Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

This meal was probably the result of the little girl saving up for a week, so Yu Ci ate a lot of food today, without restraint.

Yu Ci breathed a sigh of relief when the plate was empty.

We finally finished eating, so we didn't let the little girl down.

But to his surprise, the little girl prepared dessert after the main meal.

Chapter Nine: Girl, Third Base?

Looking at the strawberry and chocolate ice cream, Yu Ci felt a mix of emotions.

One is a complicated little girl who is so poor, yet she still buys him this ice cream.

The two complexities are...

The original owner had a very small stomach, and he really couldn't eat a single bite.

But the little girl clearly didn't know this. She brought over the ice cream, blinked, and said, "Last time when you treated me to ice cream, I kept staring at it—"

Judging from that look in his eyes, Lin Xiaoai thought that Yu Ci must like to eat this stuff.

but!

These words stirred up Yu Ci's memories, but back then, he wasn't looking at the ice cream, he was looking at the people eating the ice cream...

"Okay, but I probably can't eat too much," Yu Cixian said. "I'll just have one bite."

"It's alright." Lin Xiaoai smiled gracefully. "Senior, you can have a bite. If you can't eat more, I'll eat it."

Isn't that the legendary... indirect kiss?

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Making the little girl eat what he had already eaten.

"It's nothing."

Okay, then—

I agree.

The feeling of fullness in his abdomen meant that Yu Ci only ate one bite of ice cream, and for various reasons, it was Lin Xiaoai who fed him that bite.

The small wooden spoon, the pink, cool, sweet stuff melts in your mouth, the sweetness spreads in your mouth, but the sweetness doesn't just spread in your mouth.

Because of the little girl in front of him, he was feeding her while laughing.

"The way you open your mouth like that, senior, is so pretty."

"..."

Who is truly good-looking?

Soft, pink lips, a delicate tongue scooping up the ice cream from the wooden spoon, making one's heart flutter with desire.

After eating many spoonfuls of ice cream, when the small box was almost empty, Lin Xiaoai noticed that Yu Ci was still looking at her. "Senior, do you want another bite? There's only one bite left."

Inside the white cardboard box, the chocolate ice cream had been eaten up, and the only thing left was the strawberry ice cream, which was the same color as Lin Xiaoai's tongue.

I felt I should refuse, after all, men and women should not touch each other.

"Wouldn't it be strange if I ate the last bit?"

"No way." Lin Xiaoai covered her mouth and laughed, her short bob hair bobbing slightly with her movements, making her look exceptionally cute. "I'll treat you to a meal next time I get paid."

"OK."

"This ice cream is quite sweet."

-

The relationship between people is perfectly built through this gradual process of getting closer to each other.

From getting to know each other, to getting to know each other again, to helping each other out, to going out together often, to sending each other text messages every day, it all took only one summer.

This summer, his relationship with the little girl Lin Xiaoai progressed rapidly.

As I was thinking, my phone vibrated again, a particularly long vibration. Without even checking, I knew it was a message from Lin Xiaoai.

Sure enough, when I swiped the screen, there was a photo.

In the fall, when school reopened, the library job was given to the freshmen. Since Lin Xiaoai couldn't work at the school, she had to find a part-time job at a coffee shop not far from the school.

Ok.

A coffee shop, a maid cafe.

So, when I saw Lin Xiaoai dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with a cat ear on her head and a cat paw glove on her hand, I felt a tickle in my heart and then felt a wet urge in my nose.

This is so damn cute!

Yu Ci: Are you about to leave work?

They don't seem to be working over there; they reply to messages instantly.

Lin Xiaoai: Yes, it's almost time to get off work.

Yu Ci: Seeing these photos you share every day makes me want to work for you guys.

Lin Xiaoai chuckled softly when she saw the message. Yu Ci was a rich young lady from a wealthy family. She definitely wasn't working for this meager income; she was probably there to keep Yu Ci company.

Lin Xiaoai: ^_^ Actually, it's just that the photos look good. Coming here is a bit tiring, and I'm already a senior in high school! It's better to stay at school and have classes~

Regarding the words: ...

Yu Ci: Eh.

Yu Ci: I don't actually attend classes at school.

Lin Xiaoai: Then you can just come over for coffee, senior. You don't need to come to work.

How could she possibly bear to let her senior come over to serve dishes and wipe tables for others?

Yu Ci thought about it and agreed, "You're right. When you go to work tomorrow, I'll go over there for a cup of coffee."

Lin Xiaoai: #shy#

Lin Xiaoai: Okay, I have something to do here, I'll be able to reply to you later!

Yu Ci: Isn't it almost time to get off work? Is there anything else?

Lin Xiaoai: Oh, it's time to get off work, so I need to go to the changing room to change.

"..."

Changing room, to change clothes?

Words can be dry, but the imagination they evoke is boundless.

Even though it was just that one sentence, countless thoughts immediately flooded Yu Ci's mind.

Take off your clothes and change your clothes.

Her fair shoulders, and the undulating curves I'd glimpsed before, soft... short yet slender legs.

The more you think about it, the stronger the feeling becomes.

Just as Yu Ci was about to get into the climax of his own fantasy, the system, which hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly appeared!

[Hey Yu Ci, what are you doing?]

Someone who had just become interested: ...

"I didn't do anything."

"Lily, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

【Ah~ It's nothing, I just noticed that Brother Yu Ci and Xiao Ai have been getting along quite well lately, so I came out to say hello~】

Do you get along well with Xiao Ai?

It's definitely great... I really like it.

Oh, right! The system's appearance reminded Yu Ci of something.

"When we were doing the mission before, you said that the system was dedicated to making the female lead and the female supporting character have a yuri relationship, right?"

[One hundred points, bro, you remember that very well!]

"I have a question."

【What?】

"Your strategy guide... that guide for winning over the female lead and supporting female characters, at what point is the mission considered complete?"

Is it true love, or just the kind of infatuation system you find in some female-oriented novels? If it's infatuation, shouldn't there at least be an infatuation bar? If not, shouldn't there at least be some hint?

The system seemed quite surprised that Yu Ci would ask this question.

[The so-called successful strategy, bro, you didn't even know?]

"I don't know, what's wrong?"

Let me give you a friendly example. In the 21st century, there's a distinction between first base, second base, and third base. Our standard for successfully winning over a girl is whether she's willing to go to third base.

"..."

"Third base?"

What the hell is that?

Let him go to third base?

With a complicated expression, he asked, "With the original owner's qualifications, could he have reached third base?"

There's nothing there... use your hands to get to third base.

To everyone's surprise, after a period of silence, the system presented Yu Ci with a whole bunch of obscene images.

Dude, even if you're a homebody, don't be so ignorant!

[#Smoking# I don't have one, can't I just buy one?]

Remainder: ...

He said, "66666."
