Why is the system taking my request to photograph a cosplayer seriously?

In Ding Heng's mind, the system notification quietly reappeared:

[The Record of Redemption: Wenjing]

[Current Status: The Corrupted Nun]

Purification level: 45%

Another 4% increase?

As expected of a beginner's quest, the purification points are so easy to farm!

After finishing his meal, Ding Heng decided to adjust his schedule. Instead of taking a nap, he changed his clothes and went downstairs for a slow walk in the neighborhood to digest his food.

Wenjing borrowed the computer in his study and quietly looked up information.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two went to a nearby fresh food supermarket together to buy some vegetables. Wenjing was very careful in her selection, choosing ingredients that were suitable for her digestive system during its recovery period.

At 6:30 p.m., Zhao Yanxi, who had just finished get off work, arrived on time to report for duty.

After dinner, Wenjing thoughtfully prepared brunch for Ding Heng for the next day and asked Zhao Yanxi to help heat it up.

The two girls stayed until after 8 o'clock before leaving together.

After seeing them off, Ding Heng washed up and, unusually, lay down before ten o'clock, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Ding Heng woke up promptly at eight o'clock the next morning.

Picking up her phone, Wenjing sent "Good morning" as usual, along with a selfie in the mirror.

In the photo, she is wearing simple loungewear, her hair is a little messy, and she looks sleepy.

Although her attire was simple and plain, Ding Heng's gaze was still involuntarily drawn to the breathtaking curves and tightness beneath her loose neckline.

Recalling the scene he saw through X-ray vision yesterday, Ding Heng felt a surge of heat.

Just as I was thinking about whether I should take a cold shower to calm down, the doorbell suddenly rang.

So early?

Ding Heng took a deep breath to clear his mind, slipped on his slippers, and went to open the door.

Today's photo is Zhao Yanxi.

"Good morning, Ding Heng!"

The girl's face beamed with a genuine, radiant smile, her purple pigtails swaying playfully in the morning light.

However, she was unusually without makeup today, wearing a simple light gray tracksuit and carrying a backpack, looking like a college student preparing to go for a morning exercise.

"morning."

Ding Heng stepped aside to let her in, casually asking, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet!"

Zhao Yanxi entered with a grin, changed into slippers, and said, "Can I use the restroom?"

After saying that, he quickly ran into the toilet, as if he had been holding it in all the way.

Ding Heng didn't think much of it. He sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up his phone, and started scrolling through short videos, trying to dispel the restlessness in his heart.

Just as he was engrossed in watching the game highlights, a delicate fragrance wafted from his side, and a girl's voice whispered in his ear.

"The patient needs to rest well and shouldn't use their phone too much."

Ding Heng suddenly turned his head.

The next second, the heat he had just suppressed suddenly returned with even greater force.

Zhao Yanxi's long, misty purple hair was loosely tied into twin ponytails that hung down to her waist, with a pair of small black devil horn hair clips perched on top of her head.

Her eyes were slightly upturned, and her pinkish-purple contact lenses were so alluring they made one's heart flutter.

She was wearing a modified nurse's uniform, the off-white fabric soft yet crisp, outlining her delicate curves along her waistline. The collar was turned up neatly, and a thin black bow tie hung down in front of her collarbone, which was exposed by the cutout design, clearly revealing a hint of her snow-white cleavage.

The most striking feature was her legs, completely encased in thin, sheer white stockings that tautly outlined every inch of her long, straight legs, from thighs to calves, and down to her well-proportioned ankles and insteps, with the muscle texture subtly visible.

She leaned forward, her body resting on the back of the sofa, a posture that caused the hem of her short skirt to ride up even higher, almost to the point of being dangerous.

Ding Heng paused for two seconds, then subconsciously pulled back to create some distance.

Zhao Yanxi immediately moved closer, pouted, and complained coquettishly, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? I prepared it especially for you~"

Ding Heng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Where...did you get these clothes?"

"hey-hey."

Zhao Yanxi smiled smugly, changed to a kneeling position, and stretched her body to show herself in all directions.

"I asked Huayue to find it for me yesterday! She knows a cosplay shop that specializes in custom-made costumes. I just don't know which game the character is from, do you recognize them?"

Ding Heng shook his head. There are countless second-hand game characters that "sell skins" these days, and the scale of these products is getting bigger and bigger!

The world is going to the dogs!

But... it's really damn alluring.

He stood up and decided not to continue this dangerous topic.

"Let's have breakfast. Wenjing cooked some porridge in the pot yesterday."

"Hey! You're a patient! Let me do it!"

Zhao Yanxi immediately jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Ding Heng, and adopted the attitude of a responsible "nurse".

"Hey, you're really getting into acting?"

Ding Heng was both amused and exasperated, and too lazy to argue with her, so he turned around and went into the study to turn on his computer.

Upon logging into the game platform and the voice chat software KOOK, I was surprised to find that Xie Baoyang was online and in the game.

Good heavens! Xie Baoyang has changed his schedule too?

Upon closer inspection, Ding Heng noticed that in the KOOK voice channel, besides Xie Baoyang, there was also a pink anime avatar.

No wonder!

This night owl got up so early today, it seems there's some "motivation" behind it.

Ding Heng didn't want to disturb them and was preparing to play a couple of random matches by himself, but Xie Baoyang noticed that he was online and immediately pulled him into the voice chat.

Xie Baoyang exclaimed excitedly, "Come on! Let's go, third row!"

Ding Heng hesitated and said, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

He knew Xie Baoyang was trying to show off, but he was also worried about embarrassing the girl.

"What's inappropriate about it? You know them!"

"Do I know him?"

"The internet cafe manager from the day before yesterday!"

Xie Baoyang's tone was filled with undisguised smugness.

Ding Heng suddenly realized what was happening, but before he could say anything, Xie Baoyang pulled him into the game room.

A female voice came through the earphones: "Good morning."

"Good morning."

Ding Heng responded politely, without saying much, and obediently became a third wheel.

The three of them started playing the game in a line. The study door was gently pushed open, and Zhao Yanxi carefully walked in, carrying a bowl of warm porridge.

Ding Heng became alert and decisively switched to the keypad speaking mode.

"It's inconvenient for you to play games, so I'll feed you."

Zhao Yanxi scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it gently, and brought it to Ding Heng's lips.

"Thanks."

Ding Heng was focused on his lane and didn't put on any pretense.

"Is it tasty?"

Zhao Yanxi lowered her voice and scooped up another spoonful.

Ding Heng nodded, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Zhao Yanxi was very patient, spooning the porridge one spoonful at a time until Ding Heng finished the whole bowl.

After finishing his porridge, Ding Heng beckoned to Zhao Yanxi, who immediately understood and picked up a water glass, inserted a straw, and held it to his lips.

After finishing everything, Zhao Yanxi couldn't help but hum softly, seemingly quite satisfied with her "nursing work".

She didn't leave, but instead moved another gaming chair over and obediently knelt on the seat.

Because her skirt was too short, she had to keep her legs together, rest her chin on her hands, and quietly watch Ding Heng play games.

Occasionally, when I see a brilliant play, I might let out a soft "Wow!" or mutter, "That hero's skills are so weird?"

But whenever Ding Heng presses the button to speak, she immediately and sensibly purses her lips, blinks her eyes, and doesn't make a sound.

After finishing the first game and winning, Ding Heng stretched his wrists slightly.

The second game has just begun, and the laning phase is relatively stable.

Ding Heng was focused on finishing off his opponent when he suddenly felt a warm, soft touch on the outside of his thigh. He looked down and saw...

Zhao Yanxi, without anyone noticing, stretched out her delicate foot, wrapped in white silk, and pressed it lightly against Ding Heng's thigh, even rubbing it gently.

The smooth, white silk was clearly tactile, and Ding Heng's body suddenly stiffened.

But as soon as the game started, he could only force his attention back to the screen and ignore the troublesome Zhao Yanxi.

A short while later, he seized an opportunity to communicate with his teammates and pressed the call button.

The next second, Zhao Yanxi suddenly increased the force of her foot, and her toes, through the stockings, pinched a small piece of Ding Heng's thigh flesh!

"Um!"

A strange, tingling sensation rushed through him, and Ding Heng let out a short, muffled groan.

"What's wrong?"

Through the earphones, Xie Baoyang asked curiously.

Ding Heng composed himself, glanced at Zhao Yanxi who was covering her mouth and chuckling, and said calmly, "It's nothing, my cat just jumped onto my lap."

To match Ding Heng's excuse, Zhao Yanxi actually made a "meow~" sound, the last syllable of which had a hook, making it incredibly lifelike.

"Pfft..."

The internet cafe manager couldn't help but burst out laughing through the headphones.

But Xie Baoyang, being the clueless one he is, didn't react at all and asked stupidly, "Huh! Ding Heng, when did you get a cat?"

"It was just recently raised."

While Ding Heng was maneuvering his hero, he calmly answered, and Zhao Yanxi's toes started drawing circles on his leg again.

"Is raising a cat troublesome? I've heard they shed a lot."

"Luckily, my cat doesn't have much fur."

"What kind of cat?"

"Local cat!"

Ding Heng's temper flared up, and his voice tightened: "He's just really wild and clingy, always trying to get close to you. If you don't take good care of him, he'll throw a tantrum and scratch you."

"Meow~!"

Upon hearing Ding Heng "slander" her, Zhao Yanxi immediately meowed in protest while continuing to rub her feet together.

Ding Heng was made agitated by her, and made a positioning mistake, which allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity and unleash a combo, instantly reducing his health to almost zero.

He quickly retreated, but his mindset was already in disarray, and he was ultimately killed in a one-on-one fight.

Fifteen minutes later, Ding Heng clicked to surrender.

The moment the screen displayed "Failure," he took a deep breath and released his right hand from the mouse.

Then, with lightning speed, he grabbed Zhao Yanxi's messy white-stockinged foot!

"ah!"

Zhao Yanxi gasped and instinctively tried to pull her foot back.

But Ding Heng's hands were like iron clamps, firmly gripping her slender ankles.

The man's palms were burning hot, the heat penetrating through the thin white silk, almost scorching her skin.

Ding Heng turned his head, his pupils deep and suppressing a restless flame, making Zhao Yanxi's heart skip a beat.

"I'll hold off for now. My naughty cat is being really unruly; I need to discipline her first!"

After saying that, he didn't give Xie Baoyang any time to react, and directly exited the game and turned off KOOK voice chat.

The study fell silent instantly, with only the slight hum of the air conditioner.

Ding Heng slowly stood up, looking down at Zhao Yanxi. Instead of letting go of her ankle, he pulled hard, causing her to slump back into the seat.

Zhao Yanxi looked up, her body trembling slightly, her breathing becoming rapid, and her chest heaving.

The boldness I had shown earlier vanished without a trace, replaced by tension, fear... and anticipation.

The naughty cat looks like it's really going to get "punished"!
