Chapter 34 : Surprise Attack
Chapter 34 : Surprise Attack
The first day of school passed quickly in Xifeng's anxiety, plain and boring, not much different from her previous high school life.
Of course, there were still differences. In this face-focused world, she undoubtedly received more attention and approaches than before, but that was about it.
Throughout the entire day, she had been anticipating Bei Yaoyue's move, but Bei Yaoyue remained completely still, as if she knew nothing about it, which made Xifeng inevitably feel panicked.
The task clearly stated that Bei Yaoyue needed to "actively" kiss her. In other words, even if she threw herself at her with her life, there was no way to complete the task. She only had the one path of tricking Bei Yaoyue, which showed just how despicable this system was.
"What are you always playing on your phone?"
Seeing that even when opening the door, Bei Yaoyue was looking down at her phone, Xifeng couldn't help but ask the question she had always wanted to ask.
"Browsing Pixiv and Zhihu." Bei Yaoyue answered very simply.
"Oh, Zhihu."
Xifeng had also used Zhihu for a period of time. She remembered it was a platform where you could share the stories you just made up with the whole world.
The big brothers on Zhihu were all talented and spoke so nicely. She also loved browsing there. Spending an entire day browsing Zhihu was perfectly normal.
"By the way, there's a monthly exam this week." Bei Yaoyue opened the door and stepped in first. "How are your studies?"
"So-so." Understanding the principle of not speaking too confidently, Xifeng chose a conservative answer, but actually she was quite confident about her academic performance.
However, she soon seriously considered whether using calculus to solve high school math problems would actually earn her points.
"If you need it, I can tutor you for review."
"Thank you for the kind offer, but I think it shouldn't be necessary......" Xifeng smiled awkwardly. Having a high school student tutor her, a college graduate, sounded weird no matter how you thought about it.
Following behind and closing the door, Xifeng turned to look at Bei Yaoyue: "What do you want to eat tonight......"
But before she could see the scene in front of her clearly, a slightly flushed face at close range blocked her vision.
"Mmph!!!"
Her body suddenly stiffened, and she widened her eyes, almost unable to believe the scene before her.
Soft petals forcefully kissed her lips, and two slender but powerful arms tightly encircled her body, leaving her nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.
The sensation on her lips was like a piece of warm, soft jade, carrying an intoxicating fragrance mixed with the fresh scent of gardenias, instantly plunging Xifeng's consciousness into a rosy whirlpool.
Everything came too suddenly, like a sudden downpour in early summer that caught her completely off guard. Her brain went blank in an instant, and a dreamlike sense of unreality arose, as if everything in the world was just flowers in a mirror, the moon in water, leaving only that crimson fall that was far away in the sky yet close before her eyes.
"Mmph!......Mmph!!!!"
She even lost the ability to think, only able to barely follow her body's self-protective instincts, making symbolic, half-hearted resistance that seemed to refuse yet welcome.
Little did she know, this kind of weak resistance was most capable of arousing a person's desire to conquer and possess.
As her consciousness sank into the quagmire, her stiff body gradually softened, falling limply into Bei Yaoyue's embrace like a puppet with cut strings.
She didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps ten seconds, perhaps a minute, or perhaps ten minutes... Xifeng only knew that when she was nearly about to lose consciousness from lack of oxygen, Bei Yaoyue finally released her.
"Hah......hah......hah......"
Her chaotic consciousness made it difficult for Xifeng to support her own body, and she slowly slid down along the sofa to the floor.
She leaned against the sofa, breathing heavily, greedily absorbing large amounts of air carrying the scent of orange blossoms.
After recovering somewhat, Xifeng discovered the culprit had already fled the scene in guilt, nowhere to be found. She looked toward Bei Yaoyue's room, but only saw the tightly closed door.
"Damn it Bei Yaoyue, are you crazy......" Struggling to support her body that was very weak from lack of oxygen, Xifeng gritted her teeth and breathed irregularly. "That was my first kiss!!!"
It turned out Bei Yaoyue hadn't been unaffected by her manipulation, but had calculated to wait until they got home before making her move, perhaps because this way no one would interfere with them.
Now, she had "gotten her wish" and been forcibly kissed by Bei Yaoyue, but... this was completely different from what she had imagined!
In her conception, Bei Yaoyue should have just done something like what she had done today, a brief touch on the cheek.
Bei Yaoyue's bottom line seemed even lower than she had imagined. The situation had far exceeded her control, and her first kiss had been ruthlessly taken by Bei Yaoyue.
This operation was truly explosive in its failure, a total loss.
But thinking back carefully, Xifeng was horrified to discover that perhaps because Bei Yaoyue was a beautiful girl, when being forcibly kissed, she didn't seem to resist at all, and even... had a vague feeling of anticipation?
Even now, she hadn't developed any of the expected revulsion or disgust, at most just some indignation from being treated excessively.
"Hah......haha......"
Xifeng laughed dryly twice. What a joke, she must have had her brain go haywire to think like that.
After submitting the task, Xifeng received the task reward—an Epic Draw Ticket.
"This is a draw ticket I obtained at great cost. Don't give me any more weird stuff like 'Pink Flower Tea.'"
Praying silently in her heart, Xifeng pressed the draw button with a grateful heart.
A purple light flashed, and an epic-grade item was freshly produced.
"[Sacred Khala]
Grade: Epic
Description: A strange item from the distant Protoss race, also known as 'F2'.
Effect: Consumable, select target to use. After use, both parties will share all sensations, effect lasts two hours."
"......"
At that moment, Xifeng really had a strong urge to throw her phone on the ground, spit on it, and stomp on it several times.
Epic-grade item?
This? This???
What the hell use was this?
Never mind not giving her superpowers like predicting the future or invisibility—even if she had drawn a pack of spicy gluten, she would have accepted it.
A pack of spicy gluten might not be good for the body, but at least it could satisfy her taste buds. The two items she had drawn so far were truly completely useless.
Being able to produce two items with no discernible use, this system was quite skilled.
Shaking her head secretly, Xifeng was about to close the system when suddenly a red dot on [Affection] caught her attention.
The red dot meant this item had new changes. Xifeng curiously clicked on it.
"[Affection]:
Affection Level: 41
Xifeng now regards Bei Yaoyue as a close friend."
