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

Xia Xiaoqin was all too familiar with this kind of body collection cabinet.

She had seen the exact same one when she was a child.

Cold and silent, the neatly arranged metal drawers, each numbered, each containing a person who will never wake up again.

"How could it be a morgue...?"

Xia Xiaoqin's mind went blank.

But Lu Yang calmly took her hand, his voice still as composed as if he were inviting her to dance.

"Honey, let's go."

"This is the last hopeful platform."

In an instant, Xia Xiaoqin grabbed him tightly.

"Wait! Wait! Let's look at something else!"

Xia Xiaoqin forced herself to calm down.

Her gaze swept quickly across the screen, and the names of the next stations came into view.

—Laryngeal station, internal organ station, skeletal station

Each station name corresponds to a part of the human body; losing them would certainly mean death.

"Damn, this platform looks ominous."

Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists, somewhat uncertain.

Just then, Shen Yan stepped out.

He stood in front of the row of metal cabinets, looking around, the brim of his baseball cap casting a shadow under the pale light.

A moment later, he turned his head, his voice as cold as ever.

"Come here, it's alright now."

The alarm for closing the subway doors blared shrilly.

There's no time left.

Xia Xiaoqin looked up at Lu Yang: "Do you believe me?"

Lu Yang lowered his head, his deep eyes fixed on her, and he gripped her hand tightly in return.

"certainly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang pulled Xia Xiaoqin out of the car.

The metal doors behind them slammed shut, and the subway roared away, leaving the three of them stranded on the desolate platform.

"Did I make the right choice...?" Xia Xiaoqin gasped for breath, glancing around with lingering fear.

The platform was quiet.

The mortuary cabinets were neatly arranged against the wall, and the pale white light tubes cast a cold glow.

Click.

But a very faint mechanical sound broke the silence.

Shen Yan's expression changed drastically in that instant.

He suddenly turned his head and rushed towards Xia Xiaoqin, his usually indifferent eyes showing anxiety for the first time.

"Xia Xiaoqin!"

Shen Yan called out the girl's name.

The next second, Lu Yang hugged Xia Xiaoqin from behind.

The man's lips were close to Xia Xiaoqin's ear, his voice extremely low.

"Don't breathe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang wrapped one arm around Xia Xiaoqin's waist and pressed her tightly into his arms, while covering her mouth and nose with his other hand. His slender fingers covered half of her face perfectly, leaving no gaps.

All the body collection cabinets popped open at the same instant.

White mist billowed from every cabinet door, spreading outwards and engulfing the entire platform in a pale fog. The endless stream of white mist swallowed the entire platform.

Xia Xiaoqin held her breath.

She saw the white mist rolling and spreading across the ground as if it were alive.

Then her consciousness began to blur, and the black, white, and gray in her vision gradually faded, turning into a soft void.

In the darkness, a voice came from a very, very far place.

"Welcome to Happiness Supermarket. Staff, please pack your goods and prepare to enter Happiness Supermarket."

.......

Buzz!

Buzz!

A deafening mechanical cacophony erupted.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Xiaoqin opened her eyes.

What came into view were the stark white walls, the faded gray curtains that looked like they had been washed, and the strong smell of disinfectant in the room—all of which reminded her that she was in a hospital room.

Why is this a hospital ward?! Isn't this a supermarket?

Xia Xiaoqin immediately tried to get up.

But as she prepared to stand up, a powerful force suddenly bound her.

She was tied to the bed!

Xia Xiaoqin frowned as he looked at himself. At this moment, his hands were handcuffed above his head, and his feet were chained to the foot of the bed. He was lying on the bed in an indescribable position.

"Why are they tying people up? Isn't this a supermarket? It looks like a hospital..."

Xia Xiaoqin glanced at her hospital gown and tried to struggle a few times.

The iron chains binding his limbs clanged and jingled on the bed.

Clearly, such an unbreakable constraint is not something that humans can break free from.

Xia Xiaoqin frowned even more, and just then, her eyes suddenly noticed a piece of white paper next to the bedside table.

It's a rule sheet!

【Product Information:】

[1. Take the medication as prescribed daily, taking the white pills at 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM.]

2. Follow the doctor's instructions and do not disobey them.

3. Do not leave the ward area.

4. Patients are prohibited from leaving their ward or designated activity area during non-activity hours.

Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened as she stared at the word "product".

She's not a customer, she's a commodity!

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the ward door was pushed open.

"Ms. Xia in bed number 13, how have you been feeling lately?"

A clear, boyish voice rang in Xia Xiaoqin's ears.

Is it Qin Bufei?

Xia Xiaoqin tilted her head and saw Qin Bufei wearing a doctor's white coat, leaning against the door frame with a smile, looking at her.

It seems they're playing different roles... Qin Bufei's outfit... is he a doctor in the game?

Was it because he came to the supermarket through the lost and found?

"I don't feel well. If you could remove my handcuffs, I might feel a little better."

Xia Xiaoqin felt relieved and smiled unconsciously.

The handcuffs on his hands jingled as he shook them.

But Qin Bufei's smile only deepened, and he walked towards her as if he hadn't heard her.

"Sister, according to market regulations, I need to give you a physical examination today."

Are you ready?

The boy squinted, his beautiful peach blossom eyes turning into crescent moons as he smiled, his tone full of pleasure.

"Wait a minute... what did you mean by 'check'?"

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

But seeing Qin Bufei washing his hands very seriously at the sink and approaching her step by step, she realized that what he said was true.

"etc!"

Xia Xiaoqin felt that the situation in front of her was too strange. She struggled to get off the bed, but it was all in vain, causing the iron chains to clang.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'm just following the rules, sister."

Qin Bufei smiled and picked up a ballpoint pen, making several checkmarks on his medical record. Then he took out a pair of white gloves and put them on.

"I omitted many steps to protect my sister's privacy."

"However, an oral examination is unavoidable, so please open your mouth, sister~"

Looking at the boy in front of her lifting her chin, Xia Xiaoqin opened her mouth helplessly.

According to the rules, as a commodity, he had no way to resist the doctor.

"I never would have guessed, sister, you have a cavity. Looks like you used to love sweets?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Bufei smiled and pinched Xia Xiaoqin's chin, looking her up and down.

"you..."

Xia Xiaoqin felt extremely embarrassed, completely baffled.

Just then, the boy brought his lips close to his ear and whispered something.

"Sister, the medicine is poisonous... We need to find a way to get to Market Zero and find the antidote."

medicine?

Does it refer to the medicine mentioned in the rules?

Xia Xiaoqin glanced at Qin Bufei but didn't say anything.

The other person glanced at the ceiling again, seemingly meaningfully, and then distanced themselves.

Is there a surveillance camera on the ceiling?

Xia Xiaoqin glanced at the ceiling, then lowered her eyes.

"Then, sister, the last item is to assess your mental state."

Qin Bufei took off his gloves, smiled, and took out the medical record book to begin his inquiry.

"Sister, have you been having trouble sleeping lately?"

"no."

The boy nodded and checked off his medical record again.

"Have you ever had any strange thoughts, such as feeling like you're a mushroom, or feeling like you can fly?"

"no."
