A Saturday Plan and a Strategic Alliance

“Ehh, is that, is that so?”

Bai Jingjing was already pulling her hand, dragging her towards the bedroom, so how could Luo Xuan remain rooted to the spot?

Moreover, Bai Jingjing had explicitly invited her inside!

‘Now, she truly had no choice but to enter,’ she mused.

The golden-haired beauty, brimming with excitement, shed the comfortable shorts she wore around the house, then gently pushed.

Bai Jingjing, surprisingly compliant, lay still without a hint of struggle.

‘Today was not about teaching; it was about demonstrating the teacher’s authority!’

Luo Xuan caressed her own slender, supple waist, wondering how to put it.

While a closer inspection revealed it hadn’t been that long since their last encounter, she had, after all, rested for an entire day—surely that was enough!

‘Recharge complete!’

“Bai Jingjing, watch closely. These are the three moves I once taught you,” Luo Xuan declared with utmost confidence. “I won’t just demonstrate them once, but you must truly feel them.”

‘Gathering and Uniting, Roaring Tiger Cub, Entangling Roots.’

‘They could be performed in any order, combined at will, or even executed simultaneously.

With her skill and their combined size, anything was possible.’

Twenty minutes later, Bai Jingjing languidly rolled over, her mind and body settling into a calm state.

Though the duration was brief, the comfort was profound.

‘It had been truly perilous.

While at Liu Wanqing’s house, her body had grown increasingly strange.

Thankfully, she had been decisive, rushing back to find Sister Luo just in time.

After a round of “treatment,” her temperature had quickly subsided.’

‘Right, Sister Luo…’

Bai Jingjing turned her head to look at the golden-haired beauty beside her on the pillow. “Sister Luo, are you alright?”

“I… I’m actually fine,” Luo Xuan replied weakly, “I just need to sleep a little longer.”

‘Only one day of rest seemed to be slightly insufficient.’

‘Her elemental recharge efficiency was far too low.’

With her physical state stabilizing and a sense of ease washing over her, Bai Jingjing rolled out of bed and headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

‘Sister Luo’s time was too short… no, rather, her efficiency was too high; she hadn’t even made it to mealtime.’

‘This was a good thing, wasn’t it? No delays for meals, right?’

Whether it was a good thing or not, Luo Xuan herself couldn’t say.

All she knew was that she had genuinely accepted her own weakness, acknowledging that she was far from invincible.

Forcing herself to get up for lunch, she then collapsed back into bed for a nap, not waking until evening.

Even after finally rising, her entire body felt sore and weak, with no desire to move.

Her hands and waist, in particular, were numb and incapable of gathering any strength.

Though tomorrow was the weekend, she wasn’t entirely free; for instance, she needed to deliver a meal to Xia Chu.

“Bai Jingjing, I might… or rather, I’ll most likely be unable to see you off tomorrow,” Luo Xuan stated preemptively during dinner.

Despite her voice being barely a whisper, her first thought had been of her best friend—this was true friendship.

“It’s alright, I can just take a taxi,” Bai Jingjing replied softly. “You… get more rest.”

After a moment’s thought, she added, “Before I leave, I’ll boil some water for you.

Remember to drink plenty.”

‘After all, Sister Luo was merely a beautiful young girl, not an older sister.

How did that saying go? Her capabilities were limited; she couldn’t be blamed.’

‘Drink more hot water, and the future holds promise.’

Not long after dinner, Luo Xuan went back to lie down.

By the time Bai Jingjing came to bed, she was still sleeping soundly.

‘It seemed she was truly exhausted.’

Two consecutive “lessons” on Wednesday and Friday had pushed the golden-haired beauty’s elemental recharge efficiency beyond its limits.

Bai Jingjing silently noted this data, a plan beginning to form in her mind.

‘Next time, she would try waiting two days before doing it again.’

‘Gradually extending Luo Xuan’s recharge time, to see where her endurance limit lay—this was what they called a stress test.’

****

On Saturday morning, Bai Jingjing maintained her good habit of early nights and early mornings.

She carefully dressed and got out of bed, taking care not to disturb Luo Xuan, who was still deeply asleep and “recharging.”

Then, she prepared herself something to eat.

Having risen so early, with several hours still remaining until noon, there was no need to rush into preparing Xia Chu’s meal.

Bai Jingjing curled up on the sofa, pondering what to do, but no sooner had she opened her phone than she received a message from the rich loli.

[Lemon: How’s it going? Free? It’s the weekend.]

‘Goodness, so early?’

[Xiaobai: I am free, but why are you up so early? Aren’t you going to sleep in on the weekend?]

[Lemon: Sleep? What’s there to sleep for? It’s already been pushed until the weekend.

If we don’t discuss it early, what’s the point of sleeping?]

‘With all those specific details swirling in her mind, how could she possibly sleep?’

[Xiaobai: I didn’t expect you to be so enthusiastic.

In that case, I’ll make more time to help you finish it as soon as possible.]

The young loli in the junior high dorm blushed at these words.

‘The way it was phrased made it sound as if she truly were some lewd loli.

But she wasn’t; she was simply eager for revenge.’

‘Hmph.’

[Lemon: Actually, it’s not that I’m so enthusiastic.

It’s my classmate… my roommate.

After she heard about it, she really wants to see it.]

[Xiaobai: Oh, I see.]

[Lemon: Enough with the pleasantries, let’s start quickly! Which details should we discuss first?]

For some reason, the rich loli suddenly sounded a bit fierce, but Bai Jingjing didn’t mind.

As an artist, the customer was always right.

‘“Customer first” meant prioritizing the client’s requests.’

‘It didn’t mean the client literally had to be on top.’

When it came to drawing, Bai Jingjing was a professional and quickly got into the zone.

[Xiaobai: First, there’s the question of how the ‘big sister’ character gets “taken down.”

You see, according to the setup, there’s a significant stat difference between a petite loli and a ‘big sister,’ making it difficult for the smaller one to overpower the larger.]

[Lemon: That? Simple.

Ambush her, knock her out from behind, or drug her.

Whatever works, just take her down!]

‘That plan seemed to carry a bit too much personal emotion.’

Bai Jingjing felt a slight dilemma.

[Xiaobai: That might not be ideal, mainly… could I ask why you seem to have such clear animosity towards this character?]

[Lemon: Because she’s truly detestable, don’t you think?

Picking on younger girls just because she’s older, she practically deserves… Ugh, she’s awful!]

Bai Jingjing grew thoughtful.

[Xiaobai: Have you encountered someone like that?]

[Lemon: Not me, it’s my roommate.

She’s encountered such a detestable ‘big sister’ before.]

Bai Jingjing paused for a moment.

[Xiaobai: Is the roommate you’re referring to now the same roommate you mentioned earlier?]

[Lemon: Yes, it’s her.

Didn’t I just tell you?

It’s precisely because she’s met someone like that before that she’s so invested in this comic story.]

‘See, the logic aligned.’

To add credibility, Lemon glanced at the adjacent bunk where a quiet, black-haired loli was peacefully napping.

‘My dear friend, I shall borrow your name for a moment.’

[Lemon: Really, her name is Xiao Meng.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll let you see her next time.]

[Xiaobai: Of course I believe you, but in that case, I definitely can’t adopt your suggestions.]

[Lemon: ?]

[Xiaobai: Because there’s a real-life inspiration, and the main character is right beside you, I absolutely can’t draw it in such a violent manner.]

Bai Jingjing gently typed out this message.

[Lemon: Then what do you suggest we do? Give me your opinion!]

‘My opinion, huh…’

At that moment, Bai Jingjing suddenly recalled yesterday’s experience.

It wasn’t about the red tea or anything of the sort, but rather Liu Wanqing’s attire.
