Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Tianci's Confession
Just as Xiaoyun was about to finish editing the first part of the war plan, someone knocked on the door.
"Tianci, can you open the door?" Xiaoyun asked as he didn't want to draw his attention away.
"Okay."
As Tianci opened the door, Kate was standing right outside.
"Hey, Tianci... What's Xiaoyun doing?" Kate asked as she noticed Xiaoyun didn't even turn to look at her once.
"He's busy writing about his plan." Tianci quietly whispered.
As the room returned to silence, Kate carefully put the bag Leyan gave onto one of the tables.
"What's this?" Tianci curiously asked.
"It's his lunch that Leyan asked me to carry over... Speaking of lunch, Tianci, are you hungry?"
"Not really. I'm still full from the noodles." Tianci nervously replied.
Kate noticed Tianci's nervousness and decided to ask about it.
"Is there something wrong?" Kate quietly asked.
"No, I'm perfectly fine——"
As soon as Tianci spoke up, Kate immediately noticed the change in Tianci's eyes.
"Hey Xiaoyun! It's the other Tianci again." Kate warned.
"Come on, I was just about to finish it..."
Xiaoyun irately stood up and walked towards Tianci as her pupils had already turned entirely red.
"Hey, Kate. Long time no see... and Mr.Bloodbag." Tianci waved.
"Hello..." Kate awkwardly waved back as Xiaoyun moved Kate behind him.
"I thought I already fed you a few days ago." Xiaoyun looked highly annoyed as he began lowering his jacket.
"Yeah, but somebody kept moaning sound in the middle of the night... She's burning my energy when she's not resting at night." Tianci replied as she moved her head next to Xiaoyun's shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just get it done with already." Xiaoyun avoided the topic as
Tianci immediately bit down at the vein and began drinking the blood as if it were water.
"You know the other Tianci has a crush on you, right? Those noises had haunted her since she moved into your house." Tianci suddenly spoke up.
Xiaoyun knew what Tianci was talking about but remained silent as he didn't know how to respond.
"And having her hearing the person she loves having sex with someone else... What a cruel punishment... I hope you know that the longer you stall it, the more it will hurt," Tianci stopped again to speak up.
"If you don't like her, just say it now rather than make her endure this one-sided relationship. I'm quite frankly tired of seeing my other self getting abused this hard."
Tianci licked the last drops of blood out of the wound as it started healing.
"I..." Xiaoyun looked a little lost as he stood in silence.
"You already have six wives. Is it that hard for you to accept her? Come on, you're a man, right? Make up your mind already." Tianci separated as she argued back with an irritated voice.
As Xiaoyun chose to remain silent again, Tianci started to get more and more annoyed.
"You know what, why don't you just let me have sex with you right now? You and her wouldn't need to decide any further about it." Kate moved closer to Xiaoyun.
"No... you can't do that." Xiaoyun argued as he took a step back.
"Say's who? This is my body as well, you know. And don't worry, the other Tianci will feel what I'm feeling right now if that's what you are worried about."
As Xiaoyun kept moving back, his back eventually hit the wall.
"Come on. Am I not attractive enough, or what? I thought you were a sex addict who never refuses it." Tianci finally stopped right as their body was about to touch.
"It's just not right. I'm not going to do it." Xiaoyun finally looked back to Tianci with a determined face.
"Ugh, fine. It looks like the other Tianci will simply never get the person they love... How long will I suffer watching this stupid romance."
Tianci took a step back and suddenly turned towards Kate.
"And for Miss Kate... Please take good care of the other Tianci. If she dies, I die too..."
"Of course, I'll. She's my coworker." Kate replied.
"Thanks... Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Tianci told me she's not letting you get Xiaoyun before she does."
"W-What? I would never be with that disgusting polygamist womanizer. I'd rather be forever alone than be with him." Kate immediately argued back.
"That's good to hear... Well, I'm going to sleep again. See ya."
Tianci finally returned to normal as her red pupils and arrogant face returned to her usual pupils and timid face.
"Please don't take anything she says seriously. The other Tianci was just making things up." Tianci immediately spoke up to clarify the misunderstanding.
"Tianci... do you like me?" Xiaoyun asked directly despite Tianci already trying to avoid the conversation.
"I-I... don't know." Tianci avoided the eye contact as her body began to shake a little.
As Xiaoyun watches Tianci starting to have a nervous breakdown, Xiaoyun finally decides to make up his mind.
"Tianci... I'll give you a proper response when this is over... I promise."
Xiaoyun lifted Tianci's hand into the air as Tianci started to calm down again.
"Thank you..." Tianci moved out of Xiaoyun's hand and returned to Kate.
"Wow, what a shocker that men never stop when given the opportunity to get another." Kate clapped sarcastically as Xiaoyun's face started blushing.
"Kate, stop it." Tianci gently pushed Kate's arm.
"You already defending your husband? Okay, Mrs.Tianci. I apologize for insulting your husband." Kate joked.
Seeing Tianci's face as if it was about to tear up, Kate apologized.
"Okay, okay, I'm just joking. Come on, don't be serious." Kate held Tianci's arms as if they were suddenly best friends.
"Ahem, I'm going back to work now. Don't bother me again."
Xiaoyun turned around and returned to his table to start writing again.
They got a little bored as the two stood in the doorway in the empty room beside the three of them.
"Hey, Tianci, do you want to eat lunch together? Or are you full already from the other Tianci drinking blood?" Kate asked.
"I'm actually a little hungry... The blood doesn't make me full. It just gives me energy." Tianci clarified.
"Then let's see what Leyan prepared for Xiaoyun."
As Kate excitedly opened the bag, Tianci felt a little guilty doing it behind Xiaoyun.
"Isn't this for Xiaoyun?" Tianci softly asked.
Kate stopped and looked back to Tianci as she thought of an excuse on the spot.
"Yeah, but the food will have gotten cold by the time he finishes work. So we are actually doing him a favor by not letting it go to waste."
"How about we just ask first?"
"Go for it."
"Um, Xiaoyun, Kate brought Leyan's lunch here. Do you want to eat it?" Kate asked out loud.
"You guys can eat it. I'm just going to eat dinner later."
Seeing Xiaoyun's response, Kate smiled back at Tianci.
"I told you. Now let's eat it together."
Kate opened the bag again, and inside it was some sort of desert wrapped in clear plastic and a pink water bottle.
"I wonder what it tastes like."
Kate took up the soft and squishy powdery shape dough and ate the whole thing at once.
As she bit down, she could taste the sesame inside.
"Hm! It's so good!" Kate exclaimed as she took another piece and ate it down.
"Is it that good?"
Tianci took a piece and took a bit of it.
"This is so good!" Tianci looked in shock at how good the desert was as she grabbed another piece when she hadn't even finished the first one.
After the two finished the whole thing in less than five minutes, their month was beginning to feel extremely dry from the powdery texture. So Kate grabbed the pink water bottle and drank almost half of the bottle.
"My turn." Tianci grabbed the bottle from Kate as her voice became increasingly muffled from the dryness.
"Why does this milk taste so sweet?" Kate wondered.
Tianci put the empty bottle back down as she had finished the rest.
"Why did Leyan put milk in a water bottle?" Tianci mumbled.
"I don't know, to be honest... But it sure tasted a little sweet... I kind of want more of it." Kate replied as she licked all the remaining milk on her lips.
"Yeah, it tasted much sweeter than milk... Wait, there is no milk in the fridge." Tianci suddenly remembered.
"What do you mean? Then where else did she get it from?" Kate looked confused towards Tianci.
Suddenly, the realization hit both of them at the same time.
"Wait. Did we just..." Kate looked dead into Tianci's eyes.
Tianci nodded as it was the only possibility she could have gotten the milk from.
"I think we just drank her...milk."
"But why would she put it in Xiaoyun's lunch? No, that just can't be..."
Kate facepalmed herself right in front of Tianci as she sat in the chair in defeat.
"I refuse to believe I drank someone's breastmilk when I was already an adult. There is just no way."
Kate got so upset she spoke in a mix of English and Chinese at the same time.
"Too late now... It's not that bad. At least we know it was from Leyan, not just some stranger." Tianci reacted much calmer than Kate.
"That just makes it more awkward when we see each other everyday... We just have to stay silent and act as if nothing happened."
Tianci nodded in agreement as she didn't want to say it to Leyan either.
