Chapter 38: Oops, totally defeated
Seriously!!!
What did her sister say?
He spoke as if he was about to enter the bridal chamber with Ning Anran. Does she look that hungry?
"Well, the host has a little bit."
"I...I didn't!"
"Tongtong, not everyone is as shy as you. I am a very innocent girl."
"Pure Love, understand?"
"Would you like some ginger tea?"
"After being caught in the rain outside, it's better to have a drink."
Ning Anran skillfully covered Gu Xia's hair with a towel and gently brushed away the water droplets on her body.
Gu Xia felt soft-hearted when she heard the tone of coaxing the child, and she responded subconsciously.
"Okay, I want to drink."
"Ning Anran, remember to add a little more sugar. I'm afraid it's a bit spicy."
Hearing that she was afraid of spicy food, Ning Anran took the towel with her fingers and placed it in the crook of her arm.
"I know."
What's with this inexplicable smile? Ning Anran is really being too unfair.
Does the heroine know how beautiful she is?!
The air conditioner in the bedroom had been turned up high. Gu Xia even had the illusion that Ning Anran was the owner of this place, and she was just a guest.
She was really...well taken care of by Ning Anran.
She raised her hand and tied up her black hair. Ning Anran walked to the tea-making area very skillfully and took out the ginger and sugar that she had prepared early in the morning.
"Hey, hey, hey, host, what's with this inexplicably complacent feeling you're starting to enjoy?"
"Our main goal now is to raise the heroine's negative favorability to positive!"
The system began to issue reminders about its host's "enjoyment" attitude.
"Oh my god, I would have forgotten everything if you hadn't told me! I still have a mission to complete, so I have to be extra nice to Ning Anran!"
"Thank you, Tongtong. I'm here to present you with a Three Good System Award Certificate."
Gu Xia quickly slipped to Ning Anran's side and watched Ning Anran's skillful movements in making tea.
She stretched out her fingers and placed them on the table, but she was afraid to disturb Ning Anran's concentration.
"What are you doing here? Do you want some tea?"
"I'm afraid it will have to wait a while."
"Let me wash your favorite spoon first."
What's with the tone of voice he uses to coax a kindergarten kid? Gu Xia's fingers shot forward and hooked onto the corner of Ning Anran's clothes.
Her tone was particularly pitiful.
"Ning Anran, let me do it."
"You gave me your coat again today and got caught in the rain outside."
"Let me make you some ginger tea."
The second young lady, who knew nothing, said she wanted to make tea for herself. Ning Anran was stunned. She thought seriously for a second. Has Gu Xia really made ginger tea since she was a child?
"You know these?"
The Second Young Lady has always been very concerned about her reputation. Even though Ning Anran did not believe in Gu Xia's methods in her heart, she did not completely deny Gu Xia's "spur of the moment" wish to help her.
"Won't."
Gu Xia shook her head slightly disappointedly. She had never cooked for anyone before. Not even her dear sister had received such treatment.
Thinking about it this way, it was reasonable for Gu Lindong to call himself a "heartless person" outside the villa just now.
"Ning Anran, but... I can learn."
"Will you teach me?"
Isn't it just making tea? She doesn't believe that this place can be blown up?
"It's not that scary, host."
"As your dear system, our primary mission is to prevent you, the host, from dying due to such a simple mistake!"
"Want to learn?"
Ning Anran gave up the seat in front of him, and Gu Xia immediately understood and got in.
The fragrance from her body penetrated into Ning Anran's nostrils. The smell was exactly the same as what he had smelled before.
Strangely, her favorite perfume seemed to have become much more elegant these days. It wasn't as eye-catching as before, and it didn't make her frown when she smelled it.
Moreover, there was a lot of smell of alcohol on Gu Xia.
Ning Anran knew that they had always had a good time at the Academy of Fine Arts and would often go out together to drink, play games and find inspiration.
There were many times when she came to pick up Gu Xia, and Gu Xia was drunk and unconscious.
There were even a few times when he vomited directly on her.
Gu Xia looked at the simple tableware in front of her, and recalled the hard life she had lived in the rental house in the second half of this melodramatic Mary Sue novel.
Isn't it just making tea? It's so easy!
But as soon as she raised her hand, Ning Anran's fingers grasped the back of her hand.
"Don't hold it directly like this, it's very hot."
In order to make it easier to teach Gu Xia, Ning Anran bent her whole body, and her slightly cold face was pressed against Gu Xia's hot cheek.
Gu Xia stood there and forgot that his main task was to make a cup of ginger tea for Ning Anran.
For some unknown reason, Gu Xia didn't know how he finished this cup of ginger tea.
Gu Xia didn’t have the nerve to say that he cooked it himself.
"Don't you want to drink what you made yourself?"
Ning Anran took the delicate little soup spoon, blew on it near her red lips, and then handed it to Gu Xia's mouth.
The scent of ginger spread, not pleasant, but not unpleasant either.
But on this rainy night, Gu Xia felt warm in her heart and her stomach.
"You drink first..." Before she could finish the word, a spoon was stuffed into Gu Xia's red lips. Ning Anran felt relieved when she saw her take a sip.
"No, you cooked this yourself."
"At least you should take the first sip."
I wish I could actually cook this myself.
How could Ning Anran be so good at coaxing people?! Even better than her dear sister!
"Congratulations, host. The heroine's favorability value +1."
Gu Xia: ???
Why does Ning Anran always seem to favor me in these strange places?!
"Want more to drink? I'll continue feeding the Second Miss."
With his back resting on the platform behind him, Gu Xia always felt that he was firmly trapped by Ning Anran in this position.
"I... want to drink."
Of course you can’t say no!
Ning Anran finally cleared up many of her grudges against me tonight, but I can't let all my efforts go to waste just because of one sentence.
"Then drink it all."
"Gu Xia."
Unlike when others called his name, Gu Xia always felt that half of his body went numb when Ning Anran called his name.
Is she exactly like the licentious and ruthless emperor described in those novels?
All kinds of unspeakable plots were flying around in Gu Xia's mind at this moment. In order to understand the structure of the novel world, Gu Xia had been reading a lot of novels in the past few days.
Of course, without exception, they were either unable to sleep due to being irritated by all the melodramatic plots, or their eyes were swollen from being abused and they couldn't sleep all night.
Ning Anran was so close to her that it felt like she would kiss her in the next second.
But...if Ning Anran wants to kiss her, it's not impossible.
Ning Anran is so beautiful, and kissing her is really comfortable and gentle.
Unconsciously, his throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Gu Xia felt that he was a little addicted to this feeling.
The feeling of being... kissed by Ning Anran.
