Tricking Tang San, Xiao Wu Warms the Bed

"Fine, you can be the boss for two days. Once you've recovered, we'll fight again! Rest by the side for now—I'll make the beds."

Seeing the exhaustion on Xiao Chen's face, Sister Xiao Wu could only let it go.

There would be plenty of time in the future. They would have chances to fight sooner or later.

"Right."

As though he had suddenly remembered something, a subtle gleam flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes.

He then leaned slightly closer to Tang San beside him and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Tang San, why were you angry just now?"

"You!"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tang San immediately flew into a rage and opened his mouth to shout.

This bastard had shaved his handsome hairstyle into a horseshoe baldness cut, and he still had the nerve to ask why?

Was he even human?

If Sister Xiao Wu hadn't been here, Tang San would have killed him!

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be. I'll tell you a secret about Sister Xiao Wu. Once you hear it, you'll understand what I mean."

"Go on."

Tang San, who had been about to lose his temper, immediately perked up.

As long as it involved Xiao Wu, he was interested.

"I'm only telling you this, so you absolutely can't tell anyone else. Sister Xiao Wu once said..."

"So, she thinks the horseshoe baldness hairstyle is very special. It's different from other hairstyles, and it's really cool."

"If my family hadn't forbidden it, I would've shaved mine like that long ago."

Tang San did not immediately believe him. Instead, he fell into thought.

When he had been organizing his things earlier, Xiao Wu seemed to have glanced in his direction several times, wearing a lively, innocent smile.

Most importantly, the place Xiao Wu had been looking at was his hair!

"Whether it's true or not, I'll know once I try!"

Tang San's expression, which had been about to turn gloomy, instantly brightened, his depression swept away as if by a spring breeze.

The next moment, he raised his head and puffed out his chest. The hair around his bald crown swayed nonstop as he faced Xiao Wu's direction with utter confidence, like a peacock courting a mate.

Not long after, when Xiao Wu looked toward Xiao Chen again, she happened to notice Tang San's current behavior.

"Hm?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head slightly, her heart full of confusion.

Tang San had lost the fight, yet he was still grinning strangely and showing off that silly hairstyle of his...

There wasn't something wrong with his head, was there?

"It's actually true!"

When Xiao Wu looked at him, her gaze really did linger on his bald crown for quite a while. She had even given him an adorable head tilt. Tang San was so excited that he nearly cried out.

His opinion of Xiao Chen also changed somewhat.

Xiao Wu's follower was actually pretty decent. He spoke nicely, and his strength was passable too.

No wonder he was able to stay by Xiao Wu's side.

When Tang San challenged Xiao Chen again in the future, he should go a little easier on him and not beat him to death outright.

Paralyzing him for a while would be enough to vent today's anger.

"Got him."

Seeing the change in Tang San, Xiao Chen's heart filled with amusement.

According to the system, as long as he came into contact with key figures in this world, there was a chance of triggering random missions.

Obviously, Tang San, the protagonist, was definitely included, so Xiao Chen had to remain in contact with him for a long time.

And there were generally two simplest ways to make contact: either beat the other person into submission and make him his underling, or kneel and flatter him shamelessly.

To beat him into submission, he had to draw a reward that made him immune to all poisons.

Because he clearly remembered that Tang San was a devious bastard who used poison!

As for kneeling and flattering him?

Impossible. A transmigrator would never be a slave!

So, he needed to find another way.

First, he would make Tang San form a decent impression of him. Then he would keep fooling him until Tang San willingly became his lackey.

Then, whenever Xiao Chen was in a bad mood, he and Xiao Wu could team up to beat Tang San.

And the key was that after getting beaten up, Tang San would still have to call out, "Brother Xiao, I know I was wrong."

Wouldn't that be even more satisfying?

Now that Tang San's matter had been dealt with.

It was time for him to get properly intimate with Xiao Wu, increase Xiao Wu's affection for him, and further improve his physical fitness...

"Ow."

At that thought, Xiao Chen suddenly relaxed his body and fell toward the ground with a pained cry.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly caught him, pressing her whole body directly against his, her eyes filled with concern.

The soft sensation, the comfortable embrace.

It instantly refreshed Xiao Chen's spirit, making him unwilling to exert any strength at all as he simply hung off Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Chen, where do you feel unwell? Tang San, look! Xiao Chen was hurt by your hidden weapon! You even resorted to a sneak attack in a fight—you're shameless!"

Tang San: ???

Damn it.

Where was he hurt? I was clearly the one getting beaten up the entire time, wasn't I?

Look at my face—it's already been beaten into a pig's head. Even if my dad came right now, he wouldn't recognize me!

"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted."

Xiao Chen spoke "weakly."

"Sigh."

"If you can't hold on, just let me do it. I told you, Sister Xiao Wu will look after you at the academy from now on."

Seeing the exhausted look on Xiao Chen's face, Xiao Wu gently helped him lie down on the bed. Then she lay on her side beside him, her fragrance soothing to the senses.

Her slender jade-like fingers reached out and lightly poked his cheek. At the same time, she pulled up the soft blanket with her other hand and covered both of them, reproaching him.

However, though Xiao Wu scolded Xiao Chen with her words, her body honestly pressed even closer to him, warming him.

One of her long, fair legs remained outside, lightly clamping the soft blanket from her side—though it was a little restless.

Sometimes, it swayed back and forth before Xiao Chen out of boredom to pass the time; other times, it withdrew beneath the blanket to raise its temperature.

That special soft sensation, along with the visually stunning sight, made Xiao Chen feel incomparably comfortable.

Compete with Xiao Wu to be the boss, then take advantage of the fight to get close and snuggle with her?

Why go through all that trouble?

As long as he tired himself out and lay down, Xiao Wu would come over and take care of him wholeheartedly.

That was exactly what Xiao Wu was thinking right now as well.

After all, they had agreed on it long ago.

Xiao Chen would help her buy things and give her a soft blanket to cover herself with, while she would help Xiao Chen warm the bed.

"Xiao Chen, how are you feeling now? Are you cold? Do you want me to hold you tighter?"

"Ow, what a warm blanket. Xiao Wu is so happy~"

"Ding! Xiao Wu's affection toward the host has increased. The host's physical fitness enhancement has reached 27%..."

At some point, Xiao Wu, who had been playing around with Xiao Chen, seemed to feel that warming the bed was not efficient enough.

So she directly called out sweetly to Tang San, who had been staring blankly at them from the neighboring bed.

"Tang San, stop spacing out. If you have nothing to do, come over and help!"

"Xiao Wu, I'm coming."

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San suddenly perked up.

This was the first time Xiao Wu had asked him for help. He had to do a good job!

"What did you call me? Xiao Chen is the boss now, I'm second, and you're third. You're younger than me, so you have to call me Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Xiao Chen is very tired right now and doesn't have the strength to hold me tightly. It's making it hard for me to warm the bed. Push him from behind! Don't let him accidentally fall off the bed. Hurry up!"

"What?"

"Crunch, crunch..."

Seeing Xiao Wu fuss over Xiao Chen while ordering him around like a big brother ordering his little brother, Tang San clenched his teeth hard.

After lowering his head in silence for a moment, he ultimately chose to reach out and gently push Xiao Chen, moving him back to the center of the bed and making him hold Xiao Wu tighter.

He didn't want to bow his head either, but he truly had no choice!

They were obviously just raising the temperature under the blanket, purely warming the bed, yet because of the angle, it looked as though Xiao Wu was doing something bad to Xiao Chen.

His Xiao Wu was so pure and innocent. How could she possibly do that sort of thing?

Tang San, don't let your imagination run wild.

This was the first time Xiao Wu had asked you for help. You had to do it well and couldn't make Xiao Wu angry again.

Calm down, calm down...
