Inside the room Min Guiying smiles to himself as his face turns red from being flustered. Wow! He had never DARED to say something as scandalous as THAT! It made him feel so… free! As if what he said didn't matter to anyone's reputation and he could finally be himself!
"Don't get so carried away Min Guiying, remember, although nobody knows who you are here, it doesn't mean they will never find out. Keep up the clan's reputation, a mistake like that shouldn't be repeated again, understand?" Min Guiying scolds himself, sighing painfully that he wouldn't be able to feel that emotion ever again of… freedom.
He hated how his subconscious prevented him from doing what he wanted.
"Hey Young Master Min!" The door slams open, causing Min Guiying to flinch as the door crashes into the wall. Zhao Hui closes the door before looking at the singular bed with a 'I knew it sigh'. He points at it with his thumb, "There's only one bed, I should've expected it. You want to sleep on it? I can make the floor comfortable for my liking."
Sigh, I can't believe that I'm cockblocking my OTP! This was the moment where they were supposed to sleep on the same bed for the first time! I came in between the two characters, it's bound to change the outcome of the comic! Speaking of characters, Penelope was blaring into my ears that a character had a major character change that wasn't allowed, who was this character?
"Sleep with me. Wait- FUCK. That sounded wrong, I meant you can sleep ON THE BED with me!" Min Guiying quickly colors from the miswording and cringes, putting his head down.
"Oh, uh, hold on- what?!" Zhao Hui isn't able to process this, did Min Guiying- fucking hotheaded MIN GUIYING- say Zhao Hui could sleep ON THE SAME BED as him?! That line he just used… it- it was used in the comic book! How come this scene was happening with HIM and not Liu Jia?!
… (Liu Jia x Xun YuYang perspective)
"Snuck out, didn't you?" The girl chuckles as she follows Liu Jia's sneaking movements to the table.
"No, I actually didn't. My- er- brother was quite tired so he fell asleep quickly, and my other- uh- brother's have their own room."
"You have three brothers?! Wow, I have only one sibling which is a younger sister, and she's a pain in the ass! Are you the oldest?" The girl smiles, staring at Liu Jia's awkward answers.
"Uh, yeah, I am."
"Argh, must be hard taking care of so many dumbasses, am I right? Well, wanna have a drink? You owe me one."
"What? Why do I owe you a drink?" The girl begins pouring out wine in a jade cup while Liu Jia looks at her with pure confusion, wondering why she would owe a complete stranger a drink.
"Cause when I saw you, I dropped mine." The girl looks up mid-pouring and smirks attractively, winking smoothly after her pick up line.
Liu Jia blushes but clears her throat, trying to ignore the warm feeling rushing in her veins.
"How about a drinking contest, the last one to stop drinking pays." Liu Jia was a fan of competition, and it seemed this girl was as well.
"Hold on Ma'am, I still need a name, in case you back out." The girl smirks, staring at Liu Jia, trying to get on her nerves even before the match begins.
Liu Jia hesitates before answering, cautious as to whether to trust this piece of beauty or not. In the end, her answer finalizes as, "Liu Jia."
"Your name sounds so stunning and enchanting! My name is Xun YuYang, remember it when you lose."
" 'Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.' " Liu Jia smiles innocently as she grabs a glass of wine and taps it with Xun YuYang's, "Cheers to glass number one."
"Cheers to glass number one~" Xun YuYang and Liu Jia gulp down the icy fresh wine, leaving a burning sensation in their throat.
…
"Damn Liu Jia, I didn't expect you to be able to hold your alcohol well!" Xun YuYang laughs as she watches Liu Jia take another shot.
"Number 26 bitches, now who you gonna check boo?!" Liu Jia cackles as she feels the wine GUSHING through her veins.
"The last time I took 26 shots, I woke up in a strangers house and saw two grown-ass men try and steal two chickens straight outta the coop! OUTTA THE COOP! One was clearly drunk and the other looked like a new mother with a wild child who honestly needs to take a sleep pill and sleep! Usually when I'm tipsy I take naps in chicken coops, but that shit TRAUMATIZED me, last time I'm entering a chicken coop!"
"I- I'm just so disappointed in you, what- a chicken coop?! You CLEARLY haven't seen a pond cause that shit is *chef's kiss* MUAH!" Liu Jia laughs drunkenly, using more hand motions then she would ever let herself see.
"Hmmm, interesting, I will try that next time I get drunk." Xun YuYang nods, looking completely in agreement with Liu Jia, although their conversation was very unusual.
"Speaking of interesting things… have you read any of those raunchy novels from the author Bao? I hear they were quite popular around the cultivation realm." Liu Jia looks around, pretending as if she were an old aunt gossiping, giggling with Xun YuYang at the action.
"GASP! LIKE 'MOONLIGHT LOVER'?!" Xun YuYang's eyes widen with excitement as she shakes her index finger at Liu Jia.
"YES!" Liu Jia's entire body was feeling bubbly and she felt an emotion that she had strived to feel in so long… happiness. She felt happy, and safe with Xun YuYang, so safe that she left herself vulnerable to anything. Yet, Xun YuYang hadn't done anything.
"I first bought the novel because I heard it was steamy from a number of people, but I feel like the plot is so underrated! The plot was so beautiful and delicately woven, I loved every moment of it!"
"I know, right? Although there were so many spicy scenes, the author made them all special and with different emotions every time! She went unique with the different kinks, positions, and their wording wasn't awkward! The author also balanced the spiciness AND the plot, it was so amazing to read! Even though the novel was expensive, it was worth EVERY penny!"
"I agree, I agree." Xun YuYang pours another cup for the two, "Drink up, don't give up now, number 27~!"
"Cheers~!"
Both girls sigh in approval at the crispy wine after chugging down another glass.
"I don't know any other way to say it but- let's dive deep into childhood trauma. What happens the table stays at the table, I promise." Xun YuYang had such a genuine face, and every moment until now she had proven to Liu Jia how kind she was.
This was the final moment where Liu Jia could judge whether Xun YuYang had earned or trust, or was still too suspicious. But as she opened her mouth to answer, a scream broke out in the hotel, "GEGE HELP ME!"
… (Zhao Hui x Min Guiying perspective)
"So? Are you going to take my offer? We are both men, like you said before, it shouldn't matter!"
"It- It's just not like you to offer something like that."
"How well do you think you know me?!"
"Well, I know for sure you hate people touching you, so why would I share?"
"I- I- ARGH! IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SLEEP ON THE BED YOU COULD'VE JUST SAID SO!"
"No. I WANT to sleep on the bed. I just wanted to know why you would want to ask me to do this."
Cause I'm scared! Min Guiying wanted to scream, I miss my parents! I'm scared of being alone! I want someone to tell me it'll all be okay!
Instead he says:
"You've slept on the floor too often, the bed is more comfortable!"
"Min Guying is scared and feels alone. Sleep with him on the bed and give him company. Tell him everything is okay." Penelope speaks.
"Min Guiying is scared?" FUCK. Zhao Hui just said that out loud. Min Guiying looks embarrassed, shocked, and feels exposed. Without saying a word, he angrily turns away and lays on the bed.
"W-Wait! Young Master Min!" Zhao Hui reaches out to Min Guiying, but before doing so, he gets some things clear with Penelope:
"Penelope, look, I need you to answer some questions for me tomorrow. One: what do you mean character change because ever since I got here I have changed the characters quite a bit, what makes one so severe? Two: How do you know how Min Guiying is feeling? And Three: How come when I speak out loud Min Guiying is able to hear me? I thought when I speak to the system time basically freezes in the comic realm."
"Okay, I'll answer your questions tomorrow, have a good rest Zhao Hui." The familiar ding enters Zhao Hui's mind and he immediately walks over to Min Guiying.
Zhao Hui stands over the bed, and Min Guiying could see his shadow covering the light. Tears slid down his cheeks, dampening his neck, and Min Guiying struggled to keep his sniffles quiet. Part of him still hoped Zhao Hui would sleep with him, hugging him the way that he did in the boat.
Min Guiying sees and hears the lights get blown out, and then hears rustling as someone settles on the bed with him. Hands reach over his waist, back hugging him, causing Min Guiying to gasp softly. Although there was moonlight coming from an open window on Min Guying's side of the bed, Zhao Hui couldn't see Min Guying crying unless he turned around.
"Everything is going to be okay, don't worry Min Guying. I promise." Zhao Hui whispers into Min Guiying's ear.
"Don't make promises you can't keep." Min Guiying's voice cracks. Zhao Hui turns Min Guiying so his face is facing him, and hugs him.
"NO. I will keep this one. You have to trust me."
"..." Min Guying hugs Zhao Hui back, "You won't leave me too, will you? Promise that too, please."
"Why would you think something like that? I would never even THINK of something like that! Whoever leaves YOU lost something, not the other way around. Without you, I would never see that cute angry face you make, I wouldn't be able to wake up knowing I won't see it again!"
"S-Stop!" Min Guiying hits Zhao Hui's chest, blushing.
"Happier?"
"Thank you. Knowing your beautiful laughs won't welcome me in the morning scares me too…" Min Guiying mutters as he cuddles closer into Zhao Hui.
"O-Oh?" It was Zhao Hui's turn to blush, nobody had ever straight up flirted back with Zhao Hui. Remembering his own family, Zhao Hui cuddles closer, not wanting to feel alone either.
A scream breaks the moment.
…
Min Boquin was not, in fact, asleep. Liu Jia had seen Min Boquin laying down on the bed, and after not seeing him move, assumed he had gone into slumber. So Min Boquin was still up when he heard Liu Jia's feet scurry out of the room and her attempt at closing the door quietly. After contemplating whether to follow her or not, Min Boquin concluded he shouldn't take away her privacy like that. Whoever she was meeting or whatever she was doing, was none of his business. Knowing Liu Jia was perfectly capable of protecting herself, he chose to take a nightly walk over stalking his future sister-in-law.
"Well technically she's a godsister because gege is going to marry Zhao Hui anyway. Speaking of Zhao Hui, I wonder if they did anything… SPICY tonight…" A smirk forms on Min Boquins face as he recalls Min Guiying's words before they had retreated into their assigned rooms, "Sigh, anyways, let me go for that nighttime stroll. I hear the weather in Feng village is best during the night!"
Jumping out of the open window Min Boquin breaths in the crisp, cold air. He shivers lightly and looks around at the lit shops and vendors. It was quite late so only a handful of people were walking around or sitting and drinking at nearby shops. He exchanged warm smiles with vendors, and sometimes citizens, but then he bumped into someone, causing him to be thrown on the floor.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" An innocent looking girl runs over and struggles to pick Min Boquin from the floor. She looks genuinely sorry and especially worried when she sees Min Boquin's scraped hands. She appeared to be the same age as Min Boquin.
"Don't worry about it Ma'am, I didn't see where I was going either!" Min Boquin waves his hand, smiling at the petite girl.
"But you're hurt! Sir, at least let me bandage it! Do you have a house nearby?"
"No, I'm only a visitor, however I am renting a room at the hotel right around the corner. Aren't you worried about following a stranger, especially a MAN, into his hotel room?!"
"Oh but sir, you seem too polite to have any other intentions."
"But I think I can bandage it on my own. I'll be heading off now, I believe it is too late. I hope to see you tomorrow!" Min Boquin waves at the girl as he walks off.
"I hope to see you too, sir!" The small girl's smile turns into a freakish smirk, "He's perfect."
…
"What an odd girl, huh. She was quite attractive though, but I did what Liu Jia told us, not get involved with others. If only she could see me NOW! Actually following her directions like the BEST behaved boy there is!" Min Boquin giggles and his heart swells with pride. He listened to Liu Jia and kept everyone safe.
He kept everyone safe… but himself.
Min Boquin was in his dark room and jumped back through the window. Stripping down a layer of robes, Min Boquin gets himself ready to actually go to sleep. He was in the middle of taking off his robe when he heard a creak. Then the door opens and closes softly.
"Jia jie, is that you? Sorry, I went out for a walk, but I'm heading to bed now." Min Boquin proceeds to take off his outer robe and throws it over a rod. Liu Jia doesn't answer, which Min Boquin doesn't mind, but he hears her steps get closer, "Anything you want Jia jie?"
"How about you, pretty boy?" A voice breaths scarily next to Min Boquin's ear and that's when he realizes.
This wasn't Liu Jia.
Min Boquin whips his body around, and shining under the moonlight, the girl from his walk is seen. It was unmistakingly her, the same petite figure, beautiful skin, but her eyes were glowing red instead of brown. He gasps looking at her while she laughs inhumanly.
How could this be the same girl he saw?! Instead of seeming cute and innocent, she seemed like a demon, or a predator, ready to eat its prey.
"Y-YOU!" Min Boquin raises a finger at her. She continues to laugh.
"Haven't you learned not to tell people information about yourself? You, red riding hood, just led the wolf to your den." The girl licks her lips, smiling hungrily.
(starting now there will be a near rape scene till the end of the chapter. those that are uncomfortable or triggered by this can stop reading now till the end of this chapter)
"N-No! Wait! STOP!" The girl whips out a rope from her Hanfu that shimmers a beautiful gold and uses it to tie Min Boquin's hand. Min Boquin kicks his legs, moves his arms, thrashing around, trying to escape from the rope and keep the girl away.
"What a shame you aren't obedient. Tsk, you aren't leaving that rope anytime soon. It's made from Ignurt string, it's nearly unbreakable." She throws Min Boquin's body on the bed, "Now what should I do to you first? Ah yes, stop your legs from moving to make it easier getting close to you."
"Don't come near me you bitch! Get away!" Min Boquin spats. "Help, HELP!"
"And gag your mouth so others won't hear your pleas for help." The girl points her hand at Min Boquin, and two more pieces of rope come flying out of her Hanfu, tying his legs. She grabs a piece of cloth and ties it around Min Boquin's mouth.
"STOP! GET AWAY, PLEASE!" Min Boquin's pleas are muffled from the cloth, but he doesn't stop screaming and thrashing.
"Hmmm, let's put your arms above your head, you'll look more sexy like that." The girl takes Min Boquin's arm and ties it on a rod above the side of the bed meant for baggage, "Yes, this is beautiful. But your tears are the most beautiful." By now Min Boquin was crying and the girl noticed. She put her hand on his face, rubbing the tears, smiling creepily. Min Boquin cringed from the touch. He was so scared, he didn't even expect anyone to be up now and help him.
The girl rips Min Boquin's robe open and runs her hand on his chest.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! STOP IT! ST-" The girl squeezes his nipples which causes him to moan. Fresh tears run down Min Boquin's face, "No, please, please, don't touch me, I beg you-"
"I love it how you say 'stop', but your body wants more." The girl's eyes were still shining red and it made Min Boquin shudder, he was scared because he knew nobody would save him. This girl- this cute innocent girl, would rape him.
The girl begins licking his ear and his neck, sucking on his skin. Min Boquin couldn't stop his crying, he hated how slimy it felt. He hated how he couldn't break out. He hated how he wasn't strong enough. HE HATED IT!
"Good boy, finally being obedient, aren't you? That's right, I'm going to make you feel good…" She says huskily into the silence, taking in Min Boquin's moans he tried so hard to keep in. He didn't want this, and he didn't want to let her think he liked it!
Feel good. Feel good?! DOES IT LOOK LIKE I FEEL GOOD?! I'M CRYING AND BEGGING YOU TO STOP! Min Boquin thinks, looking at the psychopath in front of him.
Her tongue traveled down to his nipples. She began sucking on them, leaving nail scratches on his waist and abs area.
"No more…" Min Boquin hiccups as he begs, "Please, let me go… I don't want this…"
"Hush baby, almost there." The girl begins stripping her own robes. She reaches the last layer and slowly takes it off, as if teasing him. Teasing him at how he wouldn't be able to escape his fate.
You might think it's easy to take advantage of me, but I'm not going to let this happen without trying! I'll scream until my voice goes away and fight until every last bone of my body breaks! Min Boquin thinks as he takes a deep breath to yell his loudest.
"GEGE HELP ME!"
