Ai: Sorry, my brothers, I’ve been kidnapped by a yandere beauty and can’t update today.
The group chat immediately erupted with another round of roasting.
Gao Sijin watched the ever-changing scenery flash by outside the window, thinking this was definitely an act of God.
First, Yu Qingxue had locked the car doors. Second, opening a door at this speed was suicide. So Gao Sijin could only wear a grim expression as this woman drove him toward a completely unknown destination.
“Ugh, this is all your fault! I can’t even work now!”
“Oh? Why do I get the feeling you’re actually happy about this?”
“You have no idea how much trouble you’re causing me, you know that?”
Gao Sijin said loudly.
But inside, he was secretly thrilled beyond belief.
When most authors first start writing, it’s indeed out of passion. But once that hobby gets tied to money, writing becomes pure torture.
That’s especially true when you hit writer’s block.
“So where exactly are we going?”
“To Shengjing, the provincial capital!”
Yu Qingxue executed a drifting turn, her high ponytail swaying with the motion.
Just moments before, she had nearly crashed into an oil tanker. But Yu Qingxue was a veteran driver, and with her exquisite driving skills, she skimmed past the tanker by a hair’s breadth.
For a split second, Gao Sijin thought he saw the Grim Reaper waving at him. Having never even set foot in a haunted house since childhood, his adrenaline spiked at that moment. In his state of shock, his breathing became wildly erratic, and it took him a long while to finally calm down.
“You’re absolutely insane.”
“Woohoo!”
“Can you slow down a bit?”
“I, Yu Qingxue, don’t have a habit of driving slow. You fought hard to beat hundreds of millions of siblings into this world. If you don’t enjoy yourself to the fullest, what’s the point?”
She was a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. Though her words held some logic, Gao Sijin simply wanted to stay alive and not die so tragically young.
This woman was way too dangerous.
Once he got home, he absolutely had to delete all of her contact info.
After roughly three-plus hours, they finally drove into Shengjing.
Once inside the city, Yu Qingxue finally reined herself in somewhat. It seemed even the lawless Yu Qingxue feared the traffic police.
But her next sentence nearly made Gao Sijin spit out his drink.
“There aren’t any Officer Uncles around. How boring. I was actually hoping to race against them…”
“I’m begging you, Missy. Do you want my money or my body? Whatever it takes to let me out of this car, I’ll do it.”
“What kind of person do you take me for, Sijin? Taking your money is out of the question, but taking your body… now that’s worth considering.” Yu Qingxue’s pink, tender tongue glided over her rose-red, alluring lips. “But rather than taking your body, I’d much rather have a great time! Next, let’s go to a bar and have a good, solid drink!”
“Jesus, Allah, and the Jade Emperor, save me…”
But inside Yu Qingxue’s car, heaven remained deaf and the earth mute.
One stomp on the gas, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the city center’s Bar Street.
Beneath the row after row of towering skyscrapers lay a sea of multicolored neon lights.
Beneath the dazzling, eye-catching brilliance were streetwise youths sporting thick gold chains and cheap watches. They strutted through the streets, an arm around a girl on each side, as if born solely as creatures of pleasure-seeking revelry.
Compared to them, Gao Sijin felt the “streetwise man” label he’d always claimed was an absolute joke. These guys were the real streetwise ones.
“Come on, Sijin. Get out.”
The car door that had held Gao Sijin prisoner finally swung open again. As he stepped out, he nearly stumbled and fell flat on his face.
Luckily, Yu Qingxue caught his body in time, saving him from making a complete fool of himself.
“My legs are a bit weak. You go have fun by yourself. I’m going home…”
“What kind of defeatist talk is that? Today, you’re going to party with me until the world goes dark!”
Like a serpent, her arm coiled around his once more. Gao Sijin tried to break free, but found he couldn’t move an inch.
Then, with a twist of her arm, Gao Sijin felt like his joints were about to be snapped apart.
“Sijin, I forgot to mention—I’ve learned a little bit of joint locking.”
“If you keep this up, I’ll call the police! Just let me leave!”
“How spineless.” A flirtatious smile rippled across Yu Qingxue’s face. “Don’t you want to truly let loose for once? Your life is so rigid and unchanging. How can someone like you ever write a good light novel?”
“How do you know I write?”
“That day when I took your phone to add myself as a friend, I saw it. Sorry about that~”
Yu Qingxue looked triumphant, like a child who had uncovered a secret, without a trace of a peeping Tom’s guilt.
“I’m calling the police right now.”
“Sijin, my adorable little Sijin, feel your coat pocket. Do you still have your phone?”
“My phone?”
“It’s right here.”
The Vivo phone he’d used for three long years was now in Yu Qingxue’s hand.
“You little thief, give it back!”
“Don’t wanna. I won’t give it back~” Yu Qingxue’s evil smirk pursed her glistening, moist red lips. “Unless you spend a full day partying with me, forget about getting your phone back.”
“Give it back!”
Gao Sijin reached out to snatch it, but Yu Qingxue simply tucked the phone between her snow-white, bountiful chest.
“Go on, your phone is in my bra now. If you want it back, take it yourself. Don’t worry, I won’t call the police uncle to have you arrested as a pervert.”
Staring at the D-cup wickedness before him, Gao Sijin took a deep breath and slowly extended his hand.
Yu Qingxue watched with a beaming smile, showing no resistance whatsoever, as if that sensitive area had been opened up specifically for him.
“Forget it. I’ll keep you company just this one last time. Yu Qingxue, you win this round.”
“That won’t do at all. A honest and straightforward guy like you will definitely get utterly dominated by women in the future.”
Linking her arm with his, she pulled him into a bar that exuded an aura of pure hormones just from its exterior.
Night Breeze.
Thanks to nine years of compulsory education, Gao Sijin knew what the bar’s English name meant.
However, Gao Sijin thought “Night Madness” would be a much more fitting translation.
Yu Qingxue’s BMW i8 parked in the lot wasn’t the most eye-catching car there. This was clearly a social hub for rich playboys. Watching one designer-clad rich young master after another, Gao Sijin couldn’t help feeling like a sardine swimming into a school of sharks. A very bad feeling indeed.
Only Yu Qingxue truly belonged here. Her queen-like presence instantly drew the gaze of many.
Inside, the young people were utterly unrestrained, howling like ghosts and wailing like banshees. On the dance floor, scantily clad men and women writhed their bodies with wild abandon. The music was so deafeningly loud, Gao Sijin felt his brain was about to completely explode.
“So, feeling inspired yet?”
“I write light novels, not urban power fantasies.”
“That’s exactly why you’re a failure. Starting now, you need to learn how to actually have fun.”
“The joys and sorrows of people are not the same. I just find them all very loud and annoying.”
