Chapter 68 Soaked Clothes, a Wretched Man (3800 words, please subscribe!)

What are you thinking?

Xu Yan took the initiative to let go of her hand, ending the ambiguous contact.

Ye Shutong simply took a step back quietly. "They should be waiting for you. I'm going to take a shower."

Xu Yan: ?

"Damn it! My phone!"

Remembering his phone still in his pocket, Xu Yan quickly went ashore, took it out, and checked...

Ok?

It still works!

He shook off the water droplets on the spot, and it seemed that there were no problems for the time being. He could even see Qin Yifan's messages urging him on.

The setting sun was gradually darkening on the horizon when Xu Yan saw Ye Shutong, who had already come ashore, take a towel that had been placed on a deck chair on the shore, and say while drying her hair, "Is your phone broken?"

"Will you pay for it if it breaks?"

Xu Yan responded irritably.

The girl, straddling her long, slender legs and displaying her perfect figure, remained expressionless, as if she hadn't been particularly moved when the girl had jumped into his arms.

It was practically a pre-planned process; no wonder they were so confident when they reached out their hands...

But the same question remains: what exactly is she trying to do out of the blue? She's almost turned her life into a dark comedy.

Is it because of boredom? Or is it due to mental instability?

The most important reason is that Ye Shutong is not like she used to be; it's difficult to fathom her inner thoughts and ideas now.

"You can tell me if you want it."

Xu Yan sighed, "Never mind, it's not broken, and that's not important right now. The main thing is that I'm completely soaked. How am I going to explain to people later that I fell into the river?"

"There are no clean clothes here," Ye Shutong said after thinking for a moment.

"Nonsense, I can't change it even if you have it, unless you come with me after you take a shower."

There's no better way, let's just explode them all at once!

"Don't go."

She resolutely refused.

Xu Yan stared at her, wide-eyed. "Then what should I do?"

“You can tell them that something has suddenly come up and you can’t go, and then stay here.”

"Stay here?" Xu Yan looked at the girl with suspicion, who spoke without any hesitation, as if she had prepared her answer in advance. "Why stay here?"

"Wait until the clothes are dry, or wait for me to order new clothes for you."

"Clang."

Ye Shutong opened the door leading from the balcony to the inside, walked barefoot to the edge, and then put on slippers.

Just as Xu Yan was about to say something, his phone vibrated; it was Qin Yifan's voice call invitation.

The boy could only open it, and the sound was a bit low, probably due to water entering the device.

"Hey? Where are you?! Did you fall into the toilet?! We're about to start eating!"

"There was a slight mishap, but I'll be there soon."

That was all Xu Yan could say.

"Okay, hurry up!"

After the voice call ended, Xu Yan watched as Ye Shutong, who had already left, walked towards a room without looking back.

Xu Yan also went out onto the balcony. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to follow. As for staying here... and then telling Qin Yifan and the others that he suddenly had something to do? Obviously, that was impossible.

He was about to go downstairs.

Just as he was going downstairs, his phone vibrated.

It's news from Ye Shutong.

There are clothes available on the first floor where you can change.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment. When he walked downstairs, he saw clothes, pants, socks, shoes and even... underwear laid out on the living room table!

I didn't see it when I arrived, how did it suddenly appear? Was it delivered by someone just now?

What Xu Yan found even more incomprehensible was that the style and color of the clothes and pants were almost exactly the same as what he was wearing, with only minor differences, and they were even his size.

The shoes are the same style, but the brands are clearly different and they are more expensive.

So she had planned this all in advance, which is why she was able to have it prepared and delivered on time? Damn...

Unable to understand, Xu Yan immediately sent a message.

Are you... mentally sound?

Ye Shutong: [What do you mean?]

Even someone as brilliant as me can't understand what you're trying to do today.

After sending the message, Xu Yan didn't receive a reply until he had cleaned himself up and changed into a full set of clothes and shoes.

If you're angry, I won't do it again.

Xu Yan: [...]

Ye Shutong: [Smiling emoji]

Invincible.

As for the clothes that were taken off... Xu Yan thought about it and figured they weren't worth much anyway, so he'd let Ye Shutong do whatever she wanted with them.

And the underwear... I threw it in the trash.

I'm still a little embarrassed.

Xu Yan walked out of Tianzi No. 1 with mixed feelings.

Not long after, footsteps echoed again in the quiet detached villa, from the third floor to the first floor.

A tall, slender girl in a white spaghetti strap dress walked step by step into the living room on the first floor. She looked at the somewhat messy living room and noticed the clothes abandoned on the sofa.

He took out the prepared bag and put the items in one by one, regardless of how wet they were.

After finishing the installation, she frowned slightly, then scanned the entire living room for a moment before finally settling on the trash can.

There was something extra in the trash can, which should have been empty. She thought for a moment, her expression changing strangely, but she still bent down and reached her hand inside...

"This is unbelievable... What kind of strange experiences are these? Is tomorrow going to be some kind of apocalyptic scenario?"

As Xu Yan walked towards the barbecue area, he muttered to himself.

It's all so abnormal. I just don't know if what I can't accept is this abnormal life, or Ye Shutong, whom I can't understand now.

Sigh, whatever, I guess I'll just have to live with it. With a system like this, how could I possibly lose to her?

What a joke!

It was getting dark, and evening was passing by. Before Xu Yan even reached the barbecue area, he spotted an acquaintance.

Wearing round-framed glasses, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, and with long hair, An Lulu, exuding an intellectual charm, was standing in front of a small stall by the roadside.

They didn't even realize they had arrived.

When Xu Yan tiptoed over, he found the girl staring intently at a chubby bear plush toy on the stall.

"Squad leader?"

Xu Yan softly called out the other person's name.

An Lulu's whole body trembled slightly, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes. Then, she guiltily adjusted her glasses and looked at Xu Yan.

"...You've arrived?"

"What are you doing here, squad leader?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

An Lulu shook her head, adjusting herself back to her original indifferent and aloof state, "They were worried you wouldn't be able to find the place, so I just went to the restroom and said I'd pick you up halfway."

"Oh, as long as they don't come to kill me halfway."

An Lulu:?

"Since you're here, let's leave."

An Lulu prepared to turn around.

Xu Yan asked, "Class monitor, do you like this?"

The boy pointed to the unlucky bear on the stall shelf. It was a game stall where you could buy five balls for twenty yuan, put them into the cannon, and take away whatever doll you knocked down.

The cannon barrel wasn't close to the doll, but it wasn't so far away that it would instantly kill your interest.

An Lulu didn't speak, but just looked at Xu Yan strangely.

Xu Yan explained, "I saw you staring at this bear for a while. If you want to play with it, you can. It's only twenty yuan, not expensive."

An Lulu shook her head, tilted her head back slightly, and looked somewhat disdainful. "I just glanced at it out of boredom. Who said I liked it? I'm in my senior year of high school, I don't have time to cultivate this kind of interest."

"Oh~"

Xu Yan smiled, then took out his phone and said to the shopkeeper standing next to him, "Twenty yuan for five, right? I'll scan your QR code."

"What are you doing?" An Lulu was stunned.
