Lian Li couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt as she watched Reika's serene and content face, peacefully nestled in Kai's lap. The sight of her dear friend, so at ease and comforted, made Lian Li realize that she had unintentionally pushed Kai away. She took a deep breath and buried the slowly building forbidden feelings in her heart.
She glared at Kai and said, "Don't think that all the women you want will like you back. I'm not an easy woman. Hmph!" Lian Li said as she crossed her arms, causing her perky breasts to rise up. She averted her gaze to the side and looked outside the window to avoid Kai.
Kai still hasn't accepted the quest, so he still doesn't know what she truly feels, as her conqueror points still haven't moved an inch. Otherwise, he would know that all her actions were opposite to what she truly wants.
'Looks like this woman is a tough nut to crack… but once I crack you, I'll eat you up.' Kai thought, as he looked intently at her assets that she unconsciously raised.
It seems that she is the type of woman who doesn't realize that some of her actions can inadvertently seduce a man.
'I can't believe that a man would just let this seductress stay single.'
Kai shook his head and put it to the back of his mind. Today is Reika's day, so he isn't in a hurry to conquer this alluring woman.
He looked at Reika's sleeping face and couldn't help but lean down to kiss her cheeks. Reika smiled, seemingly feeling his warm kiss but still deep in her slumber. He just let her sleep since she looked really tired, and they will be using a lot of energy later.

After driving for almost half an hour, they finally reached Kai's home and parked in front of the gate. It is a three-story building. It is unbelievable that only a lonely student is living in this house. They can see that no one is inside the house since all the lights are turned off.
As they stepped out of the car, Kai effortlessly carried Reika in his arms in a princess-like manner. It was almost like something out of a fairytale. He closed the door and the shield window slowly descends as Lian Li glances at Kai's house.
"Senior, I can't thank you enough for giving us a ride. I have been so indebted to you."
"No need to worry, I can't just leave my friend to commute during these hours." Lial LI said.
And she continued "Hey, it seems pretty quiet at home. Where's your Family?"
"Ah, well, it's just me living here."
"Just you? In this big house?"
"Yeah, living alone can definitely get a bit lonely. But I've actually grown quite accustomed to it and I kind of like the solitude. It gives me this peaceful mind, you know? Like I have my own little sanctuary where I can just be myself. Plus, I don't have to worry about anyone else's mess or schedule except my own."
'Well, that was before but now.' Kai added, and looked at Reika's sleeping face.
Lian Li's gaze shifted from Kai's to Reika, who was soundly asleep. She couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, knowing that her question hadn't made Kai uncomfortable.
She then looked at Reika who was sleeping peacefully and to Kai who's carrying her in a princess carry like a prince. She felt a tinge of jealousy in her heart but she calmed it down before it bloomed.
"Well then, take care of my friend."
"I will."
"That's sweet."
"Senior, would you like to join us?" Kai said as he curled his lips upwards.
Lian Li's face turned even redder and shouted, "Who wants to join you? If I ever see my friend cry because of you, I will hunt you down!"
She hurriedly closed the window, but before it fully closed, she left a word that made Kai dumbfounded.
"P-please use protection."
Kai just stared blankly as the car drove away. He just stood there, trying to process properly. He didn't even get shocked when the system appeared out of nowhere, but now, the words Lian Li left behind caused his brain to restart automatically.
He tilted his head and muttered, "Did I hear something wrong? It's been a wild day today, and now an alluring lady is giving me advice to use protection."
"... What a crazy day."
Kai shook his head and with Reika in his arms, he walked towards the house. Being all fancy and automated, the gate decided to close itself as Kai strolled onwards towards the house.
Once inside, Kai found himself in a cozy guest waiting room. The room boasted classy sofas and elegant tables, creating an inviting atmosphere. He turned on the lights and, with Reika still peacefully dozing off, Kai navigated towards the living room.
As he reached the living room, Kai gently laid Reika down on the wide, plush sofa. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he gazed upon her delicate features. The room's warm ambiance, coupled with the sight of Reika sleeping soundly, brought a gentle smile to Kai's face. He couldn't help but marvel at the innocence captured in the moment.
Taking a moment to soak in the tranquility, Kai admired Reika's serene slumber. The house seemed to echo with peace, and the reassuring beat of their presence filled the air. It was a haven, a sanctuary where memories were waiting to be made. And in that tender moment, Kai couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple joys that life had blessed him with today.
"You're already in the wolf's den and you're still sleeping peacefully? What a carefree lady," Kai said as he leaned down and pecked on her smooth cheeks.
He was getting addicted to these intimate actions.
He strolled into the kitchen, feeling a mix of hunger and laziness creeping up on him. His eyes darted around the countertops, scanning for any ingredients that could potentially turn into a satisfying meal.
"Hmm. What should I cook tonight?" he pondered aloud, scratching his head.
Time was ticking away, and the night had grown late. He needed something quick and easy, nourishing yet easy on the stomach. His eyes landed on a carton of chicken broth and a bag of baby carrots.
"Soup it is,"
With a lazy flick of the wrist, he grabbed a cooking pot from the cabinet and filled it with water. His thoughts raced as he remembered the half-package of sliced mushrooms hiding in the darkest corner of the fridge. Grabbing them quickly, he chopped them coarsely and tossed them into the pot.
A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and a few leaves of fresh thyme added to the mix created an intoxicating scent that filled the entire kitchen. His stomach growled in response. He lowered the flame and let it cook. He set a timer in case he forgot as he wanted to check the system while he waited for the soup to be cooked.
He sat down and opened the system window.
"Alright. What do we have here?"
Kai saw on the list of bars above that there was a red dot. Curious, he clicked the Quest bar that had a red dot.

In the quest menu, there are now 4 bars: Daily Quest, Random Quest, the new feature, Chain Quest, and World Quest. He clicked the Daily Quest and the red dot above it disappeared.

'Hmm. I completed the 4 quests and I should be able to complete number 6.'
'No! I'm not gonna be a wimp anymore. I won't act like a gentleman and wait until marriage just for that jerk to steal my girl!'
Kai's eyes flashed with anger as he thought about his best friend. But then, Reika's peaceful sleeping face popped into his mind.
He remembered that his feelings were also directed towards Reika. He didn't want to wake her up and burden her with his own problems. He didn't know why, but when the system appeared, it stirred up the feelings he had buried deep inside him, like a huge rock disturbing a calm lake.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. After a while, a smile crept onto his face.
"It seems like her presence in my life is much more significant than I thought," he thought to himself.
Whenever he remembered his painful past, just the thought of Reika would bring him comfort. This was the kind of feeling he had been longing for all along - the embrace and protection of a woman, guarding his emotions.
