Shen Zhiyi wanted to slap Lu Junyue a few more times.
Unfortunately, her strength failed her, and she fainted.
……
Hospital, VIP ward.
Shen Zhiyi was awakened by the System’s crying.
System: 【Host baby! You’re finally awake! Wuwuwu! I almost thought I’d have to live out my widowhood at such a young age!】
Shen Zhiyi sighed: 【I remember when we first bound, you were quite a cold and aloof System. How did you turn into a crying mess?】
The System denied it: 【Did I?】
Changing the subject, the System cursed: 【Damn! No wonder Lu Junyue is a villain who can’t become the male lead! You risked your life to take a bullet for him, and for anyone else, the Heartbeat Value would have skyrocketed!】
【But him? Not a single point increased! If you ask me, we might as well continue pursuing Ji Yanli! Ji Yanli’s Heartbeat Value has already soared to 80!】
Shen Zhiyi opened her eyes and found Lu Junyue sitting by the bed.
She seemed to have overlooked one point.
Lu Junyue, this insane villain, was different from normal people.
Therefore, to pursue him, she couldn’t use conventional methods.
The two stared at each other in silence, the air still and awkward.
Han Ming, standing nearby, coughed dryly and made eye gestures: Boss Lu, say something sweet, show some concern for your wife!
Lu Junyue understood and spoke.
“Congratulations, you’re quite tough.”
Han Ming: “…” Better to have said nothing.
If it were any other woman, she would probably have cried and thrown a tantrum by now.
But Shen Zhiyi showed no signs of anger, merely parting her pale lips slightly.
“I’m thirsty.”
Lu Junyue poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Shen Zhiyi didn’t take it.
“Feed me.”
“Your hands aren’t injured.”
“Feed me.”
“…”
The girl’s face was pale and weak, evoking pity.
No matter what he said, she only repeated those two words: “Feed me.”
The incessantly repeated words seemed to become some kind of command. By the time Lu Junyue realized it, he was already holding the cup to her lips.
An inexplicable anger rose within him.
Was she training him like a dog?
Shen Zhiyi’s mouth was small, and Lu Junyue fed her too hastily. Water spilled from the cup, trickling down her snow-white neck and into the collar of her hospital gown…
Shen Zhiyi was the one drinking, but he was the one who grew thirsty.
Lu Junyue’s body stiffened slightly, his tense Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbing.
Anger was replaced by desire.
Han Ming sensed the shift in atmosphere. After delivering the noodles, he slipped away, closing the door behind him for Boss Lu.
This time, before Shen Zhiyi could even speak.
Lu Junyue had already skillfully picked up the noodles and brought them to her lips.
“It’s hot.”
“Why are you so difficult to please?”
He frowned, but his mouth honestly blew on the noodles in front of him.
Only after cooling them did he feed her.
“Shen Zhiyi, aren’t you afraid of death?”
“I am.”
Shen Zhiyi suddenly leaned closer to him, “But I’m more afraid of you dying.”
She thought to herself: ‘If you die, I have to die with you. Of course, I’m afraid of you dying.’
Lu Junyue heard her inner thoughts, pausing mid-action as he fed her the noodles.
If he died, she would follow him in death?
She actually… loved him this much!
But before, her inner voice had clearly stated that she had ulterior motives!
Lu Junyue appeared indifferent, but the noodles in the bowl were already crushed by his stirring.
“You said you loved me before. We’ve only known each other for a few days—what do you love about me?”
Though it seemed like a casual remark, Shen Zhiyi sensed a probing tone.
Lu Junyue was testing her.
The System grew anxious.
It had seen Shen Zhiyi’s profile. Its host was a villainess—how could she possibly spout sweet nothings!
Moreover, Lu Junyue was not an easy man to fool.
[“Don’t be scared, baby host! I’ll immediately seek help from other love systems to get you a standard answer…”]
“Lu Junyue, some love is made through action.”
Shen Zhiyi’s words were startling.
The system short-circuited.
Lu Junyue was also stunned.
He had indeed been testing her and had imagined countless lies she might use to deceive him.
But this answer was clearly beyond his expectations.
Shen Zhiyi’s hand slid down his abdominal muscles, her fingertips stopping just below his lower abdomen.
“I love you, but I love your body even more.”
“…”
Two sentences were enough to render Lu Junyue, the deranged Living Yama, completely silent.
[To be honest, Lu Junyue is exceptionally handsome with insane stamina. Although he’s rough and doesn’t understand tenderness, it’s really exhilarating!]
When Shen Zhiyi’s excited inner monologue reached his mind, he completely believed her words.
So, her ulterior motives—were actually aimed at his body?
System: [Ding—Detected change in deranged antagonist Lu Junyue’s Heartbeat Value. Heartbeat Value +1! Current Heartbeat Value: 10! Baby host, we’ve finally broken through the single digits!]
System: [Ding—Lu Junyue’s Heartbeat Value +1]
[+1]
[+1]
…
In Shen Zhiyi’s mind, the system’s notifications kept ringing incessantly.
Her guess had been correct.
Lu Junyue might be crazy, but when it came to emotions, he was extremely cautious.
However, why did Lu Junyue’s Heartbeat Value keep increasing by +1 repeatedly?
Puzzled, she looked up and met Lu Junyue’s dark, desire-filled cold eyes.
Shen Zhiyi’s mouth was small and very soft.
He had tasted it before.
It was sweet.
Lu Junyue felt inexplicably restless. Remembering their previous intense encounters, he slammed the bowl heavily aside.
No longer restraining himself, he pinned Shen Zhiyi’s wrists and pushed her down onto the bed.
Burying his face in the crook of her neck that carried her unique scent, his overwhelming kisses claimed every inch of her skin.
Desire peaked at this moment.
Until Shen Zhiyi, lying completely unresponsive on the bed, spoke up.
“We can’t.”
“What?”
Lu Junyue paused, looking down at the blushing young woman beneath him.
Shen Zhiyi said very seriously, “I’m injured, so we can’t.”
Lu Junyue’s gaze lowered, noticing her hospital gown was soaked through with blood.
His movements had been too rough earlier—her wounds must have reopened.
The system was very worried: [Baby host, Lu Junyue won’t listen to you! When he goes crazy, he’s like a wolf. Should we stick to our old routine and drug him?]
The moment the system finished speaking—
The next second, Lu Junyue coldly got up from Shen Zhiyi and called a doctor to treat her wounds.
He entered the bathroom.
After splashing his face with cold water multiple times, he looked up at his desire-filled eyes in the mirror and bit his lower lip.
He had never felt like this before.
So, so desperately wanting her.
Like a ferocious beast finally breaking free from years of chains, now he only wanted to be with her—
To indulge in pleasure with her at all times!
The door behind him suddenly opened.
In the enclosed space, Lu Junyue’s restrained features seemed magnified.
Before even turning around, he could already smell her unique, intoxicating scent.
“…”
Lu Junyue’s breathing intensified, wicked thoughts screaming in his mind.
Urging him to lift her vulnerable form onto the sink and take her fiercely!
Right now, he simply couldn’t share a room with her!
Lu Junyue turned to leave, but someone wrapped their arms around his waist from behind.
Shen Zhiyi’s captivating voice teased, playing with Lu Junyue’s heart.
“Let me help you.”
Then, he saw her fair and slender little hand…
Her hand was very soft…
Lu Junyue’s ears turned bright red as he tilted his head back to look at the ceiling, not letting Shen Zhiyi see the expression on his face.
Just as he let out a long exhale,
Shen Zhiyi heard the system in her mind frantically broadcasting again.
System: [Ding—detected Lu Junyue’s Heartbeat Value +1]
[+1]
[+1]
System: [Lu Junyue’s Heartbeat Value: 18! Oh my god! Host baby, we’ve finally weathered the storm and reached calm seas! Although the Heartbeat Value is increasing bit by bit, it’s rising so fast!]
Fast?
Shen Zhiyi wasn’t satisfied.
…
Finally,
Shen Zhiyi turned on the faucet and gently washed her hands under the running water.
Lu Junyue’s eyes darkened.
Though it was a different kind of experience, he still craved her body more.
He pressed against her back from behind, took her hand, squeezed some hand soap, rubbed it into a lather in her palm, then rinsed it off.
“Didn’t you say you liked my body? Once your injury heals…”
“Lu Junyue.”
Shen Zhiyi interrupted him, raising her eyes to look at Lu Junyue’s reddened ears reflected in the mirror, like a hunter beginning to close the net.
“Lu Junyue, let’s get divorced.”
