The knock was very soft, followed by a gentle voice that seemed a little embarrassed: "Hey, you incompetent blondie, you must be up already, right? Can I come in?"

Xia Che's lips twitched.

Okay, he admits it.

Thinking that Chu Yuying would be embarrassed means I must be out of my mind.

"What does 'incompetent blondie' mean... Is this girl still holding a grudge about what happened last night? Does she really want me to mold her into a cream puff to fit her character?"

Xia Che let out a deep breath, and the lingering heartache in his heart vanished instantly.

He swore that the only person who could feel sorry for Chu Yuying after chatting with her was this one (thumbs up emoji).

Spitting out the toothpaste foam from his mouth with resentment, Xia Che dried himself with a towel and said irritably, "Coming!"

When Xia Che opened the door and saw Yu Ying's outfit for the day, his eyes lit up.

Wearing a beige knitted cardigan and light blue denim shorts, revealing two enviable slender legs, Chu Yuying looked alluring in her fair skin. She seemed to have gotten up early and even put on some light makeup. Her already stunningly beautiful features, which could make other women pale in comparison, were made even more gorgeous by the light makeup.

Xia Che, who was originally full of complaints, had all his grievances vanish in an instant at this moment.

Who would get angry at a beautiful girl?

Even if the other party has committed many evils, it can still be forgiven.

Yes, Xia Che is a typical example of someone whose small head controls his big head. Although he doesn't mess around, he really enjoys appreciating beauty.

"What are you looking at? Disgusting! Don't think I don't know what filthy things you're thinking. If you try to take advantage of me, I'll call the police! I'm warning you!"

Chu Yuying pouted, her beautiful eyes almost overflowing with disdain. But it was precisely this look of disdain, as if she were looking at trash, that made Xia Che shudder and almost lose control.

Damn, this little brat is such a perfect female!

What's the point of watching those female brats in anime? These real-life female brats, with their authentic femininity, are the real deal!

Xia Che wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and made room for him. "Come in, what do you want?"

"Of course I'm here to see you; otherwise, why would I be looking for you?"

Chu Yuying snorted, but she was a little puzzled. Judging from Xia Che's performance last night, this blond-haired guy was not the type to back down. Even though she had belittled him so much, why did he still look so indifferent?

Clearly, the naive Chu Yuying could never have imagined that there was such a strange fetish in the world, one who delighted not in the disdain of beautiful girls, but rather found it pleasurable...

Where did you get these clothes? You didn't seem to be wearing these last night, did you?

The bedroom had a small living room for guests, complete with a sofa and coffee table, befitting the name of a luxury community. Xia Che plopped down on the sofa, then suddenly realized something, his expression turning somewhat strange.

Chu Yuying's clothes were wet last night, weren't they...?

Why are you wearing a new outfit?

"Xiaoyue lent it to me. He's a good person. He went out early this morning to buy me clothes. Last night, thanks to him, I was able to take a shower in his room. Compared to him, you're just awful."

Chu Yuying's pretty face flushed slightly, clearly thinking of the embarrassment she had caused last night.

"Oh... so it's Brother Yue. Hmm, you said you took a shower in his room last night? Could it be..."

Xia Che touched his chin, his eyes suddenly darted around, and then he grinned mischievously.

What I had been unsure about before has now become a firm belief.

Judging from this girl's expression, she's praising Brother Yue in every word she says, and she clearly has a crush on him. If that's the case... maybe Brother Yue is Chu Yuying's true destined one?

Wouldn't that be perfect?

The condition for him to return to the present world is to let the female protagonists see the true face of the scumbag and then seal their hearts and lock away their love. But if he makes the female protagonists fall in love with someone else, would that also count as completing his mission?

Anyway, as long as she doesn't like Li Junyang, that scumbag, she can like whoever she wants; she doesn't care about Xia Che.

As for Yue-xiong, I don't know much about this roommate, but he seems to be a very shy and honest person. If he could really be paired up with that little devil Chu Yuying...

I'd love to!

Xia Che's eyes shone even brighter.

Leave!

We must persuade Chu Yuying to stay as our roommate!

With them living under the same roof and with my help in bringing them together, the probability of these two getting together is incredibly high!

"What are you thinking about now? Honestly, can't you wash the dirty thoughts out of your head?"

Seeing the wicked smile on Xia Che's face, Chu Yuying didn't even need to ask; this blond-haired rascal was definitely thinking of something else.

"Oh, you actually understand that? Does that mean your brain is full of lewd stuff too?"

Xia Che snapped out of his daze, his smile unchanged.

"You... I spit on you!"

Chu Yuying was speechless, turned her head away angrily, and crossed her arms: "I can't argue with you, I'm not going to discuss this with you."

"Alright, just tell me, what brings you here?"

Seeing the little girl's indignation, Xia Che just found it funny.

"I wanted to ask you... are you still looking for roommates? How much is the rent? Is it the same as Xiaoyue's?"

Seeing Xia Che bring up serious matters, Chu Yuying quickly sat up straight, her delicate white hands on her knees clenching tightly.

She had already asked Yu Shiyue last night, and while she was surprised by how cheap the rent was, she couldn't help but feel the urge to stay here.

After all, Lishi Quyuan is very close to the school and the city center. If you can live here, it will be much more convenient for both getting around and going to school than when you are at your relatives' house.

More importantly, she really wanted a room that belonged only to her.

"Well..."

Xia Che stroked his chin, deliberately feigning a troubled and thoughtful expression.

In truth, he was overjoyed. He never expected that Chu Yuying would offer to stay without him even having to ask.

But he knew the little devil well; he absolutely couldn't agree directly at this time, otherwise she would become suspicious and doubt his intentions.

To deal with creatures like female imps, fishing them out would be the best option...

"Um... I've already looked at that empty room. Although it's not as good as the one you're staying in, I think it's quite suitable. It's more than enough for me. I... I'll be frank with you, I'm also looking for a place to live recently. If the rent here is reasonable, then I'll reluctantly stay here with you."

Chu Yuying was a little embarrassed, and rubbed her tightly clenched fists against her knees.

In her opinion, Xia Che's place was a luxury community, and the rent was so low that it was probably an exception, and it was unlikely that such an exception would be made again.

After all, the housing prices here are very high. How could we possibly keep using a rent of 1,500 to do charity?
