Chapter 64: Acting at the Right Moment
As I deactivated Thought Acceleration, I shielded the back of my head with both hands and curled my body to cushion the impact on my back.
At the same time, Keling, whom I had pulled down with me, had no idea she would be involved. She had no protection when she fell. If I had moved away, she might have been injured.
So I had to be the human cushion. Of course, I had dragged her into this in the first place. Furthermore, as her brother, I should protect her.
However, because I fell backward first and pulled Keling’s hand during the fall, I was about half a body length ahead of her. Why bother mentioning this?
Because this half-body difference resulted in my cheek once again pressing against Keling’s backside after a brief separation.
This is what you call shoving a hot face into a cold backside, literally… well, this backside wasn’t cold.
Instead, a warm current surged into my nose, or more accurately, my nasal cavity. However, there was no sensation of liquid flowing out, so it seemed I wouldn’t get a nosebleed.
Fortunately, Keling’s backside was soft enough. Although this girl was quite flat-chested, her backside was surprisingly a little plump.
“Aaaah~~~!”
With a mournful cry, Keling instinctively squeezed her thighs together, compressing my cheek and forcing my lips into a pout. This, in turn, stimulated the triangle area of her buttocks, and her wail rose a pitch higher.
A series of chain reactions sent Keling’s brain into chaos. She then instinctively applied a crucifix hold on me… What the heck? Why would she use a wrestling technique like that? Keling, when did you learn such a special skill?
I remember Lianbing also used a triangle choke on me back then. Has it become common knowledge that beautiful girls know judo?
Since I gained Calamity from the Mouth, this was my first time in such a predicament, with my throat pressed by the hollow of her left thigh, unable to make a sound, and my arms locked, unable to move.
From a soft posterior to a suffocating situation, it was truly a fall from heaven to hell.
“Urgh…”
Fortunately, after about a few seconds, Keling realized what she was doing, quickly let go, and rapidly moved away from my body, sliding along the floor back behind me.
Then, holding down the front of her skirt with both hands, she looked at me with teary eyes in a tailor-crab pose and cried out.
“…You saw it… You saw everything, didn’t you…”
“Cough cough cough… No, I didn’t see anything! I absolutely didn’t see anything!”
Only an idiot would admit to seeing something at this point. However, it was useless even if I denied it. Keling would definitely insist that I saw it.
“You liar! You definitely saw it!”
See? …That’s why I might as well have kept silent.
What should I do now? I thought for a moment, took out my wallet, and pulled out a red bill, placing it in Keling’s hand.
“Um, consider it compensation. Please be magnanimous…”
In short, if it could be solved with money, I would try to solve it with money.
Keling directly threw the hundred yuan bill back and roared.
“I don’t want it!”
“Huh? You don’t want it? So that means you’ll forgive me without money? Keling, you’re such a good child with such service spirit.”
“Who said I’d forgive you!”
“Then why…”
“My panties are only worth a hundred yuan?!! I can’t believe it, you, you pervert, you used your face to… that, twice… Ugh~~~ Die!”
I continued to take out two more bills from my wallet, but Keling immediately swept my legs out from under me, kicking my wallet flying.
“Idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot! I can’t believe it!”
Keling stood up again, pointed at my nose, and yelled.
“You! Be more careful when going upstairs!”
…Did I cover it? …From this angle, you can see it clearly.
“Um, I can see it again.”
“…Go die!”
*Slap!* Her small feet, clad in white stockings, stomped directly on my cheek.
I was stepped on several times. The force wasn’t great, but my nose had already suffered a blow earlier and was on the verge of bleeding. So, even though these steps weren’t very forceful, my nose still gallantly started to bleed.
Reddening the sole of Keling’s white stockinged foot.
This was within my expectations. In fact, I could have dodged when Keling stepped on me earlier. But not only did I not dodge, I deliberately nudged my face towards her feet. There were, of course, deep reasons for this. That is, I am a white stocking foot fetishist, obsessed with my younger sister’s feet—
Pfft, cough, I mean, of course, it’s because I had already anticipated the subsequent development!
No matter how Keling changed, her true nature wouldn’t change. She’s a good child like an angel. Seeing me injured, she would surely soften up. And so… her guilt would overshadow her shame, and this matter would just blow over!
I am simply a genius. Call me a magician of emotions.
As expected, Keling completely panicked when she saw the blood flowing from my nostrils. Not caring about exposing herself, she squatted down and asked with concern.
“Hey?! Are, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just a little nose… uh…”
“I, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I just… uh… Sorry…”
The roles have reversed. The soft approach, it’s too great.
If Keling can remain like this, I’m willing to get a nosebleed every day!
“I, I’ll go get some tissues right away… Kiw—!”
Keling frantically tried to run and get tissues, but she forgot that her feet were covered in my nosebleed. As a result, she slipped and fell again.
I reacted faster and rushed over to be Keling’s cushion again. Then, the same scene repeated. The fallen Keling sat on my cheek.
What’s going on? Is my cheek bonded to Keling’s backside today? Three intimate contacts in a row!
Keling climbed up, almost in tears. She propped herself up with her hands behind her, her legs spread in an M shape. The areas she had desperately tried to cover were now completely exposed, with the fabric in the middle stained red.
This scene reminded me of that one in the Mirror Realm… Oh no…
Even though I knew it was my nosebleed and not Keling’s virgin blood on it, my heart was still pounding. My eyes widened uncontrollably, as if my blood was flowing backward, and the veins on my forehead bulged.
My nosebleed had not stopped yet. Such excitement could only lead to more nosebleeds, and in such large quantities that it looked like I’d been stabbed, even staining my clothes.
I wiped my hand across my face, but it was useless. Instead, it only spread the blood further.
I glanced up at Keling. She covered her mouth, trembling all over, and was extremely flustered.
I thought I might have scared her, so I quickly reached out to comfort her.
“Uh, don’t worry, Kel— I’ll go wash up and—”
“Yaaah—! Someone come quickly! Brother is going to die!”
Brother?
Keling called me…
“Brother?”
…How long has it been since I heard this title? While feeling nostalgic, I also felt a sense of relief that moved me.
Although this might have just been a subconscious call from Keling in her panic, her calling me that meant she still considered me her brother in her heart.
Is this the breakthrough?
A figure flashed in front of me, and kindly handed me a wet towel, saying,
“Here, please use this wet towel.”
…Thank you.
Xinran was the one who handed me the towel. She came over as soon as Keling screamed. Had she been watching from the side all along?
No, I hadn’t even noticed her. So how did she know? Animal instinct?
“Please tilt your head back.”
Xinran, with a very professional technique, supported the back of my neck with her hand holding the wet towel, and used her index finger and thumb to press my nostrils on both sides.
She was so well-prepared, as if she had been ready from the start.
This means she had been observing the whole time but chose not to intervene, opting for “damage control” instead?
Making such a choice must be because of that…
“Alright, Xinran, I think it’s stopped.”
“Okay, then please close your eyes.”
After gently wiping my face clean, she stuffed tissue wads into my nostrils, which had already been prepared.
They fit my nostrils perfectly—not too stuffy, and not so narrow that they would fall out.
Despite such attentive care, I felt no relief, but rather terror.
My mind was filled with the thought, ‘How could she do this?’
If it were Lan, I wouldn’t be so surprised. After all, she’s a stalker and knows everything about me, practically knowing me better than I know myself.
But Xinran shouldn’t know me to this extent. Due to changing the past, my night raids didn’t last five years as they originally did. My relationship with Xinran is in a cold phase. Logically, she shouldn’t have had so many opportunities to learn about me.
But she acted as if she knew me inside out…
Or is this just revealing her true nature?

“Let me help you take off your clothes. They’ve gotten blood on them.”
“Wait—”
They were already off. Her movements were clean and swift.
“And your pants too. I’ll wash them for you.”
“Pants—”
She directly grabbed my pant leg and pulled them off!
Why so skilled! She didn’t even give me a chance to react!
Xinran stared at my underwear for a moment, her gaze sharp. I shrank back, covering myself, afraid she would forcibly remove my last cover.
Finally, perhaps because there was no blood on my underwear, and she couldn’t find a reasonable excuse for me to take it off, Xinran gave up. I breathed a sigh of relief.
“….”
Hanging my clothes over her elbow, Xinran stood up and turned to look at Keling, who was covering her ears and self-isolating after screaming.
“Keling.”
“…I didn’t mean to… It’s my… fault… Sorry…”
“Keling!” “Eek!”
Like a frightened rabbit, Keling flinched, lifted her tear-streaked face, and looked at Xinran fearfully.
Keling thought Xinran would scold her, and I thought so too. I had already planned how to make excuses for Keling. To my surprise, not only did Xinran not scold Keling, but she patted her shoulder and gave her a thumbs-up, praising her.
“Well done.”
“Huh? Ah, oh…”
Keling’s small mouth opened and closed, repeating only the sounds ‘ah’ and ‘oh’. She couldn’t utter another word, clearly confused as to why Xinran would suddenly praise her.
…I think I understand why Xinran would praise Keling…
Has she truly broken?
