Chapter 133: I Don’t Want Shame Anymore
The material of the stockings was not thick enough, as if it were a bit too thin. When worn on the legs, it would be slightly transparent, revealing a little bit of flesh color. The looming feeling was too subtle, making him a little afraid to look.
“Are these still stockings? They’re a bit like lingerie!”
Su Yan pondered for a moment and felt that this was not a solution. He had to be quick.
Su Yan took a deep breath and reached out to touch the top of the stocking.
Xiao Wu was wearing black stockings, the most classic style. The extremely elastic stockings extended from the tips of her toes to the warm and tender base of her thighs. To take off the stockings, he just needed to grab the top and pull it down.
It was supposed to be that simple, but when Su Yan reached out, Xiao Wu, to make it convenient for him, slightly spread her thighs, and Su Yan inevitably saw some scenery.
Instantly, Su Yan’s face turned bright red, and his breathing quickened.
He felt that his insistence might have been a mistake. He should have left this kind of work to his little junior sister.
But now, it was too late for regrets.
After taking a few breaths, Su Yan still reached out and grabbed the thin top of the stocking. His fingers began to twist it tight, and then he pulled down with force.
The black stockings slowly slid down, revealing her fair and smooth thigh.
The slightly tight top of the stocking clung to her thigh, creating an alluring indentation.
But fortunately, such a tempting scene was only fleeting. After taking off the troublesome stockings, Su Yan could finally wipe her body.
Xiao Wu felt very uneasy. She was clearly a woman, yet she was panting breathlessly in front of a man. Looking at Su Yan, who was concentrating on wiping the stains for her, her face began to turn red.
Since when had her relationship with her junior brother become so good?
Xiao Wu wanted to try her best to maintain her composure, to not show any flaws in front of Su Yan, to not expose the reality that she was very unaccustomed to this, but…
“I can’t do it at all!”
As long as she thought of her junior brother taking care of her, seeing his gentle expression, her legs would inexplicably start to go weak. Xiao Wu didn’t know what was wrong with her.
Her body was hot. She really wanted to move to the bathroom and let the cold water droplets fall, to cool her body down.
“Alright.”
Su Yan looked up and suddenly found Xiao Wu staring at him.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
“N-no.”
“Your face is so red,” Su Yan said with a puzzled expression.
“N-no, it’s not.”
Xiao Wu caressed her cheeks and said nervously.
Of course, she couldn’t tell the truth. To blush because of shame… she really couldn’t say it!
“The medicine has been applied, and the bandages have been re-wrapped. You should lie down and rest well.”
Su Yan pressed Xiao Wu down on the bed, telling her not to move around. Then he said, “I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come and see you later.”
Although he really wanted to stay here, as long as he was here, Senior Sister Xiao Wu seemed to get easily excited. If the wound opened up again, he would be the sinner.
“Mm.”
Xiao Wu nodded reluctantly.
Su Yan left the room. The gentle expression on his face changed. He still had to pretend in front of his senior sister. Now that there was no one around, there was no need to pretend anymore.
Yes, Su Yan was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Having personally experienced a life-and-death crisis, the sword wound on Xiao Wu’s body showed that it was not a dream. They had almost died once. Realizing this, how could he still remain calm?
“It’s all because of me. If it weren’t for protecting me, because I was a burden, how could she have become like this?”
As a man, did he have to hide behind a woman all the time? It was one thing when he had no choice before, but now that he had the system, could he still be at ease?
Thinking of his senior sister being injured, and even almost dying, this world was absolutely real. There was no such thing as a protagonist. His senior sister could also be injured, and even die.
And at this thought, Su Yan felt a pang in his heart. He didn’t want to be like the protagonists in many novels, who only felt regret after losing something.
“Power! I need power!”
Su Yan clenched his fists. Feelings were mutual. Xiao Wu had given so much for him. He also wanted to respond, to protect her. And this required power. He couldn’t do it with his current self. He could only rely on the system.
“I can’t be a slacker anymore.”
Before, when faced with the system’s missions, he would do them if he could and was always picky, so much so that after so long, his strength had not improved much.
This time, Su Yan made up his mind. He wanted to work hard to become stronger, not the kind that lasted for three minutes, but to be strict with himself.
“My aptitude is not good. If I cultivate step by step, I’ll never achieve anything in my life.”
Su Yan knew that the only way for him to gain power was through the system. He had already decided that in the future, no matter how shameless the system’s missions were, he had to do them.
Although some system missions were very shameful, compared to his senior sister, what was a little shame!
At this thought, Su Yan took a deep breath. Then the problem came.
“Where are the system missions?”
He didn’t know when it had started, but the system seemed to no longer appear, nor did it issue any more missions. What was going on?
[Because you are resisting.]
The system’s voice sounded in his ear.
Su Yan said with a puzzled expression, “What do you mean by that?”
[Because you are subconsciously resisting me and refusing to do missions, I cannot appear.]
Su Yan’s eyes widened. So the reason the system had not appeared all this time was because of this. Now that he had made up his mind, did it immediately appear?
[Mm.]
The system replied softly.
Su Yan was a little surprised. He could actually do such a thing. It seemed the system also had to follow certain rules and could not go against his will.
Realizing this, he was a little more at ease with the system.
“I want to become stronger now. Give me more missions in the future.”
[That’s a matter of course.]
After saying this, the system fell silent.
Having resolved his worries, Su Yan began to look forward to the missions. He wanted to become stronger as soon as possible and not go through that kind of thing again.
However…
“The first mission in a long time… does it have to be so exciting?”
Su Yan looked at the system options before him, wanting to cry but having no tears.
His senior sister’s injuries had not healed, and she had to drink medicine every day. Su Yan had taken on the task of delivering the medicine and had come to his senior sister’s room. However, as soon as he entered, the system mission suddenly appeared.
[Option 1: Hand the bowl to your senior sister and let her drink the medicine herself. (Reward for completion: Spiritual Power +1)]
[Option 2: Your senior sister is a patient. How can you let her do it herself? Pick up the spoon and feed her. (Reward for completion: Low-grade spiritual plant, Moon Shadow Grass)]
[Option 3: Your senior sister was injured for me. Of course, I have to serve her with all my heart. Feed her mouth-to-mouth. (Reward for completion: Cultivation breakthrough to late Foundation Establishment)]
