Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 82
A gentle breeze drifted through the room, carrying a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Although they had used the same shower gel, once it blended with the natural scents of Xu Nian and Su Qingya, it became two entirely different aromas.
Mixed together, the fragrance was more enchanting than the finest perfume in the world.
There was more to care for than just Xu Nian’s hair.
Her fox ears and fluffy tail also needed attention.
Su Qingya patiently groomed them one by one without the slightest complaint, treating every movement with meticulous care.
Under her skillful hands, the delicate little white fox spirit seemed to be reborn.
Looking into the mirror, Xu Nian could clearly see Su Qingya’s expression.
There was boundless affection in her eyes.
But alongside that affection was something else—
The look of an artist admiring a masterpiece she had painstakingly created.
It was beautiful.
And undeniably possessive.
Xu Nian noticed everything.
Rather than feeling uncomfortable, she found herself quietly pleased.
This thoughtful, loving, and possessive Su Qingya belonged to her.
And in Xu Nian’s eyes…
Su Qingya herself was also a masterpiece she had carefully shaped.
“Niannian, let’s watch a horror movie together.”
Su Qingya’s abrupt suggestion instantly pulled Xu Nian out of her thoughts.
“…Huh?”
“W-Why are you suddenly interested in horror movies?”
“I’m studying.”
Su Qingya answered with complete seriousness.
“I want to see how the creators build fear and suspense. Maybe I can learn something useful and apply it when dealing with enemies.”
As she spoke, she opened her laptop and selected one of the highest-rated horror films she could find.
Learning combat techniques from horror movies…
Xu Nian had to admit—
It wasn’t a bad idea.
“Then you should watch plenty of them and become stronger as soon as possible.”
She quietly kissed the adorable fox girl’s head before tightening her tail around herself.
“I’ll… go play games on the computer instead.”
She tried to slip away.
“No.”
Su Qingya grabbed the back of Xu Nian’s collar and effortlessly pulled her back.
“You have to watch with me.”
“Q-Qingya…”
“You know I can’t handle this kind of thing.”
Xu Nian lowered her voice, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression in hopes of earning some sympathy.
Instead…
Su Qingya smiled.
“It’s okay.”
“I’ll protect you.”
“If Niannian is scared…”
“I’ll just hold you.”
Being held while watching a horror movie?
Why did that sound so strange?
Wouldn’t that make her look like the timid girlfriend?
No.
Absolutely not.
Xu Nian had her pride.
She couldn’t lose over something like this.
“…Fine.”
“We’ll watch together.”
“But…”
“I want to be underneath.”
“Okay.”
Su Qingya readily agreed.
A mysterious smile appeared on her face.
When they entered the viewing room, Xu Nian sat down while Su Qingya skillfully operated the projector.
She was already familiar with the room.
Soon, the movie began.
Then—
Without warning—
Su Qingya pushed Xu Nian backward onto the sofa.
Xu Nian ended up lying beneath her.
She could still see the giant screen overhead…
But…
But this posture—
“W-Wait!”
“This isn’t what I meant!”
“So this is what you think ‘underneath’ means?”
The “underneath” Xu Nian had imagined was simply resting comfortably while being held.
Not…
This.
“It’s the same.”
“It is not the same!”
“Then I want to be on top.”
“No problem.”
Su Qingya immediately lifted Xu Nian into her arms.
She sat down and placed Xu Nian comfortably on her lap.
“…Huh?”
“I’m stuck!”
“It’s still the same.”
Su Qingya wrapped both arms securely around Xu Nian’s waist, holding her tightly as though she were worried Xu Nian might run away.
Xu Nian nearly fainted from frustration.
She closed her eyes in defeat.
Fine.
Let Su Qingya have her little victory.
As the movie continued, however…
Xu Nian gradually became absorbed.
She was scared.
But not so scared that she couldn’t watch.
The film was genuinely well made.
It kept her terrified while making her desperate to know what happened next.
Fear…
And curiosity…
Existing together.
Eventually, the story reached its climax.
The protagonist cautiously explored a gloomy, abandoned house.
Hidden within the darkness…
Countless unseen eyes silently watched every movement.
Combined with the eerie soundtrack, the tension became overwhelming.
Before she realized it…
Xu Nian had completely immersed herself in the story.
It felt as though she herself were the one walking through that haunted building.
As the camera slowly swept across the room…
A battered doll briefly appeared in the corner.
Then—
It vanished.
The protagonist froze.
Xu Nian’s heart skipped a beat along with his.
Moments later…
The protagonist turned another corner.
The doll’s face suddenly filled the screen.
A piercing burst of music exploded at the same instant.
“Ah!”
Xu Nian jumped so violently she nearly reverted to her fox form.
Her entire body trembled.
Even every strand of fur on her tail stood on end.
Terrified, she scrambled across the sofa, seized a pillow, and buried herself behind it as though it could somehow protect her.
“Q-Qingya…”
“Say something.”
“This movie is amazing, and there isn’t a single dull moment…”
“But if we don’t talk at all…”
“Can this even be called watching it together?”
The truth was simple.
If Su Qingya talked to her…
She wouldn’t become so immersed.
And if she wasn’t completely immersed…
She wouldn’t be nearly as frightened.
She reached beside her.
“…Hm?”
Where was Su Qingya?
A moment ago, she had clearly felt those arms around her waist.
But when she looked down…
There were no arms.
The lingering warmth faded like flowing water until nothing remained.
The room suddenly felt…
Empty.
“W-What…?”
What had happened?
Xu Nian’s thoughts raced.
One horrifying possibility after another flooded her mind.
Some were completely irrational.
Others…
Felt disturbingly plausible.
Every single one was enough to give her nightmares.
“…Qingya?”
She called out cautiously.
No response.
When had Su Qingya disappeared?
Xu Nian’s breathing quickened.
The entire room suddenly felt different.
The music from the movie echoed through the darkness.
Her heartbeat grew louder.
Then…
She heard something behind her.
Qingya?
Hope surged inside her.
She turned around immediately.
Instead…
A doll sat silently in the corner.
It looked…
Exactly like the one from the movie.
“…AHHH!!”
Why was it here?!
How had it gotten out of the movie?!
When?!
“Gah!”
Terror erupted like a volcano.
Xu Nian let out a startled cry and collapsed backward onto the sofa.
