After school
"Bye-bye~" Xia Xiang and Rex said goodbye to the president, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
"Nian, let's have another match at the training ground later," Guan Yu invited.
"Yu, not today," Xia Xiang said. "He's tutoring me in Chinese today, how about tomorrow morning?"
She had witnessed their duel and could only conclude that he was indeed her master's alter ego, possessing terrifyingly strong talent.
"Sister Xia, I'm not trying to be mean," Zhang Fei put his hand on Xia Xiang's shoulder, "your Chinese is even worse than mine, there's absolutely no need for you to catch up, it's really tough on our little Xia brother."
"Let go," Rex said disdainfully, slapping Zhang Fei's arm off Xia Xiang's shoulder. "What are you yelling about?"
"Don't worry, Brother Xia, I'll tutor our sister and guarantee she'll pass," Zhang Fei said with a hearty laugh, putting his arms around Xia Xiang and Xia Nian on either side.
"You don't need to worry about me at all," Xia Xiang said angrily, baring her teeth. "I could do better than you even if I took the test with my eyes closed!"
"Alright, Fei," the president stepped in to smooth things over. "Brother Xia Nian has something to do, so let's do it tomorrow morning. I'd also like to see what Brother Xia Nian is capable of."
He genuinely wanted to experience the martial arts skills that even Guan Yu admired. While Xia Nian might not be as strong as Guan Yu, he was superior in the agility and versatility of Xia Nian's fists and feet.
Guan Yu felt he had gained a lot from just one match with Xia Nian.
"Okay, goodbye." Rex pushed Zhang Fei aside, put his arm around Xia Xiang's shoulder, and pulled her home, who looked unhappy.
Rex took every match very seriously and never underestimated anyone. In his match against Guan Yu, he had the upper hand, as he had a photographic memory and had learned from many different schools of thought.
"Don't be upset," Rex comforted her.
Xia Xiang pouted and said angrily, "I'm not unhappy."
“Alright, I’ll tutor you,” Rex said with amusement.
Xia Xiang refused outright, "No need. Actually, Fei is right, there's nothing worth tutoring." Anyway, they wouldn't be staying here for very long.
"Niannian~ I'll go get ready first. You wait for me in the hot spring room with the sauna on the second floor," Xia Xiang said, putting down her schoolbag and returning to her room. After a few steps, she turned back to remind her, "Remember not to wear too many layers~"
Rex: "!!!" He instinctively wrapped himself tightly in his school uniform.
What is Xia Xiang trying to do? Does she no longer want to be his brother? Sure enough, this woman has been lusting after his body from the very beginning!
Half an hour later
After Xia Xiang finished eating the fruit platter prepared for him, Rex, dressed in a thick, bulky outfit, finally appeared in the hot spring room.
"Can I just call you 'brother'?" Xia Xiang tossed the fruit fork into the huge fruit platter, burped, and said, "I told you not to wear too many layers, not to wear this much!!!"
"What are all these things you've put on? So many bathrobes, towels, and yukatas?"
"Sister, I'm your younger brother, right?" Rex said, wrapped in the outermost large bath towel.
Xia Xiang's eyes darted away unnaturally. "Otherwise what? Why would I go through all that trouble to prepare a medicinal bath to treat your internal injuries?"
"Uh, a medicinal bath?" Rex breathed a sigh of relief, but was also inexplicably disappointed.
"Heh," Xia Xiang clearly understood. "Am I the kind of person who would go to such lengths? We're siblings, don't doubt me!"
Besides, he looks just like her older brother. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare! Not to mention she already has a little darling husband who's her number one priority!
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other, or I'll just pick him up myself," Rex said.
Xia Xiang crossed her arms and asked coldly, "Are you referring to the explanation in our traditional understanding? Or the explanation the teacher taught in class today?"
“Traditional,” Rex replied.
“I don’t want to go through all that trouble either! But my special ability…” Xia Xiang was speechless, as if she really wanted to see him. “I mean, a medicinal bath alone isn’t enough; it also needs to be combined with energy guidance.”
Actually, if Senior Zuo Ci hadn't been so serious, she wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble.
As long as she can instantly boost her energy to 50,000 and use light to drive out darkness, this bit of demonic power will be a piece of cake.
Xia Xiang saw that he had wrapped himself up like a plush toy and said bluntly, "I just asked you to wear less, not to take it all off. Why are you thinking so much about it!"
