Ideal Mary Sue

After breakfast, except for the two people guarding the door, the rest of the exhausted and sleepy people had already fallen asleep on the wool blanket.

Su Ning’s small temper finally found a chance to show itself. When Lin Yu reached out to embrace her, she directly leaned to the side and fell on the couch, her back facing him, closing her eyes without even giving him a glance.

Lin Yu picked up a thin blanket and just covered her with it when she sat up, fuming. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the people sleeping on the wool blanket. Her questioning tone was unconsciously very soft and light, making her already weak voice sound even more like she was whining.

“You really want me to sleep here!” Su Ning kicked off the thin blanket with her foot, staring at him, and whispered accusingly, “The sofa is both hard and big, there’s no pillow, and the blanket is so thin…” As she spoke, her voice grew even more aggrieved, “My stomach is already hurting, and you want me to sleep here…”

She had not even managed to force tears when he interrupted her, “Stomach ache?”

Lin Yu’s indifference disappeared, and his face became serious. He picked her up and sat her on his lap, letting her lean against him, his large hand gently pressing and kneading her stomach, “Does it hurt a lot?”

It didn’t really hurt; she was just saying it…

“Yes, it hurts!” Su Ning clung to his shoulders, her eyes brimming with tears, as if in genuine pain and discomfort, “I want to go upstairs; I want to rest in the big bed upstairs!”

“Okay, I’ll take you up.” Lin Yu’s words had barely left his mouth when Su Ning stuck to him like glue, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, clinging firmly to him, urging him, “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Lin Yu supported her with one hand and carried her snacks and tablet with the other, leading her through the living room and upstairs.

Su Ning’s chin rested on his shoulder, her fingers playing with the buttons on his shirt, her mouth constantly murmuring, “I feel sick, it hurts!”

Heh, he dared to tease me earlier…

Now, let’s see how it feels to have a broken heart!

Hearing her cry of pain, Lin Yu’s steps quickened, and he carried her up to the bed. Seeing her in obvious discomfort, he quickly fetched a hot water bottle, but she shifted away from it, muttering, “I don’t want this… it’s hot!” She then grabbed his wrist and replaced the hot water bottle with his palm on her stomach, saying, “It feels good when you rub it… it doesn’t hurt.”

Lin Yu simply lay down on the bed, allowing her to lean against him, holding her in his arms, one hand continuously and gently kneading her stomach, the other pulling the blanket over her, leaving only half her face exposed.

“I don’t want the blanket; it’s hot!” Su Ning tried to push it away, but he grabbed her hand and pulled it back under the covers.

Lin Yu frowned, saying, “You can be hot, but not cold.” He suspected that her discomfort had a lot to do with the bath she took this morning. So, “You can’t touch water this week.”

Su Ning widened her eyes, immediately objecting, “No! I have to bathe every day!”

“You can’t. If you touch the water, your stomach will hurt more.”

“I’ll feel uncomfortable all over if I don’t bathe! More uncomfortable than a stomach ache…” Su Ning turned in his arms, her moist eyes meeting his, “You have to think, would you like to hug a fragrant me or a stinky me?”

Lin Yu looked at her emotionlessly as she squirmed and fidgeted in his arms. He tightened his grip around her waist, stopping her movements, saying, “I like both the fragrant and the stinky.”

“I don’t like it!” Su Ning kicked him, attempting to be tough after being soft, “If you don’t let me bathe, you won’t be able to hug me, or sleep with me. You’ll have to sleep on the sofa or the floor!”

“Okay.” Lin Yu nodded, pretending to get up.

“Wuwu…” Not expecting him to actually agree, Su Ning quickly sat up and hugged him, burying her head in his chest, shedding a few tears on purpose, “You’re too much… my stomach hurts, and you’re going to leave me here all alone… you’re heartless, faithless!”

If her initial unease and caution made him feel pity and affection, the real her now, with her quirks and tempers, made him love her to his core, a love that grew daily and was hard to suppress.

Lin Yu’s eyes darkened as he silently gazed at the defenseless woman beneath him.

She was dressed lightly, pressed tightly against him. Her loose collar had somehow slipped to one side, exposing half her shoulder. Her long, pale legs were restless under her knee-length shorts, kicking the blanket. Her soft, pale skin was flushed pink from the heat. After being pampered with good food and care for so many days, she no longer looked ragged as when they first met. Instead, she seemed like a spoiled young lady, untouched by hardship…

The tear in the corner of her eye gave him an urge to bully her, make her suffer a bit, make her really cry. But he couldn’t bear to, torn between conflicting feelings, his tone unconsciously growing deeper.

“Let go.”

“I won’t!”

If he really wants to leave, she can’t stop him with the little strength she has in her hands.

Still unaware of the danger, she continues to complain: “… You must be reluctant to let me use the water… You clearly said before that you had as much water as a river in your space for me to use as I please… You don’t keep your word… Fine, I can wash every other day…”

Lin Yu actually can’t hear clearly what she’s saying; he’s only focused on her soft, pink lips, as if inviting him to taste them, or hold them and give them a lick.

Lin Yu repeats, “Let go.”

Let her choose then: let go and he will leave her be, or not let go and…

“Not letting go, unless you promise me, every two days!”

Every two days for a wash, that’s her biggest compromise. But if he says three days… Su Ning shifts her eyes and simply agrees for now, so he doesn’t change his mind.

Every two days, he thinks he can’t endure that long.

Lin Yu says in a deep voice, “Once a day.”

“What?”

Su Ning is stunned, thinking she misheard when he leans in and kisses her lips, holding them and grinding against them, his warm breath against her skin, creating an illusion that the surrounding air is steaming.

These past few days, he has kissed her, but only lightly and briefly. Why is it this time… she feels his warm hand moving up inside her clothes…

Is he serious?!

“Wu-wu!“

This won’t do! She’s just started her period!

Su Ning quickly loosens her grip on his neck and tries to push his hand away, which is fumbling with her bra, attempting to dodge his kiss, but he kisses her deeper and more forcefully, and she can’t escape.

Her hand is caught by him, taken out of her clothes and kissed.

Her mouth finally free, Su Ning doesn’t have a chance to catch her breath when she sees him about to kiss her again, and she hurriedly covers his mouth with her hand.

Her eyes are reddened, full of tears, looking utterly pitiable.

“Lin Yu… My stomach hurts, I’m uncomfortable… Get up… Let me change my pad…”

Seeing her reluctance, Lin Yu pulls her hand away from his mouth, nuzzling her neck and leaving several red marks on her flushed shoulder, making her skin appear even more luscious and tempting.

“Lin Yu… I’m on my period… You can’t do this…” Su Ning stops pushing him away, gently laying her hand on his arm, her voice trembling and uncertain, negotiating, “Lin Yu… Can we wait until after this time…?”

“Mm.” Lin Yu’s husky, suppressed voice sounds in her ear, “I won’t touch you.”

He brushes aside her sweat-dampened hair, revealing her smooth, white forehead, delicate nose, and moist, swollen red lips, partially open as she breathes. She turns her head to the side, a tear mingling with sweat sliding down her cheek.

“Then get up… Don’t lie on me…” Su Ning tries to move from beneath him but is held down by his shoulders.

Lin Yu straightens her collar, wraps his arms around her waist, and sits her up.

Sitting on his lap, she can feel the hard, hot sensation against her, even through his pants, making her body quiver!

Su Ning tries to escape his embrace, but Lin Yu tightens his hold, firmly keeping her in his arms.

“Don’t move.”

Su Ning obeys, resting her head against his chest, motionless.

His large hand strokes her hair, and Lin Yu slowly says, “Because I treated you this way; are you angry with me?”

Lin Yu, I’m not angry, just disappointed in your self-control. Seems like I can’t let you hug me so casually anymore…

Softly, in his embrace, Su Ning says, “A little…”

“I’m sorry,” Lin Yu says, his eyes downcast and indifferent. “It won’t happen again.”

I don’t believe you! Su Ning pouts where he can’t see, but her tone is extremely obedient, “Mm.”

…

A long time later.

“Lin Yu, I’m tired.”

“Go to sleep.” Lin Yu said, holding her without any intention of letting go, apparently wanting her to sleep in his arms.

Su Ning, however, pushed his hand away and said softly, “I want to sleep in the bed,” her eyes downcast, not looking at him.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then gently laid her on the bed. He watched as she pulled back the quilt she had previously complained was too thick and hot, covering her entire body, and slowly turned over, her back facing him.

Lin Yu stood up and walked out the door.

Su Ning sighed in relief, wriggled out from under the blanket, and pulled the corner of the quilt to cover only her stomach. She closed her eyes, rubbed against the soft and comfortable pillow, and peacefully fell asleep….

…

The manager, who had been watching the entire scene, had a serious look on his face. As his assistant was about to shut off the screen, he reached out and stopped her.

The assistant, confused, asked, “Manager, why have you been paying so much attention to this world lately? Is there some significant mistake?”

“It’s nothing,” the manager shook his head, his indifferent eyes gazing at her, “Don’t stay here, go do your own thing.”

“…Oh.” The assistant placed a small glowing sphere on his desk and turned to leave.

In the scene projected by the small glowing sphere, Su Ning was sleeping sweetly, wrapped in her quilt, while Lin Yu was standing at the room’s doorway, leaning against the closed door, motionless.

Since Su Ning entered this world, except for the times automatically blocked by the system for privacy, the manager had been closely observing her almost every day. Initially, he thought he was focusing on her to collect the frustrated expressions and GIFs of the bug host, Mu Ling. But now, even though she had parted ways with the bug host, why couldn’t he help but continue watching her?

Even when he saw what Lin Yu was about to do to her, an indescribable emotion that he hadn’t felt in a long time suddenly surged in his heart.

The manager wasn’t foolish; he knew that these feelings for Su Ning were inappropriate.

Having been the administrator of the Mary Sue world for so many years, he thought his heart had become stagnant, unable to be stirred. But unexpectedly, in just over a week, he had fallen for a woman solely through a screen projection.

No, it might just be a fondness, especially since she’s the absorber of the Bai Dan, so feeling affectionate after watching her for a long time could be understandable.

The manager comforted himself in this way.

However, the hand that was reaching to shut off the screen couldn’t press down!

Diverting his gaze, the manager scrolled through the emoticons he had collected, but his mood didn’t improve.

He sighed deeply, clicking on a photograph.

In the picture, Su Ning had just arrived in the post-apocalyptic world, had stumbled and fallen while being chased by zombies, and was lying on the ground, looking ahead.

This image, no matter how many times he looked at it, or how long he stared, never became tiresome.

Especially those eyes…

The manager’s pale fingertips gently stroked the screen, wondering how there could be such a captivating existence in the world…

He was eager to see her in person.
