OFCC – Chapter 71

Yi Wulan’s hand on Mu Yanxi’s waist tightened, clearly affected by Mu Yanxi’s words, which she had said countless times before.

Even knowing it was just Mu Yanxi’s nonsense to change the subject, her heart still trembled every time.

Mu Yanxi had been leisurely leaning against Yi Wulan, but when the hand on her waist tightened, the comfortable expression on her face vanished. Her whole body went soft, and she bit her lip hard, her breathing even becoming heavier for a couple of gasps.

Especially since she was wearing a thin, form-fitting qipao. The qipao had been custom-made for her by a private designer, clinging to her body in every curve. When Yi Wulan’s cool fingertips touched her, Mu Yanxi could clearly feel the shape of each of Yi Wulan’s fingers.

And their continuously rising heat.

Perhaps because the dream from before was still fresh in her mind, coupled with the fact that Mu Yanqing and Mu Yanche’s conversation was audible from the other side of the cabinet, a shiver ran through Mu Yanxi, and her cheeks flushed crimson once more.

Yi Wulan finally noticed something was wrong with Mu Yanxi. She slowly leaned in close to Mu Yanxi’s ear and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Her voice was clearly low and gentle, inaudible from any distance.

Yet it was like the heavy bell of a temple, resounding in Mu Yanxi’s ears.

Yi Wulan held Mu Yanxi and studied her for a moment, gradually sensing what was happening. The dim light in the compartment obstructed her vision. She raised a hand to touch Mu Yanxi’s cheek and finally noticed something was amiss. “Is the alcohol still affecting you?”

Mu Yanxi: …

While eavesdropping on the conversation next door, Mu Yanxi took a moment to turn her head and retort irritably, “I’m not drunk.”

Yi Wulan hesitated. “But your face…”

Mu Yanxi had been shy and trying to hide it, but seeing Yi Wulan being so serious, she couldn’t resist a cheeky remark. She leaned close to Yi Wulan’s ear and said smoothly, “What’s the use of me being drunk now? Why don’t we wait until we’re back in our room? I can pretend to be drunk then and let you do whatever you want.”

Yi Wulan: …

These days, Mu Yanxi had been relatively well-behaved with her words. Although she still spoke a lot of nonsense, it was mostly straightforward verbal confessions of affection.

It had been a long time since Yi Wulan had been subjected to Mu Yanxi’s flirtatious remarks. This sudden comment nearly stunned her. When she finally managed to regain her senses, she grabbed the nape of Mu Yanxi’s neck and pulled her out of her embrace. “Do you want me to call out to them?”

Mu Yanxi shrank back, immediately shaking her head like a rattle drum. “No, no.”

Yi Wulan: “Good. Then be quiet.”

Mu Yanxi felt that the current Yi Wulan was getting harder to fool by the day, as if she had grown a host of new wits specifically to deal with her.

Still indignant, she could only grab a lock of Yi Wulan’s hair and chew on it fiercely a couple of times, considering her revenge exacted.

Mu Yanqing and Mu Yanche’s conversation continued. Mu Yanche had initially been playing the family card, but gradually, he steered the topic toward ‘Feicheng’ and ‘new energy’.

Mu Yanxi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She had thought Mu Yanche was looking for some domestic support from Mu Yanqing to continue shining in the entertainment industry.

She hadn’t expected his ambition to be far greater than she imagined, or rather, that Mu Yanche’s system was pushing him to complete the plot quickly.

In the previous life, when Yi Jingming developed the Shuilin Fang project, he hadn’t included any holographic technology like she and Yi Wulan had planned for this life. The project was completed and opened to the public in just six months, earning him his first pot of gold. At the same time, with Rongjia’s entertainment division in hand, he had many artists promote it for him, yielding considerable returns.

With this initial capital, and with Mu Yanche conveniently returning to the country to act as a liaison, the two of them invested in the new energy vehicle project in Feicheng. As new energy vehicle technology matured, its market share in the country grew larger and larger.

In that novel, it was precisely through this project that Yi Jingming and Mu Yanche firmly established themselves. It was also through this project that they deliberately created a loophole to frame Mu Yanxi.

With Mu Yanqing despondent over the loss of her sister, Mu Yanche used his system’s brainwashing ability to take advantage of the situation and gain control of Xinyu. Later, Yi Jingming waited for Yi Wulan’s illness to flare up before seizing control of Rongjia, and the two of them became the ultimate winners.

The sudden silence from the previously flippant Mu Yanxi made Yi Wulan’s expression turn cautious.

After a moment’s thought, Yi Wulan suddenly reached out, pulling Mu Yanxi into her arms to face her, and offered a dry consolation: “He can do it, and so can you.”

Mu Yanxi finally returned from her thoughts. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she rested her head on Yi Wulan’s shoulder with a complicated expression. After a while, she finally spoke, “Oh, well, that might not be necessary. You don’t really have to…”

Yi Wulan pressed down on her head and said seriously, “Even if your sister helps him, as long as the Feicheng partnership isn’t finalized, there’s still a chance to turn things around.”

Her tone was extremely domineering. It suddenly made Mu Yanxi feel that the person before her wasn’t Yi Wulan, but Mu Yanqing, who had spoiled her to the extreme after their parents’ death.

The conversation outside had died down, and the sound of the study door opening was heard. Mu Yanxi decided to start chatting softly with Yi Wulan. She suppressed a laugh. “How could Rongjia have as much liquid capital as Xinyu?”

No matter how outstanding Rongjia was, it shared a common problem with other corporations: a lack of substantial cash flow. But Xinyu was different. As one of the leading commercial banks in the country, Xinyu Bank held countless deposits.

As long as it could ensure that account holders could withdraw funds when needed, the money sitting in the bank could be freely used for investments at other times. This was also why commercial banks often offered higher interest rates to their account holders.

Hearing this, Yi Wulan pondered for a moment. “We can always try.”

The little liar surnamed Mu was instantly moved to tears. She theatrically wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Yi Wulan affectionately. “Elder Sister, seeing how pitiful I am, can you promise me one thing?”

Yi Wulan was instantly on guard. “You don’t want to look at the Rongjia documents again?”

Mu Yanxi: …

Weren’t you supposed to stand steadfastly by my side?

Just as Mu Yanxi was so angry that she nearly forgot Mu Yanqing was next door and was about to have a proper argument with Yi Wulan, a faint, soft sound suddenly came from the bookshelf.

Speak of the devil, and she shall appear.

With a ‘click’, the entire row of bookshelves rotated slightly, and a beam of light instantly illuminated the small space.

Mu Yanxi turned her head to look.

The sudden light made her squint. At the end of the bookshelf, the heel of a black shoe was the first thing to enter her vision. As her gaze moved slightly upward, she saw Mu Yanqing, dressed in a black nightgown, lazily observing their posture.

“Why is the study so lively in the middle of the night? Do I need to make myself scarce?”

Mu Yanxi was still draped over Yi Wulan, leaning against her unhurriedly, her legs even swinging back and forth. Her expression was natural, completely oblivious to what panic was.

After hearing Mu Yanqing’s words, she even managed to logically turn the tables. “I was about to ask you the same thing. Everyone says the President of Xinyu is young and promising, yet you deliberately got me drunk at dinner, and now you’re having a clandestine meeting in the middle of the night. Have you no shame, Mu Yanqing?”

Mu Yanqing: …

Mu Yanqing walked over in a few steps, pulled Mu Yanxi out of Yi Wulan’s embrace, and said coldly, “And may I ask, Second Miss Mu, what are you doing right now?”

“Of course I’m different from you,” Mu Yanxi retorted confidently, chin held high. “I brought Yi Wulan here for an open and honest tour.”

“Who goes on a tour without turning on the lights?” Mu Yanqing said irritably. “If you wanted to eavesdrop, just say so. It’s not like I wouldn’t let you listen.”

Mu Yanxi stubbornly insisted, “You don’t get it. It’s called creating ambiance.”

Mu Yanqing really couldn’t stand Mu Yanxi’s thick skin anymore, so she cut to the chase. “In that case, I’ll go back to my room to rest.”

Mu Yanxi immediately grabbed Mu Yanqing, a sly, fox-like grin on her face. “No, no, don’t go, Elder Sister. I still have something to ask you.”

“Yanche has already left. What is there to talk about in here? You two can come out and talk to me.” Mu Yanqing clicked her tongue, her gaze turning to Yi Wulan with an unavoidable hint of sarcasm. “Let’s not have people think our Mu family is truly inhospitable.”

Mu Yanqing walked out first and sat in the main seat in the study, crossing her legs with a displeased look on her face, as if she were ready to kick this lovey-dovey couple out of the house at any moment.

Seeing the two of them dawdling out, she stared straight at Mu Yanxi. “Did you know Yanche was coming over tonight?”

Mu Yanxi asked with an innocent face, “How would I know? It’s a rare trip home, I was just bringing Yi Wulan to see Mom and Dad.”

Seeing Mu Yanxi’s refusal to tell the truth, Mu Yanqing grew impatient. “Then you can leave. I still have to draft the documents for Yanche.”

Mu Yanxi’s bravado instantly deflated. She said meekly, “Elder Sister, it was just a coincidence.”

Mu Yanqing scrutinized Mu Yanxi. “You don’t trust me?”

Mu Yanxi’s head immediately shook like a rattle drum. “How could I not, my dear sister? I trust you the most.”

As the heartthrob transmigrator protagonist designated by the novel’s author, Mu Yanche’s system naturally came with related functions. People’s Likability Points for Mu Yanche served as nourishment for the system, and the system reciprocated in various ways, the most common of which was to repeatedly deepen the impression of him in the minds of those around him.

As long as a target was useful, the system would repeatedly reinforce Mu Yanche’s positive traits in that person’s memory and dreams. Over time, that person would develop special feelings, thus fulfilling the requirements of a heartthrob.

Just like before Mu Yanche was sent abroad, the servants in the Mu family were influenced by his system. Even though they knew he was the fake young master, they treated him extremely well, while ignoring Mu Yanxi, the real daughter who had been brought back.

However, this effect also depended on the plotline and the Likability Points Mu Yanche had accumulated. The more central a character was in the book, the harder they were to brainwash.

Take a neutral character in the novel like Mu Yanqing. A blood relationship existed between her and Mu Yanxi. If Mu Yanche wanted to brainwash her, he could only increase her goodwill towards him, but it would be difficult to make her do something out of character that would harm Mu Yanxi.

Perhaps Mu Yanche could, but it would come at a great cost, completely not worth the effort. It was better to just be a younger brother vying for favor, as he could still get benefits from Xinyu that way.

Therefore, Mu Yanxi had never doubted Mu Yanqing. Whether in her past life or in the novel’s descriptions, Mu Yanqing had always been the sister who was very good to her.

Although Mu Yanxi said she trusted her, Mu Yanqing’s expression was full of doubt. After scrutinizing her for a while, she said angrily, “I see you don’t trust me at all, resorting to such sneaky behavior. Would I really help an outsider deceive you? What would I gain from that?”

Mu Yanxi said matter-of-factly, “It’s precisely because I don’t know what you see in Mu Yanche that I had to come and listen.”

Mu Yanqing… Mu Yanqing was about to be driven mad by her own sister.

Before Mu Yanqing could say anything, Mu Yanxi suddenly spoke. “Alright, come here.”

Mu Yanqing was still wondering what ‘come here’ meant when the light in front of her was suddenly blocked, and she was unexpectedly pulled into an embrace by Mu Yanxi.

Mu Yanqing’s whole body stiffened, unable to hide the astonishment on her face for a moment.

Although Mu Yanqing usually liked to hug Mu Yanxi, the number of times Mu Yanxi had actively pulled her into an embrace could be counted on one hand, or rather, was almost non-existent.

As the President of Xinyu, even if Mu Yanqing was still the same older sister in front of Mu Yanxi, in the eyes of outsiders, she was definitely not a warm and approachable person. Since her parents passed away, it had been a long time since she had been held so tightly. Her body was incredibly stiff, and she didn’t even know where to put her hands.

After hugging Mu Yanqing, Mu Yanxi didn’t notice anything amiss at first. She quietly placed a hand on the back of Mu Yanqing’s head, seizing the opportunity to probe with her ability.

When they were drinking at dinner and Mu Yanqing had enthusiastically pulled her into an embrace, she had taken the chance to use her ability to confirm her previous suspicions. Sure enough, she had detected a thin barrier in Mu Yanqing’s mind and had erased it with a small amount of her ability.

That barrier wasn’t physically real, but it obstructed her ability. It was very similar to the barrier that had previously affected Yi Wulan’s legs and the one currently in her brain that hindered her ability’s healing. It was just that Yi Wulan’s barrier was much harder to remove, while this one on Mu Yanqing could be completely erased in a short while.

Yi Wulan’s barrier could be said to be imposed by the world consciousness of the book, while Mu Yanqing’s was imposed by Mu Yanche’s system. Ultimately, they shared the same origin.

When she was eavesdropping on Mu Yanqing and Mu Yanche’s conversation just now, Mu Yanqing’s attitude wasn’t very good at first. But later on, there were signs that she was about to agree to finance Mu Yanche. Although it was called financing, the interest charged would certainly be very low, almost equivalent to a free loan.

What could have caused such a change in Mu Yanqing’s attitude was, naturally, something Mu Yanche had done again.

Sure enough, this barrier had formed in Mu Yanqing’s mind again. However, this time the barrier was even thinner than the one she had detected at dinner, perhaps because of the residue of her ability, or perhaps because the power of Mu Yanche’s system had weakened.

After quickly clearing it away, Mu Yanxi sent a little more of her ability into Mu Yanqing’s body, controlling the amount just right to bring Mu Yanqing to the brink of drowsiness, but not enough to knock her out like she did with Yi Wulan.

This action was completed in just over ten seconds. After she was done, Mu Yanxi let out a small sigh of relief.

Only then did she notice that something was off with Mu Yanqing.

Mu Yanxi let go with a strange look on her face, only to see Mu Yanqing pressing her lips together, her eyes filled with a blank confusion.

Mu Yanxi looked at Mu Yanqing for a long time, initially thinking she had overdone it with her ability. But it wasn’t until her eyes met Yi Wulan’s that she realized something and spoke strangely:

“Elder Sister, you always seem so natural when you hug me. How come when I hug you… Don’t tell me you’re the type who likes to act caring, but panics the moment someone shows you concern?”

Mu Yanqing: …

Mu Yanqing, who could turn the self-deprecating and lost little wretch Mu Yanxi into a spoiled and arrogant little debt collector in just two or three years, naturally didn’t do so without a reference. The person she referenced was, of course, herself, who had received the most love from their parents since childhood.

She had been playing the role of a mature older sister in front of Mu Yanxi for so many years. Being seen through so suddenly, a blush uncontrollably spread across her face. Mu Yanqing summoned the imposing aura she had cultivated in the business world over the years, took a deep breath, and looked at Mu Yanxi with feigned composure. “Is that any way to talk to your older sister?”

Mu Yanxi: “So you can do it, but you can’t let people talk about it?”

Mu Yanqing smacked the top of Mu Yanxi’s head, a gentle smile on her face. “In that case, you can forget about ever getting another cent from me.”

After saying that, she looked at the suddenly twisted smile on Mu Yanxi’s face and finally felt a sense of satisfaction, as if she had won back a point.

“Elder Sister, I was wrong.” Mu Yanxi yielded extremely quickly, feeling no shame at all. “So, can we talk business now?”

Mu Yanqing glanced at Mu Yanxi with a half-smile. “Oh? You’re not asking your Elder Sister Yi for help this time?”

“No, no.” Mu Yanxi changed her grip from Mu Yanqing’s shoulder to her waist, nuzzling against her to show her sincerity. “Elder Sister is the best.”

Mu Yanqing knew not to take her sister’s words seriously. It was always ‘Elder Sister’ when she needed something, and her full name when she didn’t. She was used to it. Her gaze fell back to the piece of paper on the desk with a few numbers written on it. She raised her hand, intending to tear it up. “Yanche needs money. I’ll have him go through Xinyu’s normal credit assessment process.”

Mu Yanxi took the paper and looked at it. “Is this the amount and interest rate he just asked for?”

“Mhm,” Mu Yanqing replied casually.

“Then give him what he asked for.” Mu Yanxi sat down to the side, explaining under Mu Yanqing’s puzzled gaze, “Mom and Dad raised him for so many years, he’s practically half a son. Am I the kind of vicious person who would stop her brother from getting rich?”

Mu Yanqing: … Aren’t you?

“Wipe that doubtful look off your face,” Mu Yanxi glared at her. “I’ll draft the documents for you.”

Mu Yanqing: …

“You wrote the documents for Rongjia last time, and you’re writing them again this time?” Mu Yanqing said in disbelief. “Even if you want to pull strings, you can’t be this blatant! Do you think Xinyu is your personal bank account?”

Mu Yanxi clearly hadn’t expected Mu Yanqing to bring up old scores at a time like this. She was momentarily speechless, and after a while, she threw her hands up in defeat. “If you say so.”

Mu Yanqing was nearly angered to death again. She stood up and walked halfway around the desk. “Fine. Just tell me what you want to do. I’ll help you.”

Mu Yanxi looked at her strangely, not expecting that after clearing the system’s influence from her mind, Mu Yanqing truly felt no familial affection for Mu Yanche.

She thought for a moment, then said, “It’s nothing, really. I just want to add a few things to the documents. I interned at Xinyu for four years during university, so can you please not look so disdainful? I won’t let Xinyu suffer any losses.”

Mu Yanqing’s brow furrowed. After a long moment, she handed the paper with the data on it to Mu Yanxi. “Let me see it first after you’ve written it.”

“Fine, you’re the one who has to give it to him anyway.” Mu Yanxi took the paper, seemingly having achieved her goal. She walked happily over to Yi Wulan’s side and looked at Mu Yanqing.

“Alright, seeing as you’re being so considerate, Elder Sister, I’ll reluctantly help Xinyu earn a sum of money. No need to bow and thank me.”

Mu Yanqing: …

Mu Yanqing composed herself for a moment, but in the end, she couldn’t hold it in and spat out a single word: “Scram.”

And so, Mu Yanxi giggled and scrammed, pulling Yi Wulan with her.

---

Under a night sky with sparse stars, a black sports car drove down the road. At the wheel, Mu Yanche held the steering wheel with one hand and played with a lighter with the other, clearly very pleased with his actions at the Mu residence.

The system in his mind sensed his mood and spoke up: 【New energy project progress: 10% complete. Please continue your efforts, Host.】

Mu Yanche asked casually, “If I complete this project, does that count as finishing the plot? Can I then exchange Likability Points for anything I want?”

The system was silent for a moment before answering with its limited human-like reasoning: 【The final standard for plot completion is for the Host and the protagonist, Yi Jingming, to become winners in life. Please continue to strive, Host.】

Hearing this, Mu Yanche’s expression suddenly changed. “Yi Jingming, Yi Jingming, didn’t you say before that when the time was right, Mu Yanxi would help Yi Jingming’s career? Why is Mu Yanxi still in the entertainment industry and with Yi Wulan? And where did Yi Jingming go? Why can’t I contact him?”

【System searching. Please be patient, Host.】

【System searching. Search error. Search error.】

After an unknown amount of time, just as Mu Yanche parked the car in the garage, the system finally spoke: 【A major deviation in the plot has occurred. The protagonist, Yi Jingming, is known to be located at… at… System searching… located at Yuncheng First Prison.】

Mu Yanche’s hand, which was closing the car door, froze. “What did you say?”

【Yi Jingming has been criminally detained on suspicion of commercial crimes.】

“So he’s not getting out, is he?” Mu Yanche’s mind raced, quickly thinking of an alternative life. “Since my official partner is out of the picture, once I complete the other plot tasks, can I accept someone else?”

Although Yi Jingming was very much to his taste, after completing the tasks, if he could freely use his Likability Points, why would he hang himself on a single tree like Yi Jingming?

【Warning, warning. Please complete the plot seriously, Host.】

Mu Yanche sneered. “Yi Jingming is locked up. How am I supposed to be with him? Am I supposed to go be lovebirds with him in prison?”

The system was silent for a moment, then its mechanical voice sounded again: 【System searching… Search successful. The Host can take over Rongjia Group through the plotline and reduce the sentence as the plaintiff.】

Mu Yanche: …

Mu Yanche’s face was grim, but he had no choice but to compromise because of the system. This time, even if he had other thoughts, he didn’t voice them. He changed the subject. “Forget it. Is there any reward for securing the funds from Mu Yanqing just now? The New Year’s Eve concert is in a few days. You’re not going to make me rely on myself, are you?”

【The side quest is not yet complete. Please…】

Before the system could finish, Mu Yanche interrupted, “The New Year’s Eve concert has so much buzz. That’s the best time for you to replenish your Likability Points. It doesn’t matter if I make a fool of myself, but aren’t you tempted?”

【Please continue to follow up on the funds and contact the Feicheng new energy vehicle project as soon as possible.】

Mu Yanche’s heart relaxed, knowing the system had compromised. He headed upstairs in a much better mood.

As for what to sing or dance at the New Year’s Eve concert, that was his manager’s problem. As for practice, the system would naturally help him complete it.

---

On the other side, after a busy evening, it was already past midnight. Mu Yanxi took a bath and could finally get some proper rest.

The indoor heating made one drowsy. Not long after snuggling into the covers, Mu Yanxi couldn’t help but close her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the whirring sound of a hairdryer reached her ears. Mu Yanxi’s eyes fluttered half-open, and she let out a dazed “Mmm” at Yi Wulan beside her.

The hairdryer in Yi Wulan’s hand was whirring away. She had even let Mu Yanxi rest her head on her lap, her movements extremely gentle.

Mu Yanxi gradually came to her senses. Looking at Yi Wulan’s fully recovered legs, she recalled her situation right after she was reborn. In her daze, she felt it was all a bit unreal.

“What are you thinking about?” Yi Wulan’s voice came from above her head, clearly having noticed she was awake.

“N-nothing.” Seeing Yi Wulan so earnestly drying her hair made Mu Yanxi blush for some reason. She cleared her throat with a soft cough and turned her head away, feeling quite at a loss with the current Yi Wulan.

When she was first reborn, Yi Wulan had avoided her like the plague, not letting her touch her at all. Now, she kept her by her side every day and even took the initiative to dry her hair. This made Mu Yanxi very uncomfortable.

Evidently, the words she had used to describe Mu Yanqing earlier could also accurately describe herself. Mu Yanxi could tease Yi Wulan with ease, without any preparation, but as soon as Yi Wulan showed her even a little bit of active concern, she would become so uncomfortable she’d panic.

Especially at this moment, on this bed that held special significance.

Several hours had passed since she had that dream, but Mu Yanxi still hadn’t gotten used to it. For the first time, she began to doubt the memory from the dream.

Maybe, just maybe, it was because she had been a bit more intimate with Yi Wulan in bed recently that she had such a related dream? Just like the time she dreamed Yi Wulan came to find her while she was bathing?

Just then, her hair was dry. Mu Yanxi slowly scooted to the other side of the bed, her gaze fixed on the cool and serious Yi Wulan, sizing her up.

She thought: It must have been fake.

She cleared her throat and suddenly asked, “Yi Wulan, do you want to hear a bedtime story?”

Yi Wulan’s hand, which was lifting the covers, paused. Her intuition told her that she shouldn’t refuse at a time like this, so she nodded.

As if encouraged, Mu Yanxi cleared her throat with great enthusiasm. “I read a pretty good novel before. Wait, let me find it for you.”

Then, she pretended to open her phone’s browser and randomly clicked on a novel page from her history.

Yi Wulan was very cooperative, just leaning against the headboard, waiting for whatever story Mu Yanxi was going to tell her.

In truth, listening to the story was secondary. She just wanted to see what kind of mischief the little ancestor was up to now.

Telling stories for no reason was either a trick or a trap.

Mu Yanxi comfortably leaned against Yi Wulan’s shoulder, but she angled her phone away, making sure Yi Wulan couldn’t see the content, which would make it easier for her to make up a story.

Before starting the story, she even came up with another excuse. “Didn’t Doctor Xiusina emphasize that you should go to bed early and not stay up late? I heard that many people like to listen to novels before bed, so tonight I’ll reluctantly give it a try for you.”

Yi Wulan was already used to Mu Yanxi’s sharp tongue. Her eyelashes fluttered up slightly, then lowered again in tacit agreement.

Mu Yanxi thought she had justified her sudden storytelling well enough. She slowly lowered her gaze to her phone screen, intending to start weaving a story based on a past experience between her and Yi Wulan to probe her.

But as soon as her eyes met the screen, they landed on the warning at the beginning. Something about the content only representing the author’s personal tastes and not their values, with warnings of SM, abuse, submission…

Seeing this, Mu Yanxi suddenly realized she had randomly opened a link to Haitang Literature City. To put it simply, if this content were posted on Jinjiang, where she usually read, it would probably turn into a screen full of ‘□□□□’. Mu Yanxi didn’t even need to scroll down; just seeing the opening warning made her face turn red, and she almost dropped her phone.

Yi Wulan’s fingers, which were resting by her side, twitched suddenly.

Mortified, Mu Yanxi quickly closed the page. This time, she carefully confirmed she had switched to the mobile version of Jinjiang before letting out a sigh of relief.

But as luck would have it, the page on Jinjiang was an ABO novel. The omega was in the middle of their heat, and the author was writing a suggestive scene.

Fortunately, Mu Yanxi was a very adaptable person. After seeing the explicit descriptions just now, looking at these seemingly normal yet strangely evocative descriptions, she was already very calm. She just casually swiped her finger and skipped to the next day.

Although she was used to it, she would still feel very embarrassed if she had to read it carefully.

“This is a story about childhood sweethearts,” Mu Yanxi said her first sentence, hypnotizing herself with ‘This is a made-up story, not about me and Yi Wulan, it’s all fictional.’ After repeating this three times, she successfully shed her sense of shame.

Mu Yanxi was already thick-skinned. After detaching herself and Yi Wulan from the narrative, she completely treated the scene from her dream as a chapter from a novel, embellishing it as she spoke. While playing with Yi Wulan’s hair, she fabricated the story with clear articulation, feeling less and less of a psychological burden as she went on.

Towards the end, when the two female leads in the story had their first taste of love, Mu Yanxi was scrolling on her phone when she unexpectedly came across another description of an omega in heat. She froze, only then remembering that an omega’s heat lasts for seven days; she hadn’t skipped enough chapters.

Her face was expressionless. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, stopping her.

Mu Yanxi’s entire body stiffened, and she looked at the person behind her in astonishment.

Yi Wulan was like a qualified listener, full of curiosity. “What happens next in the novel? Let me see.”

Mu Yanxi: …

Mu Yanxi quickly closed the phone’s page. She was purely making up the story herself; it had nothing to do with the ABO novel on her phone. Of course, she couldn’t let Yi Wulan find out.

But looking at Yi Wulan’s expression, she seemed quite normal.

Did that mean the events in her dream were fake?

Just moments ago, Mu Yanxi had been recounting the dream scene with a blush on her face. Now, she felt a sudden sense of liberation, a feeling of ‘Since the dream was fake, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about’.

She placed her phone on the nightstand and said shamelessly, “The rest was banned by Jinjiang. If you want to see it, you might as well practice it yourself. Oh, I get it. You don’t know how, do you? Should I find some videos for you? Hmm, the actors in the videos might not be good-looking, which could ruin the aesthetic. Maybe I should just find you some written materials.”

As she spoke, Mu Yanxi even searched her mind for some of the more aesthetically pleasing erotic literature she had read on Haitang.

She chattered on and on, but received no response from Yi Wulan. Just as she was about to turn and see what the innocent President Yi was spacing out about, a warm body pressed against her back before she could even turn her head.

Mu Yanxi froze.

She instinctively had a bad feeling, as if she were a little fox being stalked by a predator. The sense of imminent danger made her tremble involuntarily.

Mu Yanxi immediately abandoned her attempt to grab her phone. Just as she was about to turn her head, a hand gently reached out from behind, turned her shoulders back, and forced her to lean back.

In the next moment, her vision was blocked, as if she had truly fallen into a beast’s lair and was about to be devoured.

Mu Yanxi’s body went rigid. She tried to remain calm. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Yi Wulan’s breath fell lightly on her face, accompanied by her voice. “No.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Wulan actually used her hand to cover her eyes, the same move she had used once before when she was about to initiate a kiss. At the same time, she added, “I just didn’t expect you to still remember.”

Her tone held a trace of imperceptible joy.

She clearly hadn’t expected that Mu Yanxi, who had lost her memory due to frequent high fevers, would remember this incident.

Mu Yanxi was shocked. No longer able to feign composure, she immediately slid down to escape Yi Wulan’s grasp, lest she be pinned to this bed again.

However, Mu Yanxi had lost the upper hand years ago, giving Yi Wulan more experience than her. Years later, she was naturally even more powerless against her. The moment she moved, Yi Wulan pressed down on her, capturing her lips in a kiss.

Mu Yanxi: …

A violent shiver ran through Mu Yanxi. Her kissed lips were both numb and tingling. The hand holding her shoulder wasn’t using much force, yet it rendered her completely immobile.

The sensation on her lips, combined with the dream that was still fresh in her mind, magnified the feeling countless times. Though it was just a light kiss, it felt as if her chest and abdomen were being delicately caressed, causing her body to instantly go soft.

“Yi…”

Mu Yanxi gripped the bedsheet beneath her so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand stood out, a testament to the force she was using. Her whole body was trembling. She wanted to speak, but what escaped her lips was a sweet, broken syllable.

It overlapped with her own voice from the dream. Yi Wulan’s kiss instantly became more intense, using the opportunity to lick open her tightly closed lips, growing more excited like the tireless fingers in the dream.
