Chapter 6: Failed Assault
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Li Bin's breathing grew increasingly ragged!
Gritting his teeth, Li Bin recklessly grabbed the bathroom's door handle and pressed down!
Click!
Huh?!
It wouldn't budge?!
Damn it!
The door was locked from the inside!
"Aah! Who?! Who's out there?!! Brother-in-law! Is that you?!"
Hearing the sound at the door handle turning, a panicked shriek immediately erupted from within the bathroom.
"Brother-in-law!! You! Don't come in!! I'm taking a shower!!"
Having come this far, Li Bin wasn't about to give up halfway!
He took a step back, raised his leg and kicked the wooden door with all his might.
With a dull thud, the flimsy wooden door was kicked open by Li Bin!
"Aaah!!!! Brother-in-law!! Are you crazy?! What are you doing?!! Get out!! If you leave right now, I'll pretend this never happened!!"
Wen Lan, flustered, covered her breasts and private parts with her hands. She looked at Li Bin with a mixture of shame and fury on her face.
Her body was perfect!
Wen Lan's delicate, slender hands couldn't possibly cover her full, round breasts.
The wet, trembling mounds revealed vast expanses of her snowy white skin.
Her long, shapely legs, glistening with crystal water droplets, were pressed tightly together, her left leg slightly raised in a defensive posture.
The sight made Li Bin's eyes turn red, and he was practically drooling!
[Current Status: Anger, Shame, Fear, Dread, Horror, Disgust, Contempt]
[Intimacy: -100 (-80 Extreme Disgust)]
Two rows of transparent prompts immediately appeared above Wen Lan's head.
[Intimacy: -20 (-100 Hatred)]
[Ding! Mission Failed! Rebirth Initiated!]
Just then an electronic synthesized sound echoed in his mind.
Immediately after, the world began to spin around him.
When Li Bin opened his eyes again, the scene before him had abruptly changed. He had reset to the moment before he went upstairs with the bubble tea.
"Swish, swish..."
"In the cycle of past lives and future lives... who lingers in the sound... laughing at my worldly attachments in this mortal world... an affection that can never be resolved... Look at me for a moment, don't let beauty sleep on an empty pillow..."
The sound of running water and his sister-in-law's beautiful singing still drifted from upstairs.
Everything that had just happened felt like a wet dream.
Yet the image of Wen Lan's alluring, snow-white body was still vivid in his mind.
He had failed…
Using force directly was not the way.
After all, she was a five-star difficulty level target. To win her over, he couldn't be hasty.
Li Bin summarized his lesson from the failure and staggered upstairs.
This time, Li Bin didn't push the bathroom door. Instead, he sneaked into Wen Lan's bedroom and peeked inside.
A snow-white, bra was tossed on the bed, while a shirt, panties, and jeans were scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the snow-white, cotton bra on the bed and the slightly damp pink cotton panties on the floor, Li Bin couldn't help but feel his body heat up. His breathing quickened and as if possessed, he walked into the bedroom, grabbed the soft bra, squeezed it a couple of times, and brought it to his nose and took a deep whiff.
Unlike a freshly washed bra, the one his sister-in-law had just taken off still carried the faint lingering scent of her body and a light smell of sweat. It was intoxicating and wonderful!
Unsatisfied, Li Bin picked up the panties from the floor.
Perhaps because she had been sweating heavily, the panties were a little damp. Li Bin noticed that the part that had pressed against her private area bore a faint, moist mark.
Was this... the love juice that had flowed out of his sister-in-law Wen Lan's tender pussy?
Trembling, Li Bin brought the panties to his nose and sniffed, closing his eyes in ecstasy.
It was fragrant, carrying the scent of a maiden's body...
"Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm… Swish, swish… Swish, swish…"
The sound of dripping water suddenly stopped.
Li Bin immediately became alert, carefully slipping out of his sister-in-law's bedroom and walking to the staircase, pretending to have just come upstairs and waiting.
After a long while, a "click" sound of the lock being opened was heard.
Li Bin immediately stomped heavily up the stairs, pretending to casually glance in the direction of the bathroom.
"Ah... Brother-in-law... You... How did you... how did you get back so fast?..."
Seeing Li Bin appear at the top of the stairs with the bubble tea in hand, Wen Lan shyly used her robe to cover her body. While drying her wet long hair with a towel, she said with some embarrassment.
[Current Status: Shy, Nervous, Vigilant]
[Intimacy: +1 (21 Initial Acquaintance)]
Seeing the status bar appear above Wen Lan's head, Li Bin was slightly stunned. The intimacy had actually increased by a point.
Women are truly strange. Running into her while she was bathing actually increased intimacy?
Having learned his lesson, Li Bin immediately averted his gaze and said with a smile, "I just went out to buy a pack of cigarettes. I left the bubble tea for you in the living room on the second floor. You can get it yourself later. I'm going upstairs now."
Playing the part of a gentleman, Li Bin walked to the living room, put down the bubble tea, and then went upstairs without letting his eyes wander.
[Current Status: Shy, Nervous, Curious]
[Intimacy +3 (24 Initial Acquaintance)]
He stole a glance in his sister-in-law Wen Lan's direction and saw that the intimacy had increased by another three points.
It seemed he was starting to get the hang of it!
