Chapter 46: Really Getting Into It
Time went back to a few minutes earlier.
Mu Yi used a blunt truth to successfully grab the thugs’ attention.
After all, she was someone who had written a huge amount of words before.
Light novels and dirty stories could not even be counted separately.
Creating a perverted character in a short amount of time was incredibly easy for Mu Yi.
For example...
Mr. Gu liked men, but specifically men who liked dressing as women. And he would force female habits onto them, including making them use sanitary pads.
You thought the thing on it was blood? Wrong. It was just grape wine.
For another example...
Gu Zhiren had very high standards for his partner. The partner had to cooperate with him and be willing to play with all kinds of tools and games, including candles, handcuffs, and ropes.
And his energy in that area was especially strong. Every time, it made her small body feel like it was about to break apart.
Mu Yi acted with complete dedication.
The two thugs were unexpectedly experienced too. They had actually seen quite a few strange couples like this before.
They even gave examples of their own and told stories to Mu Yi.
And in the end, Mu Yi concluded everything by saying that despite all this, Mr. Gu was still the husband she loved most.
“Little brother, your life really isn’t easy...”
After sighing emotionally, the man with the stick patted the thick puffy jacket on Mu Yi’s shoulder.
“Looks like you really love your husband. Fine then, the two of us only want fifty thousand from you!”
“Honestly, I don’t really understand it, but me and big brother support you two. Keep working hard!”
The knife guy nodded seriously.
Hearing that, Mu Yi nodded with tears in her eyes and said,
“Don’t worry, my husband will definitely pay generously, because he loves me very much too.”
These two idiots were still just as easy to fool as before~
………………………………
Time returned to the present.
After knocking down the stick guy, Gu Zhiren clapped his hands lightly while turning to look at the stunned Mu Yi, whose eyes and mouth were both wide open.
“What are you standing there for? Call the police.”
Seeing that she had frozen from shock, Gu Zhiren unconsciously softened his voice and spoke more slowly.
“Huh?”
Mu Yi nodded blankly and answered with several “mm” while nervously taking out her phone.
She knew Gu Zhiren would never willingly hand over fifty thousand yuan, but she never expected him to fight this well. Just looking at those punches made them seem unbelievably painful.
She swallowed nervously.
Mu Yi was scared now.
If he found out she had created such a crazy perverted setting for him, would he use those fists on her too?
She would die. She would absolutely die from the pain!
Luckily, besides herself, everyone who knew the truth had already.
Suddenly realizing something, Mu Yi froze while dialing the number, and her face turned pale.
Call the police?
Wouldn’t that mean giving a statement and repeating the entire story...
More importantly, with how she looked right now, she absolutely could not go to the police station to give any statement!
Panic.
Her eyes quickly moved around.
She desperately tried to save herself.
At that moment, the knife guy, who had been knocked away earlier, slowly grabbed his knife again. Then he silently climbed back up, glaring fiercely at Gu Zhiren.
By accident, Mu Yi saw this scene. Her heart jumped, and she instinctively grabbed Gu Zhiren’s arm.
“Watch out!”
Mu Yi suddenly pulled him away. In Gu Zhiren’s sight, the knife instantly sliced across her clothes, tearing a long and deep opening from her shoulder to her back.
Luckily, the down jacket was thick enough, so her body was not cut.
The sudden situation shocked Gu Zhiren, making his pupils shrink slightly.
He quickly checked Mu Yi’s condition first. Then, in an instant, he grabbed the knife guy’s wrist tightly, forcing him to drop the knife with painful pressure.
Ignoring the man’s scream, his other hand gently rested on the girl’s head as he instinctively pulled her into his arms.
……………………………
Police station.
In the end, Gu Zhiren still brought the two thugs into the station and was currently giving a statement.
Outside the police station.
Mu Yi leaned sideways against a wall nearby while staring at the entrance. Her crimson eyes were wide and round, and her rose-colored lips were pressed tightly into a straight line.
She felt that she should hurry up and run away.
But where could she even go? Someone like her, who woke up one day and suddenly changed gender...
After thinking it over for a while…
Mu Yi still decided that running away was the best option!
Just as she was about to turn and escape, Gu Zhiren suddenly walked out of the police station, making her entire body stiffen in shock.
He immediately noticed her attempt to run away. Gu Zhiren lightly raised his chin and looked at her meaningfully for a moment before slowly walking over.
But instead of running again, the girl turned around.
She wore the expression of someone calmly preparing to face death.
“Let’s talk somewhere else. I have something I want to say to you.”
For some reason, Gu Zhiren found her a little cute. Lowering his eyes, he looked directly into Mu Yi’s eyes.
“Can’t we talk here?”
At this point, Mu Yi could not help secretly glancing toward the police station before quickly looking away again.
She wanted to pretend nothing had happened.
But of course, Gu Zhiren noticed her small actions. He also glanced toward the station, and an understanding expression appeared on his face as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Fine, then we’ll talk here. First tell me, why didn’t you go inside with me to give your statement?”
He could clearly feel how nervous she was right now, but he no longer planned to go easy on her.
“I... I have my own reasons.”
Mu Yi bit her lip.
“Fine. We’ll skip that question for now.”
As he spoke, Gu Zhiren frowned and seriously stared at Mu Yi’s eyes, which were avoiding his gaze.
“Then why did you tell those people...”
“I didn’t want to either! But the situation was dangerous back then. That was the only method I could think of!”
Mu Yi still did not have the courage to face him directly.
“You were lying.”
“I—I... I admit I had selfish reasons too, but I just wanted to enjoy saying it out loud for once. Fake things can’t become real. You’re angry now because I made you lose face, right?!”
She puffed up her cheeks and raised her face angrily. Her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed, and her full chest rose and fell heavily.
“Being called ‘husband’ by another man disgusted you that much, didn’t it? Hearing the stories I made up made you want to come out and hit me, right?!”
Hearing this, Gu Zhiren fell silent for a while, but the anger inside him became harder and harder to suppress.
“I just... hate that you lie!”
“So what if I lied? That was also a way for me to protect myself.”
At this point, Mu Yi gathered her courage and glared at Gu Zhiren while clenching her small fists tightly. Her voice became low and shaky.
“Anyway, you could never understand me, and I don’t need you to understand me either.”
“I hate you. I really hate you. Can you get out of my life already? You want to supervise me, right? Then I’ll just stop writing! I won’t write books anymore!!”
“Then would you still have any reason left to supervise me?”
Tears were already close to spilling from Mu Yi’s eyes. She wanted to push Gu Zhiren away because she did not want him to see her crying in such a miserable state.
“……”
Looking at the tears in her eyes, Gu Zhiren stayed silent for a moment before simply turning around and leaving.
Seeing how decisively he walked away, Mu Yi suddenly thought of something and panicked immediately.
“Huh? W-Where are you going? You’re not... planning to go back to Ganlan City by yourself, are you?”
“Can’t you go back on your own?”
Gu Zhiren did not turn around.
“But you clearly promised we would go back together! So you lie too?”
The moment he heard this, Gu Zhiren stopped walking.
Afterward, he still let Mu Yi get into the car. The two of them sat silently in their seats without saying a word.
After the car had driven for some distance, Mu Yi finally calmed down. Pressing her lips together, she secretly glanced at Gu Zhiren.
“Sorry...”
But this apology received no response.
