Xia Yanchun tilted her little head back, her soft hair pressing against Shen Nian's neck as she nuzzled against him.
It tickled Shen Nian, putting him in a wonderful mood.
After gurgling and brushing her teeth, Xia Yanchun squeezed out some facial cleanser. She coated her entire face, rubbing and massaging for a full minute before rinsing it off.
"Chunbao..." Shen Nian, not minding her wet face, lowered his head and gave her a quick peck.
"Ah, I just washed it clean."
Xia Yanchun wiped the spot Shen Nian had just kissed, looking utterly disgusted.
Shen Nian's hands rested naturally, crossed just in front of the girl's lower abdomen. This half-embrace made him feel exceptionally satisfied and content.
"Chunbao, you look really pretty today."
"What the heck? Was I not pretty before?"
"You were, but you're even prettier today."
Xia Yanchun didn't believe him for a second. Shen Nian was definitely just getting dirty thoughts seeing her in this outfit.
Sure enough, it's hard to resist wearing new clothes once you buy them...
"Chunbao, go back to the room first."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to look for my Concubine Choc."
Shen Nian grinned, running off to rummage through the fridge for a Chocliz ice cream.
Xia Yanchun gave him a deadpan stare, then rolled her eyes and went into the bedroom with a giggle. Leaning against the doorframe, she chattered, "My clothes aren't done washing yet. Help me hang them out to dry later."
"Okay."
Xia Yanchun closed the door with a click. Her own room was still the most comfortable.
This was the first time since she graduated from elementary school that she had asked Shen Nian to help hang her clothes.
Her parents had to work, so back when she was at home, she would occasionally be asked to help hang up the clothes left in the washing machine. Her favorite thing to do was run to the third-floor balcony and call Shen Nian over to help.
Being the smart girl she was, she wouldn't say she was calling him over to do chores. She would tell him she had a bag of potato chips they could share, tricking him into coming over before making him help her hang the laundry.
Only after the clothes were hung up would she share a little bit of the snacks with him.
Sometimes, when there was nothing to eat at home, she would give Shen Nian two bucks to run an errand for her, letting him keep fifty cents.
So wicked, so wicked.
Now, she could still boss Shen Nian around to hang her clothes. Thinking about this, two little bubbles popped up in Xia Yanchun's heart, floating high into the sky before bursting with a pop, scattering colorful little droplets. She felt so, so lucky.
Shen Nian suspected that there was something mixed into the chocolate shell of the Chocliz; otherwise, how could it be so addictive?
Oh, right, it was mixed with chocolate.
Unable to resist eating two of them, Shen Nian finally went into the bathroom to take the clothes out of the washing machine. He quickly hung them up for her, smoothing out every corner and edge, being even more meticulous than when hanging his own clothes.
He also brought in the already dried clothes, going into Xia Yanchun's room to help hang them in her closet.
Xia Yanchun's gaze sized Shen Nian up.
"Why are you looking at me? I didn't hide anything." Shen Nian pulled at his trouser pockets to show they were empty.
"I was just looking at you. I didn't say you stole my clothes..." Xia Yanchun shuddered. Was this a guilty conscience giving itself away?
"That's good. I thought you were going to falsely accuse me."
"Am I that kind of person? You're just talking nonsense."
"Hehe, my Chunbao is just the kind of person who shifts the blame, tricks others into coming over to do her chores, and makes them run errands. Of course she isn't the kind of little fairy who would casually frame someone."
"Get lost." Xia Yanchun kicked Shen Nian's butt.
That stinky Shen Nian only knew how to bring up old history. He was asking for a beating.
Because she was wearing a nightgown, Xia Yanchun kept her movements small, being careful not to let the hem of her nightgown flip up when she kicked.
Under the white light, Xia Yanchun's skin looked even paler. Shen Nian's Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously, his gaze shifting back and forth between her face and her legs.
This time, it finally wasn't just her calves. The nightgown was short, so no matter how much Xia Yanchun tried to cover up, what could be seen would still be seen.
Xia Yanchun didn't seem to care too much either; she just kept her legs together and pressed down the hem. As for the parts left exposed, Shen Nian felt that Husky Chun was already indulging him.
What more was there to say?
Shen Nian, who had originally intended to lie down at the speed of light, touch her legs, and go right to sleep, had just kicked off his slippers when Xia Yanchun's youthful voice floated faintly into his ear.
"Want to see?"
Xia Yanchun narrowed her eyes, legs pressed together, gripping the hem of her clothes. For a moment, Shen Nian thought he had misheard.
Shen Nian blinked.
"I can lift it and let you see..." Xia Yanchun pursed her lips. The embarrassment of saying such a thing made her ears, face, and even her neck blush slightly red.
"I bet you're wearing safety shorts."
"?"
Xia Yanchun suddenly lost all her shyness. She generously lifted her skirt to show Shen Nian. Beneath the pure white lace, there was indeed a pair of dark gray boyshorts clinging to her pale skin.
"Ta-da! Take a look. Today is Chunbao's limited-time fan service!"
"I knew it."
Shen Nian smiled in relief.
Knowing Husky Chun, she wouldn't even let him look at her legs normally. How could she suddenly be so open? When things are abnormal, there must be a catch.
His childhood rival had eight hundred hidden agendas.
Fortunately, he was one step ahead.
"You actually didn't let lust cloud your judgment. I'm impressed."
"Who are you looking down on? I've had a super cute beautiful girl by my side for so many years, and I managed to hold out for eighteen years without falling for her. How could a little trick like this trap me?"
"What's with the sweet talk?" Xia Yanchun's prank had failed, but she was delighted by Shen Nian's flattering words. She wrapped herself around him, resting all her weight on him like a sloth, and whispered in his ear, "So you admit that I was cute back then too?"
"You've always been pretty cute."
"You used to call me ugly. Turns out you were just a tsundere."
"Damn it, don't talk nonsense, or I'll smack you." Shen Nian dropped his smile, deciding never to praise Husky Chun for being cute again.
To be precise, he wouldn't praise the past Xia Yanchun. The present and future ones definitely deserved praise.
After all, she was genuinely cute.
Raising a hand to turn off the light, Shen Nian lay down under the summer quilt. His hands groped around toward Xia Yanchun like a hunter. When he pulled his hands back, he had already hooked one of her legs over, resting it on his thigh. He just had to touch it, even at the risk of having his lower half go numb from her weight.
Xia Yanchun lay on her side, treating Shen Nian as a sweet-smelling body pillow. She felt so comfortable that she grew a bit drowsy, unable to resist gently nibbling on his collarbone.
Before she could enjoy the comfort for long, Shen Nian suddenly moved. He flipped her flat onto her back. The one hugging the pillow had suddenly become the pillow.
"..." Shen Nian's breathing was very light.
The slip-style nightgown only covered from the collarbone down. Shen Nian felt a tickle in his heart; imitating what Xia Yanchun had just done, he released his own affection.
Xia Yanchun bit her lower lip, shrinking her neck back as she gently pushed him away. "What are you doing..."
"Copying you."
"You're not allowed to copy me!"
"Hehe, Chunbao, you rascal."
Shen Nian was thoroughly satisfied. Savoring his childhood rival's shyness right before bed was truly a delightful feeling.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
