Shen Xixi’s lips curled into an even more brazen, triumphant smirk.

Pressing close to Lin Yi’s ear, her full lips parted slightly as she let out a soft, intoxicating whisper:

“Mmm~….”

Lin Yi hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand.

Shen Xixi responded by flicking her tongue out, licking his palm like a mischievous puppy.

Wet. Cool. Ticklish…….

This woman—was she really resorting to such tactics?

It was like she was holding a self-destruct button, ready to blow them both up at any moment.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth in frustration, yet there was nothing he could do to stop her.

In this cramped space, the seductive woman’s scent and the softness of her body threatened to engulf him completely.

If he dared move or flee, the whole situation would be exposed in an instant.

Shen Xixi’s playful eyes gleamed with amusement as she watched him.

Lin Yi took deep breaths, trying desperately to steady himself,

but his body was already stiffening, on the verge of losing control.

Shen Xixi’s smirk widened. Even after over a year, Lin Yi was still as innocent and adorable as ever.

Those few minutes felt like an eternity to Lin Yi—agonizing, tense, his restraint crumbling as his body betrayed him…

“See? Nothing. How could there be women in the men’s restroom? You think this is some kind of adult film? A bunch of women dragging a man into the men’s room…”

“Then let’s find one like that to watch tonight.”

“Ugh, you’re the real pervert here.”

“But lately, haven’t you noticed the atmosphere around us getting more… intense?”

“What atmosphere?”

“The scent of battle. Us men are finally about to rise up…”

“Stop dreaming. Didn’t you hear about that recent prison scandal where…”

As the voices and footsteps of the two men faded into the distance,

Lin Yi finally relaxed, his hands numb as he pushed Shen Xixi away, putting a sliver of distance between them. His voice was cold:

“Goodbye… No, let’s never meet again. Email only from now on. No more face-to-face.”

Shen Xixi clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, her face still glowing with lingering excitement. Gazing at the adorably flustered Lin Yi, her lips curled into a faint, knowing smile:

“Do you really think that’s possible, Lin Yi?”

Lin Yi already knew. The moment he mentioned his engagement, she hadn’t stormed off in anger or resentment.

That told him everything—this madwoman was here for him, and him alone.

But a true man cannot live under another’s thumb forever!

I’m not some spineless pushover!

Seizing the moment while Shen Xixi’s attention was fully on him, he stealthily inched backward toward the restroom door latch.

Watching the smug look on her face as she toyed with him, Lin Yi burned with indignation.

Eyes locked on his target, he raised his hand—then swung it down with full force!

SMACK—

“Mmm—”

Shen Xixi: (⊙▽⊙)! (Shocked Thrilled)

Lin Yi didn’t wait to savor her stunned expression. He flung the door open and bolted like a fugitive from a crime scene.

The sensation of that slap—the softness, the impact—was indescribable. But more importantly, Lin Yi felt an exhilarating rush of triumph!

Meanwhile, Shen Xixi, still dazed but electrified, burst into wild laughter, her eyes glazed over with lingering pleasure.

That was amazing!

Like the first bite of an ice cream cone on a scorching summer day—the clash of heat and cold exploding on her tongue, an overwhelming ecstasy soaring through her, impossible to shake off.

Her tongue flicked out, tracing her reddened lips, now glistening with a pink sheen. Her deep, pool-like eyes swirled with endless fascination as she murmured,

“No rush, Lin Yi. We have all the time in the world.”

Lin Yi stepped out of the restroom and onto the street,

where warm, golden sunlight bathed him, and a gentle breeze brushed past.

His mood had never been better!

Then, suddenly—

A virtual screen, visible only to him, materialized before his eyes.

【Congratulations! You have successfully activated the Love System.】

【System has detected completion of side quest: “Restroom Temptation.”】

【Rewards: Writing Skill +1, Cooking Skill +1】

A system!

Lin Yi couldn’t believe it. After nearly two years in this world—after getting engaged—only now did this “Love System” decide to show up.

If it had appeared earlier, he never would’ve gotten involved with that lunatic Shen Xixi!

—

Lin Yi, No Title

Charm: 10 (Average: 7)

Stamina: 7 (Average: 7)

Technique: 10 (Average: 7)

Luck: 7 (Average: 7)

Skills:

Writing Skill Lv. 3

Cooking Skill Lv. 1

Quests: None available. Please wait patiently.

—

So aside from his charm and technique being three points above average, nothing else stood out.

Still, his writing skill was already at Lv. 2 before the system boosted it to Lv. 3. With this upgrade, his writing would reach new heights.

Was this a blessing in disguise?

Lin Yi pondered—if his writing skill kept improving, could he become a world-renowned novelist?

And if other skills appeared, he could master them all, becoming a true polymath.

Plus, with attributes like these, he could probably raise his stats through quests or points.

Did stamina equate to strength? If he maxed it out, could he punch a planet in half?

Too bad the system didn’t explain. He’d have to figure it out himself.

……

5:00 PM.

Lin Yi opened the front door to a warm, amber glow, the familiar scent of camellias, and his wife—apron-clad, still holding a spatula as she rushed to greet him.

Elegant, refined, gentle, and domestic—the very image of a perfect, mature wife: Zhuang Yayun.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes curving into crescents as she leaned forward, her gaze utterly captivating:

“Welcome home, darling. Would you like dinner first, a bath, or… me?”

Dressed in soft, light-toned attire, her jet-black hair was pinned back with a clip, save for one loose strand framing her face. Even her beige slacks couldn’t hide her exquisite curves.

Her lips, plump and glistening like strawberry jelly, looked irresistibly supple.

With a wife like this, what more could a man ask for? The exhaustion Shen Xixi had inflicted on him vanished instantly.

In this absurd, female-dominated world, Lin Yi must’ve saved the galaxy in a past life to deserve someone so tender and devoted.

So that “Luck: 7” stat had to be fake, right?

It should’ve been at least 70.

…Then again, meeting Shen Xixi balanced it out. No wonder it was still a 7.

Lin Yi pulled Zhuang Yayun into his arms. She looked up at him, the smoldering passion in her eyes igniting, overflowing with unrestrained affection.

They kissed right there in the entryway.

“Honey, the soup’s about to boil. Come with me.”

“Let’s take our time there~~”
