Chapter 35: The World’s Most Terrifying Stalker
My heart raced, my head throbbed, and my blood felt like it was flowing backward, my entire body burning.
This wasn’t entirely due to the alcohol…
I walked forward as if possessed, the sounds around me gradually fading. All I could hear was my own heartbeat.
It must be Zi’ai. No solid reason, just a feeling, that familiar, almost telepathic pull between us…
Damn it! Why now of all times!
I was staggering even as I walked, how could I possibly get there? And even if I did, would she still be waiting for me?
…None of that matters. No matter what, I have to go.
Find Zi’ai…
That’s my main objective in this world…
I could no longer see anything else. Only her. My body moved towards her instinctively.
“Hey! Kid?”
Someone grabbed my arm.
The next second, a car whizzed past, mere centimeters away.
I wasn’t shocked. But after the car passed, the figure on the rooftop had vanished.
…Where did she go? I have to follow… “Cough…”
I threw up from excitement, my stomach churning. It felt terrible.
“Ngh… How much did you even drink… Kid, are you alright? Huh? Weren’t you the one from that time…”
I tried to lift my head to look at his nameplate.
But there wasn’t one.
He had no nameplate above his head.
I saw it clearly just a moment ago… Was it a hallucination? Damn it, what’s going on!
This is so frustrating… This confusing situation and ambiguous feeling!
“Hey, hey, kid, did you come alone? Do you have a phone? I can help you contact your family to pick you up.”
I shook my head and looked at the person supporting me. It was the man in the suit who had been looking for Lan earlier. Her agent, right?
Ah, Lan was singing here, so her agent had to be with her… Thanks to him, I didn’t end up as a lost cause. I should express my gratitude.
“…Um, thank you. Someone came with me.”
“Wow! You’re still awake? That’s great! Let me help you over there, you should rest for a bit. That was really close just now, you almost got…”
“My body’s a little out of control…”
“I get it, you drank too much! You just sit here without moving, I’ll go get you a glass of water.”
“Ah…”
I wanted to say no, but the agent had already run off, leaving me leaning against the wall.
Right, Lily was still inside… I need to let her know…
I really can’t act alone right now. I need help.
I took out my phone and fumbled with the icons, unable to tap the right one. I accidentally dropped my phone, and it shattered on the spot.
…Is the screen broken?
I bent down to pick up my phone, but I forgot I’d lost my balance and toppled forward…
My cheek met a soft ‘wall’ before hitting the ground, stopping my fall.
“Juncheng! Are you alright?”
…Lily?
“Yes, it’s me! I was looking for you inside, I didn’t expect you to come out…”
“Came out… And… ”
“Really, why did you drink so much… Which group of guys, so many of them, all drinking with you! Despicable!”
“Hehe… But I won… They all fell. I can still come out to brag…”
“…You’re really… I’ll take you back!”
Lily helped me up, wrapping her arm around my waist.
“Ann… Don’t worry, my consciousness is still clear… *hic*”
“What nonsense are you spouting! Do you know how much you drank! Those guys are jerks… Not only did they harass me, but they also got you drunk like this! I shouldn’t have brought you along.”
Lily bit her lip, saying with regret.
“How can that be… I don’t want you to be drunk like this by those men…”
“Why are you always… saying things like that…”
“What… Are you touched by me? Hehe.”
…Yes… I’m touched, by you, you bad man!”
“…You’re the first one to give me a ‘bad guy card’…”
Everyone else gave me ‘good guy cards’…
“You should sleep now, I’ll take you back.”
“…Then I’ll trouble you…”
Hoo, I’m free now…
Finally, I can get a good night’s sleep…
Good night, everyone…
Tick-tock… Tick-tock…
The clock’s ticking grew louder. I groggily opened my eyes. My vision was still blurry. Crucially, the room seemed dark.
My throat burned, and I felt incredibly thirsty.
Where am I?
Before my memory cut off, Lily should have brought me back. So, am I back at Nana’s, or was I sent directly to the dorm…
Speaking of which, what time is it? I can hear ticking, which means there’s a clock in this room… Wait, neither the dorm nor Nana’s house has a clock that ticks like this. Where am I exactly?
Could Lily have taken me to her own home?
Gradually, I regained a sense of my body. I seemed to be lying on a bed.
Well, that’s natural. Sleeping in a bed is fine, but why… am I not wearing any clothes?
Perhaps Lily helped me undress, and since there were no spare clothes, she just left me on the bed. She figured as long as I was covered by the blanket, no one would see anything, right?
But my underwear seems to be gone too. It’s not like her… It must have been difficult for her, who is so embarrassed, to undress me.
Hoo, anyway, I’ll get up and get some water.
However, as soon as I propped myself up, I felt something brush against me. It was very smooth.
It’s moving…
???!!!
Wait, someone is next to me?
I’m not sleeping alone?
What’s going on?
Lily wouldn’t sleep with me, would she? In my original world, maybe that was possible, but in this world, she’s not that kind of person at all!
A drunken impulse? Did drinking cause this? But I was the only one who drank too much. Why did this happen?
Did I force her? Am I the kind of person who does things like that when drunk?!
Could it be because I’ve been holding back for too long…
Ahhhh…
“Don’t panic, Juncheng.”
Eh?
This voice!
The owner of the voice, the person sleeping beside me, rolled over and sat on top of me, hugging me gently.
“Don’t think too much, it’s me… It’s me. So, it’s okay.”
“It’s okay”… Like a reassuring charm, it relaxed my tensed nerves.
“Wait a moment, okay? I’ll turn on the light.”
The soft body moved away, followed by a click. The room light came on, and my vision was restored.
What greeted my eyes was her beautiful body, and a changing title.
[Yandere Lover]
[Lan Hua]
[Spiritual Fanatical Possessiveness]
The title had changed, and a meaningless word had been added to her status.
But her name hadn’t changed.
“Long time no see, Juncheng. I missed you so much~”
Ah… it’s Lan.
It’s the Lan who knows me, and the Lan I know.
I’m defeated by you… To actually track me to this world, you’re amazing…
You’re definitely the world’s most terrifying stalker.
