Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 145

Ruan Qiu spoke casually, omitting every moment when she brushed past death in the Infinite Flow World, as well as the pain of losing teammates one by one and many horrifying experiences that would terrify anyone just by hearing about them.

Xue Wu naturally sensed her omissions, but he didn’t want to press further and remind Ruan Qiu of those painful memories, so he simply nodded softly, indicating he was listening.

“Out of distrust for the Infinite Flow system,” Ruan Qiu continued, “I initially thought there must be monsters in this world as well, which is why I misunderstood you. I still feel this world is unsafe. The reason I’m uncertain about whether I’ll leave or not is that I saw someone.”

Ruan Qiu curled her hands in her lap, revealing her anxiety. “That person is the current president of the Martial Arts Association, named Zheng Jiu. He looks very similar to my martial arts teacher in the Infinite Flow World.”

“I heard my teacher mention that he had a brother who looked just like him but didn’t tell me the name. I always felt that Zheng Jiu might be my teacher’s biological brother, but if he really is, it would mean this world had been visited by the Infinite Flow system before.” Ruan Qiu’s grip tightened, her knuckles turning pale. “But the Infinite Flow system initially claimed that this world is completely independent and safe.”

“If the Infinite Flow system truly goes back on its word,” Ruan Qiu took a deep breath, “I can’t be sure if I can stay here.”

After saying this, she looked at Xue Wu and found his face pale, appearing even more terrified than she was.

According to the theory that one would become less anxious when someone else was more nervous, Ruan Qiu felt herself relax. She smiled reassuringly at Xue Wu, saying, “Don’t worry. To ensure the integrity of the world line, I have to finish filming ‘Please Date Me,’ this reality dating show. The Infinite Flow systems won’t intervene until the main storyline is completed.”

Out of selfishness, she didn’t tell Xue Wu that this world was a book, and she was merely a cannon fodder supporting character, not the beloved main character.

However, she was very clear that a complete book had its own narrative trajectory. Since this book revolved around a reality dating show, the world line wouldn’t be disrupted until the main storyline concluded, meaning she was safe.

Although Xue Wu didn’t understand what “world line” meant, he gathered from Ruan Qiu’s words that they still had a safe period of time, which made his previously tense body relax a bit.

Ruan Qiu asked Xue Wu, “What do you want for lunch?”

Xue Wu was still in a daze. “Anything is fine.”

Seeing Ruan Qiu take out her phone to order takeout, he sighed helplessly and said, “Let me cook.”

He got up and found an apron in the kitchen to tie on. Then he took out ingredients from the refrigerator, preparing to make lunch for Ruan Qiu. Watching him move so naturally, Ruan Qiu leaned against the kitchen door in a bit of a daze before Xue Wu shooed her out of the kitchen and back to the sofa to continue watching TV.

It turned out that doing housework indeed helped calm one’s mood. By the time Xue Wu was putting rice into the rice cooker, he had already calmed down. He thought that, according to Ruan Qiu, the power of the Infinite Flow system was tremendous, capable of transporting people to another world, and neither he nor Ruan Qiu had the power to resist.

So, Xue Wu made a decision: starting from that moment, he would stay by Ruan Qiu’s side every moment, cherishing every second they spent together. This way, even if Ruan Qiu really left this world, he hoped he could do so without regrets.

…That was a lie.

Xue Wu couldn’t help but chop a bit harder; he thought that if Ruan Qiu really left, he would definitely go crazy.

It was Ruan Qiu who pulled him back from the brink of death, telling him to live well. If she wasn’t around, then he wouldn’t have any reason to live.

Suddenly, Ruan Qiu spoke up from the sofa, breaking his thoughts, “What about Nan Jing?”

“Nan Jing is with Brother Lin,” Xue Wu replied. “He’s safe there. The Qin family can’t find any materials to do a paternity test, and there’s no evidence to look for him, so you don’t need to worry.”

“I told his teacher that he is studying at home now. The assignments and exams from school will be picked up by an assistant, so he won’t fall behind in his studies.”

Ruan Qiu nodded. She and Xue Wu finished lunch together, then watched the unfinished TV drama on the sofa.

Ruan Qiu rubbed her eyes, looking at Xue Wu, who was snugly sitting beside her. She inexplicably felt he resembled a clingy big cat.

She could no longer connect the person sitting beside her, wrapped in a fluffy blanket and intently watching TV, with the earlier image of him as someone who appeared gentle but was actually very indifferent and uncaring toward anyone.

Noticing her gaze, Xue Wu turned to her, his long eyelashes brushing past, his deep eyes gazing at her gently as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ruan Qiu quickly blinked and turned her head, saying, “Nothing.”

She felt that she might really have developed feelings for Xue Wu.

But this big cat was insisting on living in her home, watching her all the time to prevent her from leaving. Ruan Qiu felt a headache coming on and fell silent.

However, the expression on Xue Wu’s face was too pitiful. He was much taller than her, and seeing him like that was simply hard to resist.

Noticing Ruan Qiu’s wavering resolve, Xue Wu added fuel to the fire. He softly said to her, “Teacher Ruan, I’m really scared. I’m afraid that one day I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone.”

Xue Wu raised his hand to touch Ruan Qiu’s soft cheek. Seeing she didn’t reject him, he placed his entire palm against her face, his thumb gently brushing over her flushed cheek. “Ruan Ruan, I want to spend more time with you, okay?”

Ruan Qiu blinked, feeling her cheeks heat up quickly under Xue Wu’s palm. She couldn’t handle his actions and instinctively took a step back, making his hand leave her cheek. Then she quickly raised her hands to cover her face, mumbling a reluctant “mm” in agreement.

Leaning against her bedroom door, Ruan Qiu decided to hold her ground and firmly said to Xue Wu, “Then you can stay in the guest room.”

Xue Wu’s expression of grievance instantly vanished.

Seeing Xue Wu smile, Ruan Qiu suddenly felt like she had been tricked. Just as she was about to take back her words, Xue Wu had already called Brother Lin, asking him to bring over his belongings because he wanted to live with Ruan Qiu.
