Chapter 8.28: The ‘[Girl]’ Preparations for Battle
PS: This is a late Qixi Festival extra chapter…
The ‘[Girls]’ Preparations for Battle:
Tomorrow is the 7th day of the 7th lunar month—
I probably don’t need to explain what the 7th day of the 7th month is.
Simply put, it’s Qixi, China’s Valentine’s Day, the day of the magpie bridge meeting. There are countless poems about this day, and similarly, many people confess their love on this day.
Of course, for ‘us,’ such a day is equivalent to a ‘day of war.’
Only the one who captures his heart on this day can ultimately obtain the ‘right to sleep with him’… Although I still find competing for this kind of night’s belonging to be utterly shameless, I can’t just give up and watch Lord Juncheng be completely consumed by these ‘troublemakers.’
In order to protect Lord Juncheng from these ‘she-devils,’ I absolutely must win against them (clenches fist).
To ensure fairness, it was finally decided that everyone would gather together to make Qixi Festival chocolates. The location is the kitchen of the organization’s mansion.
As for why it’s chocolate when it’s Qixi… it was decided by vote. I don’t really care about that. After all, whether it’s a cooking competition or something else, I’m confident I can win against these untalented guys.
After all, I have accumulated the experiences of nine whole lives!
Although I don’t know much about Western desserts like chocolate, I have made thorough preparations before today. After several simulated production processes, I can now perfectly make a Black Forest cake!
I thought these restless guys would definitely come to sabotage me halfway or cause some trouble, but they all seemed to be genuinely focused on making things.
As a result, I very smoothly created an incredibly gorgeous chocolate cake.
‘It’s a guaranteed win,’ I thought at that moment.
Senior Lanhua approached me, looking at the work of art I had created, and exclaimed, “Wow, Kouhai-chan, the chocolate cake you made is truly spectacular.”
“Hmph, naturally.”
“If Senior Lanhua tries to sabotage me, I won’t forgive you.”
“Oh my, I wouldn’t do something so petty—but… Juncheng might not necessarily choose you?”
That sentence hit me like a ton of bricks.
“What, how could that be! I’ve already made the most perfect chocolate cake!”
In terms of ingredients, appearance, and taste, it’s top-notch… How could it be inferior to others!
Seeing my shocked and disbelieving expression, Senior Lanhua smiled meaningfully and said, “Heh heh, you don’t believe me? Then let’s go see what others have made together. Perhaps then you’ll understand…”
A seed of unease had been planted in my heart, so of course, I had to investigate to see where I was lacking.
Thus, we went next door. Here, Senior Li Nai, Senior Xun, and Teacher Lily were working together to make chocolate.
However, it didn’t seem to be going well. Especially Teacher Lily’s chocolate, its shape was already tragic. There were molds, so how could it end up like that? SE This novel.
Senior Li Nai echoed my thoughts, baring her teeth and complaining, “Wow, Teacher, you’re really clumsy… This is even worse than what I made.”
“…Don’t look at it~ *Mew mew….. I just don’t have a talent for cooking. If it’s embroidery…”
“But this kind of clumsy feeling is quite nice, isn’t it? Maybe Juncheng will like it?”
“How could that be…”
“Believe me, when you give it to him, Lily, you’ll be blushing and saying shyly… ‘I didn’t make it for you!’ with tsundere lines like that. Juncheng will definitely get a nosebleed from your cuteness.”
“Ooh! Xunxun, that was super cute just now!”
“It seems pretty good…”
“…huh?”
Indeed, when Senior Xun’s cheeks reddened as she pouted and said that, even I was moved. The power of that…!
At this moment, Senior Lanhua whispered in my ear. “Now you understand, Kouhai-chan… That’s right! It doesn’t matter what kind of chocolate it is! What’s important is how you present it.”
I was struck by lightning and slumped to the ground, murmuring dejectedly, “The p-presentation…”
This was a blind spot!
I thought that as long as I made a good chocolate cake, Lord Juncheng would definitely be captured by me… I was too naive!
That’s right, Senior Lanhua’s words made sense. Chocolate is only one part of the equation; the most important thing is how it’s presented.
Expressions, actions, lines—these elements all become the ‘packaging’ for the chocolate!
Even if the chocolate is made poorly, it can be compensated for in other ways.
And I was completely unprepared for this…
“Men are half gentlemen, half beasts.”
“For Lord Juncheng, his gentlemanly side should outweigh his beastly side, just as his name suggests.”
“That’s true.”
What we need to do is ‘moe’ him! Like what Xunxun did and said just now, it had a ‘moe’ feeling, right? Boys prefer that kind of feigned rejection.
“Um, I don’t really understand what ‘moe’ means.”
Unable to accurately grasp the meaning of this word, I naturally couldn’t perform those actions or say those lines.
“Hmm? I think you just haven’t realized it yourself. In fact, Kouhai-chan, you have talent!”
“…Is that so?”
Even if you say so, Senior, I don’t know what to do…
I feel so lost. I thought my preparations were the most thorough, but unexpectedly, I’m the one falling behind everyone else…
Utter failure… Bai Yuhui’s biggest defeat!
“Heh heh… Could it be you’re discussing presentation methods?”
That annoying way of speaking. I looked up and, sure enough, it was Senior Ji. CC
She is also the strongest enemy in this battle. As Lord Juncheng’s official girlfriend, she has an inherent advantage over others. Moreover, she has had the most intimate contact with Lord Juncheng so far.
It truly makes my heart ache. Why would Lord Juncheng choose such a woman as his main consort?
“Oh my~ Little Bingbing, do you have any good ideas?”
“Heh heh heh, I don’t need to rack my brain like you all. Juncheng belongs to me, so it’s natural for him to choose me, isn’t it?”
Since this woman stole Lord Juncheng’s virginity, she has always worn this ugly expression of arrogance.
Some of us couldn’t stand her arrogance, and led by Senior Lanhua, we established the “Anti-Bing Alliance.” Besides Senior Lanhua, Senior Jiang also belongs to this faction.
Incidentally, I am also a member of this force.
However, Senior Ji is not alone. Lord Juncheng’s two younger sisters have been swayed by her, and this combat power cannot be underestimated.
Furthermore, Senior Li Nai, Senior Xun, and Teacher Lily are neutral forces, not taking sides.
Actually, engaging in such factional struggles would only give Lord Juncheng a headache, but this tripartite standoff also keeps the ‘harem’ seemingly peaceful. In that regard, it’s also a benefit.
Although recently, with the addition of ‘that person,’ the situation has changed dramatically…
“What, have you already figured out how to present it?”
“Of course. It wouldn’t hurt to demonstrate it for you once.”
Saying that, Senior Ji immediately took off her stockings, lifted her skirt, crossed her legs, and extended her bare feet. She dripped the unset chocolate solution onto the instep, down her calf, to her thigh, and finally to that spot, saying, “Heh heh heh, your chocolate is right here~ lick it clean~”
This… this is simply blasphemy!
*Ngh*, why do I feel a surge of impulse watching this…? Is this the so-called ‘moe’? No, this is already ‘lust’!
“Ho~ so casual, be careful you don’t fall off your ‘chair,’ Little Bingbing.”
“Seeing how confident you are, do you have any good ideas, Little Lanlan?”
These two call each other “Little Bingbing” and “Little Lanlan,” implying who wants to be the “little one,” how childish.
“Heh heh, I’m not afraid for you to know. I’ll show you then!”
Senior Lanhua, contrary to Senior Ji, approached from above, bent forward, and placed a heart-shaped chocolate between her cleavage, saying seductively, “This is made with all my love~ If you don’t eat the top part, will you eat the bottom part?”
The style is very similar to Senior Ji’s.
These two are probably kindred spirits.
But men do like this style, don’t they? As Senior Lanhua said, half gentlemen, half beasts.
Senior Lanhua’s fantasy inner theater unfolds as usual, twisting her body indecently, showing off her infatuation.
To be honest, every time I see Senior Lanhua like this, I feel like I’ve chosen the wrong faction.
Keling, who came with Senior Ji, stuck out her tongue and said, “Get lost, you perverted stalker!”
“That really isn’t cute, Sister-in-law~”
“Who’s your sister-in-law!”
“Me (We)!” xN
A group of people spoke out, and it was unclear who said it.
“—I’m not that childish… I just shouted it in my heart…”
Keling was instantly enraged and started to curse, but everyone was already used to it.
Next, others also participated in demonstrating their methods.
“Al-although it’s not very well made… I hope you’ll accept it! Um, I’ll make it better next time, so… can you give me a reward?”
Teacher Lily made a slight alteration, carrying a pitiable aura, but this is even better. Moreover, Teacher Lily naturally possesses a charm that is incredibly potent.
“This is chocolate, for you. Be happy.”
A bit forceful, this is Xinran’s style. Lord Juncheng will surely smile and pat her head in acceptance.
“This chocolate? You ask who I’m giving it to? – I don’t have anyone in particular to give it to. So, how about giving it to brother, okay?”
A little devilish style? The feeling of being shot in the heart, very cute.
If I were Lord Juncheng, I might hug her.
Keling is just too cute.
“What? Seeing your anticipating expression, f-fine! This is chocolate I made with my own hands, eat it with gratitude!”
Oh, Senior Li Nai also has a tsundere style. Before, she was always casual with Lord Juncheng. Has she recently realized he’s a ‘man’?
Heh, a maiden’s heart…
“Oh my, perhaps you don’t want the chocolate, but my… my…?”
Very lewd, but because it’s Senior Xun, it only feels cute.
Finally, Senior Jiang, who silently put the chocolate into her mouth… Anyway, Senior Jiang would probably just put the chocolate in her mouth and kiss him.
Perhaps this is the most effective method.
Finally, it’s my turn…
“I can’t, I still haven’t thought of it…”
I’m such a failure.
“I just want him to come and get me~ Heh heh heh~”
“By the way, don’t you have an opinion to share? You haven’t said a word since the beginning. You’re the one who knows Juncheng best here.”
The topic shifts to ‘that person.’
“Hmm? Me?”
She asked, scratching her head and raising her eyebrows.
“Yes, you’re the one who knows Juncheng best here.”
As Senior Ji said, in terms of understanding Lord Juncheng, no one can compare to ‘her.’
Lord Juncheng’s current girlfriend, Ji Lianbing, can’t compare. Lanhua, who is obsessed with Lord Juncheng, also can’t. Even I, who have accompanied Lord Juncheng through nine reincarnations, cannot achieve it.
“…I think he might like that kind of…”
“What kind?” xN
“Heh, that would be no fun if I told you.”
As expected, she wouldn’t say it so easily.
“But then again, the ultimate winner might be quite unexpected.”
This person…
Always like this.
On Qixi Festival.
I’ve already prepared…
…..
It’ll be fine.
This should be the ‘answer.’
I pushed open the door and walked in.
“Meow~ Welcome back, meow~ My dear Master~ Here’s some chocolate, meow~”
Wearing cat-ear lingerie, I held the chocolate cake and said this to Lord Juncheng.
How embarrassing.
“So embarrassing… Ahhhhh! Eeeeeeeekkkkkk! Mewwwwww!”
Am I an idiot! I must have caught something!
To have done such a thing!
Mewwww!
“Yu… You’re super cute!”
“Waaah!”
I was forcefully pulled onto the bed.
…Spoiled until dawn, too much happiness.
