At seven o'clock the next morning, Chen Xu woke up on time as usual. Over the past month, he had formed a biological clock.

There were some noises outside the window that were a little different from the usual. No need to guess, everyone knew it must be caused by Luo Xiyun, the new guest.

When he woke up, he felt much calmer.

In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, from Luo Xiyun's perspective, it is normal to be more cautious when living with a man who is considered a stranger. This is also a form of self-protection.

It means speaking without considering other people's feelings.

Of course, for someone like her, why should she care about other people's feelings?

However, he could understand, but that didn't mean he could accept it. He still felt a little unhappy.

If he had known from the beginning that this "virtual dream" could be so real, with everything from appearance to personality being exactly the same, he would never have chosen a woman like Luo Xiyun to accompany him.

In the company, Luo Xiyun has always been a hot topic.

There were many discussions about her in private, and the most talked about thing was her sharp tongue, which showed no mercy to anyone, and therefore offended many people.

It is said that once, she almost embarrassed the company's boss in public. In the end, the boss did not do anything to her, but her reputation spread completely.

He has learned his lesson now.

To be honest, there was a moment last night when he really had an impulse.

However, it was just a thought; he couldn't do such a thing.

Although he often told himself that this was just a dream, the longer he stayed here, the more he could no longer regard all this as a dream.

At most, out of sight, out of mind.

He thought so and prepared to do so.

After breakfast, he took his schedule and went to find Luo Xiyun. She lived next door, in what used to be a coffee shop. Later, he cleaned it up and put some daily necessities in it. He vacated it yesterday and gave it to her to live in.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he noticed a new intercom-style doorbell installed on the door. Obviously, it was installed specifically for him. The intention was also obvious, suggesting that he should not enter without permission.

"So she spent the whole morning tinkering with this just to install it?"

Thinking this, he pressed the doorbell.

"Come in." The voice coming from the intercom was a little distorted.

Chen Xu opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he found that the floor was wet, the things inside had been tidied up, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

Further inside is an office, which is now her bedroom.

The bedroom door was open and she was holding a towel, bending over, wiping the table.

Chen Xu felt a little strange, "Didn't you just wash it yesterday?"

Although it was strange, he didn't ask anything and said, "Let's talk about the division of labor."

Luo Xiyun folded the towel neatly, put it aside, and said, "Let's go out and talk."

The two walked outside and found a table to sit down.

As soon as Chen Xu took out the schedule, he saw her take out a wet tissue and wipe her hands carefully. He suddenly realized, "Turns out she's a mysophobe." He thought that she must have had a very difficult month.

Of course, this had nothing to do with him. Now he just wanted to finish the conversation quickly and leave.

The plan he made was very simple, that is, the heavy physical work would be assigned to Chen Xu, while the work such as washing clothes, cleaning and tidying would be assigned to Luo Xiyun.

Luo Xiyun took the book and read it quickly. Soon, he asked, "What does the cleaning area include?"

"As for the public areas," Chen Xu said. "You don't have to worry about where I live, including the first floor. I will take care of it myself."

Luo Xiyun nodded, indicating that she agreed with this. She continued to read on, and soon asked several questions in succession, and Chen Xu answered them one by one.

Finally, Luo Xiyun finished reading the entire list and put it on the table.

Chen Xu also relaxed and said, "If there is no problem, our work allocation plan will be temporarily decided. If you find any problems in the future, we can discuss it together."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when he heard Luo Xiyun say, "There is a question."

He had no choice but to sit down again, "You say."

"I don't seem to see the two items of cooking and washing dishes." Luo Xiyun asked, "What are you going to arrange?"

"You're talking about this."

Chen Xu said, "After thinking about it, I think it's better for each of us to do our own thing."

Luo Xiyun looked at him for a long time before asking, "Why?"

Why? Is there any need to ask this? Chen Xu simply said, "This way, you don't have to force yourself to face me, and I don't have to be embarrassed in front of you."

Luo Xiyun looked at him steadily, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said, "Are you angry and embarrassed just because of what I said yesterday? You are a man, can't you be a little gentleman?"

There was silence.

"Why?"

After a while, Chen Xu spoke, his voice was not loud, and it was a bit sarcastic. "Just because I am a man and you are a woman, you can ignore my feelings and say things that hurt my self-esteem. And even if I am unhappy, I can't show it?"

"Just because you are a woman, your family is rich, you are beautiful, and you hold a higher position than me. I have to take care of your feelings in everything and disgust myself to fulfill your wishes?"

"If this is what you call gentlemanly behavior. Then I would like to say——"

Chen Xu said word by word, "Screw the gentlemanly manners."

"You--" Luo Xiyun's face turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or anxiety.

Chen Xu has come to this point, so he might as well get straight to the point. "Of course, although I don't have what you call 'gentlemanly manners', I still have basic principles of being a human being. Since you look down on me, then you don't have to worry about what I will do to you."

"But I am a 26-year-old man, normal from the inside out. So, there is no need to meet. It's good for both you and me."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu felt relaxed both physically and mentally. There were some things that he had been unable to express himself for a long time, but in reality, no matter how unhappy he was, he often had to hold it in.

Now, I am in my own dream, so I can say whatever I want without considering any other consequences.

It doesn't matter whether Luo Xiyun will be irritated by his words and leave. She can leave if she wants.

One month has passed, and the remaining five months will not be a problem. At this time, of course, it is more important to have clear thoughts.

Chen Xu didn't look at Luo Xiyun's ugly face and turned away.
