What to do if I've locked myself in a book! - Chapter 38

At the same time, Ji Shi sat uneasily at his desk, watching the screen of his laptop.

The display recorded that after Ling Qianqian and Bai Yiyan left the Cheng family villa, she’d moved into Bai Yiyan’s home and had now fallen asleep—the cursor paused there, no longer updating.

Perhaps due to professional sensitivity, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the text describing events after Ling Qianqian left the villa had shifted in style from earlier passages. It was less vivid, more like a dry recitation of facts.

He draped his arms over his head and leaned back in his chair, replaying the bizarre words Silver had spoken to him the previous night in the second-floor office of BLUEBERRY.

His thoughts drifted far away…

—

The night before, when Ji Shi stepped into the second-floor office, he was shocked to find its layout identical to that of Cheng Zhan’s office described in the novel. “Mr. Silver—why did you say you’ve been waiting for me a long time? Do you know why I’m here?”

Alert, he clutched his laptop bag to his chest and looked stiffly at the relaxed man across from him.

“Just call me Silver—it’s not my surname.”

Silver settled into the sofa and continued, “Sit and talk.”

Ji Shi took a seat opposite him, still holding the laptop bag tightly to his chest. The device inside was still warm from running, much like his anxious heart.

“Mr. Ji—what do you think reality is?”

“Reality is just reality—what else could it be?”

“And what do you think illusion is?”

“Something false, a mirage.”

“Let’s stretch our imaginations a little. If an illusion becomes real enough—indistinguishable from what we call reality—does the line between them cease to exist?”

“Ridiculous.”

Ji Shi let out a scornful chuckle. “An illusion can never become reality—it’s determined by its very nature.”

“Then how do you prove you’re in reality right now?”

“I can’t prove it, but at least reality doesn’t have things that defy all reason and logic…” He trailed off, his heart suddenly lurching with unease.

Reality shouldn’t have such irrational, illogical occurrences. Did that mean…

He was stunned. It was precisely because he’d encountered something so abnormal that he’d tracked down this place, seeking answers and hoping to find Ling Qianqian’s whereabouts.

“Reality is merely a persistent, inescapable illusion.”

Silver popped a blueberry from the table into his mouth and spoke calmly, “I didn’t make that up—a famous scientist said it. You’ve probably heard of him.”

“Yes, but…”

“Mr. Ji, many things in this world are contradictory yet coexist. If we judge everything based only on what we’ve learned and know, the world we see will be small and limited. Take the concept of dimensions—they say the fourth dimension is time. If we observe time from a higher dimension and remove its beginning and end, the very idea of death disappears. This applies to everything: when you look at a person’s life from a higher plane, you see countless branches—each choice creates infinite possibilities. When problems arise in one branch, they might spill into others. You think they’re merging, but really, it’s survival of the fittest playing out.”

“Silver—I didn’t come here to listen to these abstract ideas.”

“I know. You’re looking for Ling Qianqian.”

“Can you give me an answer?” Ji Shi pulled out his laptop from his bag, opened it, and turned the screen toward Silver. “This is the novel you commissioned.”

“I already told you the answer—that’s all I can say.” Silver stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door, clearly indicating it was time for Ji Shi to leave. “Mr. Ji—think carefully about why the rain outside just won’t stop.”

“Huh?”

Seeing Ji Shi’s confused expression, Silver opened the door, glanced playfully at the laptop bag in his hand, and curved his lips into a smile. “Mr. Ji—if I were the villain of this world, what you just did would be walking straight into a trap.”

—

“Mmph… no, stop! You bastard!”

“You say no, but your body’s being honest—you’re getting wetter and wetter.”

Slap-slap-slap—

The thrusts against her lower body grew more intense, the loud sounds of their joining echoing through the bedroom.

Four years ago, on her birthday, she’d been in a terrible mood and gone drinking alone at a bar. Someone had chatted her up and slipped something into her drink, which she’d sipped without realizing. Then a man had stepped in to help her, teaching the person who drugged her a lesson.

The drug had made her dizzy and slightly hallucinatory. She’d vaguely seen that the man who’d rescued her had bangs covering his eyes—she hadn’t gotten a clear look at his face.

Now that she thought about it carefully, his facial contours did match this man’s.

But even if it were true that had happened in reality—how could he possibly be in this novel world? Not to mention, this man wasn’t even mentioned in the book at all.

It was far too absurd.

“Why the sudden distracted look? Is it uncomfortable being tied up so long?”

He grinned mischievously as he pulled his cock out, the fierce member scraping against her inner walls, glistening with her juices as it slid out and bobbed upright.

The dark brown shaft was coated in clear, shiny fluid, looking especially lewd in the dim yellow light.

He turned to fetch a pair of scissors, cutting through the silk ropes binding her one by one. With the restraints suddenly gone, she swayed as if losing her balance, but he caught her smoothly and lifted her into his arms.

Faint red marks crisscrossed her fair skin from the ropes, but the hickeys Bai Yiyan had left were even more distinct and striking.

“…Put me down! This is rape!”

“Fine then.”

He smiled as he strode to the bed, loosening his arms to set her down.

As soon as her back sank into the mattress, the man pressed himself on top of her.

His member pressed against her pussy, twitching slightly as it rubbed against her, making her itchy and hot. Above her, his gaze fell on her—those captivating eyes, always partially hidden by long, curly lashes, held no trace of a smile in their deep brown depths, only coldness.

A meaningful smirk played at his lips. Before she could react, his scorching-hard cock aligned with her core and plunged deep inside.

“Mmph!!!”

The sudden stimulation pushed her into a climax, her face flushing bright red and hot.

Without giving her time to catch her breath, he began thrusting his hips, pinning her firmly to the mattress as he watched her intoxicated expression. “You clearly feel good being fucked by me.”

“No… stop… ah…”

Her protests sounded more like inviting teasing, making the massive member pressing against her lower body swell even larger.

Just then, a string of glowing text suddenly appeared before her eyes: 【Don’t do this with him! Run away now!】
