The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Two and a half hours later.

Xu Nian slumped on the sofa, her eyes sunken, her body limp as if she had no bones, she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand, she looked no different from a dried corpse.

He's truly beyond saving.

To sum it up in one sentence, it's like the friendship between gentlemen, which is as pure as water.

Xu Xi is too good at it; he knows exactly how to manipulate him.

After each encounter, the little succubus would never stay still. She would either whisper in his ear, gently caress his chest with her small hands, or change into a more alluring outfit, teasing him little by little, making his mind, which was about to calm down, restless again. His cerebellum completely overwhelmed his brain, and he simply couldn't stop.

I've heard that mechanical organs are incredibly advanced these days; robotic arms and hearts can replace human organs and work diligently.

He wished he could have an iron kidney so he could continuously withstand Xu Xi's demands and satisfy this insatiable little glutton.

On the other hand, the girl who had just taken advantage of him was flushed and slowly tidying up the mess around her. She showed no signs of fatigue and would occasionally tug at her collar, wink at him, and entice him to start another round.

"Little flame..." Xu Nian opened her mouth, her voice extremely weak. "Please spare me, I really can't go on."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi stopped what he was doing, slowly turned around, a teasing smile playing on his lips, his eyes full of cunning, but his tone was quite innocent.

"Spare you? I didn't force you to do anything; every single time, it was voluntary~"

Xu Nian wanted to cry but had no tears, yet she couldn't refute it.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed him who took the initiative every time.

What Xu Xi did was merely add fuel to the fire of his dying desire, causing it to rage again and burn him beyond recognition.

Seeing that the man had completely lost the strength to move, and even opening his eyes seemed difficult, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Xi's eyes.

After thoroughly cleaning up the mess, she walked over, bent down, easily picked up Xu Nian, carried him on her shoulder, and headed towards the bathroom, intending to give him a bath.

Xu Nian was being carried on her shoulder, her mind was hazy, but she instantly became mostly clear-headed. She struggled to break free from her embrace and, with her last bit of strength, pushed her out of the bathroom, her voice full of panic and resistance: "No, no, no, I can wash myself, I don't need your help."

He knew that this girl was definitely up to no good. She said she was helping him take a bath, but she probably wanted to take advantage of his weakness to do something else secretly.

He can't take any more of this; if it continues, his back will be completely ruined.

"Tch, fine then." Xu Xi pouted, her face full of reluctance, but she didn't argue any further. With her hands behind her back, she slowly walked downstairs.

But the cunning in his eyes was not hidden at all.

Xu Nian dared not let her guard down for a moment. Watching her figure disappear at the top of the stairs, she immediately locked the bathroom door from the inside, turning it twice to make sure it was locked before letting out a sigh of relief and dragging her heavy body into the shower room.

He turned on the shower, and warm water poured down from the overhead jet, running down his hair and cheeks, soaking every inch of his tired skin, taking away the stickiness and fatigue, and relaxing his tense nerves a little.

Xu Nian tilted her head back slightly, letting the hot water wash over her face, and exhaled a long breath of stale air, a breath full of exhaustion and helplessness.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed his lower back, which was sore and stiff, as if it had been stomped on heavily, and it hurt with the slightest movement.

This won't do. At this rate, before Xu Xi's manic phase ends, he'll become a dried-up corpse and pass away.

I need to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to properly treat my body.

Just as his thoughts drifted away and he relaxed his guard slightly, a soft little hand suddenly reached in through the gap in the shower curtain and gently touched his waist with its fingertips.

Holy crap!

Xu Nian was startled and couldn't help but swear.

He looked down at the familiar little hand, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"I...I locked the bathroom door, didn't I? How did you get in?"

A girl's cheerful, triumphant laughter drifted from outside the shower curtain.

The next second, Xu Xi's figure vaguely appeared behind the shower curtain, holding a bunch of keys in her hand, gently waving them in front of him, teasingly saying.

"Taking a shower alone is so boring, how about... we shower together?"

"Come on!"

Xu Nian braced herself, abruptly pulled open the shower curtain, grabbed Xu Xi's twin ponytails, and lifted her out of the bathroom like a kitten. She then snatched the key from Xu Xi's hand and locked the door again.

Back in the shower, after rinsing the foam off his head, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring in a change of clothes.

He suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. If he went out naked and was seen by Xu Xi, whose desire was at its peak, a great battle was inevitable.

Just then, a soft voice came from outside the shower curtain, tinged with a hint of laughter.

"Are you looking for...this?"
