I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 17

Half an hour later, Cat Ear was finally released. In the past, hosts who harmed characters in the minor worlds almost always ended up punished to the point of mental disorientation.

Cat Ear had once guided a host who violated the rules like that. That host was so traumatized that she couldn’t recover for half a month, plagued by nightmares every night and waking up in tears. It was also Cat Ear’s first mission failure.

The punishment from the Quick Transmigration Bureau wasn’t physical but rather forced individuals to confront their most primal, innate fears, amplifying the terror buried deep within their hearts to an infinite degree.

As soon as Cat Ear regained its permissions, it anxiously transformed into a ball of light, eager to check on Shi Xingrao. To its surprise, Shi Xingrao merely glanced at it and lazily remarked, “Duoduo, why did it take you so long to get here?”

Her tone was relaxed and unhurried, as if she had just woken up from a nap.

Cat Ear: “?”

Had Shi Xingrao not been punished? But that didn’t make sense the main system, which stayed by the side of the Main God, had clearly arrived. Otherwise, Cat Ear wouldn’t have been blocked.

Cat Ear: “Host, what happened? Did the main system not come?”

“It did.”

Cat Ear considered another possibility. “Rao , is there anything in this world that you’re afraid of?”

The alternative explanation was that the main system had indeed come, the punishment had been administered, but Shi Xingrao simply had no fears.

If that were the case, Cat Ear didn’t even know how to evaluate Shi Xingrao, a bug that couldn’t be restrained by the Quick Transmigration World at all?

Shi Xingrao pinched Cat Ear’s fluffy appendage. “Your sister here is just that amazing, afraid of nothing. Duoduo, do you still dare to mess with me in the future?”

Cat Ear: “I never dared to mess with you in the first place.”

With Shi Xingrao’s vindictive nature, who would dare provoke her?

Shi Xingrao: “Has Sister returned yet?”

Cat Ear: “She came back before the main system arrived. But you were asleep, so she just straightened your blanket and left.”

Shi Xingrao rubbed her temples. “I’ll go find Sister.”

Shi Xingrao found Lin Shuangran in the living room, where she and Lin Yi were casually discussing something. Lin Shuangran was the first to notice Shi Xingrao coming downstairs.

“Rao Rao, weren’t you sleeping? What are you doing down here?”

A faint smile tugged at Shi Xingrao’s lips. “I missed you, Sister.”

“I woke up and wanted to see you right away, so I came looking.”

Lin Yi peeled an orange, watching his sister’s ears turn slightly red with amusement. He then glanced at Shi Xingrao. Her words sounded innocent enough, but the woman carried herself with an air of effortless confidence.

A little fox pretending to be a lamb.

Shi Xingrao: “Sister, can you spend some time with me too?”

The word “too” was particularly telling. Lin Shuangran was momentarily taken aback, but seeing the girl’s displeased gaze directed at Lin Yi, even she could figure out who Shi Xingrao’s “too” was aimed at.

Lin Shuangran found it somewhat amusing. Shi Xingrao’s petty jealousy wasn’t annoying; instead, it made her want to indulge the girl a little more.

Lin Shuangran reached out and patted Shi Xingrao’s head. “Why are you so childish?”

“Fine, fine, who’s trying to steal your sister from you?” Lin Yi watched the two of them, picked up his bag, and walked over to Shi Xingrao and Lin Shuangran.

Lin Yi suddenly decided to be mischievous. “Lin Shuangran is my sister. I can see her whenever I want. I’ll let you have her today. I’ve grown up with her and spent so much time together I’m honestly sick of it.”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

Even though she knew Lin Yi was deliberately trying to provoke her, Shi Xingrao still took the bait. She wrapped her arms around Lin Shuangran’s waist from behind, burying her face in the crook of Lin Shuangran’s neck and nuzzling gently. “Sister is mine.”

The possessiveness in Shi Xingrao’s tone was so intense that it sent a sharp tremor through Lin Shuangran’s heart.

Lin Yi found it amusing and wanted to tease Shi Xingrao a bit more, but Lin Shuangran stopped her. “Sis, stop teasing Raorao. Why bother arguing with her?”

Lin Yi: “…”

Well, this sister of hers she might as well have raised her for Shi Xingrao. Her loyalty was so skewed it was like she’d washed herself clean and served herself up to this little fox.

“Yours, she’s yours, alright?” Lin Yi shot Shi Xingrao a glance.

“I guess I should be under your bed then.” Lin Shuangran had never heard such bold words before. Her long lashes fluttered downward, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

“Sister is shy you can’t be under the bed.” Shi Xingrao lazily lifted her eyelids, exuding a fearless, languid charm that was indescribably alluring.

Lin Yi: “…”

Little fox.

She couldn’t be under the bed, but she could already foresee just how badly this little fox would end up bullying Lin Shuangran.

Shi Xingrao: “What’s that expression on your face, Miss Lin? I would never bully Sister. And how do you know Sister wouldn’t enjoy me bullying her?”

Lin Yi: “…”

I can’t compete with this level of boldness, really, I can’t. I should just leave.

Shi Xingrao was truly too unrestrained with her words. Lin Shuangran averted her gaze, too embarrassed to look at her, her fair cheeks tinged with a lovely shade of pink.

Being held like this, Lin Shuangran spoke awkwardly, “Raorao, you can let go now.”

Shi Xingrao didn’t listen. Instead, her eyes reddened as she continued to nestle against Lin Shuangran’s neck. “No, I want to hold Sister.”

Her voice was muffled and choked, not like the whiny, jealous tone she used when competing for attention before. It sounded genuinely pitiful, like a little abandoned animal lost and helpless.

“Alright, you can hold me.” Lin Shuangran softened her tone and placed her hand over Shi Xingrao’s. “What’s wrong, Raorao? Did Lin Yu bully you?”

The only person Lin Shuangran could think of who could upset Shi Xingrao this much was Lin Yu. Back when she was still with the Lin family, Lin Yu had grown worse with each passing year. At the thought, a cold glint flashed in Lin Shuangran’s eyes.

Pressing against Lin Shuangran’s back, Shi Xingrao shook her head. “I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that Sister didn’t want me anymore.”

Lin Shuangran had repeated her past mistakes, and she was powerless to stop it.

She could only watch helplessly as Lin Shuangran got into a car accident. She wanted to shield her, but warm blood splattered across her face.

Outside, snow was falling. Lin Shuangran’s eyes were desolate, devoid of life. Shi Xingrao wanted to hold her, but she couldn’t reach her, nor could she mend a heart that had already turned cold and still.

She saw Lin Shuangran shatter before her eyes, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t piece her back together.

Cat Ears was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood. So Shi Xingrao wasn’t exempt from punishment, nor was she without fear, it was just that she had been holding back and hadn’t shown it in front of it.

In truth, it really believed that before experiencing this world, Shi Xingrao had no fears whatsoever. The old Shi Xingrao was unrestrained and flamboyant, never placing anyone in her heart, never having any weaknesses.

But now, Shi Xingrao had placed Lin Shuangran in her heart. Lin Shuangran had become her weakness.

Shi Xingrao’s act just now had truly convinced it that she was genuinely malfunctioning.

Cat Ears curled up into a ball in the system space, opened Shi Xingrao’s data, and saw that the performance rating, previously an F, had now changed to a D.

Cat Ears: “…”

How wonderful. Shi Xingrao’s first improvement in acting skills was actually used to deceive Cat Ears. And here it had thought Shi Xingrao was truly fine.

That damn liar Shi Xingrao, it was no wonder her acting was so poor. It didn’t even dare imagine how much worse it would be if this woman’s acting skills were any better. She’d probably con it out of its last pair of underwear, lying so effortlessly without a second thought.
