Chuanchuan could finish her words, the sound of her phone ringing interrupted her. When she picked up her phone, she found that it was her mother calling her.

Murong Shi inadvertently saw the words displayed on the phone. After relaxing her expression, she said, "Answer it first."

Mother Xu would rarely take the initiative to call. The last time Xu Chuanchuan received a call from her mother was because of Xu Xiangxiang, and she couldn't help but wonder what her mother was calling for today. After answering the call, she greeted, "Mom?"

"Chuanchuan, something happened to your father!"

Xu Chuanchuan's head buzzed, her complexion instantly turning white. Then, in a mechanical tone, she asked, "What happened?"

In a sobbing voice, Mother Xu said, "Your father got into a fight with someone and got injured."

Xu Chuanchuan was caught off guard by this unexpected bad news. After gulping down the saliva in her mouth, she anxiously asked, "Is it serious?"

"I don't know. He got hit in the head, and he's bleeding a lot. We are on our way to the hospital right now," Mother Xu said, breaking into tears.

Xu Chuanchuan's heart instantly fell into disarray when she heard her mother crying. "Don't panic, don't panic. I'll head back immediately," Xu Chuanchuan said in an attempt to placate both her mother and herself.

After Xu Chuanchuan ended the call and put down the phone, Murong Shi immediately grabbed her wrist and asked, "What happened?"

With a pale complexion, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly said, "My dad got into an accident. Can I apply for leave? I need to head back right away."

It was against company protocols for Xu Chuanchuan to apply for leave through Murong Shi since Murong Shi wasn't her direct superior. However, Xu Chuanchuan didn't have any time to ponder on this matter. Like a headless fly, she turned around to leave without waiting for Murong Shi's answer.

However, Murong Shi quickly dragged Xu Chuanchuan back and said, "I'll go with you."

"Y-You're going with me?" Shaking her head, Xu Chuanchuan said, "No need. You have a lot of work in the company. It'll be enough if I go alone"

However, Murong Shi maintained a tight hold on Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she said in a commanding tone, "I might be of some help."

You're not a doctor, so how can you help? Xu Chuanchuan thought. However, Xu Chuanchuan felt her heart being soothed a little because of Murong Shi's words. Only, she still couldn't help but ask, "What will happen to the company if you're not here?"

"My uncle is here, so it'll be fine," Murong Shi said.

Xu Chuanchuan found herself convinced after just a few words.

Xu Chuanchuan acknowledged that she was weak-willed. She didn't wish to waste Murong Shi's time, but she also knew that having Murong Shi accompany her during this critical period would soothe her greatly.

Before Xu Chuanchuan even had time to pack her luggage, Murong Shi had already stuffed her into the car and drove to Xian City at the speed limit.

On the way, Xu Chuanchuan contacted Mother Xu to ask about the situation. When she heard that Father Xu was already undergoing surgery, she breathed out a long sigh of relief.

Then, Mother Xu stammered as she tried to explain what had happened, "The house upstairs had their bathroom break down some time ago, and it's been leaking water into our house ever since. I've talked to the people living upstairs about it, and they say they'll get it fixed right away. However, it's still leaking even after a week has gone by. The leak has ruined the walls of our bathroom and your and Xiangxiang's bedroom. I wasn't at home today, and your father went upstairs to discuss the problem this afternoon. I don't know what happened, but they ended up in a fight."

Mother Xu didn't get to see the situation in person. When she returned home, she only saw her husband sitting in the house with blood covering his face and her father-in-law standing guard beside her husband and nearly fainting from anger.

Xu Chuanchuan only knew that her father had been injured in the head. She didn't know exactly how severe of a fight had taken place. She also dared not imagine it. After placing down her phone with a heavy heart, she experienced genuine fear for the first time.

If something happened to her father

Meanwhile, Murong Shi was dutifully doing her job as a driver. Whenever the car stopped at a traffic light, Murong Shi would also hold onto Xu Chuanchuan's hand and console her, saying, "Don't jump to conclusions yet. Save it for after you see your father in person."

Because of Xu Chuanchuan's anxiety, tears started flowing out of her eyes without warning. After secretly wiping away her tears, she said in a choked voice, "Thank you."

Although Xu Chuanchuan had moved quickly, Murong Shi still caught sight of the shorter woman's tears, and she felt as if something had stung her heart.

Then, Murong Shi released the steering wheel and reached out to hug Xu Chuanchuan. After giving the latter a soft kiss, she said, "Everything will be alright. Don't be afraid."
