I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Page 34

In performance debate games like Werewolf and I Am an Undercover Agent, she always lost only because she lost the debate.

Everyone says that you can't tell Yunyi's true strength just by looking at his face.

Swire noticed her confusion again: "It's easy to understand now, but I couldn't figure out your thoughts before."

"But nothing's different now, is it?" Yun Yi touched the corner of his eye, his expression still the same as before.

Faced with Yun Yi's innocent question, Swire shared her observations: "From the moment you entered this room, your expression gradually became more pronounced."

"Overall, the expressions are not much different, but the emotions are more outward, and the eyes are more lively... Hmm, it's like a doll has been infused with a soul?"

The analogy was quite vivid, and Yun Yi understood somewhat: "You mean, my expression was fake before, but now it's genuine?"

Swire shook her head: "No, I mean your outward emotions are more abundant. The way you look at me now naturally reveals the corresponding feelings."

Why is that? It's like they've stepped out of their shell—well, not completely out.

Swire looked at Yun Yi, who had suddenly regained his calm expression, and said with some regret, "Why did you suddenly restrain your emotions?"

"I don't feel... at ease." Yun Yi clutched his chest, his gaze darting away. "...Something's strange."

"Their emotions are easily seen through by others."

"You don't seem to mind me looking at the emotions section at all?" Swire raised an eyebrow, which only revealed Yun Yi's feelings more.

"I always felt that it was different."

Yun Yi turned his gaze to the sofa in the center of the bedroom, changed the subject, and resolutely chose to jump from one deep pit to another shallow one: "Anyway, since you've figured out that the abnormal points settlement time is related to you, then I'll be more tactful about it?"

Shi Huaiya's tiger ears twitched, and following Yun Yi's words, she said, "Speak, no need for euphemisms, I need real information."

“…Okay.” Yun Yi nodded stiffly, his mind racing, but he couldn’t come up with any reliable words that wouldn’t make Swire angry.

Yun Yi glanced at Shi Huaiya, who was staring intently at him as she waited, coughed twice, and said directly, "It's because you keep replaying the hug incident in your mind."

"The system program only successfully settled the transaction after you interrupted your reminiscing once."

Poetry and elegance froze for a moment, savoring the embrace?

It seems so, but it shouldn't be to the point where we're constantly thinking about preventing points from being processed.

Could it be that she herself is subconsciously recalling it?

"..." Shi Huaiya was speechless, but the tiger tail that had been swaying leisurely beside her legs visibly swelled up to twice its original size—it was all puffed up, but not as violently as Yun Yi had imagined.

Seeing this, Yun Yi breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, "It's okay. Actually, I was also reminiscing about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to hug you before."

It's only natural to crave warmth.

“This is not the same thing…” Swire said with a complicated look in his eyes, as he raised his fingertips and placed them on the tail that was still sticking up in front of him. He used his five fingers like a comb to forcefully comb down the sticking-up fur.

As she combed her hair, a faint, lingering melancholy rose in Shi Huaiya's heart due to Yun Yi's relaxed words, and the pressure on her fingertips unconsciously increased.

"What's wrong with you?" Yun Yi's expression changed slightly. Was it just his imagination? Had Swire's aura suddenly changed?

"I was just thinking that this can't go on like this." Swire combed her tail, then flicked the tip of her tail irritably, shaking away some loose downy fur.

Yun Yi stared blankly: "Huh?"

What is this saying? Why can't she understand it?

"Yunyi, you know what kind of system you have, right?" Swire put down her neatly arranged long tail and asked softly.

Her emerald green eyes swept over Yun Yi's eyes, nose, and throat, finally settling on his golden-red eyes.

Before Yun Yi could answer, Shi Huaiya took a big step closer, dragging her long tail.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between Shi Huaiya and Yun Yi, which was within the safe range of normal face-to-face social interaction, broke through to a dangerous distance where their breaths were mingled.

“Eating a woman’s rice bowl—” Yun Yi’s belated answer caught in his throat.

Shi Huaiya's warm breath brushed against Yunyi's jaw and neck.

The tiny, barely visible downy hairs and smooth, fair skin of Yunyi felt like it was being given a top-notch massage by a warm breeze, sending a tingling sensation through the senses, much like the strange comfort of a first embrace.

This time, however, Yunyi felt more of an intrusion into her safe zone than the so-called comfort. Her heartbeat quickened erratically, and her breathing became disordered.

Yun Yi swallowed awkwardly, wanting to back away: "—Why are you suddenly so close..."

It doesn't look like they're about to hug.

Shi Huaiya's bright green eyes stared intently at Yun Yi, who was trying to escape.

She suddenly smiled, her eyebrows curved, her eyes sparkled, and she looked so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.

Before Yun Yi could nearly bump into the coffee table while backing away, Swire, with that sweet smile on her face, unceremoniously placed her hand on Yun Yi's shoulder, pinning him to the spot: "You rascal, don't even think about running away!"

ps:

Having checked the chapter's clicks, or rather, the number of readers who followed the story, and found them to be somewhat low, the author, after consideration, decided to make some revisions to the preceding text.

The plot and other content will remain unchanged after the modifications.

The changes only involve rhetoric and descriptive aspects, speeding up the pace, removing some redundant content, and enhancing the sense of space and realism.

Those who are interested can go back and take a look; those who are not interested can skip it without affecting their reading experience.

The revisions will be done approximately one chapter per day (starting from Chapter 2), but this will not affect new updates; it will still be two updates per day.

If you have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to discuss them with the author.

New author, new book! Please add to your favorites, recommend, and comment!

Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 49 The First Time (Please cherish the passive protagonist :D)

Unable to move, Yun Yi was forced to lower his head slightly. The gentle pressure from his neck made Yun Yi feel as if Shi Huaiya was playing with a cat and a mouse with ease.

This vividly reminded Yun Yi of the stark disparity in strength once again—in front of a serious Swire, she indeed couldn't even muster the most basic resistance.

'From now on, all free attribute upgrades must be reserved for Constitution to increase Strength!'

Easily restrained by Swire, Yun Yi was starting to lose his composure. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "No, I'll buy a strength-related skill or talent right now!"

'Tie--'

A warm hand suddenly covered her somewhat sensitive shoulder and neck, breaking through Yun Yi's thoughts and interrupting her intention to call the system, making her startled.

Taking advantage of the moment, the fingertips slowly brushed across Yun Yi's trembling shoulder, carrying a delicate, warm, electric sensation as they meandered up her neck and landed behind her ear.

That hand gently tapped behind Yun Yi's earlobe, pulling Yun Yi into Shi Huai Ya's dark, turbulent green pupils: "—Don't get distracted."

Swire's breath, carrying a hint of mint and a slight scent of blood, burned Yun Yi's ear tips.

"So what are you trying to do?" Yun Yi's ears turned red, and she leaned back, trying to escape the breath that made her chest feel hot: "Suddenly coming up to me, suddenly giving orders—how strange!"

"It's not surprising, what's surprising is you."

Shi Huaiya gently pressed down on Yun Yi's backward lean with her fingers.

Then Yunyi's head was pulled down again, and their breaths truly intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

Swire forced the two of them to remain in this position, while casually stroking the delicate indentation between the tendons and bones of Yunyi's neck with her thumb, and chuckled: "Casual behavior, contradictory words, mindset that is not in the right state of mind... Yunyi, you came to me seeking to sign a contract and actively communicated with me, but you are completely unaware of your own situation."

"Uh, how could that be? Didn't I explain my situation before signing the contract?" Yun Yi's eyelashes trembled, his tone hesitant.

Sure enough.

Shi Huaiya sighed. Spending time with Yun Yi really made up for all the sighs she had missed in her more than twenty years of life.

The person involved was completely baffled.

"You mean you'll be spied on and arrested? That's just one of the reasons you have to sign a contract and use the system."

"In fact, even considering only this aspect of the situation, you are still quite lax. For example, you didn't even seriously study the system's judgment rules beforehand, did you?"

As she spoke, Swire pinched Yunyi's cheek.

After releasing her hand five seconds later, and with Yun Yi's stunned expression almost overflowing, she reached out her other hand and deftly placed it between Yun Yi's drooping fingers, completing their interlocking.

The point where their skin touched felt like a tiny electric current had exploded, causing Yun Yi's body to tremble and his face to flush.

[The current physical contact event has ended. Points will now be calculated.]

The system panel slid out from the edge of Yunyi's retina, whose face was burning hot, and quickly completed the settlement process.

"How many points?" Swire seemed to have expected it. As she asked, she released her hand again after silently counting to five. Their fingertips brushed against each other's skin, and they both felt the silky smooth touch of milk.

Yun Yi blushed and glanced at the result, his expression subtly changing so much that the heat on his face subsided: "0.1... No, can it be that little?"

"It seems that without any other multiplier bonuses, the base score of the event level is only multiplied by the multiplier from the duration of contact."

Swire's lips curled up slightly, and her ear tips twitched happily: "100 out of 720 should be a little over 0.13. It seems that the system will automatically discard the extra decimal part."

Yun Yi's brain subconsciously followed suit: "Yes, the points for the land earlier... no, after all you've said, you still haven't explained why you're so close to me and why you're treating me like this?"

"Even if it's for testing the system, is it necessary to keep doing this?" Yun Yi gestured to the excessively close distance between the two.

“You weren’t led astray, that’s good.” Swire commented with a smile, without answering Yun Yi’s question.

Yun Yi's questioning gaze never left him.

Swire suddenly chuckled and, in the instant Yun Yi was stunned, pulled her into her arms.

She gently pressed one hand down to her own neck from the back of Yun Yi's neck, while her other hand wrapped around Yun Yi's supple waist. Her tiger tail unconsciously wrapped around Yun Yi's wrist, completing this embrace that was entirely led by Swire herself.

[...Points will now be settled]

[...Final score: 0.1]

The settlement process was broadcast step by step, but it became unclear to Yunyi.

Yun Yi's nose was filled with the cool, alluring scent of cedarwood mixed with a hint of rust from the Shi Huai Ya brand. He could clearly feel the other person's heaving chest, the rough, fine hairs of the tiger tail rubbing against his wrist, and the violent pounding of his heart after the embrace had stopped.

The loud pounding of my heart drowned out all other sounds.

Yun Yi took a deep breath, trying to control his intense emotions, refraining from returning the hug, and lowering his heart rate.

She succeeded, but not completely.

Yun Yi did not hug back, but his heart was still beating rapidly, though the frequency had decreased slightly.

This allowed Yun Yi to vaguely hear the supple texture of Swire's skin, pressed against his ear, trembling rhythmically with the gentle vibrations of her throat: "...Can't you hear me? You could have hugged me before, I thought..."

"Is it okay?...Alright...Let's begin~"

What can we do? What should we start?

Yun Yi exhaled hot air restrainedly, his white hair slightly disheveled. His somewhat dazed head wanted to press closer to Swire so he could hear what Swire, who was clearly acting strangely, was saying.

Shi Huaiya's warm hands, however, clung to Yun Yi's flushed face, gently pulling him close.

Her water-stained eyelashes brushed against Yun Yi's forehead, and her clear, watery eyes met Yun Yi's gaze.

Yun Yi's eyes reflected Shi Huaiya's moist gaze.

Swire murmured "the last test," and before Yun Yi could react, she pressed herself against him.

Yun Yi felt Shi Huaiya's warm, moist breath brush against his face, a tingling sensation that spread to his lips before pausing for a moment.

"Are you ready?"

Shi Huaiya's breath sprayed directly onto Yun Yi's nose.

Yun Yi stared at Yin Shihuaiya as she approached, her vision filled only with bright green eyes, and asked, bewildered, "...What?"

"..." Swire didn't say anything more, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her head tilted forward.

Her slightly cool lips landed on Yun Yi's lips in an instant, then she breathed out, hesitated but determined, and turned her lips slightly to completely press them against Yun Yi's.

[...Settlement...]

The system's sporadic announcements left no trace in Yun Yi's mind.

This awkward yet highly aggressive question had already captivated Yun Yi's entire mind.

—The slight stinging sensation of Swire's lips brushing against her own, the minty coolness of her tongue, the trembling of her fingertips pressing against her skin, the gradual warmth spreading around her…

Everything felt like sharp blades, piercing Yun Yi's mind one by one, leaving her mentally blank, with only one trembling thought remaining:

'Did I... get raped?'

While Yun Yi was distracted, Shi Huaiya finished reading the poem clumsily and then decisively withdrew.

She's just like an irresponsible, scumbag woman.
