After Marrying the Cold and Elegant Beauty, I Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 9
Shen Yuru wore a chiffon blouse on top, paired with a pair of light-colored straight-leg jeans. When she was not looking at people with those icy phoenix eyes of hers, expressionless and without emotion, Shen Yuru had a gentle, intellectual air about her.
Han Shuangshuang felt like she was holding a hot potato in her arms.
“Sister Shen, Sister Shen, wake up quickly. You can’t faint here!” If Shen Yuru woke up and found the two of them hugging, what if she thought Han Shuangshuang was taking advantage of her?
Although Han Shuangshuang had long understood her own orientation and knew she liked beautiful women, that did not mean she liked taking advantage of someone while they were vulnerable.
Most importantly, the malicious female supporting character’s reputation was truly far too terrible.
She played around too wildly and too openly. Her girlfriends practically changed every few weeks.
Han Shuangshuang had just taken a look. Fortunately, this aspect had only been brushed over briefly in the book. If she wanted to clean up her image, she only needed to put in some effort.
Shen Yuru felt so cold, so cold, as though she were lying on snowy ground. Her entire body was stiff, and she could not move. Her chest ached faintly, wave after wave.
It was like countless needles were stabbing into her heart. She wanted to pull them out, yet there was nothing she could do.
A buzzing sound echoed by her ears, filled with the overlapping chatter of all those relatives scheming against her.
She curled up in a corner. The room had no lights on. She could not see any brightness at all. She could only vaguely see the relatives in the living room fighting and arguing. She tried to cover her ears, only to find that those voices instead poured into them even more clearly. She wanted to cover her eyes, only to find that those images appeared even more starkly before her.
She was cold. Truly so cold. Her entire body was frighteningly icy.
[System: Please take action as soon as possible, Host. Shen Yuru’s current condition is extremely terrible.]
Since even the system said so, Han Shuangshuang had no other choice. She could only first place Shen Yuru at the very back of the classroom, using the desks to block Shen Yuru’s figure and letting Shen Yuru sit curled up on a chair.
She got up and drew all the classroom curtains shut, then covered the surveillance camera.
Her stomach was so hungry.
Han Shuangshuang could only rely on the dim light to make out Shen Yuru’s face. She discovered that Shen Yuru’s complexion at this moment was frighteningly pale, and her lips had no trace of color at all.
Han Shuangshuang felt that neither of them was dressed thickly at all. She was even wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.
The system was simply spouting nonsense.
Han Shuangshuang tentatively held Shen Yuru’s fingers. They were so cold that she almost shivered instinctively.
As expected of a book world. The things that happened often defied common sense, yet somehow still followed their own logic.
[System: Host, you’ve already transmigrated into a book, so don’t be so serious about details. Saving her is the most important thing.]
Hearing the system say that, Han Shuangshuang stopped thinking about anything else. She reached out and wrapped Shen Yuru’s entire hand in her palm. Shen Yuru’s fingers were long and slender, but her palm was very small. Those fingers, as pale and delicate as green onion stalks, curled into a fist and could actually be covered easily by Han Shuangshuang’s hand.
Han Shuangshuang held Shen Yuru by the shoulders, pulled the cushion off the chair, and placed it on the floor. She let Shen Yuru sit in front of her, then gathered Shen Yuru into her arms, using her own chest to transfer warmth to her.
She pressed her chin against the crook of Shen Yuru’s neck.
The pitch-black classroom had not a single trace of light. Even the moonlight outside, which wanted to sneak in, was blocked by the heavy curtains. The teaching building was far from the dormitory building, and once classes ended, it became incomparably quiet. There were not even the footsteps of students nearby. The entire classroom was so silent that Han Shuangshuang could only hear her own breathing and Shen Yuru’s rising and falling one after another.
“No… no…”
Han Shuangshuang seemed to hear Shen Yuru’s weak, powerless voice, carrying a trace of resistance and refusal.
Han Shuangshuang silently swallowed. She was a little nervous, and her heartbeat kept speeding up. Originally, she had been rather upright. Everything she was doing was for the sake of changing her cannon-fodder ending and healing the female villain.
But what was with Shen Yuru’s faint, barely audible murmurs?
In her original world, Han Shuangshuang had been a complete single-since-birth person, carefree and careless. She had never been this close to anyone before, let alone done something as intimate as hugging someone.
She had done a great deal of mental preparation for herself before she managed to ignore these strange feelings. Yet unexpectedly, one uncomfortable murmur from Shen Yuru shattered the psychological defenses she had painstakingly built all at once.
Han Shuangshuang’s face grew redder and redder, and her body grew hotter and hotter.
“Sister Shen, don’t misunderstand. I’m only doing this to keep Sister Shen warm. The door is locked right now, and Sister Shen fainted. I could only choose this worst possible method.”
Han Shuangshuang also explained in a very quiet voice beside Shen Yuru’s ear.
The warm breath she exhaled brushed against Shen Yuru’s ear.
Shen Yuru felt her neck itch slightly. Somewhat uncomfortable, she twisted a little.
Han Shuangshuang was startled, because she had nearly kissed the corner of Shen Yuru’s lips.
“Why are you so disobedient? You’re already like this, yet you’re still moving around. Who exactly is taking advantage of whom?”
Han Shuangshuang pouted and muttered with a flushed face.
This stupid dog system kept making her do such embarrassing things. Who could stand it?
[System: Host, don’t let your thoughts go crooked. As long as Host’s heart is open and upright, the villain won’t misunderstand.]
Shen Yuru felt her consciousness gradually returning. The noisy sounds around her ears gradually grew softer. Everything before her was also blurry, as though she were in darkness, but from a distant point, light appeared. It carried comfortable warmth that continuously flowed toward her.
Her tense body slowly began to relax. Her taut nerves suddenly softened.
For a person who had not experienced warmth in too long, even a tiny light like a match flame was enough to make them feel filled with warmth.
Shen Yuru weakly opened her eyes and found that everything was still pitch-black. However, faced with this darkness now, her heart unexpectedly did not feel afraid or repulsed. Her back was warm, and waves of warmth entered her body from behind.
“Han Shuangshuang?”
That cool voice sounded, and Han Shuangshuang was so startled that her whole body jolted. Even her chin trembled.
“Sister Shen, you’re awake. I can explain. Things aren’t what you’re seeing. Although you can’t see anything right now, you still have to listen to my explanation.”
Because Han Shuangshuang spoke in a rush, even more warm breath brushed out.
Shen Yuru felt her ear itch terribly, but unexpectedly, it was comfortable.
Her neck and back felt as though a fluffy doggo was pressed against them.
“Mm.”
Shen Yuru closed those phoenix eyes of hers somewhat tiredly.
She was very exhausted right now and did not have the energy to think about the reason Han Shuangshuang was doing these things.
This warmth was too precious, so precious that she even wanted to sink into it just like this.
Seeing that Shen Yuru only responded softly before falling silent again, her breathing gradually steadying, Han Shuangshuang immediately let out a breath of relief.
It seemed she had fallen asleep. Hopefully, tomorrow morning, she would not dig up old accounts.
Han Shuangshuang’s arms and legs had long gone numb, but there was nothing she could do. The moment she thought of her cannon-fodder ending, suffering a little now did not seem like much.
If she found out who had locked the door from the outside, she definitely would not spare that dog thing.
Unexpectedly, as she kept thinking, she actually fell asleep too.
Fortunately, the next day was Saturday.
No one came to the classroom. Because Han Shuangshuang had pulled all the curtains shut so tightly, very little sunlight seeped in from outside. The classroom was still dim and gray.
Han Shuangshuang was sleeping very soundly.
Shen Yuru slowly opened those phoenix eyes. She was confused for only an instant before immediately and warily observing the surroundings.
Then she felt that her arm was being pressed down by someone. There was also a furry head pressing against her shoulder, and from time to time, warm breath brushed against her neck.
Shen Yuru felt that her neck was unbearably stiff, as though she had slept in a terrible position.
She turned her head with some difficulty and saw Han Shuangshuang sleeping extremely soundly against her shoulder, hugging one of her arms.
Just as Shen Yuru wanted to pull her arm out, Han Shuangshuang, still asleep, frowned. As though someone was trying to steal her big chicken drumstick, she immediately hugged it tightly.
“So hungry, so hungry… Big chicken drumstick, don’t run.”
After murmuring twice, Han Shuangshuang even smacked her lips.
Shen Yuru felt that ever since she met Han Shuangshuang, things always slipped out of her control.
Why had she suddenly fallen ill last night? It had been a very long time since she had suffered such severe symptoms.
Could it have been Han Shuangshuang’s doing?
Shen Yuru’s phoenix eyes were devoid of any emotion as she examined Han Shuangshuang.
What she feared most was the cold. She had not expected that by morning, she would have recovered to normal. Had Han Shuangshuang really held her for the entire night?
The two buttons on the front of her blouse had disappeared without a trace. Shen Yuru’s expression changed slightly.
Yet in the next moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from her neck.
Han Shuangshuang was actually gnawing at her neck with her little canine teeth.
Shen Yuru felt her temples begin to throb. She seemed both speechless and angry.
Her usually cool voice carried a trace of gritted teeth. “Han Shuangshuang!”
Han Shuangshuang felt as though she had bitten into a frozen-solid chicken neck in her dream. The cold made her shiver all over. With a start, she immediately woke up.
Han Shuangshuang opened those puppy eyes in confusion and looked at Shen Yuru blankly.
Even though Shen Yuru’s expression did not change much right now, and even though the corner of her mouth was still slightly raised, and even though no particular emotion could be seen in her eyes, Han Shuangshuang, who had been good at reading expressions since childhood, could clearly sense that Shen Yuru was a little angry. If she did not soothe her immediately, her ending might be very miserable.
“Sister Shen, you’re awake. Listen to my explanation.”
Shen Yuru supported herself on the desk and stood up. She wanted to button the two buttons on the front of her blouse, only to discover that her buttons had already vanished.
Han Shuangshuang’s legs had gone numb. She staggered as she stood up and found that her right hand was clenched into a fist. When she opened her palm, she discovered that Shen Yuru’s two blouse buttons were actually in her hand.
This misunderstanding had become huge.
Shen Yuru’s kind gaze immediately landed on her.
Han Shuangshuang instantly felt her scalp go numb.
“Thank you for taking care of me last night, Student Han, but there was no need to undress me.”
Although Shen Yuru’s tone was flat, Han Shuangshuang could hear the sarcasm in it.
“I didn’t have those kinds of thoughts. Sister Shen fainted, so I was just worried.”
Shen Yuru gave a cold snort. Unconsciously, she touched the teeth marks by her neck. When she thought of the romantic affairs surrounding Han Shuangshuang that had spread around campus, an inexplicable displeasure arose in her.
“If Student Han is harboring those kinds of intentions, then there is no need for you to come looking for me anymore. There are plenty of beauties who want to move closer to Younger Sister Han.”

Shen Yuru: Is it something only I have, or something left over after others played with it?
Han Shuangshuang: Doggo is innocent. (I`)
