I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 33.1

Lin Yi was utterly infuriated. What was the point of talking to a blockhead like Shi Xingrao?

But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Lin Shuangran only had to pretend to be fragile and act distressed, and Shi Xingrao would rush over to fuss over her. How could Shi Xingrao be a blockhead?

She clearly knew how to care for and comfort people.

It was just that the person she cared for wasn’t Lin Yi.

Though reluctant, Lin Yi had to admit that Lin Shuangran held a truly special place in Shi Xingrao’s heart. Shi Xingrao devoted all her attentiveness and meticulousness to Lin Shuangran, terrified that she might suffer even the slightest grievance.

Loving someone probably looked exactly like Shi Xingrao dividing the world into only two types of people: the one she loved and everyone else. No amount of clinginess was ever too much when it came to the person she loved.

Even in her anger, Lin Yi couldn’t help but wish for Shi Xingrao to love her too.

Lin Shuangran felt that even if Lin Yi wasn’t sick, Shi Xingrao’s behavior would be enough to make her ill. She hesitated over whether to ask Shi Xingrao to comfort Lin Yi, but after a moment’s thought, she quietly dismissed the idea.

It was best not to give Lin Yi any hope. She had no desire to share Shi Xingrao with anyone else someday.

She was selfish too. She didn’t want to share her little sun with anyone else. She only wanted Shi Xingrao to cling to her side, calling her “sister” over and over again, repeatedly declaring her love, and indulging in passionate intimacy with her.

Lin Yi returned to her office alone, burying herself in paperwork and meetings all day without stepping out once.

Shi Xingrao held a cup of hot water and sat at the water bar with a clear view of Lin Yi’s office. “Duoduo, do you think Lin Yi’s actually gone? Is her headache really that bad?”

“I haven’t seen her come out all day.”

Cat Ears: “…”

Dealing with someone as clueless as Shi Xingrao was enough to give anyone a headache.

“Should we call an ambulance?”

Cat Ears: “I don’t think that’s necessary.”

If Shi Xingrao called an ambulance for Lin Yi, it would probably be the final straw that pushed her over the edge.

Moreover, its intuition told it that Lin Yi was currently seething with resentment. It would be best for Shi Xingrao to keep her distance. Cat Ears had sneaked a glance at Lin Yi earlier, and the thoughts swirling in her mind tsk, were indescribable, already envisioning a thousand ways to enact a forced love scenario.

Although forced love was exactly what Cat Ears enjoyed and wanted to see, the plot had finally progressed to this point, and it didn’t want to see everything fall apart with the female lead turning dark.

Just as Cat Ears was about to advise Shi Xingrao to avoid Lin Yi until Lu Ze was dealt with, Shi Xingrao poured a cup of hot water and pushed open the door to Lin Yi’s office.

Cat Ears: “!!!”

Shi Xingrao placed the cup of plain hot water on Lin Yi’s desk, her tone tinged with uncertainty. “Does it really hurt that much?”

The white porcelain cup clinked against the desk, ripples spreading from the center and gently lapping against the sides before settling. Wisps of steam rose slowly. For some reason, Lin Yi’s pent-up frustration dissipated at this seemingly indifferent question.

Lin Yi didn’t look up. After a long pause, she finally uttered a single word from her lips: “Yes.”

“Oh,” Shi Xingrao replied. “Then you should go to the hospital.”

After everything Shi Xingrao had just said, Lin Yi found herself surprisingly accepting of the response.

The fact that this person had even brought her a cup of hot water could already be considered an act of conscience.

“By the way, the Lin Corporation is hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow. You and Lin Shuangran should come it’s a celebration party.”

Lin Yi’s tone carried a hint of exhaustion.

Shi Xingrao blinked her eyes. Honestly, she had never seen Lin Yi so dejected before. Lin Yi was always arrogant and sharp-tongued, never missing a chance to provoke others. Seeing her like this felt somewhat novel to Shi Xingrao, who stared intently at Lin Yi as if observing a sick snow leopard. Snow leopards usually strut elegantly through the snow, tails swaying gracefully. Seeing one unwell made Shi Xingrao want to reach out and stroke its snow-white tail.

Sensing Shi Xingrao’s hesitation, Lin Yi couldn’t take it anymore. “My dear ancestor, please don’t say anything shocking.”

She hadn’t had a moment’s rest these past few days, and now Shi Xingrao was twisting the knife.

Shi Xingrao’s lips curved into a smile as she recalled Yu Chen once calling her “ancestor” too. That time, Yu Chen had also tried to outsmart her, but in the end, just like Lin Yi, she couldn’t outmaneuver Shi Xingrao.

When someone’s down, you strike that’s just how it is.

“Well, I’m off work now. I’m going to play games with my sister.”

Lin Yi couldn’t muster a smile. She had never met anyone like Shi Xingrao, who always knew exactly how to hit where it hurt.

Lin Yi said, “Wait for me. Let’s leave together.”

Shi Xingrao replied, “Why would I wait for you? My sister and I are going home to play games.”

Lin Yi countered, “I can give you exclusive gear official custom sets, only one of a kind. They’re couple-exclusive, super rare. You can’t even buy them with real money. Want them?”

The idea of unique couple-exclusive gear struck a chord with Shi Xingrao. “Well, alright then, let’s go.”

The three of them registered accounts, completed the beginner village tasks, and Shi Xingrao immediately dragged Lin Shuangran off to a specific location.

Both Shi Xingrao and Lin Shuangran had modeled their in-game avatars after their real faces, and the two of them often held hands while playing.

Lin Yi couldn’t stand watching and averted her gaze. Sometimes she really thought the game’s interaction mechanics didn’t need to be this detailed.

They passed through the Matchmaking Grove, where peach blossoms bloomed vibrantly in the game world. Every tree was adorned with red ribbons bearing wishes for love, fluttering like crimson waves in the wind as petals drifted down.

One of the ribbons fluttered down, and Shi Xingrao caught it. The ink on it was still fresh, the elegant handwriting visible through the fabric. Shi Xingrao didn’t read the words, simply retying the ribbon to the tree someone else’s wish for love.

Lin Yi’s tone was slightly awkward. “Aren’t you going to read what it says?”

Shi Xingrao replied, “Why would I need to?”

She had already found her other half. She didn’t need fate to grant her love.

The Matchmaking Grove was designed for players who wanted to find a partner in the game but were too shy to approach others. Players could write their preferences on a ribbon and tie it to a tree. The system would then match them based on certain priorities.

If a ribbon fell into a player’s hands and wasn’t returned, it meant both parties were interested in matching and could try getting to know each other.

Lin Shuangran walked beside Shi Xingrao, a gentle smile gracing her lovely face. It was clear she enjoyed spending time like this with Shi Xingrao holding hands, chatting, and simply being with the person she loved. Everything felt joyful when they were together.

Shi Xingrao looked up and saw Lin Shuangran gazing down at her with soft, tender eyes.

Shi Xingrao blinked lightly, unable to suppress the thought: Has sister been watching me all along?

A few flower petals had landed on Lin Shuangran’s hair. Just as Shi Xingrao was about to brush them off, Lin Yi reached out and did it first.

Lin Yi snorted coldly and continued walking ahead. “Aren’t we leaving yet? Are you planning to settle down here?”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

If only she hadn’t brought Lin Yi along just because of his equipment.

The wind continued to blow, rustling the red silk ribbon that Shi Xingrao had just tied back onto the branch. For a moment, the character “Rao” was revealed, before the ribbon disintegrated into crimson fragments.

Before the Stone of Fate stood two girls dressed in red robes, adorned with intricate golden cloud patterns. Their long, dark hair was tied up, intertwined with red silk ribbons. Their locks seemed to embrace each other naturally, as if no artificial binding was needed a testament to their unwavering love.
