Her Mortal Enemy on the Screen Made Her Drool

After the weekend break began, Lu Xiaoxiao's phone buzzed all day long.

Someone had posted photos of the cafeteria kiss online. People in her class, her department, and even the neighboring college were asking about it.

Her message list seemed endless, and she couldn't be bothered to reply to each one. Instead, she posted on Moments: It was purely a coincidence. We're not dating. This is my answer to everyone.

After posting, she put her phone face down beside her pillow and prepared to catch up on sleep.

She had barely closed her eyes when her phone buzzed again.

Lu Xiaoxiao picked it up and saw a message from Shao Enci, edged with sarcasm: [Yes, you kissed my lips raw, but we can only be ordinary friends.]

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the screen for a few seconds, then sat up and replied: [Was I the one who kissed them raw? Last time in the cafeteria, you were clearly the one chasing after me for a kiss, and you accidentally bit them.]

Almost as soon as she sent it, Shao Enci replied: [If you hadn't kissed me first, would I have been unable to hold back?]

She held her phone, feeling that if this conversation continued, it would get out of hand.

[My fault. I won't kiss you next time.]

The other end fell silent for a few seconds before Shao Enci finally sent a string of dots: [...]

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't reply again. She put her phone back beside her pillow, lay down, and pulled the blanket over herself.

Her eyelids had barely closed when 037's voice rang out in her head:

[Mission 28: Have a five-minute video call with your mortal enemy while he is showering. Countdown: 59 minutes, 59 seconds.]

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes flew open, all traces of sleepiness gone.

"037, this mission is a little inappropriate for children. Can I refuse?"

[Xiaoxiao, this is just an ordinary video call mission. I'm a respectable system.]

"You mean he can keep his clothes on, and if I video call him, the mission counts as complete?"

[How can it count as a shower if he keeps his clothes on? And you have to maintain a conversation on video for at least five minutes.]

"..." Lu Xiaoxiao was momentarily at a loss for words. She felt the system was deliberately messing with her.

"Once I've completed a hundred missions, I'm definitely reporting you, you shameless system."

[Host detected making statements that slander the system. Penalty: five minutes added to the video call.]

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately lost her nerve, and her tone softened. "...037, I was wrong. Can you cancel the penalty?"

[Too late. Mission 28: Have a ten-minute video call with your mortal enemy while he is showering. Countdown: 53 minutes, 23 seconds.]

Lu Xiaoxiao buried her face in her pillow for a few seconds, then sat up and picked up her phone to message Shao Enci.

[Whatever you do, don't go out right now.]

[I suddenly really want to see a picture of a handsome man bathing. Can you go take a shower now?]

A minute passed before he replied: [You want me to take a shower at nine in the morning? Are you sure?]

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the words, feeling they were ridiculous herself, but she had no other choice.

Shao Enci sent another message, his tone much more restrained than before: [Lu Xiaoxiao, what's gotten into you today?]

She bit her lip and made up an excuse on the spot: [I recently saw a video on Douyin. A male content creator was shirtless in the bathroom, video calling his girlfriend. I want to do that too.]

A few seconds later, Shao Enci sent two messages:

[You have that kind of kink?]

[But I'm not your boyfriend.]

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the words "not your boyfriend" for three seconds, then steeled herself and replied: [If you behave a little better, you won't be far from becoming my boyfriend.]

Shao Enci replied mildly: [I couldn't finish eating all the pies you've painted for me in a year.]

She looked at the message and sniffled, but didn't reply.

Shao Enci sent another message, his attitude noticeably improved: [It's not like I can't shower on video if you want me to, as long as you join me.]

Lu Xiaoxiao's slender fingers trembled, and she almost dropped her phone. "037, he wants me to shower too..."

037 fell silent for two seconds, as if judging whether she was serious.

Then it spoke, its tone a little cautious:

[The system does not require you to appear on camera with him. You only need to watch the video and complete the conversation.]

Lu Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, as if she hadn't expected that answer.

She lowered her head, looked back at the screen, and typed: [Once you actually become my boyfriend, you can look at me however you want.]

The other end was quiet for a while.

Shao Enci replied: [Lu Xiaoxiao, I was joking. You're not nineteen yet. I won't take advantage of you.]

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was mentally twenty-one, fell into deep thought.

By the timeline since her rebirth, Shao Enci wasn't even nineteen yet. She was the one who should feel guilty for taking advantage of him again and again.

She really wanted to give up on the mission. It was a little too suggestive, but she couldn't leave the damn system mission undone.

Lu Xiaoxiao pleaded with 037 in a low voice, "Can you tone down this mission a little? At least let him keep his underwear on."

This time, 037 made a rare concession: [Yes.]

Hearing the system's answer put her at ease, and she sent him a message:

[If you're shy, you can wear underwear during the video call.]

He replied with a single question mark.

A few seconds later, Shao Enci replied: [Either way is fine with me. We'll end up together sooner or later, anyway. My body is yours to admire.]

Lu Xiaoxiao pressed her phone to her chest. Only after the heat in her face had subsided a little did she continue typing: [Hurry up and shower. Stop dawdling.]

After sending it, she suddenly felt her skin was getting thicker and thicker, and her heart was aflutter.

A few minutes later, a video call request popped up on the screen.

Lu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped several beats. Her fingertip trembled as she tapped the green answer button on the screen.

The image on the video made her cheeks burn.

Shao Enci was already standing in the bathroom with the light on. His smooth, fair face had sharply defined angles and a cool, stern look, while his dark, deep eyes held an alluring gleam.

His hair was already wet, and droplets slid from the ends into the hollows of his shoulders. His pale skin glowed faintly under the light, and his waist was taut and strong. Droplets traced his lean, well-defined muscles before disappearing below his sexy V-lines.

Shao Enci stood directly in front of the camera, his phone propped against the edge of the sink at an angle that gave her an unobstructed view of his upper body.

The wild, hormonal aura unique to a young man rushed at her through the screen.

Lu Xiaoxiao stared, dumbstruck, and didn't notice at first that her nosebleed had dripped onto her phone screen.

Shao Enci watched the girl on camera, her face flushed and blood running from her nose. The languor in his eyes vanished instantly. He turned off the showerhead at once and looked at her worriedly. "Lu Xiaoxiao, your nose is bleeding."

Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes to the splatter of blood on the screen, then immediately tilted her head back, her cheeks growing even redder. She hurriedly pulled out several tissues and stuffed them into her nostrils, not forgetting to remind him, "Keep showering. Don't mind me."

A trace of helplessness passed through Shao Enci's dark eyes. "Your nose is bleeding, and you still won't stop?"
