At 10:30 p.m., after taking a shower, Tang Qi stood in front of the mirror with a hairdryer, lost in thought.
She still vividly remembered the feeling of Lu Zhe blow-drying her hair last night; it was incredibly comfortable and pleasant. But the feeling of almost being caught by Sister Xiao Die in Lu Zhe's room was equally unforgettable, almost suffocating her.
The young lady still wanted him to blow-dry her hair, but just imagining Xue Xiaodie suddenly opening the door filled her with an indescribable sense of fear that prevented her from taking a step.
What if Sister Xiaodie catches me red-handed again?
No, it's not just a possibility, it's very likely!
Tang Qi thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea and did it.
So she put down the hairdryer, picked up her phone, and sent a WeChat message to someone: "Assistant, could you come and dry my hair? The bed is so comfortable, I don't want to move!"
Then the young lady flopped onto the bed, kicked off her slippers, buried her face in the blanket, and really didn't move.
But after a while, not only did no one come, but my phone also stopped vibrating, meaning there was no reply.
It seems Lu Zhe didn't see it?
This was a bit awkward, as her hair was still wet and hanging down her back, which was a little uncomfortable.
Just as the young lady was hesitating and preparing to get up, the door suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhe's voice rang out: "So, you want me to come and serve you tonight?"
Tang Qi wiggled her little feet: "Yes, yes!"
Lu Zhe smiled and shook his head, closed the door, and came in. He first found the hair dryer, plugged it in next to the bedside table, then sat on the edge of the bed and turned it on.
With one hand, he ran his fingers through the girl's soft hair, while the other held a hairdryer. He had to maintain a suitable distance and keep moving the hairdryer around, feeling the strands gradually dry and become increasingly smooth in his hands…
Suddenly, Tang Qi said, "Actually, there's no need to shake it back and forth like that. The hairdryer won't burn me."
Lu Zhe: "Indeed, but I've only ever used regular hair dryers before, so it's the same with my Dyson now; it's become a habit. Do you find it uncomfortable?"
Tang Qi murmured, "It feels quite comfortable... Let's continue then, no need to change it."
Lu Zhe smiled and was about to say something when a knock came at the door.
Who could be knocking on the door?
Tang Qi jumped up as if she'd been electrocuted and sat up straight. Lu Zhe also turned off the hairdryer.
Then, the door was opened.
Xue Xiaodie pushed open the door and entered. She glanced at the scene on the bed and asked with a smile, "Lu Zhe, are you helping Xiao Caitang blow-dry her hair?"
He forced himself to answer, "Yes."
Tang Qi looked completely bewildered: "How did you get here..."
Xue Xiaodie looked at her and said naturally, "I also tried to find you last night, but I couldn't. I even sent you several messages, but you didn't reply to me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi picked up her phone and exclaimed, "But you didn't send me anything tonight!"
The young lady was indignant; this was simply unethical.
Xue Xiaodie smiled sweetly: "Because I just wanted to chat with you tonight..."
At this moment, Lu Zhe was sitting on the young lady's bed. Although he hadn't even taken off his slippers and was just sitting on the edge of the bed, he still felt quite uncomfortable.
So he said, "Why don't you blow-dry her hair? I'm going back to my room."
Xue Xiaodie agreed without hesitation, "Okay!"
Tang Qi was very unwilling. However, she was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she could only try to find a different angle. Although verbal sparring was not her forte, under the pressure, she still came up with a reason.
The young lady immediately said, "Lu Zhe is my assistant, but Sister Xiao Die, you're not. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
However, Xue Xiaodie responded almost without thinking: "But I'm still your tenant, after all. You haven't asked me for rent, so isn't it nice of me to show my appreciation and provide you with some service?"
Tang Qi couldn't help but frown, really not wanting to take Lu Zhe's place. Unfortunately, Lu Zhe had already put down the hairdryer and got up to leave.
Seeing this, the young lady could only nod resignedly, which could be considered as a reluctant agreement.
Lu Zhe walked to the door, turned around and said, "Then you all should get some rest. I'm going to sleep first."
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Okay, goodnight."
Tang Qi said with a mournful face, "Goodnight..."
Lu Zhe went out and closed the door behind him.
Only two young girls remained in the master bedroom.
Xue Xiaodie sat on the edge of the bed and, just like Lu Zhe had done, picked up the hairdryer and began to dry the young lady's hair. While drying, she would gently stroke it every now and then.
For a boy, this would undoubtedly be a pleasure, but Tang Qi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Before long, she couldn't help but say, "Forget it, I can play it myself, no need to bother you."
After saying that, Tang Qi snatched the hair dryer.
Xue Xiaodie looked at her free hand and asked in a low voice, "Since you can play it yourself, why did you specifically call Lu Zhe over?"
Tang Qi's fingers loosened, and she accidentally dropped the hairdryer—luckily, it fell onto the bed.
Although the hair dryer was working fine, Miss Tang felt that something was wrong with her.
She gritted her teeth and thought for a moment, then said, "I was a little tired after taking a shower, so I called Lu Zhe over... I'm not so tired now."
Xue Xiaodie nodded calmly: "I see."
Tang Qi forced a smile: "Yes, of course that's how it is, that's right!"
Xue Xiaodie suddenly sighed and said softly, "Do you still remember the Wu-Shu alliance?"
"Huh?" Tang Qi paused for a second, then realized, "I remember!"
Xue Xiaodie stared at her and asked again, "Then do you know about crossing the river in white?"
Tang Qi: "...What river?"

Lu Zhe returned to his bedroom, lay down on the bed, and prepared to go to sleep.
Like many young people today, he has a habit of checking his phone before bed. Before, checking his phone was just that—checking his phone, maybe watching a couple of videos—no one would contact him that late. But in the past month, things have changed.
And today...
Lu Zhe had just turned on his phone screen when he saw a WeChat message from Xia Xiaobing.
Are you still awake? Can you come and help me with something?
Lu Zhe paused for a moment, then replied: "President Xia, I've already showered and am in bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Then, just a few seconds later, Xia Xiaobing sent another message: "Tonight, I'm upstairs from you."
Lu Zhe was completely stunned.
Then Xia Xiaobing sent another explanation: "I'm moving tonight, but I've run into a little problem. Could you please help me out? By the way, there's no need to tell them about this, so as not to bother everyone."
In the darkness, the glow of the phone screen illuminated Lu Zhe's face. His handsome face was grave.
