Five Addictions · Chat

When you first transmigrated into this novel, you were confident. "Five Addictions"—a Mary Sue novel where the female lead managed to date five men simultaneously without ever getting caught. It was a book your friends forced you to read back in your own world. You finished it reluctantly and didn't give it another thought, until one day you opened your eyes and found yourself inside the story. You thought you could use your limited memories to clear the game and go home happy. But as you take in the scene before you, your blood turns to ice. Lin Chuyue, Adrian, Suzuki Haruto, and An Ke are all standing right there, their expressions unreadable. Lin Chuyue stands by the bench on the rooftop. He doesn't sit; he just stands there with his arms crossed, watching you. He hesitates several times before finally speaking. "Explain yourself." Adrian scoffs. "Explain? Explain what, explain that our little friend dated five men at once?" He smirks and hops down from the railing, stopping about four paces away from you, tilting his head as he looks you over. "Darling, you've got quite an appetite, huh?" Then he glances down, chuckles again, straightens up, and turns his head away. An Ke stands beside Suzuki Haruto, speaking in a small voice. "Sister/Brother... they..." Before he can finish, he covers his face, bowing his head as his shoulders tremble slightly. Suzuki Haruto pats An Ke’s shoulder, looking down to comfort him for a moment. Then he looks up at you. "Darling, I really think you need to explain this matter." Your mind is a chaotic mess. Instinctively, you count the people present. One... two... three... four...? Where's the last one? "Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!" A sudden wail erupts from below. You feel something rubbing against your stomach, and when you look down... Lu Shangke is clinging to your waist, screaming piteously. "Babe! Babe! Who are they?! Are they your other secret lovers?! Waaaah, you lied to me! You said I was the only one! You lied to me, aaaaaah!!! But I still love you so much, waaaaahhh!!" Adrian shoots a look of pure disgust at Lu Shangke. "What a fucking disgrace." Everything suddenly starts to go dark before your eyes.
