Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

Next, it's time to wash Lin Duo.

Unlike Lin Ya, Lin Duo was very well-behaved when taking a bath.

She curiously touched the shampoo bottle, smelled the fragrance, and asked one question after another:

"Master, why does this smell good?"

"Because it contains flavoring."

"What is flavoring?"

"...an extract."

"What is the extract?"

"..."

Lin Yu answered patiently, her movements gentle.

Lin Duo's hair was very long, and the orange strands spread out like seaweed in the water, requiring careful washing.

She seemed to enjoy being taken care of, her eyes squinting, and the tuft of hair on her head bobbing up and down.

"This..." She picked up a bottle of bubble bath gel, opened it, and smelled it. "It smells so good!"

Then, before anyone could react, she licked it.

"Don't--"

"Gurgle."

Lin Duo's expression instantly turned strange.

She opened her mouth, and a bubble floated out from between her lips.

"Hiccup." She hiccuped again, spitting out a string of small bubbles.

Lin Yu was both amused and exasperated: "That's for bathing, you can't eat it."

"Oh..." Lin Duo lowered her head awkwardly, her cheeks slightly flushed. "I'm sorry, Master..."

"It's okay." Lin Yu rinsed the foam off her hair with warm water. "Just remember next time."

"Okay, I've got it!"

Lin Duo nodded vigorously—

Although, given her memory, she'll probably forget it again soon.

Lin Duo, smelling fresh after her bath, was wrapped in a soft, large towel and dried off.

Lin Yu carried her back to the room and placed her on the bed.

"Will Master stay with me?" Lin Duo clutched Lin Yu's clothes, her eyes shining with anticipation under the night light.

"Wait until you fall asleep." Lin Yu sat on the edge of the bed.

Lin Duo closed her eyes contentedly, but opened them again after a while: "Master, I learned how to pick up peas with chopsticks today."

"That's impressive."

"It's still difficult... but I'll keep trying!"

"it is good."

"Although Sister Lin Xue looks fierce, she is actually very gentle."

"Um."

"I know that Sister Lin Ya bullies me when she plays games, but she wants to play with me."

"right."

"Sister Lin Shan isn't very talkative, but Sister Lin You always remembers what I like..."

Lin Duo's voice grew softer and softer, gradually turning into murmurs in her sleep.

She was still clutching Lin Yu's clothes, a sweet smile on her lips, as she drifted off to sleep.

Lin Yu gently pulled out a corner of her clothes to cover her with the blanket, and quietly left the room.

Next up is Lin Shan.

The blonde girl with golden eyes had already changed into her bathrobe.

Lin Youpiao, standing beside her, had also changed into a bathrobe.

Lin Yu: ?

Lin You: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Lin Shan asked me to assist you while she is taking a bath."

This…

What's so helpful about taking a shower?

Lin Yu was speechless, but still went along with them.

Actually, Lin Shan sensed that there were more and more beast girls around Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was finding it difficult to take care of everyone.

She must fight for the position of her loyal "subordinate" Lin You and expand her own camp.

As Lin Yu was filling the bathtub with hot water, she heard Lin Xue's voice again: "Master, I'll help too."

Lin Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a silver-haired girl standing at the bathroom door, her red eyes calmly looking at him.

Her soaked silver hair clung to her cheeks, water droplets sliding down her chin and disappearing into the edge of the towel.

Lin Yu: "...?"

What's wrong with me today?

But he didn't think much of it and nodded.

The bathroom is large enough to comfortably accommodate four people.

Lin Xue naturally walked to Lin Yu's side to help fill the water and adjust the temperature.

Then, Lin Yu realized something—

They came prepared today.

I was careless and didn't dodge!

"Master, let's discuss this first," Lin Xue whispered in Lin Yu's ear.

Lin Yu: "...Discussion?"

"My lord..." Lin Shan also leaned closer, "I have also encountered some difficulties today and need your guidance."

After Lin You changed from her maid outfit into a bathrobe, her graceful curves were even more accentuated.

The elves' fair skin, paired with black hair and black eyes, is as exquisite as an ink painting.

She was a little shy.

Lin Yu looked at the magnificent scene before her...

The wind is quite noisy today.

"You guys have the final say..."

The bathroom door was closed.

The sound of water rose, steam billowed, mingled with the faint sounds of conversation, flowing water, and…

……

Lin Duo had a dream.

In her dream, she was still in the waters of the Naga tribe, surrounded by countless of her kind, the space was crowded and the light was dim.

One by one, her kind disappeared, until she was the only fish left.

She swam desperately towards the corner, but was still chosen.

The Naga warrior opened his hideous maw, ready to devour her…

The dream ended abruptly at that moment.

She opened her eyes to find the room completely dark, with only the faint light of a nightlight.

The place was empty; the owner was not there.

A nameless panic welled up inside me.

She jumped off the bed barefoot and pushed open the bedroom door.

The corridor was quiet.

She hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed toward the bathroom.

Sure enough, the bathroom door was closed, but you could faintly hear voices and the sound of water coming from inside.

The owner is still here.

Lin Duo breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't want to go back to her cold bed.

She squatted down at the door, hugging her knees, and decided to wait for the owner to come out.

As I waited, drowsiness returned.

Her little head bobbed up and down until it finally tilted to the side on the hallway carpet, curled up into a tiny ball, and fell asleep.

……

I don't know how much time passed before the bathroom door finally opened.

Lin Yu walked out with Lin You's help, feeling even more tired than after drawing a talisman array all day.

Lin Shan's theoretical research is in-depth and divergent, Lin You's data support is rigorous and extensive, and Lin Xue is an even more important figure.

Now his mind is completely free of distractions, and he can even concentrate on studying advanced mathematics.

He rubbed his temples, preparing to go back to his room to rest.

Then, I saw that orange figure on the hallway carpet.

Lin Duo was sleeping soundly, her little face pressed against the carpet, her mouth slightly open, and a strand of drool hanging down like a thread.

Her pajamas were wrinkled, and one of her socks had somehow come off, revealing her fair little feet.

This girl came to the door looking for me.

Lin Yu's heart instantly melted.

He crouched down and gently picked up Lin Duo.

The girl murmured in her sleep and instinctively snuggled into his arms, her little hands clutching his clothes.

"She fell asleep while waiting outside without making a sound..." Lin Yu muttered to himself as he carried her to the room.

Lin Duo was awakened by the noise and opened her eyes groggily.

Upon recognizing Lin Yu, she mumbled in a childish voice, "Master...you've been washing for so long..."

"Yes, there are some things we need to discuss." Lin Yu put her back on the bed. "Don't sleep in the hallway anymore, it's uncomfortable."

"I want to wait for Master..." Lin Duo rubbed her eyes, her voice heavy with sleepiness, "I can't sleep alone..."

Lin Yu looked at her dependent eyes and sighed inwardly.

Today's tasks have been exceeded.

He always slept alone.

Lin Xue and Lin Shan returned to their respective rooms, satisfied.

Lin You floated back to the living room and continued reading intently.

"Go to sleep." Lin Yu sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'll stay with you."

"Really?" Lin Duo's eyes lit up, and her drowsiness dissipated a bit.

"real."

Lin Duo immediately moved to the inside of the bed and patted the empty space next to her: "Master, sleep here!"

Lin Yu chuckled and lay down beside her.

Lin Duo immediately sidled up to him, hugged him, and buried her face in his chest.

It murmured contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to her even breathing, Lin Yu felt a sense of peace.
