Chapter 77 : I'll Do It Myself!
Chapter 77 : I'll Do It Myself!
"How long are you planning to soak there?" The sudden voice by her ear brought Xifeng's consciousness back and gave her quite a fright.
"Come wash your hair, I'll help you." Covering her chest with a towel, Bei Yaoyue found Xifeng's hand underwater and pulled her up.
"No, no, I I I I—I'll wash it myself!" Her cheeks red as if blood might seep out with the slightest touch, having lost the water's barrier, Xifeng hurriedly covered her private parts with her hands. Little did she know that this kind of half-concealment was even more likely to arouse one's desires.
It was then that Xifeng accidentally saw almost all of Bei Yaoyue's front view, causing her breathing to momentarily stop and her mouth to go dry.
So beautiful...
She thought this, even forgetting to be shy.
"Your hair goes all the way down to your butt—how long would it take you to wash it alone?" Bei Yaoyue pulled her up without argument, pressing her down onto the shower stool, "Sit properly."
Saying this, Bei Yaoyue picked up the shower head to thoroughly wet her hair, then squeezed out some shampoo and began washing earnestly.
The red had spread from her face to the base of her neck. Xifeng sat there stiffly, not even knowing where to put her hands. Fortunately, the mirror in front had been completely covered by a layer of steam, losing its reflective function—otherwise she probably would have fled in embarrassment.
Recalling the scenery she had just seen, Xifeng couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Was Bei Yaoyue naturally bare?
Xifeng sat there motionless like a puppet, letting Bei Yaoyue do whatever she wanted with her hair.
This waist-length hair was indeed difficult to manage. Even with Bei Yaoyue helping her, it didn't seem like something that could be finished quickly. When she washed it alone, it was even more troublesome.
"Bei Yaoyue." After thinking for a moment, Xifeng spoke up.
"Mm?" Bei Yaoyue responded with a questioning sound, carefully rinsing every corner of her hair with the shower head, as attentive as if caring for her own hair.
"What length do you think looks best for hair?"
Honestly, Xifeng had long wanted to cut this long hair short. For someone who had only ever had a short side-part before, this waist-length hair was really too long—so long that she often lacked the patience to maintain it.
But she could never make up her mind. Every time she wanted to cut it, she would feel it was a pity. After all, such long hair took a very long time to grow, and if she cut it and regretted it later, that would truly be cause for remorse.
After brief consideration, Bei Yaoyue answered: "They all look good."
"......That's the same as not saying anything." Xifeng sighed helplessly. It seemed this hair would have to stay for a while longer.
"By the way..." Suddenly remembering something important, Xifeng's voice rose several degrees, her mood complex as she asked: "Why do you have my system?"
When she had first woken up, she had been so overwhelmed by joy that she forgot to ask this very serious question. This was definitely not some trivial matter that could be brushed aside, but a major life issue related to her safety!
After brief consideration, Bei Yaoyue decided to lie. She used a quite innocent voice to say: "I don't know what happened either. It just suddenly appeared on my phone. I was really startled at the time and thought my phone had gotten a virus."
"I see..."
Xifeng didn't doubt Bei Yaoyue's explanation at all, since Bei Yaoyue had provided a seemingly perfectly reasonable explanation for something she couldn't figure out.
After all, it was a training system—having an automatic backup function for the master didn't seem hard to understand.
She sighed lightly, asking somewhat dejectedly: "So... you knew about all those tasks?"
"Yes." Bei Yaoyue nodded pretentiously, though she felt quite regretful inside. If only she really had known.
If she had gotten the system early, she probably would have been ten times more proactive about the tasks than Xifeng.
"When did you get it?" Xifeng asked again.
"About..." Her brain spinning rapidly, Bei Yaoyue gave an answer that was essentially meaningless: "Around the same time as you, I think."
"......So that was the day my system bound with you?" Xifeng sighed mournfully. So from the very beginning, she had been under Bei Yaoyue's control—this made her quite displeased.
"Mm, yes, that day." Seeing Xifeng reveal important information herself, Bei Yaoyue almost laughed out loud. What a perfect case of confessing without interrogation.
Maybe this was fate?
Thinking this way, Xifeng secretly shook her head, only able to convince herself to accept this painful reality.
Having finished rinsing the hair, Bei Yaoyue picked up body wash from nearby and poured it into her hands. Without any advance warning, she applied it to Xifeng's back.
"Ah!" The cool liquid made Xifeng cry out in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"Helping you apply body wash." Bei Yaoyue spread the body wash evenly across Xifeng's body, as careful and thorough as if polishing some precious antique, "Sit still and don't move."
The overly intimate skin contact made Xifeng restless, enduring Bei Yaoyue's hands working mischief on her back like she was being tortured. She could even clearly feel the sensation of Bei Yaoyue's fingers and palms sliding across her back, as if Bei Yaoyue's fingers carried waves of tingling electricity.
Having used up the body wash on her hands, Bei Yaoyue poured out a little more, starting from Xifeng's shoulders and moving to her arms, then her forearms, wrists...
Until those hands were no longer well-behaved, spreading out from both sides of her back, passing under her arms and advancing toward the front.
Just as Bei Yaoyue's hands were about to touch places they absolutely shouldn't touch, Xifeng slapped away that wandering hand and cried out: "I'll do this part myself!"
Saying this, she covered her unremarkable chest and turned to glare angrily at Bei Yaoyue, who looked somewhat disappointed that her scheme hadn't succeeded, then picked up the body wash from nearby.
"Then you wash yourself. I'm going to soak for a while."
Hearing the person behind her enter the water, Xifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat indignant. Why was this person always thinking about her body?
This question had always puzzled her. She thought, Bei Yaoyue was a girl too—she naturally had everything that Xifeng had. So why did Bei Yaoyue covet her body?
Using the shower head to rinse off the creamy body wash, revealing the even smoother skin underneath, Xifeng didn't dare turn around. She just perfunctorily dried her body, wrapped herself in a towel, and said without looking back: "I'm done washing. I'm going out first."
Saying this, she fled like a defeated French soldier under Bei Yaoyue's smiling gaze.
