Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online

"Did you touch it?"

Qin Bufei spoke.

After confirming the handwriting, Xia Xiaoqin withdrew her hand.

Then, her fingertips traced the raised mark on the back of her neck, one character at a time, trying to decipher the shape of the characters.

[Lu Family Rules 5/2]

The poor wretch who jumped into the well is here. When you see her, please ignore her.

It really is the rule!

In a flash, Xia Xiaoqin suddenly understood why they hadn't died.

Because they stumbled upon the rules by sheer chance!

Men should abuse the ghost bride, while women should ignore her!

"What exactly did you do?"

Xia Xiaoqin stood up, increasingly suspicious.

But Qin Bufei's voice rang out beside her, very soft, with a hint of something indescribable.

"Sister, this is one of my precognitive dreams. In the dream, someone wanted to obtain that woman's rules. In the end, this person learned that the rules he wanted to obtain required her to penetrate his body, and he must not violate the unknown rules. He died when his body was penetrated by her spirit."

"And in my dream, the person who successfully found this message was you, so I wanted to give it a try."

Xia Xiaoqin was silent for two seconds, then couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

After all, it's such a big deal, and they didn't even tell me, just made me risk my life to prove this bet. It's really ridiculous...

What if you lose?

"Qin Bufei, are you saying you saw me in the future, and therefore knew the solution in advance, which is why you risked your life just now?"

The girl moved the machete away from Qin Bufei's neck and lightly tapped the boy's cheek with the back of the blade.

"Qin Bufei, you're a madman! Shouldn't you pay me? What you're seeing is my future."

Qin Bufei lay on the ground, blinked, and smiled.

His lips, tinged purple from the cold, curved upwards, giving his handsome young face a touch of wickedness.

"OK."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Bufei slowly raised his hand and stuffed something from his school uniform pocket into Xia Xiaoqin's palm.

Xia Xiaoqin made a slight distinction between her fingers.

It feels very light, and there seem to be three items in total.

The first item appeared to be a cold copper button, and the second item was a lighter that smelled strange.

The third item was even stranger; it appeared to be a talisman.

【drop! 】

You have received three clues from your companion "Qin Bufei".

[Current Clue: 4/7]

Xia Xiaoqin froze.

"What are you doing now?" The girl looked up, her empty eyes fixed on Qin Bufei. "Why did you suddenly send me your clues again? What are you doing?"

Qin Bufei sat up from the ground. His movements were slow, as if his legs had not fully regained feeling. He swayed when he stood up and had to reach out to hold onto the edge of the well to steady himself.

"Sister, I need your help."

Gone is the frivolous and cynical tone of before; at this moment, Qin Bufei truly resembles an eighteen-year-old boy, revealing a hint of vulnerability.

"My file is dead."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fingers around the three clues and calmly continued to question them.

"Your file is dead? What does that mean?"

Qin Bufei gasped for breath, leaning against the edge of the well, his back slumped as if he had no strength left.

"Literally, I can't see a future."

The boy paused, as if organizing his thoughts and considering how to explain.

"Sister, last night, after I risked taking those three clues, I took a nap, but I didn't dream about anything. When I woke up, I realized—I think I'm about to die."

As he spoke, Qin Bufei pulled his school uniform up a bit, revealing his arms, and then pulled Xia Xiaoqin's hand over so she could touch it.

The moment Xia Xiaoqin's fingertips touched his arm, goosebumps suddenly broke out all over her body.

Qin Bufei's arm was strange; it was frighteningly cold, and the skin was taut. Pressing on it would leave a shallow indentation that wouldn't spring back for a long time.

This eerie texture doesn't feel like the skin of a living person; it feels more like the skin of a corpse that has been soaking in water for a very long time.

"Like a corpse submerged in well water, isn't that right?"

Qin Bufei put down his school uniform, a half-smile on his face.

"The system notified me that I had violated a special rule, my body was damaged, and a death countdown had begun. I have about 24 hours left."

"But the last time I dreamed, I clearly dreamed that I died because of you." Qin Bufei tilted his head to look at Xia Xiaoqin, his peach blossom eyes narrowing into two crescent moons. "So I want to take a gamble, gamble that you can help me live to that ending—instead of dying prematurely in this instance."

"So, you're risking your life on the person who killed you?"

Xia Xiaoqin's voice was somewhat hoarse.

The overwhelming amount of information was almost too much for her to handle.

However, Qin Bufei was not as panicked as she was.

"Sister, let's make a deal. I'll give you three clues, and you help me gather the rest and get me out of here alive, okay...? I don't want to die here..."

After saying this, Qin Bufei's body went completely limp, and he slowly slid down the edge of the well.

"Qin Bufei?"

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned. She squatted down, grabbed Qin Bufei's shoulders, and shook him hard.

But there was no response.

"elder sister......"

Qin Bufei's voice rang out from the darkness, as if whispering, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Xia Xiaoqin leaned down and brought her ear close to his lips.

"Don't trust your man." The boy's voice trailed off for a moment, then resumed, his breathing weak. "In my dreams about the future... I've never dreamed of him. He's not normal, so... that's why I interrogated you like that just now."

"Because he is the variable that changed the original future."

After saying this, the boy's head tilted to one side, and he completely lost consciousness.
