The sky darkened as summer gave way to a heavy downpour.
Wind and rain battered the world, accompanied by flashes of lightning and booming thunder.
“Auntie, the bathroom’s free. Do you want to go take a shower first? There’s a bathtub too.”
“Okay.”
“Do you want to wear some of my spare clothes afterward?”
“No need. Your size doesn’t fit me. I’ll wear mine one more day, then go buy some new ones tomorrow.”
The most painful words often come from those closest to you.
After hearing this, Luo Zining’s face darkened.
She silently vowed that once she fused with the divine particles, she would use her figure to mercilessly shame those who had mocked her with thin veils of sheer fabric!
“Alright, I’ll go wash first.”
After Ji Yue entered the bathroom, she stripped and pulled back the shower curtain—only to see ‘herself’ standing on the other side.
For a moment, she was lost in thought.
Why was there such a huge mirror inside a shower stall?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to put it at the sink?
No, the sink probably couldn’t accommodate it.
The mirror was large enough to reflect the entire body, revealing every detail clearly.
Putting such a big mirror inside the shower stall just didn’t feel right.
“Could this be a one-way mirror?” Ji Yue muttered.
But that seemed unlikely.
Who would install such a thing in their own home?
Besides, Ji Yue was roughly familiar with Luo You’s house layout, and there was no space behind the mirror.
Soon, the sound of water splashing echoed inside.
Only two minutes had passed when Luo Zining suddenly received a call from Zhao Xin.
“Eh? Lord Xingyue wants to see me?!”
“Yeah, aren’t you about to fuse with the divine particles? This time, it’s a test for you. Do your best. Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of the Ten Seats by next year.”
Zhao Xin sounded genuinely pleased, as if her own efforts were finally paying off.
“Okay! I’ll head over now!”
Luo Zining, however, was nervous and instinctively wanted Ji Yue to accompany her.
No, this was a time to prove herself.
Would Lord Xingyue think she was irresponsible if she brought an elder along?
Better to go alone this time.
***
“Auntie! I’m heading out!”
“Alright, I’ll sleep after my shower. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Luo Zining hurriedly left.
Click—
The sound of the front door closing echoed, and a narrow crack appeared at the door of a certain mischievous little girl’s room.
Her dazzling, bright eyes peeked outside.
When the older sister was showering, it was the perfect time for some ill-intentioned players to make their move.
“Heh? So thoughtful… Sleepyhead brings pillows, and I haven’t even started and she’s already giving Dad opportunities herself. Such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.”
Luo You shook her head, regretting her careful arrangement.
To lure Luo Zining out while Ji Yue showered, she had specially called in two muscle-bound guys from the gym’s third floor to stage an overt display of affection outside. Now, it seemed the plan was useless.
Luo You made a call. “Hey, A Jie, A Bin, you can leave now. No need to act anymore.”
“Oh, got it, sis-in-law! We’ll wait for Luoge to come back and let us know.”
Go to hell. Never coming back again, Luo You cursed silently.
***
Hanging up, Luo You grabbed a change of clothes from her room, then pretended not to know someone was in the bathroom.
In one second, she stripped off her clothes, then opened the door and walked in with the change of clothes in hand.
“Ah.”
“Uh…”
The awkward little girl and the voluptuous older sister locked eyes.
An awkward silence settled.
Ji Yue, who was washing her hair, was stunned.
She had assumed it was Luo Zining coming in but hadn’t expected it to be…
But Luo You’s body was truly provocative.
Not extremely tall, but radiating an intoxicating innocence that stirred desire far more than many well-endowed women.
And it was a charm that entranced both men and women.
Wait, what am I thinking?!
Ji Yue blinked sharply and accidentally kicked over a shampoo bottle, breaking the silence.
At this moment, Luo You panicked, waving her hands anxiously.
“Ah! I didn’t know someone was in here! I’ll leave right now!”
“Wait—”
Ji Yue instinctively called out to her.
“Uh?”
“If you don’t mind, just stay in and wash together. You’ve already taken off your clothes; it’s more hassle to put them back on again…”
Ji Yue immediately regretted her words.
She had no idea why she said that.
Maybe she wanted to make up for her earlier rudeness.
“Ha… then I’ll…”
Luo You hesitantly stepped into the shower stall, turned on the showerhead, and began washing with her back to Ji Yue.
Such a beautiful back… the lines were perfect, Ji Yue thought, secretly admiring.
***
By logic, Luo You’s height suggested a smaller frame—not fully developed, where stretching the body would reveal bones, making her hard and bony to hold.
But in reality, it was the opposite.
Seeing her undressed, Luo You gave off a soft, slightly fleshy impression.
If held, she would be soft, tender, and supple, with hands sinking into her flesh.
And that waist—oh, just one glance and you could imagine all sorts of incredible curves she could bend into.
Her shower movements were elegant and smooth, like a noble lady.
It was like watching a private art performance, rare enough to be worth millions—but here it was, right before her eyes.
No, what’s wrong with me?
Ji Yue’s dazed eyes suddenly filled with horror.
This little enchantress was so seductive just showing her back—what would happen if she turned around?
Better finish quickly and leave.
No need for a bath.
Ji Yue hastened her washing.
“Ugh.”
She accidentally rubbed shampoo foam into her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Luo You’s concerned voice sounded.
If Ji Yue could open her eyes, she’d see Luo You’s teasing grin.
“N-nothing. Could you spray some water on my eyes? The shampoo got in.”
“No problem.”
In the pitch black behind closed eyelids, Ji Yue tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle, receiving a warm stream of water.
It felt… a bit strange.
After rinsing the foam out, she was about to quickly leave this den of temptation when she stepped on a bar of soap.
Slippery—
Her body pitched forward, airborne.
Soap?!
Did I even bring this here?
No time to think.
She had been on the front lines so long that instinct kicked in.
She calmly adjusted her posture.
If all went well, in half a second she would use her arms to absorb the impact and land smoothly.
***
But fate had other plans.
“Careful!”
Luo You seemed to have been waiting for this moment.
She dashed forward, also stepping on the soap, her foot slipping.
She pitched forward and crashed into the adjusted Ji Yue.
Thud—
Ji Yue felt her breath freeze instantly.
This irresistibly alluring little girl was trapped beneath her, hands raised over her head, looking pitiful and gasping for air.
Looking at the mirror on the wall, Ji Yue saw their full positions clearly.
At this moment, she looked like a crazed woman pressing Luo You down, attempting to suffocate her with her chest!
“Are you okay?!”
Ji Yue hurriedly helped her up.
She was fine after falling, using Luo You as a cushion, but Luo You had taken the weight of both of them.
“Ugh… it hurts…”
Luo You struggled to stand, “It’s okay. My butt hit the ground first.”
“That still must hurt a lot, right?”
“Mm hm…”
Lying! Luo You smirked inwardly.
Believe it or not, the soft flesh of her butt had completely absorbed the shock!
And it didn’t hurt at all.
The attacks from Xingyue were much fiercer.
If those hurt, how could she endure Xingyue’s tempest-like onslaughts?
Still, Luo You put on an exaggerated but genuine-looking painful expression, clutching her waist.
“Ji Yue, are you okay?”
“Uh, yeah.”
Ji Yue’s expression shifted awkwardly.
She quickly added, “Since you’re fine, I’ll head out—”
“Ow… my butt still hurts, and my hand too…”
Luo You’s over-the-top but totally sincere acting left Ji Yue unsure what to think.
So she sighed and asked, “Mind if I help you wash?”
She thought it would be difficult to say, but the words came easily.
Maybe she secretly hoped for this.
“Then please.”
Luo You slowly turned around, speaking with a teasing yet neutral tone.
“That last bit was a little intense. Just help me scrub my back.”
Ji Yue couldn’t shake the uncomfortable feeling.
What did she mean by ‘intense’?
Saying it like she was a man.
They were both women—what was there to care about front or back?
Scrub! I’ll wash your whole body for you!
“Listen to me. I’ll wash you. Don’t worry about it.”
Ji Yue’s face turned cold as she started washing Luo You’s back.
Ha! Auntie is so easy to handle!
Luo You laughed silently behind Ji Yue’s back.
She knew her judgment of people was never wrong.
This kind of dominant woman, under certain circumstances, could be easily baited with a little provocation.
Here comes the opportunity!
Big sister, big sister.
Once we build some feelings and you betray your loyalty to Erela, I’ll coldly neglect you.
Then, when you can’t pull yourself away from me, I’ll reveal myself as Erela and pull you back hard.
After I train you well and expose my identity, I wonder what your expression will be~
While washing Luo You’s back, Ji Yue suddenly shivered.
Strange.
What was wrong?
Just then, Luo You spoke.
“Ji Yue, can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“When you said back at the hot spring—”
“Don’t bring that up. It was a misunderstanding. Sorry.”
Ji Yue covered her head, preferring to forget that memory.
***
Luo You was a little dissatisfied.
“I’m not talking about that. I mean when you looked for that female pervert.”
“Huh? What about it?”
“You said you were attacked by that female pervert, right?”
“Yeah? Why?”
“You were tied up, severely abused, and your body defiled. When your eyes went blank, she left a little souvenir and walked away, right?”
“Why so detailed?”
Although Luo You’s description differed slightly from reality, the main points were accurate.
The image was vivid, as if it were happening right before her eyes.
“Why do you ask?”
“I just want to know why you suspect I am that female pervert.”
“So, like I said, it was a misunderstanding. I already apologized—”
“I’m not asking for an apology. I just want to know what similarities I have with that female pervert. I’m just curious.”
Luo You looked at her with sincere, big eyes.
“Oh… I see…”
Ji Yue was speechless.
She averted her gaze and whispered, “It’s the temperament. Is that enough?”
“Not enough! What kind of temperament?”
“It’s… an insistent… tempera—”
Ji Yue closed her eyes and, not beating around the bush, said plainly,
“It’s a very ‘provocative’ temperament. Got it?”
“Got it.”
