Extra 3
Parallel World IF Line 2
Silence, extreme silence.
Lin Xingzhu watched as Bai Xiying’s expression became increasingly calm; the feeling after being suppressed to the extreme was like the silent brewing before a volcanic eruption.
Having the loophole in her words caught by Bai Xiying, Lin Xingzhu, who had truly witnessed a living person appear from a great change1, also felt a little unnerved.
She considered that Bai Xiying, having appeared out of thin air, would face many troubles in modern society. Due to this reason, Lin Xingzhu only hesitated for two seconds before revealing everything2 to the eccentric Bai Xiying.
Bai Xiying gave a light laugh, her tone strange. “So I’m actually the main character?”
As her voice fell, her expression suddenly twisted and changed drastically.
She suddenly burst into loud laughter, laughing until tears came out.
Lin Xingzhu: “…”
She was quiet for a moment, then silently pushed the tissue box to the other side.
Bai Xiying laughed wildly and wantonly, tears overflowing and her face twisted, like a performance in an absurd stage play.
“So it turns out I’m not only the main character, but the main character of a forced-love huang wen, ah.”
Hearing this, Lin Xingzhu’s heart suddenly felt unnerved.
Those words had still come from her own mouth…
Bai Xiying’s smile vanished. Ignoring the tissue box pushed in front of her, she asked again, “Then what about the others? Are they also main characters?”
“…” Lin Xingzhu recalled the comment section. “…It seems so.”
Lin Xingzhu saw that Bai Xiying’s behavior just now was not quite right. She had originally thought that Bai Xiying would continue to go crazy after hearing this, but who knew that after listening, she instead became increasingly calm.
Gazing at Lin Xingzhu, who had revealed everything, Bai Xiying’s lips curved as she sighed softly, “What is to be done? They are all dead. Your main characters are all dead, you know.”
Lin Xingzhu: “!”
Lin Xingzhu’s hair stood on end.
She stared dumbfounded at Bai Xiying, not even bothering to correct her words. “Who—who killed them?”
Bai Xiying smiled, watching her gently.
“…”
Alright, she knew who the killer was.
Lin Xingzhu’s back went cold. At this moment, she truly realized that a murderer had just fallen from the sky into her home.
Thinking this, Lin Xingzhu silently covered her face again. “Will this face of mine offend you?”
Just now, Bai Xiying had said that she looked almost exactly the same as that cannon fodder inside the story.
Bai Xiying watched her action, seeming to be pleased. “How could it? You aren’t her.”
Lin Xingzhu did not dare to agree with her words.
When one truly hates a person, one will even detest their belongings. Not to mention a person who looks almost exactly the same as that person.
However, after calming down now, Lin Xingzhu suddenly remembered the mistake in Bai Xiying’s words. “You said something wrong just now. They are not my main characters.”
Bai Xiying: “Are you not a reader?”
Lin Xingzhu: “…I don’t count. I belong to the category of story-abandoners3 who couldn’t continue reading.”
Bai Xiying said softly, “Then you have still read it.”
Lin Xingzhu: “…”
Forget it. She wasn’t going to argue with her about this.
Propping up an arm to block half of her face, Lin Xingzhu asked, “Now that you’ve come here, and it feels very likely that you can’t go back, have you thought about what you are going to do?”
She put aside the thought that the person before her might be a murderer4 and said, “You are also a modern person; you know that you can’t go anywhere outside these days without an ID card.”
Bai Xiying knew she was right, but she was not worried at all, and cared even less.
She gazed at the woman before her, feeling a trace of amusement for the first time in a long while.
Bai Xiying: “Then I just won’t go out.”
Lin Xingzhu: “?” She felt perplexed.
Bai Xiying pulled out a tissue and said softly, “I can stay in one room forever. It’s no problem how long I stay.”
She pursed her lips and implicitly spoke a horrifying sentence: “So, you can lock me up. It’s no problem for how long, and no one will ever know.”
No proof of identity, no source of income, alone in a strange world, isolated and helpless, with no one to turn to.
These conditions, added together, were so very tempting.
Bai Xiying looked directly at her, a temptation that could make one sink deep brewing in her pitch-black eyes.
Lin Xingzhu, who had tasted that bit of meaning: “…” I estimate the end for those people who locked you up was not too good.
“No, no, no, we should still solve your living situation.” Lin Xingzhu refused repeatedly and said frankly, “Besides, I’m too poor. I can’t afford another person’s living expenses.”
After leaving the Qin family, Lin Xingzhu did not take anything with her. She was the one who had been accidentally switched at birth to begin with. She was fortunate to have received a good, elite education from a young age in the Qin family, and had been invisibly encroaching on things that belonged to someone else. Even if they did not mind, Lin Xingzhu had no reason to continue encroaching.
Now, she had rented a new house, found a job, and was a qualified corporate livestock struggling in the big city.
Bai Xiying’s pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, making one unable to resist wanting to share her worries. “But I have no way to get proof of identity, ah.”
Lin Xingzhu fell silent. This was the most important, major problem.
Bai Xiying’s gaze swept across the simply and elegantly decorated living room. Pinching the tissue she had pulled out, she wiped the tear stains from her face. Her tone was soft, yet it was as final as the bang of a gavel. “So, I’ll live at your place for now.”
“For the foreseeable future, I’ll be in your care.”
Bai Xiying blinked her eyes, saying this with pure innocence.
Lin Xingzhu: “…”
She looked at Bai Xiying, who was as comfortable as if she were in her own home, and helplessly agreed.
Lin Xingzhu did not know why Bai Xiying would come to life from a book, and also happen to land in her rented house.
This kind of matter, which was outside the scope of science, was something she could never figure out.
According to Lin Xingzhu’s original intention, no matter how Bai Xiying had arrived, she herself, having done nothing, should not become the one to bear the responsibility. In a situation like Bai Xiying’s, one should still call the police.
However, perhaps seeing Lin Xingzhu’s intention to delay that day, after Lin Xingzhu nodded in agreement, Bai Xiying got up in the blink of an eye and moved close to Lin Xingzhu’s side. Her plain white, slender fingers caressed her fragile neck, as if flirting and also as if threatening, and those moving red lips also pressed lightly against the side of her ear.
A complete posture of seduction.
Could Lin Xingzhu lie flat5 and submit to the seduction?
That was certainly not possible.
She prided herself on being a person with a moral bottom line; she could not do this kind of beastly thing that was lewd6 right after meeting.
Thus, she seriously refused.
But at night, during the time Bai Xiying was washing up, Lin Xingzhu, who was passing by the bathroom, heard a strange sound coming from inside.
That sound was like an entangling water snake, stickily and directly drilling into a person’s ears.
Before long, the bathroom door opened. Water vapor lingered, and Bai Xiying emerged from her bath, her skin white with a hint of red, as tender and juicy as a ripe peach, making one’s imagination run wild and inviting one to pluck her.
Truly, at every single moment, she was radiating a fatal attraction and charm.
The hand Lin Xingzhu was using to hold the towel trembled, and with trembling eyelashes, she averted her gaze.
She couldn’t help but think in her heart, She wasn’t just doing that thing in there, was she?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xingzhu felt a bit awkward.
That was her bathroom…
Bai Xiying stared at her with a half-smile. “Have you changed your mind?”
She lifted a strand of dripping hair that hung down to her chest. The fabric, no longer obscured, was instantly revealed without a doubt. The soaked cloth reflected a patch of snow-white skin, and being seemingly revealed yet not was even more alluring.
Bai Xiying extended a finger tinged with pink and pressed it on Lin Xingzhu’s thin, pale lips. Her seductive eyes were like silk as she said in a husky voice, “I am very much looking forward to it, you know.”
This woman’s every move radiated a deadly sensual temptation.
Lin Xingzhu turned her head away slightly, avoiding Bai Xiying’s hand.
Her face was a bit stiff. “Which hand did you just use?”
Bai Xiying lazily emitted a single syllable: “En?”
The base of Lin Xingzhu’s ears turned red. “I said, which hand did you use for self-relief?”
Bai Xiying caught that hint of red, her eyes shifted, and she seemed to understand.
She unhurriedly straightened her arm. Her delicate, slender fingers looked especially beautiful under the light, particularly the fingertips, which still carried a post-bath pinkness that was exceptionally charming.
A moment later, Bai Xiying retracted her hand again. That finger which had just touched Lin Xingzhu’s lips was now pressed against her own lower lip. “It was this hand.”
She extended her moist tongue and lightly licked the fingertip pressed on her lower lip, saying ambiguously, “And I used the index finger, you know.”
BOOM!
Lin Xingzhu felt her cheeks burning. The instantly rising heat made it impossible for her to ignore; she already didn’t dare to imagine how red her face was now.
How could such a woman exist in this world!
Lin Xingzhu, holding the towel, went directly around her into the bathroom, slammed the door shut, and completely ignored Bai Xiying!
Inside the bathroom, Lin Xingzhu’s heart beat like a drum.
To be frank, Lin Xingzhu was a physiologically and psychologically perfectly normal woman. On the premise that her sexual orientation was female, with such a vivid and fragrant7 great beauty holding back her energy just to hook up with and tease people, it was very difficult for her to restrain her own body’s reaction.
Forcibly suppressing all sorts of wild thoughts, Lin Xingzhu slowly let out a breath after her body’s reaction subsided.
This woman Bai Xiying’s attitude clearly indicated that she simply did not want to leave!
Lin Xingzhu could not believe that a person who could kill8 clean all the people who had bullied and forced her in the novel world would be able to sell her body for survival so calmly and happily.
If she herself really accepted, she would also have to think about whether she could bear this price.
Although Lin Xingzhu was confident in her own skills, she never dared to look down on anyone.
She lowered her head, scooped up a handful of clear water to wash her face, and felt her mind clear up considerably.
Her peripheral vision caught sight of the shower head, and Lin Xingzhu’s just-calmed-down heartbeat quickened a few beats again.
Damn it!
Lin Xingzhu pursed her lips, her face cold, and quickly took a shower. She put on her most conservative set of pajamas and came out of the bathroom.
She came out and went to the bedroom, and with one glance, she saw the woman who should have been on the living room sofa now lying comfortably on her bed.
Lin Xingzhu stared at her. “Miss Bai, did you go to the wrong place?”
Bai Xiying pointed at herself in surprise. “Are you talking about me? But in the entire apartment, there is only a bed in this room. If I don’t sleep here, where do I sleep?”
“…” Lin Xingzhu said with forbearance, “Perhaps I thought you would consciously go sleep on the sofa.”
Bai Xiying shook her head, her eyes curved, looking very innocent. “The sofa isn’t as comfortable to sleep on as the bed.”
Who doesn’t know the sofa isn’t as comfortable to sleep on as the bed?! But this is her bed, hers!
If Bai Xiying wasn’t going to sleep there, was she, the master who had kindly taken her in, supposed to go sleep on the sofa?!
Lin Xingzhu’s entire body radiated a cool aura, looking exceptionally intimidating.
Bai Xiying slowly climbed up from the bed.
Thinking she was tactfully about to leave, Lin Xingzhu’s expression improved a little.
Then Bai Xiying walked closer.
Lin Xingzhu instinctively frowned.
Bai Xiying came to the foot of the bed and stood in front of Lin Xingzhu.
Bai Xiying’s lips curved, the corners of her eyes faintly red. Her seductive eyes swept over, like a soul-sucking yaojing9.
“We’ve already kissed, so do you still care about the issue of where to sleep?”
Taking advantage of the gap while the other person was stunned by these words, Bai Xiying hooked Lin Xingzhu’s neck, increased the force, and brought her to instantly fall backward onto the soft, large bed, with one on top of the other.
