Delicious Carrot, Pain, So Painful

"Xiao Chen, aren't you Sister Xiao Wu's attendant? How could you be so intimate with Xiao Wu?"

At last, Tang San, who had been pushing Xiao Chen from behind and listening to the two of them play around, could no longer hold himself back.

He abruptly raised his head, fury blazing in his heart as he demanded an answer.

To hell with putting up with this!

He was a noble disciple of the Tang Sect, not some pushover!

"I told you, you have to call him Boss Xiao Chen!"

"And what do you mean, intimate? Are you stupid? Is warming someone's bed intimate? Is helping someone stretch their legs when they're sore intimate? Tell me, which one of our actions was intimate!"

Before Xiao Chen could speak, Xiao Wu refuted him with a puzzled look, her face full of innocence.

Tang San was immediately left speechless.

Then, Xiao Wu seemed to think of something, and a look of disgust instantly appeared in her eyes.

"Wait, Tang San, what exactly are you thinking?"

"Could it be something improper? Tch, you're really disgusting. I never thought you were that kind of person!"

"I... I was... No, Xiao Wu, you misunderstood me. What I meant was..."

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San began to stammer, not knowing how to explain himself.

After all, from the beginning until now, Xiao Wu truly had not done anything out of line.

She had merely warmed the bed for the exhausted Xiao Chen and taken close care of him.

He was the one in the wrong!

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu turned her head away, ignored Tang San, and continued cuddling Xiao Chen.

"..."

Seeing this, hatred flickered directly in Tang San's eyes.

It was all that bastard Xiao Chen's fault!

If Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu had not been doing such intimate things, how could he have overthought it? How could Xiao Wu have come to dislike him?

Sigh.

In the end, Tang San could only sigh silently to himself, blaming everything on Xiao Chen being too useless to the point of collapsing from exhaustion after a single fight.

And on Xiao Wu being far too kindhearted to bear seeing anyone else get hurt.

If he had known this, why had he fought so hard to win earlier? Wouldn't it have been better to just fall to the ground?

If he had done that, the one enjoying Xiao Wu warming his bed and cuddling him right now would have been him!

He still understood Xiao Wu far too little.

It seemed that when he had the chance, he needed to find Xiao Chen more often and ask him about Xiao Wu.

Once he successfully won Xiao Wu's heart, he could kick Xiao Chen aside!

But for now, he should smooth this matter over first.

With that thought, Tang San looked at Xiao Chen eagerly, pretending to ask for help.

How could Xiao Chen not know what Tang San was thinking? He immediately spoke up.

"Xiao Wu, is it possible that Tang San didn't mean it that way? He's just not very good at talking, slow to react, and can't get his brain to work fast enough."

"Ah, right, right, right."

Tang San nodded repeatedly.

But very soon, he froze on the spot.

The first half was fine, but why does the second half sound so weird?

Damn it.

Xiao Chen, you bastard. You may have cleared up part of the misunderstanding by saying that, but Xiao Wu is going to think I'm actually stupid!

Could being honest also be some ultimate technique for flirting with girls?

Damn it.

In my previous life, I shouldn't have buried myself in researching hidden weapons and focusing on secretly learning the Tang Sect's ultimate arts. Now, even with a girl right in front of me, I can't flirt with her!

"Tch! If you can't talk properly, then don't talk. If your brain doesn't work well, then don't let your imagination run wild."

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks angrily, no longer paying Tang San any attention as she burrowed into the blankets.

Her arms around Xiao Chen also tightened further, enjoying the warm atmosphere beneath the blankets, her face full of satisfaction.

"Grrr..."

At some point, Xiao Wu's stomach suddenly growled beneath the blankets.

Tang San's eyes immediately lit up when he heard it.

Was Xiao Wu hungry?

Great—his chance to impress her had come!

But this time, he did not speak up immediately. Instead, he stood to the side, rubbing his Mediterranean bald spot to make it shine even brighter as he thought.

To avoid saying the wrong thing again, he had to think this through carefully!

"Uh..."

With both Xiao Chen and Tang San staring at her, Xiao Wu suddenly felt rather awkward.

As for the others from Seventh Dormitory, after Xiao Wu began warming the bed, they had all found excuses to run out, each of them crouching by the door to peek inside.

Warming the bed? Brother and sister?

As expected of the new boss—she really knew how to play!

"Xiao Wu's hungry? Easy."

A thought crossed Xiao Chen's mind.

"Use card: Small Storage Soul Tool!"

"Use card: Super Delicious Carrot (100)!"

Immediately afterward, the two cards in the system space vanished.

In their place, a black ring suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's hand—the Small Storage Soul Tool.

And the hundred Super Delicious Carrots were stored inside it.

"Xiao Wu, you've been busy for so long. You must be hungry, right? This is a specialty from my hometown. Give it a try."

Xiao Chen pulled his hand out from beneath the covers, took out a Super Delicious Carrot, and spoke softly.

"Wow? Xiao Chen, you can do magic too? You're amazing!"

At the sight of this, excitement immediately sparkled in Xiao Wu's eyes.

Her little nose lightly sniffed at the Super Delicious Carrot, as though she were trying to determine whether it was real.

But soon, her little face turned pink, and her small mouth fell open slightly.

"Wait! This... this is a real carrot? And why does it smell..."

"!"

Seeing this, Tang San thought Xiao Wu's face had turned red with anger, just like before, and his mood instantly improved.

The next moment, he abruptly sat up in bed. His hair fluttered, while his Mediterranean bald spot reflected the light.

His chance had come!

"Xiao Chen, I know your circumstances aren't great, but Sister Xiao Wu is the boss of our Seventh Dormitory. How can she eat carrots? Those are for people to eat."

Tang San spoke with righteous indignation.

"Our school has a Cafeteria. Even Work-Study Students can eat there. And my teacher is the school's famous Grandmaster, so I can ask him to..."

"Such fragrant carrots! I want one, I want one! Hurry and give it to me!"

Before Tang San could finish speaking, Xiao Wu's delighted cry cut him off.

At the same time, Xiao Wu threw herself straight at Xiao Chen, wrapping both hands tightly around the Super Delicious Carrot and rubbing against it wildly.

Xiao Chen smiled.

"It was meant for you. Take it."

Anything produced by the system was bound to be top quality!

"Xiao Chen, you're so nice~"

Xiao Wu hugged Xiao Chen's carrot lovingly, unable to put it down, yet somewhat reluctant to eat it.

Seeing this, Tang San froze on the spot, all color draining from him.

X-Xiao Wu actually liked carrots?

"Ding! Xiao Wu's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's physical attributes have increased by 28%..."

"Hm?"

Hearing the system's voice, the corners of Xiao Chen's lips rose slightly.

He could clearly feel that his physical attributes had improved a little.

This was the effect of the Peerless Beauty System.

The higher the favorability of the opposite sex, the more noticeably his physical attributes would improve!

Not bad.

This way of getting stronger while cuddling felt really good.

Since that was the case, he had even more reason to make Xiao Wu eat the Super Delicious Carrot!

With that in mind, Xiao Chen reached out and gently rubbed Xiao Wu's little head.

As he withdrew it, his fingers brushed past her ear, making Xiao Wu's cheeks flush and her eyes turn watery.

"Xiao Wu, just eat as much as you want. I have plenty more. I can't promise much else, but I can definitely keep you fed."

"Do you really have lots more carrots like this?"

At those words, Xiao Wu's pink eyes became even more limpid. She breathed out warm air, looking utterly pitiful and charming, her gaze full of anticipation.

"Of course."

"Then... then Xiao Wu will dig in?"

Under Xiao Chen's gaze, Xiao Wu parted her lips slightly, revealing her teeth and the tip of her tongue.

Then she bit down.

Crunch!

"Mmm..."

"This carrot is so huge—bigger than any I've ever eaten before. My mouth can barely fit it, but it's so crunchy and delicious!"

The moment the Super Delicious Carrot entered her mouth, Xiao Wu's pink eyes immediately narrowed into slits, her gaze turning hazy and moist as her lashes trembled.

Her ears twitched spiritedly as well. Her whole body felt light, as though she were about to float away.

"Oh my god! How could there be such delicious carrots in this world? My throat—cough, cough, cough... I ate too fast and choked. I almost couldn't breathe, but I'm so happy..."

"Xiao Chen, give me a few more carrots. Just a few, just a few, okay? Xiao Wu wants more carrots. Xiao Wu still wants carrots like these~"

"Ding! Xiao Wu's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's physical attributes enhancement has reached 29%..."

Seeing the way Xiao Wu was acting in front of Xiao Chen, Tang San felt like he was about to collapse.

My Xiao Wu.

Stop clinging to him. Stop making those sounds that people could misunderstand.

At least... at least call my name instead. Then I'd feel a little better hearing it!

It hurt too much!

"Ding! Trigger conditions met. Congratulations, host, you have triggered a Hidden Quest."

"..."
