What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"I didn't expect you to still remember this; it's a bit of a surprise."

The room was just the right temperature. Gu Yuqiu put down the porcelain wine glass in her hand, got up from the chair, and looked towards the bathroom.

She has a life of enjoying life and no longer cares about money. She came to Xinchu a few months ago to enjoy herself, so the bathroom is naturally luxuriously decorated.

For example, the bathtub was really too big; it took almost ten minutes to fill it with water.

"If you want to remember, you can remember."

Su Yan looked at her and said, "We are all the same."

Gu Yuqiu glanced out the window and saw that the snowflakes were getting bigger.

She didn't want to talk about these things, so she casually changed the subject and said, "On a snowy night, it's so nice to take a hot bath."

Su Yan said gently, "Taking a shower and then going to sleep is indeed more comfortable than lying down directly."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

The two went into the bathroom.

The warm-toned light reflected off the tiles, falling on the snow-white skin, softening the colors and making the scene look beautiful in a different way.

The bathroom also has a window.

Three hours have passed since the Lord of Sleep fell, and snow has long since piled up on the windowsill, making it look especially cold.

Therefore, it is exceptionally warm here.

Gu Yuqiu is still very lazy.

Su Yan gave herself a quick rinse and then washed her thoroughly before sitting in the bathtub where hot water was slowly overflowing.

With a whoosh.

The water in the bathtub then rushed out, turning into a small waterfall.

Two satisfied sighs echoed from the bathroom.

The rising steam softened the girl's features and dampened her tied-up silver hair.

The two sat side by side, without thinking or saying anything, no longer sighing inwardly, watching the snow outside the window.

It was very pleasant.

Absolutely wonderful.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly said, "It feels like it's been a long time since we sat together like this last time."

Without thinking, Su Yan said, "It was four years and five months, twenty-three days, and fifty-six minutes ago. It's not too long, so it's alright."

Gu Yuqiu closed her eyes and gave a lazy "hmm".

"At that time, we weren't sitting in a bathtub, we were in a hot spring."

Su Yan's tone was calm, with a hint of wistfulness: "I think it was in Northern Europe, at an open-air hot spring in a guesthouse. The starry sky there was beautiful."

Gu Yuqiu asked softly, "So, do you prefer this time or the last time?"

Su Yan turned her head and glanced at her.

Gu Yuqiu guessed what she was thinking and said, "Don't say things like 'being with you is the best thing,' that's what I said."

Su Yan thought to herself, "Isn't this a bit too boring?"

"Now."

She thought about it carefully and gave her explanation: "Because you look better than before."

Gu Yuqiu chuckled and said, "That's something I didn't expect."

Su Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and said smugly, "Of course you couldn't have guessed, after all, I didn't change my face."

"Oh, right."

Gu Yuqiu had an idea and asked curiously, "Don't you feel unfamiliar with my face... Hmm, have I asked you that before?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "I forgot." (Note)

"But as long as you are you..."

She turned her head, looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, and said, word by word, "Then I won't feel like a stranger."

Gu Yuqiu sighed and said, "We had such a big conflict before, it seemed like there was no way to resolve it, but now it's all over like this. It's so sudden."

Su Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Stop pretending."

Gu Yuqiu fell silent, because what he said was true.

She had certainly thought about it beforehand, but she never expected it to turn out this way, even more wonderful than she had imagined.

But when she thought about it more deeply, she felt that it was all perfectly reasonable, because the past was not a delusion.

Most importantly, since we're destined to part ways, what is there left to hold onto?

Even if they are likely to start arguing the next second.

"I'm thinking about something."

"Ok?"

"What should I do if you're lying to me and you're not leaving next spring?"

"I don't think this is a problem."

"why?"

"It's very simple, did you suffer any losses?"

Gu Yuqiu's tone was very serious.

Su Yan was quiet for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems not. We never owe each other anything."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Then let's not talk about this anymore, it really ruins the atmosphere, and aren't these all cheesy things?"

Why do you get tired of it?

Su Yan said matter-of-factly, "I once read a saying that lovers can repeat the same words three thousand times and never get tired of them." (Note 2)

Gu Yuqiu replied without hesitation, "But you and I aren't lovers."

Su Yan thought to herself, "Where do you get all these nice words?"

She didn't want to listen anymore, afraid that she would get used to it too quickly, so she got up and left the bathtub.

The water droplets falling from her curves created a beautiful scene.

Ignoring Gu Yuqiu's gaze, she casually grabbed a towel to dry herself, put on a thick bathrobe, and asked casually, "Would you like something to drink?"

I'm hungry.

Gu Yuqiu said, "I'd like to eat more late-night snacks, but I remember you can't cook, right?"

Su Yan was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Are late-night snacks and dinner the same thing?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Then that's not good."

"Besides, we just went to the supermarket a few days ago and bought so many groceries. Don't you think it's a waste to just leave them sitting at home unused?"

"Um... there were two words I didn't hear clearly."

"what?"

"Where can I put it so I don't have to bring it?"

"As expected of you, Miss Huai, you still look the same even with a different face."

"You told me yourself a few days ago that you like my annoying temper."

Su Yan pretended not to hear.

She pushed open the door and left Gu Yuqiu in the bathtub, then went to prepare a late-night snack by herself.

Gu Yuqiu was a little worried that it would taste bad, but she couldn't think of a good solution, so she closed her eyes and continued soaking it, pretending that nothing had happened.

……

……

There are really only three kinds of late-night snacks that people usually eat.

It's just crayfish, or hot pot, or barbecue.

However, neither of them interested Songtang, and he couldn't be bothered to even take a bite.

As it turns out, even if it was incredibly powerful and terrifying, just a hair's breadth away from being one of the most remarkable people in the world, it was still ultimately just a cat.

So when Shen Muchan, with Lu Xiu's help, found the friends she had met at the Special Affairs Bureau a few days earlier, and naturally decided to have a late-night snack, the homeless creature could only lie on the sofa, listlessly watching these people.

The scene was very eerie.

The Special Affairs Bureau booked the entire barbecue restaurant and asked all the other customers to leave. The usually bustling restaurant was now empty of more than six people.

In addition, dozens of agents from the Special Affairs Bureau stood in the wind and snow outside the store, ready to react and deal with any possible unforeseen events.

Shen Muchan didn't care at all. She called over the owner, who was acting as a waiter, and looked at the menu.

"This, this, and this."

She pointed to several items on the menu, such as silkworm pupae, and said, "I don't want any of these, but I'll have one of everything else."

The white cat was taken aback, thinking, "You have such a big appetite, yet you're still so short?"

Shen Muchan glared at it and said, "Apart from meowing twice, it's all just pretending to be dead. What am I supposed to order? Just one of everything, right?"

The white cat thought that this seemed to make sense.

It stretched and looked towards home, wondering curiously what they were doing.

"Why don't you go ask about it tomorrow?"

Shen Muchan said, "I'm quite curious too. Are they having a late-night snack as well?"
