"You're definitely not that kind of bad kid." As she spoke, Shuxuan moved closer to Xiangyi and reached out to take off Xiangyi's glasses. Her expression was one of admiration and praise, finding Xiangyi's face incredibly beautiful no matter how she looked at it.
It didn't seem real either, exceeding the heights that humans should attain, like a fairy.
"Xiao Yi, haven't you ever wondered who your mother is?"
"It doesn't matter, does it?" Xiangyi shook her head and looked at the television, pretending she didn't want to discuss the topic.
Shuxuan, however, had been piqued by what Zhang Mou had said today. Seeing Xiangyi evade the question, she assumed Xiangyi knew something and asked, "Why not?"
"A woman who hasn't looked for me in over a decade, what kind of good person could she be?"
Shuxuan was left speechless. She gently pulled Xiangyi's body towards her and said, "Listen, Xiao Yi, maybe your mother didn't mean to abandon you. Maybe she had something important to do, or maybe she passed away."
"But no matter what, facts are facts. There's nothing to discuss." Xiangyi stood up. Shuxuan's tone made it clear to her that there was no point in continuing the conversation.
"Xiao Yi..." Shuxuan felt helpless but could only watch Xiangyi leave. Her expression was filled with worry, and in the end, she chose not to press the matter further.
Xiangyi, on the other hand, felt little emotional fluctuation. She didn't even know what kind of identity the world had fabricated for her. After looking at her beautiful yet unfamiliar face in the mirror for about five minutes, Xiangyi decided to take a bath.
By the time she came out, it was past midnight. Shuxuan was already under the covers, looking drowsy. However, for some reason, Shuxuan wasn't asleep. Her expression was serious, as if she had recalled something during Xiangyi's absence.
Xiangyi: You were watching TV with Shuxuan just now, right? Tell me quickly, did she discover anything?
The two Flower People shook their heads in confusion, seemingly not understanding the source of Shuxuan's emotions. Xiangyi felt even more helpless. She scanned her surroundings, checking for any props that might have exposed her appearance, but found nothing.
"Come here." Shuxuan had a fierce look on her face, as if she was going to confront Xiangyi about something.
"Ah, Sister Shuxuan, what's wrong?" Xiangyi cautiously stepped forward. Shuxuan pulled her, dragging her entirely onto the bed. Immediately after, Shuxuan showed Xiangyi a photograph.
The photo was of Xiangyi, without her glasses, kicking an uncle. Due to the nature of the banquet, it had been captured by a paparazzi. However, because the content was not mainstream, it was now being spread on a small scale. Especially Xiangyi's kick, which had been magically looped and dubbed with Xiangyi shouting "scumbag."
"..."
Xiangyi was even more speechless. She never imagined she would become famous in such a bizarre way.
"I drank yesterday and forgot about this. Tell me, you caused such a huge mess, how should I punish you!"
As she spoke, Shuxuan's gaze swept across Xiangyi's face, as if she wanted to take advantage of Xiangyi's recklessness to inflict some insane punishment...

Chapter 81 [1] How Can One Be a Gentleman?
Her eyes landed on Xiangyi's face, then shifted to her lips. Xiangyi hadn't done anything, yet her lips seemed to be silently inviting, giving Shuxuan a strange feeling.
"Sister Shuxuan, how are you planning to punish me?" Xiangyi, on the other hand, was ecstatic inside. She feigned a pitiful look, trying to prolong the punishment.
"How do you think I will punish you?" That kind of expression naturally revealed one's true nature. Shuxuan couldn't help but get caught up in it, even following up with her question.
"I don't know... But can it be light? I'm quite afraid of pain." Xiangyi continued to act nervously, biting her lip, deliberately reminding Shuxuan of what needed to be done.
"Am I that kind of person? If I punish you, it will only be a gentle punishment." Shuxuan gasped, feeling that something was off no matter how she looked at it. Xiangyi in front of her didn't look like a high school student at all. Her demeanor and appearance were more alluring and captivating than any woman she had ever met.
It was as if she was a queen bee at her core, drawing all attention.
The thought of Young Master Chen's instant infatuation earlier made Shuxuan feel it was perfectly normal. Forget men; even women couldn't help but desire to possess such a beauty.
As she was thinking this, Shuxuan's hand had already moved. Her fingers gently touched Xiangyi's lips, her expression focused and engrossed.
Xiangyi didn't respond. She knew that any action now would make Shuxuan hesitate. So, she quietly waited for Shuxuan to initiate the kiss. Although there was an element of seduction, it didn't violate the game rules set by the System.
"Xiao Yi, have you kissed anyone before?" Shuxuan asked again, her thumb continuing to caress Xiangyi's lips. No matter how she touched them, they felt wonderful. Soft and warm. Moreover, because Xiangyi had just showered, she carried a faint fragrance that mingled with her body's scent, making her smell as delicious as a delectable dessert.
"No..." Xiangyi almost bit her tongue but managed to hold back and tell the truth at that moment.
Shaoyao and the Hua Nu, watching from the side, exchanged subtle glances, further confirming their belief that Xiangyi was a natural-born love cheat, showing no change in expression even when lying.
It was precisely because the two Flower People were watching that Xiangyi clearly understood her mission. She mentally chanted, "Tool, tool, you are all my tools," to maintain her composure in the face of such visual impact.
Humans are not saints; how can one be a hermit?
Especially a beautiful woman, dressed in pajamas that suited her temperament. Depending on the angle of compression, one could see the curves of a beauty. Her hair gently brushed against her neck, her expression extremely ambiguous, and the strap was playfully sliding down. It was slow, as if in a slow-motion movie.
Xiangyi's attention was slightly unfocused, but she didn't show any fear or shyness, which clearly wouldn't give Shuxuan the pleasure of continuing to tease her.
Shuxuan seemed hesitant, her grip loosening slightly. She asked again, "So you've never kissed anyone?"
Xiangyi felt the situation was precarious. "I... I've kissed Ning Ning a bit..."
But it seemed this statement made Shuxuan's eyebrows twitch slightly. "Oh? How did you kiss?"
She already knew that Shuxuan and Muning had a hostile relationship. Seeing how effective this statement was, she realized she had found the right approach. She feigned shyness and then whispered, "One day, we were watching a movie, and I was curious about what kissing felt like, so I pestered her and kissed her..."
"Oh, where?"
Shuxuan continued to press, her grip tightening unconsciously.
"On the lips... the lips, I guess."
Xiangyi's eyes began to dart around. She felt like a child caught doing something wrong by an adult at that moment. Of course, this feeling was feigned. She wouldn't boast about other things, but when it came to kissing experience, Xiangyi considered herself a seasoned veteran.
"You two are too reckless." Shuxuan criticized, sounding displeased. Xiangyi immediately pretended to be wronged and said in a small voice, "I just wanted to know. But..."
Xiangyi continued to pique Shuxuan's interest in the topic. If Shuxuan showed more interactive feedback, she would know she had succeeded and could proceed to the next step.
"But what?"
Shuxuan asked without hesitation, but her expression suggested she was a little unhappy.
The bedside lamp cast a warm, intimate glow. Qin Xiangyi shifted her gaze slightly to Shuxuan's forehead before saying, "But it doesn't seem to feel like what they say on TV."
Shuxuan let out a sigh of relief, then chuckled, "Of course. What would you two kids understand?"
She seemed to calm down, noticing she had been holding Qin Xiangyi a bit too tightly. She smiled, realizing she was just too nervous about this little sister.
Logically, who Qin Xiangyi associated with was none of her business. Yet, in just a few days, Qin Xiangyi had developed a charm that captivated her. This feeling left Shuxuan feeling bewildered. But looking at her lips, the heat from earlier hadn't subsided; instead, it intensified.
"Then, Sister Shuxuan, you're an adult, don't you also not understand?" Qin Xiangyi retorted with dissatisfaction, continuing to steer the conversation. As expected, Shuxuan's expression turned serious.
Shuxuan was ambitious and loved challenges. For someone like her, an unknown territory filled her with fighting spirit. Moreover, she seemed to harbor a slight mischievous thought towards Qin Xiangyi, which completely encroached upon Shuxuan's territory, making her appear somewhat impatient.
"Of course, I understand."
"But didn't you say before that you never had a boyfriend?" Qin Xiangyi casually bluffed. In her memory, all the female protagonists were set up to be pure and inexperienced. Even if they had dated, they hadn't even held hands.
Therefore, Shuxuan should also fit this character profile.
"How could that be? You must be mistaken. I changed boyfriends every year in college!" Shuxuan defended awkwardly. But judging from her expression, her dignity as an elder had been damaged. She subconsciously lied to Qin Xiangyi, implying she had already lost her first kiss.
This kind of lie was common. Qin Xiangyi knew Shuxuan had taken the bait and pretended to be curious, saying, "Then tell me, what does a kiss really feel like? Does your mind really see little stars like in the TV shows?"

Chapter 82 [2] Sleepless Night
Shuxuan had intended to maintain her stern facade, but hearing that description almost made her die laughing.
"Xiao Yi, no matter how people kiss, their minds won't see little stars. What melodramatic TV shows are you watching?" Shuxuan couldn't stop smiling, but she seemed to enjoy looking down at Qin Xiangyi from her superior position. She showed no signs of getting up.
If Qin Xiangyi's self-control wasn't so excellent right now, she would have felt uncomfortable being pinned down for so long.
"So I went to try it with Ning Ning. It seems there really weren't any little stars, but Ning Ning's lips are really comfortable." Qin Xiangyi continued her insane provocation. From this point on, it was confirmed that Zhou Muning and Shuxuan could no longer be friends.
"Your little head is really twisted. Why are you always thinking about such messy things?" Shuxuan was speechless. At the same time, she leaned back, reluctantly releasing Qin Xiangyi.
Qin Xiangyi felt puzzled. This was completely different from what she had imagined. Logically, after she had instigated things like this, Shuxuan would have been provoked into kissing her.
But...
"Sister Shuxuan, are you angry?" Looking at Shuxuan's posture again, after lying down, she turned to the other side. Qin Xiangyi finally realized how difficult Shuxuan was to fool. It could be said that her age and maturity made Shuxuan's thinking restrained and calm.
Although Qin Xiangyi's words had upset her, her rationality suppressed her from crossing the line.
"No, let's sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow," Shuxuan emphasized again. Qin Xiangyi said "oh" and was about to take out her phone to set her alarm for the next day when she noticed a WeChat message.
It was sent about half an hour ago by Zhang Mou.
[WeChat]Zhang Mou: Can't sleep, are you asleep yet? Can you chat with me?
Zhang Mou was as proactive as ever. She immediately sent a photo of herself, as if to stimulate Qin Xiangyi's central nervous system in the middle of the night.
If everyone were as enthusiastic as Zhang Mou, perhaps Qin Xiangyi wouldn't be so miserable every day. Shuxuan had already fallen asleep, and the line about fooling her into her first kiss was broken. She had no choice but to continue chatting with Zhang Mou on her phone.
[WeChat]Qin Xiangyi: Okay, are you asleep?
After sending the message, Qin Xiangyi was about to lie down and wait for Zhang Mou's reply when the other party had already sent a line of text.
[WeChat]Zhang Mou: No, is it convenient to video call?
She seemed to really like seeing Qin Xiangyi's face. Qin Xiangyi hesitated, glancing at the sleeping Shuxuan, and then replied.
[WeChat]Qin Xiangyi: Wait a moment, I'll move somewhere else to talk to you.
After typing this, Qin Xiangyi got up stealthily. She quickly put on her shoes and went to the balcony, pulling the curtains shut so Zhang Mou wouldn't discover that the living room's layout was the same as Shuxuan's home.
Of course, to avoid disturbing anyone, she put on headphones and reminded Shaoyao and Hua Nu to keep an eye on Shuxuan's movements. If Shuxuan came over, they were to inform her immediately.
After finishing these arrangements, Qin Xiangyi initiated a video call. The call connected quickly, and Zhang Mou's figure appeared. She was wearing a bathrobe, seemingly having just finished showering. Her hair was damp, which amplified her mature, alluring aura to the extreme.
She was undeniably beautiful. That mature charm was something a young beauty couldn't replicate. Qin Xiangyi stared at Zhang Mou, who openly accepted Qin Xiangyi's gaze.
This angle fully showcased Zhang Mou's charm. Her physical management and skincare were impeccable, making it hard to believe she was a forty-year-old woman.
"Do I look good?"
"You look beautiful."
"Do you want to touch?"
"Yes."
The conversation between the two was simple and direct. Zhang Mou listened and laughed heartily, seeming to enjoy Qin Xiangyi's directness.
Perhaps she had seen too many people playing mind games. To Zhang Mou, the straightforward Qin Xiangyi seemed fresh and adorable.
"You're so cute."
"You're so beautiful."
Qin Xiangyi's old face blushed. After all, she was a writer of wrestling novels, but saying these words still felt unreal. Zhang Mou on the other end was still smiling, but then she seemed to remember something important.
"Oh, right. I still don't know your name?"
It was only then that Qin Xiangyi remembered she hadn't introduced herself to Zhang Mou.
"My name is Hua Linglong. Hua from 'flower,' Linglong from 'exquisite.'" Qin Xiangyi used the fake name she had created earlier. She had initially considered changing it to something common like Gu Qingcheng or Feng Qiwu, but it felt too narcissistic, so she stuck with the name she had used the first time.
"Your real name?"
Zhang Mou raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Fake."
Xiangyi answered honestly. Zhang Mou still smiled, seemingly unbothered, and slowly sat up before beginning her self-introduction.
"Alright, it's my turn to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Mou. Zhang from the bow-long character Zhang, and Mou from someone's Mou."
Xiangyi mimicked Zhang Mou's earlier questioning style and retorted, "Fake?"
Zhang Mou chuckled and replied, "Real name."
Xiangyi showed disbelief and pressed for the truth behind Zhang Mou's name, "How could parents give a child such a name?"
Zhang Mou took a sip of the red wine placed beside her and continued, "My family was very poor, and we had seven sisters."
"Don't tell me your eldest sister is Zhang Yi, your second sister is Zhang Er, and since you're the youngest, you're called Zhang Mou?"
Xiangyi apologized inwardly again. If she had known that extras could become Flower Fairies, she would never have casually named Zhang Mou. Of course, this melodramatic setting was precisely what she herself had created.
"You guessed right. My original name was Zhang Mo. Later, when I was getting my ID card, my mother wrote unclearly, and it was registered as Zhang Mou. Plus, during the famine back then, they thought a simple name would make a child easier to raise, so I've been called Zhang Mou ever since."
Xiangyi feigned sudden enlightenment but also felt that the world's completion was thorough and realistic enough.
That feeling made Xiangyi think it wasn't her who created this world, but rather this world that had chosen her. However, fearing she might die too quickly, it had provided her with some pre-existing settings.
But this thought was just speculation, with no evidence to support Xiangyi's assumptions.
