"Yes, I'll go and help then. The Taoist Association is going all out these days. Not only have all its members come out, but even those masters who have been living in seclusion and detached from worldly affairs have recently taken action."

"So?" I raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.

Wu Shi looked at me blankly, and replied with a puzzled expression, "Huh? What do you mean, 'so'?"

"What I mean is, you could have told me these things tomorrow, why did you have to barge into my room in the middle of the night?" I said with a slight smile, my tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shi blushed deeply, clearly caught off guard by my unexpected question.

"I...I was just worried you'd have trouble sleeping, so I came to keep you company," Wu Shi stammered as he explained.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle softly, my eyes flickering as if I didn't quite believe him, so I pressed on, "Really?"

Then, I moved my face closer to Wu Shi, almost touching his face, and said coquettishly, "Don't you, you big pervert, have any other thoughts or intentions? For example, do you want to do something to me..."

Wu Shi's face turned bright red, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead. His body involuntarily shrank back, and his head tilted back uncontrollably.

"What? You're so afraid of me!" I said, a slight smile playing on my lips as I looked at him.

"Is this the senior brother who can always remain calm and composed?" I continued to tease, a hint of mockery flashing in my eyes.

Seeing Wu Shi's disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but find it amusing and wanted to tease him a little more.

After all, I've been feeling quite tense lately, so this is a good opportunity to find some fun and relax.

Besides, what is there to fear when facing one's own man? They're all family, after all.

Wu Shi swallowed hard, his finger trembling as he pointed at me, stammering, "Xiao...Xiao Xi, please don't force me to do anything to you..."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, my voice carrying a hint of allure and provocation: "Oh? So what exactly do you intend to do to me?"

"You don't mean you want to kiss me, do you? Or perhaps..." I paused deliberately, revealing a meaningful smile.

Wu Shi trembled with fright, hurriedly stood up from his chair, and turned to leave in a panic, saying as he went, "Fine, fine, I give up! It's getting late, go and get some rest!"

Watching his hurried departure, I couldn't help but let out a crisp laugh.

"Hahaha, look at how cowardly you are!" I looked at Wu Shi mockingly and pointed towards the door.

"Make sure you close the door properly, honey. Goodnight."

Wu Shi's face turned even redder. He fled in panic, closed the door, and returned to his own room.

I covered my mouth and chuckled. I didn't expect that after all this time, he would still be so shy, even though he was so bold in the car before.

After all that commotion, I felt much better, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, I got up early to wash and get ready.

After I got dressed, Wu Shi drove me to his home in Xixi.

Traffic was heavy during the morning rush hour, and the traffic jam lasted for a long time. However, I didn't have anything important to do today, so the time spent in traffic jams wouldn't make a difference.

They drove the car to the parking space of Xixi's villa and got out of the car together.

After pressing the doorbell, Xixi's voice came from inside the house shortly after: "Coming!"

With a click, Xixi opened the door.

Xixi was wearing dinosaur pajamas and looked very cute.

"Xiao Xi, come inside quickly," she said, pulling my arm and dragging me into the house.

"Hey, you guys, don't forget to close the door!"

I glanced back at Wu Shi and couldn't help but chuckle to myself, "I'll go in first."

Wu Shi was speechless. He changed his shoes, closed the villa door, and went into the room with Wu Shi.

Many of the furnishings in the room have been replaced with new ones, since a fight had taken place there before and many things were damaged.

Jiang Lu probably heard the noise and came out of the bedroom: "Xiao Xi, you're here."

Jiang Lu has a different personality from Xi Xi; she is a more intellectual older sister and is more mature and steady in her actions.

I nodded and politely replied, "Yeah, there was a bit of traffic on the way, which is why I'm still here."

"It's alright. I heard from Xixi that you could come, so I invited our family's chef over. We have a good selection of ingredients. What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef prepare it."

I chuckled twice: "No need for that. I happen to be free these days, so I thought I'd come over and keep Xixi company."

"Sister Jiang Lu, are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?"

"After settling you in the Taoist temple last time, I haven't had time to meet you. I was thinking of asking if you're alright now."

Jiang Lu walked over to the sofa and sat down, handing me and Wu Shi two glasses of water:

"I'm fine now. It's really unbelievable. I really have to thank you. Otherwise, I don't know if I would have hurt Xixi."

I sighed and turned to look at Xixi:

"Actually, this matter is mainly my fault. That evil Taoist was after me, but he was afraid of my master, so he didn't dare to attack me openly. Instead, he set a trap to lure me here when my master and mistress went to the capital."

"I still want to apologize to Sister Jiang Lu. I'm very sorry for dragging you into this."

Jiang Lu stood up, supporting herself on her knees, and gave a wry smile: "How can you blame yourself? The idea that good people are guilty is illogical no matter how you look at it."
