Bai Xiaoya didn’t try to hide it—the little bunny slippers she wore clicked audibly against the floor with each step. Bai Xia looked up at the busty girl descending the stairs step by step.
After reexamining their relationship yesterday, Bai Xia was seeing Bai Xiaoya with a brand-new, unique perspective, as if meeting her all over again.
The pajamas seemed a bit tight, the collar bulging awkwardly. With each bounce down the stairs, her vitality seemed to overflow.
Her adorable face was puffed up, as if ready to settle a score with fierce determination. And those full, slender, snow-white legs… tempting as ever.
Bai Xia’s gaze landed on Bai Xiaoya’s thighs, but she quickly averted her eyes, feeling a little guilty.
Bai Xiaoya didn’t notice the subtle glance.
She puffed up her chest and marched over to the girl’s side, speaking coldly, “Bai Xia, don’t think you’ve won!”
But Bai Xia didn’t reply; she simply found a box of wet wipes on the table, pulled one out, and handed it to her.
A regular floral-scented cleaning wipe, though it didn’t smell nearly as nice as Bai Xiaoya herself.
So Bai Xiaoya looked confused.
“What’s this for?”
“To wipe,” Bai Xia pointed at Bai Xiaoya’s thigh, “right here.”
“?”
Bai Xiaoya couldn’t see what was on her thigh because her chest blocked the view.
She reached over and touched it—something dry and sticky.
Suddenly, she remembered that yesterday afternoon, Bai Xia had come back and hugged her thick white thigh…
“Pervert!”
Bai Xiaoya’s chest heaved as she fumed, “But don’t get cocky. Don’t think I’ll give up just because of that.”
She quickly used the wet wipe to clean her thigh.
Bai Xia tilted her head, looking at her curiously.
“Are we… competing at something?”
Why was there talk of winning or losing?
Only then did Bai Xiaoya realize that Bai Xia probably didn’t know about her ‘villainous young lady’ mission, but since the challenge had been issued, she gritted her teeth and said, “You know what it is yourself!”
She then sat opposite Bai Xia, picked up her bowl, and pretended to focus on eating.
Eat, eat more—only by filling up could she have the strength to keep fighting.
Bai Xia thought for a long time.
The only “competition” she could think of between them was in bed… so, was this something to be compared as well?
Though it felt a bit childish, she definitely wasn’t going to lose.
Besides, she wanted to tell Bai Xiaoya: hadn’t she forgotten what was in her hand?
“…”
Never mind, good steel is used on the blade’s edge.
She’d wait for a new task before making a move.
After finishing the meal, Bai Xiaoya hurried back to her bedroom.
Although she hadn’t caused trouble today and theoretically shouldn’t face retaliation, in her eyes, Bai Xia had already become a real pervert.
Who knew if there wouldn’t be another “ambush”?
“I won’t charge in,” Bai Xiaoya muttered quietly to the empty room, “always maintaining Full Power State, so I’m not afraid of you.”
Though she said that, after thinking for a few minutes, she pushed two small sofas against her door, bracing it firmly.
Even if Bai Xia could pick the lock, she wouldn’t be able to push the door open and get in.
That was Bai Xiaoya’s plan.
She was clearly unaware that Bai Xia had just undergone Great Strength enhancement.
As for Bai Xia, though she had set a Strategic Guideline of “maintaining the relationship, seeking missions,” she still hadn’t figured out the specifics.
She could only let things unfold naturally and explore little by little.
During these waiting days, she stuck to her original plan—sitting in front of the computer, searching local rumors and strange stories, hoping to find clues about other mysterious artifacts.
Unfortunately, she found nothing.
Bai Xiaoya often tried to provoke her during meals, always looking for an opportunity to say a few words.
“Yo, isn’t this Bai Xia? One day without seeing you and it’s so peaceful.”
“Some people are perverts behind the scenes, but think others don’t know.”
“Tell me, would your high school dorm even allow fights…?”
Unfortunately, after several tries, Bai Xiaoya received no System Message indicating Task completion. Her words didn’t provoke any emotional reaction.
Bai Xiaoya was frustrated.
“No, is her mental threshold really that high?”
Actually, Bai Xia was also troubled—hearing Bai Xiaoya chatter endlessly in front of her but no task arriving was disheartening.
“None of these count as provocation?” she muttered to the air.
[No intense emotional reaction detected. Not an effective Provocation.]
“…” Bai Xia fell silent.
She must have been holding herself back too much recently.
Of course, Bai Xiaoya didn’t think Bai Xia was without weaknesses.
The reason she hadn’t completed the Task was that she hadn’t hit the right spot.
Besides not daring to touch the hellish jokes, were there any other sensitive points?
Bai Xiaoya couldn’t think of any for now.
With only one day left of vacation, she was ready to give up.
After all, she had done a minimum guarantee once; she could take her time later and eventually find a crack.
Her vacation had just one day remaining, and Bai Xia was also facing one last day before returning to High School.
Madam Bai was very attentive about this.
Although she had things to do today, before leaving, she specifically pulled Bai Xiaoya and Bai Xia aside.
“Xiaoya, Xia is going back to school tomorrow. She had some issues before and hasn’t been to school for years.”
Bai Xiaoya blinked. “I know.”
But why tell me this?
At that moment, Bai Xia looked thoughtful, as if she had just realized something.
Madam Bai smiled, “This is perfect. You’re a University Student, and Xia will surely handle her High School courses with ease. You should tutor her today, help her preview so she doesn’t fall behind once she’s back.”
Bai Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, wanting to say that University Students don’t necessarily have a grip on High School material—they’ve forgotten most of it. Besides, “One day of tutoring can do much?”
“One day is better than none. Besides, weekends will be free anyway,” Madam Bai said cheerfully, looking at her own daughter.
“Xia, right?”
Bai Xia smiled and nodded, “Exactly, I think that’s right.”
Bai Xiaoya immediately became wary.
One day’s tutoring is meaningless; she knew this, Bai Xia knew it too—but Bai Xia still agreed, so what did that mean?
It meant the Bai family definitely had some ulterior motives!
“Then hurry up and get to it. Good luck.”
Pressed by Madam Bai, Bai Xiaoya reluctantly followed Bai Xia upstairs and entered her room.
The first day she had seen this “minimalist” room from the outside, and even after a few days, the interior remained unchanged—except for some clutter tucked tightly into boxes in the corners, hiding what was inside.
Bai Xia skillfully turned on the desk lamp on the bookshelf, neatly arranged textbooks and other books, then glanced back to see Bai Xiaoya standing at the doorway, her beautiful eyes glaring.
“I warn you,” the white-haired, busty girl said seriously, “I haven’t had any… so I’ve been in Full Power State all these days!”
Sweeping away weakness! Battle strength at full throttle!
Bai Xia chuckled lightly and pulled over a chair for her.
“Sit.”
