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

Xia Xiaoqin felt like her head was about to explode.

At this moment, the three men formed a triangle around her, and the atmosphere was so tense that it felt like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

"Anyway..." Xia Xiaoqin took a deep breath and decided to stabilize the situation first. "A lot has happened. Lu Yang and I both survived. We'll talk about the details later."

Qin Bufei raised an eyebrow, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze passed over her shoulder, landing on the man carrying the long, cloth-wrapped sword.

Shen Yan was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and the boy's lips slowly curved up, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"So, what's the deal with this famous top player, Shen Yan, here?"

Qin Bufei tilted his head, twirling the butterfly knife between his fingers.

"I just heard that Young Master Shen has a new girlfriend. He rescued her like a hero. That's quite a piece of news," Shen Yan said without looking at him.

He was indifferent to everyone else, as if they were nothing more than air.

He said he was my fiancé.

Xia Xiaoqin filled in the second half of the sentence for Shen Yan.

"Anyway, it seems like we met in real life before..."

The carriage was silent for a moment.

Qin Bufei blinked, looked at Xia Xiaoqin, then at Shen Yan, then at Lu Yang beside him, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I see." The boy's tone became lighter, with a carefree teasing tone. "The law doesn't say a person can't have two boyfriends, so sister, this should be normal, right?"

"That's not how it is...it's complicated..."

Xia Xiaoqin sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead.

"Complex? How complex? But sister, I'm curious, do you not remember him, or did you never remember him at all?"

Qin Bufei fiddled with the butterfly knife, tilting his head as if he were pondering some interesting question.

"It couldn't have been a one-night stand, could it? Wow, you're amazing! People are starting to see you in a new light!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Xiaoqin felt her face burning. "I—I really can't remember. Amnesia isn't something I can control!"

She glanced at Lu Yang subconsciously.

The man had that familiar, yet dangerous, expression on his face.

This was the expression he had when he was a child in the orphanage, before he was about to fight someone.

Xia Xiaoqin quickly steered the conversation back on track, cleared her throat, and looked at Qin Bufei solemnly.

"Qin Bufei, I haven't had a chance to thank you in person for what happened before."

"In the Lu Family Mansion instance, it was because you didn't cancel our teammate relationship that Lu Yang and I were able to survive. Thank you."

Qin Bufei's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly resumed his carefree demeanor.

"No need to thank me, I just forgot."

"Whether you forgot or did it on purpose, we owe you a life." Xia Xiaoqin looked at him earnestly. "So now we're practically brothers in arms, right?"

She looked at Qin Bufei, then at Shen Yan, and patted the back of Lu Yang's hand that was wrapped around her waist.

"Whether we knew each other before or not, we're all acquaintances now. The most important thing right now is to survive. We'll settle our score later."

Upon hearing this, Qin Bufei picked up the blood-stained cloth bag in his hand, waved it in front of Xia Xiaoqin, and leaned closer with a smile on his face.

"Sister, don't think too much about it. Just get off at the next stop with me."

"Look, these are all eyeballs. I'll give you half; surely one of them will be type AB. Just hand them all over, and you're all set, right?"

Xia Xiaoqin glanced at the cloth bag.

Dark gray blood seeped from the gaps in the fabric, dripping onto the ground. Inside the bag, the round shape of eyeballs could be vaguely seen, huddled together.

She suppressed the nausea churning in her stomach and waved her hand.

"Thanks, but no need."

Qin Bufei pursed his lips, about to continue his persuasion, when a cold voice suddenly interrupted.

"Get off in three stops."

It was Shen Yan who spoke.

He had been silent like a statue until he suddenly spoke, which surprised even Qin Bufei.

"Why is it the third station?" Xia Xiaoqin pressed.

Shen Yan's gaze swept across her face, then glanced at Lu Yang behind her. His thin lips were pressed into a line, as if he had no intention of explaining.

Lu Yang, however, became interested.

He tilted his head slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, his tone languid and nonchalant: "What did Ready Player One figure out? Tell me."

Shen Yan's gaze fell on Lu Yang, then shifted away.

He chose to completely ignore it, as if Lu Yang's words weren't worth wasting a single word on.

The atmosphere in the carriage became subtle again.

Xia Xiaoqin was caught in the middle, feeling like a translation machine without pay.

She sighed and resignedly asked, "Shen Yan, what did you figure out? Tell us."

Shen Yan lowered his head and fell silent again.

Finally, he sighed softly.

Only those that don't exist can remain.

After a pause, Shen Yan raised his eyes again from under the brim of his hat and looked calmly at Xia Xiaoqin.

"To get off the train, we must make sure we don't have anything on us that matches the name of the platform. The person standing on the head had a head, so they lost their head. The person standing on the happiness platform thought that platform was the best answer and showed their happiness, so they fell into the abyss. The fear platform and the eyeball platform all follow the same rule."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened in disbelief.

That seems to make sense!

The lost and found service on Eyeball Station works on the same principle!

Just then, Shen Yan turned his head slightly and glanced at the remaining station names on the electronic screen.

"But three stops later, there will be a platform where we can get off."
