PTYS Chapter 111

A wave of heat filled the room, making the atmosphere thick and heavy.

Shen Qingqiu was completely lost, feeling as though all her senses were dominated by Xiao Muyu, leaving no room for anything else.

In the end, she couldn’t help but clasp her arms around Xiao Muyu’s waist, pressing even closer.

The card originally held in Xiao Muyu’s hand fell to the ground. It lay face-up for a moment, then as if unable to endure any longer, it flipped over and slid under the bed.

Xiao Muyu’s body was already leaning forward. With Shen Qingqiu embracing her, she exerted a bit more force with her waist, pushing Shen Qingqiu down onto the bed.

At this moment, Shen Qingqiu’s body was as soft as if she had no bones, lying down obediently with her eyes closed, not yet ready to end this long-awaited intimacy.

On the bed, Shen Qingqiu’s bent leg allowed Xiao Muyu to rest lightly on top of her, making it difficult to part.

Ultimately, it was Xiao Muyu who regained her composure, gently grasping Shen Qingqiu’s hand that was caressing her back and pressing it onto the bed. She then raised herself slightly to look at Shen Qingqiu beneath her.

Both had just taken a bath and changed into pajamas. Shen Qingqiu’s pajamas were quite sexy, a champagne-colored set.

The outfit was a two-piece: an inner camisole that barely reached her thighs and an outer robe that, when tied properly, revealed a V-neck while covering everything else.

However, in their moment of uncontrollable passion, the tied belt had somehow come loose. The silky, soft outer robe had long slipped off.

Now, with Xiao Muyu pressing down on her, the enchanting scene that had been covered by the robe was fully exposed to Xiao Muyu.

Such a sight could make anyone dizzy. Shen Qingqiu’s already beautiful and alluring face was flushed, her grey eyes glistening as she looked up at Xiao Muyu with a mix of restraint and bewilderment.

Xiao Muyu’s heart pounded uncontrollably. She quickly looked away, pulled up Shen Qingqiu’s clothing, and sat up, her breathing chaotic.

“Why didn’t you tie your clothes properly?” Xiao Muyu asked, a bit annoyed, her ears turning red.

Gradually waking from her daze, Shen Qingqiu heard Xiao Muyu’s words. She lightly touched her lips with a fingertip, noticing the color that lingered there.

Unintentionally, Xiao Muyu followed her gaze but quickly turned away, embarrassed by Shen Qingqiu’s seductive gesture. She adjusted her pajama collar nervously.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqiu laughed, her voice tinged with seduction. “How could that be? I tied it very securely. It wouldn’t have come undone unless someone untied it.”

As she spoke, she deftly retied her clothes, but the enticing image had already taken root in Xiao Muyu’s mind.

Shen Qingqiu’s hands were beautiful, slender with defined joints yet unexpectedly soft when holding. Even the simple act of tying a belt made Xiao Muyu’s heart race.

However, Xiao Muyu’s face remained calm. Even with her inner turmoil, only her ears betrayed her feelings.

“I didn’t touch it,” Xiao Muyu said, pressing her lips together, knowing that any further denial would seem suspicious and unromantic.

Shen Qingqiu chuckled softly, then pulled on Xiao Muyu’s clothes, narrowing her eyes. “Didn’t you say I should take it back? But just now, it felt like I was giving it to you.”

Xiao Muyu, initially flustered, realized that Shen Qingqiu was teasing her again. She regained her composure and said, “So you only intend to take back what I took extra?”

Shen Qingqiu quickly shook her head, hoping Xiao Muyu would owe her more, binding them together indefinitely.

Watching Shen Qingqiu, Xiao Muyu recalled their earlier moment and shook her head. Since meeting Shen Qingqiu, any retreat on her part had allowed Shen Qingqiu to advance in her heart. Once this began, it was uncontrollable.

Previously, even if she liked Shen Qingqiu, she would never have accepted her so readily.

But that resolve shattered in the fourth quest. Holding Shen Qingqiu, she regretted not embracing her sooner. When she thought Shen Qingqiu might not make it out, the feeling was more than regret; it was fear.

She realized she couldn’t hesitate or wait any longer. No matter Shen Qingqiu’s motives, she needed to keep her close.

Lost in thought, Shen Qingqiu’s call brought her back. “What’s wrong? Why did you shake your head?”

Shen Qingqiu’s concern softened Xiao Muyu’s heart, but her words were far from sweet. “Nothing, I was just thinking how you were so reserved earlier, and now, after a kiss, you’re so shameless.”

Despite her teasing, Xiao Muyu’s eyes held a rare affection.

During their kiss, Shen Qingqiu had seemed so innocent, contrary to her usual demeanor.

Shen Qingqiu lay beside her, resting her chin on her hands, her pajamas slipping to reveal her smooth legs. She looked at Xiao Muyu seriously and said, “I planned to take advantage of the moment and make things irreversible with you.”

“Ugh…” Xiao Muyu choked at Shen Qingqiu’s words, unable to respond immediately. Her usually composed face turned completely red, and she stammered, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense, it’s just…” She sighed theatrically, “I didn’t expect you wouldn’t want me.”

Xiao Muyu stood up, pressed her lips together, and almost left. However, she hesitated and said quietly, “We just confirmed our relationship. It’s too fast; it’s not right.”

Hearing this, Shen Qingqiu sat up on the edge of the bed, her eyes locked on Xiao Muyu’s. The teasing look was replaced with anticipation and seriousness. “You said we confirmed our relationship. What kind of relationship?”

Xiao Muyu remained silent for a moment before whispering, “Whatever relationship you want it to be.”

A gleam of light appeared in Shen Qingqiu’s eyes, and she asked softly, “Will you give me whatever I want?”

Xiao Muyu stared at her without moving, while Shen Qingqiu’s smile deepened, her gaze becoming more affectionate. “Can you be my girlfriend?”

Xiao Muyu almost laughed, “Do you mean someone you’re pursuing?”

“I mean a girlfriend.”

Xiao Muyu lowered her gaze, making it hard for Shen Qingqiu to see her eyes or expression. After a while, Xiao Muyu looked up and said softly, “You already are.”

Shen Qingqiu stared at Xiao Muyu, knowing the answer deep down but still wanting to hear it directly. Hearing the response she longed for, Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. Her eyes stung, and her throat felt choked, rendering her speechless.

Xiao Muyu just looked at her without saying anything. When Shen Qingqiu looked up at her with red eyes and smiled, Xiao Muyu leaned down and hugged her.

Shen Qingqiu held her tightly, feeling comforted by her warmth and softness.

“Alright, you’re tired today. Let’s sleep early, okay?” Xiao Muyu, remembering how unwell Shen Qingqiu felt earlier, spoke gently.

Shen Qingqiu was indeed exhausted from the earlier ordeal and the emotional roller coaster of confirming their relationship. Despite her tiredness, her excitement kept her awake.

“I can’t sleep; it feels like a dream.”

Understanding her feelings, Xiao Muyu hesitated before sitting on a chair by the bed. “Then lie down, and I’ll talk with you.”

Shen Qingqiu was surprised. She turned her head to look at Xiao Muyu and smiled. “Wow, you’re getting into character so quickly. If this were before, you’d definitely have snapped at me.”

Xiao Muyu sighed, “Although I wasn’t gentle with you before, you were indeed quite exasperating.”

Shen Qingqiu laughed, her eyes crinkling with mirth. But then she remembered something and started looking around, furrowing her brows.

Xiao Muyu was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Qingqiu asked, “Didn’t I give you that ghost card? Where did you put it? I can’t see it.”

Xiao Muyu was also momentarily confused. She looked around but didn’t see it, so she stood up and started searching the bed.

Shen Qingqiu followed, murmuring, “I remember you had it in your left hand when you kissed me. Then you held my waist and pushed me down, so it should be on the bed.”

Xiao Muyu was seriously looking for the card, but Shen Qingqiu’s commentary made her feel awkward, her hands and feet not knowing where to go.

Although her expression remained composed, she couldn’t take it anymore and said with red ears, “You don’t need to use your mouth to find things.”

Shen Qingqiu glanced at her mischievously, “I’m just helping you remember.”

Xiao Muyu replied with a straight face, “Thank you, but I remember very clearly.”

Bending down, she finally saw the card lying face-down under the bed. Her expression cracked slightly.

It shouldn’t have fallen so far on its own, meaning the card might have moved itself. That meant…

When Xiao Muyu stood up with the card, Shen Qingqiu saw her expression and guessed what had happened. The two exchanged a glance and then awkwardly looked away.

After a while, Shen Qingqiu tapped the card, and the ghostly figure appeared in the room.

Seeing the two of them, the ghost had a peculiar look in her eyes, glancing back and forth between them. Finally, she cautiously asked, “Did you two move so fast?”

Xiao Muyu and Shen Qingqiu: “…”

The atmosphere grew a bit awkward, but Shen Qingqiu couldn’t help but laugh. She leaned against Xiao Muyu, who was standing nearby, as her laughter made her body shake.

Xiao Muyu’s expression was sour, but she moved closer to support Shen Qingqiu, preventing her from falling off the bed in her laughter.

Shen Qingqiu, knowing when to stop, didn’t want the ghost to embarrass her girlfriend further. She stopped laughing and addressed the ghost seriously, “Whether it’s fast or slow isn’t up to you. It’s up to me.”

Xiao Muyu’s face darkened further. She glanced down at Shen Qingqiu, pressing her lips together.

“We called you out because we have something to ask you.”

Seeing Xiao Muyu turn serious, the ghost straightened up and focused intently on Shen Qingqiu. “Go ahead, ask.”

“During the time we were gone, did you notice anything here, like did anyone else come by, or was there anything unusual?”

The female ghost shook her head. “No one has come by since you left, and there was nothing strange.”

Xiao Muyu looked puzzled. “Are you worried that someone else might come in?”

Shen Qingqiu nodded. “All player actions are monitored by Skynet, so living quarters do not necessarily mean privacy.”

Xiao Muyu knew that Shen Qingqiu understood more than she did, so she frowned and asked, “Is there surveillance?”

Shen Qingqiu shook his head. “Usually not, but if it touches on some of Skynet’s taboos or relates to player tasks, such as all behaviors within the instance, it will be monitored.”

“Taboos?”

“For example, that time when you tried to attack the system at the internet café, even though the system wasn’t attacked, your attempt was still detected.”

In the Skynet world, there are many smart and capable people, not just Xiao Muyu. There are certainly others who suspect Skynet is a computer program, so such attacks are common for Skynet. But causing it to panic to the point of crashing the computer, that’s probably something only Xiao Muyu could do.

After hearing Shen Qingqiu’s words, Xiao Muyu fell into deep thought.

Author’s note: This chapter is purely a romance scene, and after this, the plot and romance will develop simultaneously.

In the Skynet world, aside from developing relationships, the story will gradually uncover some settings and the broader background.
