Ah—my eyes are going blind!
Because the system had constantly pressured Bai Yao to check Qiu Ye’s “hardware” functionality, he had subconsciously glanced over before leaving the bathroom.
With that one glance, he felt like his soul had been traumatized.
Startled, he bolted out like a frightened rabbit.
Even though they were both men and had the same equipment, Bai Yao’s face felt a bit hot, and he felt inexplicably shy.
‘That’s almost on par with a system prize, isn’t it?! I’m so jealous—’
‘That perverted, obsessed woman has a massive appetite! Is she not afraid of dying?’
‘It’s so… huge!’
‘No, what exactly am I being shy about!’
Stepping out of the bathroom and onto the balcony, Bai Yao’s brow was still slightly furrowed.
But something wasn’t right.
Why did Qiu Ye have a physical reaction? It was just a back scrub.
According to him, didn’t he go to bathhouses for scrubs all the time?
‘Was I seen as a woman?’
However, looking at Qiu Ye’s attitude toward him, it was highly likely that the guy just had a normal physiological reaction…
As a man himself, Bai Yao knew that sometimes the “lower house” couldn’t be controlled, even when there wasn’t a single shred of actual impulse.
Bai Yao looked down to brush off the water that had splashed onto his clothes, only to suddenly realize the fabric was clinging tightly to his chest.
He froze for a moment, suddenly understanding why Qiu Ye might have reacted…
Although they were small, delicate, and quite cute, the way they were half-concealed was actually quite erotic.
‘Wait, do they feel like they’ve grown a bit more?’
Bai Yao’s chest had been aching quite badly.
If he wasn’t mistaken, his body was actually developing in secret, waiting for the day he finally noticed to give him a real shock.
Even without the system pushing things along, they would likely become grand and perky bit by bit.
Just like those girls going through puberty.
**[Task Complete!]**
**[Not only did you help Qiu Ye scrub his back and solve his problem, but you finally saw his true strength! Mm! Although it was a bit forced, you were drooling with desire!]**
Bai Yao subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth.
There was no drool! What kind of nonsense was the system narrating now?!
**[Reward Obtained: 100]**
**[You went above and beyond for this task! For the first time, he was attracted by your body! Although we are hollow and lacking on the inside, we are beautiful and charming on the outside— Even though you are over thirty, don’t feel inferior! You still have plenty of sex appeal!]**
**[However, for a contestant aiming to be a thousand-man slayer, your performance was underwhelming! You should have made him crave your body the very first time you met!]**
**[Successfully aroused the target’s desire, exceeding the task requirements! Your body has become even better and more erotic!]**
“???”
This was exactly why!
Just the basic reward was enough! Why did there have to be an “exceeding” reward!
A shock went through Bai Yao’s heart.
An image immediately surfaced in his mind of a Succubus haunting a male dormitory and starting a massive orgy.
Anxiety instantly clouded his mind.
He didn’t want a so-called “erotic” body! Even though his roommates seemed like decent people… excluding Wang Zuhao.
But people’s hearts were unpredictable.
Who knew if they would actually try something with him!
The back door was suddenly pushed open, making Bai Yao jump.
Chen Zhilong walked onto the balcony, lit a cigarette, and asked casually, “Is Qiu Ye still not done? I’m in a rush to use the bathroom.”
Whether it was because of his “villain” face or his record of beating up roommates—or perhaps everyone was just easygoing—ever since Qiu Ye forbade smoking inside the dorm, this group of smokers had moved to the balcony or the hallway.
“He’s slow because of the broken hand,” Bai Yao replied expressionlessly, though his heart was racing and his eyes were darting everywhere.
Noticing his unease, Chen Zhilong glanced at him but continued smoking and playing on his phone without any reaction.
‘Huh?’
‘Has the reward not kicked in yet? Or is it because the balcony light isn’t on and he didn’t notice?’
Seeing nothing unusual about Chen Zhilong, Bai Yao breathed a small sigh of relief.
He looked down to inspect his own chest.
Did the shape seem more perky than before? To the naked eye, they definitely looked a bit larger.
He estimated they were already… an A cup?
He wasn’t a woman, nor had he ever been with one, and he certainly didn’t have the chance to take measurements now.
His knowledge of cup sizes was purely based on guesswork.
So, where exactly was this “eroticism” manifesting?
He looked himself over but couldn’t see anything particularly erotic.
Lost in thought, Bai Yao began to anxiously bite his nails.
“You’re always scowling. How can you have so much on your mind?”
Chen Zhilong said helplessly when he saw him like this.
“The only time you seem a bit better is when you’re with Qiu Ye.”
“He makes me angry all day long.”
On the contrary, Chen Zhilong felt like Bai Yao was actually enjoying himself.
After all, Wang Zuhao also provoked Bai Yao all day, but Bai Yao always gave him a cold shoulder and never responded.
His attitude toward Qiu Ye was completely different.
Chen Zhilong finished his cigarette and headed back into the dorm.
Left alone on the balcony, Bai Yao looked around to make sure no one else was there before placing his hands over his chest.
‘Whoa! They really did get bigger! The texture feels meatier than before!’
It was at the level where, with his fingers together and slightly curved into a bowl shape, they fit just right.
‘What about other places?’
He twisted around to check his rear, pinched his waist, and lifted his damp pant legs to check his legs and feet.
Well, since those weren’t areas he usually paid attention to, how could he tell if there had been a change?
“What am I going to do in the future…”
He couldn’t exactly start wearing a chest binder or something, could he?
Bai Yao sighed, ducked back into the dorm, quickly grabbed a pair of pajamas from his wardrobe, and ran back to the balcony.
Standing in the corner of the balcony, hiding from everyone, he looked around guiltily before beginning to pull off his wet shirt to change into his pajamas.
He was both afraid that the growth of his chest would be mocked as freakish and terrified that his roommates would develop some sort of predatory intent toward him.
The bathroom door creaked open.
Qiu Ye, wearing only a pair of large boxer shorts and no shirt, stepped out of the bathroom.
The first thing he saw was Bai Yao’s bare, fair, and slender back.
He froze.
Hearing the movement, Bai Yao scrambled to speed up his actions, frantically pulling his shirt down and throwing the button-up pajamas over himself, looking down as he fumbled with the buttons.
Only then did Bai Yao turn around.
With an expressionless face masking his crimson cheeks, he hurried back into the dorm with his wet shirt, not daring to give Qiu Ye even a single glance.
Qiu Ye casually tossed his dirty clothes into the laundry sink and ran a hand through his damp hair, returning to the dorm as if nothing had happened.
As he passed behind Bai Yao, he couldn’t help but steal another glance.
Even though it had only been a glimpse, and the lighting on the balcony was dim—the night sky draping over Bai Yao like a sheer veil—he could only see a general outline.
But that made it feel even more stimulating, triggering a desire to explore and see things more clearly.
Under those loose clothes, his waist was actually that slender, accented by two adorable and sexy waist dimples.
That smooth, delicate back; that swan-like, long neck; that fine skin that seemed to glow in the light…
First a wet-t-shirt provocation, and then a back-view provocation! Who could withstand that?
‘Damn! Is Bai Yao doing this on purpose? Is he trying to turn me gay?’
Qiu Ye returned to his computer, feeling restless.
He kept stealing glances at Bai Yao, feeling like the atmosphere between them was thick with awkwardness.
“Uh… Bai Yao, do you have clothes to wash? Want to throw them in the machine together?”
“Bai Yao might as well just wash them for you,” Wang Zuhao chimed in, sounding annoyed.
“Is he your mom or something? Just go find a girlfriend already.”
‘To be fair, women aren’t nearly as gentle as Bai Yao,’ Qiu Ye grumbled inwardly.
