Chapter 17: The Bishoujo Writer Falls Into a Frenzy
After updating 2,000 words today, Mu Yi did something she had never done before. She added another 8,000 words.
In her whole history of writing light novels, except for the day her book first went on sale, she had never updated this much.
The comment section exploded with excitement. Even readers who usually stayed silent came out to speak.
Some long-time followers reacted with mixed feelings, saying, “Honey, what’s wrong with you? Suddenly updating this much, it’s not like you.”
Some readers who loved saving chapters were overjoyed. “So this is the legendary ‘flood of updates’! Good, good, very energetic!”
Some who always saw Mu Yi as a role model were shocked. “You’re too strong! Can you lend me a few extra hands to write like this?”
Some people who appeared in every comment section said in a cute tone, “Don’t overwork yourself, health is the most important! But… is there more coming?”
But Mu Yi didn’t know any of this.
After learning from many experienced writers, she had developed a habit of not reading the comments.
At this moment, Mu Yi was still sitting on the sofa. She tilted her head and seriously imagined what would happen later. It was like many little bubbles were floating above her head.
Inside those bubbles were all kinds of scenes she imagined.
Today, she had worked hard on writing. Not for anything else, but to win Gu Zhiren’s favor. Then she would tell him that all her effort was for him.
And finally, make a heartfelt confession!
Just thinking about how Gu Zhiren would react after her confession made her excited.
As her imagination kept growing, more and more bubbles appeared above her head. The scenes inside became richer, funnier, and more exaggerated.
For example, Gu Zhiren losing his composure, clenching his teeth, stomping his foot, and storming out the door!
The more she imagined, the more she swayed left and right, her red eyes curving into a smile. The corners of her mouth lifted, and she laughed happily, even making funny snorting sounds.
Honestly, she hadn’t felt this excited in a long time.
Just as she was laughing, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Yi quickly stopped laughing, composed herself for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled softly before getting up to open the door.
…………………………
“Miss Mu Yi, the manager still has work to handle, so he asked me to bring your package first. He will come personally around 7 PM.”
“Oh, I see.”
Looking at Xiao Xi outside the door, Mu Yi lowered her eyes slightly and let out a quiet sigh.
“……”
Sensing her disappointment, Xiao Xi frowned slightly and became even more sure of his guess. His expression turned a bit helpless.
“Let me do it. Your hands are still injured, right?”
Seeing Mu Yi reaching out to take the package, Xiao Xi smiled politely and said.
“Ah… thank you.”
Mu Yi gave a small smile.
Her hands were almost healed, but she still needed to pretend they weren’t.
………………………
After closing the door, Mu Yi used two fingers to hold a small blade and absentmindedly cut open the tape on the box. She felt a bit disappointed that Gu Zhiren would only come in the evening.
It was only 1 PM now.
There were still six hours before he arrived.
She sighed, glanced at the box, then put down the sharp blade. Using both hands, she gently opened it and took out the underwear wrapped in a black bag.
The underwear had been chosen by Gu Zhiren, five pieces in total. The price was reasonable, a little over 300 yuan.
Her current savings were just enough.
Her writing payment had arrived two days ago. After paying off her online credit bill early, she still had about 4,000 yuan left.
One advantage of living far from the city center was that, with careful spending, 4,000 yuan was enough for a month’s living expenses.
But now that she had become a girl, even if she didn’t spend any money on beauty care or buy the pretty clothes that girls usually like, her daily expenses would still increase a lot.
Mu Yi tore open the package and took out a light blue bra.
There were no extra decorations. Simple, but with a youthful, girlish style.
“Mm…”
Thinking about wearing it, Mu Yi frowned slightly, and her hands trembled a little.
She had been avoiding this all along. She said she didn’t want to think too much, but in truth, she just didn’t want to face it.
But you can only avoid things for a while, not forever.
The resistance in her heart kept growing, as if she was holding something too hot to handle. The pressure made her purse her lips.
It was just underwear. Wearing it wouldn’t hurt her. In fact, not wearing it made going outside inconvenient.
She didn’t like going out and being looked up and down by men with greedy eyes. Their gazes felt like they wanted to strip all her clothes off.
Maybe real girls might enjoy that kind of attention, the feeling of men being crazy about them.
She sighed, then walked to the bathroom with the bra in hand and quickly took off her down jacket.
She bent slightly, held the straps with her fingers, gathered her courage, and put it on. Then she reached behind her back and, with some difficulty, fastened the hooks.
Honestly, Gu Zhiren had a good eye. He got the size right just by looking.
The middle hook fit perfectly.
And his gaze wasn’t like other men’s…
“Probably because he’s seen a lot,” she muttered. “He looks like someone who has a very active social life.”
But she didn’t envy his life at all. His family was clearly very strict, and she disliked that kind of environment.
Mu Yi narrowed her eyes, quietly complaining in her heart.
Her hand moved to her slim waist. She took a deep breath, lifted her gaze, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face turned slightly red, and her eyes lit up.
Mm.
She stared at herself quietly for a while.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she tried hard not to laugh.
“Wow, whose girl is this? She’s so pretty! Even more beautiful than famous beauties from history or top actresses. Even supermodels would be jealous!”
She touched her forehead with her fingers, struck a charming pose, and shook her head helplessly.
After acting a bit silly like this, the white-haired girl quickly put her down jacket back on because of the cold and hurried back to the sofa.
But when she thought about how she looked in the mirror, she couldn’t help smiling again.
If she didn’t think about all the changes that came with becoming a girl, it actually felt like she had gained something…
She sank into the soft sofa and closed her eyes. But suddenly, an image appeared in her mind.
The bra she had just fastened being undone by a pair of hands.
Those hands controlled everything about her, taking everything from her.
In a tense and suggestive atmosphere, unclear and improper sounds seemed to echo.
The friction of clothes? A clash of shapes?
Creak, creak.
The moment she clearly saw the face of the person…
Mu Yi suddenly opened her eyes.
Huh?
Gu Zhiren?
She froze for a second, her cheeks turning red, and quickly covered her chest with both hands.
“…Hah.”
Mu Yi shook her head and decided not to think too much about it.
It was probably because she had been around Gu Zhiren too much lately and kept thinking about him.
“Five more hours… am I just going to wait like this?”
Looking at the time on her phone, an idea suddenly came to her, and her eyes lit up.
Maybe she should order some nice takeout and create a good atmosphere for her confession!
Five hours passed quickly.
As soon as she heard a knock on the door, Mu Yi bounced over, placed one hand on her chest to calm herself, and then reached out to turn the doorknob.
