Before Lu Lingyue could grasp what was happening, she saw Lu Xiaoxue straddle the bathtub!

  Lu Lingyue: !!!

  Lu Xiaoxue's cheeks turned pink. She tossed her coat aside, and her white shirt, which g to her body, was now soaked. Lu Lingyue could even see hints of things she wasn't supposed to notiderh it.

  Moreover, Lu Xiaoxue's silver-white hair, noith droplets, hung down and brushed against Lu Lingyue's skin, causing an itchy sensation.

  The two of them were in an incredibly ambiguous position. In the rush of the moment, Lu Lingyue's hand, which had instinctively tried to protect herself, was now resting on the sides of the bathtub.

  It was as if they were engaged in something odd and intimate.

  "What... what are you doing?!!"

  Lu Li her lip, too embarrassed to even look at Lu Xiaoxue. She shouted out, her voice full of anger and fusion.

  Lu Xiaoxue smiled softly, her sweet breath brushing against Lu Lingyue's ear, its warmth seeping into her mind.

  "Lingyue, you're not doing very well, are you?"

  After speaking, Lu Xiaoxue gracefully rose from Lu Lingyue's p, causing a spsh of water. Then, she stepped out of the bathtub with ease.

  Shivering, Lu Lingyue quickly hugged her knees, her voice trembling.

  "What... what are you pnning to do?!"

  A faint, knowing smile curled on Lu Xiaoxue's lips. Water droplets g to her long legs, slowly dripping down.

  "What am I pnning to do? I just want to teach you something—being a girl means uanding the responsibility of being a girl."

  Lu Xiaoxue's expression suddenly became serious.

  "As a girl, you o learn to protect yourself. If I were a burgr or kidnapper just now, Lingyue, you wouldn't be a virgin anymore, would you?"

  Lu Lingyue's face turned bright red. "W-why are you saying that?!"

  "Lingyue is such a cute aiful girl. I don't want anything bad to happen to you…"

  A cold, chilling glint fshed in Lu Xiaoxue's eyes.

  "Not even a little bit."

  Lu Lingyue shivered uhe iy of her gaze, feeling as though the woman in front of her wasn't as simple as she seemed.

  But before she could fully process that thought, Lu Xiaoxue's expression softened again. She tilted her head and smiled.

  "But if you don't protect yourself well... don't bme me for doing something... strange."

  Lu Lingyue shivered once more, her heart rag.

  Alright, so this is the game, huh?

  Thankfully, Lu Xiaoxue didn't tieasing her. Instead, she simply gave her a thh bath.

  Afterward, Lu Xiaoxue had Lu Liand in front of the mirror while she gently dried her silver-white hair.

  As Lu Liched Lu Xiaoxue carefully drying her hair in the mirror, she couldn't help but ask.

  "By the way, why are you teag me such strahings?"

  Lu Xiaoxue, still drying her hair, g Lu Lihrough the mirror and smiled.

  "Maybe, as a former boy, you didn't realize that girls are physically more vulnerable. Plus, I know girls who've been hurt by bad people, so I want you to learn to protect yourself."

  Lu Lingyue houghtfully, the warmth of the blow dryer against her hair calming her.

  It seemed like Lu Xiaoxue really did care about her!

  If this were the past, Lu Xiaoxue wouldn't have been this gentle, expining things while drying her hair!

  It made Lu Lingyue remember the time when she actally left a few strands of hair behind ihroom. That night, Lu Xiaoxue had coldly teased her.

  "If you're so messy, maybe you shouldn't use the bathroom at all!"

  But now, Lu Xiaoxue was bending down to up the strands of hair that fell while drying her.

  What a difference!

  "Alright, now you're a fresh and fragrant little dy!"

  Lu Xiaoxue pinched Lu Lingyue's cheek affeately.

  "Now it's my turn to shower."

  Lu Lingyue nodded, about to leave, when she heard Lu Xiaoxue's voice behind her.

  "Lingyue, are you going to stay and watch?"

  Lu Lingyue: ...

  "Who would want to stay and watch?!"

  Flushed with embarrassment, Lu Lingyue quickly walked out of the bathroom.

  Before she left, she could hear Lu Xiaoxue's light ughter behind her.

  It was like the ughter was scratg at her heart, making her bite her lip even harder.

  The moment she closed the bathroom door, Lu Lingyue caught a glimpse of Lu Xiaoxue slowly undressing ieamy bathroom.

  It was only a sed, but her face turned beet red, and her heart raced!

  As soon as the door clicked shut, she regretted not taking the opportunity to admire the beautiful girl.

  But wait, she's my sister! Admiring her isn't a crime, but it would cross some lines...

  Trying to fort herself, Lu Lingyue made her way back to her room.

  She colpsed on the bed, uo shake the thoughts about what Lu Xiaoxue had said earlier.

  She actually knew girls who'd been in danger?

  In Lu Lingyue's memory, the girls she hung out with were all nice, but she never imagihey'd enter bad people...

  Thank goodness Lu Xiaoxue hadn't been through that.

  If she had, Lu Lingyue would've been a totally inpetent brother!

  As he thought about this serious topi ued voice suddenly interrupted.

  "The princess is here! Everyone move aside!"

  Of course, it was that cute but troublesome system again.

  "Spit it out, what is it now?"

  Lu Lingyue, already immuo the system's sudden appearances, y on the bed and asked calmly.

  "Hmph, why so cold?"

  The system's voice sounded clearly upset.

  "ele, Princess, wele!"

  Lu Lingyue cpped his hands, pretending to be enthusiastic, though his tone remai.

  "You!"

  The system seemed frustrated, yelling out.

  "Fet it! I'll let it slide this time since you pleted the task so well."

  "Of course! It's the era of the beautiful girl!"

  Lu Lingyue smirked proudly.

  "But don't get too cocky! The mission is going to be tough!"

  The system quickly poured cold water on Lu Lingyue's fidence.

  "What... what do you mean?"

  Lu Lingyue's voice carried a note of as he asked.
