Chapter 85 - Woah, Chill Girl.
Three days had passed since Lexi's drowned herself with alcohol. From then, she hadn't heard from Ethan and neither did she contacted him.
"Woah, you only got four days before the side quests ends chu~" Churu commented as she scan Lexi's messy surrounding.
Currently, Lexi was munching different chips and sweets while laughing her ass off watching a comedy show. Though Churu knew that she was doing this because of the damn side quests, however, why does it seem that Lexi was enjoying this unlike her protest several days ago?
"I know that is what I'm doing -- completing it!" In a matter of factly tone, Lexi responded while opening another snack to gobble up.
"Completing one! What about the others chu?!" The little dumpling had never been this strict before, but seeing her host in this state now, she could not help but think that the system was doing this on purpose… on the second note, it was actually built like that!
Still, how about her main task? It's been days since Lexi talked with Ethan and by the looks of it, she totally forgot everything about him! She didn't even probe what she had done to him that night, probably to save herself from embarrassment.
"Woah, chill girl. I can complete the other two anytime but this, gaining weight up to 140 lbs is harder than what it looks like. I might look like I'm enjoying this but in truth… I am no-- Omg~! This is heavenly~!"
Shamelessly justifying her reasoning, Lexi abruptly stopped when she bit at the custard bun on the side. Her face glitter and it's as if she finally found the taste that could cure cancer.
Indeed, though Lexi seemed she had retained her good figure through the years, but selected individual knew her secret history.
Back when she was abroad, Lexi gained considerable weight to the extent that even she, couldn't recognize herself. After all, living in a city that status doesn't matter and she got no image to protect, she could say that it was one of the times that she enjoyed life.
One of the reasons why she had to stay a little longer abroad to burn all her fats before seeing the former love of her life.
However, no matter where she goes or what she felt back then, the moment she came back in her home country, Lexi was slapped with the life she was born and the community standards for her; which made her forget those times.
Fortunately, because of this seemingly unreasonable, pushy system, it reminded her of the brighter side of that past.
"This is so good~"
On the other hand, Churu face palmed at the shameless lie coming out from Lexi's mouth. She could not believe that Lexi would be this extreme this time. But, thinking that Lexi was still unaware of the system's current status, it was only her consolation from all this headache.
'It's still good, I could finally have my facial session later' Churu convinced herself inwardly.
Suddenly, the ever familiar notification sound of the system rang which froze the adorable dumpling in an instant.
[ Congratulations! Side Quest: Gain 140 lbs in seven days COMPLETED!
Side Quest:
Gain 140 lbs (Completed)
Bless your lips with a kiss (Completed)
Find a job (No progress) ]
"Nooo --! Why didn't it made it 145lbs!" Lexi protested in aggravation reading the first sentence of the system.
In the next second, invisible flames was ignited as she read further details. Shifting her deadly glare on the frozen flying dumpling, Lexi grinded her teeth.
"Sissy… why is the bless your lips with a kiss completed?" Trying to calm her raging heart, Lexi smiled towards Churu but to no avail, it only horrified the cute small bun. She added,
"One wrong word, and you could be either be fried or steamed. Hehe"
"Chu-- I, Chu -- please Sissy! We're sisters right?" Kowtowing on the bed, Churu pleaded for her life or rather, a time to reduce her punishment.
"Oh, Sisters… yeah, but sisters never keep secrets from each other right? You won't be grounded if you tell me the truth; did I kissed him that night? If I did… where?"
Churu gravitated on Lexi's expression that suddenly turned from a vampire showing her fangs to a hopeless little girl.
"Ahh… in -- in the nose chu." Stuttering, Churu admitted trying to find any mishap from Lexi.
When Churu blurted out that she kissed Ethan Lu on the nose, Lexi heavily slumped her bum back on the couch with her mind slightly malfunctioning and relieved.
"In the nose…" Lexi heedlessly mumbled. She deliberately didn't probe further regarding the real happening that night as she wanted to save herself from digging a hole to bury herself.
But now, being caught off guard with this news, how could she remained at ease without knowing every detail from that night?
"Tell me Sissy… what did I actually did that night?" Without turning her gaze from the show she was attentively watching earlier, she inquired in a low tone.
"Ahh…" Churu scratched the side of her cheeks by her index finger as she pondered what she should tattle and what she'd leave behind. She resumed as she flew to Lexi's side.
"Nothing really, aside from puking on his shirt and calling him 'Sissy' -- I don't think it's healthy for your brain to know more chu."
Leaving behind the fact that Lexi mistook Ethan's manhood to a flashlight and she walked around naked, Churu chose to lessen the casualty.
"Puking on him… calling him a sissy…" Lexi repeated as she envisioned Ethan's reaction that night. Now, she understood the vague meaning behind the bags under his eyes and the reason why he shooed her away.
"Ah! Right! On a brighter note, you completed your main initial task!" Being reminded of the important detail, Churu cheerfully relayed her news with excitement.
"Completed the task… hah?!?"
