“That’s not really the case,” Lu Xining replied. “When facing strangers, we wear a mask and present a polite image, but when facing family, we let our guard down and show our true selves. It’s less tiring to get along with them. Of the two, the latter is naturally the more intimate.”

After explaining the theory, she said, "You and Fan Xiao have already lived together, and you're still being so polite to each other. It will make him feel distant."

"So he'll feel uncomfortable wearing a mask in front of you."

"So, if he needs anything, he'll come to me first for help, not you."

"Unless it's a favor that only you can do, but that's like a transaction. He'll keep track of how much you help him and then pay you back, so the relationship can never go any further."

"Hmm...that seems to make sense?"

Lu Baizhi was somewhat convinced and asked, "Then... what should I do, sister?"

“You can’t be so reserved and polite anymore,” Lu Xining said. “You’re shy when you speak, and you don’t even dare to make simple requests. What will happen if you continue like this?”

"Make a request? What request?" Lu Baizhi asked.

"a lot of."

Lu Xining gave an example: "For instance, when you're shopping, you can say you're tired and ask him to hold your hand and walk with you."

"For example, when you're eating, you can say you have rice grains stuck to your mouth that you can't see, and ask him to wipe them off for you."

"Hmm, is there anything else?"

"For example, when you go to sleep at night, you can say that you live too far from home and are afraid to sleep alone, so you can ask him to sleep with you and let him hold you tightly."

"..."

"After he holds you, tell him that you have always had the habit of sleeping naked since you were a child, and that you need to take off your clothes. Remember, take them off slowly in his arms."

"..."

Lu Baizhi was dumbfounded: "This...isn't this moving too fast? Isn't this a temptation?"

“Yes, it’s about seduction.” Lu Xining nodded: “You’re pursuing her, how can you not use seduction?”

"That...I can't do it..."

"It's okay, I'll train you."

Lu Xining waved to her younger sister, then patted the seat next to her and said, "Come on, sit here. I'll tell you some tips."

"Oh……"

Lu Baizhi sat down next to her sister with some skepticism.

Lu Xining leaned close to her sister's ear and whispered something.

Lu Baizhi's cheeks grew redder as she listened.

A few minutes later, her heart raced, her body heated up, and her face was filled with shame.

"It's...it's too difficult! Sister. Can...can I really do it?"

"The difficulty increases gradually. Once you get used to the beginning, you'll have the courage to do the later ones."

Lu Xining patted her sister's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, take your time, you can do it."

"Hmm... I'll do my best!"

Lu Baizhi encouraged herself.

After encouraging her, she asked, "Sister, won't teaching me like this affect you?"

"How does it affect me?"

"Hmph... Don't try to fool me, you definitely like him too."

Lu Baizhi pouted: "You made it too obvious, I figured it out a long time ago."

Is it possible that I deliberately let you see through me...? Lu Xining said, "Don't you have any idea what your own fighting strength is? Why are you still worrying about your love rival?"

"Damn it... Sister, you look down on me so much!"

Lu Baizhi showed a dissatisfied expression: "And sister, you were so cunning before. You clearly said that you were not interested in boys at all, but now you're doing this... That's too much."

She doesn't seem to be angry right now.

After all, I was already sulking when I found out before.

Then she realized that she only had a crush on him and hadn't been sure about the outcome.

My older sister joined the competition... and she didn't seem to have any right to say anything.

The strong bond between the sisters helped her suppress her resentment and grudges.

From childhood to adulthood, my older sister has always been very, very good to her.

She even considered whether she should "give way to her older sister".

But her unwillingness to give up made her persevere.

On the other side, seeing her sister's reaction, Lu Xining's lips curled up slightly. She reached out and stroked her sister's hair to comfort her, saying, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. People change, and there's nothing you can control about that."

Her voice was very gentle: "Don't worry, Gardenia, I'll handle this."

"Have you handled it?" Lu Baizhi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Um... I didn't mean to force you to withdraw, sister."

"I know, don't I understand your personality?"

Lu Xining said, "Just keep your pace and don't worry about me. This matter will have a satisfactory ending."

Chapter 241 Was Fan Xiao being kept by a sugar daddy?

The day after Lu Xining and her sister went to the dungeon, Fan Xiao, who was at Rice Manor, received the long-awaited phone call.

People from the Special Affairs Bureau came looking for him.

To his surprise, it was his old acquaintance Du Ruo who called, not Mercury or Luo Hao.

He quickly recovered from the unexpected situation.

It seems that Du Ruo has also been dispatched to participate in this plan, and most of the people from the Special Affairs Bureau have probably already joined up.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Xiao went to the garden on the third floor of the villa and found Tina reading a book.

The old butler was standing next to Tina, refilling her empty teacup with black tea.

The sun is very strong today, and the ultraviolet radiation is very high.

Although there was no need to worry about getting a tan, Tina followed her mood and chose to stay home and read instead of going out.

Perhaps once the sunlight weakens a bit, she will choose to go out and enjoy the food in Roman City.

Fan Xiao approached Tina and politely asked, "Teacher Tina, may I use the manor to entertain a few acquaintances?"

"Given your respectable behavior the night before last, I grant your request."

Tina didn't take her eyes off the book and replied without looking up.

"..." Fan Xiao: "Teacher, peeping is something you can just enjoy yourself, but to say it out loud... isn't that a bit too provocative?"

"Spying? Isn't that part of the review and assessment?" Tina retorted.

"..."

Good grief! You're just learning this on the spot, aren't you?

“I do review your performance from time to time,” Tina continued, “Otherwise, do you think someone of my status would be so bored as to spy on you? Before you feel dissatisfied, think about whether you are worthy.”

There's no way Fan Xiao would believe that!

Besides being judged by value, voyeurism can also stem from personal interest or hobby.

If you enjoy spying on others and consider it a personal fetish, even if I were running naked, you'd probably still peek over and count how many abs I have... Fan Xiao thought to himself.

“If you say no, then it’s no,” Fan Xiao replied.

"Wow...it seems you're quite dissatisfied."

Tina looked up, her gaze falling on Fan Xiao, and said with a slight smile, "The best way to vent your frustrations is to have a fight. Teacher, I don't mind giving you some pointers on your fighting style. Don't worry, your life is still guaranteed."

"I'm a civilized person, I don't fight. Let's continue our previous topic."

Fan Xiao didn't respond to the question, but instead said, "Besides a few acquaintances, I might also have to entertain the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Righteousness Sect. Teacher, you shouldn't mind her coming here, right?"

"Do whatever you want, as long as you don't bother me."

Tina's gaze returned to the book: "You don't need to ask me about such trivial matters."

"Can I have this manor?"

Fan Xiao tried to push his luck.

"Ha ha……"

Tina let out a slightly languid laugh.

She stretched slightly and said, "I don't dislike students with thick skin. If your assessment results can exceed the minimum standard and satisfy me more, what's wrong with giving you a mere manor as a teacher-student gift?"

"Oh?" Fan Xiao said, "Could this be considered a sweet treat in advance? I'm already looking forward to it."

"I'm also looking forward to your performance. However..."

Tina said in a reminder tone, "Although I'm not in a hurry, and I'd rather you slow down and match my playtime, you've been... a bit too lax lately?"

"There's no other way. I'm swamped with things, so I have to do them one by one, peeling back the layers."

Fan Xiao said, "If you're not in a hurry, teacher, please wait a little longer. I will submit a paper that will satisfy you."

"Well, as long as you know what you're doing."

Tina responded faintly, then waved her hand, dismissing Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao cooperated and did not linger in the garden.

After leaving the third floor, he called Du Ruo back and informed her of the meeting point.

Then, he called the saintess again and arranged a time and place to meet.

After doing all this, he began to instruct the maids to prepare the food for the guests.

……

3pm.

A car shaped like a Volkswagen Beetle stopped in front of the Rice Estate.

Du Ruo, Liu Xue, Mercury, and Luo Hao got out of the car one after another and stood in front of the exquisite manor gate. Looking at the fountain pool not far behind the gate, their faces showed curiosity and surprise.

Wearing glasses and possessing an intellectual air, Liu Xue broke the silence first, exclaiming, "Awesome!"

"Xiaoxue, can you say something that suits your personality?" Du Ruo complained. "I don't even want to admit that I'm with you anymore."

"Can you deny that this place is awesome? I feel like the game version we're playing with Fan Xiao is different again."

Liu Xue exclaimed in a very amazed tone, "We're playing 'Wandering in Foreign Lands,' while he's playing 'The Daily Life of an Aristocrat'... I've never seen anything like it! How did he manage to do that? It's just too outrageous!"

"Perhaps they accidentally saved some important figure in Roman City in the dungeon, and thus established a friendly relationship."

Mercury speculated.

He tied his hair into a high ponytail, which made him look even more like a girl.

Even his voice is neutral.

“That’s the most likely scenario,” Du Ruo agreed. “It’s probably a very difficult instance, otherwise, a big shot wouldn’t be in danger, giving Fan Xiao the opportunity to come to the rescue.”

"He might also be being kept as a gigolo."

Liu Xue guessed.

Upon hearing this, the other three people's subtle gazes all fell on her.

Du Ruo said, "We're talking about serious matters, be serious."

"Hmph, I think you're just jealous of her."

Liu Xue said, "After all, he's quite handsome, much better looking than you bunch of ugly ducklings. It's not impossible for him to be kept by someone."

"Oh, right, Mercury aside, but Little Mercury is good-looking in a different sense, and can't be compared with Van Shaw by the same standard."

"Okay, let's stop joking around."

Du Ruo got down to business, saying, "Fan Xiao is clearly doing much better than us. You really have to admire him; he can shine wherever he goes."
