133: I don't want something that's offered for free?

"Is your illness very serious?"

Cao Lang couldn't help but ask.

He let Xia Rushuang lead him into the house by the hand; after she let go, he felt a bit of lingering attachment to the softness he had just felt.

"Yes, very serious."

"However, tonight is not the time to consider that issue."

Xia Rushuang sat on the soft sofa in the living room, her legs crossed and slanted to the side, her beautiful eyes carefully sizing up Cao Lang.

The glass chandelier overhead emitted a gentle light, illuminating both their faces.

At this moment, Cao Lang could also see Xia Rushuang's face more clearly.

She truly lived up to being a woman whose looks and figure were both rated 99 points by the System.

Her stunningly beautiful face showed not a single flaw from any angle.

A black mini-dress barely covered her rounded, perky buttocks, revealing snow-white skin at the top of her thighs that invited endless imagination. Above her wide, beautiful hips was a slender willow waist; such perfect proportions would make even the Goddess of Beauty feel ashamed in comparison.

She exuded an unparalleled aura of elegance and luxury. The short dress covered her jade-like, creamy skin, reflecting how fortunate such expensive clothing was to be worn by the beauty before him.

Despite being in the simplest sitting posture, with her arms crossed beneath her full, ample chest, her exquisite curves made her look like a fairy who had just descended to the mortal world. Even her light eyebrows overflowed with a peerless, ethereal spirit.

The moment their gazes met, for an instant, Cao Lang seemed to see a deep, mysterious starlit lake, revealing countless complex emotions: calmness, sadness, pain, optimism, desire, composure, leisure... It was this pair of eyes, filled with complex emotions, that was beautiful enough to steal any man's soul.

What kind of background, what kind of care, and what kind of extreme experiences could have nurtured such a woman?

"Sister, is your drain clogged? I'm here to help you clear the pipes."

Cao Lang reined in his thoughts, hiding his momentary look of infatuation, and joked.

Xia Rushuang's breath was as fragrant as orchids as she said with a beaming smile:

"For some reason, tonight when I was scrolling through TikTok, it was all videos of you. I originally thought you were just a pretty boy with no substance, but as TikTok's pushes became more and more excessive, I saw you playing the piano, DJing, and even writing scripts. Plus, you were only 400 meters away from me, which naturally piqued my interest."

"I've never invited a man to my home; you are the exception."

Cao Lang felt lucky that he was able to see Xia Rushuang's message among the thousands of private messages. If it were now, with TikTok's even more terrifying push traffic, Xia Rushuang would probably have been drowned in the crowd.

He knew the program he wrote better than anyone; although the traffic was targeted, the intensity of the pushes remained undiminished.

Xia Rushuang continued:

"A person's life is like a season for plants; there are always many regrets. However, life cannot be redone, so living well in the present is what's most important. Cao Lang, stay with me tonight."

Cao Lang was stunned.

It felt a bit surreal.

Compared to what Xia Rushuang was saying, he was now more concerned about what exactly was going on with her illness!

Based on his conversation with Lin Yiyi, it seemed like she was going to pass away tomorrow, and tonight she just wanted to experience what it was like to be a woman.

After all, Cao Lang could see very clearly that Xia Rushuang was T0, and still an inexperienced super beauty.

"Sis, when it comes to clearing drains, I've got it down pat. Even backflow is no problem. But, what exactly is your illness?"

Cao Lang felt a bit uneasy; he was afraid that if Xia Rushuang had an episode in bed and died there, where would he go to plead his case?

As it turned out, he hadn't guessed wrong.

Cao Lang's seemingly crude and vulgar words actually made Xia Rushuang happy from the bottom of her heart.

She had never been so unrestrained as she was tonight; it felt very interesting.

However, while she was happy, her heart also felt uncomfortable.

"I have a rare heart disease. The doctor said I might not live past this year. As for when that day will come, maybe tomorrow, or maybe the very next moment."

"I think that rather than dying in pain, it's better to reach the peak of pleasure. I want to experience the feeling of being a woman. Do you have the guts?"

Xia Rushuang looked indifferent as she frankly stated her thoughts.

This was something she had considered for a long time and had already made up her mind about; she only had the chance to put it into practice tonight.

"What's your family's background? If you die in bed, they won't come after me, will they?" Cao Lang raised an eyebrow.

"I can't guarantee that. The Old Man might get angry, and if he does, I wouldn't dare try to persuade him. Also, my brother's marksmanship is very accurate."

Xia Rushuang's eyes were playful as she stared at Cao Lang, observing his expression, seemingly guessing that he would be hesitant.

After all, anyone who knew her background was incredibly wary.

"Haha, to die under a peony flower and be a ghost with a romantic soul—what do I have to fear? Go take a shower; I'm going home to grab something."

"Oh? What are you grabbing?"

"Grabbing some medicine. After all, with a beauty like you, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't enjoy myself to the fullest?"

Hearing Cao Lang's bold and suggestive words, Xia Rushuang's usually calm emotions fluctuated violently, and her heart felt a slight pang of pain.

Three parts excitement, three parts fear, three parts confusion, and one part anticipation.

After Cao Lang knew her true thoughts, he had no more worries.

As the saying goes, anyone who doesn't take advantage of a bargain is a bastard!

Besides, she was giving 50 Enhancement Value points.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.

Su Wei was right; Xia Rushuang might have been just talking big, but his current task was to turn that talk into reality.

Actually, he had already guessed who Xia Rushuang's grandfather was. After all, there weren't many people with the surname Xia who were also involved with guns.

However, the reward for successfully holding hands had a countdown.

If he missed this chance, there wouldn't be another one.

You're offering yourself for free, and I shouldn't take it?

Then I wouldn't be a Cao!

Looking at Cao Lang's serious eyes, Xia Rushuang was somewhat surprised to find that this man was for real.

This actually made her think more highly of him.

It made sense; her beauty was enough to make any man ignore the consequences.

Cao Lang was also very handsome, meeting Xia Rushuang's requirements for a future partner.

In that case, let's make it happen tonight.

As for what happens afterward, it depends on whether Cao Lang is lucky enough to survive.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower."

Xia Rushuang already had the determination to face death. She had actually envisioned tonight's arrival thousands of times... Soon, Cao Lang returned with his things, and Xia Rushuang had also finished her shower.

Their eyes met, the atmosphere was steamy, and on this summer midnight, a passionate drama was about to unfold.

"So, shall we go to the bedroom? Or on the sofa?"

Xia Rushuang panted slightly, her high chest heaving. These words were like a stone thrown into the lake deep in her heart, stirring up ripples.

Whenever her emotions fluctuated, her heart would hurt.

Her condition was getting more and more serious.

She probably wouldn't last until then.

However, Xia Rushuang had long since become indifferent; death had never been scary to her.

"Let's go to the bedroom."

"Okay."

Cao Lang readily agreed.

After arriving in the bedroom.

"You'd better hold on for a bit longer; don't die too quickly."

"You have a great figure. Thank you for your gift; I won't be polite."

"..."

Whether intentionally or not, Cao Lang kept using stimulating words.

Xia Rushuang seemed to have flipped a switch; she didn't resist Cao Lang's frivolous words, but instead became excited. Her body secreted a large amount of dopamine and adrenaline, making her emotions sensitive.

But following that, her heart hurt more and more... Like a final burst of energy before death, she actually couldn't feel the discomfort in her heart for a short time.

All the sounds in the world disappeared, leaving only Cao Lang's frivolous words... Warm Reminder: The website will be revised soon, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your 'Bookshelf' and 'Reading Records' (screenshots recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience!
