What Kind of Woman Do You Like?

"Shen Linlin, what's wrong with you? Are you really jealous of a little girl?"

Shen Lang was so exasperated he laughed, reminding her bluntly, "If you want to call me that, go ahead. I'm your own brother—there's nothing shameful about saying 'big brother.'"

"Go die, Old Bastard!"

Shen Linlin's face flushed red, and she couldn't find the words to argue back.

Unable to take it anymore, she lifted her foot and kicked at Shen Lang, but he dodged with a grin. "Take it easy on the road. Don't bother your brother for nothing from now on."

After seeing the two sisters off in a Didi car, Shen Lang walked to the Landlady's door and rang the doorbell.

"Big Brother Shen!"

The one who opened the door was still the lively and adorable Xia Mengmeng. She raised her hands high, tilted her cute little face up, and hopped up and down, asking Shen Lang to pick her up.

"Where's your mom?"

Shen Lang cradled the little girl in one arm and pinched her cheek as he asked.

"Mom's cooking."

The little girl giggled, showing off her cute baby teeth.

"Xiao Shen, you came just in time."

Xia Shuyi walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish, a bright smile on her face. "I just finished cooking. Wash your hands and come eat. You can look at the computer later."

Xia Shuyi wore a white gauze dress, her fair skin faintly visible through it, and her full chest strained the slightly loose fabric.

The weather was hot today, and Xia Shuyi had been busy in the kitchen for so long that fine beads of sweat had formed on her pale neck. A few strands of hair clung to her forehead and the sides of her neck, exuding an irresistible charm.

This look—drenched in sweat, cheeks slightly flushed, hair slightly tousled—was enough to make anyone's heart race.

"Thanks for the hospitality, Sister Xia."

Shen Lang smiled and nodded. After washing his hands, he went to the living room to eat. The little girl carried her cartoon stool over and sat beside him.

[Ding! Xia Shuyi's Favorability toward the host has increased by 10 points, currently at 60 points. Keep up the good work!]

With the system's help and prompts, Shen Lang managed to raise Xia Shuyi's Favorability by another 10 points.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was incredibly harmonious. To Xia Shuyi, it felt especially like a family, and she loved this sense of fulfillment.

After the meal, the two of them washed dishes in the kitchen.

The little girl watched cartoons on the living room sofa, occasionally bursting into laughter and rolling around on the cushions.

Xia Shuyi really enjoyed this warm atmosphere. Having a man in the house gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"Xiao Shen, I remember you're twenty-four, right? You're not getting any younger—it's time to find a girlfriend."

While washing the dishes, Xia Shuyi stood even closer than last time. "Sister's curious—what kind of girl does a boy like you prefer?"

[1: I like older girls, the gentle and understanding type, someone like you, Sister Xia, who knows how to live well.]

[2: I like wild ones—the wilder the better. Looks and body have to pass muster too.]

[3: I like women with big waves. Don't get it twisted—that's two requirements: big chest and wild!]

"Maybe my personality just doesn't appeal to girls."

Shen Lang replied a bit sheepishly. "As for me, I'd prefer older girls, the gentle and understanding type—someone like you, Sister Xia, who knows how to live well."

"Sister, Sister's not as good as you say."

Xia Shuyi smiled modestly, but her face clearly showed delight. She hadn't expected Shen Lang's answer to be so direct.

The two of them continued washing dishes with awkward small talk.

Whether it was because her dishwashing movements were too big or she was deliberately hinting at Shen Lang, Xia Shuyi's elbow occasionally brushed lightly against Shen Lang's lower abdomen.

Every time Shen Lang turned to look at her, Xia Shuyi kept her head down, a shy, faint smile on her face.

After the dishes were done, Xia Shuyi led Shen Lang to the bedroom to fix the computer.

Before entering, Xia Shuyi nervously called out to the little girl in the living room, "Mengmeng, Big Brother Shen and I are going to fix the computer. You stay put and be good."

"Got it!"

The little girl responded without looking away, her attention fixed on the TV screen.

"I'm afraid it might not be the computer that gets fixed later."

Thinking back to Xia Shuyi's body language while washing the dishes, Shen Lang felt a restless heat and swallowed hard.

He calculated in his mind—if the Landlady came on strong and pressed herself against him, should he refuse? Or just lie back and take it? Or maybe take the initiative?

Just then, Shen Lang met Xia Shuyi's gaze as she walked toward him, her eyes full of shy, nervous anticipation.

In that instant, both of them instinctively looked away.

The atmosphere suddenly turned intimate. The sound of the cartoon in the living room became especially clear.

"Brother Bear, Baldy Qiang's cutting down trees again!"

Shen Lang was the first to clear his throat, breaking the awkward tension. "Sister Xia, which room is the computer in?"

"This one."

Xia Shuyi quickly responded, hurried over to open the bedroom door, and sat down in front of a desktop computer: "The computer was bought not long ago, and I haven't touched it in a few days. I was originally thinking of finding a movie to watch, but then it prompted me to download something. I don't know much about computers and was afraid of messing up, so I didn't dare download it. Little Shen, take a look."

As Xia Shuyi spoke, she turned on the computer, opened the website from yesterday, and clicked to play the video. A window popped up asking her to download Flash.

This problem was very common. Once the software in that pop-up was downloaded, the video could play normally.

Shen Lang was about to suggest the same thing, but unexpectedly, the system's options appeared again.

[1: Pretend not to know, take Xia Shuyi's hand, help her control the mouse, create an ambiguous atmosphere, and bring the two closer!]

[2: Tell her to download the software in the pop-up, and then the video will play normally!]

[3: Help her download the software, and ambiguously ask her what kind of adult movies she likes to watch!]

Xia Shuyi's Favorability toward Shen Lang had already reached a level where he could smoothly steer things toward some grown-up games.

Shen Lang felt that even if he chose option 3 to respond, he might still get some ambiguous, suggestive reply from Xia Shuyi.

With this level of Favorability, if it were another woman, maybe the moment he stepped into the room, she would have already pushed him onto the bed.

In essence, these three options were testing or reminding Shen Lang.

As a man, it was time to take the initiative in their interaction and make some "over-the-line" moves to close the distance between them.

Of course, if he chickened out, Shen Lang could naturally choose the second option to respond.

"I, let me take a look."

Shen Lang nervously swallowed his saliva and stepped forward a few paces until he stood behind Xia Shuyi.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lang bent down and took hold of Xia Shuyi's fair, jade-like hand that was gripping the mouse.

At that instant, both of their bodies trembled involuntarily.
