31: Chapter 31 The bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

Slap!

Zhao Xiaoshuai "reluctantly" repeated the "dull and boring" action.

'Under some strange impulse, I actually agreed to this lunatic's request. How am I supposed to end this now...'

Slap!

Ling Rui only needed to lie there and take the beating, but Zhao Xiaoshuai had a lot more to consider.

It was a bit cold outside, so the two of them were sitting in the back seat of the toyota corolla, with Ling Rui lying face down on Zhao Xiaoshuai's lap, looking very well-behaved.

Slap!

'It's actually quite lucky that Ling Rui didn't end up serving several masters while abroad.'

Judging by the system rating, her experience score was 7, the same as Meng Yawen's. In terms of relationships, she had had many boyfriends, but she had never gone all the way with any of them.

Zhao Xiaoshuai could understand her situation; after all, there probably weren't many people who could tolerate her spoiled princess temperament, and she likely wouldn't have thought much of anyone who truly could.

And given her status and beauty, most people wouldn't have the heart to scold or hit her.

Slap!

However, this couldn't go on forever.

"That's enough, it's probably swollen by now, isn't it? Doesn't it hurt?"

Ling Rui tilted her head up to look at Zhao Xiaoshuai and said with an intoxicated expression: "Mhm, it's probably swollen. It hurts a lot, but it feels so good."

Although Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't understand it, he chose to respect it.

According to Ling Rui herself, the strange feelings she first developed for him began when he frequently contradicted her, questioned her, and went against her.

Her life had been too smooth until then, and the first person to "defy" her had given her a very different kind of experience.

Although she mostly felt annoyance at the time, he was clearly distinguished from everyone else.

A few days ago, Zhao Xiaoshuai had a huge argument with her because he wanted to leave work early, and he had yelled at her a few times.

At that moment, a very strange feeling had suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart.

It was a very special, very comfortable feeling that made her feel joyful and satisfied from the bottom of her heart, making her instinctively want to experience it again.

Then, there was that day regarding the delivery incident, when Zhao Xiaoshuai had pinned her against the wall and scolded her without any mercy.

Growing up, no one had ever dared to scold her like that.

That time, her reaction was even stronger, so strong that she had to change a certain piece of clothing and hide it in her bag.

And it was that time that she finally realized what she wanted.

Finally, just now, she completely awakened her peculiar attributes and sank into it entirely.

Ever since Zhao Xiaoshuai unlocked her encyclopedia entry, he hadn't paid any attention to her.

Only when he pulled up the panel now did he realize that this crazy woman had inexplicably gained so much favorability.

[Favorability/Relationship Value: 189 (Obedience), can claim current level favorability chest]

Usually, the favorability levels for female characters are Acquainted, Friendly, Like, and Adoration. Ling Rui seemed to be a bit special; after Acquainted, it was Obedience, Submissiveness, and Submission.

He casually clicked destroy; what kind of normal person would learn this?

"From now on, these kinds of things will serve as rewards. If you don't listen, there won't be any rewards. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Can you still drive yourself?"

"I can't sit down, it hurts."

Zhao Xiaoshuai sighed helplessly, "Where do you live?"

"Add me as a friend, and I'll send it to you."

Ling Rui had only added a few work groups from the company and hadn't added anyone's Weixun. Zhao Xiaoshuai had the "good fortune" of becoming the first person from their original company to add her as a friend.

"This residential complex... do you live alone?"

"Mhm."

The location Ling Rui pinned was in the same residential complex as Bai Feng, and in the same building, just on a different floor.

These large flat apartments were all one unit per floor.

Ling Rui maintained her prone position, her head buried in her arms, her eyes half-closed as she looked at the back of the driver's seat, lost in reminiscence.

The car slowly came to a stop. She propped herself up to look outside; it didn't look like they had arrived home, she just saw Zhao Xiaoshuai walk into a pharmacy.

She didn't know what he went to buy.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Zhao Xiaoshuai led Ling Rui toward the elevator.

Watching her carefully take one step and then stop, Zhao Xiaoshuai really couldn't stand it anymore, so he rewarded her with a princess carry.

"Does it hurt like this?"

"It hurts a little, but it feels so good."

"..." He was speechless. It was clearly the same kind of pain, so why did it only hurt when she walked herself, but feel comfortable when she was being carried by him?

With a ding, the elevator door opened, and a beautiful, listless young woman walked out—it was Bai Feng.

However, Bai Feng didn't seem interested in anything; she walked out of the elevator without looking at anything, never noticing Zhao Xiaoshuai from start to finish.

He took Ling Rui's key and swiped it, watching Bai Feng leave. As the elevator door closed, he stopped paying attention.

Ling Rui's home had a layout basically similar to Bai Feng's, except the tidy parts of the house were extremely tidy, and the messy parts were extremely chaotic.

There must have been a cleaning service that came to organize regularly, but Ling Rui's speed of destruction was clearly superior.

This showed that she was a person who lived very casually, or rather, she didn't care about anything other than her own mood.

He put her down at the doorway and watched as she awkwardly rubbed her feet a few times but couldn't get her shoes off.

He could only squat down and help her take off her shoes.

Because it was winter, she was wearing thick black stockings, which felt quite nice to the touch.

He didn't continue being considerate by putting her slippers on for her; he turned around and stopped paying attention to her, so she just walked inside barefoot.

"I want to take a shower, I'm soaked through..."

Zhao Xiaoshuai was admiring the interior decor, using it as a reference for his own future home, and couldn't help but frown when he heard that.

"If you want to shower, then shower. Why ask me? Do you want me to help you wash or something?"

Seemingly satisfied with Zhao Xiaoshuai's harsh tone, Ling Rui grabbed a few changes of clothes with a joyful expression and walked awkwardly into the bathroom.

The door was only left ajar and not locked tight; it was unclear whether it was intentional or accidental.

After a long while, the sound of splashing water finally began.

Zhao Xiaoshuai sat on the sofa; he still hadn't figured out how to handle this strange situation.

He had only seen similar situations in certain online communities that shouldn't exist, and he had always treated them as stories before.

Although he knew that in a world this big, anything could happen, actually encountering it in reality still caught him off guard.

After thinking for a long time, the sound of water gradually quieted down, and he stood up and pushed open the bathroom door; he wanted to see where Ling Rui's bottom line was.

Ling Rui's bathroom was quite large, divided into two doors, an inner and an outer one. The outer room was a dressing room, and the inner room was a semi-transparent bathroom.

The bathroom was made of frosted glass, the type where you could faintly see a silhouette, but couldn't actually see anything clearly.

The sound of water inside stopped.

Zhao Xiaoshuai glanced down at the laundry basket; it couldn't be described as just soaked anymore.

"Are you done washing?"

"Yes, I'm done," Ling Rui's voice sounded a bit nervous yet excited.

"If you're done, come out."

He glanced casually at the outer room; the bath towel was placed right beside him, yet she pushed the door open directly and walked out just like that.
