Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 39 I'm sorry, Qian Renxue, I didn't want this to happen, but I couldn't control myself.

Xia Bai handed another book to Dugu Yan and said:

"This is another one; take it to Ye Lingling to read."

Dugu Yan nodded upon hearing Xia Bai's words.

She glanced at the calligraphy written by Xia Bai on the desk, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your handwriting is quite nice!"

Hearing Dugu Yan's praise, Xia Bai nodded modestly.

"It's alright, nothing special."

The more Dugu Yan looked at the calligraphy, the more she liked it. Seeing this, Xia Bai rolled it up and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Xia Bai said nonchalantly.

Someone helped me deliver a book, so what's wrong with giving them a painting in return?

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was overjoyed and quickly took it, placing it solemnly in her bosom.

"Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing." Xia Bai nodded.

It's just a piece of calligraphy! He has a whole bunch of them in his box.

Dugu Yan turned around, preparing to leave Xia Bai's room. However, just after stepping out the door, she seemed to remember something and suddenly turned back, asking a question curiously.

"What...do you think of Lingling?"

"Lingling? Ye Lingling?"

"Mm." Dugu Yan nodded.

"She seems like a quiet and gentle girl," Xia Bai said softly.

He didn't know much about Ye Lingling's personality either.

However, girls who love reading are generally more quiet and reserved.

Dugu Yan nodded in agreement after hearing Xia Bai's assessment.

"Don't let Lingling's quiet demeanor fool you; she's just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also..."

Suddenly, Dugu Yan launched into a long list of Ye Lingling's good qualities to Xia Bai.

Seeing that Dugu Yan's mouth was getting dry from talking, Xia Bai thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea and told her to speak slowly.

Dugu Yan praised Ye Lingling for about an hour before finally stopping.

Then he gave me a look that said, "Now you know how outstanding Ye Lingling is!"

"Um... it's getting late, you see..." Xia Bai yawned.

Xia Bai was so sleepy listening to Dugu Yan ramble on and on.

In summary, it all boils down to how incredibly beautiful and adorable Ye Lingling is.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan understood Xia Bai's meaning and quickly got up.

"Then I'll head back now!"

"Okay, bye-bye!" Xia Bai waved.

That guy finally left.

After saying goodbye to Dugu Yan, Xia Bai pulled up the covers and found that Qian Renxue had already fallen asleep sometime earlier.

A peaceful smile graced her fair face; she must have been having a wonderful dream.

Xia Bai felt somewhat helpless as he watched his nest being taken over by Qian Renxue.

"You slept in my bed, so where am I supposed to sleep?"

"But it's okay, my bed is pretty big, so it shouldn't be a big problem for two people to sleep in it."

Xia Bai sighed helplessly, took off his shoes, and crawled into bed.

You know what, after Qian Renxue warmed up the bed, it was actually much more comfortable to sleep in.

No sleep for one night.

On the other side.

"Yan Yan, why are you back so late tonight?" Dugu Bo asked with some concern when he saw that Dugu Yan had returned so late.

"Oh dear, Grandpa, aren't you asleep yet?" Dugu Yan asked, a little puzzled when she saw Dugu Bo sitting in the living room, still awake.

Grandpa should have been asleep by now!

"Oh dear, my precious granddaughter hasn't come back yet, how can I sleep!" Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with a doting expression.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I won't be in any danger!"

"I just went to a friend's house for a little while tonight! You don't need to worry about me every day!"

Dugu Yan gently hugged Dugu Bo and then ran back to her room.

"Grandpa, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed now."

Click...

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Gu Dubo smiled helplessly.

Back in the room.

Dugu Yan hurriedly took out the calligraphy and painting she had obtained from Xia Bai from her bosom, gently spread them out on the table, and examined them carefully, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

the next morning.

As dawn breaks, the eastern horizon gradually turns a pale white, then a faint blush of red slowly spreads across the sky, like a painter gently applying ink, announcing the start of a new day.

Qian Renxue slowly woke up from her bed and lazily stretched.

I had a really good night's sleep last night!

This was the most comfortable sleep she had had in all these years.

"Huh? How... how did I suddenly fall asleep on Young Master Xia's bed!"

Qian Renxue looked at the layout of the surrounding rooms and was startled.

She remembered that last night, after Young Master Xia carried her to bed, and then...

Qian Renxue blushed and quickly checked her body, finding nothing unusual.

Apart from some redness and swelling on his chest, the rest of his body was perfectly fine.

Qian Renxue got up, put on her shoes, pushed open the door, and went out.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as Qian Renxue stepped out of the room, she smelled the aroma of food in the air.

She followed the smell downstairs and arrived at the kitchen and living room area.

Xia Bai was wearing a black apron and making breakfast.

He heard a noise behind him, turned around and saw Qian Renxue looking at him.

"You...you're awake?"

Xia Bai looked at Qian Renxue with a somewhat awkward expression.

Last night, for some reason, his hands suddenly became restless, and he did some things against his conscience.

"Young Master Xia, you can cook?" Qian Renxue didn't notice Xia Bai's strange behavior. Instead, she walked up to Xia Bai with an admiring tone and praised him.

Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't seem to have noticed, Xia Bai finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Of course, besides practicing calligraphy, my second biggest hobby is cooking," Xia Bai replied softly.

"Wow, it smells so good! Can I have some?" Qian Renxue licked her red lips.

"Of course." Xia Bai handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Qian Renxue took the chopsticks and couldn't wait to taste Xia Bai's masterpiece.

"Delicious, absolutely delicious! Even better than the chefs in my Crown Prince's residence."

Qian Renxue praised it as she ate.

Hearing Qian Renxue's praise, Xia Bai became somewhat smug and said with a hint of pride:

"Of course, I've put a lot of effort into cooking!"

It's not just Xia Bai bragging, he's been cooking for 30 years.

It takes longer than some chefs who boast about cooking for a lifetime.

How could the food cooked like this not taste good?

After breakfast, Qian Renxue suggested that she hold Xia Bai a little longer before leaving.

However, out of guilt for last night, Xia Bai agreed to Qian Renxue's request.

Then, she hugged me for over an hour.

Xia Bai couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked her out.

After seeing Qian Renxue off, Xia Bai moved a chair and sat on the balcony.

I was basking in the sun while reading a book.
