Cry louder, I can't hear you.

He held her very tightly, as if trying to embed her into his body.

A sinister, deep voice fell beside my ear:

"Baby, you must feel disgusted every time you kiss me, right?"

"Are you thinking, 'When am I going to die?'"

"If I die, will no one disturb your lovemaking with him?"

"Baby, your smile is so beautiful. I've never seen you smile at me like that before."

"You arranged to meet tomorrow? What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Have you slept with him?"

"I didn't!" Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Yun Qiao couldn't help but push him away and interrupt, "I had my reasons for doing what I just did, I really don't like him..."

"He kisses him even though he doesn't like him? The way this baby interacts with people is quite unique."

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Those eyes held a cold depth.

It was as if they were waiting for her answer so they could decide what punishment to give her...

But after waiting for a long time, Yun Qiao did not offer an explanation, nor did she deny it.

His eyes, which had been restrained, finally darkened.

He dropped his pretense, his well-defined knuckles gripping her chin tightly, forcing her to look up at him.

"My baby doesn't like me, so why does he/she bother me...?"

"I've given you so many chances, haven't I? But you said you liked me..."

"If you don't like me, why did you provoke me in the first place?"

Yun Qiao had always thought Shen Suwei was crazy, but never like this before...

She forgot how he carried her away from the flower shed.

All she remembered was his hands gripping her waist and the back of her knees, with such force that it felt like he was going to crush all the bones in her body.

The car was driving very fast.

The streetlights outside the window flashed by one by one.

He didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak either.

She only realized what he was about to do when he pushed her into the room and threw her onto the bed.

Her back slammed against the soft mattress, and before she could even turn over and get up, he was already on top of her.

His wrist was easily held in one hand and pressed down above her head.

His knees pressed against the sides of her legs, preventing her from closing them.

With his other hand, he placed it on her collar and, without any hesitation, forcefully tore it open.

Yun Qiao was startled by his posture:

"Shen... Shen Suwei! Are you crazy?"

Shen Suwei did not respond.

My gaze slid down from the torn neckline to her pink lace lingerie.

His gaze deepened.

But he didn't continue, and suddenly spoke softly:

"I want to die inside your body..."

Yun Qiao: ?

"Baby, how about we die together?" The voice was low, with a gentleness that sent chills down your spine. "That way we'll never be apart... and you won't have a chance to mess with anyone else."

His fingertips slipped inside her neckline, while his other hand swiftly tore off her skirt.

When his body pressed down completely, Yun Qiao's breath caught in her throat: "...Shen Suwei, don't do this..."

[System, can I leave early?]

System: [No. It'll be midnight in a few minutes. Delay it any longer...]

When his kiss landed on Yun Qiao's neck, he seemed to sense her distraction and suddenly bit her in frustration. "What are you thinking about? Thinking about Li Ruoyan?"

Yun Qiao pursed her lips tightly, "I didn't..."

"Have you slept with Li Ruoyan?"

His fingers traced her waist repeatedly, like a string stretched to its limit, ready to snap at any moment.

When he asked her the question a second time, Yun Qiao didn't rush to deny it this time.

Instead, they deliberately delayed the process.

"What if I said I did?"

The person pressing down on her suddenly froze, and the hand on her waist also stiffened.

"...When?"

He tried to suppress his voice, but Yunqiao could still hear the tremor in his voice.

She continued to delay:

"You're not with me all the time. I spend a lot of time with him. Which time are you talking about?"

"Which...time?"

My blood seemed to freeze for a moment.

Shen Suwei's voice was hoarse, "So it wasn't just once?"

Yun Qiao lowered her eyes, not looking at him. But she could feel his gaze on her face, his breath brushing against her skin, heavier than before, yet carrying an indescribable sluggishness.

The clock on the wall was still ticking. The second hand ticked away, and Yun Qiao remained silent, anxiously waiting for time to pass.

Suddenly, Shen Suwei's kiss landed on his lips.

Unlike before, this time it came with an almost out-of-control force, as if it wanted to swallow her whole.

As soon as Yun Qiao put her hand on his shoulder, his body became even heavier.

He pinned her to the mattress, unable to move.

He kissed and nibbled as he whispered:

"Then the baby can take a good look and see who gives you a better feeling, me or him..."

My breathing was heavy and erratic.

Her clothes were thrown under the bed.

The skin felt cool when it came into contact with the air, but was immediately covered by the warmth of his palm.

His fingers slid down her shoulders, pausing at each point, as if he wanted to leave his mark on her body and cover up the traces of others.

"...Let go..."

Her voice was breathless as she gripped his wrist, trying to pull away, but he didn't budge. He even lowered his head and bit her soft flesh below her collarbone.

His lips pressed against the skin there, his voice low and hoarse:

"When you're with him, do you let him touch you like that?"

"Baby, you're so experienced, teach me!"

"Why aren't you moving? Is it because it's me that you're unhappy?"

"Why are you unhappy? What makes me inferior to him?"

With each word he spoke, his voice grew harsher.

Yun Qiao bit her lip hard, staring at the clock behind him.

A few seconds left.

Wait a few more seconds...

His forehead pressed against her shoulder, and as he lowered his body, she closed her eyes and did not struggle.

Finally, at the very last moment.

"Shen Suwei."

She called his name softly, looking at him:

"goodbye."

Shen Suwei's eyes widened slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

"Yunqiao—"

But at this moment, the second hand jumps to the last position.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! We are now helping you escape this world—]

The mechanical voice came from my mind, and all other sounds seemed to be sucked away instantly, even the air seemed to stop for a moment.

Yun Qiao's vision went from Shen Suwei's terrified and helpless face to a blank.

She returned to the transit station where she had stayed during her time travel.

The system really hadn't lied to her this time... She really had left this strange world...

Yunqiao finally relaxed, her previously tense heart finally at ease.

She was both delighted and exhausted.

Before the system could finish speaking, he fainted.

When she woke up again, she was in her familiar room.

She's back!

[Host.] Before I could even finish being happy, the system's voice sounded again.

Yun Qiao's heart tightened: "Why haven't you left yet?"

System: [...Host, don't worry, I didn't mean to break the contract. I just wanted to tell you that the passage of time is different in the two worlds. So, in your world now, you've returned to being seventeen years old.]

Yun Qiao exclaimed in surprise: "[There's such a good thing? I've become younger again?]"

System: [Yes, you have another chance to take the college entrance exam.]

Yun Qiao: 【…Get out of here.】
