Thank you.

Yu Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had changed her opinion of Xia Che somewhat, his appearance was still a bit intimidating. Yu Shiyue decided it was best to keep it a secret for the time being until she was fully familiar with him.

"I should have known better than to sign the contract so impulsively. Now I don't have enough money to buy another house, so I can't even do it if I wanted to. Sigh..."

Although sharing an apartment with Huang Mao was dangerous, the rent was really cheap. It was a high-end apartment in a neighborhood that cost 1,500 yuan a month, close to the subway and schools, and the old town area nearby was also in the center of Jiang City. Yu Shiyue really couldn't find another place like this at this price and with these amenities.

"oioi, you've helped me a lot, I should be the one thanking you."

Chu Yuying opened the door a crack, then peeked out with a giggle: "Could you please get me a bath towel, Brother Xiaoyue?"

Her long, wet white hair slid down and clung to her fair and defined collarbone. A mist seemed to rise from Chu Yuying's eyes, and through her red pupils, she was so beautiful that she was almost bewitching.

Despite being a beautiful woman herself, Yu Shiyue was equally confident in her looks. Yet, at this moment, in front of Chu Yuying, she strangely felt a sense of inferiority.

This girl is really pretty.

"Brother Xiaoyue?"

"Ah... okay, no problem."

Yu Shiyue seemed to wake from a dream, her earlobes turning slightly red, as if someone had exposed her thoughts. She hurriedly turned around to find a bath towel.

Distracted like this, Yu Shiyue immediately forgot about her intention to ask Chu Yuying what had happened.

My mind felt completely blank, as if I had forgotten something very important.

"This older sister is actually quite cute..."

Chu Yuying looked at it thoughtfully, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Who wouldn't like a beautiful older sister like Yu Shiyue, who is gentle, kind, and a little clumsy?

...

Xia Che took a refreshing shower, and the cool breeze that blew in when he opened the door made him feel invigorated.

"Whew...that feels so good!"

Xia Che took a towel, dried his still-damp hair, and muttered, "If it weren't for bringing that little brat back, and having another woman in the house, I would have come out naked. Standing naked on the balcony after a shower and letting the breeze blow on you is the most pleasant thing..."

As for Brother Yue?

Brother Yue is fine. He's just a little shy. I believe that as a fellow man, he can understand my little quirk.

"Hmm, you're awake?"

Xia Che had just taken a can of drink out of the refrigerator when he turned around and saw Chu Yuying, who was wearing pajamas, drying her hair with a towel, and staring at him with a deep gaze.

Although I felt a little embarrassed for scaring her like that, it was strange that Li Junyang didn't show up in the old town tonight. Could it be that my presence had unintentionally changed the plot?

Xia Che sipped his drink, lost in thought, and very naturally sat down next to Chu Yuying, who looked displeased.

Noticing that Xia Che had sat down, Chu Yuying stiffened abruptly and subtly moved to the side.

"Oh, it's all clean now?"

Xia Che glanced at Chu Yuying's white, tender thighs, which were exposed by her pajamas and shorts, and couldn't help but smile mischievously, making a double entendre.

"How dare you say that?!"

Chu Yuying instantly bristled, grabbing a nearby cushion and trying to throw it at him. "And how can you sit here so naturally? Get away from me, you perverted blondie!"

"puff!"

Xia Che almost choked to death on his drink. "Perverted blond hair?" What kind of nickname is that?

"If I were really a pervert, do you think you'd still be sitting here obediently talking to me right now?"

Xia Che rolled his eyes. The character design in the original work was really accurate. Chu Yuying was a little devil. When it was safe, she would jump around like crazy and yell like a nobody. But when she encountered danger, she would cower into a ball and let herself be pinched and rubbed without daring to fight back.

The Chosen Cream Puff Body...

"What...what exactly do you want?"

Chu Yuying glanced warily at the guest room. She had to coax Yu Shiyue to go to sleep and not come along.

My identity as a psychic must never be exposed. One person who knows my background is enough; there absolutely cannot be another one.

"No, I'm not a lolicon."

Xia Che honestly shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuying was taken aback. What did this nonsensical answer mean?

But after a few moments of thought, when she finally realized what she meant, her fair cheeks flushed instantly. "Go to hell! Go to hell! You perverted blond guy!"

"Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Xia Che felt that he was definitely not a lolicon; he preferred older women.

"I mean... what are your plans for the future?"

Chu Yuying was impressed by Xia Che's thought process. When dealing with someone with such an unconventional way of thinking, you have to say what you mean and never hint at anything, otherwise they will definitely make some strange connections. "You already know my background. I am not some kind of super high school level psychic. I created this persona to make money."

"I know you must have another purpose in bringing me back. You... just tell me, as long as you don't go too far, I will do whatever you say."

Chu Yuying turned her head away, her delicate face flushed crimson, almost dripping with blood, and she clenched her teeth tightly.

Xia Che has indeed found her weakness. If he uses this as leverage, even if the demands are a bit excessive, she would probably agree.

But what kind of demands could this blond guy possibly make? He'd definitely want me to do something inappropriate for children!

Chu Yuying clenched her fists, feeling extremely frustrated, but the situation was beyond her control, and she couldn't come up with a good solution even after thinking for a long time.

Seeing his shameless attitude, he didn't seem to realize that scaring her unconscious was a big deal. Thinking about this, Chu Yuying became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been following me? How do you even know that I went to explore the old campus? What exactly do you want?"

Noticing that the girl had changed her questioning style and was no longer asking him "what's wrong?", Xia Che couldn't help but smile.

How could Chu Yuying possibly have imagined that she had already read the original work beforehand?

Not only would he not know where she went, but he also knew everything about Chu Yuying's background. Xia Che understood Chu Yuying's predicament, so he never even considered exposing her identity as a psychic.

Chu Yuying's worries were unnecessary from the very beginning.

But wouldn't it be a waste not to play with and tease such an adorable little devil?

"First of all, I didn't follow you. I went to the old campus because of my personal matters, which I can't tell you."

"Secondly, you've clearly seen plenty of eerie scenes, yet you still fainted from fright. Should I say you were too careless, or... that the renowned Ultimate Psychic Master, you're actually more timid than a mouse?"
