As Lu Zhe carried his bags into the elevator, he felt incredibly clever.
How can I explain the origin of the clothes Xia Xiaobing gave me to the two girls? No problem. Just suggest going out for a trip, buy a couple of clothes yourself, mix them together and say you bought them, and everything will be fine.
Of course, to do this, he found an opportunity before cooking to take the clothes out and put them in the temporary storage locker downstairs. And to avoid looking out of place, he did spend more than a thousand yuan at the mall to avoid the clothes having too much of a difference in quality.
But when he returned to the house, he keenly noticed that Tang Qi's expression seemed somewhat unnatural. Especially when she saw the large bags and packages she was carrying, Miss Tang seemed hesitant to speak.
However, in any case, what needs to be said still needs to be said.
“I’m back from shopping for clothes,” Lu Zhe said as naturally as possible. “Would you like to take a look?”
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Okay, what did you buy?"
Lu Zhe placed several large paper bags on the sofa, took out their contents, and said, "There are shirts, jackets, jeans and work pants, and boots. You see, this is the first time I've ever spent so much money on clothes."
Tang Qi asked sullenly, "Why do you suddenly want to spend money on clothes?"
Lu Zhe: "After spending a lot of time with beautiful girls like you, I feel like I need to pay a little more attention to my image."
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "You're very self-aware."
Tang Qi sat down next to the clothes, flipped through them, and saw that there were two more pieces that she had never seen before. Her expression softened slightly.
Upon noticing this detail, Lu Zhe's eyes twitched, and his heart skipped a beat.
Tang Qi said softly, "Yes, they look much better than your old clothes. You can buy more of them in the future. If you're reluctant to spend the money, I can buy them for you."
Lu Zhe maintained his smile: "No need, Miss paid me so much salary..."
"I already told you, don't call me Miss!" Tang Qi interrupted.
Lu Zhe: "Okay, Little Candy, do you want to play a game now?"
Tang Qi glanced at him: "Will you play with me?"
Lu Zhe: "Then what else? Tell me, what do you want to do today?"
Tang Qi stared at the game console, lost in thought.

The game ended around 10 p.m.
Tang Qi turned off the game console and went back to her room to wash up and go to bed.
Lu Zhe also returned to his bedroom, but just as he picked up his toothbrush, another beautiful figure appeared.
It was Xue Xiaodie who arrived.
When the girl came in, she closed the door behind her, went to his side, and looked in the mirror.
Their eyes met in the mirror.
Lu Zhe's eyes held a hint of doubt, wondering about the girl's intentions. Xue Xiaodie, on the other hand, had a faint smile in her eyes, clearly having something to say.
Then she said, "Little Rainbow already knows about you doing the laundry."
Lu Zhe frowned slightly, his confusion deepening: "Washing clothes?"
Xue Xiaodie: "It's like money laundering, disguising clothes that are inconvenient to take out as things you bought yourself, that's..."
Lu Zhe flicked his finger, and the toothbrush fell into the sink, making a few crisp sounds.
He looked utterly astonished: "How did you know?!"
Xue Xiaodie sighed: "That's why you need to hide things better. Your wardrobe door wasn't closed properly, and Xiao Caitang found it with just a glance. Don't think Xiao Caitang is stupid; she's not stupid at all. Besides, every girl becomes especially clever and perceptive when it comes to her loved one."
Lu Zhe stood with his hands on the edge of the pool, speechless with astonishment.
Xue Xiaodie smiled at his reflection in the mirror and whispered, "So, Xiao Caitang has already figured out what's going on and even asked me for advice on what to do."
"Then..." Lu Zhe's voice trembled slightly, "What did you say?"
Xue Xiaodie: "I told her that there's no need to argue about temporary gains and losses. Rather than making you angry and drive you away, it's better to be more tolerant and not annoy you. Of course, this means that Xiao Caitang's own feelings won't be able to be vented, which will be worse, but I've almost calmed her down."
Lu Zhe: "You, you've made her happy?"
Xue Xiaodie bit her lip, as if remembering something, and nodded again: "Yes, Xiao Caitang is actually quite easy to coax. After all, she's been socially awkward since she was little, so she's quite simple-minded, can't keep secrets, and doesn't hold grudges. You probably noticed tonight that she was in a rather low mood. But when she wakes up tomorrow morning, I think you'll see a cute girl full of energy."
Lu Zhe was initially relieved, but after that relief came a strong sense of unease.
Logically speaking, Xue Xiaodie and Tang Qi should be rivals in love, but... can rivals in love coax each other? One girl helped him smooth things over with another girl who was angry. This just doesn't seem right.
Lu Zhe stared intently at the beautiful face in the mirror, at those gentle, watery peach blossom eyes. At that moment, Xue Xiaodie stood to his side and slightly behind, standing straight, not making contact with him, and maintaining a distance of about half a meter. This gave him a strange feeling.
The illusion is that this exceptionally sensible girl is not someone he is having an affair with, but rather a wise and loyal housekeeper or knight-errant by his side.
Lu Zhe subconsciously shook his head, temporarily setting aside what seemed like an overly beautiful delusion.
Then he turned around, his gaze traveling from the girl's feet up to her face. She still looked slender and fair-skinned, clearly not having done any physical exercise, and appeared quite frail. However, in Lu Zhe's eyes, this delicate figure possessed a kind of hardness and reliability, like a stone sculpture.
Xue Xiaodie tilted her head: "Any other questions?"
Lu Zhe's throat moved, but he didn't say anything.
Xue Xiaodie gazed at him quietly, a gentle smile still on her face.
After a long pause, Lu Zhe suddenly asked, "And how do you feel?"
Xue Xiaodie countered, "What kind of feeling do you hope I will have?"
Lu Zhe: "I just want to know your truest feelings."
Xue Xiaodie raised her face to look at the ceiling, thought for a moment, and then looked down at him again.
The girl smiled and said, "My feeling is that you must be working really hard."
Lu Zhe: "Me?"
A scumbag who tries to have his cake and eat it too must have had a tough time. But even he himself feels too ashamed to say it out loud.
However, Xue Xiaodie said, "Seeing how hard you're working, I think I'd like to try to help you out."
