My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 9 Spend the night
After Chen Xiaomiao was enthusiastically "sold" milk bath by the middle-aged woman while still feeling dizzy, and after rinsing herself clean and changing into the soft and loose bathrobe provided by the bath center, she was still a little lightheaded when she left.

Back in the lobby, Lu Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

"Is it comfortable?"

"Ah."

Chen Xiaomiao nodded shyly, a warm blush spreading across her face. Her damp long hair clung to her temples, making her foxy eyes appear even brighter.

She gripped the front of her yukata tightly with both hands, clearly uncomfortable with her "light" attire.

It wasn't until she saw that Lu Yuan was also wearing the same bathrobe, and then looked around and found that everyone coming and going was dressed the same way, that feeling of shame slowly subsided.

"Let's go and eat."

Lu Yuan turned and walked into the elevator, with Chen Xiaomiao following closely behind.

Upon reaching the second-floor restaurant, the elevator doors opened, revealing rows of long dining tables laden with various foods.

Frying, boiling, cooking, hot and cold dishes, meat and vegetables, fruits and desserts, drinks and soups... Chen Xiaomiao was dazzled by the variety.

Those colorful little curls, the bubbling black sweet juice, the glistening red berries, and the big chunks of meat wrapped in golden, crispy skin and glistening with oil...

There are many things she's never even heard of, let alone eaten.

Lu Yuan explained, "This is called a buffet. You can take whatever you want to eat, as much as you can eat, and the cost will be included in the bath fee."

Chen Xiaomiao asked again, "Can I really eat whatever I want?"

"Don't worry, there's plenty!" Lu Yuan picked up a plate and handed it to Chen Xiaomiao: "Go ahead, pick what you like to eat."

Chen Xiaomiao, carrying a plate, shuffled over to the dining table, looking at this and smelling that.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan found a seat and sat down, and Chen Xiaomiao immediately followed him over.

On Chen Xiaomiao's plate were a variety of foods, a little bit of each, but only a small amount, just enough to try something new.

Lu Yuan asked curiously, "You're supposed to be a big eater, so why did you take so little? Are you worried about spending money?"

"No no no..."

Chen Xiaomiao chuckled and explained, "I can't actually eat that much. I just hadn't eaten for so long last night, I was really hungry."

"Really? Don't be so polite."

"real!"

Chen Xiaomiao quickly finished the little food on her plate and let out a satisfied, delicate burp.

She really has a tiny appetite...

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that Chen Xiaomiao was less than 1.6 meters tall and weighed barely 90 kilograms. It would be abnormal for her to eat too much.

I wolfed down my first two meals, partly because I was starving, and partly...

Chen Xiaomiao picked up a crumb of steamed cake and put it in her mouth without hesitation. Lu Yuan wanted to remind her, "Don't eat what's on the table," but he swallowed the words back.

This girl is afraid of wasting even a single grain of food.

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant and went to a separate rest area.

The room was dimly lit, with soothing music playing, and rows of large recliners were neatly arranged.

Lu Yuan found a relatively quiet corner, set his phone alarm, put it to his ear, and pointed to the recliner sofa next to him: "Lie down and rest for a while. I'll wake you up when it's time."

"middle."

Chen Xiaomiao obediently lay down and softly called out to him.

"Lu Yuan."

"Ok?"

"I embarrassed you again at the gate just now... I'm such a heartless ingrate!" More than feeling embarrassed, Chen Xiaomiao felt guilty.

Lu Yuan treated her so well, but she took his kindness for granted. It was really wrong of her.

"Alright, don't take it to heart."

Lu Yuan said gently but seriously, “But Xiao Miao, you have to understand that more than eighty years have passed, and the world has changed a lot. You can’t keep looking at things with the old ideas.”

Take 'selling people' for example, it's illegal now, and you'll get arrested by the police!

Chen Xiaomiao's face paled, and she subconsciously asked, "What happens after...after we catch them?"

"Shot!"

Lu Yuan wasn't sure about the specific sentencing, but to scare Chen Xiaomiao, he made a serious gesture of pressing a pistol to his temple and making a "bang" sound.

"If you encounter anything you don't understand or find strange in the future, don't try to figure it out on your own, and don't hide it or feel embarrassed. Just come and ask me directly."

This isn't a big deal today, but what if one day you get into serious trouble because you don't know the rules, like actually getting the police involved...?

Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Chen Xiaomiao kept nodding.

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do, and I promise I won't overthink things!"

As she spoke, the soft recliner, the warm and dry bathrobe, and the overwhelming fatigue that surged through her body after eating instantly overwhelmed Chen Xiaomiao.

My nerves, weary from the long journey, completely relaxed, and my eyelids felt like they were filled with lead. I drifted off to sleep with almost no struggle.

But Lu Yuan was wide awake.

What happened today made him realize that he needed to help Chen Xiaomiao adapt to modern society more quickly.

But what exactly should be done?
He didn't have a copy of "Anti-Time Traveler Adaptation Guide" either.

After much thought, Lu Yuan decided to ask the amazing AI.

He took out his phone, opened the AI ​​chat window, and entered his question.

If I found a girl from the Republican era, how would I help her adapt to modern society?

The AI ​​quickly provided a lengthy and well-organized answer of several thousand words.

From basic eating, living, hygiene habits, and language communication, to popularizing modern common sense, resolving identity issues, intervention for psychological trauma, and learning social skills... it covers all aspects.

Lu Yuan was engrossed in watching when Chen Xiaomiao, who was sleeping soundly beside him, suddenly turned over, tilted her head, and pressed it against his shoulder.

"Ugh...my steamed bun...don't steal my steamed bun!"

She mumbled indistinctly, her brows furrowing slightly.

"...Master...wait for me...I can't run anymore..."

Her ramblings continued intermittently, interspersed with a few sobbing gasps.

"...Master...I have food here...lots and lots of food..."

The light from the phone screen illuminated Chen Xiaomiao's sleeping face.

Her long eyelashes hung quietly, her nose was small, and her lips were slightly pouting, giving her an unguarded and innocent look.

Her long hair, half-dry and half-wet, clung to her smooth forehead and cheeks, making her alluring yet innocent face even more captivating.

Lu Yuan was mesmerized, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, and a strange restlessness began to rise in his heart again, until he saw the light red mark under Chen Xiaomiao's eyebrows once more.

He swiped his finger across the screen and retyped a line of text.

Is there really such a thing as a hidden allure sand...?
