"Su Bai, can you rub my back for me?"

In an unknown alley.

As Su Bai’s fists rained down, the strange cries continued without end!

This lasted for nearly ten minutes!

Watching Sun Xiaoliang get beaten into a pig’s head by him,

He felt incredibly relieved!

People like that, if you don’t teach them a lesson, they’ll never learn!

However, just as Su Bai was getting into his rhythm… “Ding-dong!”

“Dear China Bank user, Mr. Su Bai, hello! Your bank card ending in 5689 has received one hundred thousand yuan!”

At the same time, Xia Qingyan’s phone next to him also rang:

“Ding-dong!”

“Dear China Bank user, Ms. Xia Qingyan, hello! Your bank card ending in 3387 has received one hundred thousand yuan!”

Hearing the sound, Su Bai was immediately stunned!

???

Who is this? Why did someone suddenly send him money?

And… Qingyan got some too?

Suddenly,

“~Ding-a-ling”

“~Ding-a-ling”

“~Ding-a-ling”

A call came in!

Su Bai pulled out his phone and saw that it was—

Shen Xingyao!

Why was she calling him?!

After a brief hesitation, Su Bai answered the phone:

“Hello! Director Shen! Is something the matter?”

Soon, Shen Xingyao’s voice came from the other end of the line:

“Su Bai, the Heavenly God Society just issued initial membership funds to both you and Xia Qingyan, I’m just calling to confirm.”

Su Bai then realized that the sudden one hundred thousand yuan was actually the Heavenly God Society’s membership fund. His heart filled with joy, and the anger he felt because Sun Xiaoliang had leaked his address also dissipated considerably.

Anyway, he had enjoyed the beating… so… he would let him go!

Su Bai responded politely:

“Okay, Director Shen, thank you for your trouble. We both received it!”

After confirming, Shen Xingyao hung up the phone.

Suddenly receiving 100,000 yuan, Su Bai was in a great mood and quickly stood up from Sun Xiaoliang, even patting the dust off his body.

Su Bai’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he warned coldly:

“Sun Xiaoliang, I’m in a good mood today! So I’ll let you off the hook this once! But, you remember this! If you ever dare to do something like this again, it won’t be as simple as just getting a beating! Do you hear me?!”

Sun Xiaoliang lay on the ground, his face full of terror, and quickly replied:

“I know, Su Bai, I won’t dare to do it again!!!”

Su Bai glanced at him disdainfully and turned to walk towards Xia Qingyan.

Su Bai naturally took Xia Qingyan’s small hand and smiled:

“Alright! Qingyan, let’s go back!”

Xia Qingyan nodded, and the two walked hand in hand, leaving the alley gracefully, leaving only Sun Xiaoliang lying on the ground like a dead fish. It took him more than ten minutes to recover!

...Rental house.

After returning to the rental house, Su Bai and Xia Qingyan sat side by side on the sofa, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

“Su Bai… I… I’m going to take a shower!”

Xia Qingyan’s face was slightly red as she gathered her clothes and entered the bathroom.

Seeing this, Su Bai was a bit confused… taking a shower is taking a shower… why is your face red like a teapot?

Anyway, he wasn’t going to peek!

...Inside the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, Xia Qingyan’s heart pounded like thunder.

At this moment, a lovely blush spread across her face, and her heart was filled with conflicting and nervous emotions. She felt that her feelings for Su Bai might have already crossed the line of ordinary friendship… After taking off her clothes, she quickly turned on the faucet, letting the hot water flow from the shower onto her delicate body, trying to calm herself down.

“Whoosh-la-la~”

“Whoosh-la-la~”

“Whoosh-la-la~”

Feeling the warm water, she slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to get her heartbeat back to normal.

However, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to Su Bai.

She remembered their moments in the Monster Park, the warm scene of them leaving the alley hand in hand, and also… that fiery yet gentle kiss… At this moment, her heart was not only filled with sweetness and happiness, but also with intense unease and fear!

To be honest, in her heart, she wasn't sure if Su Bai's feelings for her were the same as hers. She was afraid that her confession would be rejected, and that she would lose Su Bai as a friend because of it.

A moment later, she decided to gather her courage and test Su Bai!

So, she quickly wrapped herself in a bath towel, perfectly covering her private parts, took a deep breath, and shouted towards the door:

“Um… Su… Su Bai, can you come in for a moment? I can’t reach my back, could you come in and help me scrub it?”

Hearing Xia Qingyan’s words, Su Bai was stunned.

He felt… he must have heard wrong!

Scrub her back?

Oh my god!

How could that be!

Seeing Su Bai’s lack of reaction, Xia Qingyan immediately became anxious!

She felt… this Su Bai… he wouldn’t be… oh my goodness!

“Hey! Su Bai! Did you hear me? Help me scrub my back?”

Su Bai composed himself and stammered in response:

“This… this isn’t appropriate, is it? Men and women should keep their distance!”

Hearing this, Xia Qingyan’s heart sank to the bottom.

Even, a hint of tears welled up in her eyes.

But, soon,

“Creak—”

With a soft sound, Su Bai directly pushed open the bathroom door!

Su Bai walked into the bathroom and saw Xia Qingyan with her back to him, her skin exposed beneath the bath towel was fair, delicate, and smooth. His heart suddenly quickened, and his gaze became somewhat evasive, not daring to look directly.

He couldn't help it!

Xia Qingyan was simply too beautiful!

He was afraid that if he couldn't hold back… he would… ahem!

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

Opposite him, hearing Su Bai’s footsteps, Xia Qingyan’s body tensed slightly, and her heartbeat sounded exceptionally loud in the small bathroom.

She suddenly regretted it… Now, she both hoped Su Bai would have some special reaction, but also feared he would find her too forward and be repulsed.

“Gulp! So beautiful…”

After swallowing, Su Bai quickly took a bath towel from the hanger, gently placed it on Xia Qingyan’s back, and began to scrub… His movements were steady and gentle, but his heart was in a mess… On one hand, he was a bit flustered by Xia Qingyan’s closeness, and on the other hand, he felt that such intimate contact was wonderful!

Scrubbing back… scrubbing back… scrubbing back… “Qingyan, all done, I’m going out now, okay?”

After about ten minutes, Su Bai put the bath towel back on the hanger.

“Mm~, okay, you can go out!”

She had confirmed it!

Su Bai… definitely had feelings for her!

Because… when he was scrubbing her back just now… his… accidentally touched her!

٩(๑ᵒ̴̶̷͈᷄ᗨᵒ̴̶̷͈᷅)و

It was great!

The atmosphere in the bathroom became subtle and ambiguous, but both of them had their own thoughts and lacked the courage to be the first to break the unspoken barrier.

“Creak—”

With a soft sound, Su Bai carefully closed the door and returned to the bedroom!
