Though paralyzed, still radiantly charming!

Chapter 130: Thank you

“Auntie!” Ethan stretched out his arms and, catching her off guard, pulled her into a hug.

“Ah?!” Scarlett hadn’t expected this sudden move. In her eyes, her nephew had always been the fragile boy who needed her care.

Caught completely off guard, she realized how strong he was only when she was already fully embraced by him.

“So soft.” Ethan felt his aunt’s soft body, the sexy beauty in his arms was his girlfriend.

They could do more, more daring and naughty things.

“Alright, that’s enough.” Scarlett struggled out of his embrace, stealing a glance at Blair behind her, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

Even though they were dating, hugging in front of Blair still made her face burn.

“I’m starting a new job the day after tomorrow, and I’ll be busy getting familiar with the work, so I won’t be able to visit you as often,” she said, her eyes flickering with regret.

She couldn’t clearly define her feelings for her nephew—whether they were familial or romantic.

So, having an excuse to not visit him often was a relief for her.

“I see.” Ethan looked down, seemingly disheartened.

Seeing him upset, Scarlett quickly added, “We’ll have plenty of time in the future.”

“I’d like a kiss,” Ethan seized the moment to make his request.

Scarlett glanced at Blair, suggesting she kiss him right there and then.

“I’ll go for a walk.” Blair turned and left, quietly closing the door behind her. Just as the door shut, she saw Ethan eagerly kissing Scarlett on the lips.

She stood in the hallway, looking into the distance, her gaze calm. After a while, she placed her hand on her chest.

Blair stayed outside for a full half-hour.

Scarlett emerged from the room, looking embarrassed: “Blair, I need to go back and prepare my onboarding documents.”

She hurried off in her high heels, her awkwardness barely concealed.

Blair noticed that beneath her tight skirt, the black stockings were gone, revealing long, white, straight legs that made her walk in heels look odd.

Blair silently watched Scarlett leave and after a long silence, she too turned and left the room.

The next day, after morning classes, Blair sat alone by the school’s flower beds, lost in thought.

“Hey, Blair, you look like you’ve got something on your mind.” Emily approached, dressed casually with her long black hair tied back in a ponytail, her beauty undeniable.

Blair looked up at her: “A bit. I can’t seem to calm down. Today’s your last day at school, right?”

“Yeah,” Emily smiled, turning to look at the school building. “It’s a bit sad to leave, but life moves on. I need to attend some prep classes so I don’t fall behind when Yale Law School starts next semester. After all, it’s filled with geniuses from all over the country.”

Emily turned back to Blair. “Enough about me. I didn’t expect to see such an interesting expression on your face.”

“I…” Blair hesitated, “Lately, seeing him with Mom, I’ve been feeling like maybe I’m the odd one out.”

“Oh?” Emily propped her chin on her hand, eyeing Blair. “Looks like I might have another rival for Ethan’s affections. He really is a troublesome man.”

“I’m not,” Blair shook her head. “My feelings for him aren’t romantic.”

“Isn’t that good?” Emily looked up at Blair’s face. “Whether it’s love or just feeling like something important is being taken by your sister, it’s all part of a complex mix of emotions.”

“You’re experiencing intense emotions like never before, and that comes with pain.”

“Encountering these feelings is a treasure in life because it shows you’ve found something you truly care about.”

“So, why not just follow your heart?”

As Emily spoke, she glanced at her watch. “I’ve got to go, Blair. See you around—and if you turn out to be my rival by then, I won’t go easy on you.”

With a wave, she disappeared into the crowd.

It was evening.

Ethan sat on the hospital bed, experimenting with his abilities. His skill, Void Dick, had upgraded to LV2, allowing him to manipulate it with just his thoughts.

However, without upgrading his Dick Control skill, it was like wielding a long stick—no precise maneuvers were possible.

Although it had a range of five feet, the farther the distance, the weaker the control.

Of course, if he was close enough to an enemy, he could now attack directly with the Void Dick, aiming for the jaw to stun them, or even engage in a surprise fencing match. With his current Hard as a Rock LV4 effect, he could definitely inflict fatal damage.

Ethan was always proving that with these skills, there was no good or bad,they just were.

If he wanted to further enhance his abilities, to perform complex maneuvers with a 10-inch “Pecker,” he’d need to continue upgrading his skills.

Ethan was still pondering his next move when the door to the room opened.

Blair walked in, tossed her backpack onto the bed, and approached him.

“Blair, just spit it out, you’re giving me a weird look,” Ethan said, finding her sudden appearance odd since it wasn’t even time for her classes to end.

Had she skipped school early? Although Blair didn’t usually seem like she was serious about her classes, blatantly skipping was a first.

“Hey, what are you up to?”

Ethan had no idea what Blair was thinking.

Blair stared into his eyes, then her gaze dropped to his lips. “I’ve never really kissed anyone before, and now I want to try.”

“Ah?” Ethan was baffled. “What are you talking about? You’ve never kissed anyone, so you come to me? And we’re family, I’m like your brother, aren’t I?”

“Is Mom special?” Blair’s voice was calm, as if she had anticipated his excuses. “I just want to confirm something. Will you help me?”

Ethan was silent. Could he really say no?

Obviously not.

Not to mention Blair had helped him too much, and he had been all over his aunt recently. Her black stockings were still under his pillow, used as a prop the previous night.

“I guess… okay,” Ethan felt pretty lousy about himself.

He looked at Blair, who had a somewhat androgynous charm.

Suddenly, Blair leaned in, and their lips touched.

Just as she had said, Blair had no experience. It was forceful, but clearly her first time.

Well, they were kissing now.

He didn’t use his tongue, just pressed his lips against hers in a very ordinary way.

Then, no further action.

They just felt each other.

For a long while.

Blair pulled away, her expression unchanged. “Thank you.”

She then moved from his bed and lay down quietly on another bed in the room.
