System: Master Your Life-Chapter 513 - 121: Xia Xiyao’s Initiative, Departure for the Launch Ceremony_3
Xia Xiyao just watched Xu Lin workout here, and after half an hour, Xu Lin finally finished.
By this time, he was already drenched in sweat.
"I’m going to take a shower."
"Oh, oh."
Xia Xiyao’s eyes darted around, who knows what she was thinking.
As Xu Lin was showering, after about half a minute, the bathroom door opened.
To her surprise, Xia Xiyao walked in naked, covering the crucial parts of her body, her face flushed, and she didn’t dare to meet Xu Lin’s eyes.
Xu Lin was stunned for a moment.
"How about... I help you shower? I’ve heard you guys just rinse with water, which might not be clean..."
Xia Xiyao stammered, and near the end, she was practically incoherent.
"Sure, you can help me shower."
Honestly, Xia Xiyao’s excuse was pretty lame.
Xia Xiyao’s figure was no less than Rong Xiyi’s, and even had some more outstanding features; both women had their unique charms.
Now that Xia Xiyao took the initiative, Xu Lin wouldn’t pretend to be reserved, as following human nature was one of his ultimate life principles.
She nodded, and Xia Xiyao shyly walked over.
She had Xu Lin sit down, blushing as she applied body wash on his back and used a bath brush to scrub him.
Actually, bathing and scrubbing are two different concepts; Southern people usually haven’t scrubbed much, so there would be dirt on their body, and a slight scrub would reveal it.
Luckily, Xu Lin had no dirt on him and was quite clean.
"You’re so clean, I thought there’d be dirt."
"I usually make sure to scrub clean, alright?"
Xu Lin laughed, saying, "Why is your courage so big today?"
"I don’t think so..."
"Still denying when you’re already naked, what’s on your mind?"
"Nothing."
"Come on, tell me, you must be thinking something."
"I... I... it’s just that you bought me clothes yesterday, I feel like I took too much."
"That’s all? So you’re trying to repay me?"
Xu Lin couldn’t help but chuckle, "It’s really not much money, you and Yanyan, average thirty-seven thousand, thirty-seven thousand, it’s really not much. To be blunt, with your looks and figure, you’d easily earn tens of millions or even more if you put yourself out there for a year; top beauties are sought after by big shots, kept as golden canaries, earning a lot in a year."
Of course, Xu Lin’s words were not absolute, because for pretty women to fetch a high price, there needs to be someone to bridge the gap, an intermediary. Without one, there’s demand without supply. True beauties belong in the upper echelon.
Of course, by "true beauties," he wasn’t talking about those on short video platforms using beauty filters.
"Ah, I don’t want that, and besides, even if I were a canary, I’d only want to be yours..."
Xia Xiyao’s voice grew softer and softer.
Xu Lin heard her clearly.
"I’m just kidding; everyone has their own life, and everyone has the right to fully flourish."
"Then, can I be with you in the future?"
"Let’s change the topic."
"Oh, oh."
Xia Xiyao bit her lip.
Not long after, she picked up the showerhead and rinsed the bubbles off Xu Lin’s body.
Showering is bound to be a moment of complete honesty.
"How can Xiyi endure this?" Xia Xiyao murmured, seeing Xu Lin in full daylight for the first time.
Xia Xiyao was taken aback, suddenly recalling that Rong Xiyi said Xu Lin liked her to swallow certain things most.
Xia Xiyao made up her mind.
So when Xu Lin stood up, Xia Xiyao steeled herself and knelt down.
She certainly knew what to do; with the internet being so advanced these days, who hasn’t watched a few films?
In this era, there’s no such thing as a pure-hearted person anymore. Even kids can easily access all sorts of trashy information.
Bang!
Soon, Xu Lin was driven wild by Xia Xiyao’s teasing.
Human nature inherently favors the new over the old, and while Xu Lin doesn’t tire of the old, there’s no avoiding the allure of the new.
So, Xia Xiyao found herself pressed against the wall by him.
"Xu Lin, should we... go back to the room?"
Xia Xiyao was in a panic, with Xu Lin poised to strike, she had no way out, and she had already considered this step.
"Okay."
"The clothes..."
"Got it. Got them."
Soon after, Xu Lin carried her out of the bathroom, not even bothering to dry off the droplets from the shower, returning to Xia Xiyao’s room. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Closed the door, locked it.
"Is Xiyi about to wake up?" Xia Xiyao felt anxious, unsure of what to do if caught in the act.
"It’s the weekend; she gets up at ten."
"Does this mean we’re betraying her?"
"You already were when you asked that question. Why worry about such details?"
"Ah, true, I guess." Xia Xiyao finally felt a bit of relief from her guilt.
Everyone needs a way to step back.
On one side is her close friend; on the other is the person she likes.
She wants both.
Even though she’s anxious, Xia Xiyao’s inner voice tells her: Happiness must be pursued with effort!
Time: Just past eight.
Eighteen-year-old Xia Xiyao completed her ultimate life transformation on this very bed.
It was uncomfortable at first, but then it was okay.
Xu Lin didn’t unleash all his might but was rather cautious. First, because Xu Lin was new to Xia Xiyao, it was impossible to go all out from the start, lest she got hurt; second, too much noise could wake Rong Xiyi up.
Finally, with only just over an hour, Xu Lin felt that’s not quite enough. To use an inappropriate metaphor, it was like being halfway through a poop, quite unsatisfying.
"Can I call you ’brother’ from now on?"
Xia Xiyao asked weakly.
"Sure."
Xu Lin thought, it’s just a title after all.
"Brother."
