A Lewd Commission

A job has arrived!

Bai Jingjing swiftly set aside her book, retrieving her laptop and drawing tablet and placing them on the table.

Although she wouldn’t necessarily start working today, merely having her tools laid out made it seem as though she was ready to spring into action at any moment.

Bai Jingjing found a flicker of her old self, as if she were still that fledgling artist, fresh out of the gate, who had earned her first sum of money with her own hands, feeling her life brim with hope.

[Xiaobai: No problem, send it over.]

This time, however, she waited for a considerable period, a full half-hour passing without a reply.

Bai Jingjing pursed her lips, thinking to herself, ‘She couldn’t possibly be starting to write it just now, could she?’

Clients who commissioned artwork usually came to her with character designs and requirements already fully drafted.

Fortunately, after another ten minutes, Lemon’s TXT file finally arrived.

Bai Jingjing swiftly clicked it open—

[The story setting is like this: there’s an older girl and a younger girl, and they get along very well at first.

But the older girl is a bad woman, always teasing the younger girl, letting her fall into all sorts of misunderstandings, then secretly laughing from the sidelines.

One day, the younger girl finally couldn’t take it anymore and confronted the older girl, with anger in her eyes and fire in her heart.

The older girl, completely oblivious, found herself lying powerless on the bed by the time she regained her senses.

As the saying goes, all wrongs in the world will eventually meet their retribution.

In an instant, thunder roared above the room, and rain-like dew fell below (TL Note: A highly metaphorical and euphemistic description, implying intense sexual activity. “Thunder above” often refers to the aggressive or dominant partner, while “rain-like dew below” refers to the submissive partner’s response.).

No matter how much hatred or resentment, it all dissolved into the flowing dew, converging into a trickling stream.]

Bai Jingjing unconsciously pressed her thighs together, then turned to glance at Luo Xuan.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Xuan sensed her gaze.

“Nothing, I was just asking, that lewd loli (TL Note: Sè luólì (涩萝莉) is a term combining ‘sè’ (涩), meaning ‘lewd’ or ‘perverted,’ with ‘loli,’ referring to a young girl.) you mentioned before,” Bai Jingjing asked, “What grade is she in?”

“Seventh grade.”

“Oh, she has quite a literary flair.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan grew curious: “What did she talk to you about?”

“Nothing, just casual questions,” Bai Jingjing casually offered an excuse to deflect, “After all, we’re in the same group, and we’ve met a few times occasionally.”

She couldn’t very well tell Luo Xuan that her friend, the lewd loli (TL Note: Sè luólì (涩萝莉) is a term combining ‘sè’ (涩), meaning ‘lewd’ or ‘perverted,’ with ‘loli,’ referring to a young girl.), was indeed quite lewd, directly sending her a short erotic story.

Despite the article’s eloquent prose, which Bai Jingjing found stirring and profound, almost literally making her trickle (TL Note: A euphemism implying sexual arousal/discharge.), it was indeed a simple little story.

To translate, it meant: Once upon a time, there was an older girl and a little loli.

The older girl was a bit naughty, always teasing the loli, until one day the loli got angry and confronted the older girl head-on, fighting until her little tiger (TL Note: ‘Xiǎo nǎo fǔ’ (小脑斧) is a playful mispronunciation of ‘xiǎo lǎo hǔ’ (小老虎), meaning ‘little tiger,’ often used as a euphemism for female genitalia.) cried endlessly.

Bai Jingjing composed herself, calming her mind, relaxing her legs, and adopting her most proper professional demeanor.

[Xiaobai: This story doesn’t seem like something that can be clearly expressed in just one or two illustrations.

Are you looking to commission a comic draft?]

[Lemon: What’s the difference between a comic draft and an illustration draft?]

[Xiaobai: It won’t be as detailed as an illustration, and it will require more time.]

[Lemon: Then, can a few of the panels maintain illustration quality?

Just a few.]

[Xiaobai: Which ones?]

[Lemon: Of course, the moments when the younger girl acts on behalf of heaven to punish evil and promote good!]

‘Understood.

The lewd (TL Note: ‘Sè sè de’ (涩涩的) is a slang term meaning ‘lewd’ or ‘perverted’) ones, right?’

Bai Jingjing hesitated slightly, for, how to put it, drawing lewd (TL Note: ‘Sè sè de’ (涩涩的) is a slang term meaning ‘lewd’ or ‘perverted’) illustrations was actually… not her forte.

However, after turning over a new leaf… no, after re-entering employment, this was her first client, making it exceptionally significant.

Even if such a unique commission presented difficulties, she had to overcome them.

Thus, she meticulously pondered how to approach this drawing.

Adhering to the ethics of a professional artist, Bai Jingjing quickly uncovered a problem.

[Xiaobai: But the plot’s logic doesn’t hold up.

How exactly was the older girl… made like that by the younger girl?]

How she was pinned down, and how her little tiger (TL Note: ‘Xiǎo nǎo fǔ’ (小脑斧) is a playful mispronunciation of ‘xiǎo lǎo hǔ’ (小老虎), meaning ‘little tiger,’ often used as a euphemism for female genitalia.) was made to cry—these were crucial details.

Without them, the logical chain of the plot would be broken.

[Lemon: Then, then what should we do?]

This question stumped her too; after all, she was just a clueless little loli.

[Xiaobai: How about we discuss things regularly, think more, and talk through any ideas we have?]

Maintaining frequent communication with the client allows for quick corrections to any requirements, preventing dissatisfaction with the final artwork.

[Lemon: Then you think about it first.

I have class now, so let’s talk in a few days.]

[Xiaobai: I also have tutoring in a few days, so I might not have much time.]

Bai Jingjing reminded her.

It was already June, and Liu Wanqing had just sent a message, asking her to come over the day after tomorrow, which happened to be when she had no classes.

[Lemon: No worries, we can discuss it slowly, and draw it slowly.]

‘Alright, since the client wasn’t in a hurry, Bai Jingjing wasn’t either.’

[Lemon: Oh, and this, the character design.]

After sending another TXT file, Lemon went offline.

Bai Jingjing clicked it open and took a look.

First was the main character of the comic, the little loli: white hair, 1.45 meters tall, orange eyes, and extremely petite.

A white-haired loli, how wonderful.

Bai Jingjing liked this.

When she first started practicing drawing, she used to sketch all sorts of white-haired lolis, harboring a certain ‘first love’ sentiment.

As for why she only drew lolis when she first started practicing? ‘Perhaps because she couldn’t draw ‘tuántuán’ (TL Note: ‘Tuántuán’ (团团) is a playful or euphemistic term, often used to refer to breasts or curves, implying a difficulty in drawing more mature female figures).’

Then came the character design for the story’s main antagonist, the ‘bad woman’ older girl.

Cherry-blossom white long hair—mm, nice, that slightly pinkish-white shade, very good.

A pure and youthful face, like that of a middle schooler, appearing utterly harmless—mm, also excellent.

And a ‘tuántuán’ (TL Note: ‘Tuántuán’ (团团) is a playful or euphemistic term, often used to refer to breasts or curves.) that was incredibly well-developed and disproportionate to her age—mm… a childlike face with ample figure (TL Note: ‘Tóng yán jù jù’ (童颜巨巨) is a slang term referring to someone with a youthful, innocent face but a very large, developed body, often implying large breasts)?

Also very good.

Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

After pondering for a long time without finding a reason, she pushed it to the back of her mind.

Instead, she began to consider the various possibilities for those aforementioned details.

For instance, how the loli managed to push down the older girl.

In Bai Jingjing’s estimation, such a battle where the weak overcome the strong, and the small triumph over the large, must have involved an unconventional, surprise attack.

With the older girl caught unawares, she was swiftly pushed down with lightning speed, before she could even react.

Then, swiftly climbing atop her, occupying the high ground.

The subsequent attack on her ‘tuántuán’ (TL Note: ‘Tuántuán’ (团团) is a playful or euphemistic term, often used to refer to breasts or curves.) and little tiger (TL Note: ‘Xiǎo nǎo fǔ’ (小脑斧) is a playful mispronunciation of ‘xiǎo lǎo hǔ’ (小老虎), meaning ‘little tiger,’ often used as a euphemism for female genitalia.) must have been as swift as a gale, as sudden as thunder, giving the older girl no chance to catch her breath.

Like a pump.

Imagining that scene, Bai Jingjing found herself… rather deeply immersed.

‘Oh no, am I really that kind of lewd (TL Note: ‘Sè sè de’ (涩涩的) is a slang term meaning ‘lewd’ or ‘perverted’) girl?’

She would ponder these matters later; for now, she needed to achieve Sage Time (TL Note: A Chinese slang term, ‘hyeonja taim,’ referring to a moment of post-clarity or disillusionment after an intense experience.).

But with Sister Xia Chu not by her side, what was she to do?

‘Ah, right, Sister Luo was just lying next to her, playing on her phone!’

‘Stop playing on your phone, come and play ()!’

Luo Xuan, bored, scrolled through her feed, nearly dozing off, when suddenly, she caught the increasingly rich scent of coconut milk in the air.

She looked up to see Bai Jingjing gazing at her with eyes as tender as water.

In her wine-red pupils, it seemed as though hearts were about to appear.

Luo Xuan seemed to grasp something: “Bai Jingjing, you…”

“Sister Luo, I…”

Though nothing was explicitly said, Luo Xuan instantly had a flash of insight.

“Are you preparing to learn a new skill?”

‘It’s about time she learned!’
