"Rogue?" Xin Yi felt that this term was quite unfair when applied to himself. Of course, it wasn't him who felt wronged, but rather the term "rogue" itself. Have you ever seen such an outstanding rogue? Have you ever seen a rogue with so many beautiful fiancées? Have you ever seen a rogue idolized by countless young people in society? Have you ever seen a rogue adored by many young girls and women? If not, then please refrain from using the term "rogue" casually. Because if such standards define a rogue, what will happen to the real rogues out there? As a profession with great potential, setting such standards could lead many to face unemployment.
"Alright, I admit that my thoughts might be a bit rogue," Xin Yi could only honestly confess to Shu Rui, "But I really didn't mean to be frivolous with you or to take advantage of you." In fact, what Xin Yi truly wanted to say was that he definitely intended to take advantage of her today!
Seeing Xin Yi honestly admit his mistake, Shu Rui felt a wave of disappointment. Sigh, as a man, following through on something is the most basic quality; how could you give up so easily? Some things need to be fought for on your own. Even if I disagree, you should still try your best! I really wouldn't mind if you were a bit domineering with me; in desperate situations, you could use some tougher methods. I... I definitely wouldn't resist too much.
"Alright, I'll forgive you this time," Shu Rui replied. "But next time..."
"There can be a next time?" Xin Yi felt relieved.
"Um, there should... be," Shu Rui mumbled. "What did you say?! Damn Xin Yi, you're trying to twist my words again! Just wait until I get my hands on you!"
Come on now, as a proper Thousand-Man Slayer assassin, how could he let this little woman catch him so easily? Who knows what outrageous things she might do once she has him? A little squeezing, touching, or kissing he could tolerate; but if she were to do something truly outrageous... well, he would accept it willingly and would reluctantly cooperate under her violent threats.
"Alright, alright, I can't catch up with you," Shu Rui said while leaning against the sofa and gasping for breath. She glanced at the clock in the living room and continued, "I'm not punishing you anymore; hurry up and wash up and go to bed. I have work tomorrow, and staying up too late will make it hard for me to get up."
Only then did Xin Yi stop. He confirmed the truth of Shu Rui's words from a distance and smiled, "Thank you for sparing my life, noble lady. Such great kindness cannot be repaid; all I can do is offer myself in return..."
"Pfft... Who wants you to offer yourself? You're just a burden living off others," Shu Rui laughed. "Let me think... If you're really not useful for anything else, how about you serve me tea and water from now on? Perhaps seeing your loyalty will prompt some wealthy family to buy your freedom back for you. Now go take a shower."
"Yes," Xin Yi made a gesture of respect and then looked up with a smile and asked, "Your Highness, does allowing me to bathe mean that tonight I shall serve you in bed?"
"Get lost!" Shu Rui finally exploded. She grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Xin Yi. Anticipating this reaction after his remark, Xin Yi swiftly dodged and ran towards the bathroom. He pushed the door open and slipped inside just as Shu Rui's furious shout echoed from outside: "If you're capable, stay in there all night! Otherwise, just wait until you come out to see how I'll deal with you!"
Tragedy! What a beautiful moment, and what could be better than this? It's all because of my own slick tongue that I'm now stuck in this tiny bathroom. I originally thought tonight would mark the beginning of my great life goal, but alas... what a tragedy!
There’s something even more tragic: I have no change of clothes. Am I really going to put on these same clothes after taking a shower? I wore this outfit on the plane and just attended a welcome dinner, so my clothes are reeking of smoke and alcohol. The key issue is that tight-fitting underwear; I don’t mind too much, I can always turn it inside out, but I can't let Shu Rui find out! If she knows how little I care about personal hygiene, who knows what serious consequences might arise? For instance, she might refuse to... well, that would be a huge loss. What should I do?
Forget it, I'll just take a shower. Worst case, I'll wrap myself in a towel afterward. After all, I'm not shy; I'm a man. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be Shu Rui. However, given my looks, if I only wrap myself in a towel and go out, will I face some unknown risks? What if Shu Rui becomes infatuated with my charm and acts on her instincts? At times like this, Xin Yi knows he is powerless to resist. Sigh! Whatever will be, will be! As long as she is gentle, I’ll just swallow that bitter humiliation.
A girl's bathroom smells delightful. I wonder what brand of shampoo and body wash she uses; it’s not only fragrant but also has an aroma that quickens the blood. Xin Yi couldn’t figure out why he felt this way until he saw the pile of clothes in the basket. It dawned on him that it was due to the unique scent of women. Those clothes in the basket were worn by Shu Rui today; they must still carry her body’s fragrance. And those close-fitting... No, no! I can't look anymore!
Xin Yi quickly turned his head. He considers himself a respectable member of society, a young man who has long since moved past lowly interests. How could he engage in such sordid behavior? Sneaking peeks at a girl’s intimate clothing—what kind of decorum is that? No way! Absolutely not! Well, just one more glance—just one! Really, even though I stared for a full minute, I didn’t blink at all; that should count as just one glance, right? Huh? Why is it Little Sheep? No way! How can a CEO of a major corporation wear such tasteless underwear? Forget about anything suggestive; at least it should have some lace, right? One cannot judge by appearances; this is Xin Yi's takeaway.
In this situation, it's better to take a cold shower. Although the weather has turned a bit chilly, a cold shower can cool down... well, desires. Xin Yi turned on the cold water under the showerhead and began lathering up with Shu Rui's fragrant shampoo when suddenly there was a knock at the bathroom door.
“Xin Yi, are you done yet? I've called someone to bring you a set of pajamas; open the door and try them on!” Shu Rui called from outside.
So soon someone is bringing pajamas? This girl must be joking! Xin Yi thought: I'm barely starting to wash my hair; where did she get pajamas from? Okay, I admit that I wasted some time earlier examining those clothes Shu Rui wore; however, it was really just a little bit of time because I promised myself I'd only take one look. Of course, later on, unable to resist, I looked once... twice... many times! But I swear on my character that this process definitely didn’t exceed half an hour!
“I’m not done yet; can you wait a moment before bringing them over? It’s inconvenient for me right now!” Xin Yi replied. Indeed, in his current state it was somewhat inconvenient because the cold water from the shower had yet to conquer certain parts of his body—those parts were quite resilient—yes, absolutely embodying the spirit of revolutionary struggle.
“Bring them now!” Shu Rui shouted back. “I’m going to sleep; once I give them to you, I'm heading back to my room. You can sleep on the couch.”
Ugh... such a heartless woman! Is she really going to leave me hanging like this? Doesn’t she know I've mentally rehearsed this countless times already? How infuriating! Xin Yi hurriedly rinsed off the foam from his head, grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist, and opened the bathroom door.
Shu Rui stood at the door holding an unopened set of pajamas; it seems she really did call someone to bring them over. Xin Yi took them and said, “Thank you! I didn’t expect you actually got someone to bring pajamas; I thought…”
"What's on your mind?" Shu Rui asked with a smile, but Xin Yi always felt that there was something hidden behind that smile, though she couldn't quite grasp what it was.
"I thought you were tricking me into opening the door so you could take revenge. It seems you're not so petty after all; not only do you hold no grudges, but you even bought me pajamas. I misjudged you," Xin Yi said sincerely.
"No," Shu Rui replied with a smile and a shake of her head. "You didn't misjudge me because..." Suddenly, the hand that had been hidden behind her back shot up, holding a sofa cushion, and before Xin Yi could react, it came crashing down on her head. "I'm here for revenge!" Shu Rui declared.
This woman truly was vengeful; it was a waste of the compliments Xin Yi had just given her. She had thought she was underestimating her, but it turned out that dealing with petty people and women was indeed challenging. Although the cushion didn't hurt when it hit her, being struck like this by a woman wasn't pleasant. So, with one hand holding the pajamas that had been delivered to her and the other reaching out to grab Shu Rui's mischievous hands, Xin Yi prepared to retaliate.
How nimble Xin Yi's hands were! How could Shu Rui escape from her grasp? With just a quick motion, she caught one of Shu Rui's small hands. But Shu Rui was clever; even if one hand was caught, she still had another free hand. She swung the cushion again towards Xin Yi's head. With one hand holding the pajamas and the other grabbing Shu Rui's small hand, Xin Yi had no spare hand to control Shu Rui's other hand. So, she pulled Shu Rui towards herself, thinking that if she couldn't hold her, she could at least embrace her. First, she'd secure both of Shu Rui's hands and then see how she could swing the cushion.
Feeling Xin Yi pulling her into his embrace, Shu Rui understood his intentions and wouldn't let him succeed so easily. She quickly pushed Xin Yi back with the hand holding the cushion in an attempt to create distance and regain control of her free hand.
However, this push backfired. Just moments ago, Xin Yi hadn't moved away at all; thus, the bathroom floor was slick with water from his body mixed with shampoo and body wash. When pushed like this, Xin Yi slipped and fell backward onto the floor while still holding onto one of Shu Rui's hands. Consequently, Shu Rui also tumbled down...
