This sounds very much like a confession at first glance.

Ruan Tian's heart pounded wildly. She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at the expression on You Er's face.

He remained the same as before; even though he said something slightly ambiguous, his expression was still calm, making it impossible to tell that he was any different.

Ruan Tian scratched her head a little embarrassedly. Even though she really wanted to refuse Yu Er, she was eventually picked up by him due to his domineering attitude.

Yu'er held Ruan Tian in his arms, not caring at all about the mud on her body, and led her into the bathroom.

The bathroom walls were covered in steam, and a damp smell filled the air. Yu'er's magnetic voice rang in Ruan Tian's ear:

"This is hot spring water, which can help relieve fatigue."

Hot spring water?

When Ruan Tian was still an NPC, she had never experienced what it felt like to soak in a hot spring, and she was quite happy.

Yu'er placed Ruan Tian next to the bathtub, saying, "I've prepared all your change of clothes, bath supplies, and so on."

He raised his hand and pointed to the shelf next to the bathtub. "Everything is here. Just take whatever you want."

Before Ruan Tian could even say thank you, You Er turned and left, gently closing the bathroom door so Ruan Tian could relax and soak in the bath.

She had no choice but to turn around and gently test the water temperature with her finger, tempted by the comfortable temperature.

Soon, Ruan Tian took off all her clothes and soaked in the bathtub, enjoying the baptism of the hot spring water.

"Yure is really amazing. Of all the people she's been trying to win over, she's the one who's having the most fun."

Indeed, as Ruan Tian said, Yu Er is the safest and most comfortable person among all the targets.

She pondered what to do next, gradually piecing together everything that had happened that day.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't notice anything wrong, but now that I think about it, the shapes of those crystal nuclei were really strange."

Ruan Tian had seen second-order crystal cores before, but the second-order crystal cores in that pile of plants seemed to be species that did not exist in this world at all, with incomprehensible symbols flowing inside them.

"These symbols look very similar to code on the internet."

This is what puzzled Ruan Tian. Combined with the system's strange reaction earlier, some bold ideas gradually emerged in Ruan Tian's mind.

"Could it be... that this crystal core shouldn't have been discovered by me yet, but for some reason, I still accidentally saw it, so it's a bug?"

Ruan Tian's brows furrowed slightly as she looked down at the spring water in the bathtub, her mind in turmoil.

The system disappeared for a period of time because it said something it shouldn't have said, as if it had been forcibly brainwashed.

What about yourself?

Will she also experience any negative consequences from acquiring something that doesn't currently belong to her?

Just thinking about it made Ruan Tian's breath catch in her throat. She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, but whatever she did, she decided to make the best of it.

"As I said before, things will work themselves out. If something really happens, I'll think of a solution."

Ruan Tian put the matter to herself for the time being and began to take a serious bath. She was determined not to miss this rare opportunity to enjoy herself!

Half an hour later, Ruan Tian changed into the clothes Yu'er had given her. When she looked in the mirror, she fell into a brief silence.

This... isn't this dress a little too pink and girly?

Ruan Tian wondered if Yu'er had some misunderstanding about her; she really didn't like pink that much!

But the clothes that Yu'er prepared for Ruan Tian were pink, and an incredibly delicate pink that made her look like she was surrounded by bubbles.

Ruan Tian closed her eyes, then mustered her courage and opened them again to look at herself in the mirror.

Before she could even take two glances, Ruan Tian couldn't take it anymore. She closed her eyes again, then raised her hand to cover her cheeks, looking quite embarrassed!

This is not the person she knows at all!

Yu'er, who was outside the door, heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, but Ruan Tian did not come out for a long time. She stood up with some concern, went to the bathroom door and knocked.

"What's wrong, Ruan Tian? Is the size of the clothes wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian quickly said, "No! The clothes fit perfectly, it's just the color..."

She hesitated for a moment before opening the bathroom door, and when Yu'er saw clearly what Ruan Tian was wearing, her eyes widened in surprise.

"This dress suits you very well, it looks great on you."

Ruan Tian silently covered her cheeks. "Really?"

“Really,” Yu’er stared at Ruan Tian without blinking, clearly quite satisfied with the dress, and no matter how you looked at it, it suited Ruan Tian perfectly.

The pink he chose was a very delicate shade, not at all gaudy, but rather it complemented Ruan Tian's skin tone perfectly.

Ruan Tian's skin is naturally very fair, which complements the pink color perfectly. It doesn't look bad at all; on the contrary, it's very pleasing to the eye.

Ruan Tian was still a little embarrassed. She whispered, "Does this outfit really look good on me?"

Yu Ernan's emotions were somewhat revealed as she nodded and said, "It really looks good, and it suits you very well."

Hearing this, Ruan Tian finally felt relieved. She smiled and nodded, saying:

"That's good."

Seeing that Ruan Tian wasn't wearing shoes, Yu Er walked over to her, bent down slightly, picked her up, and carried her towards the sofa.

The soiled carpet on the floor has been cleaned up and looks very tidy.

And this blanket looks even more expensive!

Yu'er led Ruan Tian to sit on the sofa. Ruan Tian wanted to do it herself, but by the time she realized it, she had already snuggled into Yu'er's arms.

Yul's body temperature was very cold; after all, he was an artificial robot, and his body temperature was very low.

She couldn't help but shift her body and whispered, "I feel like there's something ambiguous between us."

“You’re overthinking it,” Yu’er said, taking out the warm milk she had prepared beforehand and gently placing it in Ruan Tian’s palm.

"It has honey in it, so it's very sweet. Drinking some will make you feel much better."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian obediently held the warm milk in her hands. Although Yu Er's tone was very calm, Ruan Tian could tell that he definitely wouldn't put her down.

With no other option, Ruan Tian could only stay in Yu Er's arms and quietly drink her milk.

Neither of them spoke, yet the atmosphere between them felt relaxed rather than oppressive.

Until Yu'er suddenly grabbed a strand of Ruan Tian's still damp hair and asked in a flat tone that was hard to decipher:

"Ruan Tian, ​​who was that person who came back with you? You two seem to have a very close relationship."

Ruan Tian paused in her milk-drinking motion, then blinked a little guiltily.

The relaxed atmosphere between the two of them vanished without a trace.
