Honest Beta gets scammed

Li Qing was stunned by his gaze.

He didn't think about why He Xiangchen was laughing like that, but for some reason he suddenly remembered the fox spirits in the fantasy dramas he used to watch back in his hometown.

She blushed immediately!

No, what am I thinking! That's so disrespectful!

In Li Qing's mind, "vixen" is an insult. He coughed twice to drive away the messy thoughts in his mind.

In He Xiangchen's eyes, his appearance was clearly a sign of guilt.

He Xiangchen's smile deepened.

"No need, you go ahead and wash."

"Huh? Oh, okay, that works too. I'll go wash up first."

Li Qing was indeed feeling a bit embarrassed by the random thoughts in her mind, and couldn't wait to find a place to calm down. She grabbed the bag and dashed into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.

He Xiangchen's eyes flickered for a moment, then he slowly walked to a single sofa not far from the bathroom door and sat down. This spot offered an excellent view, so he could see Li Qing as soon as he came out.

He had already seen through Li Qing's plan, so how could he easily follow Li Qing's script?

Hmph, you want to seduce him? You'll have to let him inspect the goods first and see how much this country bumpkin really weighs!

The image of Li Qing in her sexy pajamas flashed through He Xiangchen's mind. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide the irritation in them, then adjusted to a comfortable position, crossed his legs, and leaned back on the sofa, quietly waiting for Li Qing to appear.

Not long after, the sound of water stopped.

He Xiangchen's fingers, which were gripping the sofa armrest, paused slightly involuntarily, and his gaze immediately shot towards the bathroom door.

A moment later, with a "click," the lock turned and the door slowly opened.

He Xiangchen's heart pounded faster at that moment, and he instinctively gripped the sofa cushion tightly.

The door finally opened, and billowing steam rushed out first, revealing a blurry figure that gradually became clearer.

Li Qing walked out from there.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and gray boxer shorts. He was haphazardly drying his wet hair with a towel as he walked over to He Xiangchen. When He Xiangchen looked at him, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"I'm done washing, you can come in now."

He Xiangchen sat on the sofa, tilting his head slightly back, his eyes wide open, staring at Li Qing without saying a word.

The ordinary white T-shirt, slightly damp from a recent shower, clung to Li Qing's chest, subtly outlining the contours of his well-developed muscles.

The gray boxer shorts she wore were nothing special, just the most common style, hanging at her waist and revealing two straight, slender, and well-proportioned calves.

Everything seemed so normal.

From normal to abnormal!

After a brief period of blankness, He Xiangchen's mind began to work frantically.

Where are the sexy nightgowns? Where are the lace? Where are the sheer fabrics?

How could it be a T-shirt and shorts for a stay-at-home guy?!

Seeing that his expression was off and he wasn't speaking, Li Qing's smile faded slightly. She raised her hand and waved it in front of He Xiangchen's eyes, asking with some concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

He Xiangchen felt a lump in his throat as he looked at Li Qing's expression.

His lips trembled, and after a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth.

"pajamas……"

"pajamas?"

Li Qing looked down at himself, then seemed to understand something and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, this? I don't care about these things. I just wear my old T-shirts as pajamas. They're comfortable. But don't worry, I bought you new ones. They're all in the bathroom. The towels and toothbrush are there too. Just use them."

"Did you buy this for me?"

Li Qing nodded matter-of-factly: "Yeah, I bought it for you."

boom!!

He Xiangchen felt a surge of anger, and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently.

He stared intently at Li Qing's face, took a deep breath, stood up, looked down at Li Qing and nodded repeatedly, his smile was fierce!

"Okay, okay, fine."

You're doing great!

Li Qing raised his head as He Xiangchen stood up and saw He Xiangchen smiling at him. He blinked, feeling that something was off about the smile, but He Xiangchen didn't give him a chance to analyze it. He turned around abruptly and walked towards the bathroom.

Because he was walking too fast, he almost bumped into Li Qing.

Li Qing took a step back, barely managing to avoid the door. He looked at He Xiangchen's back, and then with a "bang," the door was slammed shut, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

Is it just my imagination?

Why does He Xiangchen seem angry?

Scratching his head, Li Qing thought he was probably overthinking things, so he turned around and went to find a hairdryer to dry his hair.

in the bathroom.

He Xiangchen leaned against the door, and as soon as he entered, his gaze fell precisely on the red box on the sink.

He strode over, grabbed the box, and roughly ripped open the lid.

A neatly folded, very ordinary gray men's pajama set lay quietly in the center of the box.

He Xiangchen: "..."

The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the pajamas seemed to come alive, growing eyes and a mouth in his eyes, silently mocking him.

He Xiangchen gritted his teeth and slammed the box shut.

His pheromones were also starting to leak out uncontrollably. He really wanted to rush out, pin that scheming Beta Li Qing against the wall, and torture him until he confessed all his little schemes!

Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!

Just as he was burning with anger, he suddenly caught a very faint fragrance.

He Xiangchen paused, and the volatile pheromones emanating from his body instantly stopped.

He looked up and glanced around.

Li Qing had just taken a shower here, and the entire bathroom was still filled with warmth and steam. He Xiangchen's nose twitched slightly, and a faint fragrance lingered in the bathroom.

That was the scent of Li Qing. He Xiangchen had smelled it many times today, but each time it was very faint. It would inadvertently enter his nostrils, but it was difficult to find when he tried to smell it carefully. However, in this small shower space, those scents were completely locked in, with nowhere to escape.

He Xiangchen finally captured it truly.

It smells like mint.

It is crisp, clean, and has a slightly cool sweetness.

He Xiangchen pursed his lips.

He doesn't actually like the taste of mint, whether it's mint candy or mint-flavored toothpaste.

But the "perfume" on Li Qing was quite different.

It is subtle and hard to detect, yet it is all-pervasive, like the coolest breeze in summer, silently brushing past the heart and taking away all the heat and boredom.

The anger in He Xiangchen's heart subsided just like that, and he twitched his nose again.

The taste was still faint, but it was no longer fleeting; it seeped into his lungs, making him feel inexplicably refreshed and much more energetic.

He Xiangchen clicked his tongue, his mood inexplicably improving slightly.

Stop thinking about all that nonsense, casually put the pajama box aside, take off your clothes, and get ready to take a shower.

He turned on the shower switch, and the water gushed out.

The water cascaded down his arm and washed over his skin, but he remained motionless.

He just kept his head down, staring at his body in disbelief.

...He's gone overboard with his emotions.
