Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Hua Suihe sat on the ground huddled close to Ye Susheng, her head resting on the other woman’s shoulder. She squinted comfortably. “To be honest, I’ve never had an experience like this before. It’s quite refreshing.”

Ye Susheng instinctively wrapped her arm around Hua Suihe’s waist, pressing her cheek against the top of Hua Hua’s head. Hua Hua’s scent put her at ease, and she nuzzled her hair affectionately. “Hua Hua, Hua Hua, Hua Hua…”

“Hmm?”

“Hua Hua, Hua Hua…”

“Mm-hmm.” Hua Suihe closed her eyes. After the night’s chaos, she finally felt relaxed enough to be sleepy.

“Maybe sleeping like this, with the sky as our blanket and the earth as our bed, isn’t so bad.” Hua Suihe yawned and patted the soft cotton cushion beneath her. Black Cotton Candy was very sensible; its black blanket spread out across the ground.

Hua Suihe pulled Ye Susheng down to lie with her, curling up in her arms to find a comfortable position. She murmured, “Let’s just sleep like this for the night. Will Black Cotton Candy get tired?”

Ye Susheng blinked. The black mist took the initiative to transform into a quilt, covering them both. The black mist loved clinging to Hua Hua; it proactively wrapped around Hua Hua’s feet, intending to keep her from getting cold, but instead, it tasted a sweet, metallic tang.

Ye Susheng sat up abruptly, a panicked look on her face. With a tense expression, she grabbed Hua Suihe’s foot, clutching her ankle to inspect the sole.

Hua Suihe had already closed her eyes to coax herself to sleep. She had finally found a cozy spot, only for her wife to sit up and grab her foot.

Hua Suihe wiggled her leg, trying to pull back, but she couldn’t move. “What are you doing?”

“Hua Hua, you’re hurt…” Ye Susheng’s eyes turned red again. She had been so careless; she hadn’t even noticed that Hua Hua had been barefoot the whole time. She had been teleported directly from her bed and hadn’t had time to put on shoes.

Hua Suihe had been standing barefoot on the sand; the plant thorns and coarse grains would have caused her pain. Ye Susheng only noticed now, realizing she had let Hua Hua suffer for so long.

“I’m sorry, Hua Hua, I was so careless, waah…”

“Stop, stop, stop.” Hua Suihe forcefully pulled her foot from the other’s grip. She sat up and used the moonlight to examine her foot, finding only three tiny nicks. They seemed to have happened a while ago; the wounds were already healed, though the scars hadn’t had time to fade yet.

Hua Suihe patted the bottom of her foot dismissively. “Oh, it’s just this little bit. It’s fine now. If you’d noticed any later, the marks would be gone.”

She had gotten those when she was first teleported over. She had been so nervous at the time that she hadn’t even felt the injuries. Later, after activating her defense, she couldn’t feel anything she stepped on, and she had forgotten she wasn’t wearing shoes.

The black mist touched and nuzzled her feet distressedly, like little therapeutic fish in a pond.

Hua Suihe let it be and pulled Ye Susheng back down to lie with her, this time with a firmer tone. “I’m really fine. You’ve cried enough today, no more crying. What if your eyes hurt tomorrow?”

Hua Suihe closed her eyes and drew closer to her. “Hold me and go to sleep. I’m very, very tired.”

Hua Suihe truly was exhausted; she fell asleep in no time.

Ye Susheng lay on her side, staring at Hua Suihe’s sleeping face. In the past, even when she didn’t sleep, she wouldn’t stare like this, but now she didn’t even blink, terrified that Hua Suihe might suddenly vanish again.

She couldn’t stop working.

She had to go back to work. Hua Hua was a player bound by Thriller; if she didn’t work, she would have no way to stay by Hua Hua’s side at all times.

One day, she would completely shatter the rules of Thriller.

Hua Hua, Hua Hua…

Hua Suihe slept deeply, but when she woke up, the sky was only just beginning to brighten. Instinctively, she whispered a morning greeting to the person beside her.
Ye Susheng replied, “Morning, Hua Hua. Awake already?”

“Mm.” Hua Suihe stayed curled up in her arms. It was her first time camping out in the wild, and with the black mist acting as both tent and bed, she leaned down and kissed the Black Cotton Candy quilt.

“Do you want to go home now, Hua Hua? I’ll take you back.” Ye Susheng wasn’t the dungeon BOSS this time, so at first she didn’t know this dungeon’s clear conditions. After calming down last night, she figured it out.

Take Hua Hua to the edge of the desert, follow the players’ route to clear the dungeon and get out-and then she could take Hua Hua home.

“No rush.” Hua Suihe rolled over, stretched lazily, and sat up to look at the endless yellow sea of sand. The sun climbed higher and higher, and the dunes glittered like gold.

“I’ve never traveled to a desert before, and I’ve never seen one this huge. We can go look around at the scenery.” Besides, she was with Ye Susheng right now. There was no need to hurry home.

Ye Susheng sat up too. She couldn’t have cared less about whatever scenery was in front of them-her eyes held only Hua Suihe. And she listened to Hua Suihe in everything; if Hua Hua wanted to see it, she wouldn’t ruin the mood. “You’re right, Hua Hua. I’ve never been here either.”

“Are there natives in the desert? Will there be an Oasis? A mirage? Or camels…” She’d accidentally stepped into quicksand last night, but it had been so dark she hadn’t really looked around. They’d just wandered at random. Even seeing things from a distance would be fine.

Hua Suihe sank into thought, trying to think of what else you could see in a desert. Venomous snakes and scorpions were a pass-she wasn’t that curious.

Ye Susheng offered eagerly, “I know where there’s an Oasis!”

As for natives-there were none. A desert tainted by Thriller Contamination had no humans-only players and Anomaly. There was nothing worth seeing; it was best to avoid everyone so their two-person world wouldn’t be disturbed.

Ye Susheng pinched the black mist into the shape of shoes and slipped them onto Hua Suihe’s feet. “Put your shoes on, Hua Hua.”

Hua Suihe looked down at the Black Cotton Candy on her feet and poked it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The black mist just kept making little nuzzling motions, completely unconcerned with whether it tickled.

Hua Suihe spread her hands helplessly. “How am I supposed to do anything like this?”

[Morning, Hua Hua~]

[8888 Life Supplies. No idea if there are shoes in it-check for yourself.]

[Gu Gu is going hard first thing in the morning?]

[Missed it last night. Today I, Tycoon Gu, am squeezing in every chance I get.]

Hua Suihe heard the sound of a gift being redeemed. A pink backpack appeared two meters away.

It was close enough that Hua Suihe started to crawl over to grab it, but Ye Susheng tugged her back. Holding Hua Suihe by the wrist, she asked softly, “Where are you going, Hua Hua?”

Hua Suihe blinked, then pointed at the bag. “To pick up the supply pack.”

The black mist immediately swept out and rolled it back to her.

It unzipped the bag, emptied its contents, and pushed the items in front of Hua Suihe. It saved her a lot of effort, and she gave a small smile.

There was a pair of slippers. Hua Suihe motioned for Ye Susheng to move the black mist away, then she put the slippers on.

There were toiletries, water, and bread.

After washing up, Hua Suihe split the bread and handed Ye Susheng half. “Let’s eat breakfast first, then go.”

Ye Susheng took it obediently. “We’ll go to the Oasis. I’ll cook lunch for you, Hua Hua.”

Hua Suihe hummed twice, stuffed the unused things back into the backpack, and started eating.

Once a supply pack was no longer useful, it would be destroyed by the System. So after they ate and drank their fill, the backpack disappeared too. This kind of gift was always one-time use.

Ye Susheng watched the backpack appear out of nowhere and vanish just as suddenly, without asking a single question.

She remembered that Hua Hua didn’t have the points shop. These things, including last night’s fireworks…

Ye Susheng smiled. “Hua Hua, let’s go.”
