Chapter 204 - Witch
Mengyao was hiding first- Yushu was the seeker.
As agreed upon, Yushu hid herself in the bathroom and locked the door- she wasn't allowed to come out until Mengyao vibrated her phone with a call. That was the cue for her to start searching.
"Hehe…… You should start preparing for your confession tonight, Yao Yao…… Heh… HAHA……" Yushu chuckled evilly in the bathroom. She'd found the ultimate hiding spot before even suggesting the game- it would definitely take Mengyao more than an hour to find a spot perfect as that.
It was why she'd suggested a bet as crazy as that- she had absolute confidence that Mengyao would be the one losing.
Yushu's phone vibrated after a while- it was Mengyao's number. She hung it up and walked out the bathroom.
Yushu didn't rush things as she closed the bathroom door behind her- she placed herself in the living room as she observed her surroundings. It was Mengyao's home, but she'd been visiting the place so often since fourteen that she knew the place upside down.
Mengyao's hiding place wouldn't be a conventional one, nor would it be some corner in a room- after all, Yushu knew all the corners Mengyao did. It was obvious that Mengyao would avoid places where she knew Yushu would look.
According to that logic, Yushu decided to leave the corners for last- Mengyao wouldn't be waiting to lose in places like that.
She looked at Lin Yi's room, a sneaky smile forming on her lips.
Lin Yi's room had been half-open when they were watching the concert… She hadn't been paying attention to the room or anything, but she did glance at it out of guilt when she suggested confessing to s.h.i.+eld Bro if they lost.
Yet the door was now completely shut- where else would Mengyao be hiding, if not in there?
Yushu tiptoed to Lin Yi's room, and opened the door with a violent gesture, a big smile on her face as she announced her victory. "Come out, Yao Yao! I see you!!"
Yushu was holding a victory fist as she waited for Mengyao to come out… She started panicking when she didn't.
"Yao Yao, stop hiding! Come out!" Yushu called as she walked in the room.
Yushu knew what Lin Yi's room was like- she'd been here before when the guy was in his underwear……
Her eyes darted around the room. She spotted her laptop on the desk, and there wasn't anyone under it… The bed wasn't tall enough for a person to fit under there, too…
The closet was practically empty, with just two or three sets of clothing Lin Yi just bought… The bathroom was empty, too, and there were even two pairs of underwear on the drying rack.
"Ehh?" Yushu was confused- where was Yao Yao? Did she know some invisibility technique?
Completely unsatisfied, Yushu searched the room once more, still not finding Mengyao anywhere. Disheartened, she wondered if Mengyao really wasn't in here……
Yushu was deep in thought when her phone rang. She pulled her phone out and answered it helplessly after seeing Mengyao's number on the display. "Yao Yao, where are you?"
"Shu, time's up!! You didn't find me!" Mengyao said, clearly quite pleased with herself.
"Yao Yao, where are you hiding??" Yushu said as she looked around the room for the source of Mengyao's voice- nothing turned up. Mengyao wasn't in the room.
"I'm in our room- I was lying in the bed for a bit, waiting for you!" Mengyao said, a little lazily so as to p.i.s.s Yushu off.
"Ugh……" Yushu almost dropped her phone. "Our room? But s.h.i.+eld Bro's door was shut!"
"Oh, that…… I closed it." Mengyao said casually. "He might have something valuable in there, and I don't want the guy trying to blame us for anything we break!"
"Ugh………." Yushu couldn't believe the excuse Mengyao was using. It was clearly a tactic!! An shameless tactic!! "Yao Yao, you're such a witch!"
"A witch? Really?" Mengyao laughed. "Well, I'm coming down now Shu- you better hide yourself good, cause it looks like you're gonna be confessing tonight!"
Yushu hung the phone up, troubled as she sat on a sofa waiting for Mengyao. She came down a while later, and Yushu couldn't help but be p.i.s.sed off.
"Yao Yao, it's my turn! You go wait in the bathroom." Yushu said.
"Sure- call me when you're ready." Mengyao said, not a care in the world- she'd still be safe even if she lost the second round, after all, and there was no reason for her to panic at all.
She walked in the bathroom and closed the door.
Shu had wanted to pick a random place, but she'd lost the first round! It had to be the ultimate spot, now or never.
She made sure Mengyao had shut herself in the bathroom before walking out the villa. She made her way to the villa's backyard- there was a storage room there that was usually locked up and barred with fences.
Mengyao lived in the villa alone, and she didn't really need the s.p.a.ce. Yushu remembered that they got a c.o.c.kshuttle inside the fence when they were playing badminton- it was a long time ago, when she had to crawl past the fence to retrieve it.
It was a fail-safe hiding spot, a place Mengyao would never even think of! Yushu was confident of that. After all, the metal fence was locked, and Mengyao probably didn't even remember where the keys were.
Yushu chuckled to herself before quickly squeezing herself past the opening in the fence...
Chapter 205 - Shu's Tragedy
Yushu was trying hard to force herself past when she realized how hard it was- had she grown fatter? Why was it so much harder this time around?
Oh. Yushu had grown up- it had been four years since she'd tried the same thing. She'd just moved into her villa then.
"Fuu!" Yushu exhaled as she got half her body through. She'd have looked for the key in advance if she'd known how hard it'd be.
Yushu wiped the sweat off her brow as she continued squeezing herself in, and her chest started to hurt…… Her two bunnies were stuck between the fence.
Yushu had no intention of giving up- she exerted more force as she tried to get herself through.
"Aah, I can't, I can't!!" Yushu couldn't take it anymore- her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were gonna die at this rate!
What rotten luck she had- her b.o.o.bs really did become a burden! Yushu couldn't believe it, this was the first time her chest had a negative effect- Mengyao was spot on with what she had said. What a tragedy.
Fine, I'll confess! Yushu decided that she'd rather do that than squeeze herself to death. She sighed as she started to move herself out of the fence.
It was then when she realized the true tragedy of the situation- she couldn't get the other half of her body out!!
Yushu couldn't believe her luck- this was getting pretty serious! She'd be a laughingstock if this spread around!!
Terrified, she pulled her phone out to call Mengyao.
Mengyao declined the call without even picking up, evidently thinking that Yushu was signalling for her to start searching.
Yushu started panicking at that point- she rang Mengyao up again. "What, Shu? I'm looking for you already, okay? Too much credit in your phone?"
"Yao Yao, help… I'm stuck…... " Yushu whimpered- she could neither get out nor get in!
"Ah?" Mengyao blinked. "Shu, what're you saying? Stuck?"
"I'm at the storage room in the backyard, Yao Yao, I'm stuck! Hurry, I can't hold on much longer!!" Yushu said urgently.
"Oh, I'm coming right now! Hang on." Mengyao hung the phone up as she quickly made her way to the backyard- Yushu didn't seem to be joking.
She hadn't even reached the place when she spotted Yushu stuck in a fence. "Shu, what's with you?"
"Yao Yao, help me, quick!!" Yushu said as she waved her hand worriedly. She was genuinely scared at this point- she'd be screwed if Mengyao couldn't get her out.
It took a couple steps until Mengyao understood what was going on- the right side of Shu's body had gotten through when she'd tried squeezing her way in, but the other left couldn't… the fence was right in between her b.o.o.bs……
"Pfft- hahahaha……" Mengyao couldn't take it anymore- how did that even happen?
"Yao Yao… why're you laughing…… It hurts, okay……" Yushu was almost on the verge of tearing up already.
"What a tragedy, Shu!!" Mengyao said, unable to hold herself back. "See, what did I tell you? Your b.o.o.bs did become a burden! Something like this wouldn't happen to me, right?"
"Alright, Yao Yao, alright, I was wrong… I won't laugh at you again, okay? Just help me out first……" Yushu admitted.
"Let me see……" Mengyao still couldn't help but find the scene funny. "Maybe we can cut your other b.o.o.b off?"
"Yao Yao!!!" Yushu was starting to get really p.i.s.sed off. "I'll ignore you if you keep laughing at me!"
"Okay okay, I was just joking! I'll see what I can do, hold on.." Mengyao said, stopping herself- it really was a pretty tragic thing, and she shouldn't be laughing at her at all.
"Okay." Yushu nodded, pinning her last hopes on Mengyao.
Maybe I can help squeeze one b.o.o.b down, and you try to pull out?" Mengyao suggested- there weren't a lot of options here.
"Uh… Will that work? Isn't that gonna hurt?" Yushu said, not too keen on the idea.
"There's no other way……"
"Let's try that then……" Yushu nodded in agreement.
And with that, the two girls started getting to work……
"Ahh… I can't, it's too much! I.. I'm gonna die! Stop, stop……" Yushu cried out loudly.
"Shut, just hold on a bit longer! How else are we gonna get you out? You're not gonna sleep and eat here, are you? What if you wanted to go to the toilet??" Mengyao encouraged. "Just a little longer!"
"But Yao Yao, you're really killing me here……" Yushu's voice wasn't sounding too good.
"Just a little more, come on!" Mengyao continued.
"But I can't… It hurts……" Yushu said tragically.
"Then what do we do?" Mengyao said, out of options. "Maybe I should call Lin Yi? He could pull you from the other side, and I'll press on your b.o.o.b from this side- one violent jerk and you'll be out."
"Uh……" Yushu shuddered at the thought- it'd be h.e.l.l! Yet it was something she had to go through if she wanted to get out… She nodded. "Okay, Yao Yao… Call s.h.i.+eld Bro then……"
Lin Yi was giving Xiaobo some s.p.a.ce as he focused on the road.
"Boss, I've made up my mind!!" Xiaobo's head jerked up suddenly as he turned to face Lin Yi. "Boss, I really do have feelings for Fen. I admit that there's some recklessness in this, but I really do, ever since I saw her in the picture! I still feel the same even after knowing her tragic past- if anything, I like her even more! Can you let me try it out with her, boss??"
"Ah……" Lin Yi wasn't too surprised by the statement- it was within his expectations, after all. "Her psychological illness can be cured, no problem there, but her leg……"
"I'm fine with that, boss!!" Xiaobo nodded with certainty. "I think, if I really am in love with her, I wouldn't care about stuff like that!!"
