When they arrived downstairs of the rental house, Yu Sheng and Yu Cheng stayed in the car as instructed.

Yu Bai got out of the car, took a deep breath, then pushed open the door of the unit and walked in with steady steps.

The dim voice-controlled lights in the corridor lit up and went out with her footsteps.

Standing in front of that familiar door, her fingertips felt slightly cold.

Countless scenes from past and present lives surged through his mind, finally settling on that disgusting and hypocritical face.

“Click.”

The door opened.

Inside the house, Zhao Jia had obviously just finished taking a shower.

His hair was wet, with water droplets sliding down his bare shoulders and back. He had only a bath towel loosely wrapped around his waist, and was using the towel to dry his hair.

Hearing the door open, he paused and looked back with a hint of impatience.

When Zhao Jia saw clearly that it was Yu Bai standing at the door, he was completely stunned, with the towel in his hand hanging in the air, and a trace of obvious shock flashed in his eyes.

He always knew that Yu Bai was beautiful, pretty and clean, with a bit of the gentleness of a girl next door.

But after being together for a long time, no matter how beautiful the face is, it is inevitable to get tired of it, especially after he became more active in thinking that Yu Bai's family background was ordinary and not worthy of him.

But at this moment, Yu Bai in front of him seemed... a little different.

It was still that familiar face, the facial features had not changed, but the skin was delicate and smooth, with a healthy glow.

Especially those eyes, which were surprisingly clear and bright.

Zhao Jia stared blankly and forgot to speak for a moment.

Although he couldn't tell how Yu Bai had changed, she was just... more beautiful, so beautiful that it made his heart skip a beat.

Zhao Jia didn't know what was lost, but Yu Bai knew.

All this is naturally thanks to the crystal core.

Although Yu Bai cannot directly absorb the energy of the crystal core like a psychic.

But the pure energy contained in the crystal core is still subtly improving her physical condition.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the body's meridians are unblocked and purified, and the congestion, cold and dampness are also dissolved.

Not only does the body feel lighter, but the quality of sleep is also greatly improved, and the whole person exudes vitality from the inside out.

Zhao Jia was observing Yu Bai, and Yu Bai was also looking at Zhao Jia.

This was the first time that Yu Bai had looked at Zhao Jia face to face at such a close distance since his rebirth.

Look at this culprit who killed her entire family and tortured her to death in her previous life!

The overwhelming hatred was like the most turbulent magma, instantly sweeping through her limbs and bones, almost destroying all her sanity!

The thought of killing Zhao Jia hissed like a poisonous snake, gnawing at her nerves.

It took a lot of effort for her to restrain herself from rushing over immediately.

"What are you doing standing at the door?"

Zhao Jia's voice broke the deadlock. The impatience on his face quietly disappeared, and even his voice became much gentler.

Yu Bai didn't move, because she was still trying her best to suppress the hatred in her heart.

However, the result of trying too hard was that her eyes instantly turned red.

But in Zhao Jia's eyes, this was automatically interpreted into another meaning.

Haha, you still can’t let me go.

A hint of pride flashed through the man's heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

"Tsk, didn't we just break up? Why is it so serious?"

He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if it was just a trivial matter.

As he spoke, Zhao Jia stretched out his arm and naturally pulled Yu Bai, who was still standing stiffly at the door, into the living room.

His movements were so familiar that it seemed as if there had never been any rift between them.

The warm body temperature came through the thin air, carrying the scent of soap after bathing, but it made Yu Bai's stomach churn.

Then, he stuffed the towel, which still had Zhao Jia's body temperature and moisture, into Yu Bai's hand.

"What are you standing there for?"

Zhao Jia sat down on the beige sofa in the living room that they had chosen together. The edge of the bath towel opened slightly with the movement, revealing the strong and tight lines of his abdominal muscles.

He patted the spot behind him and gestured lazily at his wet hair.

"Come here and help me wipe it."

The tone, as it should be, carried the arrogance of someone accustomed to being taken care of.

Yu Bai lowered his head and looked at the soft white towel in his hand.

The towels are made of pure cotton, very absorbent and thick.

If...if I twist it into a strand right now and suddenly wrap it around his defenseless neck...

A crazy and tempting thought suddenly emerged from the darkest corner of my heart like a poisonous snake!

At this distance, in this position, he had just finished a shower, his whole body was relaxed, and his vigilance was at its lowest...

It's entirely possible!

It only takes a moment of explosive power to make him pay the first interest for the sins of his previous life!

Yu Bai's fingertips trembled uncontrollably and his breathing became a little rapid.

The blood seemed to rush faster in the veins, clamoring for revenge!

"What's wrong? Why are you dawdling? Hurry up."

Zhao Jia's slightly impatient urging voice came from behind him, like a basin of cold water with ice chips, suddenly poured on the crazy fire that had just ignited in Yu Bai's heart.

no!

It’s not the time yet!

Killing him would be too easy for him, and it would also be too easy for that bitch Zhou Anan!

She clenched her back teeth tightly, and a hint of rusty sweetness rose in her mouth, forcing the boiling murderous intent and hatred back into the deepest part of her heart, sealing it away.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Bai walked behind Zhao Jia with an expressionless face.

Then she reached out and began to wipe his wet hair.

But the movement no longer had the cautious gentleness and patience of the past, and the strength of the fingertips was somewhat imperceptible.

"hiss--"

Zhao Jia was obviously hurt by her. He moved his neck uncomfortably and frowned.

"Be gentle! You..."

He didn't finish his words, as if he had noticed something was wrong with Yu Bai, but he just thought she was still upset about the breakup, which affected her movements.

The man impatiently snatched the towel from her hand and rubbed it on his head twice.

"Alright, alright, you're so clumsy, you can't do anything right!"

The tone was full of disgust, but at the end there was a subtle, self-righteous comfort.

"It's just that we haven't broken up yet, why are you so sad?"

After saying this, Zhao Jia seemed to suddenly remember something, or perhaps he finally had a change of heart.

He casually threw the towel on the armrest of the sofa, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Yu Bai's face. He asked casually:

"By the way, how's the treatment for your brother's leg going?"

"I heard that kind of surgery is quite expensive, right? It should cost a lot of money?"
