Having successfully won over Lin Xue’er and unraveled her emotional barriers, it was clear that the first conquest was completely secured.
So… after enjoying the last day of the first Weekend, a new day, a new week, and a new conquest target would begin on this sunny… err, rather gloomy Monday Morning.
“Wow…! It’s been a long time since I woke up feeling this energetic. Looks like I’ve finally gotten rid of this Body Weakness!”
After getting out of Lin Xue’er’s bed, Xia Mengxi stretched lazily, the sensation of having a normal, healthy body bringing her endless joy.
There was just one odd thing: she still felt a bit frail, nothing like her pre-reset state.
“Could it be that the Body Weakness debuff leaves some aftereffects? Well, even if it does, it doesn’t matter. I’m already way better than when I had Body Weakness.”
Losing the Body Weakness was definitely something to celebrate, but Xia Mengxi still needed to confirm a few things.
For example, when she was forced to accept this condition a week ago through a multiple-choice decision, her background setting changed accordingly. Under this change, many effects emerged. So… now that her Body Weakness is gone, what about those effects?
The first thing Xia Mengxi wanted to verify was the impact on external matters. By confirming this, she could understand if what happened before and other people’s perceptions had changed.
So, she went to her desk, opened her Handbag that contained her study materials, then rifled through it to take out a piece of paper—this was the Special Certificate given to her a few days ago by the third conquest target, Jiang Wan’ning.
“The content is exactly the same. Looks like the disappearance of Body Weakness doesn’t affect this aspect at all.”
Though she had a rough idea, cautious Xia Mengxi wanted to double-check. Just then, the door opened, and Lin Xue’er, dressed in her School Uniform with an apron over it, came into view.
“Huh? Xiao Xi, you’re awake.”
“Mm, good morning, Xue’er.”
After exchanging greetings, Lin Xue’er came closer and said, “I’ll help you change your clothes first, then you can wash up.”
“Um… no need, Xue’er. I feel fine.”
Xia Mengxi had initially agreed out of habit, but suddenly thought this was a good chance to test, so she playfully resisted Lin Xue’er.
Lin Xue’er just smiled and kept helping her change clothes without stopping.
“Hey… Xue’er, what does that smile mean? I’m not joking around!”
Faced with Xia Mengxi’s pouty expression, Lin Xue’er’s smile deepened.
“Then who was it that you kissed and passed out the day before yesterday?”
“Huh? X-Xue’er! That’s too much!”
She had only wanted to act a bit to get some words out of Lin Xue’er, but unexpectedly, Lin Xue’er brought up what happened last Saturday.
Feeling a little vulnerable, she acted out her emotions sincerely.
“Hehe, I was wrong, Xiao Xi, but…”
Lin Xue’er paused and looked at Xia Mengxi seriously.
“I know you’ve been weak and sickly since childhood, but I didn’t expect that even kissing would affect you.”
“Uh…”
What did Lin Xue’er mean by this?
“Xiao Xi, if you faint from intense kissing, then… what about making love?”
“Pfft!”
Xia Mengxi was so shocked by Lin Xue’er’s bluntness that she was momentarily speechless. Even more concerning was how seriously Lin Xue’er took this.
Could it be that Lin Xue’er herself was very passionate about these things? Otherwise, why would she be so concerned about intimate matters?
“Xiao Xi, I actually thought seriously about this yesterday, and there’s only one solution: we need to take you to the Hospital for treatment.”
“Huh… Hospital?!”
“Mm, don’t worry, Xiao Xi, you don’t have to worry about money at all, because I’m not short on it.”
Wow, Lin Xue’er truly lived up to being a wealthy young lady—this statement would defeat 99.9% of their peers.
But Xia Mengxi wasn’t happy at all. After confirming that losing her Body Weakness didn’t affect anything, being taken to the Hospital now and tested to be like a normal person would cause a huge problem.
To dispel Lin Xue’er’s idea, Xia Mengxi quickly said, “Xue’er… can we not go to the Hospital? You know I’ve been weak and sickly since I was little, so I have a fear of Hospitals.”
“But… if we don’t go to the Hospital, then we can’t make love in the future…”
Lin Xue’er looked a bit pitiful as she explained why she was so obsessed with being intimate with Xia Mengxi.
“I understand. Affection between lovers is just like seasoning. But Xiao Xi, you know I have this uncontrollable obsession with what I like. If I can’t have it completely, I… I feel bad inside, insecure, and often anxious, so…”
Alright, Xia Mengxi understood why Lin Xue’er sometimes lost control over intimate matters—her possessiveness over feelings was the culprit. Just having her ‘heart’ wasn’t enough; she wanted her ‘body’ too.
Looking at it this way, Lin Xue’er probably inherited some obsessive traits from one of her parents.
“Xue’er… can you give me some time to think about the Hospital thing?”
“…Mm, I understand.”
Going to the Hospital was definitely off the table, so she would stall for time. During that time, she’d let Lin Xue’er believe her body was recovering normally, then find an excuse about buying some Nutrition Supplements, and continue to delay until her body actually healed.
For now, this was the best plan. Suddenly getting better would only raise suspicion.
“Hey, Xue’er, even though we can’t do anything too intense, you can still kiss me. That way, it should help ease your worries a bit, right?”
Saying this, Xia Mengxi shyly gave Lin Xue’er a quick kiss, and Lin Xue’er’s previously downcast expression clearly brightened.
“Like the kiss we had the day before yesterday afternoon?”
“W-Well, it’s not impossible, but! You have to keep it within limits, okay? You promised me that day.”
“Okay! No problem!”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Xue’er eagerly leaned in for a kiss. Realizing this, Xia Mengxi quickly put her hands on Lin Xue’er’s shoulders to hold her back.
“Wait a minute, Xue’er! I haven’t even washed up yet!”
“It’s fine, Xiao Xi, come on.”
“I care about that!”
Xia Mengxi glared at Lin Xue’er, who paused and finally let go.
“Honestly, I understand how you feel, Xue’er, but please try your best to control yourself.”
“Sorry, Xiao Xi…”
“All right, I’m going to wash up first. The kissing and all… we’ll talk about that later.”
