Chapter 146 What about mine?

On the way back to the villa, Wen Qing walked at the very end of the group with her head down.

No one in the group spoke. Even He Zhuo, who was usually the most talkative, was unusually quiet, only occasionally glancing at her out of the corner of his eye before quickly looking away.

As the candlelight flickered on in the villa, the boys grabbed Lu Beiye and fled upstairs as if they were escaping.

Four girls sat around the sofa in the living room, the flickering firelight casting shadows on their faces.

Lu Nange casually teased Gu Wan, and Gu Wan teased Luo Xingyou in return.

The candlelight crackled intermittently, casting halos around their eyes and brows, yet it could not dispel the oppressive silence.

Gu Wan sighed inwardly and asked, "Sister Wen Qing, how did that scumbag manage to win you over?"

Luo Xingyou: "Wanwan."

Wen Qing's fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the sofa, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the flickering candle flame.

"We were classmates in college... On the day we registered, he was wearing a white shirt and said that we were in the same major and wanted to exchange contact information."

Later, he confessed his feelings to me. He said that the day he saw me standing under the ginkgo tree with my suitcase, the falling leaves swirling down onto my shoulders... He said he fell in love with me at first sight, saying that love arose without warning and deepened instantly...

Wen Qing sighed, and when she looked up, she bumped into Lu Nange and Gu Wan. At the same time, she clutched the fabric of her clothes at her chest, and her two little faces scrunched up like sour lemons.

"Nan Nan, Wan Wan, where do you feel unwell?" A healing ability instantly lit up in his palm.

"Sis, turn off your powers." Lu Nange grabbed her wrist, exchanged a glance with Gu Wan, and the two of them suddenly gagged in unison: "We're fine, it's just that..."

"It's a bit disgusting." The two said in unison, their disgusted tones perfectly overlapping.

Lu Nange: "It sounds nice to say it's love at first sight, but to put it bluntly, that scumbag is just lustful. Sister, he likes your looks and wants your body."

Gu Wan: "That's right, what do you mean by love at first sight? Pshaw, we haven't even met, what love could there be? Today you're in love, tomorrow you could be in love with someone else. 'Love arises without knowing why, deep affection'—it's so cheesy, incredibly cheesy..."

Luo Xingyou: "Sis, you were just too young back then. If you had seen more men, you wouldn't have fallen for this."

Zhizhi and Gangzi nodded frantically to each other.

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, with Gangzi making a "ga" sound and Zhizhi making a "ji" sound.

They dragged Wen Qing's dead ex-husband out and whipped his corpse, the sound wave carrying murderous intent rushing straight to the second floor.

The boys upstairs heard every word clearly, and they all shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

He Zhuo summarized in a low voice: "Love at first sight is the same as lust at first sight, and falling in love again is the same as not giving up on one's desires—" He gave a thumbs up: "So true!"

Chi Yanzhou: [This isn't just whipping a corpse; it's like remotely scanning his ID number.]

......

When Lu Nange went out tonight, she was wearing the silver thermostatic suit that the system had rewarded her with.

Since the smart home assistant was launched, cleaning clothes is no longer a problem—simply put the clothes back in the space, and they'll look brand new in the next second.

The temperature-regulating clothing is soft and lightweight.

She was wearing trousers and a long-sleeved shirt. The perceived temperature outside had been consistently around 26°C, which was considered ideal.

After Wen Qing calmed down, she took advantage of the break when everyone was taking turns showering.

Lu Nange asked Youyou in her mind: ["Youyou, can I replace the thermostatic clothing with other rewards?"]

A cheerful electronic voice echoed in my mind: [Nan Nan, the rewards are all randomly dropped~ Doing more tasks will bring surprises!]

Lu Nange ground her molars: [Then tell me what the mission entails!]

'Youyou': [Hehe, Nannan, the triggering of tasks is also random~]

Lu Nange: [...Could you at least exchange this thermostatic clothing for the correct size?]

'Youyou': [That's great.]

Holding the thermostatic clothing that had been adjusted to the correct size, Lu Nange called out to Lu Beiye in the corridor as he was about to take a shower.

"Wear this inside," she said, tugging at her shirt collar. "Just wear it as usual on the outside."

The child took the clothes, wondering to himself: "[Won't I get heatstroke wearing long sleeves, long pants, and an undershirt?]"

He glanced at his sister's outfit: "Sibling outfits?"

"Yeah, siblings dressed up."

The child happily took the clothes, and after taking a bath and changing, his eyes lit up instantly—he had thought it would be unbearably hot, but unexpectedly it felt as comfortable as being enveloped in a spring breeze.

He jumped up and down excitedly, but his clothes remained cool and breathable.

Lu Nange leaned against the end of the corridor, waiting for Lu Beiye to come out, and then asked, "How did it go?"

Lu Beiye: "It feels so good!"

The siblings coming downstairs bumped into Lu Xici.

The man raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing the two wearing matching blue striped shirts, and deliberately tugged at his own short-sleeved shirt: "Outfits for siblings? Where's mine?"
