Murder the Dream Guy

“…”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze was hot like fire.

Xiang Wan paused for a while then scrunched up her nose.

“Besides, you haven’t even bathed. You just came out from the kitchen, there’s the smell of cooking oil on you…”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze dimmed slightly. “You’re bothered by the smell?”

He used more strength and squeezed her tiny waist, as though he could break her in half anytime.

“You… you’re an annoying little thing. I wished I could strangle you to death.”

He was all ready but she refused to let him.

Not only that, she even said that he had not taken a bath.

Yet ironically, this woman was the one who kept setting him on fire, and when he was raging in flames, she splashed a ladle of cold water on him.

If he had not known that she had drank a little too much, Bai Muchuan would surely suspect that she wanted to prank him…

“Fine. We shall take a bath.”

Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh and carried her, striding towards the bathroom.

Filling the bathtub, getting undressed and cupping her face in his hands…

“Mm!” Xiang Wan frowned. “Bai Muchuan.”

“Don’t move!”

“Don’t be like this…” Her hands were moving about.

Bai Muchuan caught her hands. “You asked for it.”

“… Bai Muchuan.” Xiang Wan moved a little. Under the influence of alcohol, her eyes were twinkling as she stared at his eyes that seemed deeper due to his ‘thirst’. “I’m saying…” She giggled. “Don’t be a slowpoke, hurry up…”

“…”

The man didn’t respond for a moment while Xiang Wan was still looking at him with her eyes half-opened.

“You, are dead meat!”

…

There were sounds of the running water.

Intermittently, it was mixed with Xiang Wan’s moans.

“Bai Muchuan…”

“Mm?” He was panting slightly.

“Don’t be like this…”

“What do you mean?”

“Tsk…” Xiang Wan licked her gums then bit gently at a corner of his lips. “Don’t tease me like this…” Her voice was so mellow like water.

“You’re really…” Bai Muchuan gritted his teeth and kept her firmly in control before kissing her to stop her from blabbering…

Gradually,

The mind drifted away again.

“Xiang Wan.”

“Mm? … Mm.”

“Do you still dare to do this again?”

“Mm?” She felt a giddy feeling.

“Do you still dare to provoke me again…”

“Of course…. Ah!” she gasped. “Not.”

It was morning.

The sky was misty as usual, but one could see some of the warm winter sun.

Xiang Wan opened her eyes, awake from her drunken state and let out a yawn. She turned and saw the man sleeping beside her. She started to recall what happened last night but unexpectedly, she could hardly remember much.

What happened?

Her memory of last night were in bits and pieces and she found it difficult to piece them together.

Nevertheless, Bai Muchuan was sleeping beside her.

It was the first day of Lunar New Year.

When she woke up, she noticed that her beloved man was sleeping beside her.

It felt wonderful.

The recent cases had really left both Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan physically and mentally exhausted.

In a day where they could go to bed and wake up together, it was really rare.

Xiang Wan changed into another position and slept for a little while more. After that, she looked at the time and decided to get out of bed carefully.

Wash up, prepare breakfast and do some cleaning up…

When she got all of these done, Bai Muchuan was still sleeping soundly.

Just how exhausted was he?

He must have been really worn out.

Xiang Wan left the bedroom gingerly, bringing her laptop with her. Then she laid on the sofa and interacted with her readers.

She had been too caught up recently and hadn’t appeared in her reader group chat for a while.

The first thing she did when she entered the group chat was to send a red packet.

“Happy Lunar New Year!”

Soon enough, all her readers were as if the little gold fishes in the pond, swaying their beautiful body and tail as they showed up in the group chat.

“Happy Lunar New Year!”

“Xiang Gongzi, Happy Lunar New Year!”

Greetings popped up one after another, Xiang Wan was very happy to see all these messages.

The Lunar New Year this year, the last year and the year before last year…

Come to think of it, some of the readers had been following her novels for three years.

As Xiang Wan looked at the familiar avatars in the group chat, she felt grateful inside.

“At this moment, I feel like I want to give all my love to the world.” She joked with them.

“We want to give all our love to you,” responded a female reader.

“Can I sleep with you?” Another female reader bantered. “If I can sleep with you, it’s equivalent to sleep with the whole world…”

“Hahaha!”

The group of women were chatting happily with her.

Xiang Wan could type faster using the keyboard of her laptop.

On and off, she would also check out her reviews and comments page.

All the messages were Lunar New Year greetings.

The happy atmosphere of the Lunar New Year filled her reviews and comments page. It made that day seem especially different.

Xiang Wan looked out for that ID again.

There was nothing.

She also checked for the history of that reader’s comments.

There was nothing as well.

That was the first comment.

And the only one as well.

Maybe Bai Muchuan was right, that she took it to heart when others simply made a comment.

It was not a good thing to be too sensitive.

Xiang Wan laughed at herself and felt relaxed.

After chatting with her readers for about 10 minutes, Xiang Wan looked at the time but Bai Muchuan still didn’t get out of bed. She decided to start a document and start writing her story.

The daily life of a web novelist was like this.

One got to grab every moment that one could write their story.

Tic, tac, tic, tac.

The sounds of typing on the keyboard were pleasant to hear.

When Xiang Wan had her writer’s block, she would get really frustrated.

But most of the time, she still felt that she was someone who really loved to write.

Even though she was Zhan Se’s part-time personal assistant helping Serious Crime Division One to do profiling work, she had never forgotten that she was an author and that writing her novel was her main job. It was a life project that she was willing to work hard for.

…

The good mood from last night was carried over to the morning.

Her story plot that day was especially relaxing.

To the extent that she arranged for a romantic plot between both of her leading characters Fang Yelan and Rong Xiaonuan…

Now that she was experienced in all these, she was able to write such plots quickly.

Xiang Wan was engrossed in her writing; her head contained a lot of scenes that required parental guidance…

Suddenly, everything went dark.

A pair of hands had covered her eyes.

“What are you writing? Let me see.”

Bai Muchuan’s low-pitched voice carried the characteristic pitch when one just woke up in the morning.

His voice was sexy, alluring with a teasing tone that came from above her head. His voice sounded as though the cello was playing.

“As he drew closer to kiss her, shadows were formed under his eyelashes by the lights that seemed to project straight through her heart, which broke the peacefulness…”

What! He was actually reading what she had written out loud.

No!

Xiang Wan struggled.

“Bai Muchuan—”

He held her tightly so she couldn’t struggle and he could continue to read out loud.

“His body quivered uncontrollably; his mind was disturbed by something that he was unable to think… He was a healthy man after all, how would he be able to withstand such provocation?”

“Bai Muchuan!” Xiang Wan pinched his arm. She felt her ears had become scorchingly hot.

There was now a smiling tone in his voice. “… Flames of passion were raging in their eyes as their gazes made contact with each other. They were locked in an embrace like two beasts that had been set free…”

“Bai Muchuan!” Xiang Wan now felt her face burning. As he had chosen to ignore her cries, she directly bit him on the arm. “You’re annoying!”

“So you actually like this, Little Xiang Wan…” He chuckled and raised her chin. “Beast! Mm, the usage of this word ‘beast’ is very nice. It’s wild, intense and passionate like fire…”

“You…” Xiang Wan was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would swallow her up.

She pulled his hand away and yelled. “You’re not allowed to read my novel in future!”
