02: Girlfriend, Please Wear Your Clothes
To handle this situation, Arthur applied for a few days of leave, so he currently had some free time.
Opening the refrigerator, Arthur found only leftovers left, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He and his friends usually ate out, rarely cooking at home, so his cooking skills were quite lacking.
"Finally, how about we order some takeout for today and tomorrow? I'll take you to the grocery store," Arthur suggested.
Arthur felt like he was facing a challenge on the very first day of bringing home a girlfriend.
"Alright. There is no need for unhealthy food, I'll cook for us with whatever is there," Finley rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare the meal.
He may not have been killed in fancy dishes, but he knew how to cook.
Finley silently thought to himself that it wasn't bad at all, and it was quite nice to cook for someone. Little did he realise that he had inadvertently charmed the male lead.
Finley rubbed his eyes, feeling the downside of being a woman—how terribly annoying these fake lashes stuck to his eyes were.
Then came the unexpected reminder from the system, ["The kitchen is a good place to exchange love."]
Startled, Finley almost slipped the knife and cut his own finger. ["Fluid System can we not discuss this? Next time you remind me, can you do it more tactfully?"]
["Sorry, this is Fluid System's factory default setting. I can't change it,"] replied the system.
["Can I at least eat? The thought of the mission execution makes me uncomfortable,"] Finley said, trying to navigate the situation.
["You can eat the fluid. That is a very good idea.,"] the system agreed.
[I meant food, system, please be quiet for now."] Finley's thoughts raced.
But since he had to complete the mission, he knew he had to work hard.
"Arthur!" Finley called out as he soaked himself with the jar of water.
Arthur, who had just finished unpacking Finley's stuff, came out of the bedroom while wiping his hands. "What's wrong, Finley?"
Although he had already known that a single man in his 20s taking care of a girlfriend would have its difficulties and nuisances, he had never put it to heart.
"I did not mean it."
Arthur came to a compromise, he pulled up his sleeves, and collected the broken jar pieces.
"Finley, go wash up…"
When Arthur turned around, he realised that Finley had already taken off her clothes and was charmingly standing before him.
Finley knew the male lead had "interest" in him. As a person without any experience in having sex, Finley was actually unconfident on how to seduce a man. It was better to be direct.
Even though Finley was still his girlfriend, he had always felt that it was still not right till marriage.
"What's wrong, Art? My clothes are all wet! Now you'll need to wash them…I'll just be a burden.."
When Finley saw Arthur not moving a muscle, he could only actively add to the fire.
He reached his soft little hand out and held Arthur's big hand, hugging it to his own chest.
Arthur sensitively felt two cherries sticking onto his arm from his pull and his hand shook, causing the bra to loosen and fall.
"Art!" Finley quickly picked up his bra.
This was the first time Finley had taken initiative in letting a guy touch his own body.
Even though the body was still female and he didn't feel anything, inside, he was panicking. So he made a move and had just let go of it.
"If you don't want to touch me..I understand."
"Cough, forgive me, Finley." Arthur felt it was a little hot inside the room.
"This was the first time I touched them..I will get used to it, don't worry."
The fuck! What was he saying about the future? Arthur felt deep disdain for himself.
Arthur picked up the pace and bought new clothes for Finley. Without paying attention, he tried to help Finley wear them.
"Ah, Art, you're being so rough!" Finley feigned anger coquettishly.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't hurt you, did I, Finley?"
He sighed in his heart. Why did it feel hot making Finley wear clothes rather than running a marathon?
"Art, you're sweating." Finley took his little hand and wiped Arthur's forehead.
