54: Chapter 54 "Communication" at the Dining Table
Chen Sisi gave a cold snort and picked up a spoon to stir the porridge in her bowl.
"What kind of 'good stuff' did you add? You didn't boil my stockings in here, did you?" Chen Sisi was clearly still bothered by what happened last night, her tone sharp.
Lin Fan gave a dry laugh. "How could I? Wifey, you sure know how to joke. I just added a secret recipe for beauty and rejuvenation; I guarantee you'll get prettier and prettier the more you eat. Hurry and try it while it's hot."
Chen Sisi was indeed hungry, so she lowered her head and took a sip.
"Huh?" Her eyes lit up slightly. "This porridge... why does it taste so fragrant? It's even better than yesterday's."
Before she knew it, the bowl of porridge was empty.
Lin Fan sat opposite her, his eyes burning as he watched her, silently counting the time in his head.
About five minutes later, the medicinal effects manifested.
Chen Sisi suddenly felt a wave of warmth rising within her, spreading out from her lower abdomen. Her cheeks quickly flushed crimson, and her breathing unconsciously became a bit hurried.
"Lin Fan, is the heater in this room turned up too high? Why is it so hot?" As she spoke, she instinctively loosened the collar of her nightgown.
Lin Fan's Adam's apple bobbed. "The heater isn't on. Wifey, how are you feeling?"
Chen Sisi stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room. When she took a closer look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
In the mirror, her skin was lustrous and delicate, as if reborn. Even those faint, looming fine lines at the corners of her eyes had completely vanished, and her entire being radiated a full, youthful glow.
"My face... this skin?" She was both shocked and delighted, hardly daring to believe it.
However, the heat within her body did not subside; instead, it evolved into a heart-pounding restlessness. Like a fine electric current coursing through her limbs, it caused her to involuntarily writhe her body slightly.
She turned her head, and the way she looked at Lin Fan had changed. Her eyes were shimmering with moisture, carrying a hint of confusion and intense longing.
"Lin Fan, what exactly did you give me? I... I don't feel quite right..." Her voice softened, carrying an unconscious tenderness.
Lin Fan stood up and walked over to her, a smile playing on his lips. "I told you it was a secret beauty recipe. But this recipe... does have some special effects. I might need to help you 'channel' it a bit."
At this moment, Chen Sisi's reason had been scattered by the surging sensations. She subconsciously reached out her arms to hook around Lin Fan's neck, leaning her entire body against him, and kissed him proactively and passionately.
"Help me... hurry and help me..." she murmured indistinctly.
Lin Fan picked her up in one swift motion, turned around, and placed her on the spacious dining table.
The bowls and dishes on the table were swept aside, making scattered clattering sounds.
Chen Sisi's usual reserve had completely vanished; driven by the medicine's effects, she was exceptionally proactive. Lin Fan, relying on the abundant energy from his Constitution advancement, handled her with ease.
The dining table followed suit, making rhythmic light sounds.
Right at the height of their passion, a crisp system notification suddenly rang out in Lin Fan's mind:
"Ding! Detected that the host is engaging in high-intensity interaction. Issuing an instant challenge mission: During this 'communication,' make Chen Sisi proactively say 'I was wrong' three times. Mission Success Reward: God-level Hacking Technology Upgraded Version (expanded to satellite-level control permissions), 100 million in cash. Mission Failure Penalty: Host, you know what it is."
When Lin Fan heard that last "you know what it is," his back felt a slight chill. He absolutely could not afford to suffer that penalty.
"Wifey, locking me out last night and calling me a pervert... regarding that, do you know you were wrong?" Lin Fan asked in a low voice.
Chen Sisi's consciousness was hazy, and she could only respond by instinct.
"I was wrong... Hubby, I know I was wrong..."
Lin Fan wouldn't let it go, guiding her: "Say you admit your mistake."
Chen Sisi bit her lower lip. Her shyness and remaining rationality made it difficult for her to speak.
Lin Fan chuckled and said no more, focusing instead on exploring every one of her sensitive weak points.
Finally, Chen Sisi's defenses crumbled completely, and she sobbed out with a crying tone: "I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!... Spare me..."
"Ding! Mission complete. Reward has been issued." The system's voice arrived as scheduled.
Lin Fan felt a sense of relief and finally slowed his pace, embracing her gently.
A long time later, Chen Sisi lay limp and exhausted on the dining table, too tired to even move a finger. However, her skin was moistened with a thin layer of sweat, appearing even more translucent and radiant.
Right at that moment, the phone that had been tossed onto the sofa began to vibrate violently at an inopportune time.
