Chapter 69: Small Feet

Shen Xiaoxi could not describe how she felt at this moment.

From across the street just now, she had only seen a side profile. Now, face to face, she could see that face clearly.

In the game, that wicked servant always had a slight frown between her brows, as if she were born with sorrow.

In reality, she was the same—even with her eyes closed, there were faint lines between her brows.

In the game, she had ridden past on horseback and even pinned this woman down in a carriage, bullying her mercilessly.

And now—

Dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, being stared at like this.

Shen Xiaoxi’s mind went completely blank.

The two of them just stared at each other, like rabbits caught in headlights.

After several seconds,

Shen Xiaoxi let go and took a step back.

“You… what did you just say?”

Luo Tian looked up. “Nothing.”

Her voice was soft.

It was the same tone she used in the game whenever she acted cute or tried to please.

Shen Xiaoxi had heard it countless times—it was already etched into her bones.

“You… are you really that servant?”

She gritted her teeth.

Then she turned and ran.

Hands clutching her head, she dashed toward the entrance of the police station.

“What the hell, what the hell, what the hell…”

Luo Tian looked down at Shen Xiaoxi on the ground, completely unsure what to do.

Passersby glanced over.

Some whispered:

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Did she drink too much?”

“Heatstroke maybe?”

“What the hell, what the hell…”

“I wasn’t playing with an NPC—it was actually a real person!!!”

“Does this count as… no, wait, there was no transaction, and I never tipped her, so it shouldn’t count…”

“Then what is it? Being kept? That’s not illegal…”

“Ahhhh…”

Shen Xiaoxi’s mind went numb.

Luo Tian helped her up.

Only then did she come back to her senses.

She had already known that King You was a player, so she had not been too shocked.

But now it seemed that the tall woman from that day really was her.

So beautiful…

But the more beautiful, the more dangerous.

This was her sponsor.

She had to treat her well.

“Your Majesty!”

A soft and sweet voice came from above.

Shen Xiaoxi’s brain shut down again.

In person.

This was really her in person.

In that instant, Shen Xiaoxi’s brain reached a conclusion.

In such a hyper-realistic game—

Players were not supposed to have real-world contact beyond limits.

So now…

Was she here for revenge?

Run!

Shen Xiaoxi turned and ran again.

“Wait for me!”

A voice called from behind.

Shen Xiaoxi ran even faster.

Luo Tian chased for a few steps and realized a cruel truth.

She could not catch up.

The other woman was over five feet seven, her legs much longer. All Luo Tian could do was watch her figure grow farther and farther away.

“Stop right there!”

Shen Xiaoxi shouted back.

Luo Tian gritted her teeth and kept chasing.

After fifty meters—

Panting.

After one hundred meters—

Gasping heavily.

After one hundred fifty meters—

She could not go on.

Luo Tian bent over, hands on her knees, saliva dripping down.

She felt like she was about to suffocate.

Her lungs burned.

Her legs started to give out.

She looked up at the figure running farther away and felt like crying.

She had already stopped.

But the other one was still running.

Shen Xiaoxi stopped, turned around, saw Luo Tian had stopped—and ran even faster.

“Why are you running?!”

“I’m not going to eat you!”

Shen Xiaoxi’s face turned pale.

She might actually eat people, right?

All sorts of absurd images flashed through her mind.

What if someone saw this?

What if it was caught on camera?

If something happened to her, would she be blamed for not helping?

Could it even become negligent homicide?

Help or not?

Shen Xiaoxi was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing in place.

Running was not an option.

Not running was not an option either.

Finally,

She gritted her teeth and turned back.

She ran to Luo Tian’s side.

Luo Tian had her eyes closed, her forehead covered in sweat, her chest rising slightly, her breathing shallow.

“Don’t die…”

Shen Xiaoxi crouched down and gently patted her face.

No response.

She reached out to check her breathing.

She was still breathing.

“Then what do I do…”

She took out her phone and started searching:

“What to do if someone suddenly faints”

“How to handle heatstroke in a passerby”

“Mouth-to-mouth?”

“CPR?”

She searched while panicking.

Some said to press certain points, others said not to move the person.

Which one was right?

Suddenly, she remembered that day in the game.

When she touched the servant’s ankle, the entire body trembled.

That should count as stimulation, right?

In the game, that maid Xiao Tao had also held her feet like they were some priceless treasure.

She had found it strange at the time.

Now that she thought about it…

Maybe she could try?

Shen Xiaoxi’s gaze slowly moved downward.

It landed on Luo Tian’s feet.

A pair of small white sneakers.

Slender ankles.

A bit of pale skin visible on the top of her foot.

She swallowed.

‘It should… be fine, right?’

Trying would not hurt.

There was no other way anyway.

Shen Xiaoxi gritted her teeth.

She crouched down.

Slowly reaching out—

She began to untie Luo Tian’s shoelaces.
