The Honest Working Stiff Catfished Online (12)

Xue Ci was completely dumbfounded.

Blood rushed to her cheeks instantly, stimulating her skin to turn a peach pink, and her eyes and brows were filled with shame and embarrassment.

Her lips were bitten, and when she released them, a wet mark quickly appeared, soft, ripe, and rosy.

She'll probably look like this after being kissed.

A bit dull, a bit slow.

Before you can even react, your tongue will be eaten.

Bai Wu looked away and sincerely apologized to the other person, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had those thoughts about you."

Then he saw Xue Ci lower her head, her fingers, hidden by her large wizard robe, twisting her cuffs, her gaze fixed on her toes.

They seem to be hesitating about whether to reconcile.

Bai Wu was inherently sensitive, and even though his personality had changed a lot after he became aware of himself, he would still unconsciously try to please the people he cared about.

Actually... I have a medical condition, but I haven't told you because I was afraid you would look down on me if you knew.

Xue Ci was stunned.

Even though the game's built-in model was being used, he could sense that Bai Wu's expression had darkened.

"I... I won't look down on you."

He was initially just a little angry, mainly because he regretted the level he had worked so hard to raise. But when he heard "Crow" say that, he immediately softened.

There isn't much information about the scammer; all he has is a fake young master identity.

However, Xue Ci could guess that the other person was not happy in the adoptive family.

He walked over and patted "Crow" on the shoulder, as if to comfort him, "You don't need to apologize anymore, it's alright... we're alright."

Bai Wu, who was considering whether or not to mention "oralism," suddenly paused.

Xue Ci didn't wait for him to reveal his illness before forgiving him; instead, she reconciled with him and said she didn't mind.

Bai Wu's heart was pounding.

Xue Ci may seem slow-witted, but in reality, she is able to sense other people's emotions.

They allow others to get close, and are also easily swayed by emotions.

Bai Wu stared at that face, admitting that his attraction wasn't solely due to its beauty.

Because Xue Ci is a very innocent and kind-hearted fool.

That's why he deeply attracts people like him who have given up trusting the world and closed themselves off emotionally.

Bai Wu took Xue Ci's hand, lifted it up, and gently placed a kiss on the back of her hand.

Before the other person could react, he put his hand back, but didn't let go, instead holding the person tightly between his fingers.

The female model's hands aren't large enough to completely enclose Xue Ci's palms.

Bai Wu felt it was a bit of a pity.

"I'm glad you're not angry. Let's go fight a boss, and I'll help you level up, okay?"

His voice was deep, yet tender and gentle.

The two walked down the street, their atmosphere resembling that of a young couple who had just made up after a fight but were too shy to speak up.

Of course, this idea is only Bai Wu's personal opinion.

Xue Ci hadn't thought that way before; it was only now that she realized it that she was struggling with the question—what kind of illness could make someone so eager to kiss others...?

The Fragment of space were going crazy at the sight of this atmosphere.

Especially after Xue Ci showed an expression of admiration towards the Bai Wu with its tail feathers spread out.

Ultimately, whether it's them or the men in the world, they are all on the same level at this moment.

But they were afraid that Xue Ci might fall for one of them.

This would be a fatal blow to them; it would drive them insane.

The room used to lock them up had been completely destroyed. Upon seeing this, the system Xiao Qiu went black and immediately ran to complain to its host.

Xue Ci looked at 11, who was tugging at her trouser leg and yelling that he couldn't even fly with his wings, and hurriedly logged off, taking off her holographic glasses and disabling the mute function.

[That man is faking it, honey, don't be fooled!]

Looks like I've met a master.

[Honey, don't listen to his nonsense. What illness would make someone miss their family?]

I think it's just itchy!

[Go to the hospital if you're sick. Don't pay attention to him, baby. He'll definitely end up tricking you out of your money.]

[I'll definitely say again later, "Baby, I'm having a seizure, can I come in and warm up?"]

The Fragment are desperately trying to discredit the "green tea" man.

However, seeing Xue Ci's stern face, they all immediately shut up.

"You've destroyed 11's house..." Xue Ci comforted 11, and casually bought it a penguin-themed outfit at the mall. 11 wore it and showed it off to them.

Well, how should I put it?

It's ugly.

I'm so envious.

The Fragment promised Xue Ci they would rebuild the room, and humbly asked her to come and visit the space once a week.

Xue Ci agreed.

Soon, he felt a warm energy brush against his cheek.

After the band finished their last song, the audience was still not satisfied.

The band is called Rose, and they've recently become very popular online. They play their songs quite well, and the members are all young and handsome.

The bassist, in particular, is cool, handsome, and tall, and is considered by fans to be the epitome of the band's aesthetic.

The audience below the stage was still cheering, and several young men backstage were extremely excited.

Are we about to become famous?

"Before, only a few people would come to see us, but now all the tickets are sold out."

"Thanks to Brother Sheng's new songs!"

The friends picked up the sheet music.

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were heartbroken.

"But does living in a rented apartment really inspire creativity? For the sake of our band, Brother Sheng, you have to stick with it!"

The person they were teasing casually draped his long legs over the ground, leaned back in his chair, and rapidly typed on his phone screen.

[A few packages arrived while you were at work, and I signed for them for you.]

What time do I get off work?

Want to have dinner together tonight?

After sending the last message, Chu Juesheng immediately clicked "recall".

Another one.

It was withdrawn again.

After going back and forth several times, he scratched his hair in frustration, and his carefully styled hair instantly became a mess.

What's wrong? The group was a little worried about Chu Juesheng. They couldn't get him to come out for anything except for performances lately. They heard he'd become obsessed with a certain game.

"You're wasting your life, Brother Sheng."

Aren't you going to drink with your buddies tonight?

Chu Juesheng ignored them until a message popped up in the chat box. He immediately stood up, casually slinging the bass behind his back. "Not going out tonight."

He then left in a hurry, leaving only a cold, distant figure behind him.

Why are you acting like you have a wife at home?

"If you're playing games, it's probably not about online dating, is it?"

"Brother Sheng looks like a sucker; he's probably been scammed."

"It's bad enough if they scam you out of money, but what if they scam you out of other things..."

The members of their band were all childhood friends with Chu Juesheng and knew each other well. In the past, when they talked about certain topics, Chu Juesheng showed some disgust and said that he would not do such things casually and would definitely save them for his wife after marriage.

They could never have imagined the consequences if they were scammed.

The group huddled together to discuss the matter and finally decided to check out the rental property when they had time.

Chu Juesheng had ordered dinner after receiving Xue Ci's message, but when he arrived at the apartment, she hadn't gotten home yet.

He cleaned the room and looked through the crack in the door several times.

After knocking on Xue Ci about it that day, they met in the kitchen the next day. Xue Ci simply greeted him but didn't explain anything.

In short, he's the only one who cares about it terribly.

Xue Ci probably has a boyfriend.

The other party is quite wealthy; they gave me quite a few gifts.

He guessed that the two might still be in a flirtatious relationship, or perhaps they were in a long-distance online romance.

If they were just colleagues, or if it were easy for them to meet, it would be impossible for them not to ask Xue Ci out on a date.

He observed that Xue Ci never went out at night.

Chu Juesheng felt strange. Even though the other person already had someone they were dating, why was he still trying to get attention from Xue Ci?

For example, he couldn't help but send messages every few days, or he would deliberately take off his shirt before coming out of the bathroom while Xue Ci was waiting to use it.

There's one more thing that can't be ignored --

He's been having a lot of physical reactions lately; sometimes, just seeing Xue Ci's face in his mind can trigger these symptoms.

Chu Juesheng was only 18 years old and didn't understand love, but he felt that since he cared so much, he must like Xue Ci.

But Xue Ci has a boyfriend again.

Chu Juesheng annoyed, experiencing hundreds of mood swings every day.

I was so tormented that I couldn't sleep well.

Sad songs kept coming one after another.

The knocking sounded, Chu Juesheng put aside his random thoughts, immediately got up, scratched his hair, and then opened the door with feigned composure.

Xue Ci must have just gotten off work; she was still wearing a shirt.

The contours of her slender waist were clearly outlined.

Chu Juesheng glanced at it uncontrollably. "You... you're off work? I ordered dinner and sent you a message."

Xue Ci was taken aback. "I didn't check my phone... Did you order again? Didn't you say it was my treat this time?"

Chu Juesheng is four years younger than him; he should be the one taking care of the other.

"It's alright, you can treat me next time." Chu Juesheng waited for Xue Ci go back to her room, change her clothes, and wash her hands before coming over.

The two sat close together on their stools, and a light rain began to fall outside.

The air conditioner in the rented room was newly replaced by Chu Juesheng, and it was very cool. He handed his clothes to Xue Ci, and the two chatted while eating. Somehow, the topic turned to dating.

Chu Juesheng seemed very interested in dating, asking more than a dozen questions.

After Xue Ci finished answering, she seemed to realize something. "Do you want to be in a relationship?"

Chu Juesheng's shoulders stiffened. "... It's alright."

Xue Ci: "That's good. You should study hard at your age."

"..."

Hearing him speak to him in that tone made Chu Juesheng feel even less hopeful, and he remained silent afterward.

As they were finishing their meal, Xue Ci noticed he hadn't eaten much and was about to ask if he was full when he spoke first, "Do most people like someone younger than themselves?"

Xue Ci thought about it seriously, "I think age shouldn't be a factor, I mean if we're adults."

Chu Juesheng: "So, do you think it's wrong to go after someone you like?"

Seeing Xue Ci his head, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as if he had made up his mind.

Xue Ci assumed he was just asking out of curiosity and didn't think much of it.

He had to leave on a business trip the next evening, so he didn't stay long. After washing up, he went back to his room to pack his luggage.

"Crow" knew he was going on a business trip and thoughtfully reminded him what to bring.

Their relationship is progressing very quickly, as you can tell from the progress bar.

Every time Xue Ci asked what the other person needed, all they would say was photos or old clothes.

The scammers weren't after his money; instead, they transferred money to him and gave him lots of equipment in the game, which would amount to six figures in-game currency.

Xue Ci was puzzled.

However, since the "Crow's " unusual behavior didn't affect the progress bar, he didn't think much of it.

No matter how much money you transfer, you'll likely end up losing both your principal and interest to him.

Xue Ci accepted the money without a second thought.

[Baby, is your closet full? You can send me the clothes you don't wear anymore.]

"Crow" has bought him a lot of clothes lately, and with limited space, there's an extra bag of old clothes.

After Xue Ci a message to "Crow," the other party immediately called a courier to come to her door.

The old clothes were taken away in less than five minutes.

Xue Ci was unaware that he thought the clothes donated to the orphanage were all neatly stored in "Crow's" wardrobe.

I go through several items every day.

When his oral fixation kicks in, Bai Wu will bite down hard on the fabric until all the veins on his body disappear, then he will go to the bathroom covered in sweat with his clothes on.

Bai Wu will not come out for another hour or two.

He was only wearing a bath towel, and the old clothes he had taken inside had been washed, but unfortunately, the smell would completely disappear after they were dried.

Bai Wu's oral fixation became increasingly severe under these circumstances.

After sending Xue Ci a message telling her to be careful on her business trip, his eyes gradually darkened, and a certain desire welled up within him.

The most distressing condition is when two symptoms occur simultaneously.

Bai Wu's eyes were bloodshot, and he sniffed around the wardrobe like a madman, but every single item had been washed.

There is no odor on it.

It cannot quench thirst.

Bai Wu's Adam's apple bobbed as he sniffed carefully, finally finding a piece of clothing that still retained a faint fragrance.

He buried his face deep in it, his teeth gripping the hem of his shirt.

His breathing was labored and labored.

The veins all over his body were bulging.

However, this did not solve the strange illness.

The man, his face contorted with rage, opened the photo album and flipped through the saved pictures repeatedly.

not enough.

That's not enough.

He longed to hold the real Xue Ci in his arms, to hold her close, and to gently bite her.

He desperately wanted these.

Bai Wu is not a very secure person. Whenever Xue Ci is late in replying to a message, he can't help but feel anxious and insecure.

What is he doing? Is he chatting with other men when he ignores him?

Have you ever been pursued by a colleague? Do you smile at others?

What if Xue Ci finds out he's a man and breaks up with him after they meet again?

Bai Wu's face turned cold, his lips pressed tightly together.

Another message was sent. "[Baby, what are you doing?]"

Xue Ci just finished packing her luggage when she discovered that she already had more than ten unread messages.

He opened the chat window and quickly browsed through it.

He then told the other party that he had just finished packing his luggage.

A message came quickly from the other end.

[Baby, can I call you?]

Xue Ci startled.

Did the scammer buy a voice changer?

During those few minutes of his hesitation, the person on the other end was pleading with him.

[Baby, I want to hear your voice, okay?]

The voice call came in very quickly.

Xue Ci answered the call uneasily.

"Hey." Xue Ci was actually afraid that "Crow" would suddenly speak. He didn't dare to ask the other party anything and kept talking about his own things, not giving the other party a chance to interrupt.

A few minutes later, he heard heavy breathing from the other end.

"... Crow?"

The call was quickly disconnected.

On the other end.

There was a hint of satisfaction in the man's dark eyes.

"Xue Ci."

He repeated it again in a hoarse voice.

"... Xue Ci."

His voice was filled with intense possessiveness.

It's as if they want to completely tear a person apart and swallow them whole.

Bai Wu even maliciously wondered how Xue Ci about this.

Of course he wouldn't dare.

He didn't even dare to meet her in person; he could only be Xue Ci's online love interest.

Bai Wu took all of Xue Ci's clothes out of the wardrobe and sniffed them greedily.

He murmured, "Baby, if you knew I had this disease, would you be afraid of me?"

Actually, it's not scary.

It's just a little difficult to swallow.

Author's Note:

That's terrifying.

And in the next chapter, she'll meet the baby disguised as someone else.

In the chapter after that, we'll meet at the hotel.

It's so scary, baby... baby's going to be eaten! [heart emoji]
