[Crude language!]
[Vulgar! So vulgar! Please, by all means, give us more comments like that!]
[Isn't this supposed to be a family-friendly horror livestream? How can it be so lewd! I immediately sent a tip!]
[Wait, what's up with Da Xiong? Why did he keep these thoughts bottled up for so long, only to suddenly become so frank now?]
[Newbie, go check the status bar above the streamer's equipment bar. He used a truth serum on Aunt Mei.]
[Whoa, the truth serum's effects are this explosive?]
[Sure]
[Please, by all means, give us some exciting shows]
[Waiting for an exciting show]
[Waiting]
Hearing Lin Xuemei's utterly unreserved confession, Wen Nan smiled.
So that was it?
So the ups and downs in the mission completion rate hadn't been because she'd suddenly resisted Wen Nan getting close to her. On the contrary, it was because she'd wanted him to come closer too badly?
Deep down, she'd felt that desire, but also felt guilty, angry, and ashamed of herself for harboring it?
Looking back, the first drop in the completion rate had happened by the kitchen sink. Lin Xuemei had recalled Ye Jiu and Qiqi's childhood, and when she mentioned Ye Jiu hugging Qiqi and saying, "You're mine," a faint shadow had crossed her brow.
It seemed Lin Xuemei had suddenly realized then that Ye Jiu and Qiqi were childhood friends, that Qiqi was the one he loved, and that she was the one who truly suited him. As his aunt, she ought to act like an elder, quietly watching over them as the young couple eventually came together, then offering them her blessing.
Not crossing the line as she was now, driven by her innermost desires to do things that went beyond her principles.
Desire and morality had tugged at Lin Xuemei from opposite sides, sending her emotions swinging up and down. That, in turn, had affected Wen Nan's mission completion rate, making it rise and fall as well.
Now Wen Nan had used Truth Serum to force Lin Xuemei to voice her true feelings. There was no going back.
9527:[Truth Serum remains in effect. Time remaining: 12s...]
9527:[Truth Serum remains in effect. Time remaining: 11s...]
9527:[Truth Serum remains in effect. Time remaining: 10s...]
Now that things had reached this point, the answer to his romantic strategy lay right in front of him. He had no reason to refuse.
Wen Nan chuckled and raised a hand to rub Lin Xuemei's earlobe.
Fresh from her bath, her earlobe felt damp, smooth, delicate, and soft. It carried a faint milky scent from her body wash.
"Okay."
Wen Nan whispered in Lin Xuemei's ear:
"Go see if the kids are asleep. When I'm done showering, I'll come find you?"
With that, Wen Nan stood up from the sofa and started toward the bathroom. But Lin Xuemei suddenly raised a hand, gripped his arm, and pulled him back hard.
Wen Nan was caught off guard. He stumbled backward, pitching forward and almost toppling onto Lin Xuemei's chest.
He instinctively stretched out both arms, bracing them on the sofa on either side of Lin Xuemei's head and enclosing her in front of him.
Their faces were so close that their noses nearly touched. From this angle, Wen Nan could clearly see the tiny downy hairs on Lin Xuemei's cheek, glistening with little droplets of water from the bathroom. She looked like a ripe peach just kissed by the rain.
"What's wrong?" Wen Nan asked, realizing his voice had gone a little hoarse.
Two blushes bloomed on Lin Xuemei's fair, dewy cheeks. She gazed straight into Wen Nan's eyes, her expression shy, but her words were direct:
"No need to shower. I like you better like this. It has more of a... flavor."
Wen Nan paused, then smiled with a hint of helplessness. "All right."
He lowered his arms, wrapping one around Lin Xuemei's slick shoulder while slipping the other beneath her thigh to scoop her up.
The Attribute Trial Card from the roulette draw had maxed out his stats. Wen Nan's strength, armor, agility, and charm were all at their limits now. He lifted Lin Xuemei with ease, as if she were a kitten.
"To the guest room? The little bed?" Wen Nan asked.
Lin Xuemei rested her head near his shoulder and honestly nodded. "Mm..."

Wen Nan carried Lin Xuemei toward the guest room. Just as they reached the door, a flurry of system notifications rang in his mind.
9527:[Truth Serum remains in effect. Time remaining: 2s...]
9527:[Truth Serum remains in effect. Time remaining: 1s...]
9527:[Truth Serum effect has ended. Please be advised.]
The moment the drug wore off, the person in his arms began to struggle.
Her slender waist twisted as Lin Xuemei raised a hand and gripped Wen Nan's arm tightly, her voice full of panic. "Xiao Jiu, we can't... do this..."
She broke off halfway through.
As she struggled, the thin bath towel wrapped around her slipped to the floor...

On the light screen at the respawn point, the main mission countdown kept ticking.
[08:00:59--]
[08:00:58--]
[08:00:57--]
Meanwhile, the chat in Nine Times a Night's livestream never stopped cursing, scolding, urging, and waiting.
Even with the stream blocked, its popularity somehow remained sky-high.
[...]
[It still hasn't come back]
[It's already noon]
[Twelve hours have passed...]
[Seriously, can someone really last that long?]
[Nine Times a Night really lives up to his name...]
[Are they ever going to reopen the stream?]
[Are they going to keep it blocked until the mission timer runs out?]
[Come on, there's still Little Chili. Is the big shot Jiu Cilang not going to go after her?]
[There's barely any time left, and the stream still isn't back. That means he's still in bed. Even if he jumps up now, washes up, gets dressed, heads out, goes back to school, finds Little Chili, figures out her deepest hidden desire, and fulfills it, there's no way he'll make it in time...]
[I told you not to get caught up in it. Once you fall into the gentle embrace, you can't get out]
[We're done for]
[Feels like it's over]
[I just want to know if they're ever going to bring this stream back. Are they really not going to show us even a scrap?]
