Why are you wearing Shengsheng's clothes

Su Bai took a moment to figure out the reasoning behind the blindfold.

It was basically burying one's head in the sand.

Still, it wasn't a bad idea. Su Bai pictured it: Haji Yang's pure, sweet features contrasted with a solid black blindfold. *Hiss*... somehow, that was incredibly turning him on.

"Wear it. You absolutely have to wear it!" Su Bai nodded frantically. That sort of thing definitely buffed attack speed, meow.

The "battle" would be exhilarating. Those little atmospheric touches really did make a difference.

The act itself was just that—an act. Without a bit of flair, it could easily get repetitive. Some people solved the boredom by swapping partners. While Su Bai certainly had plenty of options to swap between, S-tier goddesses were a scarce resource. He had to savor every single one of them meticulously.

However, before he could put the blindfold on Haji Yang, Su Bai had to help her pick out a swimsuit.

"A swimsuit?"

"Yeah. Unless... were you planning on wearing nothing at all to soak in the tub with me? I have a feeling you wouldn't be able to handle that."

"Mm... I guess I'll wear a swimsuit then. Why didn't you say so earlier, Su Bai? If I'd known, I would have brought one."

"Wait, you actually have women's swimsuits on hand?"

Su Bai was shocked.

Damn it, Haji Yang, you little rascal. Don't you usually go out dressed as a boy? Where exactly were you planning to wear a women's swimsuit, I'd like to know?

Haji Yang answered shyly, "It was after... after we became close. One day I was browsing online, saw some cute ones, and bought a few just for fun. *Whimper*... I was planning to wear them for you, you dummy~"

"I see. Well, it's not a big deal. I have all kinds of swimsuits here. You're about the same height as Sheng Sheng, and you both have that slender build. Just pick one of hers to wear."

To be honest, aside from her chest being bigger than Sheng Sheng's, it should be a perfect fit.

Then again, swimsuits were quite stretchy, so that one minor issue wasn't really an issue at all.

Su Bai waited for a while. When Haji Yang reappeared in front of him, he deliberately gasped, "Haji Yang, why are you wearing Sheng Sheng's clothes?"

"Huh? Didn't you tell me to..." Haji Yang paused, then realized Su Bai was making a reference to a meme. She giggled and swatted him. "I am not trying to be a seductress."

"Come on, open the towel and let me see. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. How will I know if you're seductive or not until I see it?"

Su Bai and Haji Yang playfully wrestled for a bit before he finally managed to peel away the bath towel she had wrapped tightly around herself in shyness, revealing the prize beneath.

*Tsk, tsk*...

It had to be said—tall girls with great proportions wearing one-piece swimsuits really had a unique charm.

Especially in such an elegant, clean style.

Su Bai couldn't help but imagine Haji Yang and Sheng Sheng wearing similar swimsuits, playing with him on the beach.

One cool and glamorous, the other pure and innocent.

Both with god-tier long legs and waists small enough to hold in one hand.

It would be simply invincible.

Su Bai felt it wouldn't be too difficult to achieve. He just needed to let them play video games together more often to bond.

"Su Bai, what are you thinking about?"

"After everything, you're still calling me Su Bai? You could change the form of address, you know."

"Mm..."

What should she call him?

Haji Yang racked her brain for a while but couldn't think of anything unique. The thing was, unique was easy, but it didn't always roll off the tongue.

In the end, she chose...

"Hubby~"

The tiny voice, paired with her shy yet gentle demeanor, made Su Bai very satisfied.

This was how Haji Yang was supposed to be—a sweet, soft, adorable girl.

Now Su Bai was actually a bit glad. Liu Chenhu had raised his daughter the right way. If you looked at it from another angle, if she had been raised as a delicate little princess from childhood, she would have been strictly supervised. Su Bai wouldn't have had the chance to play with her in the bathroom late at night.

Not bad at all, meow.

He glanced at the bathtub; it was already filled with hot water, and the rising steam was gradually filling the entire bathroom.

"I should put on the blindfold, um, and then get in the water..."

Haji Yang mumbled nervously, sounding like a girl reciting the operating procedures during her first driving lesson.

Once the blindfold was on, her inability to see only heightened her nervousness, so she had to cling tightly to Su Bai.

That look of dependency intoxicated Su Bai even more.

...

The next day.

Early morning.

"Junior, who's using the guest room on the north side? Did we have a guest over last night?"

Su Bai had just returned from a morning swim and felt refreshed.

He was enjoying swimming more and more lately. It was mainly due to his body after its second enhancement; he felt like a torpedo in the water. The joy of defying human limits was truly addictive.

No wonder so many villains in action stories were obsessed with the pursuit of power.

This power... it was genuinely enjoyable.

As he was rummaging through the fridge for a drink, Su Bai heard Senior Sister Lu asking from behind him.

She wore a teasing smile on her face. Obviously, she already knew who was sleeping in that guest room, but she was pretending ignorance just to mess with Su Bai.

"Oh, Haji Yang came over last night to take a bath with me."

"...Haji Yang relies on you that much, Junior? She can't even be apart from you for a bath? My, my, it really is out with the old and in with the new. Now that you have a new sister, the old ones have fallen out of favor..."

"I'm going to puke. Your acting needs some work, Senior Sister Lu." Su Bai laughed heartily. "If Zhang Emo saw this performance, he'd probably get depressed."

"Hehe, you bad boy. Playing so wild with her in secret... You haven't even taken me into the bathroom to experience the swimsuit treatment yet."

"We can do that anytime. If you're up for it, I can make it up to you right now."

Su Bai made a move to pick her up, causing Senior Sister Lu to quickly beg for mercy.

"No, no, no! Let's stick to serious business. You have a basketball game today, remember? You need to save your energy. I heard today's opponents are really strong."

"That's true."

If Senior Sister Lu hadn't reminded him, Su Bai would have forgotten he had a game today.

Of course, even without her reminder, Su Bai would have received a notification from his teammates after breakfast.

He hadn't really felt like eating at the hotel restaurants lately. He'd had plenty of breakfasts at both the Chinese and Western restaurants. How to put it... they were exquisite, sure, but the flavors were a bit bland. They were too refined. No wonder rich people always looked like they had poor appetites.

Breakfast had to be street-food style... though the quality of the ingredients could be maxed out.

Today's menu was Senior Sister Lu's own independent invention: Southwest Red Sour Soup flavored Crab Roe Buns.

It sounded a bit like "dark cuisine"—a culinary disaster waiting to happen—but apparently, it was delicious. While Su Bai and Haji Yang were at the club last night, Senior Sister Lu had made a test batch at home. Chen Yusheng had tasted them and said they were amazing.

That was good enough. When it came to spicy food, Chen Yusheng's taste was always on point, and Su Bai trusted her judgment.

In that case, he was definitely going to feast on today's breakfast.

In addition to that, the Wan Sisters were working alongside Senior Sister Lu in the kitchen, whipping up a pot of Chaoshan-style seafood claypot porridge.

The ingredients came directly through the hotel's supply chain, which saved a lot of trouble and was very reliable.

After all, the supply channels of a major luxury hotel brand were guaranteed to have high quality.
