Chapter 8: Truth Or Dare! A Nostalgic Memory!

I have ten in the chamber and eighty-one overall. More than enough!

"Student wife~ do you want me to wear the uniform for you to enjoy?"

Elena nodded happily as they entered the coffee shop, only to see it empty—however, Seth came there because the novel's protagonist brought his girlfriend here after the outbreak started, but stage two zombies bit her.

The whole situation was horrible and traumatic to read, but he remembered they gained a certain box...

"Where is it..." Seth muttered as he searched through the dark, eerie coffee shop while Elena followed him—she was still nervous and clutched her gun as Seth kicked over a chair to see under the table.

Crash!

"Found it..." Seth smiled as he reached down and picked up a small box labelled 'Parasol Corp.'

"Hey, Elena, what do you say we play a little game of truth or dare while looking for a nice coffee?"

She looked at him with a strange look and tilted her head.

It was a game they used to play as kids and young adults together, but it felt strange to her as her standard issue torch shone across the room while feeling unsettled—even the animals and birds outside were silent.

"Mmm..." Elena was focused on searching as Seth lifted the heavy box that sounded with a loud clang before he jumped to the right...

Bang!

"Elena, Truth or Dare?" Seth asked as the zombie fell to the ground, revealing a young employee lying dead—he guessed that the poor boy was bitten and hid in the storeroom before turning... however, Seth was glad that he checked.

Elena stared at the dead zombie momentarily, unsure what to say, but eventually replied, "Truth."

Seth thought quickly before asking as they sat at one of the tables, "Did you do anything to me in our summer villa while I was sleeping when we were fourteen?"

He flicked his head towards the exit as the pair began to leave the coffee shop while Elena froze for a moment as her cheeks reddened.

She didn't respond until the pair made their way towards the car—he would check underneath and around to ensure no zombies followed them, as the infection here was only just starting.

"Ah... well... I kissed you good night, but that is all—truth or dare, Seth?" She looked at him with a curious expression while opening the driver's seat door—however, Seth pulled her wrist and dragged her into the back seats, pushing her down onto the leather seats and mounting her hips with a smile.

"I choose Dare."

The next moment, his pocket vibrated as he received a text message and using this moment, Elena kicked him away, rolled into the driver seat with a bright red face, and drove them home.

A message sounded in Seth's mind as he was completely stunned.

⁜ Su Muyue Has separated from the original plotline!

****

⁜ Su Muyue POV

Su Muyue was sleeping on her leather sofa—she looked around in a feeling of confusion after being pushed down by that damn man Seth Darkwood in her dream... for some reason, she went with him to a strange place in the city... where the people were turned into flesh-eating monsters.

Ah... why does my heart still keep racing...

Inside her was a clash of varying emotions, the feeling when he stood behind her, whispered those sweet nothings and supported her against the monsters—never once did he leave her side...

Always keeping me safe...

But he also stroked her hips, hugged her and made her feel a strange attraction to him... Su Muyue shook her head as the television switched to a news program that was showing a shocking announcement.

—Shocking News!

Today, there were reports of gunshots in the northwest of our lovely Badger city! When the police went to investigate, it was found that a strange virus or illness had begun an outbreak, leading to a huge quarantine and a blockade posted on Bouldine Street and its surrounding roads.

Sources say that a small cafe was where the strange virus originated from... We have more from the scene with Tobi Delawi!

"Eh... that's.... the scene from my dream... those corpses and bodies..."

Everything was the same, and what confused Su Muyue was that the dream didn't fade like a normal dream. She could remember the scent of his body and his lips kissing her forehead...

Stupid... my heart is not racing, and I don't have feelings for that man... The feeling of him standing behind her... those words he whispered...

"I will always support you—if you fail, I will cover you, and if you fall, I will catch you."

It was soon time for the meal, but she knew he wasn't going to come... it no longer made her angry, but she felt strange since that dream and seeing another side to him, a calm, mature and reliable side that was nothing like the childish and pathetic image she always saw...

If he was like that from the start... I wouldn't have been so harsh all the time...

Su Muyue prepared, knowing he wouldn't come—she would face the anger and wrath of her parents and elders—however, it didn't matter as right now all she wanted to see more of that strange side of him...

Grabbing her phone, she began typing a message, closing the calling interface to send Seth a message. Instead of insisting he turn up, she left a message he might never have expected from the supposed iceberg CEO.

"Hmmm... student wife... does he like cosplay?"

A small smile showed on her face as she flung herself onto her huge bed with blue covers and rolled around holding an enormous teddy bear—it seemed quite old... this bear was the first gift that Seth Darkwood bought for her four years ago...

"Hmph! Why do you seem so cool and badass... yet never show me I don't want to see you kneel and beg me... just ask normally—don't send flowers all the time... a simple call or message is fine. I am not some princess that will send my knights to beat you... stupid bad guy."

Pomf!

Her fits punched the teddy, but when it flew off the bed, she quickly rushed to collect it and hugged it better as if nursing the man himself.

"If our elders didn't get involved... make everything feel like business and a deal... maybe we would have gone for a coffee there sometime?"

Su Muyue looked at the expensive dress picked out for her tonight as they seemed to want to use her to tempt and seduce Seth to get more deals... She suddenly felt dirty... and like it was her fault things became this way.

"I don't want them to look down on him... he is nothing like the others say. He was shy and lacked the confidence to take action."

"I'm not going either." She thought before turning off her phone and opening a zombie movie on Webflix and smiled... getting comfy in her bed. "Bad guy... I never expected you to be so buff..."

Her mind returned to the image when the dream started... and she opened the door to him completely naked... a pink haze on her cheeks as, for the first time, she had disobeyed her parent's orders.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Lord_Raven

Because Su Muyue left the plotline, his thoughts and feelings towards getting gifts and being treated so well by him were no longer warped into seeing him as an ATM or Simp but rather something that made her quite happy in the past.

Leaving the plotline for the Main heroines doesn't mean they will not trigger the plot, but rather they will face the plot with their minds and feelings rather than the author's forced actions and feelings to make the story flow smoother.

I wonder how she will react when learning her developing infatuation had been doing those things with another woman...
