My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Because Lin Jiu is naturally cute, and also has a slightly arrogant feel. She takes everything very seriously, and is also a little jealous.

"I really want to take Lin Jiu to the comic convention..."

Wang Yuting muttered to herself as she immersed her cheeks in the water, and bubbles rose to the surface.

Five minutes later, Wang Yuting stood up from the bathtub, the cool air making her squint her eyes comfortably.

She wrapped herself in a bath towel, went to the bathroom, picked up a cup of warm water from the sink, and returned to the bathroom. The warmth from her palms made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Yuting sat on the edge of the bathtub, the cool, slippery sensation on her buttocks causing her to instinctively stand up. She scolded herself for being too sensitive, calmed herself, and found a comfortable spot to sit down again. Holding the thermos, Wang Yuting sipped the hot water, not just to warm her body externally, but also because maintaining internal and external balance was important.

After resting for about five minutes, Wang Yuting put the empty warm water bottle on the shelf and took out a cotton towel and massage oil.

Wang Yuting had never cared about these things before. She relied on her natural beauty—smooth, fair skin—and neglected skincare. Only after meeting Lin Jiu did she realize she needed to take better care of herself and stop being so lazy! Otherwise, when she got older, Lin Jiu would still have such radiant skin, while hers would be sagging…that wouldn't do!

Wang Yuting poured massage oil onto a towel and carefully massaged the areas with more body fat in circular motions.

Although Wang Yuting had never used various skincare products in the past, she had loved sports since childhood and maintained a remarkably good figure. Her abdomen was completely free of excess fat; she was slender and well-proportioned, with well-developed areas and no excess fat in the right places. The main areas for massage were naturally only two: one to prevent sagging, and the other to relieve fatigue in her buttocks from prolonged sitting.

Because of her love for video games, Wang Yuting spends long periods of time sitting in front of the computer on her days off. This is particularly bad for her lower back, shoulders, cervical spine, and head. Although she bought an ergonomic chair, even the best chair is no substitute for getting up and moving around for ten minutes every fifty minutes. Plus, sitting for long periods can easily make your buttocks loose and saggy.

Wang Yuting didn't want to become a flabby woman. The thought of slacking off and not exercising properly, and then on her wedding night, Lin Jiu pressing on her stomach so hard his fingers could almost bury themselves in it… it was terrifying! What despair! What a hellish scene! She absolutely didn't want it to happen!!

"..."

Wang Yuting went back into the bathtub, where the water temperature was now about 38 degrees Celsius.

She placed the little yellow duck toy that Lin Jiu had given her on the water's surface and gently poked it with her finger.

"Hmph, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you."

"Drown with your ideals!"

“Aga gaga gaga”.

Wang Yuting pressed the little yellow duck into the water and then released it, watching the little yellow duck gush up from the bottom of the water.

Oh no, this is even more fun than I imagined!

Do you want to live?

"If you beg for mercy, I might give you a chance."

"Jiujiu! No matter how much you wail, I will never let you go. I just love to see you in this miserable state, and to hear your screams that please me even more! Maybe I can spare your life because I'm in a good mood."

Wang Yuting got carried away with the fun without even realizing it.

At this moment, Wang Yuting was unaware that the sound she made was so loud that Lin Jiu in the living room could hear it clearly.

"...Did I just hear my name?"

Lin Jiu was filled with doubts, but his intuition told him that it was best to keep this to himself.

Let's just pretend we didn't hear it.

Lin Jiu wore the helpless expression of a mother finding a pornographic book while tidying her child's room, thinking that her child had indeed reached this age. While feeling a sense of relief, she also had some worries, concerned that her child might lack self-control. Doing handicrafts every day might not seem like a problem now that the child is young, but the pain would become apparent in middle age.

Wang Yuting soaked in the bathtub for about ten minutes before getting up, splashing water everywhere. She placed the little yellow duck on the shelf; the poor duck had suffered such torture that one couldn't help but want to take its place in its misery.

"Mmm-mmm-mmm—"

Wang Yuting splashed cold water on her toes and felt much more clear-headed.

This process is stimulating, but it's a necessary finishing touch to tighten the skin.

"I'm done washing!"

Wang Yuting came out of the bathroom wearing Rilakkuma-style pajamas, her cheeks particularly red because she had just taken a shower.

"so slow."

Lin Jiu checked the time; Wang Yuting had taken more than forty minutes to shower, enough time for him to take three showers.

"Jiu'er, it's perfectly normal for girls to take a bath for half an hour or an hour. Don't make a fuss about it." Wang Yuting sat down next to Lin Jiu, took a sip of warm water, and said slowly, "Girls have to put in a lot of effort to make themselves look beautiful."

"I see..."

Lin Jiu nodded thoughtfully.

This touched upon his area of ​​ignorance.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiu suddenly noticed that Wang Yuting was staring intently at his face, her eyes serious, as if a scientist had discovered something extraordinary.

"Jiujiu, it might be a bit impolite to ask this, but I want to know... is there some secret you're hiding from me?"

Wang Yuting's tone was particularly serious.

A seriousness never before seen.

She unintentionally exuded an aura of authority, making people subconsciously wonder if they had made a mistake.

This is similar to when your boss suddenly asks another employee to call you to the office. You would first think about whether you have done something wrong recently, rather than thinking that your boss has dropped in the rankings of the game and is asking you to help him rank up.

"..."

Lin Jiu subconsciously clenched her fists.

Does he have a secret he's hiding from Wang Yuting?

Yes, of course.

Everyone has secrets.

Lin Jiu was no exception.

"actually……"

Lin Jiu shrugged and whispered, "I'm picky about food too."

"Hehe? You're a picky eater yourself, yet you still make me eat eggplant? You're really something. Come on, tell me what you hate to eat." Wang Yuting's composure crumbled in an instant, her previously serious expression vanishing completely.

Lin Jiu hesitated for a moment, looked into Wang Yuting's eyes, and chose to tell the truth.

"I can't really eat...cilantro."

"It's all your fault that Cilantro isn't smiling anymore!"

"what?"

Lin Jiu was puzzled by this.

Cilantro has become a spirit? No way! It's forbidden to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China! Turn it back!

Wang Yuting explained, "It's nothing. I just thought of another kind of cilantro, but not the edible kind."

"Oh."

You can't eat it.

Lin Jiu instantly lost interest.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in cilantro anyway; it's something that people either love or hate. It's like snail rice noodles—for some, it's perfectly acceptable; although it smells a bit pungent, it tastes delicious. Some vendors are so skilled that their cilantro has no unpleasant smell at all. But there are still those who say they can't stand it; it's a matter of personal preference.

Lin Jiu couldn't accept cilantro because it had a strong, pungent smell that hit her head.

"No, I almost fell for your trick."

Wang Yuting's expression changed. She reached out and pinched Lin Jiu's cheek, which felt incredibly good.

Just as Lin Jiu was filled with doubt, Wang Yuting touched his neck, arms, and other parts of his body that were not covered by his clothes.

Wang Yuting looked puzzled and asked, "How did you do that?"

"No, do what?" Lin Jiu still didn't understand what Wang Yuting meant.

"Although the weather isn't exactly dry right now, your skin is in really good condition. It's so supple and smooth to the touch; even I'm envious," Wang Yuting said, rubbing Lin Jiu's cheek. "I haven't seen you use any skincare products."

"I already told you, I use Safeguard..."

"Are you kidding me! Even if you say that, Safeguard won't pay you! Confess, what kind of cheat did you use!"

"I don't understand what you're saying—don't touch me here, you idiot! I told you, don't, don't touch me like that, um..."

Wang Yuting angrily lashed out at Lin Jiu, ravaging his body with abandon, only calming her resentment after she had her fill of pleasure.

Lin Jiu was confused. Wang Yuting picked him up and touched his chin, but he had no idea what he had done to upset her.

However, because Wang Yuting's touch felt so good, Lin Jiu didn't even have the thought of resisting.

"Never mind, let's watch a movie."

Wang Yuting turned on the TV with the remote control, ready to watch a horror movie.

She downloaded several highly-rated movies beforehand, then transferred them to her TV box using an external hard drive so she could watch them directly.

Lin Jiu silently reached out and grabbed a cushion, took a deep breath, and cheered herself up.

Surprisingly, the horror movie Wang Yuting played was actually an animation.

Lin Jiu tilted his head, looked at the TV, and slowly read out the movie title.

"Urban Legends Series: The Eight-Foot Man?"

Chapter Ninety: The Taste of Home

An eight-foot-tall adult.

This is a monster legend that has been passed down in Japan.

It first appeared on a forum website, which also featured urban legends such as "The Non-existent Kisaragi Station".

The Eight-Foot Lady is a legendary female ghost, described as tall and wearing a white dress, who emits a chilling laugh. According to legend, anyone who sees her will meet with misfortune. If you encounter her, you must remain in a sealed room that night and never open the door. However, she will mimic the voice of the victim's relative to lower their guard, and those bewitched by her usually die within days.

This is what Lin Jiu found through a mobile phone search.

As for why he specifically searched for the Eight-Foot Man, it was because the "Urban Legend Series: The Eight-Foot Man" that Wang Yuting showed him had absolutely nothing to do with monster legends! The Eight-Foot Man in this animation was too big, too big in every way, even a cart could run him over!

This story teaches us that we shouldn't wander into deserted alleys, and we shouldn't open our windows just because someone is knocking on them.

Strictly speaking, this is an educational film, full of positive and uplifting messages.

When the little boy opened the door to let the eight-foot-tall adult in a white dress, with a neat face and a white hat into the room, Wang Yuting picked up the remote, pressed pause, exited the video, and returned to the TV box interface.

She is a simple and kind person.
