"good."
After Jiang Cheng took the small bottle from Zhao Xuerou, he turned around and continued cleaning up the dirty dishes in the sink.
Zhao Xuerou was taken aback for a moment, then reached out her hand: "Let me help you?"
"Need not!"
When Jiang Cheng felt Zhao Xuerou's touch on his arm, he immediately stepped back a few feet, his face freezing in shock. Then he quickly realized that his behavior was a bit too much, and he smiled awkwardly: "I just saw that you had just finished showering and were about to get your hands dirty again. I told you to go and rest, so you don't need to come here and bother me."
As he spoke, he pushed Zhao Xuerou out of the somewhat cramped kitchen: "Alright, you go ahead and do your thing, I can handle it myself."
"Really?"
Although Zhao Xuerou was still somewhat worried about Jiang Cheng, it was a good thing that the man had finally started to take the initiative to do housework. So she didn't insist anymore and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go back to my room first. You should finish washing these dishes and then take a shower. I've already boiled water for you."
As she spoke, she turned back to look at Jiang Cheng with even more affection, her expression revealing all her thoughts.
Jiang Cheng could only pretend not to understand her hint and nodded absentmindedly.
After watching Zhao Xuerou return to her room, Jiang Cheng didn't even feel like washing the dishes anymore. He just secretly peeked at the door and made sure Zhao Xuerou closed it before letting out a long sigh of relief: "Phew..."
This woman is unbelievable!
It seemed she had already made up her mind that she would not give up until she won him over today, so every word Zhao Xuerou spoke was full of affection, constantly hinting and suggesting to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng closed the kitchen door in frustration, leaned against the door, and ran his fingers through his hair.
"What should we do?!"
He really didn't know what to do for a moment.
Zhao Xuerou was pressuring him so much, and he couldn't simply refuse. Any overly obvious abnormal behavior would cause the dream plane to collapse. As things stood, Jiang Cheng hadn't yet found the projection, so he absolutely couldn't do anything unusual.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's brows furrowed with even more distress and confusion.
At the same time, a cold voice suddenly appeared in his consciousness.
"Boss, what are you worried about?"
Gu Qingwan's voice appeared at the right time, which eased Jiang Cheng's worries a little: "Perfect timing, you quickly help me think of a way to resolve the current situation. Zhao Xuerou seems to have made up her mind and insists on being with me... cough cough cough, you'd better quickly help me think of a solution!"
"Boss, you must stick to your bottom line." Gu Qingwan didn't offer any solutions, only giving a vague and indistinct explanation.
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "Do you think I don't know I should hold on? My question is, what should we do?"
"Just remain unmoved by her presence." Gu Qingwan remained as cold and aloof as ever.
"How could it not be chaotic!"
Jiang Cheng sighed and rubbed his forehead: "You make it sound simple, but doing it is a completely different story. How can we avoid making a mess of things?"
Just then, Zhao Xuerou, who had just closed the door, urged again, "Honey, are you done yet? I can still hear you in the kitchen. If you really don't know how to wash dishes, just leave it and I'll clean it up tomorrow. Don't waste your time. I'm really sleepy."
Zhao Xuerou's words made it extremely clear what she wanted.
"...Okay, got it."
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to hastily rinse the empty bowls in the sink, wipe the water off his hands, and leave the kitchen.
As Jiang Cheng passed by the bedroom, his gaze was still drawn to Zhao Xuerou, who was sitting at the dressing table with her back to him, combing her hair.
Her exposed white and jet-black hair on her back complemented each other beautifully, making it impossible for him to remain calm.
Zhao Xuerou seemed to have heard the noise behind her, and turned around to see Jiang Cheng standing at the door. She said with a hint of reproach, "Honey, what are you standing there for? Go take a shower, my hair is almost dry."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Cheng pretended to be blank and turned around, then took a bath towel and went into the bathroom.
With a "click," the door locked. Jiang Cheng thought he could escape to the bathroom for a while and find some peace of mind, but the moment the shower was turned on, his mind was thrown into utter chaos.
"Why……"
Jiang Cheng stood helplessly under the hot water, feeling the refreshing sensation of the water washing over his skin, and sighed with his eyes closed.
Think quickly, what should we do...?
Even after brainstorming for nearly half an hour, he still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.
Just now at the dinner table, Jiang Cheng's reaction was already very strange. If he continued to reject Zhao Xuerou, it might really cause the collapse of the dream world.
But how can you make your refusal less obvious?
Jiang Cheng thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Nearly an hour later, the hot water was almost used up, and Jiang Cheng had no choice but to turn off the tap after feeling the water temperature in the showerhead drop sharply.
Looking down, Jiang Cheng noticed that his fingers had become wrinkled from prolonged exposure to a damp environment. He suddenly remembered that this was a natural bodily reaction. When the subcutaneous nerves detect that the body has been underwater or in a damp environment for an extended period, they automatically send a signal to increase skin friction as a form of self-protection. This causes the blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue of the fingers and toes to constrict, reducing their volume and resulting in wrinkles.
His nerves are perfectly capable of reacting naturally to their environment, so why, after thinking for so long, is he still unable to handle even this small situation...?
