Not afraid? How is that possible!
Xia Mengxi was so angry she was practically fuming, but as always, whenever Lin Xue’er stubbornly insisted on something, she would never change her mind.
“Mistaken… If it’s like this, then if I continue here, will you get mad, Xiaotai?”
Feeling a sharp jolt shoot straight to her mind from her ear, Xia Mengxi couldn’t help but let out a soft moan.
“So noisy!”
Damn Lin Xue’er, using her trump card right from the start, isn’t this too much?
“I…Shut up! I-I’m not afraid!”
“Oh? Really? But your reaction, Xiaogu, doesn’t look like someone who’s not afraid, hmm?”
While teasing Xia Mengxi’s ear with the Feather, Lin Xue’er also forced her to meet her gaze over and over again. Xia Mengxi instinctively closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Lin Xue’er’s face.
“Xiaotai, you’re not allowed to close your eyes. Look at me.”
“Uhh…I just want to close them!”
Seeing this, Lin Xue’er frowned slightly. Xia Mengxi’s resistance made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
“This is your punishment, Xiaogu.”
As she spoke, Lin Xue’er pulled a Metal Tube from her chest. Right after, Xia Mengxi felt a sharp sting at the base of her Left Hand.
“You…What did you inject me with?!”
Xia Mengxi widened her eyes, staring in shock at the person in front of her.
“It’s nothing much. Just something to make your body more sensitive, Xiaogu.”
As Lin Xue’er finished speaking, Xia Mengxi became even more acutely aware of her body. The sensation was reminiscent of when she was sick, but several times stronger.
Even the lightest touch of the thin fabric on her body was enough to make her feel as if she’d been struck by lightning, her mind shaken and tense.
“Xiaogu, didn’t you say you weren’t afraid? Hehe, I’d like to see just how long you can last under these circumstances.”
After raising Xia Mengxi’s sensitivity, Lin Xue’er didn’t touch her at all. She just circled around her, wandering to and fro.
Seeing this, Xia Mengxi grit her teeth, but still forced herself to say, “That’s it? Hah, I… I’m not afraid.”
“We haven’t even started yet, Xiaotai. I hope you’ll still be so tough in a bit.”
“Kidding, I…ah!”
Before Xia Mengxi could finish speaking, Lin Xue’er suddenly blew a breath into her ear. The intense sensation made her entire body tense up instantly.
“Ugh, it’s…not that bad…cough!”
Seeing her like this, Lin Xue’er smiled lightly, saying nothing. She continued circling around Xia Mengxi, her actions unhurried.
Is it coming again?
Xia Mengxi nervously raised her head, waiting for Lin Xue’er’s next move.
But after several minutes, the other party still made no further move.
Why isn’t she doing anything?
Xia Mengxi frowned, and then suddenly, as she scratched lightly at her chest, she couldn’t help but moan again.
“You…! Don’t think that doing this will make me…afraid of you!”
Realizing Lin Xue’er’s plan to torment her mentally, Xia Mengxi immediately put on a fierce expression, trying to show that she wasn’t afraid at all.
Yet, when Lin Xue’er heard this, she didn’t respond, just continued to wait by her side for the moment when Xia Mengxi would lower her guard, so she could touch her in a way that would make her even more sensitive.
“The effect is almost over. For the second round, I’ll double the concentration, Xiaotai. You’d better brace yourself.”
“Hah…bring it on!”
So what if she doubled it? She wasn’t afraid!
As another sharp prick hit her wrist, Xia Mengxi’s senses grew even sharper—she could feel the flow of air itself.
“Huh?! No way… Why is my body suddenly so hot and restless, itchy in ways I’ve never felt before? So strange… So infuriating!”
Perhaps because her body was now extra sensitive, the mere touch of her light, thin clothes felt like an electric current running through her.
This feeling was completely unfamiliar, and for a moment, Xia Mengxi didn’t know what to do—she was genuinely afraid.
“My body…it’s so…weird… What did you do to me…?”
Lin Xue’er’s arms enveloped her, and in that embrace, the girl’s eyes grew misty, her lovely face flushing red as she anxiously begged for relief.
Seeing this, Lin Xue’er smiled gently, then leaned in close to Xia Mengxi’s ear and whispered, “I haven’t done anything at all, Xiaotai~”
“What?”
What’s going on? What’s happening to me? Why did my mind suddenly go blank?
Wait! Could it be…that thing?!
As she tried to process her own reaction, one word surfaced in Xia Mengxi’s mind.
Since becoming a girl, this was the first time she’d felt such an unfamiliar, extreme sensation. It was similar to what she’d experienced before when Lin Xue’er teased her, but not the same—this time it came out of nowhere, all at once.
She even felt like it was coming again, just after the previous round ended.
So scary! This double-strength stuff is even more terrifying than I thought! It even affects other things!
No…way…
“Xiaotai, do you like this feeling?”
No way…I-I don’t…like it…
In just a few minutes, Xia Mengxi had no idea how many times she’d been taken to the edge, but she kept count in her head, using that to keep herself sane.
“Heh? Looks like your willpower is pretty strong, Xiaogu. In that case, how about after this wears off, I increase it to triple strength?”
Her eyes were misty, and all she could see was Lin Xue’er’s silhouette looming above her. But Xia Mengxi’s resistance didn’t fade; even in her dazed state, she forced a smile and retorted, “If you’ve got the guts…do it! I’ll never…give in…to you…!”
As soon as she said this, Lin Xue’er’s smile slowly faded, as if she’d been defeated by Xia Mengxi’s willpower.
But only for now. In the next instant, a sly, addicted grin crept over Lin Xue’er’s face. She gently stroked Xia Mengxi’s cheek, then once more leaned in to whisper in her ear.
“No wonder the last time I teased you, you acted scared but still tried to escape, Xiaotai…you’re something else, aren’t you? But don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to break down that strong will of yours, and make you…surrender completely.”
Even though this feeling was terrifying—so terrifying it was unforgettable, even somewhat nostalgic—Xia Mengxi refused to fall for it. So, facing Lin Xue’er’s words, she stubbornly replied, “No…I…I’ll never…lose!”
