With a heart full of joy and the passion of spring surging, Xin Yi rushed into the bathroom with Shen Shanshan in his arms. Thinking about the upcoming romantic bath together, Xin Yi couldn't help but sing happily, "Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast, one has no... one has no... how strange, how strange..."
"Bad guy! What nonsense are you singing? Who sings like that? Annoying!" Shen Shanshan scolded shyly, her face flushed. It was undeniable that a shy woman is the most captivating, especially a beautiful one. Xin Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement as he swallowed hard.
"So, should I help you undress or will you do it yourself? Hehehe..." Xin Yi chuckled while rubbing his hands together.
Shen Shanshan lowered her head and remained silent. However, her hands did not move, which clearly indicated that she was waiting for him to take action. Xin Yi, being a rather clever person, easily picked up on Shen Shanshan's demeanor. He grinned slyly and said, "Hehe... don't be shy, my dear. I'm here to help you undress..."
Just as Xin Yi's hands were about to touch the hem of Shen Shanshan's cashmere sweater to pull it off, a sudden knocking sound interrupted them. "Damn it, who is so inconsiderate? Can't they see we're in a crucial moment? It took so long for the beauty to agree to take a bath together; we were just getting started! Why are they knocking?"
Xin Yi chose to ignore the knocking as if he hadn't heard it at all. At this moment, nothing could stop him from pursuing his goal! He didn't believe anyone would dare to burst in. If it were a man, he would deal with him immediately! If it were a woman... well, he would still deal with her!
However, while Xin Yi was determined to proceed, Shen Shanshan had other thoughts. The shy girl couldn't continue with such embarrassing actions while someone was knocking outside. She was a modest young lady after all; she couldn't compare herself to Xin Yi.
So Shen Shanshan quickly grabbed Xin Yi's hand that was trying to pull her clothes off and said, "Wait... let's open the door first; someone is knocking outside."
"Forget them! Even if there's a war outside right now, I won't care; what matters is right here!" Xin Yi insisted firmly. "Come on, my dear, let me help you undress..."
"Stop... no!" Shen Shanshan suddenly said seriously. "Xin Yi, don't do this. It could be Sister Jie and Roxy outside. Please open the door; I don't want to be embarrassed in front of them! We will have plenty of opportunities later, okay?"
"Alright, I'll go open the door. You tidy up a bit," Xin Yi finally relented. Since Shen Shanshan had said so, continuing would be too much. He stepped out of the bathroom and opened the door. Sure enough, Lijie and Roxy were standing there. Looking at them, Xin Yi thought resentfully: ruining my good time means you have to pay! Ten times each! No, a hundred times! No wait—an annual fee!
Lijie glanced at Xin Yi and burst into laughter. Roxy was confused but didn’t question Lijie’s laughter and hurriedly said, "Xin Yi, is Shanshan in your room? I need to discuss something with you both; let me in!"
As she spoke, she pushed past Xin Yi into the room.
Lijie followed behind her with a knowing smile directed at Xin Yi. Confused by her expression, he asked, "What are you looking at me like that for? Do I have something on my face?"
"It's not your face; it's somewhere else that's interesting," Lijie giggled.
"Where did I spend money?" Xin Yi asked strangely, wondering why Lijie was acting so mysteriously.
"Well, it's that place where flowers are blooming," Lijie said, gesturing with her chin towards a certain part of Xin Yi's towel. "Aren't you done yet? Are you really upset that I and Roxy interrupted you? Hehehe..."
It was then that Xin Yi suddenly realized, looking down and thinking, oh my goodness! How many times have you embarrassed me? Huh? Why can't you remember this?! How am I supposed to teach you? Haven't you heard the leaders often say we need to be serious and lively? That means being serious when it's time to be serious and lively when it's time to be lively. But look at you, all lively and not serious enough.
At that moment, Shen Shanshan had also finished adjusting her clothes and opened the bathroom door with a flushed face. "Oh, Sister Jie is here! Come sit down and chat, why are you standing?"
"Oh, nothing," Lijie replied. "I was just telling Xin Yi that Roxy and I came at the wrong time. Hehehe... How about we go back to our room first and come back later?"
"Sure..." Xin Yi blurted out involuntarily.
"Bad guy! What did you just say?!" Shen Shanshan reacted quickly, interrupting Xin Yi's words as she pulled on Lijie's arm playfully. "Sister Jie, what are you talking about? Are you making fun of me too? It's not the wrong time; it's just right! Just in time to cut off some people's wicked thoughts! Hehehe... I should thank you both! By the way, I heard you two discussing something; what is it?"
Xin Yi felt like banging his head against the wall. I... damn it, don't these women feel uncomfortable about stopping halfway? They really are strange creatures. Anyway, I'm feeling quite uncomfortable myself, especially wrapped in a towel—how embarrassing!
"I don't know either; Roxy said she had something to discuss with you guys but wouldn't say what it was," Lijie replied. "Xin Yi, why don't you ask Roxy what she wants to discuss with us?"
Xin Yi also found it strange. Ever since he decided to change course from Lusan to Taiwan, Roxy had been acting off. She seemed dazed throughout the journey, and now she said she wanted to discuss something. It seemed like it was time for a serious talk with her. So Xin Yi walked over to Roxy, who was sitting blankly on the edge of the bed. He placed his hand on her shoulder and gently squeezed it; even this action startled her as if she had been suddenly awakened. Xin Yi spoke softly, "Roxy, tell us what you want to discuss."
"Um, Xin Yi," Roxy looked up at him and said, "I want to ask if we can... switch to a flight to Taiwan right now? Yes, let's leave today! No need to wait until tomorrow, okay?"
"Why?" all three asked simultaneously. "Why do we have to leave right away? Isn't it good to rest here for a bit?" It was still Xin Yi who quickly sensed the problem. He sat down beside Roxy on the bed and took one of her hands into his palm before saying, "Roxy, let's talk about it; tell us your reasons. We will definitely listen because we are all family; family should trust each other."
"Family?" Roxy murmured as she repeated it. "Xin Yi, do you really consider me family too?"
"Of course, is there any doubt about that? What do you think?" Xin Yi looked up and asked Lijie and Shen Shanshan.
"Of course, we are all family, Roxy, you are, and always have been," Lijie and Shen Shanshan quickly replied, sensing that Roxy had something to say.
"But... but you treat me as family, yet I have deceived you!" Tears suddenly rolled down Roxy's face as she cried, "Xin Yi, I have deceived you! I am not a good woman; I approached you with an agenda. You... you should kill me! I cannot face you all!"
Roxy's words left Lijie and Shen Shanshan stunned. Roxy had been with them for quite some time, and they had not noticed anything unusual about her. But why did she say this? What was her purpose in approaching Xin Yi? And what did it mean to say it now? Lijie and Shen Shanshan were completely confused by Roxy's statement.
However, Xin Yi remained calm, his expression unchanged. He casually took a few tissues from the bedside table and gently wiped Roxy's tear-streaked face, saying, "You say you have deceived me; what exactly have you deceived me about? You claim your approach was purposeful; has that purpose been achieved? Let me answer that for you: no, you haven't deceived me at all, nor have you achieved your goal. Instead, you've stood by my side through thick and thin. In Taiwan Abai'er, you risked your life to infiltrate the Mei Organization, killing Yi Jiuchuan to obtain the Infiltrator Agent Roster. At Yin-Yang Mountain Peak, we fought against Taiwan Soldier together and even jumped off a cliff together. Is this what you call deceiving me? Is this what you mean by having a purpose in approaching me? Don't be foolish; I've already guessed your identity long ago. I kept you by my side because I need you and consider you family; it's that simple."
"Wow... ugh..." After hearing Xin Yi's words, Roxy cried even harder and buried her head in Xin Yi's embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist as she sobbed. Xin Yi was shirtless, and Roxy's overwhelming tears flowed down his chest—oh no, it was getting wet. Xin Yi held Roxy close to him and gently patted her back as if soothing a child.
Seeing this scene, Lijie and Shen Shanshan wisely chose not to ask anything further. They turned to leave, but Xin Yi stopped them. The three of them sat silently in the room while only Roxy in Xin Yi's arms made soft sobbing sounds.
After a long while, Roxy finally stopped crying but felt too embarrassed to lift her head. She remained nestled against Xin Yi's chest, anxiously shifting her body. Xin Yi patted her back and smiled, "Alright, you've cried enough. Now it's time to get down to business. What is the reason you want us to leave Lusan today?"
Roxy finally lifted her head and said nervously, "Because... because they already know we are in Lusan. They know your identity; they will definitely try to harm you..."
