Zang City.

Hotel suite, bathroom.

In the spacious hot spring pool, Ma Li, BB, Bahuang Yao, and Chen Siwen were each sitting in a corner, enjoying the pleasure brought by the hot water.

“I didn’t expect such a remote and dilapidated hotel to have such a high-end bathtub.”

Chen Siwen’s mouth spouted orchids as she hid in the water below her neck. Her eyes narrowed into a line. “I suddenly like this place.”

“The hotel was destroyed because there hadn’t been any human habitation in the Hidden City for a long time,” Ma Li explained. “When it was at its peak, this hotel was considered a five-star hotel. It had all sorts of facilities.”

“Yeah.” Chen Siwen nodded. She felt so good that she was snoring. “It’s comfortable.”

“Are you all very comfortable?” Floating on the surface of the water, BB tilted her head. “Do humans like to soak in hot water?”

“This isn’t called hot water.” Chen Siwen opened her eyes and corrected him. “This is called a hot spring.”

“It’s obviously normal hot water,” BB retorted.

“But soaking in it is called a hot spring.”

“…Alright.” BB nodded. As she swam, she organized her thoughts in her mind. ‘So humans like to soak in hot water.’

“Then they would probably like to soak in boiling water even more…”

With this thought in mind, BB lowered her head into the water and bubbled.

“Speaking of which, are you all familiar with Duan Ye?” Chen Siwen raised her arms and placed them by the marble pool. She glanced at Ma Li and Bahuang Yao. “He seems to be very cool. One look and you can tell that he’s a super villain.”

“I’m not very familiar with him.” Ma Li looked at Bahuang Yao. “But Xiao Yao, Brother Yu, and Duan Ye, they used to be in the same class. Xiao Yao should understand him.”

With half of her face buried in the water, Bahuang Yao, who had a perfume bag on top of her head, looked depressed. “Gulp, gulp, gulp? Gulp, gulp.”

Chen Siwen said, “Please show your mouth before you say anything.”

“Oh.” Coming back to her senses, the young girl raised her height slightly. “Duan… Duan Ye is in the same class as us.”

“Did they fall out later?” Chen Siwen raised her eyebrows.

“…Yes. I guess so.”

“So he came to cause trouble for my Chen Yu?”

“No… No.” Bahuang Yao waved his hand. “Duan Ye just broke up with the authorities. The three of us… Well, Duan Ye and Brother Yu have a pretty good relationship in private.”

“Then why did he come to cause trouble for Xiao Yu this time?” Chen Siwen was displeased.

“I don’t know.” The girl lowered her head.

“You’re Xiao Yu’s fiancée. It’s impossible that you don’t know anything about it, right?”

“I… I really don’t know…”

“Is that so?” Chen Siwen crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I don’t believe it.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“Sister Chen, you might not know much about Chen Yu.” Ma Li spread her hands. “If that person doesn’t want to tell other people secrets, it’s impossible for other people to know.”

“What? I don’t know Chen Yu? I’m his sister. I’m his biological sister. I can’t… Hmm.” Chen Siwen suddenly reacted. She was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes, I really don’t know him.”

From the time of the College Entrance Examination.

She realized that she no longer knew Chen Yu…

“How about…”

After a long while, Chen Siwen narrowed her eyes and looked at the women. “What about the three of us sharing information?”

“Sharing information?” Ma Li was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“A person has different words, actions, and attitudes when facing different people.” Chen Siwen raised an index finger. “So, as long as we share the secrets that we know about Chen Yu, we might be able to dig out a bigger secret.”

“This…” Bahuang Yao hesitated. “This isn’t good for Brother Yu.”

“There’s nothing bad about it. Everyone can see that our Xiao Yu is in trouble now. We’re helping him.”

“Sure.” A sly glint flashed across Ma Li’s eyes. She nodded without hesitation. “This is a good thing. I’ll join.”

“What about you?” Chen Siwen looked straight at Bahuang Yao.

“I… I… I still won’t join…”

“I have to reconsider your marriage.”

“I’ll participate.” The girl nodded decisively.

“What about BB?” Chen Siwen swept her gaze across the surface of the water.

Splash!

BB popped her head out and raised her hand. “I’ll join as well.”

“Alright then.” Chen Siwen rubbed her hands. “Let’s start with Ma Li first. Each of us will share one of Chen Yu’s secrets.”

“Should I go first?” Ma Li raised her head and pondered. “Hmm… as far as I know, his biggest secret is… Oh right, do you guys know Bai Jiaxuan?”

“Bai Jiaxuan?” Chen Siwen was slightly taken aback. “Is he the male lead in ‘White Deer Plains’?”

“Yes.” Ma Li said in all seriousness, “In ‘White Deer Plains’, Bai Jiaxuan has killed seven wives.”

“Why?” Bahuang Yao was stunned.

Chen Siwen said, “Because his thing is too big.”

Ma Li said, “He can wrap it around your waist.”

Chen Siwen said, “To have a poisonous hook on your head.”

Ma Li: “A scourge to the entire family.”

Chen Siwen: “A peach blossom on a human face.”

Ma Li: “An assassination in bed.”

Chen Siwen: “Leaving a scar after the event.”

Ma Li: “You exaggerate.”

“…” BB was confused.

“…” Bahuang Yao’s face was as white as wax.

In the bathroom, there was a strange and long silence.

After a long while.

Chen Siwen looked at Ma Li. “So, what do you think the main character in ‘White Deer Plain’ is for?”

Ma Li explained seriously, “Because Brother Yu is the main character in White Deer Plain.”

After saying that, Chen Siwen narrowed her eyes and sized up Ma Li.

Bahuang Yao’s face turned even paler.

“So…”

The young girl was dazed. ‘Brother Yu didn’t want to…’

‘He did it to protect me.’

‘…’

‘Brother Yu…’

Standing up in the bath, Chen Siwen stroked her chin. “Ma Li, about Xiao Yu… Hmm, how did you know about his physiological problems? Did you have any special relationship with him?”

“Nonsense!” Ma Li said, “The people of all ethnic groups in the country know about that.”

The girls: “…”

“Then… um… then don’t talk about such embarrassing things.” Chen Siwen’s face was slightly red, and she changed the direction. “Change it to Chen Yu’s personality.”

“Should I go first?” Ma Li asked.

“I’ll go first this time.” Chen Siwen cleared her throat and said seriously, “On my side, Chen Yu is a willful, brainless, reckless, paranoid, autocratic, and sneaky person.”

“Me! I’m next!” BB raised her hand excitedly. “In my eyes, my Lord is a gentle, kind, courageous, thoughtful, and righteous perfect human being.”

Ma Li said, “He’s mysterious, cold, profound, and temperamental.”

Bahuang Yao said, “Brother Yu… Brother Yu is considerate, careful, responsible, and full of security.”

Chen Siwen: “…”

The three women: “…”

“What kind of person is he?” x4

After speaking in unison, the room fell into silence once again.

About five minutes later.

Ma Li got up and jumped out of the bathtub. She wiped the water off, put on her bathrobe, and pushed the door open. “It’s boring. There’s no point in continuing this discussion. I’m leaving first.”

Huala.

BB also stood up and clumsily climbed out of the bathtub. “The motherboard is flooded. I’m leaving.”

Bahuang Yao was about to stand up as well, but Chen Siwen pressed her down. “Don’t go.”

“Ah?” The girl was at a loss.

“I want to ask you something.”

As she said that, Chen Siwen turned her head and watched BB stagger away. She moved closer to Bahuang Yao and said seriously, “Xiao Yao, how far have you and my Xiao Yu progressed?”

“We… We…” The girl’s skin turned red.

“Did you spend the night?”

“No!”

“That’s good.” She reached out and patted Bahuang Yao’s slender shoulder. Chen Siwen’s gaze was complicated. “Xiao Yao, remember to call the ambulance in advance when you need it.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“Alright, that’s all I want to say. You can go.”

“Okay. Thank you, Sister.”

Bahuang Yao bowed slightly, and the fragrance sachet fell from her head.

As a martial artist, she reacted quickly and immediately reached out to receive it.

However, there was someone who reacted faster and grabbed the fragrance sachet first.

“I just entered the bathroom and found you wearing this thing.” Chen Siwen tilted her head and shook the fragrance sachet. “What’s this?”

“I… I was afraid that I would fall into the water, so I put it on top of my head.” The girl blinked. “Sister, can you return it to me?”

“Of course.” Chen Siwen handed the sachet to the girl. In the process, she couldn’t hide her curiosity. She pulled the string of the sachet and glanced inside. Her body shook violently. “Spirit Enhancement Pills?!”

“AH…”

“Three?!” Chen Siwen was shocked. “Do you sell wholesale Spirit Enhancement Pills? Why do you have them all over your body?”

The girl did not reply. She took the sachet shyly and hugged it to her chest.

“Xiao Yao.”

Chen Siwen’s eyes rolled twice. She moved closer and caressed the girl’s smooth skin. “What do you think of Sister Chen?”

“…” Bahuang Yao’s mouth was bitter. “Sister… Sister Chen is very good.”

“Xiao Yao, you are my younger sister-in-law. Of course I am good to you. But…”

…

Ten minutes later.

Chen Siwen was wearing a bathrobe and holding two Spirit Enhancement Pills in her hands. She skipped to Chen Yu’s door and danced excitedly.

Bang! Bang!

“Chen Yu, open the door! Open the door quickly!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a long while, the door opened cautiously. Chen Yu stuck out half of his face with an unfriendly look. “What are you doing? It’s the middle of the night.”

“Quick, let me in and I’ll give you something good.”

After saying that, Chen Siwen squeezed in without any explanation. She pushed her butt against the door and handed two Spirit Enhancement Pills to Chen Yu. She said excitedly, “Look! What are these?!”

Chen Yu: “Spirit Enhancement Pills…”

“I got them for you. Aren’t they amazing?” Chen Siwen was unusually excited and her face was flushed. “You just broke through to Level 3. Adding the three Spirit Enhancement Pills from yesterday, there are a total of five pills!”

“You snatched it from Xiao Yao again?” Chen Yu frowned.

“Sigh! How can the matter of relatives be called stealing? Moreover, she’s your fiancée. Isn’t it normal for her to pay a little for you?”

“That’s enough.” Chen Yu took the two Spirit Enhancement Pills and sighed. “I’ll take it. Don’t ask Xiao Yao for it again in the future. Can you have some face?”

“Yes, yes. Five Spirit Enhancement Pills are enough for you to advance to Level 5!”

“Go, go, go…”

After Chen Siwen left, she was satisfied.

Chen Yu placed the pills in front of his eyes and observed them for a moment. Then, he pushed open the window and flipped them out.

He climbed to the window of the second bedroom from outside the building and knocked on it lightly. “Xiao Yao?”

Pa!

The lights in the window immediately lit up.

Bahuang Yao pulled open the curtains and saw that it was Chen Yu. She hurriedly let him in. “Brother Yu, why did you come in through the window?”

“Shh.”

Making a silent gesture, Chen Yu squatted on the balcony and said, “Just now, did my sister ask you for Spirit Enhancement Pills again?”

“No… No.” Bahuang Yao hesitated for a while and shook her head repeatedly.

Bang!

Chen Yu’s head exploded. He laid his head on the young girl’s forehead. “Are you stupid? You even lied to me? You can’t let her fool you again next time.”

“Brother Yu… You know?”

“Of course. I always pay attention to you. I will definitely be the first to know what you have suffered.”

“…”

Upon hearing this, the young girl was so touched that she bit her lips. “Brother Yu…”

“Good girl.”

Chen Yu revealed a thoughtful smile as he reached out to stroke the young girl’s fluffy head. “The thing that goes into my sister’s pocket is equivalent to falling into a black hole. There’s no way to snatch it back.”

“I know.” Bahuang Yao lowered her head. “I… I didn’t want it either… It’s just that those two pills were given to me by Brother Yu last night. I…”

“It’s alright.” Covering the young girl’s slightly sobbing mouth, Chen Yu flipped his right hand and conjured two pills out of thin air. “Here.”

“This… This Is…”

“Yes, Spirit Enhancement Pills. Since the two pills I gave you last night were ‘cheated’ out of you, I’ll give you two more.”

“No… No way!” Bahuang Yao retreated. “Absolutely not! Brother Yu, you also need resources for cultivation. You’ve already given me three pills, so I can’t give you any more.”

“I do care about cultivation, but…” Chen Yu’s tone was faint. “I care more about you.”

BB: “…”

“Brother Yu…” The girl’s nose was sore, and her eyes were moist.

She had grown up in the cold and dark all her life, but now she felt the increasingly warm sunlight…

‘Mom…’

‘Is this happiness…’

Looking at the weeping Bhang Yao, Chen Yu put the two Spirit Enhancement Pills into the girl’s hands and clenched them tightly. “Take them.”

“Brother Yu…”

“Be good.”

“I… I… I like…”

“Shh.” The corner of Chen Yu’s mouth rose on his plain face. “Everything is in silence.”

After saying that, he retreated and gracefully jumped out of the window, disappearing from Bahuang Yao’s increasingly blurry vision.

BB: “…Clearly.”

“Ah?” Bahuang Yao came back to her senses. “What?”

“Your dog food.” BB was expressionless. “I saw it clearly again.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Creak —

At this moment, the door of the two people’s second bedroom was gently pushed open. Chen Siwen poked her head in and looked around. “Eh? I think I heard someone talking just now? Didn’t you guys sleep?”

“No.” Bahuang Yao was nervous and subconsciously hid the pills behind her.

But it was already too late.

Chen Siwen, who had sharp eyes, became alert. She took a big step forward and snatched the two Spirit Enhancement Pills. She was overjoyed. “Little Yao, you actually have so many?”

Bahuang Yao: “…Sob.”

“That’s great. How many do you have now?”

“I… I have… Six.” The young girl said the truth.

“You still have six pills?! Awesome! Can you give me two more? I’ll save them for your child to use in the future.”

“I…”

“Thank you! Xiao Yao, I love you!”

As she said that, Chen Siwen excitedly kissed Bahuang Yao on the cheek and turned around to run.

“…”

Bahuang Yao: “Ah…”

BB: “…Don’t cry.”

Bahuang Yao: “Blood.”

Bang! Bang!

Ten minutes later, the window was knocked again.

The two women turned their heads and saw Chen Yu half-squatting with two pills in his hands. He silently said, “Xiao Yao~”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

BB: “….Are the two of you exchanging favorability ratings?”
