Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-Person Fan!
Chu Yuanqing felt as if a storm had been forcibly stirred up in her head, a massive amount of information swirling and sweeping through her consciousness. She vaguely pieced together the meaning from the sentence and decided it would be better to try to clear up some misunderstandings, replying softly:
"Yayoi, it's not what you think."
"I kissed her simply because I needed to, not because I liked her, and Qingxuan didn't even know we'd filmed a wedding dress commercial together."
This is the absolute truth.
Even Chu Yuanqing himself felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed after saying those words. He felt that the hastily uttered words were incredibly awful and could easily cause some very abstract misunderstandings.
And that is indeed the case.
Kiriwake Yayoi felt a spring breeze caressing her heart. Her shattered soul was revived by this denial of Xie Qingxuan, and her dying hope was rekindled.
Even though the phrase "[I only need it]" sounds lewd and scumbag, Little Sakura is now like someone who has been manipulated by a bad woman, immersed in the joy of regaining what she lost, completely ignoring these "flaws," only feeling that she hasn't lost everything yet.
Even so, she was still brought to tears by those words.
Tears streamed down the girl's reddened eyes, her pretty face streaked with tears. Her expression, though strained to maintain composure, betrayed a deep sense of grievance and sorrow, making her look utterly pitiful.
Chu Yuanqing became increasingly flustered as he looked at the situation, completely unsure of what to do.
Kiriwake Yayoi barely managed to regain her composure. She knew that not only Xie Qingxuan, but also Tang Liuli harbored delusions of affection for Chu Yuanqing that went beyond normal friendship. Therefore, she decided to press her advantage and continue her attack.
"So, you also kissed Liuli on your own initiative?"
Chu Yuanqing was at a loss. If she didn't tell the truth, and Liuli couldn't control her tongue in the future, Yayoi would only be more upset and heartbroken. But if she told the truth, no matter how she explained, she would only be seen as a lecherous womanizer, right?
The girl pursed her lips, completely unaware that she had been tricked. After thinking for a long time, she stammered:
"Yes, I have, but... to call it initiative... it can't really be considered initiative, can it?"
Kiriwake Yayoi hardened her fist.
Is it considered proactive, or not?
Doesn't this mean that after Xiao Qing initiated the kiss, Tang Liuli responded enthusiastically, even taking the initiative and kissing her for a very long time?
Even though she had become emotionally numb from being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, she still felt the urge to cry out loud after learning that her home had been raided by the Green Eyed Cat.
Little Sakura took a deep breath, trying hard to control her emotions. She pursed her moist lips, but the tears still flowed even more freely, and even her words were tinged with a sob that she was trying her best to suppress.
"Xiao Qing, how many other women have you kissed?"
"Xiao Shu, have you kissed her? And your other roommate Liang Xiaoxiao too? Or, are there any other women outside whom I don't know that you've kissed?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuanqing became nervous and flustered, unsure how to explain, and extremely frightened.
She was not only afraid of hurting Yayoi's girlish heart, but also afraid that if her Little Cotton-padded Jacket woke up and saw this scene, she would look at her with disdain.
Chu Yuanqing pinched Little Sakura's cheek, wiped away her tears with her slender hands, and whispered comfortingly:
"Although I... I did Xiao Shu, I only kissed her forehead. I simply treated her like a child."
"As for Xiaoxiao, there's even less of that. We're just ordinary friends. Qingxuan and Liuli's incident was just an accident."
"I really don't have a relationship with them that goes beyond friendship, and I haven't violated any principles of idol worship, so... Yayoi, please stop crying, okay?"
Kiriwake Yayoi brimming with tears, the cherry blossom pink in her pupils shimmering with fragile arcs of light amidst the tears. She sniffled, pressed her rose-petal-like lips together, and held her composure, letting the tears fall rather than show a shameful crying face. She whispered:
"Really?"
Chu Yuanqing patted the Little Idol's head as if coaxing a child, then secretly glanced at the Little Cotton-padded Jacket who was still fast asleep beside him. Hearing Yayoi's increasingly uncontrollable expression, he was afraid that the child would suddenly burst into tears.
But you can't exactly yell at Yayoi at this moment, telling her to keep her voice down so she doesn't disturb her daughter's sleep, can you?
That's too bad, too cold-hearted, too inhumane.
Chu Yuanqing thought carefully for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then hugged Little Sakura into her arms, burying her face in her chest, letting the tear stains soak into her thin pajamas, successfully reducing the sound through physical means.
Subsequently,
Like a gentle mother, Chu Yuanqing stroked the other person's head and continued to comfort them softly:
"Really, if I wanted to lie to you, I would have lied from the very beginning."
Kiriwake Yayoi's face was buried in a plump, round shape, and her nostrils were filled with the scents of lemon shower gel, gardenia laundry detergent, and a fresh, sweet milky fragrance, like that of rose petals.
These auras, combined with the body temperature of the other person, form the poison of the Gu master, staining the very essence of their soul. Combined with the cool touch of fingertips, the soothing comfort of strong liquor and gentle spring water, and the delicate touch of soft flesh, they create a deadly combination.
Little Sakura was shamefully captivated by his good looks, but she could no longer hold back. As if she had gained the right to feel wronged, the floodgates of her emotions opened wide, and tears streamed down her rounded, full breasts, stained with only a layer of fabric, staining her silk pajamas. She sadly revealed her true feelings:
"But you kissed Liuli, Xie Qingxuan, and Little Wangshu, but you've never kissed me. Do you hate me?"
Chu Yuanqing's brain went blank.
Huh? How does that logic work? Is it normal for close friends to kiss? Why do I suddenly have this strange feeling of déjà vu?
If the Green Eyed Cat were here, she would probably be furious and berate this cunning cherry blossom girl. Unfortunately, she is currently fast asleep next door, dreaming of hugging Chu Yuanqing and being affectionate with him, completely unaware of this.
Chu Yuanqing struggled to throw out a will judgment, not getting completely confused, and hesitated before saying:
"I... I don't dislike Yayoi, but this is different from kissing. Friends shouldn't do this, right?"
Kiriwake Yayoi raised her face, and pearl-like tears fell from the depths of her Pink Diamond- like eyes, shattering one by one onto Chu Yuanqing's chest, soaking into the fabric, as if trying to penetrate his skin and strike his heart, which was full of snow-capped mountains. She pursed her lips sadly and said:
"If kissing isn't something friends should do, Xiao Qing, then why did you kiss them? Did you want to date them both at the same time? Xiao Qing... is that the kind of person you are?"
Chu Yuanqing's expression stiffened slightly; she was completely stunned.
No matter how you explain it, this is an unavoidable issue. You either have to admit you're a "bad girl" or accept the logic that friends can kiss.
There's no way around it. Using kissing to trigger the Magic Replenishment mechanism, and then using the Magic Replenishment mechanism to alleviate the curse—this whole logic is so convincing, no one would believe it. It sounds like they're just trying to fool idiots.
Wait, Magic Replenishment?
Chu Yuanqing had a sudden flash of inspiration. She had been intentionally ignoring this shameless and embarrassing thing, but upon careful consideration, Magic Replenishment was by far the most effective way to alleviate the pain of the curse, and even to counteract and weaken it.
Keep in mind that Xie Qingxuan has only just come into contact with the artificial lantern, and the magical power within her is pitifully small; she's not even a potential Magical Girl.
Under these circumstances, just six minutes of French kissing with her was enough to alleviate the rampage of the curse and many of its side effects on the body. Its cost-effectiveness was so high that it almost violated the law of conservation of energy.
Chu Yuanqing pursed her lips and remained silent. She hadn't thought about it deeply before because she felt it was too immoral, too utilitarian, and even had a sense of guilt about leading young girls to become neodymium copper.
But now, whether it's to fulfill the ideals of the masses in the old era, to create an environment where her daughter can live a happy life, or... to fulfill her promise to Charlotte, she has to lower her moral standards and start thinking about everything she can use.
Furthermore, upon closer examination, setting aside the innocent Golden Haired Doggy, judging from Liuli and Yayoi's reactions, their sexual orientation seems somewhat off.
So...
Chu Yuanqing pursed her moist, pink lips slightly, her lowered pupils misty with tears, and her beautiful golden eyes rippled and danced, as if embracing the twilight of the seabed, as she silently made up her mind.
Golden eyes?
Kiriwake Yayoi somewhat dazed. She felt as if she had hallucinated from the overwhelming beauty she had seen. For a moment, she forgot her sadness and, like a moth drawn to a torch, was immersed in the radiance emanating from Chu Yuanqing. She felt as if time had stopped at that moment, staring at him without saying a word, looking as adorably silly as a fool.
In the long, ambiguous silence, this person, bathed in the orange glow of the nightlight—a figure both sacred and alluring, serene and solemn, as pure and beautiful as a poem, evoking images of sunlight and Lake Varga—fluttered her eyelashes and softly asked:
"Yayoi, do you really want to kiss me?"
Kiriwake Yayoi's expression faltered slightly. Her love and desire for Chu Yuanqing burned like wildfire in those words, making her feel as if she were sinking into soft clouds. Yet, the remaining rationality made her feel as if she were being ripped apart by a sharp blade.
Those despicable, ugly, and selfish thoughts were laid bare and exposed to the public, bringing forth intense shame and self-loathing.
Kiriwake Yayoi realized with shame that even though that wasn't her intention, she had still managed to deliver a slightly sarcastic moral blackmail to Xiao Qing.
This is absolutely outrageous! She clearly doesn't want to be a bad person like the Little Fox.
Xiao Qing must be angry to say that, right?
Little Sakura pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a soft, cherry-pink hue, tears still streaming down her face. Embracing a judgmental attitude, she simply confessed:
"Yes, I really want to kiss you, so much."
"I... I've fallen for you, not in a friendly way, but in a romantic way."
"So, I'm jealous of the girls you kissed."
Chu Yuanqing was greatly shocked. She thought about it over and over, but she just couldn't figure out why she would be liked.
That's so strange, so incredibly strange.
Liuli is like that, Kiyohyun is like that, and even the most upright and reliable Yayoi is like that.
Do girls these days all like to work with neodymium copper? Or is this body just too attractive?
Chu Yuanqing realized for the first time that she seemed to have many romantic entanglements, and her mind was in turmoil. After a long silence, she made her decision and said frankly:
"Yayoi, I only see you as a friend."
"This has nothing to do with my sexual orientation. It's simply because of many factors that I will not become a partner with anyone. Therefore, I will not accept your confession, neither now nor in the future."
The girl uttered these cruel words calmly.
Chu Yuanqing's personality has always been like this. He may be soft-hearted, he may feel guilty, he may be in a dilemma, or he may feel remorse. But as long as he realizes that there is a real problem, he never hesitates and will frankly state his true attitude.
This applies to everyone.
Even if she believes that Xie Qingxuan was the one she turned gay, if she were to directly approach him now, she would only get the same answer.
Kiriwake Yayoi as if she had fallen into an abyss. The light in her eyes dimmed, and compared to the pain of her first heartbreak, she felt a sense of emptiness, as if the sea was engulfing her.
But before the sorrow could overflow like a river, causing this Sakura Girl to burst into tears and pound the ground, she couldn't help but cry.
Chu Yuanqing's solemn expression flushed with shame. Like a nun whose skirt had been lifted by a strong wind, she struggled to maintain her piety and solemnity towards the divine, listening to the roar of her own dignity and morality crumbling. She pursed her lips and stammered:
"But... you can kiss me when I need it."
This incredibly audacious statement was precisely the core reason why she had firmly rejected Kiriwake Yayoi beforehand.
If you say this beforehand, it will be interpreted as accepting the confession and becoming a couple.
But as long as the relationship is clearly defined beforehand and the attitude is made clear, kissing is simply a matter of mutual benefit.
Yayoi could kiss her to satisfy her desires.
Chu Yuanqing needs to use Yayoi's kiss to test the Magic Replenishment mechanism, to see if the higher the quality of the target, the better the Magic Replenishment effect, and to calculate how many times mana needs to be replenished in order to achieve the ultimate goal of extending lifespan, unleashing power, and saving the world.
This was for her daughter's future, to keep her promise to Charlotte, and to prevent tragedy from breaking the order again, thus saving the civilization from impending doom.
Therefore, her moral values, personal preferences, adherence to beliefs and principles, and physical and spiritual purity are all things that can be sacrificed and discarded.
At the same time, this incredible statement almost instantly overwhelmed the sadness of a failed confession.
Kiriwake Yayoi was deeply shocked, her feelings extremely complicated. For a moment, she stood there stunned, speechless.
Although Xiao Qing had mentioned the keyword "[need]" before, she had always thought it was a slip of the tongue. Only now, after saying it aloud, did she realize just how suggestive and seductive the words were.
To be honest, even if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't made of neodymium copper, most girls would find it hard to resist Chu Yuanqing's kiss.
The supply and demand relationship of the word "need" is completely reversed when it comes to an exceptionally beautiful girl like Chu Yuanqing. Being "needed" by such a person in this way is a luxurious and special reward.
But the key point is...
Chu Yuanqing possessed a sacred and solemn aura, and was usually mature and serious. A layer of aloofness was always hidden in the depths of her eyes, like the eternally pure clouds in the sky. The "need" she spoke of and the atmosphere she exuded were two extremes.
The contrast is so stark that it's enough to ignite the deepest desires in people's hearts.
Kiriwake Yayoi's little head was a mess. She felt like she was going crazy. For a moment, her mind was filled with thoughts like "We can kiss, but we can only be friends," "What is our relationship? Lip-to-lip friendship," and a bunch of other random things.
But in the end, what overwhelmed all of this was the most primal desire and love.
Even if they aren't lovers, it doesn't matter. Even if the boundaries of their relationship are blurred, they're still happy. As long as they can get closer to Chu Yuanqing, as long as they are needed by him, as long as they aren't disliked or alienated, it doesn't matter how messy things are.
Kiriwake Yayoi's eyes reddened at the corners; she had long since stopped crying. Her cherry-pink pupils overflowed with youthful desire, and a blush spread across her pure and beautiful face. She glanced at Chu Yuanqing's lips, a dazed smile appearing on her face, and softly asked:
"Then... Xiao Qing, do you need me now?"
Chu Yuanqing felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this, and of course she would agree.
Currently, Yayoi is the closest to becoming Witch in the entire region. When she Magic Replenishment with her opponent, the difference between her and Liuli and Kiyohyun's Magic Replenishment effects is most obvious. She is an unavoidable experimental subject on the road to saving the world.
If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been able to say such shameful things.
Encouraged, Little Sakura no longer suppressed her thoughts. Her slender hand touched Chu Yuanqing's shoulder, her fingertips sliding down to his collarbone. Then, with a gentle push, she used the momentum of his body to push him down onto the bed, creating soft, ripples like spring snow.
Then they both bent down.
The soft flesh closest to the heart, separated only by two thin layers of fabric, seemed to be playing a game of elasticity as their breaths mingled, gradually pressing closer and snuggling together as their temperatures drew nearer.
Chu Yuanqing was getting anxious. She had only agreed to kiss him, not to do that kind of thing, okay?
Although... although other methods could most likely increase Magic Replenishment efficiency again, it's absolutely not okay, that would be too strange, so it's absolutely not an option!
At this moment, a soft, moist touch pecked at her delicate neck, and the sweet scent of a young girl filled her nostrils, especially alluring amidst her slightly rapid breathing.
Kiriwake Yayoi very soft. When she is pressed against you, you feel only warmth and softness. She has a perfect balance between flesh and bone. This wonderful touch is the result of her day and night dance training, an extremely balanced diet, and a touch of innate talent.
