The Cuckold Universe

An Nuan is usually very jealous, and she even turns Liu Chang'an Chang'an's face towards her when he sees Liu Yuewang's back.

Sometimes, even when Liu Chang'an's eyes could see both her legs and Liu Yuewang's legs at the same time, she would still insist on turning his face towards her.

She was always very self-conscious about Bai Hui's bust size, so she wanted to grow bigger so that her boyfriend's eyes wouldn't be drawn to Bai Hui's chest.

But today, Qin Yanan was completely naked, yet she didn't care about anything else and called Liu Chang'an over.

This is what Liu Chang'an always found so endearing about her: kind-hearted, warm as a spring breeze, and never indulging in selfishness without any limits.

If someone else were accompanying Qin Yanan today, the way things would be handled and dealt with would be completely different.

Hypothetically speaking, if it were An Nuan who had the accident today, Liu Chang'an also believed that Qin Yanan wouldn't have harbored any ulterior motives that would have delayed things. It is only in the face of matters of principle that the distinction between good and evil can be made.

This is why Liu Chang'an isn't particularly bothered by An Nuan and Qin Yanan's mutual jealousy; it's because they're unlikely to do anything to each other that Liu Chang'an would find intolerable.

"How could she do this?" An Nuan was completely baffled. Her boyfriend's diagnosis was that Qin Yanan was fine, An Nuan felt that Liu Chang'an must have his reasons, but this was still beyond reason, leaving An Nuan puzzled and confused. "I've only ever seen jokes about girlfriends who deflate, but those are dolls, Teacher Qin can't be inflatable."

"Well... this isn't an illness, but it involves someone's health, so I can't explain too much to you, because Qin Yanan might not want you to know." Liu Chang'an held An Nuan's hand, gently squeezing each finger, and looked up at her with a smile. "Don't worry, go soak for a while longer."

"How could I possibly be in the mood for a hot spring bath... It's really frightening. What if something had happened to Teacher Qin by herself tonight when we weren't here?" An Nuan asked worriedly. "Won't she do this again? Fainting for no reason at such a young age, maybe there's some underlying problem. My mom said so."

"Your mom is right about that, but her problem is a bit special. It's not life-threatening, so you shouldn't worry about it." Liu Chang'an released her finger and patted her little volleyball. "Be good, stop asking so many questions, you're like a curious child."

"Who pats someone on the butt and tells them to be good? That's lewd!" An Nuan blushed and took two steps back.

"We're in a relationship. If I don't seduce you, wouldn't that mean you lack feminine charm? Then you'd start having all sorts of wild ideas." Liu Chang'an looked at his palm, still wanting more, and said, "Come here, let me pat you again, be good!"

"No!" An Nuan pointed at Qin Yanan, both amused and annoyed. "Can't you be a little more considerate of the situation? Teacher Qin is still dizzy!"

"Oh, it's really nothing. I didn't do anything outrageous. Compared to others, I just came out of the bath with only a towel around my neck. Of course I was tempted... Are Liu Chang'an saying that you can be provocative, but I can't harass you?"

"You... who are you calling slutty!" An Nuan's cheeks flushed red. As a pure young girl, how could she accept such a description? Even if she was called a repressed slut, she wouldn't accept it, let alone such an arrogant insult as being openly slutty.

"You."

"Liu Chang'an, you... wait until I get dressed before I settle the score with you!" An Nuan was furious and instinctively wanted to grab Liu Chang'an and knock him to the ground, but she didn't even have a pair of underwear. An Nuan rationally gave up the idea of settling the score with him immediately and ran to get dressed first.

Liu Chang'an watched her run out, holding the hem of a bath towel and swinging her two exceptionally long legs, and couldn't help but smile.

This was the most exposed she was in front of him; the hem of the bath towel just barely covered her hip line, revealing the girl's beautiful legs in their entirety.

That's really long.

Liu Chang'an turned around, lifted the band-aid off Qin Yanan's arm and looked at it. The scar had indeed disappeared. So Liu Chang'an carefully pressed the band-aid again and put it back on.

Good skin is great; even a reapplied band-aid stays put.

"Hey, how much longer are you going to be unconscious?" Liu Chang'an asked.

Qin Yanan didn't answer him; he was still dizzy.

"You were already awake when I carried you to bed to check on you, weren't you?" Liu Chang'an leisurely pulled up the bath towel to cover her legs. Luckily, the bath towel was big enough to be used as a blanket.

When Liu Chang'an carried her to the bed, her legs were slightly apart, but now they were tightly closed, clearly indicating that she did not want to be exposed when her body was only covered by a bath towel.

Qin Yanan remained silent, feeling incredibly embarrassed, especially since this had happened in front of An Nuan.

Your chest is leaking air!

These words made Qin Yanan feel utterly humiliated. What was originally her most valuable asset, which she intended to use to completely overwhelm An Nuan, was now a tragedy, much like the newly built dam of the South Asian Empire, which was touted as surpassing the Three Gorges Dam, only to be immediately washed away by a flood.

Most importantly, her figure had shrunk, and Liu Chang'an saw it... If you can't understand, put yourself in his shoes; if a man felt the same way... that's probably how he would feel.

"You've recovered." Liu Chang'an understood why Qin Yanan wouldn't open her eyes. He patted Qin Yanan shoulder, feeling that plump, soft sensation again. "When I rushed into the bathroom just now, I almost thought it was the old Jin'er, but now your figure has completely returned to normal... I suspect that the changes in your appearance after your rebirth are related to Shangguan Dandan. Why don't you find some time to ask her why your figure is more voluptuous than the old Ye Sijin?"

Liu Chang'an didn't know the extent of life modification that Shangguan Dandan could achieve using that coffin, but considering Shangguan Dandan's unconventional thinking, it was possible that she had modified the body of the former Ye Sijin, which is why Qin Yanan's figure is different from Ye Sijin's now.

Besides, there is no other explanation for Qin Yanan's physical changes, which are different from the mutations of Zhu Juntang, the wild boar, and others.

Shangguan Dandan was convinced that Liu Chang'an had a special fondness for his wet nurse, so it wasn't surprising that he would do something like making Qin Yanan's breasts fuller than Ye Sijin's.

This is probably why Qin Yanan's physical condition is not stable, and at times she will "shrink" to resemble Ye Sijin's original appearance.

This isn't because Ye Sijin wants to take over Qin Yanan's body again... Without a ghost, how can there be a replacement? At most, the memories won't be accepted, and the past memories will interfere with the present thoughts and emotions.

Qin Yanan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes a crack to check the height of the towel covering her chest.

It seems to be the same as usual.

She closed her eyes again, a blush spreading from behind her ears, like a spring breeze brushing by ink, a flower blooming for a fleeting moment.

"Are you withdrawn? That's good. Then you and Shangguan Dandan can form a withdrawn duo. You two were quite close to begin with." Liu Chang'an sighed softly. "Yesterday afternoon, Shangguan Dandan took a kitchen knife into her room, and she hasn't come out since I left this morning... Do you know why she hasn't come out? Because she's worried about having housework to do, which she neither knows how to do nor wants to do, so she's simply withdrawn. She's probably still lying in her coffin."

Qin Yanan bit her lip, almost bursting out laughing. She really liked Shangguan Dandan. Firstly, Shangguan Dandan could keep Su Nanxiu in check, and secondly, the little empress dowager was really quirky and cute.

Just then, An Nuan ran in. She lunged at Liu Chang'an, grabbing his neck to knock him to the ground, but then noticed something strange about Qin Yanan beside her.

"What happened? Did you re-inflate her?" An Nuan looked at Qin Yanan, who had recovered, in surprise.

Even with a large bath towel covering her, the feeling of her legs and chest was different from when she was deflated in the hot spring.

It was the current appearance that made An Nuan feel more threatened and uneasy. The original version of her, which had lost weight, was similar to An Nuan's figure, except that her chest was a bit larger. But this chubby appearance was what An Nuan hated the most.

Why does a woman have to be born this way? Isn't it good to have some flaws? For example, not to have such big breasts, a slightly thicker waist, or shorter, thicker legs... I've heard that thicker legs reduce the risk of diabetes, so isn't that a good thing?

Just like An Nuan, it's not perfect, and that's why it's perfect!

"I didn't inflate her." Because Qin Yanan was actually awake, she just felt embarrassed and didn't want to open her eyes, which Liu Chang'an found amusing. "A doll couldn't be made to look like her."

"How could you not do it? You might even do it very well." An Nuan said indignantly, implying that her boyfriend meant Qin Yanan's figure was perfect and flawless.

This is practically a rebellion! An Nuan bent down to meet his gaze, letting him see the fierce glint in her eyes.

"Because at this stage, to make a life-size doll like Qin Yanan, the key is the support capacity of the internal skeleton. Generally, in order to save costs, manufacturers cannot use expensive lightweight alloys or new materials. The most common is the metal skeleton, plus the external wrapping material. A doll of this height may weigh more than 60kg." Liu Chang'an pointed to a solid wood cabinet next to him.

"Why are you pointing at the cabinet?" An Nuan had a particularly strong interest and curiosity in this kind of knowledge, and quickly asked.

"The cabinet is an inanimate object; it's very difficult to move it. But it's always easy for me to carry you. Even though you weigh almost 60kg, you cooperate with me. As long as I exert a little force, move my hand or waist, or pat your bottom, you'll adjust your position to make it easier for me to lift you. It's not that I'm strong; it's just that you're a living being, and living beings are much easier to use." Liu Chang'an said, patting An Nuan again.

An Nuan was both shy and curious. She was both embarrassed and angry as she accused Liu Chang'an, "What... what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I can adjust my position? Let me tell you... I never move at all."

"What do you mean, 'not moving'? What are you thinking? I was just talking about when I was holding you, nothing else." Liu Chang'an loved seeing An Nuan's exasperated yet secretly excited expression, which she insisted on maintaining as a pure and innocent young girl.

"I didn't... I didn't think about anywhere! Nothing at all! What I mean is, even if you pick me up, I won't move an inch and I won't cooperate!" An Nuan quickly declared loudly.

"That's what I mean... Dolls are inanimate objects too. A 60kg doll is heavy for a normal person to hold, but you should know the purpose of dolls... So, for practical reasons and to meet consumer demand, manufacturers won't produce dolls with Qin Yanan's height and proportions," Liu Chang'an concluded.

An Nuan asked shyly and excitedly, "How do you know all this? Have you bought it before?"

"Do I need it?" Liu Chang'an asked An Nuan.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" An Nuan quickly took a few steps back, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant. "Go buy a doll! I... I won't... I won't let you use it!"

Liu Chang'an laughed heartily.

Seeing him laugh, An Nuan knew perfectly well that he didn't believe her statement at all. Enraged, she pounced on Liu Chang'an, hugging his neck and lowering her head to bite Liu Chang'an head, shouting, "I'm going to bite you to death!"

"Ouch..."

Just as An Nuan was about to have a big battle with Liu Chang'an, a groan came from the side. An Nuan hurriedly turned her head and saw that Qin Yanan was opening her eyes.

"Teacher Qin, she's awake..." An Nuan said to Liu Chang'an with a mixture of surprise and joy, and quickly released Liu Chang'an's neck.

"If it were me, I would have woken up too after listening to you sobbing all the time," Liu Chang'an praised, indicating that it was An Nuan who had saved Qin Yanan.

"You guys... what is this...?" Qin Yanan's eyes were confused, as if she had no idea what had happened. She looked down at the towel on her body and reached out to lift it off.

"Teacher Qin, you just fainted in the bathroom." An Nuan quickly explained, and seeing Qin Yanan about to lift the bath towel, she quickly stood in front of Liu Chang'an and reached out to stop Qin Yanan from doing so.

Oh no, Qin Yanan was indeed inflated! Her breasts have swelled up again and returned to their original shape!

Qin Yanan's gesture of lifting the towel was merely a feint; seeing An Nuan's gaze, she finally regained her authority to suppress An Nuan.

"This is an old problem of mine, nothing serious. It's a kind of muscle spasm, and it makes me look like I've shrunk a bit," Qin Yanan explained to An Nuan.

"Oh, I see." An Nuan didn't think much of it. She couldn't possibly have such wild imaginations that she thought An Nuan was a doll that had come to life... Anyway, there are so many strange and unusual illnesses in humans, this isn't the strangest one.

For example, Professor Liu has an inexplicable physical condition of being forever 18 years old, which is much stranger than Qin Yanan's.

"Your ability to spout nonsense is no less than mine." Liu Chang'an laughed admiringly, "Muscle spasms... not bad."

A man's chest is made of muscle filler.

"You know again? You know again? You know again?" An Nuan reminded Liu Chang'an seriously, "Since Teacher Qin's health condition is an old problem, she must have been checked. Do you know more than the doctor?"

"Liu Chang'an... don't talk nonsense with An Nuan!" Qin Yanan warned. She didn't want An Nuan to know about her affairs, even though she was curious about An Nuan's reaction after learning that she and Liu Chang'an had been plotted against by Su Nanxi... but she decided against it. These things were too complicated and went beyond the scope of jealousy.

"Teacher Qin, do you still need to go to the hospital to get checked out?" An Nuan ignored Liu Chang'an, bent down, and carefully tugged at Qin Yanan's bath towel here and there.

"No need... You guys go and rest. I'll get up and take some medicine myself, you can go out now." Qin Yanan was actually a little embarrassed. She wouldn't feel awkward if it were just An Nuan or Liu Chang'an alone, but with the two of them standing in front of her and her only covered by a bath towel, it felt quite awkward.

"Okay, call us if you need anything." An Nuan quickly pulled Liu Chang'an out. Since Qin Yanan was alright, Liu Chang'an shouldn't linger in the room for even a second longer.

The door had just closed when Qin Yanan grabbed a bath towel and stood up. Liu Chang'an must have done it on purpose, comparing her to some doll! He must have been teasing her because she was pretending to faint and refusing to wake up!

You said the doll didn't move at all? How dare you... You were the one who didn't move at all back then, but it didn't affect your and Su Mei's use of it at all!

That bastard brother!

An Nuan and Liu Chang'an walked out of the room. An Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that nothing terrible had happened tonight!

But her eyes then looked aggrieved, and she pouted as she looked at Liu Chang'an with a pained expression.

"I feel like there are circles of green holy light above my head," An Nuan hummed. "You don't know how much spring scenery you've seen; all that spring scenery you've seen has turned into green light on my forehead."

"This counts as green? Then you're already a green universe." Liu Chang'an waved his hand. "There's a line in Kahlil Gibran's Sand and Foam: 'Reverend no hat reveal you...'"

"I know, it means that a person's true nature is the side he doesn't show you." Kahlil Gibran is one of Professor Liu's favorite literary figures. Sand and Foam is a classic that every high school student can read and recite many sentences from, both the original and the translation. An Nuan is no exception.

"One day, you will know that your essence is a green universe, filled with the green hats I gave you. Each green hat is a planet, and they form galaxies, filling your green universe." Liu Chang'an thought about the possible number of universes. Such universes might really exist. After all, there are only things that humans haven't thought of, not worlds that can't exist.

"Then I'll explode! The Big Bang! I'll recreate a universe without cuckoldry! No, I'll collapse with the mass of an entire universe into an unprecedented supermassive black hole, swallowing you whole. Let's see if your cuckolded universe is more powerful, or my supermassive black hole." An Nuan hummed, trying to sound impressive.

"It's not appropriate for a girl to compare herself to a supermassive black hole, because the implicit metaphor of a supermassive black hole is that it can never be filled..." Liu Chang'an laughed heartily as he looked at the blush on the innocent girl's face.

"You're finished! You cosmic sewer master!" An Nuan started her traditional punches and biting routine to torment Liu Chang'an again.

"Actually, I think many people don't understand the meaning of the word 'green' (cuckoldry). It's as if only couples who aren't complete blank slates and have no past experiences can be considered 'green'... But I think it doesn't matter what happened before they got together; it's only considered 'green' if one party cheats after they've gotten together." Liu Chang'an hugged the beautiful girl in his arms. "Still think you're the ultimate 'green hat universe'?"

"Yes!" An Nuan didn't really care about what had just happened. It was an emergency. If Qin Yanan needed artificial respiration or chest compressions, An Nuan wouldn't blame him. Saving lives is the most important thing. Who would be so narrow-minded? That's crazy!

An Nuan stopped hitting him and sweetly declared herself the embodiment of the green hat universe while biting Liu Chang'an's ear. She liked biting people, kissing him, and lightly pecking at his cheek with her lips.

Liu Chang'an gently held her, letting his hands roam freely, inhaling the fragrance of her hair. He moved his cheek closer, stopping her from kissing his face until it was covered in saliva, and asked, "Tonight, you won't dare sleep with Qin Yanan again, will you?"

"Mmm, ah, mmm," An Nuan whined.

"Then sleep with me," Liu Chang'an suggested reasonably.

An Nuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that although Qin Yanan's suite was large, it actually only had one master bedroom. The side bedroom had been converted into a study, and another guest room had been turned into a walk-in closet. Now there was only one guest room.

"No... You've already gone too far today. I'm starting to feel a little impure." An Nuan quickly pushed Liu Chang'an away, her eyes filled with shyness, as lively as a bird singing in the spring rain.

That slight impurity, of course, came from the fact that Liu Chang'an's hands had defiled the girl's body.

He actually made such a request! An Nuan's heart started racing! Just like the first time she skipped class with Liu Chang'an! Every time they did something bad, it was him who led them, and today he was eager to take An Nuan into another terrifying adult world!

She was so happy, every first time was with him, she was so grateful, she had no regrets in this life... But life is long, An Nuan wasn't ready yet, unless he forced her so hard that An Nuan couldn't resist and he got his way with tears in her eyes.

"Alright, go to sleep. I'll just make do on the sofa for the night." Liu Chang'an regretfully took a blanket and placed it on the sofa, then lay down, striking a pose reminiscent of a willow leaning against the breeze, and beckoned to An Nuan with his finger.

An Nuan ignored his flirtatious behavior, and defiantly pulled her collar open a little, bent over, then giggled and covered her face as she ran back to her guest room.

She claims she's not provocative, but... I really like her.
