Chapter 293: It's Time to Make Him Stronger
Quite surprising, usually it could even last up to an hour, but now…
Just 10 minutes, and that includes kissing, cuddling, and other things.
One person was already whining as if they had already lost. Meanwhile, the other had already started getting dressed.
Maybe because they were used to playing for long periods of time, Lin Yibai didn't like this kind of 'leave halfway' behavior.
Coming in a rush, leaving in a rush.
She was also someone who liked to stay clean, so she had to grab some wet wipes to clean herself.
Ugh, it was freezing.
Lin Yibai rested her right foot on her left and leaned back in the chair, looking kind of lazy. The only main problem was his strength was steadily declining.
She muttered, “This can’t go on like this!”
If she didn’t help Xia Changyu get stronger soon, their relationship would turn into one of those awkward couples with no chemistry. That guy was just getting weaker and weaker.
But the usual ways didn’t seem reliable. Hoping that medicine or exercise would help? Yeah right, might as well wish for Xia Changyu to suddenly get a miracle power-up and go wild for once!
Lin Yibai’s body had been enhanced by the system. Actually, Xia Changyu had been really impressive to keep up this long. If it were anyone else, she couldn’t even imagine it.
She suddenly realized something, “To beat the system, I need to use the system.”
While waiting for the... intense feelings in her body to cool down in the hotel room, Lin Yibai checked her system status again.
Value: 77%.
Everyone knew that every time she did that with Xia Changyu, the female value would increase quickly. Last time she checked, it was only around 70%. And that wasn’t even long ago!
Like, does Xia Changyu have nothing else to do? Just doing it every day now?
The problem was, today it didn’t feel satisfying.
She kept looking at the rewards she could pick.
She hoped that when the value reached 80%, she could use the system to give Xia Changyu a power-up.
But the system clearly focused on Lin Yibai, so she thought, “So basically, I have to get a benefit first before Xia Changyu can get one too.”
【Reward: Share the Joy】
What kind of joke is that?! With things like this already out of control, if Lin Yibai shared double the joy with him, wouldn't he just drop dead right there?
【Reward: The Guide to a Happy Relationship – Learn More Ways to Be Happy (Works for Both Genders)】
She shook her head again.
That kind of reward only solves the surface problem. The real problem wasn’t skill, it was physical weakness.
There’s a saying: “Strength beats skill.” If he’s strong enough, who needs fancy tricks?
【Reward: The harder the guy works, the faster the girl recovers energy.】
Nope. Not okay.
What kind of weird succubus-style reward is this? This is the opposite of what Lin Yibai wants.
She’s not the one who needs to recover energy, Xia Changyu is!
Otherwise, the way things are going, he won’t even last six months before totally burning out.
She kept checking for other rewards:
【Reward: The harder the girl works, the faster the guy recovers energy.】
The total opposite of the last reward, but what kind of crap is that?!
“I’m the one who’s become the girl now. I’m doing this to feel good, not to work hard so someone else can feel good while I suffer, get it?!”
But at least she had a plan now.
Lin Yibai quietly muttered to herself, “In short, either I lower my strength, or I raise Xia Changyu’s strength.”
If there was no other choice, she could work a bit harder herself to boost Xia Changyu’s energy. But seriously, it just felt so annoying.
What if one day he’s like, “Come here. You do all the work”?
Nope. Absolutely not.
Anyway, these were just small rewards. She had to wait until her female value hit 80%, maybe there’d be a big reward then.
Time kept ticking by…
Xia Changyu was feeling much better now after resting for a while, though he still looked a bit weak.
He saw Lin Yibai staring into space, so he got up and asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you’re thinking about something.”
“Huh? Me?” Lin Yibai snapped out of the reward screen and calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask, are you feeling better now?”
Xia Changyu: “……”
How bad did things have to get for a girl to ask a guy a question like that?
He felt embarrassed… and kind of useless.
But sadly, it wasn’t a lie.
When he was younger, he used to laugh at guys who couldn’t last more than three or five minutes, or seven or eight. But now the joke had come full circle, and landed right on his own head.
With a forced smile, Xia Changyu replied, “Yeah… I’m feeling much better.”
Lin Yibai let out a sigh of relief and said, “Phew—good to hear. I’m gonna head home now. If I stay out too late, my parents might think I’m doing something bad.”
Argh! Xia Changyu felt like he had been stabbed.
Wait… So in Lin Yibai’s mind, what just happened wasn’t even long enough to count as “doing something bad”?
Did that mean it didn’t even feel like anything to her?
Lin Yibai seemed to notice what he was thinking, smiled a little, and held back a laugh. “Don’t worry about it. And don’t feel bad. What you’re going through is totally normal.”
Xia Changyu: “What part of that is normal?”
Lin Yibai replied, “For most guys, three to five minutes, or seven to eight, is about average!”
Xia Changyu said, “Well, I want to do better than average, like we used to. You’ll see.”
Lin Yibai laughed, “You? I’d trust myself more than I’d trust you!”
Xia Changyu: “……”
Lin Yibai felt a bit sorry for him. After all, her own value was getting close to 80%, and Xia Changyu really did look pitiful right now. She decided she should help him out when the time came.
But it needed to be done in a clever way.
She leaned in and whispered mysteriously, “There’s a special spirit people believe in. They say if you make a wish to the mountain spirit with all your heart, your wish will come true!”
Xia Changyu replied, “That sounds like superstition…”
Before he could finish, Lin Yibai cut him off. “Don’t worry about whether it’s superstition or not. Just tell me, when the time comes, do you have the guts to follow what I say and make a wish to the spirit?”
Xia Changyu hesitated, then said, “I still think it’s kind of silly, but… okay. What kind of wish do you want me to make?”
Lin Yibai smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out later.”
She had to wait until her sync value hit 80% to decide. And no matter what happened afterward, she could always say it was because of that mysterious spirit.
She’d just explain, ‘Oh, that change? It happened because of the wish you made.’
Of course, she could also add a condition.
Like: the wish only works if he truly loves Lin Yibai, and promises to love her forever. Because of that deep love, the spirit gives him great power.
And since the system always boosts Lin Yibai first, Xia Changyu would only get stronger because she let him.
In other words, the reason Xia Changyu became strong… was because of Lin Yibai.
And if one day Xia Changyu got tired of her or stopped loving her, he’d go back to being that weak, useless guy.
Nice. Perfect plan~
Xia Changyu asked, “So when are we going?”
Lin Yibai looked at her sync value again and said, “No rush.”
Once it hit 80%, they could go. Of course, she could speed up the process too. So before going to the mountain spirit, she needed to hit 80%.
And raising the value? Super simple.
Because every time they did that thing, it went up a lot.
She looked over at Xia Changyu with a mischievous grin.
Looks like it’s time to turn up the intensity.
Prepare yourself!
