LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 50: Advancement
"How... how come it's still not in time... we... we all have families..." There was a hint of melancholy and shyness in Sally's eyes.
Even as her gaze dodged, there was also a trace of expectation and excitement.
Harry held her soft, jade-like hand, making Sally feel both comfortable and warmly anticipatory. She had no intention of letting him go; instead, she allowed Harry to hold her hand. Harry naturally sensed that Sally was not resisting him.
Moreover, he noticed a glimmer of anticipation in her demeanor.
[Current state: shy, guilty, slightly nervous, enjoying, looking forward to, slightly guilty, conflicted, tangled]
[Intimacy: 20 (First acquaintance)]
The initial physical contact had been tentatively completed. Sally did not resist; judging from her state, she was enjoying the closeness and looking forward to more.
The next step, according to the system, was to proceed to the third phase by attempting to touch Sally's waist or legs—further deepening their physical connection.
However, what surprised Harry was that since he had entered the room, the level of intimacy with Sally had stubbornly remained at 20 (first acquaintance).
No matter what he did, he couldn't seem to push it any further. It appeared that the nature of a casual hookup differed from truly winning a woman's heart. After all, in such encounters, the goal was merely to rely on each other's bodies to relieve loneliness and emptiness.
The desire for the other's body was far stronger and more immediate than any emotional need. This stagnant intimacy level suggested that Sally harbored no deep feelings for him; rather, she simply needed him to soothe her loneliness and satisfy her physical cravings.
That realization emboldened Harry even further.
[Tip: You have successfully completed the second step of the approach. Next, try to touch the target's waist or legs. This area is more sensitive, and the target is likely to be alert and resist. If the other party shows resistance and disgust, please stop immediately and look for a new opportunity to try again. If you force your way forward when the other party resists and dislikes, you are likely to face failure.]
Prompted by the system's advice, Harry suddenly stood up, kept holding Sally's hand, and sat down beside her at a respectful distance.
With a mysterious tone, he said, "I heard that there is a way to test whether two people are destined to be together. How about we try it?"
"What method?" Sally's eyes lit up, clearly intrigued by Harry's enigmatic proposal.
"I heard that two people are destined to be together if the boy's arm is exactly the same length as the girl's waist. Let me try and see if we are destined to be together," Harry declared without waiting for further consent.
He naturally stretched out his arm and gently draped it around Sally's slender waist.
"Wow! Sally, I didn't expect your waist to be so thin... It looks like my arms can just fit around it!" Harry smiled and shifted his body, pressing his warm, hot body against Sally's soft, fragrant one. Their legs brushed against each other in the process.
Facing Harry's natural and intimate contact, Sally became aware of his masculine scent and the warmth of his breath. Her breathing quickened slightly.
With a flushed face, she gently pushed Harry away and coquettishly scolded him, "If you want to hug me, then hug me! And stop telling me such lies. Do you often lie to women like this?"
Though Sally tried to push him, Harry's hold remained. Despite her playful complaints, her body softened, and she leaned further into his embrace. Feeling the softness and warmth of her hand, Harry swallowed hard as his breathing grew more rapid.
His face felt hot and burning. Sally's freshly washed hair, with its faint rose scent, made him feel as though he were surrounded by a sea of flowers.
Lowering his head, Harry glanced at their entwined arms. Sally was leaning sideways in his arms, her neckline wide open. Her plump, round breasts swayed gently, and the generous expanse of snow-white flesh presented an irresistible visual temptation.
Harry longed to reach out and grasp those soft, full breasts to savor their beauty. The mere sight of them set his heart ablaze. The thought of holding those enticing, round breasts in his hands and playing with them filled him with anticipation.
[Hint: You have successfully completed the third step of the approach. If the target does not resist, you can move on to the fourth step—touching the sensitive parts of the other person's face above the neck, such as the lips, hair, cheeks, and ears.]
[Remember, this step will quickly increase the intimacy between the two of you, so you must create a comfortable, warm, or romantic atmosphere in this step. Let the target blend into your atmosphere, and then move forward naturally. If the other party can accept it, it proves that you can move on to the last step of the move—kissing.]
[If this step cannot be completed or fails, you must immediately break away from physical contact, re-establish a high-value display to the other party, enhance the sense of connection, and create a sense of comfort before trying again.]
Seeing the system prompt, Harry didn't take it seriously this time. In fact, already infatuated with Sally, he felt that the extra steps prescribed were a bit cumbersome and unnecessary.
Based on his extensive experience with one‐night stands, Harry believed that if a woman had already taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, it was obvious that Sally was ready for an affair.
Sally had even invited him to her home from so far away just to have dinner, and then she had taken the initiative to come into his embrace.
That, Harry thought, meant she wanted it too. Since both were simply trying to vent their feelings and understand each other's bodies, why should they be so secretive?
With his heart already aflame and stirred by desire, Harry felt that this prescribed step was completely superfluous. This time, he decided to deviate from the system prompts and follow his own ideas.
After all, while the master can only lead you to the door, the actual practice still depended on yourself. He always felt as though he was missing a sense of accomplishment when he strictly followed the system's instructions.
Looking at Sally's charming appearance and her rosy red lips, Harry gradually lost control of his heated, unbearable body.
"Sally, have you ever thought about finding a lover?" he asked, tightening his grip slightly around her slender waist so that her delicate body leaned closer against his.
Lowering his head, his heavy breathing punctuating the moment, he continued affectionately, "This lover can take care of you, love you, satisfy you—give you romance, tenderness, and all the satisfaction your husband fails to provide when he isn't around..."
"Hmm..." Sally moaned softly, lowering her head shyly while biting her tender, tempting red lips with her pearly teeth, her breathing growing heavier with each passing moment.
That look made Harry's heart leap like that of a startled deer. Her eyes gradually blurred, and a blush spread across her cheeks. His strong body and hot breath stirred her desire, leaving her unable to extricate herself.
After a long period of sexual deprivation, Sally—who had been aroused by Harry the previous night and left unsatisfied—felt an uncontrollable heat surge in her core the moment his body brushed against hers.
A trickle of love fluid flowed from her, wetting her panties, numbing her body, and leaving her with a warm, wet sensation in her crotch.
"Sally... do you think I can do it?" Harry murmured.
As her breasts pressed softly against his chest, and he felt the warm softness of her shy, charming presence, Harry finally could not resist the restlessness in his heart.
He reached out to cup her cheek, suddenly lowered his head, and kissed her delicate lips. His large hands couldn't wait to pinch Sally's soft, plump, snow‐white breasts.
"Hmm!~~~" came the soft sound in reply.
Harry's sudden passionate kiss shattered the warm, sweet, and ambiguous atmosphere. His somewhat abrupt actions immediately alerted Sally.
Thinking of her husband and daughter at home, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of shame—the burning desire seeming to be quenched like a flame doused with cold water.
Suddenly stimulated by a surge of guilt, she pushed Harry away and, her voice tinged with embarrassment, said, "Harry! You... don't do this... we... we all have families... and... and we don't know each other well yet... don't be too anxious... give me some time... let's get to know each other better... okay?"
[Current state: nervous, vigilant, ashamed, guilty, hesitant, embarrassed, regretful, contradictory]
[Tip: If the advance fails, it is recommended to immediately break away from physical contact and create a new atmosphere, otherwise, the mission will fail.]
Seeing Sally's current state, Harry cursed inwardly and felt as if he wanted to slap himself in the face. Judging by her demeanor and the system's prompts, it was obvious that she had developed a resistance to him.
If he wanted to continue developing the situation, it seemed there was no chance today. When it came to picking up women, one couldn't be impatient if one didn't get the best deal.
Now, Harry had come to his senses and realized exactly where he had gone wrong.
For a married young woman, the biggest obstacle was the guilt toward her family and the shame of cheating. After all, a person's moral values are shaped by what they see and hear from childhood and become deeply rooted in the heart.
Until a breakthrough is made, this deeply ingrained moral code looms like a mountain that is difficult to cross.
However, women are emotional creatures. With the right ambiguous atmosphere—one that leads them into a state of ecstasy and gradually arouses their desires—even the staunchest moral ethics can be punctured as easily as a piece of paper with a light poke.
Harry knew that the mistake he had just made was his impatience, which had ruined the delicate atmosphere. Had he followed the system's prompts step by step, he would have definitely been able to win Sally over.
But now, everything had become complicated again. It seemed impossible to take down Sally today.
Looking at such a beauty before him, yet being unable to have sex with her to his heart's content, Harry suddenly felt the urge to throw everything away.
