Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 116

Chapter 116

After Wen Mo left, the air fell silent for a moment. Hua Suihe looked down at the heart-shaped fireworks arranged on the ground.

“Hua Hua, I’m back!” Ye Susheng’s timing was impeccable-exactly ten minutes had passed. She was carrying the late-night snacks Hua Suihe had requested.

Ye Susheng stepped forward to stand beside Hua Suihe, lifting the bags in her hand with a beaming face. “Hua Hua, Hua Hua, I bought everything!”

She completely ignored the fireworks neatly laid out on the ground.

Ye Susheng knew Hua Suihe had intentionally sent her away to buy things. She had been sensible enough to wait exactly ten minutes before returning, even preparing herself for the worst-case scenario: that Hua Hua might be trying to abandon her.

That was how it happened in some novels, after all.

Fortunately, Hua Hua wasn’t that cruel; she had stayed right here waiting for her. Ye Susheng decided she should stop reading novels after Hua Hua fell asleep; those stories were useless as relationship references.

Hua Suihe took the various bags of food from her. Instead of checking them immediately, she gestured toward the heart-shaped fireworks on the ground.

In the livestream chat, the “Ignite” spam had already reached 999+. This time, no one took it upon themselves to send the auto-ignite gift; since this was Streamer Bae’s first attempt at romance, everyone was waiting for Hua Suihe’s command.

“They’re fireworks. There aren’t as many as last time, but you didn’t get to appreciate them then. This time, I’m setting off a heart just for you.”

At that moment, someone sent an auto-ignite gift. Ten firework fuses were lit simultaneously.

Sensing a hint of danger, Ye Susheng instinctively pulled Hua Suihe back a short distance. Just then, the fireworks shot into the sky together.

The display reflected in Ye Susheng’s eyes. She stared up blankly as the fireworks bloomed, lighting up the night sky. Her heart hammered in sync with the rhythmic booms.

Hua Hua hadn’t been trying to abandon her; she had been secretly preparing a romantic surprise. Hua Hua really, really loved her.

While she watched the fireworks, Hua Suihe turned to look at her with a smile. Noticing a tear trailing down the corner of Ye Susheng’s eye, she instinctively reached out to wipe it away.

Hua Suihe teased, “Why are you crying? Did the light hurt your eyes?”

Ye Susheng’s lip trembled. She turned and pulled Hua Suihe into her arms, resting her head on the other girl’s shoulder as she wept silently.

“Hua Hua, you have to keep loving me like this… you must always love me…” She held Hua Suihe tightly. Behind them, the fireworks continued to bloom, illuminating the embracing couple.

[Great, the fireworks were for me again (sarcasm).]

[I feel like this dungeon can just end now. You two are so lovey-dovey, just go home already.]

[Ye Susheng is so awkward. Hua Hua is clearly expressing her love without reservation, yet she still seems so insecure.]

[Mhm, it’s definitely related to what Wen Mo wanted to say.]

[He even called my Hua a ‘sweet simpleton.’ Hua has been through so many dungeons now; she definitely knows what she needs to know.]

[Is Ye Susheng afraid that Hua Hua, being part of the human faction, will eventually part ways with her?]

[Actually, for humans, the Thriller is like a genetic virus-it’s something terrifying.]

Hua Suihe reached up to stroke the back of Ye Susheng’s long hair, chattering away to distract her. “Do you like fireworks that much? We’ll set them off again in the future. Fireworks are banned in the city, but we can rent a drone light show; those have way more patterns.”

“Have you never seen fireworks before? I set them off every year. Some have so many designs and are really beautiful. Our current conditions are limited, but we’ll definitely have the chance to see even prettier ones later.”

There was no helping it; the fireworks gifted in the livestream were very robotic and lacked variety.

“It’s not about the fireworks…” Ye Susheng said in a muffled voice. Her tears soaked Hua Suihe’s shoulder, and she pressed her face against the fabric to warm the cold dampness with her skin.

Hua Suihe hummed softly. “The fireworks are just the supporting act. We’re the main characters.”

She shared the same wish: that ‘we’ would never be apart.

Ye Susheng held her even tighter, seeking warmth. “Hua Hua, I love you. Never leave me behind.”

She would work hard, she would earn money, and she would solve the side effects the Thriller had on Hua Hua-like being forced into dungeons. As long as Hua Hua stayed with her and loved her.

While she was lost in thought, Hua Suihe spoke into her ear. “Sweetie, don’t keep things bottled up. If something’s on your mind, you have to tell me. You have to trust me.”

Ye Susheng’s body stiffened. She felt as though Hua Hua had seen right through her. However, she didn’t dare reveal the secret she had hidden for so many days. She continued to use her clumsy acting to cover it up. “I’m not hiding anything from you, Hua Hua.”

Hua Suihe let out a light chuckle. “I don’t think I said you were hiding anything.”

Ye Susheng: “…”

She remained stubborn. “Regardless, I’m really not.”

She had just read too many novels and realized how grave her actions were. It was no exaggeration to say that her actions had deprived Hua Hua of her life in the 3D world.

In countless romance novels, no one ever fell in love with the person who killed them. Rebirth novels made it very clear: the person who killed the female lead had no right to be the official love interest.

If Hua Hua found out the truth, the consequences would surely be dire.

Fortunately, Ye Susheng didn’t need to sleep; otherwise, these thoughts would have kept her tossing and turning every night.
