The rain outside the window grew heavier and heavier, as if the sky itself had sprung a leak, pounding madly against the window frames.
The air inside the room became unusually thick and stifling.
Bai Luoluo felt as if she had been thrown into an enormous steamer.
Hot.
This wasn’t ordinary heat—it was an itch that seeped out from deep within her bones, as though countless ants were crawling through her veins.
Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her originally pale little face flushed with an eerie redness.
Her consciousness began to blur.
“So hot…”
She murmured unconsciously, reaching up to tug open the button at her collar.
That faint rose fragrance on her body, baked by her rising temperature, became astonishingly strong.
Mixed with the colorless, odorless “arousal factor” released by the system, it instantly filled the entire cramped room.
On the floor bedding—
Lei Li had been lying with his back to the bed, his mind full of thoughts about how to teach that ignorant woman a lesson.
But gradually, he sensed that something was wrong.
A strange fragrance drilled straight into his nose.
The scent was far too aggressive.
Like an invisible hand, teasing his tightly strung nerves.
Immediately after, he too began to feel an inexplicable heat.
The surge of heat came violently, instantly igniting the fire he had suppressed for so long.
As a king of special forces, he was extremely sensitive to drugs and bodily reactions.
This wasn’t right!
Lei Li snapped his eyes open and flipped himself upright.
“Bai Luoluo, what did you light in the room—”
Before he could finish, he froze.
By the intermittent flashes of lightning outside the window, he saw the scene on the bed.
Bai Luoluo was curled up at the edge of the bed, her entire body red like a cooked shrimp.
She seemed to be in extreme discomfort, unconsciously tearing at the blanket around her.
Soft, broken sounds escaped her lips, like the whimpers of a kitten.
“Lei Li… it hurts… I feel awful…”
That voice was so soft it seemed ready to drip water, tinged with a faint sob, slamming straight into Lei Li’s eardrums.
Boom—
Something snapped in Lei Li’s mind.
He wanted to get up and check on her, or at least open a window for some air.
But his body seemed to lose control, moving toward the bedside on its own.
That was instinct.
The most primitive instinct of a male drawn to a female.
“Do you have a fever?”
Lei Li’s voice was hoarse to the point of terror, as if filled with sand.
He reached out, intending to check her forehead.
The moment his fingertips touched Bai Luoluo’s scorching skin—
She reacted like a desert traveler finding water.
She suddenly grabbed Lei Li’s hand.
So cool.
That was her only thought.
Lei Li’s hand was covered in thick calluses—rough and cool—yet it brought her immense comfort.
“Don’t go…”
Bai Luoluo hazily opened her eyes. The clear gaze she usually had was now veiled in mist, unfocused and dazed.
Following that hand, she pressed her entire body against him.
Thud!
A dull sound rang out.
She rolled straight off the bed and landed squarely in Lei Li’s arms.
Soft, warm, fragrant—filling his embrace.
This time, it wasn’t like the accidental collision of last night.
It was a solid, seamless fit, with no gap at all.
Every muscle in Lei Li’s body tensed instantly, hard as stone.
His reason screamed warnings: push her away! This is a trap! A sugar-coated bullet!
But his body was terrifyingly honest.
The woman in his arms was too soft, too fragrant.
That sensation, that scent—combined with the catalyst saturating the air—completely shattered the self-control he prided himself on.
He was human.
A hot-blooded man.
Not a god.
“Bai Luoluo, do you know what you’re doing?”
Lei Li ground his teeth, making a final struggle.
His hand clamped tightly around her waist, with such force it felt as though he wanted to crush her into his body.
Bai Luoluo couldn’t hear what he was saying at all.
She only felt that the man before her was a block of ice—a lifeline.
She lifted her head and, driven purely by instinct, rubbed her burning cheek against his neck.
It was a motion like a beast seeking a mate.
That single movement ignited the fuse completely.
Lei Li’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
To hell with reason.
To hell with schemes.
Since you brought yourself to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
“You asked for this.”
Lei Li let out a low growl and flipped over forcefully, pinning Bai Luoluo beneath him.
Outside the window, thunder roared.
A blinding flash of lightning split the night sky, casting the overlapping figures inside the room sharply onto the wall.
The storm had only just begun.
…
No one knew how much time passed.
The rain outside gradually weakened.
The sounds inside the room finally subsided.
A rich musk-like scent lingered in the air, mixed with the earlier rose fragrance—so intimate it made one’s face burn.
Lei Li panted heavily, collapsing to the side.
His arm still lay possessively across Bai Luoluo’s waist.
As his mind slowly cleared—
What followed was overwhelming shock and… a trace of barely perceptible regret.
He actually… touched her?
And under these circumstances?
Before he could think further—
Deep in Bai Luoluo’s mind, that cold system voice suddenly exploded into sound, carrying a strangely cheerful undertone.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host!]
[Mission Complete: Achievement Unlocked — Sharing the Same Bed.]
[Initiating genetic fusion…]
[Fusion successful!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully conceived!]
[Beep— Detecting intense life fluctuations.]

[Congratulations, Host! You are pregnant with septuplets!]

[Note: Due to the extreme physical burden multiple fetuses place on the mother, the system will automatically activate “Maternal Protection Mode” and take over part of the host’s bodily functions.]
Bai Luoluo had long since been so exhausted that she’d passed out cold.
She didn’t hear a single one of those notifications—messages powerful enough to shatter her entire worldview.
Meanwhile, Lei Li lay staring at the pitch-black ceiling, listening to the steady, even breathing of the woman beside him, his emotions tangled beyond measure.
He reached into his pocket, wanting a cigarette.
Only to realize the pack had already been soaked through by the rain.
Irritated, he crushed the cigarette box flat in his hand.
…It was over.
This time, he was completely tied down by this woman.
