Pitiful Widower (10)

After Xue Ci reading, she kept twisting the hem of her skirt with her fingers.

The soft flesh was rubbed red, and her lips were bitten until they were wet, but she was still too embarrassed to speak.

The three men present all turned their gazes to him.

Fu Chengsi crossed his arms, his expression seemingly unchanged; Qin Zhou's ears were turning red, and he would immediately look away when his gaze fell on Xue Ci's fair and delicate insteps; Lu Min's eyes, hidden by his hair, were full of anticipation.

Xue Ci's intimate encounters were all related to him.

Lu Min coughed, his voice tinged with shyness. "How about... how about we change it? Let's draw another one?"

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief and was about to extend her finger when she heard Fu Chengsi chuckle, a wicked and playful glint in his eyes. "Can't take a joke?"

Having been involved in the business world for many years, understanding personality traits was effortless for Fu Chengsi.

Besides, there's nothing to guess about Song Xueci; she's just a clueless idiot who wears her heart on her sleeve.

Stupid people can't handle a backlash.

He knew what tone and words would make Song Xueci willingly expose her belly to him.

really.

They've taken the bait.

"Just kiss..." Xue Ci's fair face had turned pink, her knees bent, curled up like a cat.

His skin was already flushed red, and after holding back for a long time under the gaze of several people, he could only utter a few words: "Hug and kiss."

Fu Chengsi casually reminded him, "Details."

"I know!" Xue Ci retorted angrily, forcing back the heat rising on her face. "You kept sucking my tongue, it got so sore. It lasted too long, it's a little uncomfortable..."

He really didn't know what to say, his voice trembling pitifully. "Is... is it okay?"

"Alright, alright! That's enough." Lu Min comforted him by taking his hand, but frowned because of Xue Ci's earlier comment about not feeling well.

Was Xue Ci feeling unwell before?

He assumed Xue Ci was going to die of pleasure just like him.

Looks like I need to practice more in the future.

Lu Min gripped Xue Ci's palm tightly, and his back suddenly straightened.

At least, the other two knew that Xue Ci had already kissed him.

The game progressed as planned, and Xue Ci was relatively lucky afterward.

However, a large part of this luck was due to Lu Min deliberately losing to him.

Taking the opportunity, Xue Ci leaned close to Lu Min's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Thank you, husband."

... How could Lu Min possibly stand this?

The remaining people had all lost before; Lu Min and Qin Zhou chose dare, while Fu Chengsi chose truth.

The problems on the cards remain strange.

"What's your favorite position?" Qin Zhou clicked his tongue as if watching a spectacle. He wasn't really good at talking about these kinds of adult topics, but seeing everyone else so calm as if they were talking about eating and drinking, he just pretended to be one too.

He also took the opportunity to put Song Xueci down. "President Fu, this question shouldn't be difficult for someone your age, right?"

Fu Chengsi could certainly tell.

Qin Zhou insulted him again, implying that he wasn't a virgin.

Fu Chengsi, being so picky and sharp-tongued, would readily conclude that no one is good enough for him, let alone whether someone is a virgin or not, and that no one has ever even liked anyone.

He glanced at Song Xueci.

The young male servant was also looking at him, his expression somewhat blank.

Her cheeks were rosy.

Her skirt lay scattered to the side, like a kitten taking a nap.

She's so innocent-looking, it's hard to believe she's someone who frequently hooks up with men.

Fu Chengsi looked away. He didn't care whether Song Xueci misunderstood or not; he just felt it was necessary to tell her that he was still a virgin.

They have very high standards when it comes to having sex.

So, don't mess with him.

"Although I haven't tried it yet," the man said slowly, "I think it would be more exciting to lift someone up to a glass window, with their feet off the ground, and do it from behind."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere seemed to thicken.

Whether inspired by Fu Chengsi's words or not, the group of people, without thinking of anything, all turned their naked gazes to Xue Ci.

Xue Ci pulled her toes back into her skirt.

He felt his scalp tingle from Lu Min's stare, but luckily Lu Min's body blocked the scorching gaze in time.

*

Xue Ci dragged the players along for another day.

But this can't go on forever.

After taking a shower, he was worrying about how to ask for several days of leave when Lu Min suddenly hugged him from behind and pulled him into the house.

This guy, I don't know where he got such strength. He looks tall and thin, but when he exerts himself, he's all hard.

Xue Ci felt uncomfortable against the soft flesh, and when she entered the house, she found the floor covered with paper bags.

"I bought you clothes and jewelry." Lu Min had never been in a relationship, and Xue Ci didn't have much time to date him, so he could only buy her things. "Is there anything else you need? I can save up some more points and buy you a watch."

Lu Min is truly a hopeless romantic; he gave him all his savings after only knowing him for a few days and even while they were still in a secret relationship.

Xue Ci felt a little guilty and kissed him on the corner of his lips. "Thank you, husband."

Every time Xue Ci called him "husband, "Lu Min would immediately respond with "in," though of course he didn't dare say anything. He then asked Xue Ci how long she had lived there and whether she had ever been to school.

Aside from the fact that she had a husband, Xue Ci explained her basic situation, "I am an orphan, grew up in a slum, only went to school for a few years, and then supported myself by doing odd jobs little by little."

He wasn't feigning helplessness, but his calm tone only made him more pitiful.

The fate of NPCs is beyond their control.

In the context of the entire game, Xue Ci is merely a string of cold, insignificant data.

Lu Min gripped his hand tightly. "I've been modifying code lately."

Wh-what?

Xue Ci tensed up. Lu Min was a tech geek, and although one person's strength was limited, he might just change the ending of the game one day.

We can't clear the game that early.

He took a deep breath and feigned confusion.

Lu Min: "Do you know you're a character in a game world?"

Xue Ci shook her head, bewildered.

Lu Min felt a dull ache in his heart and said with pity, "Your fate is already set. I recently found out that you will marry a very old man, and that old man will do those things to you every day."

He'll die soon, and you'll be a widow.

"...!"

Their entire family's assets are almost exposed!

Xue Ci's eyelids twitched, and she grabbed his hand. "No, no way!"

"I will only marry you, my husband."

Lu Min blushed slightly, seeing that Xue Ci completely believed him. "In short, I will take you away without affecting this world."

Xue Ci's heart pounded with anxiety. Her eyes darted around as she tried to stall him. "Then can you help me find my biological parents? I want to leave this place without any regrets."

Lu Min would certainly not refuse such a request.

Ke Xue Ci is a succubus, so her biological parents must also be succubi.

He had a direction in mind, so he told Xue Ci a break and then took the dirty clothes into a basin to wash.

*

"Hmm..."

Xue Ci was held in someone's arms. The other person was cold, but their mouth was very warm, constantly sucking on his tongue.

The sticky fluid was licked away, leaving his lips wet, and he felt the man gently pecking at his lips again.

It was handled very gently and with great care.

"Who... who are you?"

The man's aura was cold, and he didn't answer his question, only continuing to touch him.

His movements were slow, but the force of his blows was steady.

Xue Ci was already exhausted, her arms and legs limp as she was carried by the other person.

He lowered his eyelashes and heard the man's low, husky voice calling him "Xiao Ci" one moment and "wife" the next.

Was she... her deceased husband?

Xue Ci, her whole body tensing up.

But then she heard the other person's breathing become erratic. "Baby, relax."

Xue Ci felt like a small block of ice, slowly melting away under the other person's intense heat, the melted water trickling out.

It has a rich, sweet aroma.

Xue Ci was completely exhausted and struggled to see the other person's face clearly.

But the man's strong features gradually blurred into a hazy mist, as he gently stroked her cheek with his cool fingers.

"Don't let anyone touch you."

Xue Ci a start.

Lu Min, who was sleeping on the floor next to the bed, seemed to have been awake for a while. "Xiao Ci, are you... alright?"

After turning on the light, Xue Ci wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Her fluffy hair was completely soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks, making her look pitiful and fragile.

Lu Min immediately fetched hot water and gently wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Xue Ci regained her senses, her voice muffled and wet. "Did I wake you up?"

Lu Min: "No, no! I woke up on my own."

Then, he added worriedly, "But you really have been talking in your sleep."

Xue Ci couldn't remember what she said, "What did I say?"

Lu Min's eyes darted away, but after Xue Ci questioned him seriously again, he finally spoke.

"Say things like... it's very deep, very bloated, my stomach is bulging..."

Wh-what?

Xue Ci's skin instantly flushed pink. She pushed Lu Min's hand away and awkwardly shrank back into the blanket.

I don't know if it's just psychological.

He felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, as if something was on it.

So that's what the dream was like.

Xue Ci closed her eyes, but she still felt uneasy.

The content of the dream was probably somewhat sad.

Seeing Xue Ci like this, Lu Min comforted her, "Everyone experiences this. I... I dream too."

"It's nothing."

He patted Xue Ci's back and coaxed her back to sleep.

*

When Xue Ci much more awake and finally remembered that she had dreamed about her husband.

She had no information about her deceased husband. The person in her dream was very tall and could easily lift her onto his lap; his arms were also strong and powerful.

He had been thinking about this for a while and Joel to go out to buy groceries.

Lu Min was worried about him and stayed with him.

Xue Ci naturally handed over the task of buying groceries to Lu Min, and then jogged along the street outside the market.

Upon arriving at a hotel, he asked the receptionist, "Is someone named Bill checking in? I'm his friend."

The small hotel was not yet aware of the importance of protecting guest information. "He stayed in the second room on the right-hand side of the third floor."

Xue Ci said thank you and quickly went upstairs.

After finding the room, he knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Standing at the door for a while, people passing by stared at him—this dark-haired boy from the East looked completely different from them; he was small in stature with a slender waist, as if he could be lifted up with one hand.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful.

Many people became interested in Xue Ci, and some of the bolder ones went up to chat with her, lingering around her Xue Ci refusing to leave.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his collar from behind with such force that it almost tore him apart.

The man who had approached the woman was thrown against the wall with a dull thud. Unfortunately, the man who threw him was tall and had a menacing look on his face, so he resigned himself to his bad luck and slunk back to his room.

Bill looked much neater than when we first met.

His hair was cut short, revealing a sharp jawline and a shallow scar on his forehead. He had changed into a black shirt, casually revealing two buttons, and the veins on his arms bulged from the force he had just exerted, exuding a strong aura of masculinity.

Where did you go?

Xue Ci complained, "I've been waiting for you for so long."

Bill thought to himself, "I've been waiting for you for so many days," but seeing Xue Ci's puffed-up cheeks, he swallowed his words.

The hotel rooms were small, poorly furnished, and had low ceilings; Bill had to bend down to enter.

Xue Ci guilty, thinking she had wronged the other party.

After all, Bill was so easily fooled, yet he's still obediently following orders and has been waiting for him here for the past few days.

"I haven't been able to leave the house lately, so I'd appreciate it if you could stay here for a few more days." Xue Ci didn't have much time, so he took out the money he had prepared. "I'm here today to talk to you about something important."

Bill stopped pouring water and glanced at his snow-white palm.

He joked, "Even though it's my first time, it's not worth that much."

?

Xue Ci looked at him blankly.

Unsure of Bill's cryptic message, he put the money back on the table and offered his prepared explanation. "I was actually sick."

Bill's expression turned serious. "Didn't your rich husband help you get treatment?"

Xue Ci continued to lie, "It's not a serious illness, I just forgot things from before."

Bill squinted.

Xue Ci has used countless sweet words to swindle him out of his savings for a wife; who knows if what she's saying now is true or false.

Besides, didn't we come here to talk about serious business?

Is it necessary to add this prefix?

He wasn't sure whether to believe it or not. "So when I grabbed you before, you didn't recognize me because you had amnesia?"

Xue Ci: "I don't remember you, and I don't even remember my husband."

No wonder they changed it again in such a short time.

"..."

Ignoring his sarcasm, Xue Ci went straight to the point. "Can you tell me my husband's name, and how I met him?"

"Who are you referring to? The one you scammed out of money at the church entrance? The one you held arm-in-arm with that day?" Bill sneered. "Or the one who's been standing downstairs at the hotel with a bag, waiting for you?"

"..."

Xue Ci lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "Did Lu Min come to see me...?"

Bill wasn't cooperating, so he had no choice but to give up. "I have to go now, I'll come back to see you in a few days."

I only stayed for a few minutes, and didn't even touch the bed.

What does this place belong to him? What does it mean to him? Someone who can come and go as they please?

Bill, his face cold, called out to Xue Ci, "His name is Erland, he's a wealthy nobleman."

Erland?

Xue Ci immediately asked 11 to look up the name.

He turned back, his voice a little urgent. "Anything else? What else do you know?"

"That's it." Bill crossed his arms. He had always done manual labor, and his body was all muscle; his shirt bulged at the chest. "You've been preventing me from seeing him, so that's all I know."

Xue Ci in surprise, "You've never seen him before?"

Bill recalled slowly, then paused for a moment, as if remembering something. "Oh, I saw him once. You brought him back to our house when I wasn't there."

Xue Ci pursed her lips, a bad feeling creeping over her.

really--

"I saw you straddle him, your waist held tight, and you were crying softly."

Bill's tone was laced with considerable malice.

I don't know if I deliberately lied to him or wanted to see his reaction after hearing this.

Xue Ci suppressed the heat on her cheeks and pretended nothing was wrong, saying, "I'll come see you again in a few days."

"Wait a minute."

Bill picked up the money on the table and strode over. "Take this."

Xue Ci: "You need--"

"When did I ask you to take care of me?"

Bill resented the money, as if he were being sold.

He shoved the money into Xue Ci's palm with a vengeance, mocking, "Go find your new husband, don't keep him waiting."

Seeing that he insisted on not taking the money, Xue Ci slowly took it back and then took out something else from her pocket. "Do you need this?"

Bill was taken aback when he saw it.

These were the candies he used to love.

Didn't you have amnesia? How do you still remember this?

After treating him like a dog, they tried to bribe him with this little bit of candy.

Only fools get fooled.

Bill's brow furrowed tightly.

In the end, I accepted the candy.

With a complicated expression, he stiffly stuffed the candy into his pants pocket, but something fell out.

It landed right at Xue Ci's feet.

Xue Ci over.

It's a small rubber balloon.

He was about to pick it up when 11 screamed wildly: [Host, don't touch it!!!!]

Upon hearing what it was, Xue Ci immediately withdrew her finger.

He straightened up and looked at Bill in disbelief.

Bill casually picked up the "little balloon" from the ground, probably pleased with his reaction, and scoffed, "We won't need it today."

Wh-what...

Xue Ci and too angry to speak.

He awkwardly stepped back, not daring to look at what the man was holding, and questioned, "Why... why did you buy this...?"

"We don't need this."

Bill lifted his eyelids, his gaze full of aggression, his tone self-deprecating.

"Would you really want me to get it inside you?"

Author's Note:

I am very aware that I cannot leave any trace.

She has such a strong sense of being a mistress.
