Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

"what!"

"You...you're willing to help me?!"

Lady Rose's captivating eyes widened instantly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

An unbelievable surprise and a hint of barely perceptible cunning flashed across her eyes.

Her rosy lips parted slightly, and her breath carried an alluring sweet fragrance.

She originally thought that Lin Bei was the kind of man with a cold heart.

To get Lin Bei to agree to help her, she would have to exhaust her persuasive skills and even pay a huge price.

She had even secretly clenched her fingers in her sleeve, preparing to offer herself to Lin Bei, who held the token, according to the agreement she had made with Urokodaki Sakon long ago.

However, just as she was suppressing her inner bewilderment and shame and preparing to take this step, she heard Lin Bei's words, which surprised her quite a bit.

Lin Bei was willing to help her without any conditions or demands.

After she finished recounting in detail the dangers facing herself and the Rose House.

Lin Bei's reaction was surprisingly swift and decisive.

He agreed without making things difficult at all!

This sudden smoothness caught her completely off guard.

She was momentarily stunned by the shock.

This led her to have a misconception.

Could it be... could it be Lin Bei, who outwardly presents a cold and aloof demeanor, seemingly indifferent to women and detached from worldly desires?

In reality, he had already been captivated by her beauty.

Is it just out of consideration for young people's pride and so-called modesty that they deliberately put on this aloof attitude?

How was it said again?

To use a trendy term she recently heard—is this what they call tsundere?

A proud and arrogant little man.

A smug, almost contemptuous smile quietly spread through Lady Rose's heart.

She knew it!

With my stunning beauty and enviable figure, how could I possibly fail to handle such a greenhorn?

Recalling the scene of their first meeting at the Rose House, his seemingly calm eyes were clearly fixed on her deliberately exposed, smooth, creamy shoulders, and between the full breasts that were faintly visible through the thin veil!

That gaze!

Looking back now, it seems that she wasn't any different from other men when they first met her.

It was that look in his eyes that gave her such a clear signal, making her certain that Lin Bei was no different in essence from those vulgar men who fawned over her; they were all ordinary people who coveted physical beauty.

Why would she go to such lengths to use seduction as her bargaining chip today?

Thinking of this, Lady Rose couldn't help but slightly curl her full lips upwards.

It curves into a charming arc.

The worry and helplessness instantly vanished from those carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes.

Instead, it flowed with a captivating, mesmerizing luster, like shimmering spring water.

Like a cunning fox that has finally stolen its prey, she rose gracefully and alluringly from the couch.

Her plain white linen dress flowed like ripples with her movements, outlining breathtaking curves.

She moved with light, graceful steps, carrying a rich, alluring rose scent, slowly and seductively approaching Lin Bei, who was sitting upright.

Then without the slightest hesitation.

Her body went limp, and she naturally fell into Lin Bei's arms like a puddle of water.

Her slender arms rose naturally, like two soft vines, instantly wrapping around Lin Bei's neck.

She tilted her charming face up, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes, misty as if shrouded in the misty rain of Jiangnan, stared straight into Lin Bei's eyes.

Her red lips parted slightly, her breath as sweet as orchids, and every word she spoke carried a natural allure, like a hook that could penetrate straight into the depths of one's heart.

"Lin Beijun...you're willing to help me...that's wonderful..."

Her voice was deliberately lowered and softer, with a perfectly timed breath.

"But... such immense kindness and virtue, I... I truly don't know how to repay you..."

The warm, soft fabric enveloped me, its amazing elasticity and heat transmitted through the thin material.

It's enough to make any man with normal function and orientation get excited and lose his rationality.

Lin Bei's body did indeed stiffen for a moment, which was unavoidable.

He was also a man of flesh and blood, and faced with this situation, his physiological instincts could not be completely suppressed.

However, the warmth deep in Lin Bei's eyes cooled and solidified at an alarming speed the moment Lady Rose threw herself into his arms, eventually turning into a deep, frozen pool.

The flame of instinctive desire had barely flickered when it was ruthlessly extinguished by his even stronger willpower.

He was neither an ascetic monk nor a clueless blockhead.

Under normal circumstances, or even at any other time, Lin Bei would have instinctively accepted the advances of a beauty like Lady Rose.

After all, there's no one in this world who wouldn't eat meat when it's practically offered to them.

He's not a saint.

After all, even sages say that food and sex are human nature.

But not now!

He had thought that after that frank conversation,

Lady Rose has realized that the root of Rose House's predicament lies in her over-reliance on and abuse of beauty as a weapon.

She must have deeply realized her mistakes and is now determined to turn over a new leaf and get back on the right track.

He looked forward to seeing a woman who, even in dire straits, would try to stand tall and struggle to survive using her wisdom and abilities.

However, Lady Rose's behavior at this moment was undoubtedly a cold slap in the face to him.

Lady Rose's self-righteous seduction was like a basin of dirty water mixed with ice, completely extinguishing the flame of expectation in his heart.

Where is there even a trace of remorse in her?

This is clearly an escalation, a blatant test.

It was a trampling of his trust!

A strong sense of disappointment and disgust instantly gripped Lin Bei's heart, tightening ever more.

He is a person who respects women very much.

Deep down, I believe that both men and women possess the brilliance of humanity and should strive for self-respect and self-improvement.

But at this moment, Madame Rose's behavior of belittling herself and treating her body as a bargaining chip completely overturned his understanding and expectations of women's "self-respect, self-love, and self-esteem".

This is no longer a helpless act forced by survival, but a deep-seated and pathetic self-objectification!

"Does a woman like this really deserve to be saved?"

A question suddenly rang sharply in Lin Bei's mind.

What was the point of saving her?

She is so incorrigible, indulging in shortcuts.

So today's quagmire, she will still sink into it again tomorrow in the same way, or even faster!

Could it be that Urokodaki Sakonji can keep saving her?

Once, twice, three times...

Each time she is saved, it only makes her more convinced of the effectiveness of this "shortcut".

This led her further and further astray, causing her to completely lose her value as an independent and self-respecting "person"!
