I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 44.1
This time, Shen Yishu didn’t want to give the initiative to Shi Xingrao. Shi Xingrao was too cunning. Handing over the initiative would only lead to Shen Yishu being toyed with repeatedly, only for Shi Xingrao to slip away again once she was done.
Shen Yishu’s hand gently brushed past Shi Xingrao’s cheek, finally coming to rest on her neck. Her fingers lightly traced Shi Xingrao’s face as she said, “Shi Xingrao, I don’t like you anymore.”
“I’m quite good at correcting my mistakes. You said I shouldn’t like you, so I changed. Are you satisfied with that?”
Shi Xingrao reached out and placed her hand over Shen Yishu’s, which was still caressing her face. On the surface, she looked a little aggrieved, but inwardly, she found it somewhat amusing. It seemed Shen Yishu was still very angry about what had happened that day.
If she didn’t like her, why was she so angry?
If she didn’t like her, why had she come all this way?
Not a single word Shen Yishu said was believable to her.
“Then what should I do?” Shi Xingrao’s tone was both aggrieved and troubled, as if she were blaming herself for having missed her chance with Shen Yishu, as though she had only just realized her own feelings.
Shen Yishu, who had been firm in her resolve, began to waver. She even started making concessions in her heart. If Shi Xingrao said she liked her, if this time Shi Xingrao were the first to confess her feelings, Shen Yishu could let bygones be bygones. She would pretend that she had never been rejected by Shi Xingrao that night.
Whatever Shi Xingrao wanted, Shen Yishu would be willing to give it to her. Even if Shi Xingrao asked for the entire Shen family, she would hand it over without hesitation.
After all, Shi Xingrao was still young. It was normal for her to be unclear about her own feelings. Shen Yishu was so much older, she should be more tolerant of Shi Xingrao.
As long as Shi Xingrao said she liked her, Shen Yishu wouldn’t hold anything against her.
“If Little Aunt doesn’t like Mianmian anymore, then so be it. After all, Mianmian doesn’t like Little Aunt either. Neither of us has lost out.”
Shen Yishu, who had just managed to calm herself down, was once again infuriated by Shi Xingrao’s words. Shi Xingrao was truly something, deceiving her over and over again, toying with her repeatedly.
Did Shi Xingrao have no heart at all? Had she been treating Shen Yishu as nothing more than a plaything from the very beginning?
Furious, Shen Yishu lifted Shi Xingrao from the desk. The paper airplane bearing Shen Yishu’s name fluttered to the floor with Shi Xingrao’s movement.
As she was thrown onto the bed by Shen Yishu, Shi Xingrao glanced at the carelessly discarded paper airplane before raising her eyes to look at Shen Yishu. Shen Yishu was truly enraged, her usual cool demeanor now carried a distinct displeasure, icy and detached.
“You don’t like me? Neither of us has lost out? Are you overthinking things?”
Pinned to the bed by Shen Yishu, Shi Xingrao still looked at her with a pitiful expression, as if asking what Shen Yishu intended to do. She appeared both wronged and vulnerable, yet also utterly easy to bully.
“But I just don’t like Little Aunt. I like someone else.”
“Even if Little Aunt forces me, I won’t do anything inappropriate with her.”
“Does Little Aunt need me to say that person’s name before she’ll let me go?”
The girl’s beautiful eyes had already misted over with tears, making her already pitiful demeanor appear even more fragile, delicate, and easily plucked.
With every word Shi Xingrao spoke, Shen Yishu’s displeasure grew. Pushed to her limit, Shen Yishu let out a cold laugh. “Xiao Mian, must you provoke me like this? Must you mention someone else in front of me?”
The innocence in Shi Xingrao’s eyes faded considerably, replaced more by anticipation. “Auntie, when have I ever angered you? Don’t you want to know who I like?”
Shi Xingrao clutched Shen Yishu’s clothes, looking up at her as she continued to provoke, “If Auntie wants to know, I can tell you. There’s no need for you to bully me like this.”
Shen Yishu’s gaze was cold as she abruptly tugged down the tie of Shi Xingrao’s bed curtain. The gauze curtain fell, blocking out most of the daylight. As the curtain swayed, one’s heart and mind seemed to drift along with it.
Such a cold face not only cold but beautiful, so beautiful it felt like one was defiling something that shouldn’t be defiled.
It was a bit thrilling. Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yishu again, and at the tie in her hand.
Shi Xingrao’s gaze darkened, a hint of expectation in her eyes. Bondage play? She was up for it. Shen Yishu should hurry and give her the tie.
Before Shi Xingrao could react, Shen Yishu had already bound her hands.
“Wait, why are you tying my hands?!”
“Shen Yishu, let me go.”
“Shen Yishu, what do you mean by this?”
“Look at me do I look like someone who gets topped?” Shi Xingrao was utterly incredulous. Shen Yishu had actually tied her hands. When had she ever been treated like this? She wasn’t a bottom!
Shi Xingrao was so angry she was dazed, especially when Shen Yishu gently bit her neck. “Didn’t you like someone else? Xiao Rao, Auntie is just afraid you’ll run away again… In the end, it’s all the same act. What difference does it make whether you do it or I do it?”
Shi Xingrao: “…”
Wait, since when did Shen Yishu become like this?
She knew Shen Yishu was angry, but couldn’t Shen Yishu just not be angry right now?
Shi Xingrao somewhat regretted provoking Shen Yishu. Shen Yishu truly didn’t play by the rules. When had she ever imagined it would turn out like this? She had wanted to bully Shen Yishu, not be the one bullied!
“Be good, Xiao Rao, I’ll be gentle.”
Shi Xingrao was furious. At first, she deliberately caused trouble, repeatedly calling Shen Yishu “Auntie” to annoy her.
But as things progressed, Shi Xingrao realized she might have misunderstood Shen Yishu. It seemed Shen Yishu actually enjoyed hearing her call her “Auntie.”
Shi Xingrao didn’t dare call Shen Yishu anything recklessly anymore. She bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears, looking at Shen Yishu with a mix of grievance and humiliation.
Seeing Shi Xingrao like this, Shen Yishu was utterly pleased. “Why isn’t Xiao Rao calling me Auntie anymore? Does she not like Auntie now?”
Shi Xingrao buried her face in the blanket, unwilling to look at Shen Yishu, her voice choked with sobs. “When have I ever liked you? How can you be so shameless?”
“I don’t like you. I don’t like you at all, Shen Yishu. I hate you to death.”
Shi Xingrao’s back was almost dazzlingly pale, like a handful of snow. Shen Yishu stared, momentarily entranced. When she came to her senses, afraid Shi Xingrao might be cold, she pulled the blanket over the girl, leaving only her beautiful shoulders and neck exposed.
The pink covered a bit of that snow-white skin, yet it still stirred the heart, an irresistible allure. No matter how stubborn one was, they couldn’t deny they didn’t like it.
Shen Yishu gently kissed that handful of snow, her voice tinged with a resigned helplessness. “Alright, Shi Xingrao, I admit it I like you, very much.”
“Could you please not like anyone else?”
“Just like me, okay?”
Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but let out a soft, slightly hoarse hum. She didn’t like Shen Yishu she was always the one making others cry, but today, it was Shen Yishu who made her cry. Did she have no pride left?
Shi Xingrao wanted to kick Shen Yishu but was stopped as Shen Yishu grabbed her ankle. With a light laugh, Shen Yishu said, “Actually, you do like me a little, don’t you?”
Buried under the blanket, Shi Xingrao muttered, “I’m not a bottom. We’re not compatible.”
Shen Yishu found it amusing. The girl had only said they weren’t compatible, not that she didn’t like her. Since she hadn’t denied liking her, that probably meant there was still a little affection there.
“You seem quite suited to being a pillow princess.”
“Weren’t you comfortable just now?”
Shi Xingrao buried herself even deeper, her ears turning completely red. Shen Yishu restrained herself and gently kissed Shi Xingrao’s ear, only to hear her protest, “You’re the one suited to being a pillow princess.”
Shen Yishu smiled indulgently. “Alright, whatever you say.”
For the first time in half a month, Shen Yishu felt a sense of calm well, not exactly calm, but a tranquility with ripples, a steadiness compared to the emotional highs and lows she’d experienced. Yet she cherished these emotional fluctuations because, at the very least, Shi Xingrao wasn’t indifferent to her.
Every move Shi Xingrao made, every word she spoke, brought Shen Yishu joy and an irresistible pull. It felt as though something inside her was being continuously filled, like a spring bubbling up with endless affection.
But looking back, Shen Yishu still thought Shi Xingrao was a little liar, deliberately provoking her with words. There were simpler ways to resolve things, easier ways to express feelings, yet Shi Xingrao refused to use them, preferring instead to see Shen Yishu flustered and annoyed.
How had she ended up with such a deceptive yet unforgettable rose?
The next morning, Shi Xingrao woke up still dazed. She couldn’t believe she’d been turned around like that. Couldn’t Shen Yishu have just let her have her way?
Being on the receiving end left Shi Xingrao in a sour mood. Feeling the ache in her waist, she no longer felt like scheming against Shen Yishu. Her only thought now was to give Shen Yishu the cold shoulder. Even if Shen Yishu tried to tempt her with delicious food, she wouldn’t give in.
Cat Ears circled around Shi Xingrao curiously. “Sis Rao, why are you lying down?”
“That’s not right. Weren’t you always so happy before? I thought you really enjoyed it.”
“Host, why are your eyes a bit swollen?”
“Did Shen Yishu pinch you yesterday? Did she make you cry?”
“Hmm…” Cat Ears hovered for a moment before a sudden realization struck, and the entire glowing fluff ball bristled in shock. “Sis, sis, did you become a bottom for love?”
Shi Xingrao: “…”
Shi Xingrao let out a cold laugh.
Cat Ears: “?”
Judging by Shi Xingrao’s reaction, that didn’t seem to be the case. Cat Ears suddenly thought of another possibility and covered its mouth in disbelief. No way, no way could it be that Shi Xingrao was forced by Shen Yishu?
No wonder Shen Yishu’s darkening value had vanished overnight. Now it was probably Shi Xingrao’s turn to darken.
A faint smile played on Shi Xingrao’s lips. “Go on, Duoduo, why aren’t you speaking? Weren’t you so talkative just now?”
It was the first time Mao Erduo had seen Shi Xingrao smile so gently, but now she didn’t dare say a word, afraid of provoking Shi Xingrao if she did.
“Get up and have breakfast?” Shen Yishu knew she had upset the other person, so her tone softened considerably, adopting a patient, coaxing demeanor.
“I won’t eat anything you make,” Shi Xingrao grumbled, turning her head away and refusing to look at Shen Yishu.
