The Two Women Become Yanderes in a Dream

Nara Luling slowly lifted her lowered head, a flicker of guilt in her eyes as she cast a cautious glance toward Shi Xiu.

That single look made her heart tighten, for she saw that Shi Xiu's already stern face was now as dark and terrifying as the sky before a storm.

Nara Luling felt her heart pounding, as if a little rabbit were thumping wildly inside her chest.

Nara Luling forced a smile, trying to mask her inner unease and embarrassment, but the expression looked even more wretched than tears.

Nara Luling stammered to Shi Xiu, "Shi... Shi Xiu-sama, everything I said just now... it was all just sleep-talking! Hehehe... please, you really mustn't take it to heart!"

After speaking, she scratched the back of her head, attempting to appear innocent.

Shi Xiu stared intently at Nara Luling's incredibly awkward display. Although the anger in his heart was still burning fiercely, for some reason, it gradually began to subside as time passed.

Perhaps Nara Luling's comical expression had played a part in that.

In the end, Shi Xiu sighed helplessly and gave a gentle shake of his head.

With a gaze that was both exasperated and amused, Shi Xiu kept his eyes on Nara Luling, then pointed a finger toward the door, his tone slightly dissatisfied but relatively calm.

"Alright, alright, just get out! I need to get some proper rest now; I don't have the time to mess around with you here."

Upon hearing this, Nara Luling felt as if she had been granted a pardon and secretly rejoiced.

The heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled back into place, and she felt a sudden sense of relief.

With a long exhale, Nara Luling sprang from her seat with lightning speed, nimbly bypassed Shi Xiu, and bolted toward the door like a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, she vanished outside, leaving only a trail of hurried footsteps echoing through the room.

Shi Xiu quietly watched Nara Luling's slightly panicked retreating figure, a look of helplessness crossing his face as he shook his head once more.

Afterward, Shi Xiu slowly turned around, preparing to straighten his pillow.

However, just as he was about to lie down, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—his pillow had just been held between Nara Luling's legs!

Shi Xiu sighed in resignation and decided to set the pillow aside for the moment.

Then, Shi Xiu slowly lay down on the bed, trying to drift off to sleep as quickly as possible.

Yet, without the support of the pillow, Shi Xiu tossed and turned, unable to find rest. No matter how he adjusted his position, he could not find a comfortable state for sleep.

Finally, unable to endure the torment any longer, Shi Xiu gritted his teeth and sat up, his gaze involuntarily drifting toward the lonely pillow at the bedside.

After a brief internal struggle, Shi Xiu decided to pick up the pillow and place it under his head after all.

As Shi Xiu lay back down, he subconsciously twitched his nose.

Whether it was just his imagination or not, he seemed to catch a faint, lingering fragrance emanating from the pillow.

The scent brushed against his nostrils like a soft breeze, plucking at his heartstrings and leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

Time flew by like a wild horse, and in the blink of an eye, dusk approached.

Shi Xiu, who had been deep in slumber, suddenly sat bolt upright as if he had been severely startled. His body trembled with fear, and he gasped for air, as if trying to expel all the stagnant energy from his chest.

"My goodness! That was absolutely terrifying!" Shi Xiu muttered to himself, his heart still racing as he swallowed hard to soothe his parched throat.

Shi Xiu's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead; clearly, he had not yet fully recovered from the nightmare.

As it turned out, Shi Xiu had just had a horrific dream. In the dream, he had finally found a way to return to Blue Star after enduring countless hardships. Overjoyed, he had eagerly said his goodbyes to Minato and the others.

However, what Shi Xiu never expected was that on the night before his departure, such a disaster would occur.

That night, Nara Luling and Reina, those two seemingly gentle and lovely women, had secretly drugged him.

When the drug took effect, Shi Xiu felt his entire body go limp, his limbs devoid of strength, leaving him unable to resist their brutality.

Then, something even more terrifying happened: Shi Xiu watched helplessly as his own hands and feet were ruthlessly broken, after which he was imprisoned by the two of them.

Recalling it now, the nightmare remained vivid, sending shivers down Shi Xiu's spine.

Shi Xiu couldn't help but think to himself, "Isn't this the legendary 'yandere' transformation?"

As the saying goes, falling in love with a yandere is a dramatic story, but if one is unfortunate enough to be loved by one, it becomes an absolute catastrophe!

Shi Xiu slowly lifted his head, casting his gaze toward the darkening sky outside the window. He took a few deep breaths, struggling to calm the turmoil within and trying to steady himself.

After resting for a moment, Shi Xiu slowly sat up. He stretched his arms wide and loosened his limbs, which had grown stiff from lying down for so long.

Once his body had recovered slightly, Shi Xiu stood up and walked toward the door with heavy steps.

When he reached the threshold, he immediately saw Nara Luling standing quietly outside.

Nara Luling was wearing a pale purple dress, her figure graceful and standing tall.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring her silky hair and the hem of her dress, making her look like a beautiful painting.

Nara Luling felt quite uneasy; she had asked Kushina for advice on this outfit, and as it was her first time wearing such a dress, she felt extremely self-conscious.

But every time Nara Luling thought about what Kushina-sama had said—that Shi Xiu-sama would surely forgive her if she dressed like this—she wondered if it was true or not.

However, Shi Xiu was in no mood to appreciate such beauty, for the moment he saw Nara Luling, he couldn't help but think of the terrifying nightmare he had just experienced.

A chill rose from his spine, causing him to shudder violently.

Still, Shi Xiu took a deep breath, trying to appear calm and composed.

Shi Xiu put on an indifferent expression, looked at Nara Luling, and asked, "You haven't been standing here waiting for me the whole time, have you?"

Upon hearing Shi Xiu's question, Nara Luling was slightly taken aback before quickly lowering her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Nara Luling twisted her hands tightly together and replied with a slightly trembling voice, "Lord Shi Xiu, I... are those words you said before about forgiving me still valid?"

As she spoke, Nara Luling's cheeks flushed slightly, making her look even more charming and moving.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the orange-red afterglow spread across the earth like a soft velvet blanket, gently falling upon Nara Luling as well.

The warm light gilded her entire figure with a faint golden radiance, making her appear all the more delicate and touching.

Shi Xiu gazed quietly at the Nara Luling before him, his thoughts drifting involuntarily back to that dream.

The delicate yet twisted yandere expression Nara Luling wore in his dream had been deeply branded into Shi Xiu's heart.

To nip any potential hidden dangers in the bud, Shi Xiu secretly made up his mind to have an honest and open talk with Nara Luling.

He took a deep breath, beckoned to Nara Luling, and said in a gentle tone, "Luling, come over here for a moment. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

When Nara Luling heard Shi Xiu's call, a crimson flush instantly bloomed across her cheeks.

She lowered her head slightly, nervously fiddling with the hem of her clothes, and walked slowly toward Shi Xiu with a hint of restraint. Every step was cautious, as if she were afraid of disturbing something.

As Nara Luling drew closer, a faint, familiar fragrance drifted into Shi Xiu's nose like a gentle breeze.

This elegant scent made Shi Xiu feel a trace of awkwardness; he instinctively reached up to rub his nose, then cleared his throat, trying his best to make his voice sound natural.

"Luling, let's consider the past as water under the bridge; I have already forgiven you. It's just... I wanted to ask, why are you wearing an outfit like this today?"

Hearing Shi Xiu's question, Nara Luling's already flustered state of mind fell into complete disarray.

She hurriedly looked up, her eyes darting around as she gazed at Shi Xiu, and stammered, "I... Lady Kushina told me to wear it this way. Lord Shi Xiu, do you... do you not like it?"

Shi Xiu watched Nara Luling's small face, which had turned bright red from nervousness, and ultimately shook his head against his better judgment to explain.

"It's not that; it looks quite good. It's just... if others see you dressed like this, it wouldn't be good if it caused any misunderstandings between us."

When Nara Luling finished listening to Shi Xiu's words, her mood instantly felt as though it had been pressed down by a heavy stone, becoming somewhat weighed down.

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart, causing an inexplicable tightness in her chest.

Nara Luling knew exactly what Shi Xiu meant by "misunderstandings."

She parted her cherry lips slightly, as if wanting to say something—perhaps to tell Shi Xiu that she didn't care at all about those so-called misunderstandings.

However, the words reached her lips only to be swallowed back down. In the end, she could only lower her head in resignation and softly reply, "I understand, Lord Shi Xiu."
