Xi Qingxu didn't return until almost 11 o'clock, when Lu Chuqing was still live-streaming a sleep aid session.

Hearing a slight noise outside the door, she pretended to be asleep and quietly continued her live stream.

In the other room, Xi Qingxu finished setting up the study. He smelled of something on him and was about to take a shower when his phone popped up with a notification.

The streamer you follow is live! Come join the stream!

He paused for a moment, then turned on his phone.

This blogger doesn't do many live streams; sometimes he's too busy to watch them.

When I entered the live stream room, the girl wearing a half-mask was gently rubbing the microphone wrapped in plastic wrap with her fingers.

There was some foam on it, and the sound it made was a bit like someone was washing their hair.

There were many people watching, and the comments kept coming in. Xi Qingxu glanced at them and saw that some people wanted the streamer to remove her mask and show her face, some wanted her to make a different voice, and some even said that the streamer's fingers were very beautiful...

He didn't linger on the comments for long; after glancing at them, he focused intently on the people on the screen.

The curves of their mouths are exactly the same.

There was only one thought in his mind.

Taking advantage of the holiday, Lu Chuqing extended her live stream by more than half an hour, and it was almost 2 a.m. when she ended the broadcast.

After quickly tidying up her things, she drifted off to sleep in a daze.

Due to her biological clock, she was still incredibly sleepy in the morning, but she forced herself to get up and urinate.

Her eyes were so sore she could barely open them, so she squinted and groped her way to the bathroom.

I didn't notice the bathroom door was open, so I went straight in and walked towards the toilet next to the shower, and suddenly bumped into someone.

"Ah..." She was so sleepy that her head was spinning, and the impact was quite severe, causing her to lose her footing.

Be careful.

Xi Qingxu grabbed the girl's arms to prevent her from falling.

Lu Chuqing was forced to wake up a lot at once, and blinked as she looked at the boy in front of her.

Her hair was still dripping wet from the freshly washed hair, her eyebrows and eyes were damp and misty from the shower, her upper body was completely naked, and the lines of her muscles were visible beneath her slightly pale skin.

"..." Lu Chuqing pushed the person away and slapped him across the face.

Xi Qingxu's mind, which was prone to blankness, instantly went completely empty.

"Why do you never close the door when you take a shower?" the girl said preemptively, glaring at the boy whose face was instantly marked with finger marks.

Xi Qingxu turned her head, her eyes clear and empty, and explained, "I turned it off."

Both the wet and dry areas had doors, which he not only closed but also locked.

The boy was taller than her, and standing in front of her, he was just a sea of ​​white.

Lu Chuqing felt the blood rush to her face, turned around, pointed at the wide-open outer door, and said, "Then how do you explain this door?"

"The lock is broken; it will automatically open when you close it."

The boy's blank expression seemed to reveal a hint of innocence as he explained, "It broke yesterday. I told my uncle, and he said the upstairs didn't reinstall the lock. This lock is from when the house was simply renovated, and it's old and not in good condition. I'm going to find a locksmith to install a new one today."

"...Then why did you come out without any clothes on!"

Lu Chuqing strongly suspected that Xi Qingxu was doing it on purpose, how come she always ran into him right after he had just taken a shower?

This time, Xi Qingxu paused for a moment, then said, "I'm wearing pants."

Lu Chuqing could no longer contain herself. "Just because you're a man doesn't mean you can go shirtless!"

"Don't you know that both men and women need to protect themselves?"

"Have you ever heard that boys should never be naked, no matter where they are? It's to protect others and to protect yourself!"

Xi Qingxu stopped talking, turned around and took a towel from the bathroom to wrap around her upper body. "Okay, now I'm not naked anymore."

Lu Chuqing glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. The boy's upper body was wrapped in a pure white bath towel, which covered most of his chin. His dark eyes were fixed on her.

It sounded a bit like he was feeling wronged.

Just looking at that face, she couldn't stay angry. Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, she pushed the person out, saying, "Get out after you've finished showering!"

Xi Qingxu looked at the closed door, and saw it automatically open a crack again. The girl had something stuck in the doorknob, and the door finally fell silent.

Lu Chuqing originally planned to continue sleeping, but after the commotion in the morning, she couldn't fall back asleep. Lu Ying called her to eat breakfast, and she went downstairs with a wisp of resentment on her face.

Not in a hurry to go to school, she didn't change her clothes and went downstairs in her long-sleeved nightgown.

Seeing the boy wearing a dark blue hoodie and light-colored jeans, she curled her lips and went over to sit down.

The family had a rather substantial breakfast. Lu Chuqing took a sip of the congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and Xi Jun handed her a large soup dumpling on a small plate.

"Qingqing, try the soup dumplings your uncle made."

"Thank you, Uncle Xi." The girl thanked him, poked a small hole in the soup dumpling with her chopsticks, scooped some vinegar onto it with a small spoon, blew on it, and took a shallow sip of the soup.

The soup is fresh and delicious, instantly whetting the appetite.

"Uncle Xi's cooking is so good, he could open his own shop!" the girl praised without reservation.

"Haha, Qingqing thinks it's delicious, so Uncle makes it for her all the time." The man laughed and handed Xi Qingxu a braised egg.

The boy was eating soup dumplings, and the uncontrollable broth made him a little embarrassed.

Lu Ying took out a tissue and handed it over. He looked up and nodded to the two elders to thank them.

Xi Jun peeled a hard-boiled egg for Lu Chuqing and looked at Xi Qingxu, asking, "Qingxu, are you going out later?"

"Yeah, I have a part-time job to do," the boy replied.

Lu Chuqing, who was standing next to her, looked up and said, "I'm going out later too. I've made plans to go to the library with my classmates to do my homework."

Lu Ying asked, "Is it that little girl who sat next to you when you started school?"

After school started, the woman asked her about the class, and she mentioned that her deskmate was a particularly cute girl.

"Mm." She took the peeled braised egg from Xi Jun and thanked him again, "Thank you, Uncle Xi."

The woman didn't think much of it and casually said, "That's perfect. When you and Xiao Xu go out together later, you can look out for each other."

Lu Chuqing didn't think too much about it either, and said, "We agreed to meet at 9:30, it's still a bit early!"

Xi Qingxu swallowed the "okay" that was on the tip of his tongue.

"It's 9:30. If you study for a while, it'll be lunchtime. Did you make plans to eat together? Uncle will transfer some money to you later," Xi Jun said.

Lu Chuqing hadn't really thought of that.

In the morning, she saw a message from Qu Fusang, asking her to meet at the city library before 9:30, but he didn't mention whether they should have lunch together.

"I don't know, my classmates didn't say either. We'll see how it goes. If they're not coming back for dinner, I'll send you a message."

"Okay, you and your classmates should be careful," Lu Ying reminded her.

"Okay, Mom."
