The next day.

Chu Feng woke up with a hangover, his head still aching a little.

So much for sleeping off the last of the wine.

Where am I?

Chu Feng looked around. The room was pink, and there was a round bathtub in the distance. It looked a lot like the place in his dream last night.

He looked down and saw a girl sleeping beside him.

“Huh?”

She was wearing nothing but a bathrobe, which did little to hide her curvy figure.

He leaned closer and saw the beautiful girl’s face, turned away from him.

It was Su Yun, the girl he’d been thinking about day and night.

Could the scene from his dream really have happened?

Had he really slept with Su Yun?

And judging by their surroundings, they were definitely in a hotel—one with a suite meant for couples, no less...

The girl beside him must have chosen the room.

So she really had fallen for him at first sight!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have booked such a luxurious room for him while he was drunk, let alone slept beside him.

At the thought, Chu Feng wrapped his arms around Su Yun from behind.

……

Su Yun felt movement beside her and slowly woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Feng’s punchable face staring at her with a leering expression.

One of Chu Feng’s arms was wrapped around her, reaching across her back.

“I’m doomed.”

The thought flashed through Su Yun’s mind.

She’d planned to get up before Chu Feng. She hadn’t expected him to wake first.

“Xiao Yun’er, I never thought you’d actually want to share a room like this with me.”

“You look so shy and sweet, but it turns out you’re pretty bold underneath.”

Chu Feng whispered in Su Yun’s ear.

His warm breath brushed her ear, making her limbs feel weak.

“No! The hotel only had this room left, and you were drunk. I didn’t know where you lived,” Su Yun hurriedly protested.

She could feel Chu Feng’s left arm around her and his right hand stroking her back.

But she didn’t dare struggle too hard.

She was wearing a bathrobe—and nothing underneath.

She was afraid that if she moved too much, the fact that she had nothing on under the robe would be exposed.

So all she dared do was hold herself tightly and clutch her bathrobe closed.

……

Chu Feng saw that Su Yun still wouldn’t admit she was in love with him.

His right hand moved over her again.

Even through the bathrobe, he could feel her curvy figure.

Unfortunately for him, the girl in front of him was still too shy.

Her delicate arms were clamped protectively over her chest.

She wouldn’t let him get any closer.

After stroking her through the bathrobe for a while, Chu Feng felt it wasn’t enough.

A bold idea came to him.

Take off that annoying bathrobe!

……

As Chu Feng continued to touch her, Su Yun didn’t dare move. She was so embarrassed and furious she could hardly bear it.

Last night, she could at least tell herself that Chu Feng had been drunk and didn’t know what he was doing.

Besides, she’d had a lot to drink too.

But today, they were both sober.

And here she was, letting her rival from her previous life touch her without resisting.

This was so humiliating...

Just as Su Yun was about to flee the room in her bathrobe, she felt someone tug at one side of it.

She turned her head. Chu Feng was trying to pull off the only thing she had on.

There was no way she’d let him get away with that!

If the bathrobe came off too, she’d be completely naked.

She quickly clutched it tightly, refusing to let Chu Feng pull it away.

Luckily, she’d taken a gene-optimization potion. In a test of strength, she could hold her own.

After a tug-of-war,

her bathrobe hadn’t budged.

……

Chu Feng stared at the girl in front of him, completely baffled.

Su Yun had such slender arms and legs. How was she this strong?

“I refuse to believe I can’t outmuscle a petite woman like you. I’m a grown man!”

Chu Feng pulled harder at the bathrobe.

……

Su Yun wasn’t about to give in either.

She held on to her last line of defense with all her strength.

……

After a tense struggle,

“Riiip—”

The sound of fabric tearing rang out. The bathrobe, which had been intact, was damaged in their struggle.

Su Yun’s shoulder, which the bathrobe had covered, was suddenly exposed.

Seeing this, Chu Feng reached for her shoulder.

With the bathrobe no longer in the way, she could feel his touch directly.

That only made Su Yun feel more humiliated.

“Tss—”

Chu Feng pulled at the tear in the bathrobe again, widening it.

Luckily, that was when the system’s voice rang out.

“Ding-dong! Host has completed the task: bathe in the bedroom for one hour and spend the night in the bedroom bed. Humiliation points +60,000. Bonus reward: [Goddess’s Wish].”

The task was complete!

That meant she could get off the bed.

Su Yun didn’t dare stay on the bed a moment longer. If this went on, she really would give in.

She shoved Chu Feng away and struggled to her feet.

But the bathrobe had a huge tear in it, leaving her dangerously exposed.

She could see what had happened to her.

Because of the tear, one side of her chest was exposed.

She immediately grabbed Chu Feng’s suit from the bedside table and put it on.

Then, red-faced and covering her chest, she ran out of the bedroom.

……

Chu Feng was stunned by the sudden turn of events. He’d just been about to stop the beautiful girl, but the glimpse of her exposed skin caught his eye. He lost a few precious moments, and she escaped right in front of him.

“Ah, maybe I was in too much of a hurry?” Chu Feng said regretfully.

But when he remembered what he’d just seen, a smile crept onto his face.

One day, he’d win Su Yun over.

……

After running out of the bedroom, Su Yun gasped for breath, her heart pounding.

“Ding-dong! The host feels humiliated because Chu Feng saw her chest. Humiliation points +10,000.”

“Aah!”

He really had seen it.

She covered her face with both hands, her cheeks burning.

Even she had barely seen it herself...

And that jerk Chu Feng had seen it.

After taking a moment to calm down,

Su Yun decided to leave the hotel. It was far too dangerous to stay here.

When she reached the suite’s living room, she quickly opened the [Shop] and picked out a casual outfit to wear.

Then she left Chu Feng’s suit in the living room and walked out alone.

……

Meanwhile, Chu Feng made a phone call.

“Hello, Mr. Chu. What can I do for you?” a man’s voice answered.

“Assistant Jiang, come pick me up at Dinghao Hotel,” Chu Feng said.

“Yes, sir.”

After hanging up, his assistant, Jiang Wenbin, looked surprised.

He’d been working for Mr. Chu for quite a while, but this was the first time he’d received a call asking him to pick Mr. Chu up from a hotel in the morning.

Could Mr. Chu have spent the night somewhere else?

……

After returning home, Su Yun immediately called Chen Shasha.

“Beep—”

“Hello? Is that you, Divine Maiden?” Chen Shasha said.

“Chen Shasha!” Su Yun shouted angrily.
