After leaving the stadium, Yuzuru accompanied Ran and Sonoko for a leisurely stroll in the mall for quite a while, until it was almost dark before they returned to the villa.
"Ta-da!"
With her hands behind her back, Xiaolan skipped and hopped in front of the villa like a happy little deer, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she walked briskly into the yard.
It's her turn to be on duty today.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a refreshing scent wafted over her, and Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this feels so good! Even though I've experienced this many times, I still feel like my whole being is cleansed every time!"
I didn't feel anything special when I was outside.
But the moment she stepped through the gate, the air in the courtyard, purified by the spring of purification, was like a gentle hand, instantly sweeping away her fatigue and dust, making her feel refreshed and comfortable, as if her whole being had been cleansed, and even her breathing became lighter.
Over the past week, the Purifying Spring has fully demonstrated its power.
The spiritual energy concentration of the entire villa has increased significantly, making it seem like a secluded paradise hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Even the various flowers and plants carefully cultivated by the little maids in the flower bed with their evolved flowerpots bloomed more brightly, exuding a captivating fragrance that was intoxicating.
All these beautiful scenes were locked inside the courtyard.
Only by stepping inside the villa can outsiders discover that it is a world unto itself.
"Nan, your Purifying Spring is truly amazing!"
"Oh? Is he as good as your husband?"
Yuzuru followed behind, a mischievous smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan's face instantly turned red, and she turned around and punched Yusheng Nan on the shoulder: "Nan, you're talking nonsense again!"
"Oh dear, you're really blaming me." Yu Shengnan spread his hands, looking completely innocent. "I didn't say anything. It's clearly Xiaolan who has unhealthy thoughts and is overthinking things."
Now Xiaolan was even more ashamed and indignant. She pouted and glared at him, pretending to be angry. "Nan, you...you're so mean!"
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the villa, muttering to herself.
"I'm going to tell Mingmei on this!"
Even so, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
In her heart, her husband was indeed the best in every aspect.
When Yuzuru saw Ran pretending to complain, he laughed and quickly followed, "No, Ran, I was wrong, okay? If you really go and complain, Akemi will definitely scold me."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiaolan's arm and shook it slightly, like a spoiled big boy.
Xiaolan suppressed a laugh, turned her head with a serious expression, but her eyes were full of undisguised amusement: "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Yu Sheng Nan said in a serious tone, "I shouldn't have wronged our Xiao Lan by saying that her thoughts were unhealthy. It was my fault. My words were ambiguous, which made our innocent and kind Princess Xiao Lan think in the wrong direction!"
Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing at Yuzuru's blatant attempt to distort the truth, and then gave a disgruntled snort.
"Hmph~ Nan is a big bad guy, I'm ignoring you."
The two walked into the villa laughing and joking; the living room was brightly lit.
Akemi was sitting on the sofa, leisurely watching TV. Hearing the sound, she looked up and smiled gently: "Young Master Yuzuru, Ran, welcome home."
Xiaolan quickly walked over to Mingmei and sat down next to her, resting her head affectionately on her shoulder, her little mouth slightly pouting. Anyone who saw her would feel that she had suffered a great injustice.
"Mingmei, you have to stand up for me! Nan is bullying me again!"
"I'm innocent! It was Xiaolan who bullied me!"
Yu Shengnan shouted that he was innocent, sat down on the other side, grabbed her other arm, and gently nuzzled her head.
The two rascals, each with an arm around Mingmei's mother, were begging her to intervene.
Mingmei's mother looked at Xiaolan's feigned pitiful appearance, then at Yusheng Nan's innocent look, her face beaming with smiles and her eyes full of doting affection. She played with the two of them for a while before getting up to prepare dinner.
"Alright, alright, I'll go make you something delicious. Young Master Yuzuru won the competition today, so he deserves a good reward."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolan immediately perked up, quickly stood up, and followed behind Mingmei, saying, "I'll go help too, Sister Mingmei. I want to try the new dish I learned today."
The two walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, toward the kitchen.
Soon, the sounds of washing and chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, occasionally interspersed with bursts of laughter.
Yuzuru stretched and glanced around the living room, casually asking, "Akami, where's Ai?"
Akemi, who was busy in the kitchen, replied, "In the lab."
"receive!"
7th floor.
The laboratory was brightly lit, with white walls and workbenches filled with instruments, giving the entire space a high-tech feel.
Wearing a fitted white lab coat, Shiho Miyano was intently staring at the experimental sample of the Purifying Spring and aptX4869 mixed together under the microscope, her tweezers moving gently from time to time, with a Time Cloth on the table next to her.
Yuzuru walked in from outside and watched this scene with admiration.
The "lazy white coat" that Ai had upgraded when she first arrived at the villa finally came in handy. It can be made big or small and can adapt to various body types, making it a perfect match for Shiho, who has both an older sister and a loli identity.
And it even comes with a built-in energy buff!
Yuzuru approached stealthily, suddenly hugged Shiho from behind, and chuckled mischievously as he breathed hot air into her ear, "What kind of experiment are you doing?"
