Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 40

After they left the commercial district, scenes straight out of a horror movie unfolded behind them, but Hua Suihe was completely unaware.

The two of them waited for the bus at the stop, and before long, the white No. 33 bus arrived.

By the time they got home, the sun had already set and dusk had fallen.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw a large package waiting for them.

With Hua Suihe around, Ye Susheng had gradually become aware of the poor quality of life at home. So from time to time, she would ask the bus driver to help her buy things online. This time, it was a set of solar-powered lights-finally, they could pawn the luminous pearl for some cash.

After her shower, Hua Suihe sat on the bed, fiddling with all the features of her smartwatch. Back at home, there was never much to do, especially when Su Sheng worked night shifts. Alone, she got bored easily and always went to bed early.

Now, with a smartwatch in hand, she played with it endlessly. Only when she realized it was getting late did she notice that Ye Susheng wasn’t even home.

“Ye?” Hua Suihe looked toward the doorway, where a figure was crouched.

Ye Susheng was squatting by the door, her back to the room, unmoved by Hua Suihe’s call.

Normally, she was so clingy with Hua Suihe that she practically wanted to grow onto her. But tonight, for the first time, she was sitting alone, quietly wallowing in her feelings.

Hua Suihe had no idea what was wrong. She got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and walked over.

On her day off, Su Sheng had already changed into pajamas-a simple black satin set that almost blended into the darkness outside the door.

Hua Suihe patted her on the shoulder and crouched down beside her. “What are you doing here? Watching the moon?”

Strangely enough, the moonlight usually lit up the yard and drove away the night, but tonight the moon was nowhere to be seen, and the darkness was so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

When she saw what Ye Susheng was doing, Hua Suihe’s eyes widened. “What are you doing?”

Ye Susheng had a beef stick stuffed in her mouth, her eyes red at the corners, tears clinging to her lashes. Her teary, red eyes looked pitifully at Hua Suihe, with two clear tracks of tears down her cheeks. Who knew how long she’d been crying here.

Crying and eating at the same time, with a pile of empty snack wrappers at her feet.

Hua Suihe cupped her face in both hands, wiping away her tears with her fingers, teasing and coaxing her at the same time: “Oh dear, what’s wrong, what’s wrong~ Who’s this little crybaby hiding here, sneaking snacks?”

Hua Suihe couldn’t wipe her tears fast enough; after she arrived, Ye Susheng’s tears fell even faster, streaming down her face. She shrank back, dodging Hua Hua’s hands on her cheeks.

She dumped the rest of the beef jerky into her mouth, forcing herself to finish it all in one go.

She reached into the snack stash beside her, but it was already empty. Instead of snacks, her hand found another hand.

Hua Suihe gripped her hand tightly and moved closer. Ye Susheng turned her head away, deliberately avoiding Hua Suihe’s gaze, but a cold hand cupped her cheek and turned her face back.

Hua Suihe’s hand slid around to the back of her neck, drawing even closer. The two of them were now face to face, Ye Susheng’s back pressed against the door, with nowhere left to retreat.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were having an episode? You can’t handle it alone.”

Ye Susheng stared at her face, red light flickering in her pupils-her eyes like a starving beast eyeing prey that had walked right into its trap, fangs glinting in the dark.

Hua Hua…

Ye Susheng was in agony. She couldn’t suppress her hunger for Hua Hua. Even sitting by the door, with Hua Hua so far away, her scent still wouldn’t let Ye Susheng go-it clung to her even more than the black mist ever could.
But whenever she left, when there was no longer Hua Hua’s scent, when she couldn’t feel Hua Hua’s presence, Ye Susheng would sink again into uncontrollable anxiety and unease. Only with Hua Hua by her side could she feel truly at ease.

“Hua Hua, Hua Hua, I want Hua Hua, Hua Hua, wuwuwu what should I do…”

Ye Susheng cried so hard she was gasping for air, but her arms clung even tighter around Hua Suihe, refusing to let go. She buried her face in Hua Hua’s neck, licking and nibbling, yet none of it could soothe her at all.

She didn’t know what to do. This wild desire had no proper outlet, so it kept accumulating, becoming stronger and more overwhelming, until the word ‘desire’ was rampant in her heart, growing like wild vines and threatening to burst from her chest.

A torrent of black mist surged out, wrapping itself around Hua Suihe, desperate to press up against every cell of Hua Hua’s body, as if she wanted to merge with her completely. And then… and then she didn’t know what to do next, left wandering, helpless and lost, with a hunger that could never be filled.

From Ye Susheng’s fragmented whispers, Hua Suihe managed to catch a few words. “You want to eat Hua Hua?”

“You want to eat me?”

Hearing Hua Suihe’s question, Ye Susheng felt as if the sky was collapsing, as if she had fallen into an icy pit, sentenced to death.

She had such frightening thoughts about Hua Hua-surely Hua Hua would be afraid. She could only sob helplessly, holding even tighter, terrified that Hua Suihe would push her away, and even more afraid to see fear in Hua Hua’s eyes.

“You’re crying just because of this?”

What answered her was a gentle, understanding voice.

Ye Susheng stared in a daze, feeling Hua Hua’s fingers threading through her hair, petting her gently like a puppy, softly ruffling her head.

“You want to eat me but don’t tell me? Instead, you sneak off to eat the beef jerky?” Hua Suihe said, her tone a mix of helplessness and amusement. “All the snacks we stocked up at home, you finished them in one go. Isn’t your mouth salty?”

“Let me see if you really taste like beef jerky.” After saying this, Hua Hua leaned over to lick Ye Susheng’s lips, gently coaxing her to open her mouth, savoring every bit of flavor inside.

Finally, she added, “Salty and sweet-it actually tastes pretty good.”

“Hua Hua… you’re not angry with me?”

“Angry about what?” Hua Suihe gave a reserved, gentle smile, like a kindhearted mentor. “It’s perfectly normal for couples to have thoughts like this. I want to eat Ye Susheng too.”

“You want to eat me too?” Ye Susheng blinked, looking bewildered and troubled. “I’d be willing to let Hua Hua eat me, but maybe you wouldn’t be able to bite through.”

With Hua Hua’s teeth, actually eating her wouldn’t be easy. But Ye Susheng was willing. If Hua Hua couldn’t chew her, she could grind herself up and feed herself to Hua Hua instead.

So, with a determined look, Ye Susheng asked again, “Hua Hua, do you really want to eat me?”

Ye Susheng’s upright and serious tone made it obvious to Hua Suihe that her train of thought must be completely different from her own.

“Not literally like eating-couples have their own way of ‘devouring’ each other.”

Feeling Ye Susheng’s body temperature gradually return to normal, Hua Suihe stood up and pulled Ye Susheng up with her. “Come on, let’s go back to the room.”

Hua Suihe let Ye Susheng lie down on the bed, and Ye Susheng immediately knew what sort of game Hua Suihe wanted to play.

It was the same as before: exchanging kisses and gentle bites, leaving beautiful red marks on her neck, shoulders, and collarbone.

Maybe this could help relieve her craving a little. Ye Susheng accepted it.

So, full of anticipation, Hua Suihe began to unbutton Ye Susheng’s pajamas.

Ye Susheng’s breath caught-this seemed to be the first time they’d played this way.

It was also Hua Suihe’s first time doing this in person. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t nervous.

Cradling the softness in both hands, Hua Suihe lowered her head and, before beginning, whispered, “If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me, okay?”
