Chapter 26 Coaxing Mr. Yu to Sleep
Yu Nan forced herself to continue reading, and gradually noticed something was amiss.
The white-haired, red-clad female ghost is the owner of the villa, and she has transformed into a fishing cat.
Compare the update times of the last three chapters—wasn't it the day Zhu Yao moved in, when the novel started describing the villa?
interesting!
No way... This yuri (lesbian) story was written by Zhu Yao, right?
If this article contains both "Yu Miao" and "this cat," doesn't that mean my identity as Yu Miao has been exposed?
Perhaps Zhu Yao has already played the demo she created to torment players—a demo whose memory was mostly filled with an empty desert map.
No wonder when Zhu Yao saw the little boy wake up during the game today, she went straight out of the room, because there was nothing in the room in the demo.
Once there is even the slightest speculation, countless possibilities will be magnified, and countless clues buried beneath the truth will emerge one after another.
Yu Nan compared the update times and deduced that the author was a night owl, and that he only updated 1,000 words on the day Zhu Yao moved.
The author's note also confirmed Yu Nan's guess—she suddenly decided to move.
Furthermore, after moving, they changed their posting time from midnight to morning—which is their usual afternoon and evening schedule.
They both now take a nap at lunchtime, just like normal people do.
Things started to get interesting.
If I'm not mistaken, Zhu Yao is currently updating her story in her bedroom, and I can confirm it just by taking a look.
Yu Nan suppressed her inner impulse and decided to wait for Zhu Yao's latest chapter to update—what would she write about?
Yu Nan's excitement overshadowed her fear of reading supernatural novels, and she began to take a look at Zhu Yao's novel, becoming curious.
How about... you take a look at the novels written by Zhu Yao?
…
Meanwhile, Zhu Yao, unaware that her author identity had been revealed, was writing today's story.
Yu Nan's hidden world gave her a new idea. She described the villa as a passage between the living world and the underworld, through which one could come to the underworld—which is what Yu Miao called the underground world.
They even used their own invented feng shui knowledge to describe Yu Nan's villa as the most ominous place among haunted houses, saying that anyone who stays alone in a room will be dragged into hell!
Although Yu Nan's game is not yet finished, Zhu Yao is already happily creating derivative works.
After finishing the draft and putting it in the archive, it was almost noon.
Zhu Yao planned to have something to drink before going to bed, so she went out of her bedroom and downstairs to get a beverage from the refrigerator.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Yu Nan curled up on the sofa, hugging a cushion.
Seeing her come down, Yu Nan looked at her with a resentful gaze, which made Zhu Yao very confused.
Yu Nan was reading Zhu Yao's novel when she became increasingly frightened.
The book said that the living room of a villa was relatively safe, so Yu Nan came downstairs.
After all, she didn't want to spend even a second of that time in the bedroom.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Yao felt a little uneasy under that gaze.
“I…” Yu Nan wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to say it.
Are you suggesting I read your post, but it was too scary for me to stay upstairs?
Or perhaps you could question Zhu Yao about why she included yourself in the story?
"I... am scared."
In the end, Yu Nan only expressed her emotions.
"Did you watch something scary?" Zhu Yao walked over and sat down next to Yu Nan.
"Uh-huh"
Yu Nan lay half-reclined on the sofa, nodding frantically.
How strange! Are you afraid to watch it?
Zhu Yao didn't understand, but she still had to comfort her landlord.
"Then...would you like me to stay with you for a while?"
Anyway, today's chapter has already been saved in the draft box, so there's no need to worry about missing the full attendance bonus.
"Uh-huh!"
Yu Nan was unusually well-behaved, covering half her face with a pillow, only revealing her eyes as she looked at Zhu Yao.
It looks a lot like a cuddly fishing cat.
Zhu Yao's inner thoughts: I really want to pet him!
Let's have a chat!
Zhu Yao smiled sweetly, trying to dispel Yu Nan's inner fear.
Yu Nan felt as if her heart was melting.
Since she's writing a yuri (lesbian) story, it means Zhu Yao is at least not straight... So, does that mean I can pursue her?
Yu Nan inexplicably remembered a lame joke—
Straight women aren't worth it!
What? Straight women aren't straight?! Here I come!
"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Yao saw Yu Nan, who had just been cowering, secretly laughing. "Sneaking a laugh?"
"How dare you laugh!"
What should we talk about?
Yu Nan decided to take the initiative. She slowly lay down, rested her head on Zhu Yao's lap, and looked up at Zhu Yao.
The moment she lay down, she clearly felt Zhu Yao's body tremble.
"Hmm...anything is fine."
Zhu Yao felt a strong itch on her thighs—even though she often snuggled up to her niece, she had never had a girl use her lap as a pillow before.
At this moment, Yu Nan lay on her lap looking at her, leaving Zhu Yao momentarily at a loss.
"Let's talk about our romantic experiences," Yu Nan said with a gossipy look. "Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Zhu Yao was speechless. She only had one failed relationship experience, which was with her niece who was "temporarily" gay.
I guess so.
Zhu Yao smiled wryly, "It's just... the other person probably doesn't think that counts as dating, and in the end, I'm the only one who's serious."
"I'm not sure if it counts, but I'm afraid to respond to others easily now, for fear that they might be joking."
"So, who pursued whom first?" Yu Nan asked.
“She… pursued me first,” Zhu Yao sighed.
Yu Nan was basically certain—Zhu Yao had been confessed to by her niece and had taken it seriously.
"And you?"
Zhu Yao placed her hand on Yu Nan's head and gently stroked it.
It's like petting a large feline.
“I’ve never been in a relationship,” Yu Nan said with a hint of pride.
Yu Nan's inner thoughts: No exes online! Zero romantic experience! Sister, please look at me!
Zhu Yao was a little puzzled as to why Yu Nan, who had always been single, was so proud. Was he the legendary bachelor?
Why is Yu Nan's gaze getting brighter and brighter when she looks at me? It's like she's expecting something.
After sitting with Yu Nan in the living room for a while, it was noon, and it was time to persuade Yu Nan to go to sleep.
Yu Nan looked upstairs, a little hesitant.
It was alright having Zhu Yao with me in the living room.
Now that she needed to return to her bedroom, the demons and monsters from Zhu Yao's book reappeared in her mind.
"Are you still afraid?" Zhu Yao, understanding and perceptive, noticed Yu Nan's concerns.
"Um…"
Yu Nan slowly stood up, but her hand tugged at Zhu Yao's clothes.
"Could you stay up here with me for a while?"
“Sure!” Zhu Yao replied with a smile, getting up and walking towards Yu Nan’s bedroom.
As soon as she entered, Zhu Yao noticed a gift box on the table.
Yu Nan had a bad feeling; she had forgotten to hide the gift she planned to give Zhu Yao when she joined her studio.
"This is...?" Zhu Yao looked at Yu Nan in confusion.
"I was planning to give it to you later," Yu Nan said frankly. "It's a gift I found yesterday after rummaging through my drawers."
Zhu Yao was a little flattered, as she felt she hadn't done anything to deserve such a reward.
"I was planning to give it to you when you joined my studio," Yu Nan added, "but it's fine to give it to you earlier."
Zhu Yao opened it and found that it was actually a small robot, about the size of a palm, with a square head, six wheels on its legs, and a hand-like railing.
Yu Nan explained, "This is a robot pet."
Zhu Yao recalled that when they were playing "Send Us to the Moon," she had mentioned that she liked pets but was allergic to fur.
All I can say is that Yu Nan put her heart into it.
"I don't know what else I could do besides being a member of your studio after joining."
