Su Mu was completely unable to connect with her own body.
After all, this was Tang Nai’s dream world, and the latter could leave however she wanted.
But while it was easy for Su Mu to enter, getting out was proving difficult.
Su Mu felt helpless.
She wanted to return to reality as quickly as possible to stop the silver-haired girl from carrying out her shady plans, but right now she was completely trapped by overlapping fish tanks.
“Wait, how did she get out?”
“Damn it, I was just saying that off the top of my head… You actually went and did it… Ugh…”
Su Mu covered her mouth, her pretty face flushing red.
She didn’t dare recall the sound that had involuntarily escaped her lips just moments ago.
Although she couldn’t sense exactly what was happening on the other side of her body, she had suddenly received that electric jolt of stimulation coursing through her entire being.
With no idea what Tang Nai was actually doing, and surrounded by dizzying repeating scenery, Su Mu felt both anxious and embarrassed.
She could only try to walk out following the same feeling she had when she came in.
She gripped the Momentary tightly in her hand.
Even in this situation, Su Mu refused to let go of it.
Since she couldn’t stop what was already happening, at the very least she didn’t want to come away empty-handed.
‘That damn Tang Nai, you jerk!’
She ran forward for a while, but the scene before her eyes remained unchanged.
Su Mu felt like Sisyphus pushing a boulder uphill—her efforts were completely in vain.
Well, not entirely in vain.
Look, her body was already starting to burn up.
Moisture gathered in Su Mu’s azure almond-shaped eyes.
She could feel an undeniable restlessness stirring inside her.
As soon as she returned to reality, all those pent-up sensations would explode in an instant, making her cry out in surprise.
She vaguely remembered this kind of situation had a name…
Ugh, no time to worry about that now.
She had to get out quickly.
Tang Nai never lied.
If she said she would do something, she would definitely do it.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
If she didn’t hurry out, she had no idea what would happen!
She realized she seemed to have returned to the very starting point—the spot where Tang Nai had entrusted the Momentary to her.
Su Mu stomped her foot in frustration and was about to keep moving when she looked up again, only to be surrounded once more by the familiar scenery.
Su Mu collapsed in despair, clutching her head.
Actually, it wasn’t just her head that felt heavy—there were also those two mochi-like mounds.
But that wasn’t really a problem, since someone was probably already supporting them for her.
Less than half a second later, Su Mu looked at the sand-colored little fish in her hand and immediately understood.
‘This thing sent me back to the starting point?’
Su Mu tilted her head toward the sky, gazing in the direction of Tang Nai, whose whereabouts were unknown, and couldn’t help but want to shout.
‘Was this part of your plan too?!’
At the same time, Tang Nai, who had already woken up and was resting her head on Su Mu’s shoulder, was lazily eating grapes.
And they were the grapes that Su Mu had washed.
The situation seemed better than Su Mu had imagined, because Su Ya had timely joined the fray.
But the bad news was that Su Mu was sleeping deeply and couldn’t stop this expired loli from saying anything outrageous.
Su Ya hesitated before speaking, but as soon as she lifted her gaze, her azure pupils reflected the silver-haired girl’s intimate posture, practically pressed against Su Mu.
“Um, Miss Landlord, Little Mu, she really…”
Tang Nai smiled triumphantly.
While chewing on the sweet Sunshine Rose grapes, she rubbed her face even closer against the soft spot near Su Mu’s heart.
“Yes, Ms. Su Ya. Your daughter and I are currently in a rather ambiguous stage.”
“Ambiguous?” Su Ya’s voice trembled as countless possibilities flashed through her mind.
‘This landlord lady clearly looked like a successful person—possibly even the young female president of a listed company. A woman like her would surely have no shortage of young, beautiful girls around her, so using the term “ambiguous” made perfect sense.’
“That’s right. After a long period of entanglement with Little Su Mu…”
Su Ya had completely lost her ability to judge the situation.
Although she managed to keep her facial expression unchanged, terrible words kept popping up in her mind.
“Star-crossed… lovers?”
No, she really couldn’t help but want to intervene.
Even though she wasn’t a traditional person, Little Mu was clearly still a high school student.
Puppy love was one thing, but this was obviously compensated dating.
It might even involve extramarital affairs or cheating…
Had her own negligence turned Little Mu into such a frivolous girl?
Or was this what she wanted…?
Come to think of it, many of her friends had come over to play recently, and they seemed really close too.
‘That was nice… Wait, no, something felt off.’
“No need to worry, Ms. Su Ya. I’ve always been very gentle with Su Mu. I often give her delicious food, help her pick out nice clothes, and occasionally provide some financial support. I only do this because I’m very satisfied with her, not for any other reason.”
“Really?”
Hearing Su Ya’s strained tone, the corners of Tang Nai’s mouth curved into a wicked smile.
She gently pinched Su Mu’s chin, directing her gaze toward those bright red lips.
Her behavior was so flirtatious that it made Su Ya’s heart tighten.
‘So the landlord lady was actually… what they call a “yellow-haired” type? She used to seem like such a good person.’
Su Ya was disillusioned.
Tang Nai glanced teasingly at Su Mu’s sleeping face and shrugged innocently.
“I didn’t say anything wrong. Senior Ya just let her imagination run wild. In this situation, I was also in a difficult spot, so I could only play along and make it real.”
“Miss Landlord, this might be offensive, but I still want to ask… Are you planning to date our Su Mu with marriage in mind?”
Su Ya hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to ask.
“Yes, Ms. Su Ya… or rather, Aunt.” Tang Nai suddenly sat up straight.
Her lazy demeanor was instantly replaced by elegance and propriety.
Even though she was casually wearing a gray hoodie, she suddenly seemed reliable, making Su Ya almost want to believe this petite girl who was less than five feet tall.
“It’s not that I doubt you… It’s mainly because this kind of thing for a high school student…”
Tang Nai suddenly hooked her arm around Su Mu’s and obediently leaned against her again, revealing a rare gentle smile.
“Don’t worry, Aunt. I’m aware of that, and Su Mu feels the same way. So I’ll wait until she turns eighteen before we discuss lifelong matters…”
As she spoke, Tang Nai lightly flicked Su Mu’s nose with her finger.
The next moment, Su Mu suddenly woke up.
Her first reaction was to pinch Tang Nai’s face.
Of course, she didn’t succeed.
Instead, Tang Nai easily caught her wrist, neutralized her resistance, and leaned close to her ear to blow gently.
In an instant, Su Mu felt half her body go limp.
She had always been very sensitive, and just as she had guessed, the pent-up sensations were instantly awakened by that slight touch from Tang Nai.
If she hadn’t clenched her silver teeth tightly, she might have revealed an indecent expression.
“You heard that, right? What I just said to Senior Ya.”
Su Mu’s throat felt dry, and she had trouble speaking for a moment.
“Wh-what…”
“Senior Ya has already agreed to hand you over to me.”
“Ah… What exactly did you say to her…”
Tang Nai gently pressed her slender finger against Su Mu’s lips to stop her from continuing, then spoke in a soft voice only the two of them could hear.
“You don’t need to think too much. You just need to know that, in order to pay the price for the Momentary, you mu～st～o～bey～”
At such a close distance, Su Mu’s pretty face was already burning hot enough to fry an egg, yet she couldn’t muster the strength to push Tang Nai away.
It felt as if an invisible restraint had been placed on her body.
From the very beginning, Tang Nai hadn’t been after Su Mu’s body—she was Tang Nai, after all.
If she was going to scheme, she would scheme for this worthless pink-haired girl’s entire being!
Something as valuable as gifting the Momentary Swim couldn’t be compensated with petty tricks like card value.
Even if she really gave Su Mu away, the compensation she could get would be negligible, not to mention how quickly such things depreciated…
Once Su Mu no longer even felt shy, she would fall to the price of providing full service at Yanyu Tower.
And one Momentary was equivalent to a B-rank who would offer you everything.
First time’s awkward, second time’s familiar—she would eventually get used to it.
At this moment, Tang Nai still had her own little clever idea.
‘If I obtain Su Mu under these circumstances, could I get a family discount?’
The answer was yes, absolutely.
Not only that, even this “deliver at eighteen” contract would be enough to write off the entire debt.
After all, by then Su Mu would belong to Tang Nai completely.
She wouldn’t mind handing over the entire collection room to Su Mu.
“I-I just don’t understand. With your personality, there’s no way you’d covet something as small as this from me… Anyway, what exactly do you want? I really don’t get it anymore.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. For now, just play the role of my girlfriend properly in front of Senior Ya. I’ll explain everything later.”
Tang Nai quietly grinned.
She might not explain it later, though.
Listening to Tang Nai’s serious-sounding nonsense, Su Mu—having learned nothing from being tricked so many times—nodded blankly, then looked troubled again.
“But… how do I even play something like that?”
“You’ve done the real thing but can’t act out the fake? Heh, you’re just waiting for me to make the first move, aren’t you? Fine, then I’ll show you.”
With that, Tang Nai turned back to Su Ya with a smile, then turned to Su Mu, cupped her cheeks, and suddenly kissed her delicious lips without warning.
Although the contact lasted only a moment, Su Mu’s eyes widened in shock.
One second, two seconds…
Su Mu finally broke free from the restraint and pushed Tang Nai away.
But she didn’t dare show too much resistance.
She simply glared fiercely at Tang Nai with her watery autumn eyes, then turned her head away and said softly,
“You have a wicked heart.”
“Thank you for the compliment, darling.”
