Legs play years, one year is not enough, two years will do.

Su Xiyan glared fiercely at Chen Shuo: "If you keep looking, I'll gouge your eyeballs out!"

Chen Shuo deliberately stretched his neck: "Can I take a look first? I'll gouge them out myself after I'm done looking."

Su Xiyan's beautiful eyes sank: "You're asking for death!"

Her slender legs, exuding the fragrance of bath oil, sliced through the air.

In the presence of the formidable Su Xiyan, Chen Shuo's system was in a state of failure.

He instinctively took two steps back until his back was against the wall.

Su Xiyan stood on one leg, steady as a rock. Her other long leg kicked up to the level of Chen Shuo's head, pinning him against the wall with her thigh.

Chen Shuo felt unable to move, like a helpless little prey.

Su Xiyan folded her arms across her chest, blocking the unfathomable abyss that no one could tear their eyes from.

The curve of her legs was so smooth it was irresistible. Chen Shuo couldn't help but follow their movement with his eyes.

It looked like...a pink shade? With little dots and lace trim?

If looks could kill, Chen Shuo would have died countless times already.

He immediately closed his eyes: "I didn't see anything!"

Su Xiyan lowered her leg: "It had better stay that way."

"Otherwise..."

Chen Shuo promptly replied: "There won't be an otherwise, because there won't be a next time."

Only then was Su Xiyan satisfied. She strode lightly back to her bedroom.

Hearing the door of the master bedroom slam shut, Chen Shuo finally felt the tension leave his body.

He went to the secondary bedroom to grab a change of clothes, then headed to the bathroom to enjoy a nice hot shower.

The petty Su Xiyan had forbidden Chen Shuo from using her bathtub.

Had anyone ever heard of a man using the bathtub alone? Showering while singing and contemplating life was much more refreshing than soaking daintily in the tub, wasn't it?

The bathtub? Even if she asked me to use it, I wouldn't.

Of course, unless Su Xiyan was willing to join me in the tub.

Leaving aside Su Xiyan's slayer abilities, Chen Shuo felt her long legs and slender waist deserved some intimate exploration.

Playing with her legs for a year or two would suffice.

Entering the bathroom, Chen Shuo was greeted by a sweet, irresistible scent.

The shelves were filled with various fragrances, oils, body lotions and mysterious bottles and jars he didn't recognize or know the purpose of.

No wonder girls always smelled so nice--they were marinated in fragrance!

Chen Shuo tossed his discarded clothes randomly into the nearby hamper.

Glancing back, he noticed Su Xiyan's clothes were already inside.

Including her intimate apparel??

Chen Shuo retrieved his own clothes from the hamper and neatly replaced Su Xiyan's garments.

That woman held grudges over petty things and her moods swung wildly.

Best not to provoke her.

Turning on the showerhead, hot water came gushing out.

Chen Shuo began lathering up his hair, humming a tune.

As expected of a luxury residence, everything in the bathroom was top brand and customized. Compared to his college dorm bathroom, there was no comparison at all.

Through the steamy mist, Chen Shuo's gaze fell upon Su Xiyan's pink intimate apparel in the hamper again.

He had heard a woman's lingerie reflected her inner psyche.

Could it be that behind Su Xiyan's cool, aloof exterior dwelled the heart of a little princess?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Unless...Su Xiyan had a split personality.

Chen Shuo really couldn't reconcile the ruthless vampire-slaying Su Xiyan with a pink princess personality.

Recalling that Su Xiyan had previously instructed him to thoroughly clean and disinfect the bathtub, Chen Shuo figured she'd never know if he took some shortcuts.

Taking the showerhead, he leapt barefoot into the tub and gave it a quick rinse.

Su Xiyan's bathtub looked brand new without any stains. She'd never know if it was properly cleaned and disinfected or not.

After a satisfying hot shower, Chen Shuo felt completely rejuvenated.

By habit, he emerged from the bathroom wearing only his briefs. Then remembering he wasn't living alone with Su Xiyan anymore, he glanced down at his faintly visible six-pack abs and decided a little caution was prudent.

It was middle of the night, after all. Best to take precautions around violent older sister types.

So, he pulled a basketball jersey on over his briefs before exiting the bathroom.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Chen Shuo headed to the fridge for a drink.

Su Xiyan's fridge was a large double-door smart fridge with three levels.

Too bad it didn't contain so much as a single soda.

Chen Shuo had to settle for a chilled can of soda water, downing most of it in a few gulps.

Returning to the secondary bedroom, he threw his slightly weary body onto the plush, comfortable bed.

Sinking deeply into the soft bedding felt incredibly relaxing.

Reaching habitually for his phone, Chen Shuo ruefully recalled that his smashed screen was in no state to be used.

He'd have to get it fixed tomorrow after waking up.

It felt odd not fiddling with his phone before bed.

Chen Shuo picked up a book from the table and leafed through it half-heartedly.

His attributes as a slacker student were obvious - trying to read made him sleepy within minutes.

A short while later, Chen Shuo drifted off to dreamland.

Sometime in the middle of the night,

Chen Shuo was awakened by a full bladder.

Bleary-eyed, he groped his way to the bathroom.

While relieving himself, he suddenly heard the sound of the push-pull door sliding open behind him.

Startled, Chen Shuo instinctively glanced back.

And met Su Xiyan's eyes.

Several silent seconds later...

Chen Shuo was so shocked he nearly missed the toilet bowl completely.

Hastily, he zipped up his fly and pulled up his pants.

"You, you...don't you knock?!"

Su Xiyan immediately averted her beautiful eyes, instantly regaining her aloof demeanor. "This is my home. Why should I have to knock in my own home?"

Chen Shuo: "Um...okay, your place, your rules."

"You didn't see anything just now did you?"

Su Xiyan gave a disdainful snort. "What's there to see?"

Chen Shuo made a brisk beeline for the exit.

Just as he reached the doorway, Su Xiyan called out "Come back!"

Chen Shuo: "What now??"

"Didn't get a good enough look?"

Su Xiyan: "...You forgot to flush."

"Flush, then scrub it clean with the brush, spray disinfectant and air freshener, and you can come out when you're done."

With that, Su Xiyan wrinkled her nose and left the bathroom. Glancing back at the toilet, Chen Shuo realized he truly had forgotten to flush.

It was all Su Xiyan's fault for barging in without knocking, causing him to nearly make a mess.

That said...she probably...most likely...maybe...didn't actually see anything. Right??

Living with girls is such a hassle!!

A few minutes later, Chen Shuo had cleaned the bathroom to Su Xiyan's specifications.

Su Xiyan shot him a murderous glare before entering the bathroom herself and forcefully slamming the sliding door shut behind her. Chen Shuo looked on blankly. ??

Was it necessary to overreact like that? Clearly he was the injured party here!
