“Senior Sister Lin, please… calm down!”
In front of the small bathroom shrouded in mist, a chain reaction triggered by the mischievous little Su Xixi’s antics had led to a series of sounds that made one’s heart race and face flush.
Feeling waves of numbness spreading through his body, Su Qi, who had a strength attribute of six, tried his best to push Lin Xue away.
However, to someone like Lin Xue, who was as thirsty as a person stranded in the desert for days, his soft resistance was unable to withstand her Desire Web.
Whether it was the enchanting sounds of being “consumed” or the sensation of power continuously draining from his body, it was all too shameful.
Su Qi’s cheeks, already flushed from the bath, now turned a vivid crimson.
He instinctively closed his eyes, only for a more detailed cross-sectional diagram to emerge in his mind, leaving him wanting to cry but having no tears.
‘Ugh… looking at a close-up of Senior Sister Lin feasting like this…’ Su Qi felt even more humiliated.
“Senior Sister Lin, stop.”
Fortunately, before long—perhaps because the delicious juice in the fruit had been depleted, or because the fed Lin Xue had gained a massive boost to her obedience attribute—she responded.
Upon Su Qi’s third request, Lin Xue finally pulled her face away, which was tinged with a slight paleness.
Unlike her sickly appearance before the meal, Lin Xue looked significantly healthier now. Her previously listless red eyes were now sparkling.
“Th-that… Junior Brother Su Qi, I… I was just too hungry lately. The scent on you was too delicious, and I… I couldn’t help myself. I’m… I’m sorry.”
Gone was her usual frivolous tone.
Coming back to her senses after a moment of confusion, she immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Looking at Senior Sister Lin Xue, who was acting as well-behaved as a primary school student, Su Qi felt a complex mix of emotions: anger, helplessness, and, above all, embarrassment.
‘What does she mean by “the scent on you was too delicious” and “couldn’t help myself”?’
‘I am your food? And aren’t you a Blood Princess? Why aren’t you consuming blood!’
‘Ugh… this Blood Princess is clearly not normal.’
More importantly, did Senior Sister Lin Xue almost call him “Mother” just now?
Although the skill granted by this increase in the Su Wife Ability was Motherly Radiance—which boosted the favorability and obedience of those fed—and he had technically succeeded in “feeding” her in various senses, how did it lead to this?
It was far too strange!
“Xixi~”
Just as Su Qi was staring at the apologetic Lin Xue, unsure of how to punish her, the little one who had been startled by the cold water returned to normal.
Su Xixi trotted over curiously on her four short, damp legs.
Seeing that the little guy was making a mess of Lin Xue’s room because she hadn’t been dried off yet, Su Qi, feeling overwhelmed by Lin Xue’s apology, decided to shift the blame to the little creature to change the subject.
“Sen… Senior Sister Lin, go out and dry Su Xixi first. I’m going to take another shower.”
As he spoke, a bashful Su Qi lightly gripped the doorknob, trying to stand up and move away from Lin Xue.
However, the moment he applied pressure to his feet, his body felt weak and the bathroom floor was slippery.
Su Qi nearly lost his footing and almost fell onto Lin Xue’s waist again.
Fortunately, he managed to steady himself by holding onto the doorknob.
Once he stood up, he saw a compliant Lin Xue carry the little guy out of the bathroom.
Bang.
He closed the bathroom door.
Feeling a faint lingering heat in his chest and a slight numbness in his body, he couldn’t help but think about how he had inadvertently shared an intimate moment with Senior Sister Lin—the kind of thing that transcends ordinary friendship.
To calm himself down and wash away the lingering scent of Senior Sister Lin, Su Qi turned on the shower. He didn’t use hot water, adjusting it to a cool temperature instead.
The chilly water washed over his delicate skin, cooling his burning cheeks and helping him gradually recover from the chaos.
As his reason returned, Su Qi pondered how to face Senior Sister Lin later. At the same time, he made a realization that left him speechless.
‘Emmmmm… before being “eaten” by Lin Xue, I felt a sense of fullness, like a volcano about to erupt. It was similar to the pent-up feeling a boy gets after seeing something spicy and not being able to release it.’
‘But after being eaten just now, I feel unexpectedly relaxed.’
‘Ugh… why does it feel like my body is getting weirder and weirder?’
‘No, I should be thinking about how to interact with Senior Sister Lin.’
While Su Qi was lost in his confused thoughts in the bathroom, in the orchid-scented bedroom just a wall away, Lin Xue was holding Su Xixi and drying her fluffy fur.
However, Lin Xue was clearly distracted. Holding the towel, she had rubbed Su Xixi’s round body eight times already.
Even though the four little legs were still soaking wet, she didn’t notice at all.
She wasn’t even looking at the little guy; her red eyes were fixed on the bathroom door, lost in reminiscence.
‘The scent on Su Qi just now… it was even more delicious than blood.’
‘And for some reason, after tasting that deliciousness, I felt a profound sense of closeness. I had an impulse to call him “Mother.” Also, when he gave me instructions, I instinctively wanted to obey!’
‘This is truly strange.’
Xixi~
As Lin Xue was immersed in her fantasy world, the little guy in her arms, who was practically about to catch fire from the friction, let out a dissatisfied grumble.
“Ah, Xixi, I’m sorry. I forgot about you for a second.”
Coming back to reality, Lin Xue finally began drying the four short legs and then used the blow dryer to finish the job.
After rinsing for another half an hour to completely calm down, Su Qi put on a nightgown and finally stepped out of the bathroom.
“Su… Su Qi, you… you’re done washing?”
“Yes, I’m finished. Senior Sister Lin, if you want to wash up, you can go now.”
“Ah, I’ll wash later. The bed is already made. Do you want to sleep on the left or the right?”
“Either is fine.”
“Oh, okay.”
Perhaps because what had just happened was too embarrassing for both of them, or because they didn’t know how to start a conversation, they both tacitly avoided discussing the events in the bathroom.
After a brief exchange, an invisible atmosphere of awkwardness filled the small room.
Yet, alongside the awkwardness, a new kind of intimacy that hadn’t existed before was slowly blooming.
They watched Su Xixi, who was full and dry, sleeping soundly in the middle of the bed without a care in the world.
Although Su Qi wasn’t sleepy at all, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep to avoid any further awkwardness with Lin Xue.
However, while Su Qi lay on his side to the left of Su Xixi with his eyes shut, Lin Xue unknowingly walked to the bedside and gently lay down on the right side of the little one.
Thus, both of them kept their eyes closed, appearing to be in a deep sleep, but in reality, they were both wide awake. Neither made a sound.
Time seemed to freeze; every second felt exceptionally long. As time ticked away, the room remained silent, with only the sound of light breathing intertwining in the air.
Tap, tap, tap…
After an unknown amount of time, sneaky footsteps sounded outside Lin Xue’s door.
The footsteps lingered at the door for a long while, as if someone were pressing an ear against it to listen for any movement inside.
After waiting and hearing nothing, the small door was cracked open, and a mischievous little head peeked in.
An Xiaoling had originally planned to launch a “night raid” on Su Qi according to her original plan.
For this purpose, she had intentionally washed a bowl, and considering Su Qi might be on guard if she showed up too early, she had even written some of her novel to pass the time.
She had waited until 11:00 PM, a normal human sleeping hour, before coming to Lin Xue’s room.
However, as the door opened and she met the bright eyes of both Lin Xue and Su Qi, An Xiaoling couldn’t help but freeze.
“Why are neither of you sleeping?”
As she asked this, she noticed the “boundary line” formed by Su Xixi between them.
Sensing the lingering, intimate atmosphere and the way the two refused to look at each other, An Xiaoling felt her world crumbling.
‘So, what on earth happened while I was away?’
‘Did Lin Xue secretly eat Su Qi?’
‘That shouldn’t be possible. I didn’t hear any loud noises while I was washing the bowl. And the room doesn’t have that “spicy” scent that follows a girl’s intimate encounter.’
‘But this atmosphere is definitely wrong!’
‘Ugh… I’m starting to feel like allying with Lin Xue was a mistake!’
While An Xiaoling’s little head was spinning with theories, Su Qi recalled the things the two had plotted in his room earlier.
Looking at An Xiaoling’s current attempt at a night raid, he thought for a moment, turned to Lin Xue, and made a suggestion.
“Senior Sister Lin, could you go sleep in An Xiaoling’s room tonight? It’s a bit crowded with three people.”
Hearing this suggestion, a look of pure innocence appeared on An Xiaoling’s cute, doll-like face.
‘Heh~ how naive.’
Based on her understanding of Lin Xue and her frivolous nature, she was certain Lin Xue would find every possible excuse to reject Su Qi’s suggestion.
“Okay. Goodnight then.”
In the next second, something happened that left An Xiaoling utterly astonished.
Upon hearing Su Qi’s words, Lin Xue actually picked up her blanket and got out of bed without a single word of protest.
Before leaving, she even grabbed An Xiaoling by the scruff of her neck.
Feeling the centrifugal force, An Xiaoling felt her soul leave her body.
‘Seriously… what happened while I was writing my novel?’
‘Why is my ally suddenly so obedient to Su Qi?’
‘This is a betrayal!’
‘A total betrayal!!’
