Flirting with the Gloomy Boss into Losing Control - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

“I’m the one who created you. You should call me Mom.”

The moment I finished speaking, Sister Contrarian’s voice came from outside.

“There’s light coming from this room! Yueyue, hurry and hide inside!”

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

I yanked Shi Hua behind me to shield him, and his tentacles receded from the floor like a tide.

Xu Yueyue eyed me suspiciously.

“You’ve been acting all shifty all day. What are you hiding?!”

I held up a black, fuzzy ball for them to see. “This is a lump of coal I picked up. His name is Shi Hua. Look, isn’t he cute?”

Sister Contrarian let out a cold snort and said sarcastically, “Jiang Yuan really has an astonishingly thick head. This is a horror survival game where people could die at any moment! I wouldn’t dare pick up trash like that!”

Shi Hua shifted in my palm, his fur bristling angrily.

I gently stroked him.

This was the cutest form of his true body, and it was incredibly endearing.

Sister Contrarian was about to make another cutting remark when she met the gazes of countless ghostly green eyes outside the door. She shrank into the farthest corner of the room in terror.

“There’s a monster in the doorway!”

Hearing her scream, the Cthulhu outside excitedly crushed its way through the doorframe with a thunderous crash.

But it didn’t come in.

It was as if it feared something.

Seeing this, Xu Yueyue cried out excitedly, “Cthulhu can’t come in! That means this room is the game’s safe zone! Thank goodness, we’re saved!”

As she spoke, she gave Sister Contrarian a meaningful look.

The other woman understood at once and silently crept behind me.

Then she shoved me outside!

“Everyone ended up in this awful place because of you in the first place. It’s only right that you lure the monster away and atone with your life, buying us seven days of peace!”

Xu Yueyue curled her lips into a thin, chilly smile, her expression full of contempt and disgust.

“You slut. If you hadn’t seduced the campus heartthrob, why would he have turned me down so many times? I’ve wanted to kill you for ages. This is perfect. I’ll feed you to Cthulhu and no one will ever know!”

So her constant bullying and getting her clique to bully me had all been because of that campus heartthrob, a guy I barely even knew beyond exchanging nods with.

Without warning, I threw myself at the monster.

“Bang!”

The door slammed shut behind me.

I hit the floor, the flesh of my palm torn and bloody.

The monster greedily licked its way toward me, only for a sudden burst of tentacles to stab into its eyes. Blood sprayed out like fountains, splattering across the door.

The next moment, it turned to ash.

That only strengthened my resolve to cling to Shi Hua’s coattails. I scrambled to my feet and began sobbing.

“I’m so touched! Huahua protected me… Huahua, you’re amazing! I like you so much!”

He froze.

Then, embarrassed, he melted into a shadow in my hands and slipped away.

“Don’t go!”

I chased after him, following him to the stairwell, only to find that he had vanished.

“Does Huahua not like me?”

I poked the shadow on the red carpet of the stairs, then poked around in other places. No matter how long I waited, there was no response.

Disappointed, I wandered around the stairwell.

There was some grit in my eye, making it sting, so I rubbed it until my eye turned red.

Then I felt something tugging at my pant leg. Looking down, I saw the tip of a tentacle wrapped in three loops of white bandage, poking me every now and then.

It was just like a child cautiously tugging on an adult’s sleeve to apologize.

It was unbearably adorable.

Unable to resist, I scooped it up and hugged it, accidentally stuffing it against my chest.

“You’re so cute! I really want to ride you! Give you a good, hard ride… ride you all the way to the superstore!”

It trembled and stiffened into a piece of wood.

The next moment, a young man dressed in black condensed in front of me.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red. He glared at me. “Have you no shame?”

“Hmph. When it comes to my beloved Huahua, I don’t have any shame to spare.”

With a roguish grin, I kidnapped him and dragged him back to the room where I had been staying. Then I lit the lamp.

Putting on my thickest skin, I asked with a grin, “I’m scared. Why don’t you stay with me for a few days?”

“No.”

“Really? You really can’t? Really, really can’t?”

“No!”

“Fine. Then if someone bullies me, I guess I’ll just have to suffer in silence.”

His enticing crimson lips parted and closed. He was as taciturn as ever.

“Seven.”

“Wife?”

I widened my eyes, then immediately broke into a delighted grin and started spouting shameless flirtation.

“Oh my, Mama really is Mama. Mama can’t be a wife! Though I suppose there’s no reason she can’t be one. I like Huahua a lot too… Huahua, let me give you a kiss?”

Just as I was about to kiss his cheek, he shoved me away.

The reclusive boss grew so frantic that he could barely get his words out, almost resorting to sign language.

“Se… seven days!”

I picked up the cup on the table and took a drink, secretly wiping away a tear. “Oh, so it’s seven days! It’s not like I was disappointed. Not disappointed at all~”

After I finished drinking, I felt hot all over.

“Did you drug me? You could’ve just said you had a crush on me!”

He pressed his lips tightly together, then angrily placed the sign reading “Muscle Relaxation and Blood Flow” in front of me.

Me: “…”

I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Shi Hua held out his hand.

I gave a dignified snort. “What?”

He simply pulled my hand over and licked it.

I knew he was healing my injury. His saliva had healing properties for humans.

Still, I pretended to hesitate.

“This… you…”

Like a child who had done something wrong, he immediately let go of my hand.

He struggled to explain, “Injury… better.”

But while he wasn’t paying attention, I planted a loud kiss on his cheek. Beaming, I said, “I know. Thank you, Huahua. I love you so much!”

Before he could react, I burrowed under the covers.

“It’s so late. Time to rest. Good night~”

His face remained taut, but the tips of his ears were bright red.

He pointed at the bed, then pointed at himself.

I understood instantly. “You want to sleep together? I promise I won’t touch your abs, pecs, or biceps!”

“…”

“Fine, you sleep in the bed. Then where am I supposed to sleep?”

“…”

“Then I’ll go find the Vampire Count. I hear he’s pretty handsome too, and his coffin is big enough for me to sleep in. It’ll be safe, too.”

I pretended to leave in despair.

Then I discovered that the door was locked.

I knew exactly what was going on.

The young man on the bed darkened his expression and spat out two words: “No… allowed.”

“You won’t let me sleep with you, but you won’t let me sleep with someone else either. What am I supposed to do? Sleep on the floor?”

The next moment, a powerful tentacle wrapped around me and pulled me to the young man’s side.

“Don’t… do this… to others!”

That was the longest sentence I had ever heard him say.

I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep. This little monster had been created entirely from my exact preferences, and my heart was unbearably itchy with anticipation!

I shifted left, then right, rolling over and over.

Eventually, I annoyed him.

Several tentacles extended from the foot of the bed and coiled around my wrists and ankles like chains, preventing me from moving around freely.

He said, “Be quiet.”

I wasn’t used to being restrained. I tried to pry myself free, but the bindings were even stronger than iron. In the end, I gave up.

My lips accidentally brushed against the tentacle around my wrist.

I felt the young man lying beside me stiffen noticeably.

A mischievous impulse suddenly struck me.

I tentatively kissed the tentacle. “Huahua?”

His body visibly trembled, and a faint flush spread across the tips of his ears.

“Don’t.”

A surge of accomplishment welled up inside me.

I began to grow bolder, pecking at it again and again like a little bird.

“Huahua, you’re just too cute. You’re making me want to devour you!”

After I kissed him too relentlessly, he trembled even harder. “Stop… stop it…”

His eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

The tentacle unconsciously tightened around my waist.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down without pause, as though he were desperately suppressing something.

Maybe it was only my imagination.

But I felt another scorching tentacle crawl up my leg, winding its way from my ankle as it greedily roamed about, as if yearning for something.

“What is that? It tickles.”

I couldn’t move my hands to grab it.

All I could do was push at it with my knee.

I heard him let out a strained moan. “Mm…”

Curious about what it was, I twisted my body, trying to take a look.

But I never expected the young man’s breathing to grow heavier and heavier until, at last, he could bear it no longer. He lost control and pinned me beneath him.

His voice was low, hoarse, and full of embarrassed anger.

“Jiang Yuan!”
