6: Repayment method

“Then you go ahead, I’ll wait for you a bit.”

Li Xuening looked at the disheveled girl, frowned slightly, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

“Thank you, young lady. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation later.”

Ye Xi’s clear and bright eyes moved slightly, and she smiled at Li Xuening.

With her Charm skill fully activated, the entire space was filled with an irresistible, ethereal aura.

If one looked closely, even the goldfish in the tank were staring at Ye Xi with sparkling eyes, tapping against the glass.

Xiao Ai: “Hey, hey, a little bit of charm is enough. You’ve maxed it out now. If you did this in public, men might lose control and assault you in the street.”

Ye Xi replied in her mind: “I’m telling you, I feel like this woman has a strong will. Women are naturally immune to female beauty, so I’m doing this to avoid any mishaps. More charm is better than less.”

“So beautiful.”

Their gazes met, and Li Xuening’s heart fluttered, her throat dry, and her breathing uneven.

In her eyes, Ye Xi was radiating a sacred light, holy and inviolable.

She swore this was the most beautiful and purest girl she had ever seen. She couldn't help but ask herself, what was happening to her?

“Are you talking about me? Thank you for the compliment.”

Ye Xi’s peerless eyes, bright as the Milky Way and dazzling as stars, turned crimson as she ran towards the bathroom.

Li Xuening sat on the sofa, looking at the spotless room, and her impression of Ye Xi improved a bit.

She knew that many girls’ rooms nowadays were like pigsties, unbearable to look at. Since she had come so suddenly, Ye Xi must not have deliberately cleaned it.

Bang.

A sound came from the bathroom, and Li Xuening, fearing an accident, immediately ran over.

Through the gap in the door, she saw a scene that made her nose bleed.

The young girl’s long hair flowed, her beautiful back was smooth and like white jade, like a new moon, exuding endless charm.

Her calves were slender and long, her skin delicate as fat, gleaming faintly under the light like exquisite porcelain. At this moment, Ye Xi was completely facing away from Li Xuening, forming a breathtaking picture.

“I’m changing, please wait a little longer.” Ye Xi seemed to sense the movement behind her.

At this moment, Li Xuening also snapped out of her shock. What was she just doing? Peeking at someone changing?

However, she was glad she was a woman; otherwise, with that scene, a man would probably have rushed in directly.

“It’s fine, I can wait.”

Li Xuening tiptoed, trying not to make a sound as she moved away from the bathroom door. Her voice also carried a hint of embarrassment; although her tone was firm, it gave off a feeling of guilt.

She silently comforted herself, she wasn’t deliberately peeking. Whose fault was it that she didn't close the door when showering and changing?

“Okay, I’ll be out now. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Ye Xi couldn't help but inwardly suppress a laugh. The sound was intentional, and that hint of allure was also deliberately exposed. She knew without thinking that Li Xuening’s inner world must have been very colorful just now.

A few minutes later, Ye Xi walked out of the room wearing pajamas, and the two sat at the table.

“All guests are welcome, have some fruit.”

Ye Xi’s lips curved slightly, and she raised an eyebrow, pushing a plate of grapes towards Li Xuening.

“Don’t try to get chummy with me, we’re not familiar at all.”

Li Xuening looked at the grapes peeled by the beauty on the plate. She swallowed, really wanting to eat them, but couldn't bring herself to open her mouth.

Listening to Li Xuening’s gradually less aggressive words, Ye Xi knew she had gained a little bit of standing in her heart. Now she needed to do more to make her feel guilty.

“Have one.”

Ye Xi picked up a grape and lowered herself, slowly approaching Li Xuening.

“I won’t eat it.”

Her action immediately put Li Xuening on guard. After a short time together, she felt this girl was very cunning, and she needed to proceed cautiously no matter what.

As Ye Xi got closer and still slightly lowered her body, Li Xuening froze for a moment. 'Girl, you’re exposing yourself!'

Noticing Li Xuening’s flushed cheeks, Ye Xi immediately took a step back, creating distance between herself and Li Xuening.

Seeing the other party’s action, Li Xuening’s mind went blank for a moment, then her cheeks burned, completely red.

“I…”

Li Xuening was about to explain, “I really didn’t look on purpose, I’m not a flower thief, I’m a very proper girl.”

However, Ye Xi naturally wouldn’t give her a chance to explain, immediately interrupting her and changing the subject.

“Shall we talk about serious matters?”

After saying that, Ye Xi immediately adopted a desolate expression, her crystal-like eyes slightly downcast, giving off a feeling of pitiful beauty.

Li Xuening still wanted to explain, but seeing Ye Xi’s desolate and mournful expression, the words on her lips were swallowed back down.

In her opinion, for such an awkward matter, if the other girl didn’t want to bring it up, and she still insisted on explaining, wouldn’t she appear tactless?

It’s just, why did she feel increasingly guilty?

“The matter of you kicking my brother’s head probably won’t end so easily.”

Li Xuening glanced at the girl out of the corner of her eye. Two blushes bloomed on her cheeks like vibrant peonies, and her long, curled eyelashes fluttered, giving her a playful and adorable look.

Li Xuening involuntarily fell into deep thought. How could such a beautiful girl look like someone who would actively hit people? Was she innocent?

She also seemed magnanimous and elegant, completely unconcerned about what had just happened. The word 'violence' seemed to have nothing to do with her. Could there be some misunderstanding?

Li Xuening snapped back to reality. Wait? Something seemed off.

I came to teach her a lesson for my brother, why am I inexplicably speaking up for her?

What was she innocent about? Could the injury on her brother's face have been self-inflicted?

Li Xuening felt extremely uncomfortable. She really wanted to question Ye Xi, “Why aren’t you more arrogant? That way I could justifiably beat you up. Now this situation makes it seem like I’ve done something terribly immoral.”

“I know, so I will give you a satisfactory answer. Besides, I never thought of running away.”

Ye Xi sighed again, her voice now tinged with a hint of sorrow, making Li Xuening’s heart clench sharply.

“It’s good that you know?”

“But I’m curious, how do you plan to compensate? My brother won’t forgive you that easily.”

Li Xuening felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.

She didn't even notice that, unconsciously, her emotions had already been manipulated by Ye Xi.

“My family is quite poor, so I might not be able to afford money. Can I repay you in other ways? Not-so-proper ways.”

A thin layer of sadness emerged in Ye Xi’s eyes. She blinked, her long eyelashes concealing the helplessness and disappointment in her eyes. Her whole demeanor gave off an impression of fragility, a melancholic beauty.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuening froze, completely astonished, stunned for several seconds, and then another wave of shame washed over her.

Hey, hey, what am I doing? I’m not forcing you. You’re going to make me feel guilty.

If it benefits my brother, why not benefit me instead?
