Taking advantage of this moment, Xia Che secretly opened his eyes a crack, wanting to see what Yu Shiyue was up to.

From his angle, with his eyes squinted, he could only see Yu Shiyue's feet; a pair of small, white-stockinged feet appeared in his view.

Xia Che: !!!

White silk?

White silk!

Holy crap?

Xia Che nearly bit his tongue.

He had considered countless possibilities, but never this one.

The scales that had initially leaned towards Yu Shiyue being a normal person quietly and rapidly slid to the other end.

A damn grown man...

Why would you wear white stockings?!

Could it really be that kind of job?!

Xia Che's heart was trembling.

My two roommates, one is a little girl and the other is a gay man?

Could things get any worse...?

Why do I feel like my life has become a complete failure?

"Hmm...Found it."

"I've said enough, haven't you..."

Just as Xia Che was looking at her with such disbelief that he was about to throw off the covers and run away, hiding in Lotus Peak and never coming out again, a delicate and pretty face came into his view.

The two locked eyes.

The room was very quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

The two of them looked at each other.

Yu Shiyue's face turned red rapidly, until it reached the roots of her ears.

Xia Che was also surprised to find that Yu Shiyue in front of him was dressed in women's clothing, with no trace of a man in her at all, and seemed to be a woman.

Wait... a woman?

Xia Che was stunned for a moment, then looked again, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "You are... Yu Shiyue, right? Brother Yue's sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shiyue's blank stare flickered, her long eyelashes blinked, and then she nodded rapidly like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes...it's me."

"So it was you. I knew it. How could Brother Yue possibly... Oh well, never mind."

Xia Che finally relaxed completely. It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding.

He always said that...

How could Brother Yue possibly be that kind of person?

Since the other party is Brother Yue's sister, then everything makes sense.

Although it's unclear why Yu Shiyue would come to my room so late, and it seems like she comes every night, as long as she's not gay, everything is fine.

Xia Che can accept anything, but he absolutely cannot accept the idea of ​​forcing someone to have sex with him.

"What are you doing...?"

Xia Che turned on the desk lamp, and the soft light shone on Yu Shiyue's delicate face, making it appear even more gentle.

He glanced at the small medicine box in Yu Shiyue's hand, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you been living here all this time?"

"Um, I... I'm on vacation, so I came to visit my brother."

Yu Shiyue's mind worked quickly. Since Xia Che had already convinced himself, she just needed to go along with it.

Not only was Xia Che embarrassed, but she was embarrassed too.

She never imagined that her landlord, who always slept like a log, would suddenly wake up tonight.

Sneaking into the room to use Xia Che as a model for his artwork... that's a bit too risky.

"I noticed you were injured, so I went to get the first-aid kit to treat your wound."

Yu Shiyue blushed as she spoke. She quickly got into character, after all, practice makes perfect. Apart from Chu Yuying, no one knew that she was the Yue-xiong that Xia Che was talking about: "If the wound is not treated properly, it will leave a scar."

"Oh, I see. That's thoughtful of you. So, you used to do that every night..."

Xia Che's expression was somewhat strange.

While it's not the worst-case scenario—the person sneaking into my room every night isn't a man—it's still a beautiful girl sneaking into my room every night…

Isn't this kind of thing a bit hard to accept?

After all, she's my friend's sister!

Does she really believe she's a good person?

"this……"

Yu Shiyue choked for a moment, and the flushed face that had just subsided returned. She lowered her head, and even without touching her face, she knew it must be burning hot.

Dead, dead, dead...

Even if I switched my identity to that of my sister in time, it would be hard to explain my motives in the current situation.

We're doomed...

"Um?"

Xia Che crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, clearly not giving up until he got an answer.

Men are vulnerable too!

He runs to his room every night. If word gets out, how will he ever be able to face anyone again?

He was a grown man, and if he were defiled by a beautiful girl, how could he ever marry someone else?

The consequences could be very serious!

"Okay, I confess, I admit it."

Yu Shiyue sighed. If she didn't give Xia Che an answer today, it seemed she wouldn't even be able to leave this room. But even if she confessed, it wouldn't all be the truth.

"I would like to hear the details."

Xia Che raised his head slightly.

Yu Shiyue thought for a moment, concealed part of the truth, and then said, "My brother likes to paint. He takes on manuscripts every day to earn money, so it's a kind of freelance job... And I'm really tempted to become a painter like my brother. If things go well, I can even do it as a side job in the future."

"But when I look at the plaster mannequins, I find them too frightening; they don't look like real people at all, and I can't draw them..."

"So every night I would run into your room, and after you fell asleep, I would..."

Yu Shiyue lowered her head, extended one finger from each hand, and guiltily checked them, saying, "I'll use you as a model, and copy your face..."

"puff!"

Xia Che almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He finally understood why he had been having nightmares lately. Even though his sleep quality was good, he always felt like he had been seen naked when he woke up every morning.

This strange feeling affected my sleep; it felt like I hadn't slept at all, and I still needed to catch up on sleep in class the next day.

Xia Che initially thought it was because he was too tired lately, but there was another reason behind it.

I'm being stared at every night...

Can you please stop having nightmares?

"I'm so sorry, I apologize! I really had no other choice. I don't know any other men, and after counting them all, you were the only one left..."

Yu Shiyue stuck out her tongue, then lay face down on the bed, banging her head on the floor repeatedly in an attempt to get Xia Che's forgiveness: "I promise! I haven't done anything strange except using you as a model!"

"Modeling isn't just about putting on makeup..."

Xia Che wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clutching his chest and feeling a tightness in his chest: "Sis, tell me the truth, besides your face... what other parts did you draw?"

"Well……"

Yu Shiyue started fiddling with her fingers again.

"explain!"

“Tell me… I’ll tell you! And the abs, thighs, calves, and hands…”

Seeing that Xia Che was about to kill someone, Yu Shiyue quickly confessed, then weakly added, "And... the pajama bottoms you were wearing."
