Forced to Act out a Strange Script with a Rival - Chapter 130

“Fine, let’s go together.”

Returning to the real world, Si Xiaoxiao felt as if a lifetime had passed. This stay in the system dungeon had been her longest yet—a full month.

As before, while they were within the system-controlled space, time in the real world remained frozen. Consequently, the two of them remained stuck at the exact moment of their mutually hurtful argument.

Both were teary-eyed, the lingering awkwardness of their fight still hanging in the air. Si Xiaoxiao looked up, about to glance at Li Ting, when she was suddenly pulled into a heavy, warm embrace.

In that hug, all animosity dissolved into nothingness.

Li Ting’s scalding tears fell heavily against Si Xiaoxiao’s neck. She was clearly struggling to contain her emotions. “Actually… you’re a bit wicked, aren’t you, Xiaoxiao?”

Feeling a bit guilty, Si Xiaoxiao played dumb. “Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Forcing me to experience the feeling of losing you… forcing me into that kind of madness.” Li Ting held her even tighter.

“That was Li Ting No. 2, not you.” Si Xiaoxiao wasn’t about to admit to her own mischief. In her previous confrontations with Li Ting, she had always been at a disadvantage. Li Ting’s constant air of calm, unhurried composure had always flicked a nerve.

So, she had decided to play a prank. Even though there were safer, gentler ways to conquer the Little Saint, Si Xiaoxiao had insisted on choosing the “death escape” route. It was truly a devious move.

The experiences and emotions belonging to the Little Saint had now merged with Li Ting. The system certainly had a knack for “curing” psychological fragmentation; by playing the sub-personality once, Li Ting had finally accepted herself and acknowledged every part of her being.

Li Ting replied, “You know perfectly well… they are all me.”

“Then are you still going to be jealous of yourself? You big baby?” Si Xiaoxiao recalled back at the Linglong Pavilion, how the adult Li Ting—under the guise of being jealous of Xiaoxiao’s closeness with the younger version—had claimed quite a lot of “repayment” from her body.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had been a prisoner then, forced to plead in a low voice… Hmph!

However! That wasn’t the real world; it was just a system script! Essentially, she hadn’t actually lost! She was in peak condition now! This time, she would definitely take it all back!

Si Xiaoxiao invoked her “Ah Q” spirit once again. In her world, there were only small wins, medium wins, and total landslides. Losing was simply not an option!

Regarding the jealousy, Miss Li Ting had her own perspective: “Wasn’t that a bit of flirting that you enjoyed quite a bit?”

“Who’s flirting with you!” The tsundere kitten’s first instinct was, of course, to deny it.

Li Ting knew her well and asked provocatively, “Hmm… the system rewarded me with a few things. For instance… a ‘doppelganger’ ability…”

Si Xiaoxiao pushed Li Ting away in a fit of shy rage, hitting her with a sofa cushion. She huffed, “Four hands is absolutely NOT okay!!”

Li Ting followed the momentum of the cushion and leaned back, falling onto the sofa. Her black hair spread out, radiating an indescribable allure. She struck a “green tea” pose and teased, “Hmm, I didn’t say I was going to use them on myself…”

Si Xiaoxiao froze, momentarily dazed by Li Ting’s charm. Then, her cheeks turned bright red as she burst out, “Li Ting! Are you really that thirsty?!”

Li Ting, however, didn’t have a thin skin like Xiaoxiao. She was the ultimate hunter, an expert at coaxing innocent kittens. Her expression became incredibly vivid; in front of her lover, she had naturally mastered the art of seduction. She admitted it quite decisively: “That’s right, I’m very thirsty for you~”

How could “Great King” Si Xiaoxiao endure this? She lunged forward to straddle Li Ting’s waist, looking extremely smug. She grumbled, “Hmph! Then surrender and be my ‘0’ for the rest of your life!”

After making her bold declaration, Si Xiaoxiao kissed her. Even though they hadn’t truly been apart, the passion of a long-awaited reunion ignited both their bodies and souls.

But as the kiss deepened, Si Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like… there was another person kissing her?

Si Xiaoxiao broke the kiss and looked back. There stood another Li Ting, smiling like a blooming flower, pressing against her and coiling around her like a snake, gently kissing her neck.

“AAAAHHH!! Li Ting! What are you doing?!” Si Xiaoxiao was truly terrified and let out a scream.

“Relax, she is also me…” Both Li Tings spoke simultaneously. The Li Ting on the sofa hooked her arms around Si Xiaoxiao’s neck, her eyes soft and captivating.

“Four hands really isn’t okay…” Si Xiaoxiao panicked. Thinking about the situation she was about to face, her voice carried a hint of a sob.

Li Ting loved it when she made those sounds. Both of her versions spoke again: “Don’t worry. No hands. Just mouths.”

“??? No! Two mouths isn’t okay either!!” Si Xiaoxiao had never experienced this kind of “play” before! She was still a pure “child”!!

“But, it takes two mouths to properly serve all of my baby~” Li Ting’s voice was syrupy and sweet, so gentle it felt like one could drown in it.

When Si Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in bed. Li Ting was in the bathroom showering. The sun was already setting in the west. She lay there exhausted, feeling as though she had been thoroughly consumed, drained until not a single drop was left.

Wait, that’s strange. The dungeon ended and in the blink of an eye, I’m already in bed…

Si Xiaoxiao still refused to admit her crushing defeat. Li Ting was too wicked; winning two-against-one was simply cheating!

No! She had to get her revenge. She couldn’t let Li Ting keep being this arrogant!

Thus, she called out to the system: “System! Where are my rewards! Give them to me quickly, I want a rematch with Li Ting!”

The system was ever-responsive. A tiny orb of light floated into the room and replied instantly: “Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Lactation Card, the Tail Card, the ABO Card…”

“Wait… you have quite a lot of weird things in here…” The paper-tiger “good girl” Si Xiaoxiao wore a very complicated expression.

The system replied with immense pride and self-satisfaction: “To ensure our two hosts remain deeply in love, we shall exert unremitting efforts.”

“As expected of an R20 System… you truly never forget your original mission…” Si Xiaoxiao mused. Then, a thought struck her: “Can you give me a little spoiler for the next dungeon?”

Having enjoyed the benefits of choosing the dungeon theme last time, she naturally wanted to do it again. She felt her choice of a Martial Arts world hadn’t been ideal, leaving her at quite a disadvantage in the early stages.

“The next dungeon… there likely won’t be a next one.” Within the system’s cold electronic voice, there was a rare hint of sadness.

“Huh? No more?!” Si Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected this answer. Her feelings were complicated; from the beginning, when she couldn’t wait to unbind from the system, to now… she had to admit that if the system hadn’t forcibly “shipped” them together, she and Li Ting might still be trapped in their youthful grudges, never speaking to each other until the day they died.

“Yes, because the two hosts no longer need the system!” The system’s voice returned to its cheerful tone. “You two were once the regret of countless people; the system came into existence in response to those wishes.”

“Didn’t you say at the start there were nine dungeons?” Si Xiaoxiao asked.

“Because Miss Gong Zhiyuan and Miss You Yilin consumed four script worlds…”

Si Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue in surprise. She had heard Li Ting mention using the system to solve A-Lin’s problems, but she hadn’t realized those two had been entangled across four different worlds.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pair of star-crossed lovers…

“Don’t be sad, Master Host! As long as you call, the system will always be here. Providing some ‘kinky’ gameplay for you two won’t be a problem at all!” the system promised solemnly.

Thinking of the tragic state she was in after being tossed around by two Li Tings just now, Si Xiaoxiao’s lip twitched. She was about to say something when she saw Li Ting emerge from the bathroom. Drying her hair with a towel, Li Ting spoke up: “In that case, let’s try the Lactation Card tonight.”

“!!! Li Ting, you were eavesdropping!!” Si Xiaoxiao shrieked indignantly.

Li Ting spread her hands innocently. “After all, the system belongs to both of us…”

The system seemed to enjoy watching Li Ting bully Si Xiaoxiao and responded immediately: “Understood. The card has been applied to Miss Xiaoxiao.”

“AAAAHHH!! You broken system!” Si Xiaoxiao was beyond frustrated.

The system, tactfully leaving the space to the two lovers, left a final “Wishing you both a pleasant time” before vanishing.

And so, the second Great War commenced.

Director Wen Xiuzhen was deeply puzzled. Why had she been unable to reach her two lead actresses all day? They had clearly replied saying they were willing to participate in the shoot, so why had they both disappeared at the same time?

It wasn’t until evening that Li Ting finally called back in a hurry to ask about the specific schedule for joining the crew.

Wen Xiuzhen told her the details, but there was one more thing she was hesitant to bring up.

Li Ting was, after all, the star who understood human hearts best in the entertainment industry. Just from the tone of the call, she could tell Wen Xiuzhen had something on her mind. She spoke considerately: “Director Wen, if there’s a problem, you can speak freely.”

“It’s like this… I plan to visit my mentor’s house to discuss the follow-up script issues…” Wen Xiuzhen spoke cautiously. She knew there seemed to be a grudge between Li Ting and Director Yan; the two hadn’t been in contact for a long time. But her mentor was a giant in the industry. If the two leads could get some guidance from him, it would be a massive help to the film…

However, she couldn’t quite gauge Li Ting’s attitude. She could only test the waters rather than making a direct arrangement—after all, she didn’t want the female lead she had worked so hard to “trick” into the role to run away.

Unexpectedly, Si Xiaoxiao’s voice came from the other end of the line, lively and bright: “When? Let’s go together!”

Li Ting’s voice followed, much quieter and filled with a strong lack of confidence: “Regarding Mentor… I should still…”

“Since you still call him ‘Mentor,’ you have to go! I even want him to give us his blessing!!!” That was Si Xiaoxiao’s voice again, carrying her usual willful and bossy tone.

Listening to the dialogue between the two, Wen Xiuzhen’s heart pounded like thunder as she began a frantic mental brainstorm.

Blessing? Blessing for what? Is this something I’m allowed to hear?

AAAAHHH! Does my CP really have a ‘thing’ going on?? It wasn’t just Xiaoxiao making one-sided rumors?!!

“Fine, let’s go together.” Finally, it was Li Ting’s compromise.
