[Detected Host successfully provided Shuxi Bento to a Charmed Girl. Gained 500 Sutai Experience Points]
In the fragrant bedroom of a young woman, Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin had already departed.
Left alone with nothing to do, Su Qi soon turned his attention to the Attributes Panel.
Watching the Ability notifications that had been appearing more and more frequently lately, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit of shame.
‘I feel like since I became a Su Wife, certain aspects of my life have become much more… eventful.’
Amidst this small sigh of emotion, he carefully read through the experience gains.
Seeing that he had increased his total by 12,000 points today alone, Su Qi’s feelings became complicated.
Originally, his Su Wife Ability required 1,000,000 Experience Points to level up again.
Su Qi had thought that was an astronomical amount.
But now, he had unknowingly accumulated 100,000 points. It felt like the next Ability upgrade wasn’t so far out of reach after all.
He rolled around on the bed for a bit.
Although Su Qi was still somewhat exhausted from the recent “exercise” and instinctively didn’t want to leave the warmth of the quilt that carried Elder Sister Wen Yin’s fragrance, he could feel the lingering, ambiguous marks left behind on the fabric.
The introverted Su Qi finally overcame his laziness. With his cheeks flushing slightly red, he climbed out of bed.
Just as he left the mattress and prepared to get dressed, Su Qi froze.
Unlike the feeling of weakness and liberation he had felt after being purified by Ye Fufu the previous night, things were different this time.
After the “close contact” with Elder Sister Wen Yin and Mo Yu, Su Qi felt a surge of energy stored within his body that hadn’t been fully released.
It felt lingering and… insatiable.
‘Wait, that idiom might be a bit inappropriate.’
Specifically, he felt unfulfilled.
Realizing this, Su Qi instinctively tilted his head to look at his lower abdomen.
No matter how he thought about it, this change in his mental state had to be related to that strange mark.
At a glance, Su Qi saw that the purple mark, which had originally been only the size of a pinky finger, now looked as if it had been thoroughly nourished.
The pattern was more vivid than ever.
Seeing this, Su Qi wanted to cry but had no tears. ‘Why does this mark feel more and more like some unspeakable, evil presence designed to target women?’
In his helplessness, he looked at the messy bed that needed washing and caught another whiff of the girl’s lingering scent.
In that moment, a suggestive thought sprouted in Su Qi’s mind.
‘Since I have to wash these sheets anyway, should I indulge myself just a little bit? After all, this place is filled with the scent of Wen Yin, the person I’ve had a crush on since I was a child…’
The moment the thought appeared, Su Qi shook his small head like a rattling drum.
‘What am I thinking? Have I been influenced by that wicked Saintess Ye Fufu? Am I awakening some strange fetish?’
While Su Qi was hurriedly dressing himself and dismissing his scandalous ideas, a phone rang.
Ring— Ring—
The sound of a mobile phone echoed appropriately. He picked up the phone from the bedside table and saw that it was a call from An Xiaoling.
Only then did Su Qi belatedly realize that An Xiaoling, who had gone to school with him this morning, likely had no idea what had happened.
After all, she had been caught by Teacher Yu Qi and forced to write a self-reflection right after she chased him out of the classroom.
Of course, Su Qi wouldn’t say a word about what had just occurred.
A three-person treatment involving such “lewd” methods was far too embarrassing to mention.
After organizing his thoughts and mentally preparing himself, Su Qi finally pressed the answer button.
“Sister Su Su, where are you?”
As the call connected, An Xiaoling’s sweet, adorable Loli voice chirped from the other side.
Hearing her cute voice, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed the Black-hearted Loli hadn’t discovered anything. Or rather, under normal circumstances, no one would ever think in that direction.
He gently patted his Bunny to calm himself down before responding.
“Little Ling, I’m at home. I heard that Elder Sister Wen Yin and Mo Yu were injured, so I came over to check on them. But they’ve already gone to the hospital.”
On the other end of the line, An Xiaoling paused.
Although she didn’t understand why Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin would go to the hospital, the fact remained that Su Qi was currently alone at home—and at a house with no outsiders.
Wasn’t this the perfect alignment of time, place, and people?
At this thought, An Xiaoling’s fair little face lit up with brilliance.
Even the gloominess caused by the ripples of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation from her bracelets earlier dissipated by half.
Fearing that Su Qi might leave the house, An Xiaoling quickly added, “Sister Su Su, you’re at home? That’s wonderful! It just so happens we have no classes this afternoon. I can be your little maid today! Let’s clean the rooms together. Wait for me, I’m coming over right now! 10 minutes—no, I’ll be there in 5 minutes!”
Before Su Qi could refuse, An Xiaoling hung up and immediately started running toward Su Qi’s house.
Listening to the rushed tone and the sound of running through the phone, Su Qi was stunned.
Although he knew An Xiaoling liked him and wanted to be alone with him ever since his Identity was exposed, this seemed a bit over-excited.
Despite feeling that something was off about her excessive enthusiasm, Su Qi looked around.
No one had lived in his house for nearly a month, so it was undoubtedly covered in a thick layer of dust.
Thinking back to how he had promised to grant her strange little requests because he felt guilty for deceiving her, Su Qi ultimately decided not to refuse.
He gathered the sheets and quilts in his arms and used his key to open the door connecting his room to Elder Sister Wen Yin’s bedroom.
Looking at his own room reflected through the new doorway, Su Qi felt it was quite magical.
It gave him the illusion that his house had suddenly grown larger.
Beyond the novelty, Su Qi felt a spark of excitement.
With this door here, even if his Sister woke up and stayed at home every night… with this door, at night, it seemed he could…
After his brief curiosity, he remembered that An Xiaoling would be arriving soon.
Su Qi quickly closed the new door, which was camouflaged as a white wall.
He threw the sheets, quilts, and clothes into the washing machine and began inspecting his home.
Because it had been vacant for so long, a thin layer of dust coated the Su Family home.
While it wasn’t exactly filthy, it made Su Qi—who now possessed the refined nature of a Su Wife—feel uncomfortable.
Just as he put on some oversleeves and prepared to get to work…
Ding-dong—
“Sister Su Su! No, wait—Master! I’m here to help you!”
An Xiaoling’s energetic Loli voice rang out from outside the front door.
Hearing the way she addressed him, Su Qi couldn’t help but shiver.
‘Emmm… the last person who called me Master was Ye Fufu, and she “purified” me. I feel like there’s something wrong with that title!’
While complaining internally, Su Qi walked to the front door.
As he pushed the door open, what met his eyes wasn’t the usual mischievous An Xiaoling, but a set of cute, black-and-white maid clothes.
“Ta-da! Master, how about I wear this while I help you clean?”
Looking at the maid outfit An Xiaoling was holding up like a precious treasure, Su Qi was momentarily stunned.
He wasn’t surprised that she had prepared it—she had mentioned being his maid this morning, and since she had a Storage Ring, it was normal for her to carry an outfit.
What truly surprised Su Qi was that this maid outfit looked strangely familiar.
After a moment of thought, he remembered where he had seen it… wasn’t this the same maid outfit from that Ruri-something-kawa series?
‘An Xiaoling, there’s definitely something wrong with you.’
While Su Qi was lost in surprise, An Xiaoling had already tiptoed into the foyer. She spoke respectfully, like a true little maid.
“Hee-hee, Master, I’m going to the bathroom to change first. Which room should we start cleaning?”
Looking at An Xiaoling’s obedient appearance, Su Qi felt suspicious.
Having read that Lily Novel, he knew exactly how much “yellow trash” was packed inside that girl’s small head.
He had expected that once she changed into the maid outfit, she would try something bizarre or stage some “pink” accidents to tease him.
However, what happened next was beyond his expectations.
“Master, I’ll sweep the floor.”
“Master, does this vase need dusting? Let me do it.”
“Master, where is the vacuum cleaner?”
“Master…”
For nearly 2 hours, An Xiaoling worked diligently as a little maid.
She didn’t cause any trouble at all; instead, she significantly sped up the cleaning process.
After a busy afternoon, Su Qi’s guard against her lowered slightly.
Since cleaning was quite energy-consuming and it was nearing 2:00 PM, Su Qi decided to cook a meal to reward himself and An Xiaoling for her genuine help.
Most of the ingredients in the refrigerator had probably gone bad, but since he had sold Shuxi Bentos last Sunday, he still had some ingredients left in his Space Ring.
There was no need to go out and buy groceries.
Since there were only two of them and neither had a large appetite, Su Qi made two dishes: stir-fried cabbage and tomato fried rice.
As he brought the two dishes to the table, Su Qi was surprised to see that An Xiaoling, who had just been “helping” in the kitchen, had somehow produced two wine goblets.
“Sister Su Su, this drink is brewed from pitayas found in the Saint Ruins. It’s delicious!”
Both glasses contained a pale red liquid that gave off an inviting, sweet aroma.
Seeing these two suspicious glasses of red liquid, alarm bells immediately went off in Su Qi’s head.
He remembered clearly that the last time he drank Coca-Cola from An Xiaoling, his Identity had been exposed.
This time, even though the drink looked tasty, the color practically screamed “trap.”
‘Haha… so this was the Black-hearted Loli’s plan all along?’
‘Unfortunately, I won’t make the same mistake twice.’
He silently took the drink from An Xiaoling and set it aside.
He didn’t take a single sip.
Since he was genuinely hungry from the labor, Su Qi simply lowered his head and began eating the rice heartily.
However, as he ate, Su Qi gradually felt a sense of discord.
‘Something is wrong. Why does the air feel like it’s getting hotter?’
‘Wait… it’s not the air. Am I the one burning up?’
‘What… what’s going on?’
‘It’s An Xiaoling. It has to be her doing.’
As if sensing Su Qi’s gaze, An Xiaoling—who was sitting opposite him with similarly flushed cheeks—let a bright smile bloom on her cute, doll-like face.
“Master, you’ve finished your ‘meal.’ What else would you like to eat now? Perhaps… your little maid?”
