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

Xia Xiaoqin's voice rose a few decibels, the last syllable trembling uncontrollably.

In the darkness, the man's body temperature was very low. His large hands, through the thin fabric of her clothes, were pressed against her lower back, almost covering most of her waist.

His long, slender fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, teased her waist, creating an irresistible ticklish sensation.

"Don't... don't do anything rash, Lu Yang! My mind is a mess right now. I don't remember anything. I have absolutely no recollection of this fiancé you mentioned!"

Xia Xiaoqin spoke incoherently, trying to get up by placing her hands on his chest.

But as soon as she applied force, the hand gripping her waist tightened abruptly, pressing her back down.

"Don't you remember?"

Lu Yang's voice came from beneath her, deep and magnetic, with a playful languor.

Like a lion poking at its prey with its paws, unhurried and calm.

"Do you need me to help you remember?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang pulled them closer together with his large hand.

The distance was so tight that even through two layers of clothing, she could feel the broad and firm waist of the body beneath her.

In the stuffy and humid room, feeling those hands restraining her once again, Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists, but eventually slowly released them.

She couldn't believe she had really betrayed Lu Yang.

But if this is true...

"sorry."

Xia Xiaoqin lowered her head dejectedly, her smile bleak.

"I never imagined that the one who had changed was me."

"You must be very disappointed in me. Thank you for taking care of me for a whole year, even as my ex-boyfriend, under these circumstances."

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqin couldn't help but tear up.

She once thought they would always be each other's anchor, and that no matter how far they sailed, they would always return to each other's side.

But unexpectedly, she chose to betray him.

In the darkness, the tall figure remained silent.

He slowly raised his hand, his cool fingertips landing on the girl's forehead, gently wiping the still throbbing wound.

Xia Xiaoqin flinched, but ultimately did not dodge.

So the hand slid down her forehead, across her brow bone, across her nose, and finally stopped at her lips.

"Xia Xiaoqin," Lu Yang's voice was soft, tinged with an inexplicable melancholy, "you didn't cheat on me."

"That man is nothing, just a marriage contract you have to fulfill."

"Also, I never agreed to break up."

As he spoke, Lu Yang pressed his fingertip against Xia Xiaoqin's lower lip, applying slight pressure, leaving a shallow indentation on her pale red lips.

"What, an engagement?"

Xia Xiaoqin opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to ask anything.

—In her memory, she was an orphan, so how could there be any marriage contract?

Without a doubt, this is just a euphemism for infidelity.

"Lu Yang, I..."

Xia Xiaoqin subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch Lu Yang's face, wanting to see what expression was on his face at that moment.

She can't see anything; these hands are her eyes.

But her hand was held down.

A large, pale hand gripped her wrist, and then a deep, magnetic voice rang out in the darkness.

"Run away, Xiaoqin. All the slime on you has gotten onto me, so let's get out of this room now. The window is open."

"Let me truly atone for my sins this once."

Xia Xiaoqin did not speak.

The wind and rain outside the window were pattering louder than before.

It was strange that the window, which was supposed to be closed, wasn't closed for some reason, but the sound of rain outside was now loud enough to drown out the sounds of the two people running away.

So Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth, pulled her hand out of the man's palm, and instead grabbed his fingers.

"No, let's leave together now."

"Lu Yang, I've got an idea—won't this slime just transfer to each other? Then let's walk out on three legs, like we did when we were kids, making sure neither of us lets go of the slime wherever it touches us! And coincidentally, your injured leg and my injured ankle are on opposite sides, so if we're fast enough, we can avoid sticking to the ground."

Without needing to say a word, their unspoken understanding immediately made Lu Yang know what to do next.

The man turned his hand around and clasped her five fingers together, interlocking them tightly.

"it is good."

The slime stretched out countless fine silver threads between them, like some kind of sticky bond, tightly entwining the two of them together.

Xia Xiaoqin's back was pressed tightly against Lu Yang's side, and the man's arm was wrapped around her waist. The two of them were like conjoined twins, in an extremely ambiguous position, with the sticky fluid sticking between them.

They moved very smoothly, and soon the two of them pushed open the small wooden door and returned to Grandpa Lu's room.

"Where is Grandpa Lu?"

Xia Xiaoqin lowered her voice and asked cautiously.

"Still lying in bed."

Hearing Lu Yang's reply, Xia Xiaoqin nodded and cautiously took her first step.

The floorboards creaked underfoot.

Both of them stopped.

But in the darkness, there was only the sound of wind and rain; Old Master Lu made no move.

"fine......"

Xia Xiaoqin held her breath and continued to move forward with Lu Yang.

Soon, they were only a few steps away from the gate.

The swaying window let in the smell of rainwater, a mixture of earthy and grassy odors.

The wind outside the window was strong, making Xia Xiaoqin's wisps of hair on her forehead sway incessantly.

Arrived!

Xia Xiaoqin almost burst out laughing.

One step, two steps, three steps.

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin's toe suddenly kicked something, causing her to stumble.

But the next second, the arm around her waist tightened suddenly, pulling her back.

Xia Xiaoqin held her breath, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.

Oh no, has Grandpa Lu woken up?!

But Lu Yang seemed to chuckle softly, then tightened his arms around her waist, pulling the girl into his embrace.

"Don't worry, he will never wake up."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin felt relieved.

But the next second, she froze.

Why will it never wake up?

"Lu Yang, why did you say he won't wake up?"

In the darkness, a tall figure stood still, the hem of his groom's attire swaying slightly in the eerie wind.

Xia Xiaoqin asked again in confusion, and the thing under her feet became clearer and clearer under her probing, soft and squishy, ​​like a person.

So she couldn't help but turn to the side and poke it again with her toe.

"Don't look back, Xia Xiaoqin."

"What?"

Not having heard the man's words clearly, Xia Xiaoqin subconsciously turned her head.

The silver bell suddenly rang out.

"Oh no!!!"

Xia Xiaoqin's face turned deathly pale. The moment the white light exploded in her mind, she saw a scene.

Old Master Lu was trampled under her feet. His withered old face was facing her, his cloudy eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his long, scarlet tongue drooped limply at the corner of his mouth. He died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

And behind her, the man's hand hanging at his side was pale, long, and with distinct knuckles.

Rule number three: Don't look back.

She disobeyed.

"Ah! You're not Lu Yang! You're it!"

Xia Xiaoqin let out a short scream and fell forward.

Her hand instinctively reached out towards the outside.

The coolness of the rain and the gentle breeze outside brushed against the girl's fingertips.

So close!

It was so close!!!

But just as Xia Xiaoqin stretched her hand out completely outside, a large hand reached out from behind, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her back from the window, back into that cold and broad embrace.

The man's chin rested on her shoulder, his lips close to her ear, his voice icy as he murmured.

"I told you, don't look back."

"Xia Xiaoqin".
