After Transmigrating into a Sadistic Novel, the Socially Anxious Sickly Beauty Just Wants to Sleep - Chapter 10

Because the main top had inexplicably decided not to divorce again, Jian An Mian returned to Yan Zhi Mo’s villa.

Yan Zhi Mo was usually busy with work. He worked nine to five, routinely worked overtime at night, and went on business trips on weekends. As for Jian An Mian, he slept from morning until night, then from night until morning again. If one added up all the time he spent with his eyes open in a day, no one knew if it even reached two hours.

The two of them basically never even saw each other. Jian An Mian was perfectly happy to enjoy the peace and freedom.

Who knew if the main top would one day suddenly have his beastly instincts flare up and want to do that with him?

These days, male leads were so competitive. Seven times a night was only the starting point, and each round lasted at least two hours.

When that time came, not only would his sleeping time be drastically shortened, this crappy little body would not be able to handle it either. For all he knew, one of those times, he might hyperventilate on the bed and suddenly die.

While the main top still did not have that idea, every day he could sleep counted as one more day earned.

They continued peacefully like this for some time. Then one day, Auntie Wang suddenly came upstairs to wake Jian An Mian and told him his mother had come to visit him.

The first moment Jian An Mian heard it, he did not even react. The main top’s house was too comfortable to live in. He had almost forgotten he still had a mother.

“All right. Thank you, Auntie Wang. I’ll come down now. Please help me receive her first.”

Jian An Mian actually did not want to see her at all. But since she had already come to the door, it would be impolite not to go down.

He put on his jacket, pulled the zipper all the way up to the tip of his chin, then put on his mask, fully arming himself. From head to toe, only two pale green onion-like fingertips and his smooth, fair forehead were exposed. Only then did he take a deep breath and go downstairs to see the original owner’s mother.

The moment Xu Pei Ying saw Jian An Mian, tears immediately filled her eyes. She stood up and opened her arms as if wanting to hug him. Her affected tone gave him goosebumps all over. “I finally get to see you, Mian Mian. Mommy missed you so much. Come here and let Mommy take a good look at you! Are you living well here? Did you miss Mommy?”

Jian An Mian sucked in a breath and retreated in utter terror, narrowly avoiding Xu Pei Ying’s touch.

This mother… was she all right? The first time they met, she had clearly scolded him for being thoughtless!

Xu Pei Ying awkwardly withdrew her hand. After sitting down, she patted the seat beside her and smiled with a loving expression. “Look at me, I forgot Mian Mian doesn’t like being touched by others. Mian Mian, come sit here and talk properly with Mommy. Mommy won’t touch you anymore, all right?”

Jian An Mian looked rather uncomfortably at the seat beside Xu Pei Ying, then silently sat down on the sofa farthest away from her.

This distance was finally much more comfortable.

Xu Pei Ying’s expression nearly cracked. In her heart, she cursed Jian An Mian from an ungrateful wolf to an unfilial son, but on her face, she still wore a fake smile. “Mian Mian, your acceptance letter arrived. The address you filled in before was the home address, so the courier delivered it straight to the house. This time, I specially brought it over for you, and also came to see you while I was at it.”

Smiling, Xu Pei Ying took a delivery package out of a document bag and placed it on the coffee table between them. “This is your acceptance letter from Jing University. I haven’t opened the package yet. I was waiting for you to open it with your own hands. Congratulations on getting into your first-choice school.”

Jian An Mian froze. In the next second, his mentality collapsed.

What had he just heard?

His acceptance letter had arrived?

He had to… go to school?

Xu Pei Ying paused, then said in a gentle tone, “Mian Mian, actually, Mommy came here this time because there’s another very important matter I’d like your help with. I heard that the Yan family has been looking for partners recently. Since you’ve married into the Yan family, we’re all one family now. Do you think you could talk to President Yan and have this opportunity given to us? It’s always more reassuring for family to do things for family, isn’t it? As the saying goes, rich water should not flow into outsiders’ fields. We can benefit each other. This is a win-win opportunity. I know Mian Mian is the most sensible. You’ll definitely be able to complete the task Mommy gives you properly, won’t you?”

Jian An Mian was immersed in the terrible news that he actually had to go to school. Only after a long while did he come back to himself. When he turned his head, he saw the urgent, coercive expression hidden in Xu Pei Ying’s face and finally understood.

No wonder his bargain-bin mother’s attitude had suddenly become so good. It turned out she needed something from him.

“Okay.” Jian An Mian nodded without hesitation.

Xu Pei Ying froze for several seconds before realizing that Jian An Mian had agreed. Immediately, she revealed an overjoyed smile.

She had never expected Jian An Mian to agree so quickly. She had originally prepared a bellyful of arguments, but now there was no need to use any of them.

It was best if Jian An Mian was obedient. At least she had not raised him for nothing.

Xu Pei Ying stood up with a beaming smile and still wanted to touch Jian An Mian’s head. Naturally, he dodged her. She did not mind either, the tenderness in her eyes so fake it was exaggerated. “Thank you, Mian Mian. I just knew that in your heart, you still care about our family. We will always be your closest family. Then Mommy will head back first. I’ll come see you again after some time.”

However, the moment Xu Pei Ying left, Jian An Mian immediately sent Yan Zhi Mo a message telling him what had just happened.

All these messy matters could be handed over to the main top to handle. He was only a salted fish. He was far too lazy to deal with them himself.

As for what he had promised his mother just now, that had only been to send her away as quickly as possible. He simply had not wanted to keep talking to her.

The next second, Yan Zhi Mo’s call came in.

Jian An Mian almost reflexively wanted to hang up again. Fortunately, his reverence for the man stopped him in time. He secretly cheered himself on, then answered the call.

Yan Zhi Mo’s low voice, carrying a smile, slowly came through the phone. It had a unique metallic quality and sounded very pleasant.

“Not bad. This time, you finally didn’t hang up on me.”

“Mr. Yan…!”

And he still said he was not such a narrow-minded person. He had remembered it until now!

Yan Zhi Mo once again used the kind of tone a superior would use when questioning a subordinate. “What do you think about what your mother said?”

“Mr. Yan can decide.”

It would be best if he could simply ignore them, Jian An Mian thought maliciously. Who told them to treat the original owner so badly?

Yan Zhi Mo seemed to have mind-reading powers and immediately asked in return, “Is that what you truly think?”

“…”

Yan Zhi Mo’s voice suddenly lowered. He enunciated clearly as he called his name. “Jian An Mian, what did I say last time?”

Jian An Mian wiped the sweat from his palm. “In the future… I’m not allowed to lie again.”

The sound of fingertips tapping against a desk came from the other end. Yan Zhi Mo’s voice was steady, magnetic, and slow. Accompanied by the rhythmic tapping, he guided Jian An Mian word by word. “So, what do you think? Jian An Mian, tell me.”

Jian An Mian’s heartbeat suddenly sped up. His fingers clenched and loosened. Nervously, he licked his lips and said softly, “Actually… it’s fine if you don’t bother with them.”

Yan Zhi Mo’s deep laugh came through, instantly making Jian An Mian’s ears flush red. “All right, I understand. As a reward for being a good child, I’ll grant your wish.”

After hanging up, Yan Zhi Mo thought back to the call just now, the remnants of a smile still hanging at the corners of his mouth.

He had originally thought Jian An Mian was a little baby who knew nothing of worldly affairs. Unexpectedly, when bitten open, he had a black sesame filling.

When they had signed the marriage agreement, he had already given the Qin family quite a few benefits. He had not expected the Qin family to be so greedy that they would even set their sights on the little friend.

He had not planned to agree in the first place. Now that the little friend also stood on the same side as him, he would be even less polite. In any case, the Qin family had never treated Jian An Mian as their own child.

When he thought of the novel setting, where it was because Xu Pei Ying had failed to take proper care of the child that Jian An Mian ended up with a body full of illnesses, Yan Zhi Mo felt uncontrollable anger.

He suddenly regretted it so much. Why had he promised the Qin family so many benefits back then? The one marrying him was clearly Jian An Mian. What did that have to do with the Qin family? If he had known, he would not have given them a single cent.

Unfortunately, the contracts had already been signed, and he could not breach them now. At the time, he had not yet awakened. How could he have predicted the future? Once the time limits on these partnerships passed, he would definitely terminate them immediately. He would not let the Qin family take even the slightest benefit from the Yan family again.

Yan Zhi Mo secretly planned this, then looked down at the stiff and proper words “Jian An Mian” on the call screen. Dissatisfied, he frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he changed Jian An Mian’s contact name to “Good Child.” He stared at it for several seconds before finally smiling in satisfaction.

…

Elsewhere.

Jian An Mian had opened the package. At this moment, in front of him lay a gorgeous, exquisite acceptance letter from Jing University.

For other people, this might be the dream school they had fought for eighteen years but still could not obtain.

As for Jian An Mian… right now, he only wanted to cry.

In his previous life, because his health had been poor, he had lived in the hospital from birth. For classes, he hired private tutors. He had never gone to school in his entire life, and he was not the slightest bit envious of those children who could go to school.

Since childhood, he had been a socially anxious person who did not like talking to people. His family had once thought he had autism, but later, it was proven that this was simply his personality.

Locking him at home and not letting him go outside actually made him happier.

After transmigrating into this book, he had originally thought he could spend his whole life staying inside the main top’s house without going out, being a salted fish who lay flat and gave up.

But now, he was suddenly being told that he, who had never attended school before, actually had to start going to school!

Going to school meant seeing lots and lots of people, talking to lots and lots of people, and even living on campus. He would have to spend long periods of time in the same room as lots and lots of unfamiliar strangers and be forced by lots and lots of people he did not know to make friends…

How could something as terrifying as school exist in this world?!

Whoever wanted to go to this school could go! In any case, he did not want to!

Loud crying!
