Bai Jinghong’s mind still hadn’t recovered. The scene from earlier would inexplicably flash in his head.
He had actually embraced Bai Ruoxi, kissing her neck and ear.
His hand had even reached inside, groping her peaks.
If not for Bai Ruoxi’s shriek, at the intensity he’d reached back there, it would have almost led to passionate kissing and… thrusting.
Bai Jinghong had to admit, Bai Ruoxi was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
And perfect in every aspect.
But such thoughts could never have occurred to him before, because he had wholeheartedly treated her as his sister.
Bai Jinghong might be a lecher, but he wouldn’t do anything perverse.
But, damn it, now that the System mentioned it, his mind kept inexplicably wandering back to things concerning Bai Ruoxi.
It was as if that barrier had just… vanished.
“What a sin!” Bai Jinghong slapped his forehead, trying to throw those messy thoughts out of his head.
Then he abruptly grabbed the bottle and poured more liquor down his throat.
When it was empty, he went back inside, grabbed several more bottles, and came out to lie down again.
With this drinking, the alcohol hit him hard, and he truly got drunk.
Meanwhile, in her room, Bai Ruoxi had already changed her clothes. She was also somewhat at a loss for what to do.
She could only sit on the edge of the bed, her mind wandering.
Scenes from the encounter replayed in her head, too.
If she had known Bai Jinghong would mistake her for Shen Yaoyao and do that, she wouldn’t have come over here tonight.
After struggling internally for a while, she decided to go check on Bai Jinghong.
If she left him any longer, that brat would probably drink himself into a dead donkey.
She had just gotten up and walked towards the door when Shen Yaoyao came out from the bathroom inside.
“Sister, are you going back to rest?”
Bai Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat guilty.
“Yes, I’m going back to rest. Yaoyao, go to sleep early.”
“Mm, okay, Sister!” Shen Yaoyao nodded obediently.
“Oh, Yaoyao, just now… did you hear any noise just now?” Bai Ruoxi bit her lip and asked.
If Shen Yaoyao found out, it would be mortifying.
Shen Yaoyao looked puzzled. “No, why? What happened?”
“Nothing. Sister’s leaving now.”
With that, Bai Ruoxi fled the room as if escaping.
After hastily leaving the villa, she indeed saw Bai Jinghong lying on the lawn not far away.
Several empty bottles were scattered beside him.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ruoxi’s heart pounded chaotically, but she also felt a pang of heartache.
Ultimately, she walked over.
Bai Jinghong’s eyes were closed, and he was sleeping soundly.
But even in sleep, his brow was tightly furrowed.
Bai Ruoxi was extremely adept at adjusting. Right now, she couldn’t afford to dwell on what Bai Jinghong had done to her.
Because she also understood that Bai Jinghong had mistaken her for someone else.
Thus, Bai Ruoxi bent down, grabbed Bai Jinghong’s arm, and prepared to pull him up.
Helping a drunkard up wasn’t a difficult task for Bai Ruoxi.
After pulling up his arm, she draped it over her own shoulder, preparing to support him inside.
But just as she placed it there, Bai Jinghong’s arm suddenly exerted force.
Caught off guard, Bai Ruoxi was dragged right down.
In the blink of an eye, she had fallen into Bai Jinghong’s embrace.
“Jinghong, you—”
“Mmph—”
Bai Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Her mind went completely blank.
Because this brat had actually kissed her on the lips.
She didn’t even have time to react.
But soon, Bai Jinghong pulled back slightly, muttering, “Chuchu, why aren’t you responding? Am I not putting in enough effort?”
Bai Ruoxi was utterly dumbfounded. This brat had mistaken her for Qin Chuchu again!
“Jinghong, I—”
“Mmph—”
Before she could finish, Bai Jinghong launched another offensive.
This time, Bai Jinghong was indeed putting in effort, fiercely sucking on her lips.
It was pure, greedy taking, ravishing.
Bai Ruoxi’s cheeks flushed like the evening clouds, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps. She couldn’t breathe at all.
His little snake slowly slithered inside, entwining with Bai Ruoxi’s fragrant tongue.
“Mmm… mmph…”
Only after at least a minute of kissing did Bai Ruoxi snap out of her blank-minded state. She frantically pushed against Bai Jinghong, overcome with a shyness too great to bear.
Bai Jinghong seemed completely oblivious and kept going.
Overwhelmed with shame, Bai Ruoxi was about to bite down.
But Bai Jinghong happened to pull away right then, before turning over and falling into a dead sleep.
Bai Ruoxi scrambled to her feet, staring at Bai Jinghong, her heart practically leaping out of her chest.
Such an absurd thing, and just now, she had actually…
During that dazed minute or so, it was as if she had been enjoying the strange, tingling numbness and sweetness Bai Jinghong brought her.
This was too terrible.
She felt both ashamed and guilty, and her instinct was to flee.
But she couldn’t bear to just leave Bai Jinghong here.
If he stayed out all night, he would surely catch a cold.
She thought about going to get Shen Yaoyao and the others to bring him in, but for some reason, she didn’t.
Helpless, she once again tried to support Bai Jinghong.
This time, Bai Ruoxi was on alert. If this brat dared to be dissolute again, she would pinch him.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jinghong was much quieter this time, not moving around wildly, and obediently let her help him inside.
Bai Ruoxi held him up and finally managed to maneuver him into Bai Jinghong’s room.
When she let him drop onto the bed, Bai Jinghong naturally flopped down.
Dragging Bai Ruoxi down with him.
Bai Ruoxi had indeed expended quite a bit of effort.
She panted a few times, sat up, and punched Bai Jinghong in annoyance.
After the punch, she couldn’t help but stare blankly for a moment.
“Ai…” Bai Ruoxi sighed, lifting her slender hand. She took off Bai Jinghong’s shoes and unbuttoned his shirt.
As for his pants, Bai Ruoxi didn’t touch them.
After straightening him out, covering him with a blanket, and fetching warm water to wipe his face, she finally left the room.
…
The next day, Bai Jinghong woke up groggy and disoriented.
He rubbed his temples; his head still ached.
“Damn, I really did drink too much!”
Bai Jinghong slowly got up out of bed.
“Eh? Wait a minute, I remember I was outside drinking on the lawn last night.”
“How did I get back to my room?”
But Bai Jinghong quickly figured it out.
It must have been Shen Yaoyao or Zi Yue, or one of the others, who brought him back.
But after thinking about it, something still seemed off.
If it was Shen Yaoyao or the others, he wouldn’t be sleeping with his pants on.
They were all his women; there wasn’t a part of him they hadn’t seen. It made no sense to take off his shirt and shoes but leave his pants on!
Thinking about it that way, it could only have been his sister.
Recalling the incident from last night gave Bai Jinghong another headache.
But what needed to be faced, had to be faced. They lived under the same roof; avoiding it was useless.
When he went to the dining room with Shen Yaoyao and the other women, Bai Jinghong saw Bai Ruoxi already seated there.
She was still as peerlessly beautiful as ever, stunning enough to steal one’s breath.
Only, she looked a bit listless, with faint dark circles under her eyes.
She must have been agonizing over yesterday’s incident all night long, unable to sleep.
For him, knowing the truth, that matter was perhaps acceptable. But for Bai Ruoxi, it was somewhat absurd.
If he didn’t clear things up, she might never get past the hurdle in her heart.
“Sis, eating already, huh? Nice smokey-eye makeup look you’ve got going today!” Bai Jinghong deliberately struck up a conversation.
Hearing this, Bai Ruoxi froze and bit her lip. “You… just go eat. Sister’s finished.”
With that, she stood up directly and left the dining room.
Watching Bai Ruoxi’s retreating figure and her current state…
It seemed some issue had definitely arisen between them.
If this continued, their relationship would no longer be purely sibling-like. Even if it was, it would still feel awkward deep down.
After all, he’d done those things last night!
In that case, they might as well have an open and frank talk.
After serious consideration, Bai Jinghong made a decision that went against his ancestors’ teachings…
“System, yesterday you asked me to make a choice, right?”
[Ding! Yes, indeed. The Host hasn’t chosen yet.]
[System prompts again: Option one: Default. Option two: Trigger hidden plotline, and have a grand, earth-shattering… with your sister.]
“I choose option two. Since there’s no blood relation, I don’t need to agonize over this.”
“And Sister won’t have to feel ashamed about this matter!”
[Alright, Host. Choice successful. Bai Ruoxi’s origin plotline will automatically trigger subsequently.]
