I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 116

Because Su Wenwen and Luo Xi were temporarily staying at the laboratory, the vacated villa was given to Wang Xuan and the others to live in.

By the time everyone was properly settled, the sky had already darkened, so Su Wenwen brought Wang Xuan to her place for dinner.

Having finally gotten a chance to see his younger sister, Luo Ling naturally followed with a dead-skinned and shameless face¹, and during the meal, he relentlessly put food on Luo Xi’s plate, calling it by the fine-sounding name of²: “Your hand is injured, so your big brother will get food for you.”

“But I really didn’t expect that my sister-in-law would actually know Wang Xuan. That makes it much more convenient for us to talk. Wang Xuan’s ability can transfer injuries. By placing her by my mom’s side, we won’t have to worry about people plotting things in the dark.”

She hadn’t expected her best friend to have awakened such a powerful ability. However, this damage transfer could only move injuries to a living organism, and that organism had to be alive and within a certain transfer range.

Wang Xuan had relied on this ability to secretly transfer a fatal wound for Luo Ling once before; otherwise, Luo Ling might not have made it back alive.

After hearing these words, Luo Xi, for once, did not refuse Luo Ling’s feeding and obediently ate all the food in her bowl.

Seeing Luo Xi being so well-behaved, Luo Ling was moved so much that hot tears filled his eye sockets³. For him, ever since their father’s death, it had been a long time since he had sat and eaten a meal so peacefully with Luo Xi. He couldn’t help but mention, “Little sister, come back with me to the Luo family home tomorrow to see Grandpa.”

“Although I don’t like Grandpa’s attitude either, he is getting old after all. Even if he argues with us, he only has a few years left to do so.”

Luo Xi looked up at Luo Ling.

She and Luo Ling hadn’t seen each other in years, usually contacting each other by phone if something came up. Now, examining Luo Ling’s face closely, he seemed much more rugged than she had imagined.

For this request, Luo Xi couldn’t give an immediate answer, only replying, “We’ll see!”

Wang Xuan had heard Luo Ling mention some things about the Luo family, so hearing their conversation now, she knew it wasn’t her place to interject. She simply scooted closer to Su Wenwen to ask about her recent situation.

Especially about that scoundrel, Helian Yun.

This was because someone in Luo Ling’s team had previously stayed at the base where Helian Yun was located. Due to an external mission, this person met Wang Xuan by chance, and that’s how she learned that Helian Yun was a treasure at that base; her healing-type ability was second to none.

And Helian Yun had stayed at the sea base for a period before, but for some unknown reason, she had left. Since Su Wenwen was also here, the two of them must have met.

Wang Xuan knew how much Su Wenwen loved Helian Yun, but Helian Yun was clearly unreliable. She wouldn’t even let her into the apartment Su Wenwen was renting. Just based on her appearance and behavior, she seemed like a total player, making Wang Xuan unable to stop herself from some brain-supplementing⁴, imagining that Helian Yun left the sea base because she had gotten tired of Su Wenwen.

“We broke up a long time ago.”

Wang Xuan looked at Su Wenwen suspiciously. Why did that feel so hard to believe? Back then, Su Wenwen had given so much for Helian Yun. She herself had said many bad things about Helian Yun and advised her to break up, but they never did. Could a mere apocalypse separate them?

However, seeing the gentle smile in Su Wenwen’s eyes, unlike the constant worries of the past, Wang Xuan chose to believe her words.

“Good riddance. I know a really pretty, long-haired handsome T⁵. She’s single, her ability is ice, and she’s rather aloof. I’ve observed her for a while; she maintains a polite distance from everyone. She’s more reliable than Helian Yun. I’ll introduce you two someday…”

As Su Wenwen listened, she gave a helpless smile. Just as she was about to interrupt Wang Xuan to say she already had a girlfriend, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Luo Xi’s cold gaze, up close and personal. Then, a soft warmth pressed against her lips. Although it was a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface⁶, a touch-and-go peck, it carried a rather strong sense of aggression.

Being kissed in front of someone else, Su Wenwen’s cheeks instantly felt scorching hot, and she was a little too embarrassed to look at Wang Xuan.

“Pardon me, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Luo Xi, Luo Ling’s younger sister, and also Wenwen’s girlfriend.”

“Hello…”

Wang Xuan greeted Luo Xi, secretly observing her features. She wasn’t one to judge by looks, but a person’s first impression always lingered on their appearance. Luo Xi’s facial features were as if they had been meticulously carved, giving off a somewhat ethereal and unapproachable feeling.

That was why when Wang Xuan first saw Su Wenwen and Luo Xi standing together, her mind hadn’t gone in that direction.

Who would have thought? Truly, who would have thought?

Wang Xuan couldn’t help but give Su Wenwen a thumbs-up. Seeing this, Su Wenwen felt even more embarrassed to tell Wang Xuan that Luo Xi used to be the white moonlight in Helian Yun’s heart.

Never mind, it was better not to bring up the past.

After dinner and seeing her guests off, Su Wenwen returned to the living room to pack up the lunchboxes, wipe the table with a cloth, and then went out to throw away the trash.

She felt as if there was a tail behind her. When she turned around, she saw Luo Xi following her, step for step, as if afraid of losing her, only feeling at ease by watching her at all times.

Su Wenwen knew that Luo Xi was acting this way probably because she had been provoked by what Wang Xuan had said.

“Don’t mind her, my best friend’s mouth is just without a cover⁷.” Su Wenwen took Luo Xi’s hand and glanced at the gauze on it. “Let’s go back. I’ll change your dressing for you.”

Back in the room, Luo Xi sat on the edge of the bed. Su Wenwen took out a first-aid kit from her spatial backpack, knelt before Luo Xi, and carefully began to unwrap the gauze.

This was one of the benefits of living at the lab: the power never went out. Under the soft light of the desk lamp, she could clearly see that the wound on Luo Xi’s hand had stuck to the gauze a bit and had to be peeled off little by little.

The process was rather slow, but Su Wenwen showed no impatience. On the contrary, she was extremely focused, afraid that any quick movement would pull on the wound and cause pain.

Luo Xi had been watching Su Wenwen the whole time. Her fair skin glowed like milk under the warm yellow light. A light touch of her fingers confirmed it was just as smooth as she had imagined.

“Don’t mess around,” Su Wenwen said, turning her head away.

Luo Xi smiled. “I kind of understand why my mom didn’t tell my dad the real cause of his death.”

“My brother actually quite likes Luo Tianyang. Every time he argues with Grandpa, my brother goes to stay at Luo Tianyang’s house for a couple of days. Seeing his expectant look just now, I really can’t bear to tell him the truth. At least, I can’t let him know right now.”

Su Wenwen looked up at Luo Xi. “The Commander-in-Chief also told me that you shouldn’t say anything about Luo Tianyang for now.”

Luo Xi nodded.

Her brother was very smart. Even if she didn’t say anything, he would be able to discover it himself, slowly following the clues and peeling back the truth bit by bit. That would be easier to accept than having his entire perception overturned at once.

At least, that’s how it was for Luo Xi.

If Ji Qingshuang had directly told her back then that her father had been killed by Luo Tianyang, she probably wouldn’t have believed it. She might have even confronted Luo Tianyang directly without any evidence.

Ji Qingshuang understood her, so she chose to bear it all in silence. Even when Luo Xi called her a coward, she never once tried to defend herself.

“Wenwen, I don’t want to wait anymore.”

This out-of-the-blue sentence made Su Wenwen blink, looking at Luo Xi in confusion.

“Rather than wait for him to make a move, why don’t we take the initiative and lure him into the trap?” Luo Xi lowered her head and whispered in Su Wenwen’s ear, “Using your best friend’s ability…”

Listening to Luo Xi’s plan, Su Wenwen felt it was highly feasible, though it would more or less expose Lin Wan to some uncontrollable risks.

However, waiting passively like this also came with its own uncontrollable risks. Weighing the pros and cons, it was better to hold the initiative in their own hands.

“Alright, I’ll talk to Wang Xuan tomorrow.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Su Wenwen shook her head. “No, one of us has to stay by Lin Wan’s side. Wang Xuan is my best friend, so let me…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Luo Xi took Su Wenwen’s earlobe between her lips, causing her to suck in a sharp breath. She stammered, “Don’t… don’t move. I haven’t put medicine on your hand yet.”

“My hand is fine. You, on the other hand, were sitting so close to Wang Xuan just now, whispering secrets. If it weren’t for my good hearing and interrupting you in time, would you have, all muddled and confused, gone off to a blind date with that handsome T?” Luo Xi licked her ear.

“How is that possible…” Su Wenwen’s ears were very sensitive. Just a few kisses and her body felt weak, barely able to support herself with her hands on either side of Luo Xi. “Weren’t we talking about the plan? How did it get sidetracked to someone else?”

“Things are divided into light and heavy, slow and urgent. My wife is about to be stolen away, which matter do you think is more important?”

Su Wenwen hadn’t even met the person, so how could she be stolen away? She wanted to retort, but when she opened her mouth, what came out was a faint gasp.

A hazy, rosy color also coated Luo Xi’s eyes. She had just reached out to pull the other woman onto the bed when she was pushed away by Su Wenwen.

“Look at you! I told you not to move!” Su Wenwen saw that the wound on Luo Xi’s wrist had split open. She quickly got up, grabbed some disinfecting cotton, and began to clean the wound.

She was a little angry, angry that Luo Xi didn’t take good care of herself and made her worry.

After re-bandaging the wound, Su Wenwen said in a cold voice, “If you move recklessly again, I’ll make a bed on the floor⁸.”

Hearing this, Luo Xi nodded with a muffled sound.

Su Wenwen fetched water for Luo Xi to wash up. Only then did the two of them take off their clothes and lie down on the bed. Once the desk lamp was turned off, their vision was plunged into darkness, and they could only tell if the person beside them was asleep by the sound of their breathing.

Luo Xi’s breathing remained erratic—sometimes light, sometimes heavy. She tossed and turned, but sleep wouldn’t come.

Although Su Wenwen lay perfectly still, her thoughts followed Luo Xi. She couldn’t quite tell if Luo Xi was unable to sleep because she was still aroused from earlier, or if it was because of jealousy.

She was a little too embarrassed to ask. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally spoke slowly, “If you’re really uncomfortable, I can help you.”

Luo Xi was just thinking about how she had misunderstood Ji Qingshuang for so many years, and her heart felt heavy. In the silence of the night, she couldn’t help but recall the times she had been needle-point to needle-point with her⁹.

Useless, cowardly, foolishly filial¹⁰—these were the words Luo Xi used most often to describe Ji Qingshuang. Luo Xi was feeling remorseful when Su Wenwen’s words suddenly diverted her attention.

“Oh? And how would you help?”

Su Wenwen felt her face burning as if it were on fire. Fortunately, it was dark and nothing could be seen. She slowly shifted under the covers, following the scent and inching closer to Luo Xi, placing a kiss on her lower abdomen…
