Bai Li picked up his phone, his expression a little complicated.
He glanced over at the three girls sleeping beside him — they all seemed to be out cold, their breathing slow and steady.
He carefully sat up, leaned against the headboard, and typed a reply.
[Bai Li]: Not yet. What's up?
He took a moment to scroll through her social media feed. The most recent post had been put up half an hour ago, with the caption:
[Saying goodbye to that loser — this girl is ready for a brand new future!]
So she'd completely cut things off with that cheating scumbag.
Zhang Qian's reply came back quickly.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Nothing much, just can't sleep and wanted someone to talk to. Oh right, big bro, my name's Zhang Qian — what's yours?
[Bai Li]: Bai Li.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Bai Li… what a nice name.
After the brief pleasantries, Zhang Qian quickly got to the point.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Big bro, I'm going out tomorrow and I have no idea what to wear. You've got such great taste — could you help me pick something?
Bai Li read the message, the corner of his mouth curling up.
Here we go.
Classic move.
He was curious to see just what kind of game Zhang Qian was playing.
[Bai Li]: Sure.
The moment she got his answer, Zhang Qian sent over a photo.
In it, she was wearing a white fitted camisole top, paired with denim cutoff shorts that barely reached the top of her thighs. A pair of long, pale, perfectly straight legs were on full display in front of the camera.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: What do you think of this one, big bro? Is it too plain?
Bai Li's gaze lingered on the photo for a few seconds.
He had to admit — Zhang Qian's assets were genuinely impressive.
The tight camisole was stretched to its absolute limit, as if it might split open at any moment, yet her waist was impossibly slender, creating an exaggerated hourglass silhouette.
[Bai Li]: A bit. Try another one.
His reply was short and carried a commanding tone.
That attitude only made Zhang Qian on the other end of the screen even more excited.
She had always had a thing for men who liked to be in control.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Okay~! Give me a sec, big bro~
A few minutes later, the second photo arrived.
This time, she had changed into a black cropped T-shirt that bared her midriff, paired with grey yoga pants that traced every curve of her figure flawlessly.
She had deliberately turned to the side and struck a pose that showed off her body to maximum effect.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: What about this one, big bro? Is it too figure-hugging? I'm worried my friends will say I'm being too much.
Bai Li let out a quiet laugh and tapped on the screen.
[Bai Li]: You already know what you're doing, don't you?
That teasing remark made Zhang Qian's cheeks flush warm.
She knew this man had seen right through her little game.
But she didn't feel embarrassed — if anything, there was a thrill in being figured out.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Ugh, big bro, you're so mean~ I'm genuinely asking for your opinion here~
She sent a pouty sticker, then followed it up with another photo.
This one was a floral sundress — a common enough style, but on her, the generous curves up top made it look almost scandalously snug, as though it might burst free at any moment.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Maybe… just this one? It looks a little more innocent.
As Bai Li looked at the photo, his mind suddenly drifted to Lin Xiaoshuang.
Lin Xiaoshuang in her high school girl skirt looked pretty innocent too.
[Bai Li]: Put the white camisole back on. Swap the shorts for the yoga pants.
He issued his verdict.
On the other end of the screen, Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat when she read the message.
White fitted camisole… with grey yoga pants?
This…
Wasn't that the ultimate pure-yet-sultry combination?
This man really knew what he was doing!
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Big bro… isn't that a little… a little too much…?
She feigned hesitation.
[Bai Li]: I said wear it. Stop stalling.
That domineering tone made Zhang Qian completely cave.
[Qian with the Great Figure~]: Okay okay~ Whatever big bro says~
This time, Bai Li waited a full five minutes.
When the new photo popped up, he felt his breath catch for an instant.
In the photo, Zhang Qian had dressed exactly as he'd instructed.
The tight white camisole clung to her generous figure, while the snug yoga pants below perfectly showcased her toned waist, flat stomach, and the perky, rounded curves of her hips and legs without a single flaw.
But what really got him was her pose.
She was kneeling forward on the bed, leaning ahead with both hands braced against the mattress, her rounded backside raised high.
The contrast was the killer — her face wore an expression of wide-eyed innocence and confusion, her rosy lips slightly parted, her eyes soft and glistening, as if to say:
Is this the pose you meant, big bro?
Bai Li felt the blood in his veins practically boiling. For a moment, a certain dam of self-control was threatening to give way.
This woman was an absolute natural-born temptress!
The surge of energy from the System's reward, the vivid and intoxicating image Zhang Qian had sent, and the three soft, warm bodies beside him radiating that faint, sweet scent of youth…
With all those stimuli piling on top of each other, he felt like he was about to explode.
Bai Li put down his phone and took a deep breath. Then another.
He could feel the heat burning through his entire body.
Then he picked his phone back up, stared at the screen, and gritted his teeth as he typed out a single line.
[Bai Li]: Who the hell could sleep after this?!
