41. A Most Peculiar Breakthrough Method
“Alert: The host’s top/bottom attribute is deviating. Bottom tendency increased by 10%. The system encourages the host to continue.”
Suddenly, instead of Qiu Shui’s reply, Miss Gong received this notification from the system.
She was dumbfounded, retorting internally, “Wait, even returning a favor counts?”
The system didn’t respond, leaving her hanging awkwardly.
Of course, whether the system responded or not wasn’t a big deal.
Because shortly after, Qiu Shui’s hand gently brushed against Gong Yiling’s cheek before quickly retracting.
“A-all done.”
That wasn’t a slap.
Just a reluctant gesture under duress.
“That’s it?” Gong Yiling was still uncomfortable. “Really no need to touch back? It shouldn’t be a problem for Qiu Shui.”
“Because it’s weird!”
Qiu Shui retorted, then quickly crouched down, submerging herself up to her mouth, blowing bubbles.
Since they were both girls, was it really that weird?
Gong Yiling pondered this question.
If this was like… you know, then there might be some issues.
But she hadn’t been a woman before, so how would she know if girls groped each other while bathing?
However, since that wasn’t acceptable, she had to find another way to compensate the girl.
“Then Qiu Shui,” Gong Yiling’s mind went into overdrive,
“Let me give you a massage!”
Qiu Shui poked her mouth out of the water, asking innocently, “Master, do you know how?”
“Don’t underestimate me.”
Gong Yiling swam behind Qiu Shui, raising her hands dramatically. “This Palace Master has a special skill: petting cats.”
Qiu Shui: “Huh???”
The next moment, the professional cat-petter gently placed her hands on Qiu Shui’s neck, then slid them down her smooth back and shoulders.

Randomly pressing wasn’t difficult. Gong Yiling even found it enjoyable, her initial seriousness fading away.
As for Qiu Shui, although the touch wasn’t unusual, something she had often done for the Young Palace Master in the past two years…
After the recent events, she pursed her lips, trying to suppress any sounds, a strange feeling bubbling inside her.
Yes… they were both girls, so it shouldn’t be weird… but…

“Ahem, have you eaten?”
“Master!”
Gong Yiling’s actions made Yin Qiushui a mix of angry, embarrassed, annoyed, and speechless. She stomped her foot lightly.
Then, she quickly submerged herself in the water, ignoring Gong Yiling, who sighed inwardly.
Damn it.
Gong Yiling looked at her hands, then scratched her head with those sinful hands.
She must have angered Qiu Shui.
And anger meant a decrease in affection. It would be a waste to lose the hard-earned affection points!
“Young Palace Master is so mean.”
Chun Lian’s voice reached her ears.
Wrapped in her bathrobe, she sat by the pool, splashing water with her feet. “Chun Lian saw everything. Young Palace Master kissed Sister Qiu Shui.”
“…Huh?”
Gong Yiling was stunned, then suddenly realized.
Holy crap.
Before falling into the water, that soft, moist touch… was Qiu Shui’s lips?
The subsequent events were so overwhelming that she had completely forgotten about it.
“Could that have been… her first kiss?”
She muttered softly, then slapped herself lightly.
Of course it was.
How old was Qiu Shui? Fourteen? Fifteen? —She herself was only sixteen and had lived within the palace walls for so long. It was definitely Qiu Shui’s first kiss.
But…
Did a kiss between girls count as a first kiss?
She shouldn’t consider herself a woman. Just because she was in a female body didn’t mean she should do things that were inappropriate for men, right?
—Actually, what she had just done was already inappropriate enough.
So, if it was considered a first kiss… what should she say?
Like…
“Qiu Shui, I will take responsibility for you. You can trust me…”
That sounded too weird. Qiu Shui would probably think she was a pervert.
Then, how about a different approach? A small gift and an apology?
Like…
“Qiu Shui, Qiu Shui, this is Master’s worn white silk stockings for you. Wear them, and you’ll be the prettiest girl… What? You ask where I got them? Of course, the system gave them to me. I mean, I found them on the street… No, wait, I definitely didn’t steal them, no!”
Stop, stop, stop!
Was that something a normal person would do? How could she come up with such absurd dialogues? Was she actually a hidden pervert?
No way… that couldn’t be…
Just as she was lost in thought, Qiu Shui suddenly stood up from the water.
The girl mumbled softly, her back to Gong Yiling, “Master… actually, I… I…”
“You want to hit me? Go ahead.”
“I think I’m about to break through.”
“Break through… what!?”
