You'll support me, right

As it turned out, after An Shiyu took off her top, she was still wearing a swimsuit underneath.

“……” Ye Shuang was rendered speechless.

“You look kind of disappointed,” Anshi Yi said, planting one hand on her hip. Her swimsuit was actually a two-piece. In fact, it looked barely any different from underwear, though compared with underwear, the fabric of a swimsuit was smoother and slightly stiffer.

As for how much it covered, swimsuits could sometimes be even more daring.

“I’m not disappointed,” Ye Shuang said irritably. Truth be told, out of all the girls, he didn’t really react to either Anshi Yi or An Shiyu. The reason was simple—

He was desensitized.

Anshi Yi was always teasing him at the office, making suggestive jokes and taking liberties with him. Honestly, he had almost lost any thoughts in that direction, especially whenever he thought about her age. Although the body and mind the system had given Anshi Yi after reviving her were both those of an adult, Ye Shuang still found it difficult to entertain any worldly notions about her.

“My bathtub isn’t big enough for you to get in,” Ye Shuang said when he saw Anshi Yi looking eager to try.

“This bathtub could fit three people,” Anshi Yi replied, hugging her arms. “Brr, it’s cold.”

“……” Ye Shuang sighed. “Fine. Get in.”

He planned to help Anshi Yi bathe while he himself got up to change clothes.

However, just as he was about to do so, he suddenly realized that he wasn’t wearing any underwear while bathing. Ye Shuang immediately said, “Wait, don’t get in yet!”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud splash, and the water in the bathtub spilled over, splattering everywhere around them.

“The water temperature’s pretty nice. Does this bathtub have a massage function? It really does.” Anshi Yi pressed a button, then noticed that Ye Shuang had placed a towel over his thighs, apparently trying to cover something.

“What are you being so shy about? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before,” Anshi Yi said.

“When have you ever seen it?” Ye Shuang began, but then suddenly remembered that the videos of him and Chen Qin seemed to have been recorded. He took a deep breath. “Where’s Little Yu?”

“Little Yu…” Hearing that, Anshi Yi slightly raised her head as if looking toward some corner. Then she suddenly smiled and spread her hands. “Beats me.”

Ye Shuang followed her gaze. Other than the tiles, there was nothing there.

At that moment, Anshi Yi lifted one leg slightly, then suddenly slapped the water with it, splashing Ye Shuang directly in the face.

Ye Shuang: “……”

“Hahahahaha!”

Watching Anshi Yi fool around like a child, Ye Shuang had long since gotten used to it. After wiping the water from his face, he was just about to say something when he noticed Anshi Yi leaning toward him. They were so close that Ye Shuang instinctively leaned back.

“What are you doing?”

Anshi Yi looked at Ye Shuang with her bright eyes. A few droplets of water clung to her cheeks, giving her an indescribably adorable look.

“Mister, don’t you have any feelings for me?” Anshi Yi asked.

“What kind of feelings?”

“The kind where you go all the way. You know, pin me against the edge of the bathtub.”

“No.” Ye Shuang’s expression remained blank. If he actually did that, he had a feeling something bad would happen.

“Oh? Really? Don’t I have any charm at all?” Anshi Yi asked. “I think I’m pretty cute.”

“Your personality isn’t cute at all.”

“Tch.”

Anshi Yi moved even closer. The back of Ye Shuang’s hand could now brush against her leg, and Anshi Yi asked quite directly, “Let’s do it.”

Ye Shuang: “……”

“Bonk.”

Ye Shuang tapped Anshi Yi on the head.

“If you don’t want me to throw you out, then sit there properly. I can still wash your hair for you,” Ye Shuang said.

“Really?”

“Mm.”

Upon hearing that, Anshi Yi actually quieted down. She even shifted her position and sat on Ye Shuang’s thigh.

Seeing Anshi Yi settle down so obediently, Ye Shuang seemed somewhat surprised.

From behind, Anshi Yi’s hair was very long, much like Bai Yuyou’s. Ye Shuang reached out and touched it, but there was still a significant difference in texture. Yu You’s hair was softer and smoother.

“Why are you being so obedient all of a sudden?” Ye Shuang asked, seeing Anshi Yi remain unusually quiet. “You’re not plotting something, are you?”

“I’ve always been obedient,” Anshi Yi said when she noticed Ye Shuang had fallen silent. “Long hair is hard to take care of. It would be even better if you washed it and dried it for me.”

“If you don’t like having long hair, why not cut it back to the way it was?” Ye Shuang suggested.

“No.”

Anshi Yi’s answer was immediate.

“Long hair is pretty nice. Whether it’s the hair or this name…” Anshi Yi lowered her head and looked at the bathwater in front of her. She dipped her foot into it and stirred the water. “It makes me feel like I’m truly alive.”

“Is that so?” Ye Shuang merely smiled.

After all, Anshi Yi had once lived only as Little Yu’s shadow. Now, perhaps she was finally living as herself.

Thinking of that, Ye Shuang looked at Anshi Yi’s back and continued, “What do you want to do?”

“Hm?” Anshi Yi turned her head. “Do what?”

“Exactly. Since you and Little Yu are two different people now, there must be something you want to do, right?”

“Ehhhhh…” Anshi Yi suddenly smiled. “What’s this? Are you going to give me some kind of psychological counseling?”

“No. I just want to have a simple chat.”

Anshi Yi answered directly, “There’s nothing I particularly want to do. Life like this is already pretty good.”

“I used to live by all sorts of rules and restrictions. But now…” She scooped up some water and clenched her hand. “I can do whatever I want. It feels great.”

“I see…” Ye Shuang hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly noticed Anshi Yi move. She turned around, reached out, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Mister~”

Feeling the warmth of her cheek against his, Ye Shuang froze for a moment, only to see Anshi Yi smiling.

“If I want to do whatever I want, you’ll support me, right?” Anshi Yi asked softly.

“……”

The two of them were pressed together. Just as Ye Shuang was about to say something, a knock came from outside the door.

“Ye Shuang…”

Ye Shuang froze, then came back to his senses.

It was Yu You’s voice?

|•ω•`)

“Click.”

The bathroom door was pushed open, and Bai Yuyou’s head appeared through the gap.

“Ye Shuang, I want to bathe together.”

Ye Shuang: “?!”

“Th-that’s not— I…” Ye Shuang had just begun to speak when he noticed Anshi Yi had already slipped down into the bathtub.

“Yu You, I’m almost done. I was just about to get out.”

Bai Yuyou blinked her beautiful eyes. “Then can you stay and soak with me for a while?”

“Uh…” Ye Shuang was just about to say something when he noticed Anshi Yi’s hand beginning to move around mischievously.

What are you doing?!
