Si Xie: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but get angry.

’This damn woman,’ he thought. ’I’m pouring my heart out to her, being so sincere, and yet she doubts me. It’s infuriating.’

Suddenly, he felt a soft touch on his cheek. His pupils trembled slightly, and all his anger instantly vanished, replaced by a rush of excitement.

’So handsome and considerate. I want to kiss him!’

Her thoughts rang in his ears again. A tremor ran through Si Xie’s heart, and he couldn’t stop himself from cupping her face and fiercely kissing her pink lips.

This brazen display, completely oblivious to everyone around them, stunned Jiang Tang and Jiang Wang. Then, their cheeks began to burn, and they quickly turned their backs, not daring to watch any longer.

Fu Yuan and Ming Ye glanced at Jun Yao, as if they were enjoying a good show.

Jun Yao’s expression remained impassive, betraying nothing, but his fists were clenched tightly, and a flicker of hostility flashed deep in his eyes.

’...’

’I just kissed him on the cheek. Why is he having such a big reaction?’

’So many people are watching, and Jiang Tang and Jiang Wang are still minors. This guy really isn’t thinking about the example he’s setting.’

Si Xie: "..."

’Alright, this one’s on me,’ he admitted to himself.

’I was overcome by my emotions and couldn’t control myself for a moment.’

He swallowed hard, and using every ounce of his self-control, he released her face and pulled away from her soft, pink lips as she reached up to push him.

Jiang Yunnuan shot him a glare, then turned to Jiang Tang and Jiang Wang.

"Jiang Tang, come back to our room with me."

"Oh, uh, okay~"

Hearing her name, Jiang Tang quickly turned around. But she kept her head bowed, not daring to look up, locating Jiang Yunnuan by her shoes before walking to her side.

Looking at the girl who was timid as a quail, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t help but chuckle as she reached out and pinched her cheek.

Back in the room, Jiang Yunnuan went to take a shower first.

Her creamy skin was covered in a dense pattern of purple hickeys, all left by Jun Yao. It was a gruesome sight.

Afraid she would frighten Jiang Tang, Jiang Yunnuan activated her Superpower, and all the marks on her body instantly vanished.

After her shower, she changed into clean pajamas and let Jiang Tang take her turn.

Listening to the sound of the shower running in the bathroom, she lay on the bed and sent her consciousness into the system to collect her rewards.

The rewards for two days of logins had been combined.

Opening the bundle, she received: 300 Points, 23 Beauty Pill Fragments, 9 Crystal Stones, 2 Farm Upgrade Cards, 2 bags of Organic Fertilizer, 1 Divine Skill Thunder Light Transformation Experience Card, and 1 Dragon Blood Immortal Fruit.

Huh?

’Another Experience Card and an Immortal Fruit?’

Jiang Yunnuan immediately clicked to view the descriptions of these two rewards.

Divine Skill Thunder Light Transformation was a Thunder Skill with immense attack power. It was of Divine quality and the experience card lasted for ten seconds.

The Dragon Blood Immortal Fruit was an Immortal Fruit imbued with a true dragon’s blood essence. Consuming it would produce an unexpected effect.

’Awesome! This is some really good stuff!’

Jiang Yunnuan was thrilled. She realized that the rewards from completing a random challenge were far more generous than those from two consecutive daily logins.

’Looks like I should break my login streak more often to do these random challenges.’

Her consciousness entered her spatial farm, where she deftly went through the motions: upgrading, planting, fertilizing, harvesting, and planting again...

The crops in her spatial warehouse were becoming more and more abundant.

After finishing with the farm, she collected the eggs and milk, then harvested the fish from her pond.

Just as she finished everything, Jiang Tang came out of the shower.

"Sister, thank you for what you did today..."

The girl stood by the bed in a faded dress, her face filled with gratitude as she looked at Jiang Yunnuan.

Jiang Yunnuan smiled. "Well, you were certainly lucky to run into me today. But let’s not talk about that. Get in bed. We have to be up early for a mission tomorrow."

"Okay."

Jiang Tang got into bed and lay meekly on the very edge, taking up as little space as possible. She was so close to the side, she could have fallen off if she rolled over.

Jiang Yunnuan frowned as she looked at the wide-open space between them and saw her sister perched on the edge of the bed.

"Scoot over a little."

At these words, surprise flickered in Jiang Tang’s eyes. She said softly, "But... don’t you hate being touched, Sister?"

Back at the care center, every time she so much as touched her sister, her sister would react with disgust and anger.

After being scolded several times, she had learned her lesson and tried her best to keep her distance.

Jiang Yunnuan remembered those incidents as well.

The original owner of her body had been bullied and, unable to fight back against her tormentors, took all her frustrations out on Jiang Tang, the person who was kindest to her. A classic case of being a tyrant at home and a coward outside.

And Jiang Tang, despite being the younger sister, had always been the one to take care of her and put up with her behavior.

’As expected of a Daughter of Fortune,’ she thought. ’Even after having her luck stolen, there are still people who will selflessly devote themselves to her.’

"People change. I was immature back then. When I was bullied, I had all this anger inside me with nowhere to vent it, so I took it all out on you. That was my fault. But I’ve grown up now, and I truly understand how wrong I was. I know you’re the one who’s always been kindest to me, and I won’t treat you like that ever again."
