……

Inside the RV bathroom.

A misty haze filled the air.

Xu Qing was soaking in the large jacuzzi, the warm water stimulating the stiff muscles in her back.

Comfortable.

so comfy.

He slept soundly in the basement last night, and his back ached so much that he felt cold all over.

This soak makes me feel like my soul has returned.

Xu Qing closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

In my mind, that cold, mechanical voice echoed.

【Ding--】

[The host's physical condition has improved, and the mental stress level has decreased by 5%.]

Current mental state: Mild depression (showing signs of improvement).

[It is recommended that the host enjoy life more; appropriate material enjoyment can help alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder.]

Xu Qing scoffed inwardly.

He reached out and took a bottle of red wine from the shelf next to him.

It was also prepared by Lao Zhang.

Although he doesn't drink much, the atmosphere was just right, and it would be a shame not to have a drink in the bathtub.

Just then.

The bathroom door lock suddenly clicked.

"Click".

The sound was very soft.

But it sounded especially clear in the bathroom where only the sound of running water could be heard.

Xu Qing suddenly opened her eyes.

He clearly locked the door when he came in.

Unless someone outside has the key.

or……

The door was pushed open a crack.

A head popped in.

Wearing an exaggerated black wide-brimmed hat and a black mask covering his face, only a pair of shifty eyes were visible.

He was glancing around randomly inside.

Xu Qing: "..."

He knew who it was without even looking.

Apart from that lawless Miss Luo, no one dared to barge in at this time.

"It seems the Luo family's security isn't very good either."

Xu Qing leaned against the edge of the bathtub, swirling the wine glass in her hand, her tone cool.

"Can't even defend against a female hooligan."

The figure at the door froze.

Then he simply stopped pretending and walked in openly.

Luo Qianyu took off her mask, revealing a rosy face.

I don't know if it was because the car was too warm, or because I got caught doing something wrong.

"Who's the thug?"

Luo Qianyu stood with her hands on her hips, completely unconcerned.

"This car belongs to my family, I picked out this bathtub, and even the shower gel you use was bought by me."

"I came in to inspect my own property and see if my son-in-law is used to it. How can that be called being a hooligan?"

She spoke with conviction, but her eyes seemed somewhat unfocused.

His gaze swept over Xu Qinglu's collarbone and shoulders above the water, then quickly shifted away, pretending to look at the tiles on the wall.

Xu Qing looked at her with a half-smile.

"Inspection?"

"Is the Empress Dowager satisfied with the current situation?"

"Should I stand up and show you from all angles?"

As she spoke, Xu Qing made a move to get up.

The water splashed loudly.

"Ah! Don't move!"

Luo Qianyu screamed, covered her eyes with her hands, and turned her back.

"Xu Qing, you shameless!"

"You pervert! You exhibitionist!"

I have a sty!

Xu Qing sat back down and took a sip of red wine.

"Alright, stop pretending."

"If you want to see it, just say so."

Luo Qianyu's fingers were indeed spread wide apart, and her peach blossom eyes were looking at him through the gaps between her fingers.

It's not embarrassing to be exposed.

She lowered her hand, turned around, her face flushed even more, but her lips remained stubborn.

"Who cares about you?"

"He's so skinny, like a skeleton, with no muscle at all."

"I just came to see if you were dead in the bathtub."

She walked to the bathtub, squatted down, and poked Xu Qing's shoulder.

The touch from my fingertips was warm and solid.

She wasn't as thin as she claimed.

Although Xu Qing had a tough year, his life as a wanderer actually made him stronger.

The lines are smooth, without an ounce of excess fat.

Luo Qianyu's fingers lingered on his shoulder for two seconds before she withdrew them as if she had been burned.

"Is the water temperature alright?"

Her voice softened, losing its previous arrogance.

"good."

Xu Qing looked at her.

"How did you get in? Old Zhang didn't stop you?"

"Old Zhang dares to stop me?"

Luo Qianyu snorted, her face full of pride.

"Besides, I told him I came to bring you a change of clothes."

She pointed to a bag on the sink.

"Your hoodie is all spoiled; it smells like braised pork."

"Throw it away immediately."

"These are the new clothes I picked out for you; you have to wear them."

Xu Qing glanced at the bag.

Even without looking at the logo, I know it's definitely one of those ridiculously expensive haute couture items.

He sighed.

"Luo Qianyu".

"Um?"

"Do you know that you can't just go into a man's bathroom?"

"Especially in enclosed spaces like this."

Xu Qing put down his wine glass, leaned forward, and got closer to Luo Qianyu.

Water droplets dripped from his hair and landed on Luo Qianyu's hand.

It carried an aura of danger.

Luo Qianyu subconsciously shrank back, her heart starting to race.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Let me tell you, there are bodyguards outside."

"If you dare to do anything inappropriate, I'll scream for sex."

Xu Qing looked at her fierce but cowardly appearance and suddenly laughed.

He reached out and brushed Luo Qianyu's nose with his damp hand.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm telling you to get out."

"I need to get dressed."

Or perhaps...

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with amusement.

"You want to stay and help me get dressed?"

Luo Qianyu's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

She stood up abruptly, almost stepping on her own skirt.

"Who wants to help you get dressed!"

"You're just being delusional!"

"abnormal!"

After uttering those three curses, she turned and ran.

He ran to the door, then stopped and turned back to glare fiercely at Xu Qing.

"Hurry up and wash!"

"Wash it clean!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Xu Qing looked at the closed door and touched his nose.

This girl.

It runs faster than a rabbit.

but……

Xu Qing looked down at her reflection in the water.

His eyes, which were usually gloomy, now held a hint of a smile.

This feeling of being managed like a housekeeper...

It doesn't seem bad.

......

Jiang Yue didn't just appear out of nowhere to steal Xu Qing's love; she was just explaining Xu Qing's past, why he seemed like a wooden doll when he first appeared, and why he was so easily convinced by Sister Hong's lies.

Xu Qing wasn't a time traveler; he was a local. It's just that the system he used consisted of songs brought to him by someone from next door.
