Chapter 284 : The Ultimate Weapon... Panties!
“Phew~ Finally finished!”
Ling Ning stood in the now spotless room, admiring her work with satisfaction. Turning a messy room into a clean, organized space brought a powerful sense of accomplishment.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead. Despite the air conditioning, the effort had left her a bit warm.
“Hm? What’s this?”
Ling Ning noticed a small, out-of-place patch of black on the bed. Picking it up, she realized it was a pair of black lace panties. It must have fallen out while she was making the bed.
Surprised, she chuckled—who’d have thought quiet, demure Lin Xi would wear such bold underwear? The pair was almost as daring as the one Li Qian had gifted her, which she’d hidden away in her wardrobe. She couldn’t imagine wearing something so risqué herself.
“What… what are you doing?”
Lin Xi stared, stunned, at the scene before her. She’d been resting in the living room but felt guilty about relaxing while Ling Ning cleaned her room. Her leg wasn’t hurting that much, so she’d decided to see if she could lend a hand.
But she hadn’t expected to walk in and find Ling Ning examining her newly purchased “battle panties”! Her initial thought was confirmed—letting this perverted freak clean her room was a mistake. Forget valuables; it was her private belongings she should have been worried about!
“Oh, this?” Ling Ning dangled the black lace panties. “I found it while making your bed. I’m not interested in your stuff, believe me. But I have to admit, you’ve got a bold choice here.”
“Y-you…”
Just as Lin Xi was about to argue back, she took in the sight of her transformed room. The action figures scattered everywhere were now neatly displayed on shelves. The clothes that had been lying around were gone, and the curtains had been drawn open, bathing the room in light. It was as if she were looking at a completely different space.
Even her mother had never managed to organize her room to this degree.
“By the way, where did you put my clothes?”
“Mostly in here.” Ling Ning opened the wardrobe to reveal neatly hung clothes. It was pleasing to the eye, and everything was perfectly organized.
“Oh, and the clothes you’d worn? I took them to be washed.”
“How could you tell which ones I’d worn?”
“I just smelled them,” Ling Ning replied matter-of-factly.
“…”
Lin Xi nearly burst into tears—this perverted freak, smelling her clothes to see if they’d been worn? Who even does that?
“Hey, is this your boyfriend?”
Ling Ning pointed to a framed photo on the desk, which showed Lin Xi with a handsome young man. Judging by their smiles, they looked like a couple.
“Yes,” Lin Xi replied with a gentle smile. The guy in the photo was her boyfriend of three years. The “battle panties” were actually a surprise for him. His birthday was coming up soon, and she wanted to do something special. They’d been dating for so long, and all they’d done was hold hands—she thought a big surprise might make him happy.
“But if you’re hurt, why hasn’t your boyfriend come to see you?”
“He’s been busy lately,” Lin Xi pouted. She would much rather have her boyfriend here than this perverted freak.
Ling Ning just smiled and didn’t comment, instead stretching with a satisfied yawn. “Well, I’ve finished tidying up. You should rest. I’ll take the trash out.”
“Oh~”
“Oh, and by the way, what kind of food do you like?” Ling Ning asked, turning back at the door.
“Food? Just order some takeout. Don’t tell me you actually cook?”
“We’ll see~”

“Why’d you buy so many groceries? Just so you know, I’m not cooking!” Lin Xi said as she opened the door, eyeing the two bags of groceries in Ling Ning’s hands.
“Relax, I’ll handle the cooking.”
Lin Xi gave her a skeptical look. With her delicate appearance, Ling Ning didn’t seem like the type who could cook. She suddenly worried about what this perverted freak might put in the food. Would there be computer parts or something? Lin Xi felt a pang of anxiety.
“You’ll see,” Ling Ning replied with a mysterious smile, heading straight into the kitchen. Despite its prolonged disuse, there was still an apron hanging there, and the ventilation was in good working order. After setting everything up, Ling Ning began cooking.
Still dubious, Lin Xi followed her into the kitchen. But as she watched Ling Ning’s practiced movements, she realized that Ling Ning genuinely knew her way around the kitchen.
“Guess you can’t judge by appearances,” Lin Xi mused. With looks like hers, who’d guess that Ling Ning was secretly a perverted freak?
Watching Ling Ning move with perfect “wife energy,” Lin Xi sighed. For the life of her, she couldn’t understand why a beautiful, rich, and talented girl like Ling Ning also happened to be a perverted freak.

“Well, I’ll be off. Remember to rest up. I made extra food—it’s in the fridge, so just heat it up for dinner. And try to cut back on the instant noodles—they’re terrible for you.”
“Got it, you nagging perverted freak.”
“If you hadn’t helped me find my bracelet, I wouldn’t have bothered with all this.”
“Go, just go.”
Lin Xi watched as Ling Ning’s figure disappeared around the corner of the hallway, then quietly closed the door.
“Maybe that perverted freak isn’t so bad after all…”
