That drop of warm red liquid, with a faint taste of rust, slowly slid down Su Wanli’s cheek, finally dripping onto the white bedsheet, blooming a small patch of faint crimson.
Su Wanli stared blankly at the mark on the bed, then looked up at the brown-haired girl lying on her side, gazing at her with a soft and gentle gaze.
‘Oh, no—I actually got a nosebleed from seeing Meng Wange’s accidentally exposed body…!?’
‘Quick… quickly come up with some excuse, Su Wanli. You are Meng Wange’s destined archrival, the absolute superior who should have her in the palm of your hand! How can you act like an innocent, inexperienced girl over something so trivial!?’
[Warning: Detected that the Host’s current physiological reaction has severely deviated from your Villainess persona. Female Villain Value is rapidly decreasing. Current value: 82…80…76. Debuff activated.]
When it rains, it pours. The System’s alarm began howling wildly in Su Wanli’s mind.
[Debuff Weakening Potion has automatically taken effect. A. Blindness State; B. Anemia State; C. Sensory Amplification State. Please make a timely selection, otherwise the System will automatically choose one for you.]
‘…What Blindness State? How could I suddenly become completely blind in this situation!? Anemia State is even more absurd! Getting anemic from a couple drops of nosebleed? Am I supposed to be some modern Lin Daiyu or something!?’
‘As for that C option… Uh, Sensory Amplification sounds weird, often appearing in some unsavory works, but only this one can be concealed through willpower.’
‘That’s right, I just need to endure this debuff and boost my Female Villain Value in front of Meng Wange…’
“Miss Su? Are you alright?”
Meng Wange’s usual cool voice softly brushed past Su Wanli’s ear like a gentle breeze—under normal circumstances.
However, in Su Wanli’s current ears, that voice seemed to reverberate right beside her, even the slight tremble at the end of her sentence felt like it was gently stroking her earlobe…
Su Wanli quickly covered her nose and retorted loudly at Meng Wange—
“I-I’m fine!”
With that, she abruptly jumped up, frantically pulled a few tissues from the tissue box nearby, and stuffed them into her nostrils, trying to stop the uncooperative warm flow.
“It’s just because the weather is too dry today! Yes, that’s right, it has nothing… nothing to do with you!”
“Is that so? I see, it’s because the weather is too dry…”
Meng Wange glanced sideways at the waves occasionally hitting the shore outside the window, and a faint smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
“It seems you need to properly rehydrate. Wait a moment, I’ll get you a glass of water.”
After speaking, Meng Wange slowly sat up from the bed. The already loose white shirt on her body slid down a little more with the movement, revealing her elegantly curved swan-like neck and the tantalizing hollow area beside it.
‘…Th-there’s no helping it! It’s all the System’s fault for giving me this Sensory Amplification State!’
Su Wanli could now even faintly sense the sound of wind passing through Meng Wange’s shirt, and the subtle rustling of fabric against her skin.
‘Damn it, Meng Wange was just sitting on the edge of the bed, crossing her legs, striking an ordinary pose, yet in my eyes she looks… so languid and alluring.’
“D-don’t move! I’ll do it! I’ll do it myself, understand? Just stay right there, don’t move at all!!”
Su Wanli took a deep breath, then forcibly controlled herself to look away, trying to use words to stop this alluring Main Heroine’s next actions.
“But your lips look very dry.”
A soft, slightly cool knuckle gently alighted on Su Wanli’s shoulder, and with a light yet seemingly irresistible force, turned her body back around.
Before she knew it, Meng Wange had quietly drawn close to Su Wanli’s face.
The distance between them was terrifyingly close… At this moment, under the influence of the Sensory Amplification State, Su Wanli could even see the faint moisture clinging to Meng Wange’s long eyelashes, smell the scent of body wash emanating from her, and the unique, dizzying fragrance that belonged only to her.
“You see.”
With a buzz in her mind, Su Wanli’s thoughts slowly ground to a halt.
Meng Wange’s voice carried a note of pity as she gently touched Su Wanli’s dry lips, slightly parted from tension, with her fingertips.
“They’ve already started to peel a little.”
A faintly cool sensation, like a petal adorned with morning dew, gently fell upon her lips.
Meng Wange’s fingertips were so soft, so smooth.
Not just her lips, Su Wanli felt every inch of her skin was amplified infinitely under this gentle touch.
She could feel the tiny ridges on Meng Wange’s fingertips, the perfect pressure of her touch, and even the equally chaotic heartbeat transmitted from her body.
‘…Ah, damn, maybe I can no longer play the villainess.’
‘Reacting so strongly to her touch, in Meng Wange’s eyes, I must have become an innocent little girl…’
‘If this continues, forget about lasting until the plot ends, I probably won’t even survive tonight and will be sent back by the System directly, right?’
Su Wanli subconsciously wanted to break free from this state that was anything but villainess-like, but her throat felt as if something was gripping it, and she could only produce a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
“…N-no… don’t…”
“Don’t? Don’t what?”
Meng Wange’s voice was like some devil’s whisper, slowly stirring in Su Wanli’s ear.
Her left hand brushed past Su Wanli’s ear, gently pressing against the wall behind her, blocking the faint possibility of escape.
After that, Meng Wange’s right fingertips, which had been stroking Su Wanli’s lips, traced across her cheek, her eyelid, and finally stopped at Su Wanli’s already flushed earlobe—
“Miss Su, since your body is already this unwell, then tonight…”
“Please, obediently stay by my side.”
