Xia Yinuo reattached her school ID to her chest, smiling brightly. “Jiu, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Sis, it’s like this. Whenever I get close to a girl, my whole body starts twitching. I don’t know what to do! One-no Sis, please help me! Otherwise, I’ll never have a girlfriend.” I pinned all my hopes on this senior.
Xia Yinuo pursed her lips and smiled mysteriously. “Ah, so it’s a fear of girls. That’s quite a problem.”
“Sis, tell me quickly! Is there a cure? Don’t give up on me! I’ll do whatever you say.” I placed all the spare change I had prepared on the table. “Here’s a month’s worth of pocket money, all for you.”
Xia Yinuo glanced at the stacks of ten-yuan bills, her gaze shifting back to me. Her pupils sparkled with a hint of excitement. “So, you haven’t had a girlfriend before? This is your first time?”
I nodded silently, unsure why she was asking such a question. It seemed unrelated to my condition.
“You’re such a good boy. Lie down on the bed and let Sis take a look.” Xia Yinuo’s lips curled into a strange smile as she stood up, pointing to the single bed nearby.
“Okay,” I replied, walking to the bed and removing my shoes before lying down. My small frame only occupied half of the bed.
“You’re not allowed to be naughty! Keep your body clean for the check-up. Go take a shower, okay?” Xia Yinuo was delighted by my obedience and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to collect some samples.
Xia Yinuo was an only child. At the age of six, her mother left her father due to domestic violence and took her with her. Ever since, Xia Yinuo had been living with her mother, longing for a loving father. But it was impossible now. Her mother had developed a fear of men, and this had greatly influenced Xia Yinuo’s worldview.
She disliked boys her age and men older than her. Despite being pursued by many boys at school, she found them repulsive. She preferred having a obedient younger brother to a boyfriend. Now, she had found just that. This boy was shy and obedient, and if she nurtured him well, he could become her boyfriend or even husband in the future.
“Just like this,” Xia Yinuo murmured, excitedly opening a glass door in the corner.
“Jiu, this way!”
“Okay, Sis. I won’t cause any trouble.” I hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Xia Yinuo’s instructions. I got off the bed, and she approached me with a pair of pink slippers.
“These are my slippers, little brother. Don’t you dare complain!” Xia Yinuo placed the slippers on the floor and stepped back. In reality, if it weren’t for wanting to strengthen their bond, Xia Yinuo would have already pushed me down and made me hers. But she didn’t want that. She wanted me to genuinely fall in love with her, to be by her side always, thinking of her constantly, becoming her accessory.
Xia Yinuo decided that during the treatment, she would carve her name on my body. That way, I would truly belong to her, and no one could take me away. “Jiu is mine, only mine. He can only belong to me. I’m the only one who deserves to be his friend, boyfriend, husband…”
Initially, I hadn’t noticed the bathroom. Wearing the pink slippers, I entered. I removed my short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and as I reached for my last piece of clothing, I felt a pair of eyes on my back. I turned around abruptly, and One-no Sis was sitting at her desk, facing away from me.
“Am I overthinking this?” I shook my head. One-no Sis is so beautiful and kind, and she’s the school’s belle. How could she be peeking at me while I shower? I must be really sick, always suspicious.
I removed my last piece of clothing and turned on the faucet, standing under the cold water, letting it wash over every part of my body.
Since I entered the bathroom, Xia Yinuo’s gaze had been fixed on a book. However, the book had a small mirror tucked inside. Xia Yinuo’s usually narrow eyes widened, as if she had discovered a shocking secret. She covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter, her face flushed red.
I have no idea what Xia Yinuo saw, but her entire body was trembling. The hand that covered her mouth moved to her eyes. Her mouth hung open as she panted, as if she had run a kilometer.
This sight left Xia Yinuo breathless. She knew it was wrong to peek, but curiosity got the better of her. “Just one more look, just one more!”
Xia Yinuo whispered, peeking through her fingers at the mirror. The mirror reflected everything inside the glass door. Unfortunately, steam obscured most of the view… The misty bathroom revealed a small figure.
The sound of running water suddenly stopped. Xia Yinuo heard rustling and quickly closed the book. As expected, I had finished showering and was drying myself with a towel. But she wasn’t satisfied. Xia Yinuo’s heaving chest gradually calmed.
“Jiu, for a more accurate treatment, you can only wear one piece of clothing!”
I had just put on my clothes and was about to open the door when I heard Xia Yinuo’s words. Wearing only one piece would mean I’d be exposed. I had never dressed like that in front of others, and I felt a strong resistance. I hesitated, afraid of disappointing her, so I weakly asked, “Sis, which one should I wear?”
“The sexier, the better!” Xia Yinuo blurted out, then realized her mistake. “I’m a psychological therapist, and I have a compassionate heart. I won’t look at you strangely. Just wear the innermost layer.”
“Okay!” In my mind, One-no Sis is an angel, and I trust everything she says. I put on the red triangle briefs, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door. To my relief, One-no Sis’s gaze didn’t linger on me. She had laid an additional fluffy white blanket on the pristine bedsheets.
“Lie down, okay? This blanket is thick and will keep you warm. I’ll be right back after I sterilize my hands.”
Xia Yinuo washed her hands and sprayed some perfume from her bag before approaching me. She pressed a switch on the wall, and a soft yellow light illuminated the room from above. Xia Yinuo crossed her legs and sat on the bed, mimicking a traditional Japanese woman’s sitting posture.
I felt my head being enclosed by warm skin. Was this the famous knee rest? This was the cozy feeling everyone talked about. I gripped the bedsheet tightly. No, to be precise, it was a knee squeeze, a comforting sensation that reminded me of being embraced by my mother when I was little. It was warm, comfortable, and relaxing. I opened my eyes, and the soft, warm light was gentle and not at all harsh. In this strange place, I felt an unprecedented sense of safety.
To my surprise, my body didn’t reject One-no’s touch. This was unprecedented. I tilted my head slightly and saw two round, evenly toned thighs. Her short skirt, which barely covered her hips, rode up even higher in this position, revealing a hint of her alluring buttocks. Due to my angle, which was tilted more than 45 degrees, I could almost see…
My cheeks flushed again. Although looking at One-no from this angle was rude, she seemed to have a magnetism that kept me from looking away. I knew this situation and angle were embarrassing for any girl, but…
“Even if I get scolded, even if she calls me a pervert, I have to satisfy this curiosity. I’m just curious about the unknown,” I told myself, trying to ease my conscience.
“Jiu! Is my treatment method not working? Your forehead is so hot! Could it be from the shower?”
One-no’s stunning features were filled with concern as she placed her hand on my forehead.
“No, it’s nothing. I feel…”
A slender finger pressed against my lips, and a scent reminiscent of orchids enveloped me. I couldn’t tell if it was One-no’s natural scent or her perfume. Her adorable face loomed larger in my vision.
*Heavy breathing*
For some reason, my heart raced, and my chest heaved. In the quiet room, my breathing was loud and raspy. The more I tried to suppress it, the louder and faster it became. One-no leaned forward, her ear pressed against my chest, listening to my heartbeat.
*Thump thump thump*
Besides my breathing, I could hear my heart pounding. One-no looked youthful in her white dress, especially her chest, which had changed significantly since our first meeting. It seemed to have grown from a child’s body to a mature one. One-no’s dress had a zipper, not buttons. Perhaps due to the angle and her sudden development, the zipper had pulled open, sliding down several inches.
Unfortunately, this revealed most of her white chest. I quickly closed my eyes, afraid to look further, knowing that I had discovered One-no’s secret—she wasn’t wearing a bra. If I kept looking, my life might be in danger.
When One-no asks later, I’ll just shake my head. The more I explain, the more suspicious she’ll be. One-no is smart and will pick up on any hints in my voice.
Even with my eyes closed, I could still smell her scent, softer and sweeter than orchids, with a real, tangible touch. It was like a soft, milky mask covering my nose and cheeks.
“Jiu, your heartbeat is three times faster than normal!”
“Wow,” I thought, “One-no Sis is amazing. She can tell I’m sick just from my heartbeat. It looks like One-no Sis has a good chance of curing my condition. Thank goodness, thank goodness! I finally have a chance to get rid of this sickness!”
“One-no Sis, please help me! I want to be a normal person. Please!” I clasped my hands in prayer.
Xia Yinuo sat up straight, her right hand resting on her stomach, her left elbow on her right wrist, her palm supporting her chin. Her gentle gaze was fixed on me.
One-no Sis didn’t speak, just stared at me. Did she notice me peeking earlier? Was she thinking of how to deal with me? I was so nervous that I broke out in a cold sweat.
“This condition is minor, but treating it will take a lot of time and effort. However, I have a plan that can cure you quickly. Would you like to try it?”
“Yes, yes!” I nodded eagerly. One-no Sis is the second person I’ve been close to without twitching. Her plan must be effective.
Xia Yinuo was captivated by my innocent expression, almost unable to resist the urge to devour me. She wanted to do it now, but that would be too abrupt. As the saying goes, “Take one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.”
