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

Rumbling--

The roaring thunder drowned out Old Master Lu's screams.

The thunder, seemingly piercing the entire courtyard, was deafening and startled Xia Xiaoqin.

Xia Xiaoqin quickly raised her head to listen. She heard that there seemed to be no more movement outside the small door, and the sound of rain seemed to have subsided.

She immediately became anxious.

Did Grandpa Lu close the window?!

"Oh no... there's really no time left. If that window closes, none of us will have a chance to leave!"

Xia Xiaoqin quickly got up and prepared to leave the inner room.

But Lu Yang suddenly cried out in anguish, "Xia Xiaoqin! Don't go! Don't leave me!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists.

Lu Yang had tried to stop her from leaving several times, so she had to make things clear.

So her tone became a little somber.

"Lu Yang, you abandoned me first... Do you think I don't know you're lying? You weren't stabbed by Qin Bufei at all! Qin Bufei was at the ancient well the whole time, and you didn't even go there. How could you have been stabbed by him on the way to the ancient well with me!?"

Hearing Xia Xiaoqin raise her voice to question him, Lu Yang's exposed lips twitched, and his eyes grew increasingly resentful, as if he resented how clever the girl in front of him was.

But the next second, Lu Yang burst into tears at just the right moment.

His voice was filled with grief, and every word was sincere.

"Xiaoqin, it's all my fault. I was so scared that I lied!"

"I can't go to the ancient well with you, it's a death sentence! I'm afraid to see you die, and I'm afraid I'll die too! I don't want to die, Xia Xiaoqin, please! Forgive my cowardice! When I saw that monster, I was really... terrified!"

Seeing Xia Xiaoqin's mouth agape in disbelief, then her fists clenched and she fell silent.

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh mockingly, his bloodied and mangled mouth stretching out in a wide grin.

He knew Xia Xiaoqin would soften her heart!

After all, Xia Xiaoqin really loved the man he played!

The ex-boyfriend who held her hand and evacuated the victims on the day the ghost story unfolded—that was the real "Lu Yang"!

Thinking about everything that happened that day, Lu Yang almost burst out laughing, his expression becoming increasingly ferocious.

He planned to reveal these secrets only when Xia Xiaoqin died!

He really wanted to know how interesting Xia Xiaoqin's expression would be when the truth was revealed, the person she had always regarded as her beloved!

Seeing Xia Xiaoqin's pale face, Lu Yang raised his voice and pressed his advantage.

"Xiaoqin, I'm so sorry!"

"Please give me another chance, Xia Xiaoqin! I'm willing to atone for my mistakes and help you escape! I truly love you!"

In the darkness, the room reeked of damp, musty smells after the rain, as well as the stench of rotting bones.

Xia Xiaoqin, who had remained silent until now, took a deep breath to calm herself down and finally spoke: "What plan have you come up with?"

The moment she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqin suddenly felt the sticky fluid on Lu Yang's body rush towards her.

She instinctively tried to shake him off.

But Lu Yang spoke up anxiously.

"Xiaoqin, don't shake it! You can't see it, but I can! This slime seems to have a mind of its own and can move around! When you wiped me just now, some of the slime on my body got onto you!"

What?

Xia Xiaoqin frowned, then tentatively reached out towards the sticky substance on her clothes.

Immediately, her hands became sticky again, just as Lu Yang had said, the slime immediately clung to her.

"so?"

"So, Xia Xiaoqin, just get all my slime all over you so I can run away! After all, I can see! Then I'll figure out a way to save you!"

In the complete darkness, Xia Xiaoqin's body stiffened.

Her heart pounded so hard that she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

For some reason, a strong intuition told her that she absolutely could not believe that statement!

It's really strange. The person lying on the ground right now is Lu Yang, the person she has always trusted the most.

But why did it feel so unfamiliar to her?

"Xia Xiaoqin, you'll definitely agree, right? You love me too!"

Lu Yang couldn't wait to speak up.

But to his surprise, the response he received was an apology.

"Sorry, no."

Xia Xiaoqin's voice deepened, revealing her utter rationality.

"I love you too, but it's no use, Lu Yang. Your arm and hand are broken; you can hardly go out. Besides... how can I be sure you won't abandon me because you're afraid of doing it again?"

After saying that, Xia Xiaoqin decided to leave first and find a way out before coming back to rescue Lu Yang.

But just as she turned around, a muffled sound came from the darkness behind her.

Lu Yang suddenly sprang up from the ground, like a wild beast that had been lying in wait for a long time, and pounced on Xia Xiaoqin.

"Lu Yang! You're insane—your legs and arms aren't—"

Before Xia Xiaoqin could finish speaking, she was knocked to the ground by a strong force.

The moment the back of her head slammed heavily against the brick floor, the silver bell rang wildly, exploding into a sharp white light in her mind.

In that fleeting glimmer of light, she saw Lu Yang pressing down on her, his faceless features twisted in a grotesque grimace.

She could see clearly what was churning in those eyes.

It is hatred.

Pure and naked hatred.

"Shut up!"

Lu Yang's voice changed; the previous sobbing tone was gone, as was the tenderness. He roared angrily.

"Xia Xiaoqin, if it weren't for your death livestream curse, I wouldn't have become like this! It's all because of you!"

"How can you be so heartless?! You blind fool, could you have survived this long without me? For the past year, I've dragged you from one building to another, what's wrong with helping me? Huh? You useless piece of trash, you've been a burden to me all this time, and now you want to talk to me about judgment?"

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned.

Her mind went blank, as if something had snapped in that instant.

Why would Lu Yang say these things to her?

As she stared blankly at the images fading from her mind, Xia Xiaoqin's voice trembled.

"Lu Yang, I risked my life to save you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang let out a sneer.

Those eyes, which she had gently caressed countless dark nights, trying to discern the emotions within, were now icy cold.

Did I beg you to save me?

"You came to Old Master Lu's house to find me on your own initiative, not the other way around."

The world was plunged into darkness once again.

Xia Xiaoqin opened her mouth, as if to say something, but no sound came out.

The sticky saliva on Lu Yang's body slowly crawled out of him and stuck to Xia Xiaoqin's body.

"How...how could you do this to me...?"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Xia Xiaoqin's face.

But the next second, Lu Yang grabbed her chin fiercely, his tone impatient.

"Xia Xiaoqin, I didn't ask you to come to me before, but now, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Since you're blind and have no chance of surviving in this instance anyway, you might as well die in my place."
