A Naive, Easily Fooled Tangerine

Sigrika's pupils dilated instantly.

Her mind was as if it had been formatted; all the details of the otome game process, the affection system, and the conditions for unlocking special CGs had turned into a blank white light.

She froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, the temperature from her lips like a fire that burned away all her ability to think.

Kexi kissed her once and then let go, looking down at her ecstatic expression, and added another blow, "Your lips are so soft."

"Sigrika, I love you. Let's get married. I want to stay by your side and walk together from the past into tomorrow."

Sigrika's face wasn't just red, it was burning hot. She opened her mouth, uttering a muffled syllable, and swayed as if she were about to burst into smoke.

Kexi knew the time had come.

While her brain was still rebooting, I immediately took action.

He first rolled up her sleeves, then touched her collarbone, and even pulled her collar out two inches.

Sigrika was dazed and completely forgot to resist; she only instinctively shrank her neck.

"Why... why are you going through my clothes..." Her voice was light and airy, as if it were drifting from a great distance.

"I'm taking advantage of you, oh no..."

I'm looking for your Tacet Mark.

Kexi didn't even look up; her movements were quick and urgent.

Sigrika blushed, twisting her fingers around the hem of her skirt, and muttered softly, "My Tacet Mark... is on my lower back."

Kexi's eyes lit up instantly.

Without saying a word, he went around behind her, squatted down, and lifted the hem of her short skirt to reveal a small section of her waistline.

A clear Tacet Mark mark is visible on the lower back.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kexi lowered her head and pressed her lips directly against his.

Sigrika shuddered, her toes tensing.

The sensation from her lower back felt like an electric current, shooting up her spine to the top of her head and making her see a flash of white light.

Her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand. She could only hold onto the wall next to her with her hands, letting out a short gasp.

[Ding, Resonance Synchronization -- Sigrika.]

[Task 2 Progress Update: 9/12.]

Kexi straightened up, and just as he was about to say something to consolidate his gains, a series of rapid roller skate sounds came from the alley entrance.

He turned his head and saw Lynae standing ten steps away, looking like a female ghost who had just emerged from an ice cellar. The chill emanating from her body had even caused a layer of frost to form on the moss in the corner of the wall.

Her gaze moved from Kexi's face to Sigrika's bright red ear tips, then to the hem of her skirt that was still partially lifted, and finally back to Kexi's face, which was filled with the word "it's all over".

"What are you doing?!" Lynae's voice came like ice spikes, each strike carrying real destructive power.

Without hesitation, Kexi turned and ran.

Behind him came Sigrika's scream as she finally came to her senses, and Lynae's roar that could almost freeze the air.

Kexi ran even faster than before, her legs seemed to be equipped with electric motors, and her shoes were almost sparking.

As he turned the corner of the alley, he didn't forget to turn back and shout something.

"Sigrika! I'm sorry!! I'll give you some tape."

Pay attention to details.

It's tape.

It's not an explanation.

Lynae rushed over on her roller skates and came to a sudden stop against the wall.

She grabbed Sigrika's shoulders and examined her carefully from head to toe, her expression as if her own cabbage had just been eaten by a wild boar.

"Sigrika! That bastard! What did he do to you?"

Sigrika was still leaning against the wall, the blush on her face not yet faded, making her look like a boiled shrimp.

Upon hearing Lynae's question, she subconsciously touched her lips with her finger and blinked her watery eyes twice.

"He... he kissed me."

After saying those three words, her face flushed red again. She shrank back, covered her face with her hands, and peeked at Lynae's reaction through her fingers, thinking, "Is this something I can say? It's so embarrassing!"

Lynae's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

She pointed in the direction Kexi had fled, her fingers trembling. "That bastard, he even lied to Sigrika!"

She spun around in anger, the wheels of her roller skates screeching on the floor. "How could you let a stranger kiss and hug you like that? Where's your vigilance? Where's your awareness of scams? What did our teacher tell us before we left home? There are a lot of bad people in Ragunna!"

Sigrika peeked half her face through her fingers, her voice barely audible, "Actually, he's not exactly a stranger."

Lynae's anger faltered for half a second. "What about him? Do you even know him? Have you ever met him? Do you even know his name?"

"His name is Kexi, and he's the young master of the Montelli Family," Sigrika answered earnestly, then lowered her head, twisting her fingers around the hem of her skirt, her voice tinged with a hint of coyness. "And he's the one who's been writing to me. Although I've never met him, I've known him for a long time."

Lynae felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of water.

Her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and it took her several seconds to find her voice. "What? He wrote to you too?"

Her voice was blaring, echoing through the alley. Sigrika was startled, shrinking back half a step and looking at Lynae in confusion.

"What do you mean by 'repay'?" Sigrika grasped the key point.

Lynae's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

She took the letter out of her purse and held it tightly in her hand. Because she squeezed it so hard, the envelope developed new creases.

Sigrika stared at the familiar envelope, her eyes slowly widening.

Then she took out her own letter from her small bag. The two envelopes were placed together and were exactly the same.

Sigrika's mind went blank.

Her romantic mind was abruptly shut down in that instant. Her pupils reflected the two letters side by side. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, finally managing to squeeze out only two words.

"That's a lie."

Lynae gritted her teeth, stuffed the letter into her pocket, and the sound of her roller skates grinding across the ground was as sharp and cold as a blade scraping against glass.

"That bastard, writing letters to so many people, and he even dared to kiss you!" She grabbed Sigrika's wrist, her eyes gleaming with coldness. "Chase him! Today he has to eat every single letter! Eat until he's full!"

"Exactly! That's outrageous! How could they deceive someone as innocent as me!"

Sigrika was filled with righteous indignation.

"He just said he wanted to marry me, and I still believed him."

"That's outrageous!"

"Scumbag!"

"Abnormal!"

"Dirty!"

Lupa had just shaken off Selina's advances and caught up when, by sheer coincidence, she witnessed this scene.

She scratched her head.

It seems, it appears, that their team tasked with attacking Kexi has inexplicably gained another member?
