Kicking the office door open, Bai Xiaodu quickly entered the room under the astonished gazes of its two occupants and scanned the area.
Blue hair and red eyes—it was the familiar Sister Lingxin.
Upon seeing him arrive, a gentle smile curled on her red lips.
Lingxin's outfit today was bright and stylish, accentuating her tall figure. She wore a light, pure white casual jacket, and a pair of tight blue jeans that perfectly outlined the crescent curves of her hips and legs. On her feet was a pair of fresh white sneakers, which she casually swung back and forth from time to time.
Bai Xiaodu deliberately swallowed hard.
The curve of Lingxin's smile deepened slightly.
I knew this woman would fall for that, Bai Xiaodu thought to himself.
As for the other one...
He felt a fierce gaze locked onto him.
Startled, Bai Xiaodu looked over at the white-haired dragon girl crouching on the sofa.
A pair of moderately sized, menacing bony dragon horns adorned her head, and her eyes were an icy blue, as crystal-clear as midwinter snow.
Her skin was pale, and her facial features were sharp and beautiful. Compared to Lingxin, she had a more youthful, girlish charm.
But her body was definitely not that of a young girl!
She was tall, with curves that were just as exquisite and alluring as Lingxin's. If one ignored her facial expression and vacant demeanor, she could easily pass for a mature, elegant...
Ding!
Holy crap, the system reacts so fast. Did I even finish my thought?
[Facing the relentless pressure of a voluptuous beauty, the desperate outlaw has no retreat! It is time for the king to descend from heaven and show wrathful grimaces!]
[Binding successful!]
Bai Xiaodu composed himself and waved at Lingxin.
“Sister Lingxin!”
“You look even prettier in person than on video!”
Lingxin covered her mouth and giggled, her wine-red eyes sweeping over Bai Xiaodu.
“You too, Xiaobai. You're super cute.”
Bai Xiaodu nodded happily, playing along, and naturally steered the conversation to the side.
“Is this dragon-kin sister your friend? How should I address her?”
Lingxin introduced her.
“Just call her Vervia. She's from the white dragon clan, and don't underestimate her. Vervia is a Warrior of the Fearless Pathway. She's incredibly fierce when she fights.”
“Amazing!”
Bai Xiaodu gasped in admiration. A smile instantly broke across his face as he extended his hand toward the white-haired dragon girl still crouching on the sofa.
“Hello, Vervia.”
But to his surprise, Vervia didn't respond immediately.
The sound that followed was neither mocking nor polite.
Maintaining her original posture, Vervia parted her lips at Bai Xiaodu and let out a low, rumbling growl from the back of her throat.
“Grrr... grrr...”
Bai Xiaodu: “...?”
Isn't she a dragon? Why is she hissing like a cat?
And this is our first time meeting, right?
What's going on? Did I suddenly trigger some face-slapping cashback system?
“Ah...” Knowing exactly why the white dragon was acting this way, Lingxin couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose.
Vervia loved delicious food, and what she loved even more was eating more delicious food.
Last month, Lingxin had lent her too much money, leaving Vervia with no budget for delicacies.
Since Lingxin usually helped her handle all her daily affairs, Vervia didn't hold a grudge against her.
But her resentment needed a target.
In her mind, Lingxin spending money on Bai Xiaodu was the reason she couldn't eat more meals.
Therefore, Bai Xiaodu had to be a bad guy!
What kind of basic logic is this?!
Lingxin quickly stepped forward to stop the still-hissing Vervia, offering Bai Xiaodu a warm smile.
“She's a white dragon, so her brain is a little... slow. Please don't mind her.”
Then, turning her head out of Bai Xiaodu's line of sight, she glared furiously at Vervia.
Her delicate face was cold and grim.
With a suddenly fierce expression, she silently mouthed a harsh threat.
“Shut up, Vervia, if you ever want to eat my cooking again.”
This white dragon possessed terrifying destructive power. If she ever had a brain fart and actually flew off to attack Bai Xiaodu, what then?
What if he got too scared to ever come back to the office?
How was she supposed to transition their online relationship to offline, close-up tutoring?
Wouldn't all her efforts go down the drain?
Her hopes of having deeper, intimate interactions with Xiaobai would be completely ruined!
“Ugh...”
Seeing that Lingxin was genuinely angry, Vervia, who was about to growl again, immediately backed down.
But she was clearly still a bit indignant. Pouting, she turned her face away and muttered under her breath, “Tch... looking good doesn't put food on the table...”
“Then what kind of food does Vervia like to eat?”
Vervia froze. Before she knew it, Bai Xiaodu had already stepped up to her.
A warm, friendly smile played on his lips, as if he didn't care about her rude behavior at all.
Bai Xiaodu looked at her with a gentle expression.
Because there was no need.
There was absolutely no point in getting angry at an idiot.
Startled, Vervia flinched, but Bai Xiaodu's question prompted her to answer instinctively.
“Meat, of course!”
Bai Xiaodu nodded and pressed further.
“What kind of meat, and how do you like it cooked?”
“Stir-fried, quick-fried, sautéed, deep-fried, braised, pan-fried, seared, roasted, stewed, steamed, boiled, poached, marinated, grilled, smoked, or hot pot... Are any of these your favorite?”
“W-What?”
Vervia was utterly shocked. She tilted her head to look at Bai Xiaodu, her mouth forming a small 'O' shape.
“Isn't it just roasted meat and stewed meat? Why are there so many weird words? Vervia doesn't know any of them.”
The white-haired dragon girl scratched her chin, her icy blue eyes fixed on Bai Xiaodu with suspicion.
“Did you make those words up?”
“Yes!” Vervia suddenly began talking to herself.
“It must be! It's just cooking meat, so why would there be so many names? You can't fool the smart Vervia!”
Bai Xiaodu was speechless.
Lingxin quickly rushed over and yanked Vervia's dragon horns, her face flushing slightly.
She was fuming.
Bringing this idiot along was a massive embarrassment.
If Vervia hadn't thrown a massive tantrum back when they left the military camp, Lingxin would never have agreed to let her be her deputy.
“Xiaobai isn't lying to you. There really are many cooking methods. It's just that many of them are highly advanced, and since I haven't learned them, I don't use them.”
Vervia nodded hesitantly.
Although the fox in front of her was highly suspicious, she still had to trust Lingxin's words.
After thinking about it briefly, she turned back to Bai Xiaodu.
“You mentioned so many names. Do you actually know how to cook?”
Bai Xiaodu nodded as a matter of course.
He used to focus on high-end culinary arts because he wanted to make mouths water without actually selling the food, which required him to put serious effort into mastering the craft.
This was a skill that even Director-General Shen had acknowledged as delicious!
“Not only do I know how to cook, but I can also make special dishes just for you, Vervia.”
“Really?!” Vervia's icy blue eyes lit up instantly, and she replied without a second thought, “Then you're a good fox!”
Bai Xiaodu: “...”
That was a fast good-person card.
He couldn't help but cover his face with one hand.
Now, there was only one major question left that needed an answer.
Once affection levels reached the maximum, intimacy between genders would follow naturally.
Which meant, inevitably, doing some rather indescribable things.
So...
Is sleeping with an idiot illegal?
