“Qi~Qing-Xue, I’m going to take a shower, so you can do it yourself.”

The scent of the shower gel on Mu Qing-Xue’s body left her dazed and suddenly weak at the knees. You-You grabbed the pajamas on the table and carefully stood up then sidestepped  Mu Qing-Xue, and ran into the bathroom.

She practically fled.

She even forgot to pause the program and turn off her phone.

“Tsk, she can’t even stand this.”

With no one to tease, Mu Qing-Xue naturally reverted back to her aloof temperament. If You-You opened the bathroom door at that moment, she would see an expressionless Mu Qing-Xue standing in the middle of the room. So expressionless; to the point that she resembled a dead person.

Especially that pair of lifeless eyes, it looked extremely spine-chilling.

In the end, a splash sound from the bathroom brought Mu Qing-Xue back to her senses.

She lowered her eyes to look at the set of pajamas she was wearing and then looked at the others in the wardrobe, instantly understanding that this set was extremely valuable. After a long while, she sighed lightly: “Looks like I need to work harder. Otherwise I won’t be able to afford this precious little flower.”

‘Xixi, what should I do? I dare not go out.’

After taking a shower, she stood in front of the mirror for a long time. You-You’s eyes were shining, and her cheeks were hot and flushed.

‘I’ve never fallen in love before, and I’m not ready to fall in love yet. Xixi, I’m so scared. Mu Qing-Xue that rogue, what if she changes heart?’

Come to think of it, Mu Qing-Xue will fall in love with the reborn Qu Lan-Qin.

You-You felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Sly, villainous, slag women; she doesn’t like!

 【Then host, don’t fall in love with Mu Qing-Xue. After all, the task just needs Mu Qing-Xue to fall in love with you.】

‘Huh? This is also possible?’

【Yes ah.】

‘Ke ke’

With pursed lips and a troubled expression, You-You asked: “But if I do this, won’t I become a deceptive villainess myself?”

【No. Host is facing a task target who could change or betray you at any time, so doing this is also a way to protect yourself.】

Looking at the rising blackening value of the task target, for the sake of completing the task smoothly, Xixi brainwashed You-You to the ‘White Lotus’ route . 

After all, someone with such a high blackened value is certainly subject to spontaneous changes. According to the host’s temperament, it’s best not to play around with this type of person.

Therefore, restraining a bit of sincerity, is good for personal protection.

You-You: …..

‘You’re so reasonable. Xixi, you’re so amazing!’

【It is Xixi’s honor to relieve the host’s worries.】

‘Thank You Xixi.’

After adjusting her mood, You-You opened the bathroom door and cautiously walked out.

Seeing that Mu Qing-Xue, who made her a flustered and bumbling mess, was already quietly lying down on the big, pink and red bed, You-You let out a sigh of relief, and then gently switched off her phone. She then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Sleeping on the edge of the bed, You-You tentatively called out to Mu Qing-Xue, and felt relieved that there was no answer.

Relaxed, You-You fell into a deep sleep after switching off the bedside lamp.

But just then, the person who she’d taken to be asleep opened their eyes. They didn’t even look sleepy at all, and appeared ominous in the dark.

    …

Time passed, and day dawned.

The next day, You-You didn’t wake up till noon.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that something was wrong.

Her body was exhausted, and faintly sore, and her legs felt like lead. It was reminiscent of the times when Bai Qu would make her run 3 kilometers  in the mornings. The next day, she would always feel like this.

“You’re awake?”

Coming inside from the balcony, Mu Qing Xue’s pale complexion only improved once she set eyes on the little lady on the bed.

With ambiguous eyes, staring straight at the girl’s bare calf, Mu Qing-Xue squinted with a satisfied expression.
