Our Game Is a Little Too Adult for You to Watch

"Xinbao, what kind of game do you want to play? I can recommend the most popular games in every category. I guarantee they'll be fun."

Wu Xi still naively thought Xin Lan wanted to play video games. He even opened his wristband, planning to recommend games to her category by category.

Without so much as looking, Xin Lan ordered him to take off his shirt.

Wu Xi didn't understand why he had to take his clothes off to play a game, but he obediently did as he was told.

"How many push-ups can you do in an hour?"

Xin Lan motioned for him to get down, then sat on his back and chuckled. "I ran into Yun Jin at the gym just now. Guess how many he can do?"

"His record is 3,500 in an hour," Wu Xi answered.

He had never felt much hostility toward Yun Jin, because Yun Jin had never competed for her as fiercely as the others had, and had even expressed doubts about Xin Lan on several occasions.

But for Xin Lan to suddenly mention Yun Jin at a time like this, and use him to spur Wu Xi on, Yun Jin had clearly said something to her.

He couldn't help reading into it.

So is Yun Jin planning to secretly compete with us for Xinbao behind our backs now too?

While Wu Xi was brainstorming, Xin Lan opened her wristband and saw Xuan Jia's friend request.

Good grief. It hadn't been that long, and he had already sent at least a hundred messages with his requests.

Xin Lan accepted his friend request and continued talking to Wu Xi.

"Here's what we'll do. Since Yun Jin said he's better than all three of you, we'll play a push-up game tonight."

"Do 3,000 push-ups with me on your back like this. If you finish within an hour, we'll kiss for five minutes. If you finish within forty minutes, we'll take a bath together. How about it?"

"Really?"

Wu Xi felt as though the pie that had suddenly fallen from the sky had hit him so hard his head was buzzing. He was so excited he nearly stood straight up.

After moving, he remembered Xin Lan was still on his back and hurriedly lowered himself again.

"Do we start now?"

Xin Lan looked down at Xuan Jia's video call request on her wristband, then nodded with a smile.

"Mm, start. Fuxi, time him."

"All right, Guide Xin Lan. The countdown has started."

Fuxi responded, and a one-hour countdown immediately appeared on the ceiling. Wu Xi was thrilled and immediately threw himself into doing push-ups.

A bath together!

And five minutes of kissing!

Either reward was enough to wind him up with excitement. He even felt it wasn't impossible to finish in half an hour. He had never been in better form!

However, before he had even completed 500, Xin Lan suddenly answered a video call.

A huge screen of light immediately projected the figure on the other end.

Still excited, Wu Xi glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. His pupils shook violently, and he nearly stopped.

Damn! What's going on!?

Why is Xinbao video-calling Xuan Jia while she's playing a game with me? And why isn't Xuan Jia wearing a shirt? Isn't he the most traditional old fuddy-duddy of the younger generation!?

So what does this mean?

Is Xinbao deliberately using Xuan Jia to provoke me, making things harder so I'll give up the reward?

Sweat gradually beaded on Wu Xi's forehead, and his body, which had gone nearly forty hours without sleep, was also a little tired. But not only did he refuse to stop, he became even more determined.

No! I have to finish within forty minutes!

If Xuan Jia still won't hang up by then, I'll carry Xinbao straight to the bathroom right in front of him!

Hmph! That'll teach him to take his clothes off and seduce Xinbao!

He'll be furious!

"Guide Xin Lan, what... what are you doing?"

Xuan Jia was clearly just as stunned.

He had waited so long that the flowers had all wilted. Regret and resentment had so overwhelmed him that he'd wanted to take an airship to K9 District to find her immediately. He had never expected to see this scene when the video call connected.

Xin Lan was still in her room, wearing the same outfit she had worn during their earlier video call. But now she had taken off her shoes and socks and was sitting barefoot on the back of Wu Xi, the commander of K9 District's North Tower. Her body kept rising and falling with his movements.

The room was so quiet that he could even hear the sounds Wu Xi made from exertion as he did push-ups.

The sounds were faint and discreet, yet for no apparent reason they felt impossible to ignore, piercing his ears and his heart.

"We're just playing a game, Administrator. What's with that expression?"

His ugly expression succeeded in pleasing Xin Lan.

She was in a very good mood now and even offered him a way out.

"By the way, Administrator, was there something urgent you needed to video-call me about? It's so late, and you're calling me in such a state of undress. My guard sentinel could easily misunderstand."

Wu Xi, huffing and puffing through his push-ups: !

Boo-hoo-hoo! I'm so touched!

Xinbao is actually worried I'll misunderstand!

I knew Xinbao had me in her heart!

It's all that damned Xuan Jia's fault. What kind of administrator is he? He doesn't uphold male virtue at all! Taking his clothes off in the middle of the night to video-call Xinbao and seduce her!

He's already the administrator of District K1. Aren't there as many S-class guides there as he could want? Why does he have to come here half-naked and compete with us behind our backs?

How shameless!

Pah!

Tomorrow I have to tell everyone and condemn this brat's filthy, despicable behavior together!

"Xin Lan... I know I was wrong. Please don't draw such a clear line between us, all right?"

Xuan Jia had gradually regained his composure after his initial shock and astonishment.

He now understood why Xin Lan was doing this.

She was definitely using Wu Xi to make him angry, to show him that she didn't have to have him and that she had plenty of other people to choose from.

She wanted him to take the initiative and yield.

Then he would yield.

As long as it made her happy.

"What can I do to make you happy and forget what happened before? Xin Lan, please tell me. I can do anything."

She hadn't deleted him for long, but it had been enough time for Xuan Jia to think everything through.

Xin Lan could do without him, but he couldn't do without Xin Lan.

So no matter how badly Xin Lan treated him, he had to accept it.

Even in an incredibly awkward situation like this one.

"Really? Anything?"

Xin Lan raised an eyebrow and teased, "You don't need me to take responsibility anymore?"

"Mm."

Xuan Jia nodded firmly, but his two hands gripped the edge of the table so tightly from nervousness that his fingertips turned white. "So, Xin Lan, what should I do?"

Wu Xi's rocking had made Xin Lan a little sleepy.

She yawned, her finger unconsciously tracing a slow circle on Wu Xi's back.

The sudden tingling itch made Wu Xi shudder all over, and he nearly lost his strength and collapsed to the floor.

His overly sensitive reaction caught Xin Lan's attention, and she immediately lost interest in Xuan Jia, who was so far away.

"Forget it. I don't need you to do anything today. Go do whatever you need to do."

With that, she raised her hand to end the call.

Xuan Jia's heart jolted. He immediately stood up and called out to stop her, his voice so urgent that there was even a hint of pleading in it.

"Don't hang up, Xin Lan. I want to look at you a little longer, just for a while."

Xin Lan glanced at the countdown on the ceiling and hesitated. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Our game is a little too adult. It probably isn't suitable for you to watch."

Xuan Jia's face went pale in an instant. He didn't even hear the mockery in her words.

"A-adult?"

Does she mean the kind of adult I'm thinking of?

"That's right. It's only been a little over thirty minutes, and Wu Xi has almost finished 3,000 push-ups."

Smiling, Xin Lan leaned sideways against Wu Xi's shoulder and stroked the white fur on this silly bear's head as she explained.

"I already promised him that if he finished 3,000 push-ups within forty minutes, I'd take a bath with him. Administrator, I think it would be better if you didn't watch that. What do you think?"
