I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 43.1
【Shi Xingrao: Raorao misses Auntie so much.】
After sending the message, Shi Xingrao sprawled on the bed. Well, her main goddess wife was capable of creating “slices” not only that, but the slice in this world was even her aunt. Though they weren’t related by blood, it was clear just how wicked her main goddess wife could be.
She was truly so wicked she just wanted to see her struggle, to watch her torn between morality and betrayal. Ah, no, she didn’t have any morals to speak of. Her wife simply wanted to see her torn between loyalty and betrayal.
How could someone be this wicked!
A wife like this deserved to be teased.
It had been three or four days since Shi Xingrao rejected her. Shen Yishu hadn’t allowed herself a moment’s rest, burying herself in work the entire time.
It seemed that only by keeping herself occupied with relentless, high-intensity work could she avoid recalling the scene where Shi Xingrao had forced her to confess her feelings, only to casually dismiss her with a declaration of disinterest.
She wanted to escape, but reality proved that even her attempts to numb herself with work were largely ineffective.
She still found herself replaying the events of that night over and over remembering Shi Xingrao’s cruelty, her rejection, the moment Shi Xingrao told her to go love someone else.
Each time these memories surfaced, Shen Yishu felt as if she were on the verge of going mad with frustration.
What Shen Yishu hadn’t anticipated, however, was that Shi Xingrao would take the initiative to message her again.
And the content of those messages? That she missed her and wanted her to come.
Shen Yishu tossed her phone onto the desk, watching as message after message popped up. A bitter laugh escaped her lips, her eyes icy as she scanned the screen. She had returned to her usual detached and indifferent state.
【Xiao Rao: Auntie, aren’t you coming to see Raorao?】
【Xiao Rao: Raorao misses Auntie so much.】
【Xiao Rao: Auntie, are you really not coming to see Raorao?】
What kind of game was Shi Xingrao playing now? Was she summoning her just to humiliate her again?
What did Shi Xingrao take her for some kind of on-call lapdog? There was no way she was going to see Shi Xingrao.
Why should she go see her? Did Shi Xingrao really think she was that easy to manipulate?
Half an hour later, Shen Yishu walked out of her office.
“Huh, Director Shen is finally leaving? What’s been up with her lately?”
“The pressure’s been intense. Ever since Miss Shi stopped coming to the company, the atmosphere has reverted to how it was before, only now it’s even more oppressive than it was before she arrived.”
“Did Director Shen get her heart broken? It’s gotten worse recently. She worked until midnight yesterday. I swung by the office to grab a file after clubbing, and she was still in her office.”
“Wait, has Director Shen ever even been in a relationship? Isn’t she perpetually single?”
“Anyway, the company’s been terrifying lately. The atmosphere is so heavy. Even though Director Shen hasn’t been yelling at anyone, I feel like my heart can’t take this oppressive vibe.”
Shi Xingrao stared boredly at her phone. “Where is Shen Yishu right now?”
Cat Ear: “At the airport.”
Honestly, it hadn’t expected Shen Yishu to actually come, especially after how harshly Shi Xingrao had spoken to her that day.
Shi Xingrao blinked her eyes, “Let me think. When Shen Yishu sees my message, she’s probably thinking, ‘Am I a simp? Asking me to come see her, Shi Xingrao must be dreaming.’”
Cat Ear: “…”
So vicious. Shi Xingrao had just told Shen Yishu she didn’t like her, and now she was summoning her over again.
The key point was, Shen Yishu actually came.
Shi Xingrao really understood Shen Yishu’s thought process all too well.
Shi Xingrao: “Are you wondering why I understand Shen Yishu’s thoughts so well?”
Cat Ear: “?”
Cat Ear: “Did the Main God reward you with mind-reading?”
Shi Xingrao let out a cold laugh. What mind-reading? It was just letting her experience what it felt like to say one thing and mean another. Recalling how she herself had been insincere in front of that woman, Shi Xingrao felt like going back in time to make her past self control her impulses.
Shi Xingrao: “What’s so great about mind-reading? Your Main God has rewarded me with plenty of good stuff.”
Cat Ear: “Host, what exactly did you and the Main God talk about?”
Why did Shi Xingrao seem so happy when she first came out of the Main God’s space, but now she sounded so sarcastic?
Shi Xingrao sat by the table, propping her chin on her hand and swinging her legs. “We talked about feelings,” she said, then narrowed her eyes and added in a less-than-pleased tone, “Feelings that went to my head.”
She emphasized the words “went to my head” so heavily that Cat Ear felt its host was being sarcastic.
Wait, what exactly happened between the Main God and Shi Xingrao?
“Shen Yishu probably won’t arrive until tomorrow. Let’s sleep.”
Despite saying she would sleep, Shi Xingrao suddenly sat up in bed at three in the morning. How could someone be so wicked?
Deceitful, how could there be someone so deceitful?
She couldn’t help but wonder if that person only acted this way toward her.
After all, that person played so many games.
Shi Xingrao lowered her head. “Duoduo, have there really been no hosts before who received the reward of visiting the Main God’s space?”
For once, Shi Xingrao sounded a bit dejected, her tone tinged with disappointment. This was the first time Cat Ear had seen her so down.
Cat Ear quickly replied, “Of course not! You’re the only one who got this reward. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been bragging about it everywhere back then.”
Shi Xingrao’s heart still hadn’t settled. “Have any hosts fallen in love with the female lead in a small world before?”
Cat Ear: “Nope, not before you showed up. No one ever fell in love with the female lead.”
Only then did Shi Xingrao feel a little reassured, but she was still furious.
The awful feeling of being deceived lingered, and she couldn’t let it go. Too angry to stay still, Shi Xingrao grabbed her phone and continued sending messages to Shen Yishu.
[Shi Xingrao: Little Auntie, Raorao misses you so much she can’t sleep. What should I do?]
Cat Ear: “6”
So, the Main God made Shi Xingrao angry, and Shi Xingrao took it out on Shen Yishu. This was an operation Cat Ear couldn’t comprehend.
After sending that message, Shi Xingrao seemed to have vented her anger enough to fall asleep, and she slept soundly until dawn.
The next day, as soon as Shen Yishu got off the plane and turned on her phone, she saw the message Shi Xingrao had sent at a little past three in the morning.
Shi Xingrao said she missed her so much she couldn’t sleep.
Shen Yishu felt her heart tingle.
But reason told her this was just another one of Shi Xingrao’s little tricks to mess with her. If she believed Shi Xingrao’s words, she would truly be lacking in judgment and critical thinking.
She had come this time to see exactly what little game Shi Xingrao was playing.
But this time, she wouldn’t just say “I like you” because Shi Xingrao told her to.
No, she didn’t like Shi Xingrao at all anymore.
Even if Shi Xingrao asked, the only answer she’d get was “I don’t like you.”
“Why hasn’t Shen Yishu arrived yet? She’s so slow, I’m practically starving to death.”
Shi Xingrao had woken up but didn’t go to eat, choosing instead to wait here for Shen Yishu. Even Cat Ears couldn’t understand Shi Xingrao’s behavior.
When asked, Shi Xingrao’s response was that she wanted to eat the meal Shen Yishu would make.
Cat Ears: “Rao-jie, is your new persona that of a drama queen?”
Shi Xingrao: “…”
It seemed so she was indeed acting a bit dramatic.
But she just wanted to see how Shen Yishu would react when she acted this way in front of her.
“Why did you call me here?” Shen Yishu pushed the door open, her tone icy. The woman carried the scent of the early morning, a bit cold and slightly damp.
Her white shirt was buttoned all the way to the top, and her jeans hugged a pair of long legs. Her figure was impossibly well-proportioned, and silver-framed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, giving her a cool, restrained aura. Had she come straight from the company?
Shen Yishu seemed even more tsundere than she had imagined.
Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but blink, gazing intently at Shen Yishu. After a moment, she spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Auntie, I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Why did you take so long to get here?”
Cat Ears: “…”
Shen Yishu had come immediately after receiving Shi Xingrao’s message.
The drama queen persona was firmly established this time. Shi Xingrao could genuinely play the role of a drama queen in the future.
Shen Yishu looked at Shi Xingrao, puzzled. What did Shi Xingrao mean by this? Had she completely forgotten about the previous rejections, as if they never happened?
Did Shi Xingrao really think she was the kind of person who would come and go at her beck and call?
Shen Yishu’s face remained cold. “What exactly do you want? Why did you ask me to come here now? If you have something to say, say it directly. I still have work to get back to.”
Shi Xingrao blinked slowly, her every movement full of life. Cupping her face in her hands, she looked up at Shen Yishu and said, “I told you, I missed you.”
Little liar. Shen Yishu wanted to avert her gaze from Shi Xingrao’s deceptive little face, afraid of being bewitched by her again. Yet her heart grew warm and flustered at Shi Xingrao’s words.
Shen Yishu kept telling herself that Shi Xingrao didn’t really miss her she was just toying with her emotions again.
But when Shi Xingrao pouted and complained about being hungry, Shen Yishu’s eyes returned to her. “If you’re hungry, why don’t you go downstairs to eat? Didn’t Aunt Chen make you food?”
Shen Yishu’s tone was still cold, utterly unapproachable.
If Shi Xingrao didn’t know Shen Yishu’s personality, she might have truly believed that Shen Yishu hated her so much so that she never wanted to see her again in this lifetime.
But once you understood Shen Yishu a little.
Once you knew about her stubbornness, her tough exterior, and the fact that you shouldn’t listen to what she said but rather watch what she did, Shi Xingrao found Shen Yishu’s contradictions and her inability to speak her mind somewhat endearing.
For Shen Yishu, love was expressed through actions. Well, words were also a way for Shen Yishu to express love, but at least for now, they were the opposite. When Shen Yishu said she didn’t love someone, it meant she still did. When Shen Yishu said she didn’t care, it meant she still did.
“But Auntie, I want to eat the food you make.”
Shen Yishu cast a cold glance over, a faint, icy smile curling at the corner of her lips. What did Shi Xingrao take her for? Did she really think she had no temper? Calling her all the way over just to cook a meal?
“I’m not cooking. If you don’t eat, then go hungry.”
