After Being Bent by Reader

After hearing no reply from her lover for some time, Murong Shi waved her hand in front of Xu Chuanchuan's eyes.

Xu Chuanchuan snapped out of her daze but still looked at Murong Shi with a dumb look on her face.

"Or do you want me to kneel on all three of them?" Murong Shi asked.

When Xu Chuanchuan saw Murong Shi pulling the washboard aside to kneel on it, she quickly yelled, "Hold on!"

Murong Shi paused and asked, "Do you not like this one? Should I switch to the durian, then?"

Xu Chuanchuan was a little frightened by Murong Shi's words and actions.

"No, I'm still missing something," Murong Shi mumbled to herself. Then, she put her hand on her pants, unbuttoned them, and began removing them.

Xu Chuanchuan was utterly dumbfounded once more.

Murong Shi was wearing a pair of black cropped trousers today, so taking it off was an easy task. Before Xu Chuanchuan could make sense of what Murong Shi was trying to do, a pair of long and slim legs had appeared in front of her.

"..." Xu Chuanchuan drooled like the useless fool she was. Only after staring for a long time did she find the will to ask, "What are you doing?"

Is Murong trying to seduce me? At this thought, Xu Chuanchuan hurriedly held onto herself and shuffled away from Murong Shi.

Seeing this, Murong Shi smiled and threw her pants to Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she lightly said, "It'll be more effective if I don't have my pants on."

Xu Chuanchuan's vision darkened momentarily as Murong Shi's pants covered her eyes. When she pulled the pants away and saw Murong Shi walking toward the durian, she was scared out of her mind and hurriedly extended her hands to hold onto Murong Shi's thin waist. "Are you insane?!"

Murong Shi looked down at Xu Chuanchuan. Then, she revealed an innocent expression and gloomily said, "You refused to pay attention to me all night yesterday. You also refuse to forgive me. What else can I do?"

Xu Chuanchuan initially thought Murong Shi was only joking about corporal punishment, but looking at Murong Shi's expression, it would seem that the other party was serious. So, she held onto Murong Shi's waist even tightly and said, "Actually, I've already…"

Xu Chuanchuan had nearly said, "I've already forgiven you," but she promptly clamped her mouth shut before she could finish her sentence. After all, it would be embarrassing for her if she were to cave and forgive Murong Shi so easily.

However, when Xu Chuanchuan took another look at the thorny durian on the floor and Murong Shi's white and tender thighs, her determination began wavering once more. After all, with how perfect Murong Shi's legs were, they would be more than enough for her to enjoy for a lifetime. Xu Chuanchuan would be devastated if scars marred these beautiful legs.

Previously, when her anger was at its peak, Xu Chuanchuan had indeed thought of punishing Murong Shi before. However, she also couldn't bear to have a proud person like Murong Shi kneel in front of her. Not to mention, there were all sorts of punishments that could be implemented, such as doing both their share of chores for an entire month. There wasn't a need to utilize such cruel methods.

In the end, Xu Chuanchuan grumpily released Murong Shi and said, "Put on your pants first."

"I'll put them on if you forgive me."

"...You're acting like a hoodlum!"

"So be it. There's no police to care or outsiders to see us anyway."

"..." Xu Chuanchuan failed in her argument against Murong Shi.

Dammit, this woman's wearing a thong, and it's even one with black lace trimmings. She's also deliberately making such sultry movements.

I can't lose. It'll be too embarrassing if I lose.

While inwardly reminding herself not to give in, Xu Chuanchuan subconsciously scanned Murong Shi's lower half with her eyes. Then, she noticed something through the corner of her eyes. "Where did you get the washboard from?"

"They told me Taobao sells it, but it takes too long for it to be delivered, so I had no choice but to check the local supermarkets." Frowning, Murong Shi said, "This thing is too rare. I had to go through a few supermarkets before I found one."

Xu Chuanchuan was surprised by Murong Shi's words. Then, she suddenly noticed a crucial word and asked, "They? Someone else told you to get...these things?"

Murong Shi might be capable when it came to coaxing others, but kneeling didn't fit her style at all. The more Xu Chuanchuan thought about this matter, the stranger she found it to be.

Realizing that she had already been seen through, Murong Shi fell silent for a moment before saying, "The girls in your reader group were quite enthusiastic."

Reader group?

Xu Chuanchuan turned around and grabbed her phone from the bedside table. Then, she unlocked it, opened up her QQ messenger, and clicked on her reader group, only to find that someone had tagged her in a message.

There were too many unread messages, so she quickly scanned through them, only stopping when she saw a familiar name that annoyed her.

The cause of the flood of messages was Murong Shi using her pseudonym of "Passerby Shi" to send a call for help in the group chat. "My girlfriend is mad at me, and all the coaxing in the world isn't working. Does anyone have any good solutions to recommend?"

Immediately, the reader group exploded with activity.

—Darling Shi? You finally appeared!

—Sure enough, excellent people all have girlfriends. Jealousy makes me ugly.

—Sorry, but I don't have a girlfriend. This topic exceeds my field of expertise.

—No girlfriend +1. There's nothing I can help you with, Tycoon Shi.

—Don't coax her if it's not working. Just push yourself onto her and give her a deep kiss. That'll solve your problem immediately.

(Passerby Shi's reply: She's refusing to let me touch her right now.)

—Lolol. She's even prohibiting you from touching her? Tycoon Shi, what kind of heinous crime did you commit?

…

—Give her gifts. Give her whatever she likes.

(Passerby Shi's reply: She likes money.)

—Then smash her with money! Fold 10,000 yuan into origami flowers and give them to her!

…

It was after this segment that Xu Chuanchuan started getting tagged in the group.

—How scary. The comment section is getting flooded with Deep-water announcements. [Image] Darling Shi, are you venting your emotions because you're in a bad mood?

—Tycoon Shi, won't your girlfriend get jealous and angry if you donate so much to Lord?

—I just did a count, and the number has reached 20 already.

—I just refreshed the page; it's at 30 already. Dammit, the rich are so willful!

—Shocking news! A certain tycoon is given the cold shoulder by her girlfriend and ends up going on the internet and throwing money at a novel author!

—Lord is probably going to laugh to death tonight from all these donations. @I Love Malatang.

—Wait a minute. Let's connect the dots. Darling Shi's girlfriend loves money, and you guys just told Darling Shi to smash her girlfriend with cash. Immediately afterward, Darling Shi starts throwing a bunch of Deep-waters at Lord. Erm…… Let me make a bold guess. Is Darling Shi's girlfriend our Lord?

—How is that possible? Our Lord is straight.

—What if she got bent?

—She's bent?! Lord, please come out and give us an answer! @I Love Malatang

…

Because a certain someone was busy making donations on jjwxc's platform, she simply let the girls in the group chat continue making blind guesses. As for Xu Chuanchuan, she had been rolling around on the bed trying to sleep at the time, so she had missed out on this shocking episode.

After scrolling through some more messages, Xu Chuanchuan finally found the topic discussing the matter of kneeling. One reader had suggested to Passerby Shi the method of kneeling to beg for forgiveness, while others had followed it up by suggesting to kneel on washboards, durians, keyboards, and instant noodles.

Xu Chuanchuan briefly looked away from her phone and scanned the floor. After failing to find any instant noodles, she returned her attention to her phone.

By now, it was also evident that Murong Shi had taken that reader's suggestion to heart.

The last time "Passerby Shi" had appeared in the reader group was to thank the members for their enthusiasm. She also dropped a 1,000-yuan red packet before leaving, causing the group members to start a frantic round of competition.

Although there were more unread messages, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't be bothered to look through all of them. Instead, she opened up the chat's member list, found Passerby Shi's ID, and clicked on her avatar. Then, she clicked on the "More" option and scrolled to the bottom of the page, revealing an eye-catching line of red text.

Realizing Xu Chuanchuan's intentions, Murong Shi urgently called out, "What are you doing?"

Xu Chuanchuan pretended to be deaf and clicked on the red text without hesitation, successfully removing Passerby Shi from the group.

Feeling pleased with herself, Xu Chuanchuan looked up at Murong Shi with a provocative look.

Serves you right for wasting money.

"..." Murong Shi had nothing to say about her dismissal from the reader group. Instead, she lifted a leg and knelt on the bed, saying, "I…"

Before Murong Shi could speak her mind, Xu Chuanchuan's phone rudely started ringing. When Xu Chuanchuan held it up, she found that it was Xu Xiangxiang calling her.

Her words getting interrupted, Murong Shi stood up and tactfully retreated. "Go ahead and answer it first."

Xu Chuanchuan answered the call and put her phone by her ear. Before she could even speak, Xu Xiangxiang's voice came through the phone, asking, "Sis, are you at the company dorm right now?"

"I am. What's wrong?"

"That's good. Mom and I are downstairs already, but the guards aren't letting us upstairs."

Xu Chuanchuan's body stiffened upon hearing Xu Xiangxiang's words, and her drowsy mind instantly became wide awake. "You and Mom?!"

"That's right. Mom says she wanted to see your current living space. The sun is hot, so hurry up and come get us!"

"G-Gimme a minute!" Xu Chuanchuan stammered before ending the call in a panic. Then, she gave Murong Shi a slight push before saying, "My mother and my sister are coming! Hurry up and put your pants on!"

"What?"

"Quick! Quick! Quick!"

With the situation taking a turn for the worse, Murong Shi grabbed her pants and put them on without hesitation.

"Why didn't they tell me before coming?!" Xu Chuanchuan got out of bed with a panicked expression on her face. Then, she pushed Murong Shi again and said, "Put away all your things, quickly!"

Mother Xu and Xu Xiangxiang's sudden visit caught Xu Chuanchuan off guard, and she couldn't care less about which object Murong Shi should kneel on. She also thoroughly forgot about her cold war with Murong Shi as she hurriedly tidied her room together with Murong Shi.

While maintaining her composure, Murong Shi said, "Stuff my cosmetics into the drawer. Hey, stop panicking. There's no need to cover up so much. They'll only become more suspicious if we take too long."

Xu Chuanchuan picked up one of the pillows on the bed and stuffed it into the cupboard. Then, she threw all of Murong Shi's shoes under the bed.

As for those three kneeling tools, Xu Chuanchuan grew infuriated just by looking at them, so she ended up throwing them to a corner. However, the durian was prickly, so she ended up kicking it with her slippers instead, only to accidentally stab herself in her big toe.

While Xu Chuanchuan was crying out in pain, Murong Shi put her hands into her armpits and carried her aside. Then, Murong Shi said, "Just leave it alone. It's nothing strange, anyway."

The durian was abandoned.

"What else?" Xu Chuanchuan anxiously paced around the room. "Your clothes! They're still drying on the balcony! We need to go collect them quickly!"

However, Murong Shi held down Xu Chuanchuan's shoulders and said, "Ignore those. Just say that they belong to Linda."

Xu Chuanchuan's eyes lit up in realization. "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Then, Murong Shi pointed at Xu Chuanchuan's messy hair and said in a helpless tone, "Go wash up first. I'll go downstairs and receive them."

In response, Xu Chuanchuan glared at Murong Shi and said, "You're the thing I need to hide the most."

Not sure whether to laugh or cry, Murong Shi asked, "Hide where?"

Then, Xu Chuanchuan pointed at the dark bottom of the bed.

Murong Shi: "..."

After they inspected the room one more time and made sure there were no problems, Murong Shi left the apartment.
