Douluo Continent: After their charm was maxed out, they became simps.

Chapter 38 is over. There's a Qian Renxue hiding in the house, and Dugu Yan is coming to check on things!

"Huh? Where did they go? Where did they go?"

When Xia Bai returned to the door after retrieving the book, he found that Dugu Yan was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, in a certain room.

Dugu Yan leaned against the door, breathing heavily.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt very nervous, so she ran back.

"Oh no! I forgot to give him the book!"

Dugu Yan looked at the book in her arms and stomped her foot in anger.

"Damn it, what's wrong with me? Why am I suddenly afraid to see him?"

Dugu Yan sat at the table and took a sip of her cool tea to calm her agitation.

"Never mind, I'll give it back to him next time."

After muttering something to herself, Dugu Yan put her hand on her arm and couldn't help but recall the scene of meeting Xia Bai just now. The corners of her mouth turned up imperceptibly, revealing a slight smile.

A few days later.

Inside the training field.

After the Royal Fighting Team finished their afternoon training, Ye Lingling found Dugu Yan and asked in a low voice.

"Vice-captain, um...did you give him that book?"

Dugu Yan looked somewhat embarrassed after hearing Ye Lingling's words.

These past few days she's wanted to return the book to Xia Bai, but every time she gets to the door...

My heart suddenly started pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

She was feeling dizzy, and then she came back.

The book was thus delayed in reaching Xia Bai.

"Uh! Tonight! I'll deliver it to you tonight," Dugu Yan hurriedly said, patting her chest.

He gave me a look that said, "You can rest assured and leave everything to me!"

Seeing this, Ye Lingling gave a soft "hmm".

At the same time, I also felt a little shy.

After Dugu Yan saw that the matter was settled, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

At the same time, he secretly cheered himself on, determined to successfully deliver the book to Xia Bai this time.

Before long, night quietly descended.

Inside a luxury villa.

Xia Bai was standing in front of the desk, holding a calligraphy brush, and began to write calligraphy in a graceful and flowing style.

Just as Xia Bai wrote the word "handsome," a series of urgent shouts suddenly came from outside the tightly closed window.

"Young Master Xia! Why did you lock the window?! Open the door for me! It's me, Qian Renxue!"

"Young Master Xia! Young Master Xia!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's anxious voice outside the door, Xia Bai wrote down the last character "比" with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad at all. It seems my calligraphy has improved a bit more!"

Xia Bai carefully examined the calligraphy on the table, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

There was also a sudden silence outside the window.

It seems that Qian Renxue has left!

However, just as Xia Bai was in a great mood and preparing to write another piece of calligraphy.

The tightly closed door was suddenly flung open, and Xia Bai was tackled to the ground by Qian Renxue's "Wild Boar Thrust".

Qian Renxue nestled her beautiful face against Xia Bai's chest, her expression full of enjoyment.

She hadn't smelled Young Master Xia's scent for so many days, so she needed to recharge for a while.

Xia Bai looked at the "little white pig" in front of him and said with some helplessness:

"How did you get into my house?"

Hearing Xia Bai's question, Qian Renxue tilted her head back, chuckled, and said:

"Because I know how to pick locks!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's answer, Xia Bai's lips twitched slightly.

Picking the lock?

You actually know how to do this?!

"Get off me!" Xia Bai said helplessly, looking at Qian Renxue who was clinging to him like an octopus.

"Mmm~ I haven't smelled your scent for days, just let me smell it a little longer!" Qian Renxue said in a coquettish tone.

She buried her little head inside Xia Bai's clothes, her face full of enjoyment.

For some reason, I suddenly became obsessed with Xia Bai's scent.

His scent was also very unique, and it was incredibly addictive.

Just like a smoker, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't smoke for a day.

That woman is a total psychopath!

Xia Bai looked at Qian Renxue in front of him and couldn't help but think to himself.

Qian Renxue is seriously poisoned!

Xia Bai quickly pushed and pulled Qian Renxue, trying to get up from the ground.

But Qian Renxue refused to give in, like a sloth, hooking her legs around Xia Bai's waist and burying her head inside Xia Bai's clothes.

Just as Xia Bai was trying his best to pry the sloth down, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Young Master Xia! I've come to return the book!"

Hearing Dugu Yan's voice downstairs, Xia Bai's expression suddenly changed in surprise.

Why did she suddenly appear at this time!

No, I can't let her see Qian Renxue in my room!

Otherwise, I, a mere cucumber-like young man, would truly be unable to explain myself!

After a moment of thought, Xia Bai decided to hide Qian Renxue.

But there wasn't much room in his room where someone could hide, which made him a little anxious.

Oh right! How could I have forgotten that!

It's just right for hiding people.

Xia Bai's eyes lit up, and he reached out and tickled Qian Renxue's foot, breaking her sloth posture.

Then, in a princess carry, he picked her up and tossed her onto the large bed not far away.

Qian Renxue was also taken aback by Xia Bai's sudden action.

Immediately afterwards, her face turned bright red.

She had also read some Yellow books, and the male and female protagonists in those books took the same first step.

Could it be... that Young Master Xia wants to...?

Thinking about this, Qian Renxue felt both shy and a little excited.

Young Master Xia! Come on! I'm ready!

Please don't pity me!

Qian Renxue kept her eyes tightly closed, waiting for Xia Bai's next move.

However, Xia Bai suddenly covered Qian Renxue with a thick blanket.

"You stay here quietly and don't make a sound."

Before Qian Wanxue could react, she was enveloped in bedding that smelled of Xia Bai.

She was immediately captivated by the space filled with Xia Bai's scent, unable to extricate herself.

Xia Bai quickly adjusted his clothes, stood in front of the desk, and pretended to be practicing calligraphy.

Downstairs, Dugu Yan finally mustered up a great deal of courage, but seeing that Xia Bai remained silent, she felt a little angry.

So she simply pushed open the door and went inside.

Go up the stairs to the second floor.

She then saw the figure of the person she had been longing for inside the room.

Xia Bai, dressed in white, stood in front of a desk.

He held a calligraphy brush in one hand and rolled up his sleeve with the other.

The brush tip dances across the rice paper like a waterfall in the deep mountains, stirring the heart with emotion.

Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned by what she saw.

After waiting for a while, Xia Bai finally stopped writing and put the brush back.

"Why are you here?"

Xia Bai turned to look at Dugu Yan, who was standing there in a daze, and asked.

Upon hearing Xia Bai's voice, Dugu Yan finally came to her senses.

"I...I'm here to give you a book!"

Dugu Yan blushed and quickly handed the book in her hand to Xia Bai.

Xia Bai took it and nodded.
