"I'm done washing up."

Yurihana Hyakuryo emerged from the bathroom, dressed in a cream-colored skirt with cute ruffles on the collar, sleeves, and hem, paired with matching calf-length pajama bottoms.

Because she had just showered, her skin was fair with a rosy glow, appearing exceptionally soft and supple.

Furthermore, her hat and eye mask had been removed, and her twin tails were undone, transforming into a flowing, shoulder-length hairstyle.

'No! Who are you, beautiful lady!'

Lu Ping'an's eyes widened slightly.

Baihe Ling in a Gothic Lolita dress was cute, but the pajama-limited edition was astonishingly beautiful!

She was simply a super beauty!

Speaking of which, her setting seemed to be that of a super beauty anyway...

Lu Ping'an suddenly felt a flutter in his heart.

"Ahem, Lu Jun, you can go wash up now if you want."

Seeing Lu Ping'an staring at her in her pajamas with wide, surprised eyes, Garden Yurihana felt inexplicably a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and hurried to the bedroom.

"Okay."

Breathing in the lingering scent as she passed by, Lu Ping'an responded, got up to charge his tablet — the battery was low — then took out newly bought underwear from the shopping bag beside him and headed to the bathroom.

Actually, cohabiting with a girl was a bit inconvenient.

Of course, couples were an exception.

As Lu Ping'an reached the bathroom, he caught a whiff of fragrance coming from the shower area.

He casually closed the door and subconsciously looked at the dirty laundry basket by the bathroom door.

Garden Yurihana's underwear and stockings were well hidden beneath her Gothic Lolita dress — Lu Ping'an naturally wouldn't go through someone's underwear or secretly sniff stockings; that would be too perverted!

Calmly placing his own boxers on the shelf, then brushing his teeth and washing his face, he entered the shower, first standing under the showerhead to rinse himself clean, then looking at the steaming, constant-temperature bathtub filled with a tub of green bathwater — Lu Ping'an hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, lifted his leg, and stepped into the tub.

"Mmm~~~~~, comfortable!"

The warm water enveloped his entire body, feeling cozy and very comfortable.

Taking a bath was indeed a very comfortable thing!

Lu Ping'an closed his eyes, leaning comfortably against the smooth tub wall, then pondered what to sell at his stall tomorrow.

More common items in Neon were ramen, skewers, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, Taiyaki, various dango, fried chicken nuggets, crepes, and so on.

This was what he had seen and heard tonight.

There were even more in Huaxia, with countless delicious snacks, so Lu Ping'an was quite conflicted for a while.

After much thought and consideration, taking into account various factors and existing conditions, he decided to sell Shumai for a few days first.

Southern Shumai with glutinous rice filling, and Northern Shumai with all-meat filling!

He would teach the Neon people a lesson!

He would let them witness the charm of Chinese cuisine!

As for the time, Lu Ping'an planned to arrange it for the evening.

He couldn't get up in the morning, it was too tiring, and he could bring Baihe Ling in the evening.

If he encountered a Ghoul, Baihe Ling would be there.

Lu Ping'an was not too confident about Jashin-chan; he always felt she was somehow unreliable.

Moreover, their current relationship wasn't great; hadn't she been calling him a traitor all along?

Having planned his short-term arrangements, Lu Ping'an got up and left the bathtub.

He dried himself with a towel, went outside to change into new underwear, and then came to the living room.

He burrowed into the fragrant bedding that Baihe Ling had made, picked up the tablet beside him, and shouted towards the bedroom: "Jashin-chan, you can go take a bath now."

As his voice fell, he heard the sound of a door opening.

Lu Ping'an, who had just lowered his head to look at the computer, raised his head for a glance, then continued to learn about this world through the tablet.

Noticing this, Jashin-chan snorted.

Lying in bed playing on the tablet had always been her privilege.

But now, the tablet was gone!

Damn traitor!

And bathing had become the third turn!

Feeling her family status had somewhat declined, Jashin-chan walked towards the bathroom very unhappily.

Lu Ping'an kept his eyes on the tablet the whole time, ignoring her impotent rage...

"..."

Upon reaching the bathroom—

Jashin-chan looked at the dirty laundry basket and suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

"That traitor... Hehe, let's frame him!"

Jashin-chan scurried over to the dirty laundry basket and pulled out someone's mysterious fabric.

She spat several times, then put on a look of great surprise, but couldn't maintain it, so she ran out, holding the mysterious fabric with an excited face:

"Oh no, Baihe Ling! That traitor actually took your 'beep beep beep—, beep beep beep—'!"

"Holy crap!"

Lu Ping'an looked on in stunned disbelief as Jashin-chan passed by him like a gust of wind, then he suddenly threw off the covers, picked up the pants beside him, and put them on, saying:

"I didn't! I didn't! She's framing me!"

Garden Yurihana, who was playing on her phone in bed, suddenly sat up in surprise, looking at Jashin-chan, who had pulled open the door, was holding her mysterious fabric, and had a gloating expression as she entered.

Then she heard Lu Ping'an's voice.

Garden Yurihana didn't know who was lying, but Jashin-chan was indeed capable of such shameless things, and as for Lu Ping'an...

She still didn't know much about Lu Ping'an.

Garden Yurihana's face turned red, she didn't know if it was from shame or anger, or perhaps both, she could feel her face rapidly heating up.

Lu Ping'an, now dressed in his clothes and pants, delivered a flying kick to Jashin-chan's back.

"To slander someone with something like this, you've gone too far!"

"Scum snake!"

Perhaps due to being too carried away and not being prepared for Lu Ping'an, Jashin-chan was unexpectedly kicked, falling face-first, and the mysterious fabric in her hand landed in front of Garden Yurihana.

Garden Yurihana took a look, then subtly sniffed it, and immediately knew who was lying.

Her face suddenly darkened, she threw off the covers, a low pressure emanating from her, and she stood up emotionlessly, looking down at Jashin-chan from above:

"Jashin-chan, you've really angered me this time! Have you thought about how you want to die?"

"Eh? N-no, it wasn't me! It was him! It was him!"

At death's door, Jashin-chan still tried to frame someone else, kneeling on Garden Yurihana's covers, pointing at Lu Ping'an behind her with a sweating forehead.

"Hmph."

Her response was Garden Yurihana's completely cold laugh.

The next moment—

"Go to hell!"

"Ah—!"

A human tragedy occurred in the room!

But Lu Ping'an felt a sense of relief.

He quietly exited the room, even thoughtfully closing the door for them.

"Serves her right! Jashin-chan!"

Lu Ping'an chuckled gloatingly, then took off his clothes and pants again, returned to bed, and continued to learn about this world through the tablet.
