Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 39

After buying the electronic watch, their pockets were basically emptied; the money left wasn’t even enough to get into a restaurant.

For a proper date, to save money, since they couldn’t afford a fancy restaurant, Hua Suihe took Ye Susheng to see a movie. The double ticket package came with complimentary cola and a bucket of popcorn.

They had their tickets checked and entered the theater.

It was a daytime screening, and aside from Hua Suihe and Ye Susheng, there was no one else-it felt like a private showing.

The theater lights went out, leaving only the glow of the screen ahead.

“This is a horror movie, and the 4D experience is very immersive,” Hua Suihe said, helping Ye Susheng put on the polarized glasses, then putting on her own.

She picked up the cup of cola and took a sip; the fizzy soda tingled her throat, instantly refreshing her.

Ye Susheng, not used to it, adjusted the temples of her glasses. Once she put them on, the text on the big screen immediately popped out in 3D.

“When I picked up the tickets, the staff said they didn’t expect anyone to watch this horror film. Apparently, it’s really scary-people leave in a daze for a long time after.” Hua Suihe placed the cola on her left, held Ye Susheng’s hand with her right, her voice slightly tense but more so filled with inexplicable excitement.

“Is it really that scary?” Ye Susheng didn’t understand what level of scary it was, her tone purely puzzled.

The movie began.

The story took place in a department store, in front of a stall selling wholesale children’s toys. The owner sat in a recliner, cracking sunflower seeds, completely indifferent to the passersby.

This department store was the largest wholesale market in the area’s commercial center, attracting many people coming to check out goods and place orders, so the place was bustling.

The male owner spat out a seed shell, looked at Hua Suihe and Ye Susheng, and muttered, “The weather’s changing.”

Suddenly, the lights overhead went out. The owner jumped up, “Power’s out! Run outside, don’t stay in the building!”

“Hurry! If you don’t get out now, it’ll be too late!” He rushed out from his stall, reaching to grab Hua Suihe’s wrist.

Ye Susheng’s gaze turned cold, pulling Hua Suihe to her side. A black mist wrapped around the man’s wrist bone, and with a crack, crushed it.

The man stared at Ye Susheng in horror, then abandoned the two of them and ran off.

Everyone screamed, panicking as they rushed toward the main entrance.

Hua Suihe held her glasses with both hands, marveling, “The 4D in this world is way too realistic. Is movie interaction really this strong?”

Ye Susheng took off her glasses, but the scene before her eyes didn’t change at all.

After the movie began, they were pulled into this department store-this space was being polluted by horror.

Someone came running recklessly from behind, bumping into Hua Suihe. She stumbled forward, but Ye Susheng caught her in time.

Hua Suihe touched her shoulder, asking in disbelief, “Wait… is this movie really that realistic? It feels exactly like being bumped by someone.”

As she spoke, she was about to take off her glasses to see for herself.

Ye Susheng quickly stopped her, pushing her into the corner and, feigning nervousness and fear, hugged her. “Hua Suihe, so this is what horror movies are like.”

“Beep-beep-beep-”

The department store’s main doors had long since closed. A group of desperate people frantically pounded on the iron doors, but it was all in vain.

The alarm rang like a bomb countdown, echoing throughout the building.

The panicked people were struggling as if drowning, their faces flushed red from lack of oxygen.

Hua Suihe comfortingly patted Ye Susheng’s head, her gaze drifting outside. One by one, people’s faces turned red, their hands clutching their own necks, lying on the ground writhing like loaches in a swamp.

“No, I don’t want to, I don’t want to become…”
The humans’ eyeballs bulged unnaturally, tears at the corners of their eyes gradually turning into bloody streaks, messy bloodstains smearing the floor.

Their struggles grew weaker.

Finally, they stopped struggling. Slowly, they rose from the ground. Blood began to seep from their skin, their eyeballs protruded, and when a piece of skin fell to the floor, they picked it up and pressed it back onto themselves.

They turned stiffly, staring toward the corner where Ye Susheng and Hua Suihe were, each step leaving a bloody footprint as they walked toward them.

Hua Suihe’s vision was swallowed by darkness. Ye Susheng reached up to cover her eyes.

Ye Susheng could feel the person in her arms breathing cautiously. She was curious about the development of the movie’s plot, but the process of those people’s monstrous transformation filled her with fear.

Ye Susheng’s soft, cooing voice lingered in Hua Suihe’s ear. “Hua Hua…”

Hua Suihe answered a beat late, “Mm?”

“Hua Hua is scared. Let’s not watch horror movies next time.”

Hua Suihe took a deep breath, pulled down the slender hand covering her eyes, then wrapped both arms around Ye Susheng’s waist and planted a fierce kiss on her lips.

A glint of mischievous satisfaction shone in Hua Suihe’s eyes. “The reason to watch horror movies is to be scared-when you’re scared, you can hold each other like this, comfort each other, steal kisses, and let your feelings heat up…”

The rest of her words were swallowed by Ye Susheng’s lips and teeth. Ye Susheng’s hand gripped the back of Hua Hua’s head, leaving no room to retreat. The sudden kiss poured down like a rainstorm, catching her off guard-lips and tongues entwined, breaths gradually mingling, desire intertwining.

The black mist entities darted out as if crazed, their greed guiding them by instinct, winding from between their fingers up their arms, wrapping upward from their ankles.

They arrived again at that warm, soft place.

Ye Susheng’s eyes suddenly opened, the corners tinged with desire, a blush spreading across them.

She liked it so much.

She had it too. After discovering that spot on Hua Hua last time, she had gone back to study her own anatomy for the first time.

What Hua Hua had, she had as well.

But in the same place, when she touched herself, she didn’t feel anything at all.

Yet when she touched Hua Hua, she wanted to explore it even more deeply-why was it the same, and yet not the same?

Sensing the pause in their kiss, Hua Suihe opened her dazed eyes and instinctively grabbed Ye Susheng’s arms. It wasn’t Ye Susheng’s hand causing trouble.

Was it an illusion?

It was a little ticklish, like a feather brushing lightly across her skin.

Hua Suihe moved her legs, her voice a little hesitant: “It feels like there are ants…”

The black mist entities dared not move, retreating completely into their host, pretending nothing had happened.

Ye Susheng stared at Hua Suihe’s lips, now even redder, her breathing heavier. After a moment, she said in a pitiful tone, “Hua Hua, I really want to eat beef jerky. I want it right now.”

“There’s still some in the bag.”

Hua Suihe took off her polarized sunglasses. In the dim movie theater, the movie screen was still bright, people crowding the screen, their twisted faces pressed against it as if they were about to burst out at any moment.

But at this point, Hua Suihe didn’t care about the horror movie at all. She didn’t notice anything strange on the screen; instead, she scooped up the long-eared rabbit plush from her seat, found the beef jerky, and handed it to Ye Susheng.

“That immersion was over the top; we even stood up,” Hua Suihe muttered, slinging the long-eared rabbit plush onto her back.

“All right, the purpose of watching the movie is fulfilled-let’s go home~”

Ye Susheng chewed fiercely on the beef jerky, but her appetite for Hua Hua only grew stronger.

Following behind Hua Suihe, she finished an entire bag of beef jerky in no time at all, but the desire in her gaze toward Hua Suihe only intensified.

Hua Hua, I want to eat Hua Hua.

(Note: ‘Hua Hua’ = Hua Suihe; ‘Ye Susheng’ and ‘Su Sheng’ refer to the same character.)
