As Bai Xinyue's heart was rapidly beating inside of her chest, the intensity in her eyes started to rapidly cede as a bit of confusion appeared therein, as if she was doubting why her tactics didn't seem to work.
When he saw this expression on her face, Huang Shi's heart thumped as an inexplicable feeling of joy erupted within his heart while he roared out with glee.
Shit... I knew it... I'm a fucking genius! HAHAHAHAHHA, HUANG SHI STRIKES AGAIN!!
After forcefully calming his emotions, he looked down at the bed and saw Bai Xinyue with her adorably perfect face looking up at him with both shyness and confusion, and his heart started to rattle like a drum.
Ah shit... of course, nothing is ever simple with this woman... even if I'm pinning her down like this, it still feels like I'm the one losing because she's just so damn beautiful.
After the both of them stared at each other for a few seconds, once again it was Bai Xinyue who tried to break the silence, but this time she failed because he spoke up first.
"Hey, Xinyue, I thought you said you didn't have any friends. If that's true... who taught you about those things?"
Bai Xinyue looked at him with her silver-gold eyes and replied with a bit of hesitation in her voice, as if she were still struggling to understand why she had failed.
"You're right, I don't have any friends. It was my mother who told me to act that way; according to her, that is how you win a man's heart..."
The moment he heard these words, a terrifying premonition suddenly erupted inside of him, as his heart started beating faster and faster—not because of the woman beneath him, but due to another bout of profound fear.
Alright, let's just get this straight: this woman has a Yandere for a mother, and I assume this woman has Bai Xinyue's father completely under her control.
This means that how she views relationships has been fundamentally skewed from the very beginning... She doesn't know that men can take charge at all; she hasn't seen it yet.
All she has seen is her mother basically dominating her dad all his life—a woman dominating her man... Alright, fuck.
"Hey, Xinyue, is your mother... a bit controlling?"
Bai Xinyue tilted her adorable head to the side, trying to think for a few moments before nodding her head in agreement as she explained, "That's right. According to my mother, women should keep their men on a tight leash, because if they don't, they'll keep on adding more and more women to their belt like some pig, so you need to keep them in line..."
Ah shit... Alright, let's at least look at the bright side in all of this. Clearly, this woman hasn't been completely corrupted by her mother yet, considering that I was able to flip the situation around and notice a few inconsistencies in her behavior.
This means I have a chance. I need to change the way she views relationships, or I will really become a damn eunuch in the future!
This time, he shifted from his position for a bit, taking the covers that had previously been discarded and putting them back on her body—covering her up and leaving only her face exposed and a little bit of her neck. He then lay down beside her and confidently held her hand. She looked at him with a dazed expression that she quickly tried to cover up as she struggled to calm her emotions.
"I guess what I did was wrong? Or is there something about relationships between men and women that I don't understand?"
Huang Shi lay beside her, looking deep into her eyes as he gave a smile before placing a bit of pressure on her dainty hand, drawing small circles on her palm.
"Xinyue, although your mother must be an amazing woman, and the relationship between her and your father must look perfect in your eyes—with your intelligence, it doesn't seem possible that you wouldn't notice something was off, right?"
Bai Xinyue thought about it for a few seconds, feeling his warm hand over hers, as she gradually got used to the feeling of her heart constantly going haywire whenever she was anywhere near him.
"I guess you're right... I'm pretty sure that one of the primary reasons my mother can act in such a domineering manner is because she is much, much stronger than my father..."
Huang Shi's heart thumped inside of his chest as he felt the goosebumps return.
"How strong is your dad?"
Bai Xinyue thought about it for a few seconds, likely trying to determine whether or not she should share this information with him. When she felt his warm hands on hers, she strengthened her resolve.
I've already decided that I like him... and he already knows about my heavenly physique... he is gonna find out about this sooner or later anyway.
"My father is already at the Sky Profound Realm."
Huang Shi felt his spine shiver as the terrifying premonition he had previously ignored returned with a vengeance. He continued to ask with a slight tremble in his voice, "And your mother is stronger than him? What level is she at?"
This time, Bai Xinyue took a much longer time thinking about whether or not she should answer the question. She opened and closed her mouth as if hesitating before finally shaking her head.
"It's too early for you to know. If Mother finds out that we're talking about her behind her back, she will immediately find out about it and take me away... as for you, you will probably die."
Ah shit... alright, so my new fucking girlfriend's dad is a damn Sky Profound Realm expert and her mother is someone even more terrifying than that... Great, this is amazing!! I'm so fucking dead.
Just as he felt his anxiety start to overwhelm his senses, he felt a cool and soothing silvery-white light envelop his body, bringing clarity to his mind and calming him down.
"It's fine. Once we're strong enough, all problems will resolve themselves on their own, right?"
