Chapter 39 - "Seducing Him"

'Zhao Yang is someone with a high sense of responsibility. If he realizes he makes a mistake when under the aphrodisiac effect, he will still take responsibility.'

Xuan Lincheng gulped.

'He might make a marriage contract with me or something. Not to mention if I'm pregnant…'

Xuan Lincheng's eyes brightened.

'Then it will be easy for me to stay beside him! About his feelings toward me, I can slowly cultivate our love as long as I can stay near him.'

Xuan Lincheng giggled. The girl then looked at her AI and spoke in her mind,

[Hey, why don't we make use of this aphrodisiac?]

'I don't know who drugs him, but this is like a pie falling from the sky!

[W-what do you mean, milady– ]

[I'll meet him and make that guy lay his hand on me.] Xuan Lincheng tugged the corner of her lips.

'This is such a brilliant idea!'

[W-what?!] Bunnie was so surprised that she almost fainted on the spot.

'Milady wants to seduce Zhao Yang?!'

[N-no, milady, t-that is dangerous– ]

[Ah, shut up!] Xuan Lincheng glared at the bunny. [Just say that you are too afraid to make a move. Ha! A coward.]

Xuan Lincheng crossed her arms in front of her chest and snorted.

She suddenly recalled Lai Jiayi's taunting before, and she got riled up. [I'm not a coward like you, useless. I'll show you all that I'm not a coward!]

Xuan Lincheng tightened her fists and looked at Bunnie with a scornful gaze.

[If you want to stop me, then go. I don't need you.]

BA-THUMP.

Bunnie lowered her head. The rabbit shuddered before nodding. [A-alright, I'll wait outside then…]

The rabbit then opened the door and just floated outside, without waiting for Xuan Lincheng's permission.

Seeing the rabbit just went out without care, Xuan Lincheng harrumphed.

"Coward." The girl flipped her hair and strode to the living room.

'If I can do this right, I might raise my barometer by a lot. Then, I can win the game! Wait, no, maybe Zhao Yang can even help my brother before the game company could.'

Xuan Lincheng subconsciously rubbed her nails as she felt her heart was pounding fast.

'Alright, calm down. I should go to the bedroom...or just wait here?'

Xuan Lincheng didn't think about the fact that Tianjin would be able to cure Zhao Yang in no time. Her mind was muddled with her short-sighted desire to win the game using a shortcut.

'If I go to the bedroom, Zhao Yang might not open the door for me. But if I wait in the living room...God knows when he will come out.'

Xuan Lincheng silently rubbed her nails again when a notification sounded in her mind.

TING! [Otome game assistance activated!]

A pink transparent hologram board popped out with two sentences on it.

Go to the bedroom

Wait in the living room

10. 9. 8.

Xuan Lincheng furrowed and sighed.

'This assistance again. It doesn't even help me to raise my barometer!'

Xuan Lincheng inhaled deeply and was deep in thought.

'I don't think I will be allowed to go to his bedroom. I should just wait here.'

"I choose B, " Xuan Lincheng murmured, and the panel instantly disappeared, replaced with a timer.

TING! [You choose B. Wait in the living room. Please do so in 10 seconds.]

10. 9. 8.

Xuan Lincheng slowly sat on the floor in a kneeling position. The girl then straightened her back and waited patiently.

'Once Zhao Yang is out, I'll seduce him!'

While Xuan Lincheng was waiting outside, Zhao Yang was laying on his bed with his eyes closed. The guy covered his eyes with his right arm as he shook his bangle on his left wrist.

BIPPP

The huge glass window covering half of his bedroom slowly turned blurry. Now the lights coming from the city view down there just turned into colorful dots.

"Are you done?" Zhao Yang suddenly asked Tianjin. He looked at the swan with foggy eyes.

'My throat...hurts.'

The guy subconsciously touched his throat with his left hand. He gulped, and his adam apple went down. At this moment, the heat also burned his throat, making it as dry as Sahara Desert.

He felt like drinking as much as he could, but then, no matter how much he drank, it couldn't satisfy him. He was thirsty for another thing aside from beverage.

Tianjin paused. The swan looked at Zhao Yang with a slight fear in her eyes.

"I'm done, master. Here, please eat this." The swan threw a blue pill to Zhao Yang, and the guy immediately caught it with his right hand.

"Thanks…" Zhao Yang mumbled as he shoved the pill to his mouth. He didn't hesitate to swallow it.

Tianjin, who was watching all of this, slowly floated toward the man's pillow. She stared at Zhao Yang's face and softly asked,

"How is it, master? Are you feeling better? You might still show symptoms in a while even after we detoxify the drug."

"..." Zhao Yang didn't answer for a few seconds. The guy just closed his eyes and slowly lowered his right arm. His arm fell to the bed with a plop.

"Mmm...I don't know what I feel," Zhao Yang murmured in a raspy voice.

The pill had successfully entered the man's body, and it slowly cooled down the heat inside.

The man's lower part slowly turned limp, and it didn't have any reaction anymore. He gradually stopped sweating a lot, and his throat also felt better.

Zhao Yang inhaled and exhaled a few times, and he found out that he could breathe normally now. His chest didn't feel like it's about to burst out anymore.

"...I guess the antidote works."

'But my face is still hot.'
