My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Lin Jiu opened her mouth, not expecting the other party's reaction to be even stronger than she had anticipated.

Do girls really like rubber ducks that much?

Uncle Yang's daughter said she liked it.

"This is a gift from you, I would never throw it away, how could I possibly throw it away..."

Wang Yuting gently stroked the little yellow duck's head, her gaze softening. She cherished everything Lin Jiu had given her, both tangible and intangible.

Along with the slippers Lin Jiu bought for her, they're now placed on the top shelf of her shoe cabinet, above all the expensive shoes. These shoes probably never imagined that their nearly five-figure net worth wouldn't even compare to a convenience store slipper bought with a twenty-yuan gift card.

Lin Jiu was somewhat stunned.

Wang Yuting's childlike, pure, and innocent smile, and the simple joy she derives from the toys, make one's heart race.

Lin Jiu finally realized it.

This person really likes rubber ducks.

...that's weird.

What truly made Wang Yuting show such an expression was not the little yellow duck's contribution, but rather his own actions.

I really like this person...

"I."

Lin Jiu reached out and touched her face. Her hand was noticeably hot, so she must be blushing again.

"I'll take the little yellow duck!"

Wang Yuting proudly held the little yellow duck on her head, looking like a not-so-bright girl.

"I want the little yellow duck, and I want you too! Jiu, come take a bath with me~"

"How could you do such a thing..."

“Didn’t you say I could ask you for anything? I’m just exercising my rights.” Wang Yuting tilted her head back and gave a reasonable explanation. “I twisted my ankle. What if I slip and fall in the shower? You understand, right? For my personal safety, this is a perfectly reasonable request!”

"...That's true."

Lin Jiu thought about it carefully.

Indeed, it would be bad if Wang Yuting fell.

People can fall in the bathroom under normal circumstances, let alone with a sprained ankle.

Lin Jiu asked, "Shall we wash now?"

"what……"

Wang Yuting blinked her bright, large eyes.

She only wanted to tease Lin Jiu; she wasn't really prepared to take a bath together.

That's the type who's all about high attack but low defense, a master of empty talk, and has zero real experience – that's her.

The last time Wang Yuting invited Lin Jiu to take a bath together, Lin Jiu's refusal was so adorable that she couldn't resist teasing him again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu actually agreed this time!

How could he have agreed?!

"it is good!"

After hesitating for 0.3 seconds, Wang Yuting came to a conclusion.

It's a win-win situation! Whether Lin Jiu agreed because he was worried about her, or it was just a teenage boy's curiosity about the opposite sex, Wang Yuting didn't lose out no matter how you look at it! Isn't it better to make it a fait accompli?

"What are you doing?"

After the two arrived at the restroom, Wang Yuting was puzzled by Lin Jiu's behavior of taking a towel and tying it to her eyes.

"My intuition tells me that if I don't cover my eyes, something terrible will happen," Lin Jiu explained.

How terrible is it?

Wang Yuting was a little puzzled. What was there to worry about?

It's impossible for anyone to die, right?

wrong.

If the two meet, water may splash everywhere, creating a great roar.

It might actually result in someone's death!

Wang Yuting can become a mother in her second year!

Lin Jiu covered his eyes and slowly uttered the nine-character mantra that struck fear into the hearts of all.

"This chapter has not passed the review."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuting shuddered and stopped insisting that Lin Jiu take the towel off.

"It's okay, even if I blindfold myself, I won't let you fall." Lin Jiu said confidently. He had memorized the entire bathroom layout, and he was confident he could catch Wang Yuting no matter which direction she fell.

The washroom and the bathroom were separated only by a semi-transparent glass door. Lin Jiu was standing in the washroom, and Wang Yuting was in the bathroom.

Lin Jiu misunderstood Wang Yuting's meaning.

Actually, when Wang Yuting said she would bathe with her, she meant the two of them would bathe together, but Lin Jiu misunderstood it as just making sure she didn't fall.

To be honest, this feeling is even more shameful than showering together as a couple.

The quiet bathroom was filled with the soft rustling of clothes being removed, Wang Yuting's occasional murmurs, the sounds of the bathtub against her fingers, and the spray of water from the showerhead. The gentle flow of water, falling on her skin, sounded like pearls falling onto a plate, making one involuntarily imagine how smooth her skin must be.

"Um……"

Because the hot shower was so comfortable, Wang Yuting couldn't help but let out a pitiful sound.

Lin Jiu has a very good memory.

At the same time, his imagination is also quite good.

Even through a towel, he seemed to be able to see clearly.

"Jiu, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"

Wang Yuting poked her wet head out of the bathroom, wanting to see what Lin Jiu was doing.

She found Lin Jiu squatting on the ground, her face as red as if she were ripe.

"fine."

Lin Jiu made a voice even cuter than Wang Yuting's.

"I'm fine!"

Chapter Fifty-Six wasn't enough!

During the entire shower, Wang Yuting did not fall down once.

Once, Wang Yuting almost slipped and fell, but she managed to hold on thanks to her amazing core strength.

Lin Jiu felt deceived.

Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Fortunately, Lin Jiu hadn't expected any lucky pervert incidents, like when he caught Wang Yuting when she almost fell, he could then openly... cough cough, he hadn't even considered such a thing!

Lin Jiu is a gentleman, how could he do something like the Pear Goddess?

Because his eyes were covered, Lin Jiu's other senses became quite acute. He heard every detail of Wang Yuting taking a bath, smelled a rich milky fragrance, and his skin turned a charming red from the rising body temperature.

Aside from not being able to touch it, Lin Jiu could basically recreate the real scene in his mind, so he had to bend down. As a result, his legs went numb from squatting for too long, and he accidentally sat down on the wet floor, getting his pants wet.

He had originally planned to go downstairs to buy groceries while still wearing his school uniform...

"Ah, that feels so good."

After taking a shower, Wang Yuting changed out of her skirt suit. Because of the hot and humid weather, she was dressed rather lightly. Her upper body was covered by a loose white short-sleeved top that covered her hips, and her lower body was covered by tight-fitting shorts. Her full, rounded thighs and slender, shapely calves were exposed to the air, dazzlingly white, even more so than the lights.

"call out--!"

When Lin Jiu came out of the washroom, Wang Yuting whistled at him, just like a delinquent student seeing a beautiful girl.

It has to be said that Wang Yuting had a huge variety of clothes when she was little, and in all sorts of styles. One can only imagine the feelings her parents had when they were buying her clothes. We hope she will become even more radiant, more charming, and that she will always retain her childlike innocence and cuteness.

Lin Jiu finally found some clothes that looked a bit boyish: a beige sleeveless vest and blue capri pants. If Wang Yuting had worn this outfit during her school days, she would have looked incredibly cool and dashing, making girls' hearts flutter. But on Lin Jiu, it just looked cute and delicate, making Wang Yuting exclaim that she had hit the bullseye.

"It's all your fault."

Lin Jiu pouted slightly. The thought of having to go to the supermarket to buy groceries later gave him a headache.

Although he didn't have much of a problem with it because he had worn women's clothes since he was a child, and the clothes were indeed made of very good fabric that fit his skin comfortably... But! He was still a boy, and he would still feel resistant if he had to wear women's clothes out all the time.

What if I get used to it?

Habits are the most terrifying thing.

"Don't say that, come here first, come here first."

Wang Yuting patted the sofa and called Lin Jiu over, then picked up her phone to order.

Lin Jiu leaned over and glanced at it, discovering over twenty missed calls on Wang Yuting's phone and a ton of WeChat messages. Most were polite greetings, offering sincere well wishes to Supervisor Wang, who was never late or absent. Most were normal social pleasantries; after all, with their leader on sick leave, how could the underlings not offer some thanks?

Besides that, there was only the manager's helpless message.

Lin Jiu could sense the manager's despair just by looking at him.

Besides Wang Yuting and Manager Zhang, the only other staff on the fourth floor of the mall were Director Yang, a greasy guy with excellent business acumen but terrible at ordinary tasks, and Supervisor Luo, who had only recently joined the company. Essentially, Wang Yuting's heavy workload stemmed from her colleagues' uneven skill levels, which the highly responsible Wang Yuting had to fill in to make up for.

Wang Yuting has now taken two days off, which has given the manager a real headache.

Wang Yuting felt no guilt about this and simply swiped away all the new WeChat messages.

These next few days, I'm going to be all lovey-dovey with my Lin Jiu. It's none of your business to interfere.

"Come on, pick what you like, don't worry about the price."

Wang Yuting handed her phone to Lin Jiu in a very open and generous manner, fully expressing her trust in him.

In today's society, which girlfriend dares to openly show her phone to her boyfriend? Which guy dares to record his girlfriend's fingerprints on his phone and let her check them at will? Putting aside everything else, even Lin Jiu has secrets on his phone.

Lin Jiu's phone album contains a whopping 820... cat pictures! A third of them are of the thieving cats he encountered near his school. Every time he met one, Lin Jiu would give it his meager food supplies. In return, Lin Jiu could take pictures of it, and if it was in a good mood, he could even pet its chin and belly.
