Chapter 8: Afterwards, I really deserved to die!

“I’m really sorry, Senior!”

After everything, Li Chunsheng bowed ninety degrees to Liuxia, apologizing sincerely.

“Huh…? Ah, it’s fine?” Liuxia blinked in confusion, still not fully reacting.

“Why is Chunsheng apologizing to me? When clearly I’m the one who should thank him for the treat?”

As her rationality gradually returned from the pleasure of tasting her junior’s blood, Liuxia immediately sank into immense shame.

“No, how could I think that? Did I really just treat Chunsheng as food?”

The girl’s face grew pale, her body trembling, showing great inner turmoil.

Seeing her like this only made Li Chunsheng feel more guilty. He thought: “I was too impulsive. If I’d just told Senior directly, he would’ve cooperated, right?”

Yet he had chosen to be sneaky, exploiting his senior’s trust to uncover the truth.

Wouldn’t such behavior, once exposed, hurt Senior?

“Could it be that deep down, I’ve already started seeing Senior as some unattainable flower of a girl, subconsciously keeping distance?” At this thought, Li Chunsheng felt heartbroken.

“I’m such a bastard. Senior is Senior—forever the senior I respect. How could I view him as a girl? That’s disrespect!”

However, Li Chunsheng hadn’t expected his senior’s healing power to be so extraordinarily effective. The wounds covered by the girl’s saliva had miraculously healed in the blink of an eye.

This effect far surpassed the Bronze-rank authorities he’d seen in hospitals—at least Silver rank.

Though a bit disappointing, for now, the power seemed to activate only upon contact with his senior’s saliva.

As for it possibly consuming his own 【Gold Content】, that was no concern to him at all.

“But with such an immediate effect, Senior will probably notice soon too, right?”

So after confirming the results, Li Chunsheng apologized on the spot.

Next, he openly explained his earlier thoughts and intentions. After hearing everything, Liuxia felt no blame toward him.

“I see… so right now, I’m still… useful to Chunsheng…”

“I only exploited his trust to eat him… while Chunsheng was just too shy to ask directly because of my appearance and told a little lie… Compared to him, my motives were far too evil…”

Liuxia deeply blamed herself for a while. Seeing Li Chunsheng still bowing, she said: “Chunsheng, I don’t blame you… If you need anything in the future, just tell your senior… Don’t worry about me misunderstanding…”

“No matter how I look now, inside I’m still the senior you know, okay? So… you don’t have to treat me specially.”

“I understand, Senior.” Li Chunsheng nodded. Through this honest talk, both reaffirmed that their relationship remained one of brothers.

“But please let me make it up to you somehow!” Li Chunsheng said: “I think Senior needs some properly fitting clothes right now!”

Even now, Liuxia was still wearing the oversized outfit stolen from someone else.

“Hm? No need…” Liuxia instinctively tried to refuse, but seeing his serious expression, she nodded: “Alright… then you handle it.”

The rest of the cooking went without further incidents.

Soon, the dinner cooked by Liuxia was served.

As expected, it tasted absolutely delicious. For some reason, Liuxia had become quite skilled at cooking at some point.

However, both were preoccupied and had no interest in talking during the meal. When discussing where Liuxia would sleep afterward, the girl proactively offered to take the sofa.

“Chunsheng, there’s only one single bed in your place, right? Two people squeezing together would be uncomfortable. Senior’s a guy, so sleeping on the sofa is totally fine!”

Liuxia glanced at the living room sofa and praised: “Actually, this sofa is pretty big too. Your landlord really is a good person—leaving you so many nice things!”

Li Chunsheng offered to sleep on the sofa himself, but Liuxia refused with her senior authority.

“Really, Chunsheng! Didn’t I say it? Senior’s still a man, you know?”

Liuxia gave him a dangerous look and huffed: “Or… have you already stopped seeing Senior as a brother?”

Li Chunsheng surrendered and obediently went to sleep on the bed.

Watching him slink away, Liuxia chuckled softly, finding it quite fun to tease him.

But as she laughed, her smile gradually faded.

“Brothers, huh? Yeah… but now… are we still just brothers…?” The girl murmured softly.

In the darkness, Li Chunsheng lay on his bed with his phone, browsing for suitable clothes for his senior.

“Hm? Why is women’s clothing so expensive?” Li Chunsheng frowned. This was going to be a huge expense.

But when he switched to men’s clothing, he found nothing that would fit the current Liuxia.

Because her figure was simply too exaggerated—especially those two towering snow peaks. Forcing her into men’s clothes would probably…

He himself wouldn’t be able to handle it first!

This made him recall the scene before bed: his freshly washed senior walking around the living room in his oversized shirt.

Boyfriend shirt, occasionally trembling peaks, and the fresh post-shower fragrance carrying a faint milky scent…

All of it had dealt a massive mental shock to Li Chunsheng, a two-lifetime virgin.

Even now, he was forcing himself to focus on other things to suppress the impact.

“No, no—I absolutely can’t think about it anymore!” Li Chunsheng warned himself: “That’s blasphemy against Senior!”

“I have to hurry and pick clothes for Senior!”

“Damn… everything’s so expensive!”

“Let’s check the sales…”

“No way? Girls earn money this easily? Even on sale it’s this pricey?”

After browsing for a long time, Li Chunsheng sadly realized he couldn’t easily afford women’s clothing—at least not openly.

In reality, he had accumulated a decent secret stash, but that money couldn’t be spent casually.

Suddenly, among countless product images, he spotted a price outlier that stood out.

“Hm? Only 99 Black Iron coins? So cheap?”

“But… this style…” (Well~ those who’ve seen the video should know what it is)

Li Chunsheng’s throat bobbed slightly. He added the item to the cart. After comparing and finding nothing cheaper, he decisively placed the order.

“Making Senior wear something like this… won’t make her angry, right?”

“But if I explain properly, Senior should understand…”

Li Chunsheng kept convincing himself inwardly, but imagining his senior in that outfit made his body react dishonorably with excitement.

“Aaahhh… I can’t hold it anymore!”

“Sorry, Senior!”

Li Chunsheng skillfully opened a certain website. After some operations, a strange floral scent soon filled the entire room.

A long while later, he tossed away the crumpled tissue and wiped his sweat.

“That felt good…”

Then he sank into deep guilt.

“I really am scum!”

That night, both brothers fell asleep carrying their respective guilt.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Investigator Liao couldn’t sleep at all.

“Damn it! Just what’s going on with those two?!”
