Indulging in Carnal Desire

Chapter 188: [Big Shot’s Story 22] She didn’t care about dying



“Hey, Class 3, start preparing! Start preparing! It’s almost your turn to go on stage!”

Backstage, students from each class participating in the performance were busy making their final preparations, but Chu Jiao heard the host’s announcement.

“Got it!” Wang Minyu, the class committee member, responded in an instant and started counting the number of people.

“Eh? Where’s Classmate Fu Xiruo?” Wang Minyu looked around in slight panic but didn’t catch a glimpse of their second female lead.

“I don’t know…”

“She was just here…”

Chu Jiao overheard this and raised her head to get a glance at the backstage, which wasn’t very spacious. Indeed, she did not see Du Xiruo’s figure anywhere.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Not so far away, a dark door connected to the outside swung open, revealing a frantic Du Xiruo running out from there, “My stomach felt a little uncomfortable a while ago…”

“It’s okay as long as you’re here.” Wang Minyu didn’t put too much concern and glossed over it. Everyone started rubbing their hands in anticipation and waited for their turn to get on stage. Only Chu Jiao cast an inconspicuous glance at the dust that had clung onto the hem of Du Xiruo’s white skirt but she remained silent.

The curtains on stage were slowly pulled up, and everything was ready.

The alluring narration began.

“It was said that there was a small teahouse in the city of Taiyuan called Haojie Ju. The shopkeepers were a mother-daughter pair. The daughter’s countenance was akin to a flower, her appearance exuding grace…”

Chu Jiao appeared on stage in a simple skirt jacket.

Her hair was combed into a double-ringed bun, and her figure nimbly interweaved between the tables and chairs, elegantly pouring tea and serving dishes, appearing extremely efficient at her work. A little powder was applied on her palm-sized face. Her big eyes were dark and glossy, and her whole person was lovely and charming, inciting the customers to fight over each other when ordering food.

“Du Sang, do you know this little beauty?”

On the first row of the seats, Yoshida Hideaki’s eyes looked lustfully at the girl on stage, who was currently rebelling against the noble son that wanted to take liberties with her. He had felt a sudden itch in his heart.

‘The little girl lady looked really…kawaii(1).’

  1. Kawaii is Japanese for cute.

“Cough,” Du Shourong awkwardly glanced at the governor, who was just two seats away from them, and whispered into his companion’s ear, “She is Governor Yan’s fiancée.”

“Tsk,” Yoshida Hideaki smacked his lips in regret. “So, she’s the future Mrs. Yan. “

Du Shourong heaved a sigh of relief but still felt a little stuffy.

Although he also expected the Japanese to fight with the Peking government, seeing that Yoshida Hideaki did not dare provoke Yan Zhan even with his amazing courage, he couldn’t help but think…

This coward!

On stage, the plot was reaching its climax, and soon, they arrived at the scene of confrontation between Chen Yueying, who was played by Chu Jiao, and Xiang Cui’e, played by Du Xiruo.

“Impudent! Where did this lecher pop out from!”

Du Xiruo angrily yelled out, hurriedly drawing her sword and running forward.

Chu Jiao originally wanted to quickly dodge her advances, just like she did during rehearsal, but she didn’t expect Du Xiruo to carry her strikes out for real. Every move and swing she made brought about a strong wind that Chu Jiao could feel.

Chu Jiao dodged rapidly, raising the sword in her hand to ward off her powerful attacks.

Du Xiruo was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Chu Jiao to also know how to use a sword. The sword was drawn out beautifully, but unfortunately, it didn’t contain any inner strength. Du Xiruo heaved a breath of relief and continued to force the person to retreat to the center of the stage.

Chu Jiao was forced to retreat again and again and had soon reached the center of the stage, which meant that she was directly under the big bright stage light.

Then, in the next instant, a change unforeseen occurred.

The huge eight-petal lotus lighting unexpectedly began to shake. Then, it fell towards the two people who were in the middle of the stage fighting, catching everyone off-guard.

“Ahh——”

Seeing that the students on the stage were about to turn into a bloody mess on the spot, the audience in the hall started to scream in terror.

Yan Zhan, who had been watching the performance attentively, felt his heart clench tightly. He stood up abruptly and propped himself up using the edge of the stage, running towards the stage.

Get away! Jiaojiao, get away from there!

Chu Jiao understood Du Xiruo’s plan the moment the change had happened.

She took advantage of Du Xiruo’s attention on the falling lighting to quickly fling her sword away before grabbing her and dodging towards the side.

This female lead was simply out of her mind!

Just for a dragon seal, not only did she intend to take advantage of the situation to hurt her, but for the sake of proving her own innocence, she also didn’t care for her own life!
