Lin Yi looked at the high-end, imposing bathroom and didn’t dare to walk in.
The bathroom had a semi-cave-like arched ceiling. White marble walls were inlaid with blue mosaics. Sunlight filtered through a small skylight overhead, falling onto the edge of a massive marble basin.
The blue ceramic washbasin and dried lavender on the countertop blended with the overall blue-and-white theme. Even the air carried a hint of coastal blues, presenting a minimalist style.
Beyond a frosted glass door, the actual bathroom lay. Pushing it open revealed a wide bathtub and a showerhead beside it.
“What are you blocking the door for?”
Jian Shuye stood right behind Lin Yi, trapping her between herself and the bathroom’s glass door.
Lin Yi froze, took a step back, leaned against the glass door, and stammered,
“Uh, well, I was wrong. A guest should follow the host’s lead. You should wash first.”
“You’re using ‘follow the host’s lead’ wrong, aren’t you?”
Jian Shuye gave her a brilliant eye roll, casually undoing the red ribbon she used as a hair accessory.
“Then what do you want…”
Jian Shuye unbuttoned her shirt and removed her red bow tie.
“Wash together.”
So direct!
So simple!
But Lin Yi couldn’t accept it.
She couldn’t guarantee she’d stay calm after seeing Jian Shuye’s body. She didn’t want to commit a crime. Really.
No joke, kill her now. This was the universe’s number one beautiful girl on the same level as her. In terms of figure and skin as white and soft as snow, she might even be a cut above.
What to do? Where’s the firefighter? Save me!
“Washing together… doesn’t seem right, does it?”
Lin Yi felt along the wall, slowly edging out of the bathroom.
“Why don’t you reconsider, ma’am? Let me go check if the fireplace can be lit or something…”
“Stop.”
Little Sister Lin Yi snapped to attention.
Jian Shuye put down the red ribbon. Wisps of dark hair slid over her shoulders as she bent forward. Her eyes had lost a bit of their coldness, gaining a hint of allure.
“What did you mean by ‘again’ just now?”
“A-again, again, again—to the right, haha, the dorm building is to the right!”
“I’ll count to three…”
“Spare me! I won’t say anything!”
Lin Yi clasped her hands together.
Jian Shuye took off her black knee-high socks, revealing a pair of pale, slender bare feet. They pressed against the volcanic ash tiles, bony and beautiful.
She walked over slowly, holding the black knee-high socks in her hand, tilting her chin up slightly.
“If you’re lying, I’ll stuff your mouth with these socks and make sure you never talk again.”
“Actually, I’m a space alien. What I meant by ‘again’ was that I have to save the Earth again.”
Lin Yi instantly switched to her battle face.
“Ha, so you can tell the truth after all.”
Jian Shuye casually tossed the socks into the basin.
“I’m not going to reward you.”
‘Tch, she saw through me.’
Jian Shuye combed her hair in front of the mirror, and at the same time, she looked at Lin Yi’s reflection in the mirror and sighed.
“Actually, I knew last time. That day during the typhoon, the school dormitory took in students who couldn’t get home. Your dorm also took someone in, right?”
“So you knew after all.”
“Did you contact your roommate? Oh, no, your fixed partner?”
Jian Shuye broke off a couple of strands of hair, feeling annoyed.
“About the fact that you’re not going back tonight.”
‘Why does she pronounce ‘fixed partner’ in such a weird way?’
Lin Yi tried to find an excuse to back out.
“Really? I didn’t bring any clothes. How about I go back and grab a set?”
“I have clothes here. Many sets.”
“Well, what about bedding and stuff? I’m afraid this place hasn’t been lived in for a while…”
“Don’t even think about it. Even if no one lives here, someone comes in to clean every day. My family isn’t short on money for a cleaning lady.”
‘Damn, every excuse has been shot down.’
What was going on? How did Lin Yi feel like she was being swallowed up by some mysterious force?
Jian Shuye finished combing her hair, turned around, and walked up to Lin Yi. All that was left was the white school uniform shirt on her upper body.
In a sense, this was Lin Yi’s favorite “boyfriend shirt style” from her past life. It was an unbeatable existence, even a step above the “nude apron.”
Especially those blood-pumping, slender, and well-proportioned long legs. The snow-white skin even shimmered with a faint light, making Lin Yi unable to look away.
No flaws at all!
Lin Yi’s hands were starting to disobey her. This was worse than last time. Back then, she and Feng Chuyue had only washed each other’s hair in the steamy bathroom, and nothing else happened.
The Moon God’s beauty was undeniable, but Yan Jianxing was outside at the time, and both of them were too shy and reserved to spark anything.
But now, Lin Yi was truly on the verge of losing control.
Jian Shuye was breathtakingly beautiful. Perhaps Lin Yi, even at her last moment with her eyes closed in this world, would still remember this perfect body carved by angels in this second.
She admitted she couldn’t hold herself together anymore.
Especially that soaked shirt, the vaguely visible silver-white lace bra, the snow-white long legs, and the crystal-clear toes.
Jian Shuye extended her index finger, lifted Lin Yi’s chin, and the smile on her face was slightly teasing.
The collarbone above the shirt was pale and delicate. Above the neck was a face that could dim countless beauties. Her deep, watery eyes were filled with Lin Yi’s cowering figure.
“Look at me.”
“Eek…”
Lin Yi squeezed her eyes shut.
Jian Shuye’s breath was like orchid fragrance.
“Now, how do you feel?”
“I… I don’t know.”
She didn’t dare to open her eyes at all. She was afraid that once she did, she’d be drawn to a certain pair of C’s.
Lin Yi really didn’t want to be a buzzkill, but there was no way out.
“Lin Yi, open your eyes. I don’t believe you have empty eyes.”
“I can’t.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I give you permission to open them.”
Jian Shuye’s tone was like a demon whispering.
“Really?”
“Mm-hmm. I won’t lie to you.”
Since she said that, as a real man, what was there to be afraid of?!
It’s just a Charm Rank A… no, in the boyfriend shirt style, Lin Yi was willing to temporarily give Jian Shuye a Charm Rank S-, which was already very high!
It’s just a Charm Rank S- universe’s number one beautiful girl. Lin Yi wasn’t afraid. She wasn’t afraid of anything anymore!
Whatever happened after she opened her eyes, Lin Yi didn’t care anymore.
Even her non-existent phantom limb had stood up. What was there to fear?!
Lin Yi gritted her teeth and suddenly opened her eyes. Then she saw the frosted glass door move twice. The beautiful figure in front of her had vanished without a trace.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lin Yi pushed open the frosted glass door and only saw the school uniform shirt she had been longing for, along with some things that absolutely could not be described in a novel, casually discarded on the floor.
A black shower curtain separated Lin Yi and Jian Shuye.
Lin Yi was stunned.
“Um…”
“I’ll soak in the tub. You can take a shower outside.”
Jian Shuye’s voice came from behind the shower curtain. It had returned to normal, not like the voice from when Lin Yi had closed her eyes—tinged with a tremor and seductive charm.
Damn you, Jian Shuye!
Aaargh!
Give me back my innocence! Give me back my feelings! Give me back my friendship!
Lin Yi leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down to sit on the floor. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
‘Her level is too high. I can’t beat her at her own game. Waaah, so embarrassing!’
Behind the shower curtain, Jian Shuye had already sprinkled in the fragrance and flower petals. Her flawless body sank into the clear, warm water, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was because the water temperature was just right, or the relaxed posture had eased her tense nerves, Jian Shuye closed her eyes.
It was a good thing the bathroom was now divided by the shower curtain. Only the warm lights in the four corners were on; the central main light wasn’t.
Lin Yi must not see Jian Shuye’s expression at this moment.
It was like the look in her eyes when she was slightly tipsy—half melancholy, half pleasure. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she slowly ran her hand over her neck.
The Ultimate Solution to All Problems, the young lady Jian Shuye, curled her lips into a smile of approximately twenty degrees.
