Shu Yu: "..."
She knew it. There was no hiding from this.
This time, she had walked right into Si Yiheng's hands.
The good news: her life was spared. The bad news: she was caught red-handed lying to Si Yiheng.
Si Yiheng's gaze was fixed directly on Shu Yu. His expression was indifferent, seemingly unfazed.
But Ye Ning knew Si Yiheng well. She knew that he was extremely angry right now.
An angry Si Yiheng calling Shu Yu over made Ye Ning feel like he was a tiger about to devour a little lamb. If Shu Yu went over, it would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's den.
Ye Ning stepped forward bravely, blocking the space between Si Yiheng and Shu Yu. "Brother, I'm the one who brought Shu Yu out to play. If you want a life, take mine! Don't take Baby Yu's life."
Shu Yu: "!!!"
Ye Ning was so loyal and righteous.
Since Ye Ning was being so loyal, Shu Yu couldn't justify being ungrateful. She gently pulled Ye Ning's hand away. "Ningning, don't stop him. It's my fault."
Si Yiheng: "..."
Now he was being made out to be the bad guy.
Si Yiheng stepped forward and gently grabbed Shu Yu's hand. "Come with me."
Shu Yu: "Okay."
Ye Ning still wanted to step up and try to stop Si Yiheng, but he shot her a cold sidelong glance. "Ye Ning, do you think you're off the hook?"
Ye Ning instantly felt as if she had been choked.
Oh, right.
They were both going to die anyway, so there was no point in arguing about who went first.
Ye Ning thought that after Si Yiheng finished teaching Shu Yu a lesson, he would let her go and immediately come back to teach her a lesson. Unexpectedly, Si Yiheng just drove away.
Ye Ning: "?"
Si Yiheng took Shu Yu away, so was she supposed to walk home?
Or did Si Yiheng mean she didn't need to go home at all?
Just as Ye Ning finished this thought, a car drove over and stopped in front of her. "Miss Ye, Young President Si asked me to take you back."
Ye Ning: "Oh, okay. What about my friend?"
Si Yiheng's assistant Xiao Wang gave Ye Ning a complicated look. "Young President Si will personally take care of your friend."
Ye Ning: "!!!"
Ye Ning became even more anxious. "Drive faster! I need to save my friend. My brother is so fierce, he's going to eat her alive!"
*
Sitting in Si Yiheng's passenger seat, Shu Yu didn't dare to speak or even look at him. She even lightened her breathing.
She tried hard to minimize her presence, hoping Si Yiheng would forget she was even there.
Si Yiheng remained silent, his whole body exuding a very low, oppressive aura.
Shu Yu grew even more afraid.
Shu Yu: "Iron Egg, I'm doomed."
Iron Egg wanted to scream too. It and Shu Yu had anticipated meeting Si Yiheng early and had even mentally prepared for it.
But looking at it now, they still hadn't prepared enough.
Shu Yu: "Will Si Yiheng break his promise and break up with me?"
Shu Yu was on the verge of tears.
She had stepped on all of Si Yiheng's landmines. He liked people who didn't cause trouble and didn't require him to clean up their messes.
And what had she done? Not only did she lie to him, but she also went street racing with Ye Ning and almost got into an accident.
Shu Yu secretly turned her face away.
Tears rushed out of her eyes. They didn't even need time to brew; just thinking about Si Yiheng was enough to open the floodgates.
The tears wet her long eyelashes, making her look even more pitiful.
Like a little puppy that had been bullied mercilessly.
Iron Egg: [Baby, don't cry, it's okay!]
Shu Yu secretly wiped her tears. "My tears have a mind of their own."
From the corner of his eye, Si Yiheng saw Shu Yu curled up pitifully. With her head bowed, she was cautiously wiping her eyes, her movements gentle as if afraid of drawing attention.
A black checkered handkerchief was handed over.
Si Yiheng: "Stop crying, Xiao Yu."
Shu Yu blinked and quickly took the handkerchief from Si Yiheng's hand. She wiped her tears and explained in a small voice, "I didn't really want to cry, I just have a bit of a tear incontinence problem."
Si Yiheng: "I know."
Si Yiheng continued driving. Shu Yu was in no mood to watch the changing scenery outside, nor did she care where he was taking her.
Si Yiheng hadn't immediately condemned her to hell, leaving Shu Yu to figure out a way to struggle for survival.
Shu Yu: "Iron Egg, how do we save ourselves now?"
Iron Egg: [Baby Yu, wait a moment, I'll go look for Senior Laozi's guide.]
Shu Yu nodded frantically. Right now, looking for a guide was her only option.
While Iron Egg was searching for the guide, Shu Yu slowly steadied her emotions, sitting obediently in the passenger seat without daring to speak.
Iron Egg: [I'm back!]
Iron Egg panted, [This isn't a big problem at all. Fifty percent of hosts used hugging and kissing. You just need to block Si Yiheng's mouth and kiss him until he's dizzy with desire, and he'll let you go. Aroused men are very easy to talk to.]
Shu Yu blinked in disbelief. "Kiss Si Yiheng until he's dizzy with desire? Iron Egg, are you talking about me?"
"On the internet, I might act like a bold girl, but actually doing it in real life is a bit too hard for me."
Iron Egg looked at Shu Yu's bright red ears and suddenly felt that this might indeed be difficult for her.
Iron Egg: [Then just give Si Yiheng a hug.]
Iron Egg: [Hug him, and then obediently admit your mistake. But this doesn't guarantee the final result.]
Shu Yu's face twisted into a mask of pain. "Egg, what did the other fifty percent of hosts choose to do?"
Iron Egg: [The other fifty percent chose to be unreasonable, whoever is louder is right. They strike first and blame the other party. However, this has a high probability of leading to a cold war, and a small probability of a direct breakup. It randomly triggers the chasing the wife/husband in the crematorium trope.]
Shu Yu: "..."
First of all, she didn't dare fight with Si Yiheng.
Secondly, if they really fought, she would probably be the one triggering the chasing the husband in the crematorium scenario.
The difficulty of her mission would skyrocket.
In conclusion, the safest bet was still to kiss Si Yiheng until he lost his mind.
The car stopped. Shu Yu closed her eyes briefly. Alright, there was no more time to hesitate.
Si Yiheng got out from his side, then came over to open the door for Shu Yu. She got out of the car and nervously glanced up at his expressionless face.
That handsome face was extremely cold and very intimidating.
Shu Yu bit her lip. She was going all in.
