There was still a distance of several meters between them. Without turning around, Bai Lixin feels a sticky, wet sensation on his back.
There seemed to be a vague black shadow moving and pressing down.
Hongyue rubbed her eyes and shivered, then instinctively rubbed her arm. “Hiss, why did it suddenly get so cold?”
While rubbing, the strap of her dress slipped and hung on her arm.
The bone-chilling chill grew even colder.
Hongyue shuddered. “It’s so cold. Wait a minute, I’ll put on some clothes.”
With that, she quickly turned around and went back to the room, leaving behind Bai Lixin, whose whole body was stiff.
Ten seconds later, when Hongyue appeared at the door again, she was already wearing a conservative and elegant felt shawl coat. She was completely awake and asked, “It’s early in the morning, dear Bai Lixin. What’s wrong?”
“…”
Bai Lixin smiled stiffly and spoke through gritted teeth “Miss, did you sleep well? Did you have any nightmares?”
I’ll tell you clearly, don’t call me dear.
Hongyue yawned. “It’s not bad. I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow. What? Did you have a nightmare? What did you dream about? Hey, why is there a layer of sweat on your head?”
Hongyue raised her eyelids. “Did you dream about the kind of things young people would dream about last night?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Hey, what are you talking about?
Hongyue seemed to think of something and her previously casual demeanor became tense. She looked at Bai Lixin tentatively. “Now that I think about it, I really had a dream yesterday. I dreamt a lot about ‘us nobles’.”
Hongyue deliberately emphasized the words “us nobles” and asked, “What about you?”
Bai Lixin and Hongyue looked at each other. “What a coincidence, Miss, I did too.”
Hongyue was slightly stunned, and her eyes gradually became serious. She understood what was going on.
Bai Lixin said, “Miss, freshen up a bit, the sun is already out. Haven’t you always been interested in Eden Resort? Let’s go shopping together later.”
Let’s investigate this strange resort together later.”
Hongyue was intelligent. With just a simple hint from Bai Lixin, she understood what he meant. After nodding seriously, she shifted her gaze outside and suddenly noticed Jia’er, who had been obscured by Bai Lixin all along.
The moment she saw Jia’er’s face, Hongyue froze for a moment.
She frowned slightly, and looked back and forth between Jia’er and Bai Lixin, her eyes filled with doubt.
Bai Lixin nodded inconspicuously and Hongyue’s eyes became more subtle. She glanced at Jia’era few more times without a trace, then reluctantly retreated to her room.
Tsk tsk tsk, interesting.

In the live broadcast room
[The early bird catches the worm. should I start getting up early? What kind of intense vinegar scene is this? Miss Jia’er is almost glaring daggers at God Xin.]
[Who can resist a jealous sister? And if this sister is a big boss in women’s clothing, it becomes even more impossible to resist.]
[God Xin: Don’t ask, it means trouble.]
[Sister Hongyue, run! Sister Jia’er has her sights on you!]
[God Xin: There’s a cold, ominous feeling, like sitting on pins and needles…]
[The boss’s facial features are delicate and soft, but he doesn’t look feminine. How did he manage to combine the styles of sophistication and heroism?]
[Hongyue: How about you start acknowledging my existence?]
[Cover your face.jpg. What qualities and abilities do I have to be able to charm two sisters at the same time? I hereby declare that this scenario is my paradise!]
[Why don’t you just enter directly?]
[Um… I’ll just take a look. As a dedicated fan, I would never interfere in any way.]
[Laughing, the problem is that you can’t interfere.]
[Hahahaha, it’s early in the morning, but I’m thoroughly entertained. Now all the pressure is on God Xin. Hahaha, God Xin should turn around quickly and see what it’s like to neglect our little sister Jia’er.]
————————
Hongyue didn’t say anything and closed the door with a loud “bang,” leaving Bai Lixin outside.
Before closing the door, she gave Bai Lixin a look that said, “I can’t help you.”
Bai Lixin: “???”
Hongyue, won’t your conscience hurt?
With a forced smile, Bai Lixin turned around and slowly walked in front of Miss Jia’er. He nodded slightly and looked down at her heroic, beautiful, and noble face. “Good morning, Miss Jia’er.”
Jia’er withdrew the fingers that had been knocking on the door frame and crossed them over her abdomen. She narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared up at Bai Lixin with a half-smile: “Mr. Xin, good morning. I knocked on the wall earlier, did you hear?”
Bai Lixin pretended to be shocked. “What?! I didn’t hear the call of the beautiful lady. I apologize for my rudeness. I must have been in the living room and didn’t notice such a soft voice. But, miss, is there something I can help you with?”
Even if he was killed, he wouldn’t admit that he heard it.
Not hearing is, at best, ignorance, and ignorance is innocent.
If he heard it and ignored it, then he knowingly committed a crime, and the crime is aggravated.
He would choose dying after two days than dying immediately.
Despite being the one looking up, Jia’er couldn’t hide the strong aura even while sitting in a wheelchair.
Bai Lixin could even vaguely perceive the black aura lingering around her.
Miss Jia’er chuckled, a half-smile on her face. “I also want to go shopping. Take me with you.”
Bai Lixin replied, “Of course. Do you need me to call Mr. Richard?”
Jia’er shook her head. “No, he probably needs to rest today. He has been tired for the past few days.”
Bai Lixin’s eyes suddenly became subtle. Jia’er manipulated the wheelchair and moved back slightly, looking back at Bai Lixin with azure blue eyes. A charming expression appeared in her eyes as she asked, “Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?”
It was like a poppy hidden deep in the grass, exuding a seductive fragrance, yet filled with danger.
Bai Lixin covered his mouth bashfully and said, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect Miss Jia’er to be so…enthusiastic and unrestrained. I was a little startled when I heard what you said earlier.”
The young man’s shyness seemed to please Jia’er, and she finally showed a long-lost smile.
“What’s the matter? Eve and Adam were created in the Garden of Eden. Father God not only gave them eternal life but also taught them various pleasures. Sex and love are always intertwined. This kind of thing should not be shamed. On the contrary, humans are both polite and indecent, and afraid to face their own desires.”
She teasingly added, “Are you still a little virgin? You seem so shy.”
Bai Lixin blushed slightly.
That’s not it. I have rich experience. Who are you looking down on?
Snort!
Jia’er’s smile became wider upon seeing Bai Lixin’s reddened cheeks. “Although my views on sex and love have always been free and unrestrained, you are mistaken, dear sir. Although Richard is my husband, nothing ever happened between us.”
“I mentioned he was exhausted a few days ago because of work. He didn’t sleep for several days, so he must be sleeping soundly today.” She lifted her slender fingers gracefully, beckoning Bai Lixin. “Come closer, Bai Lixin.”
Her voice was magnetic and smoky, and her blue pupils shimmered with a strange red light.
Bai Lixin was slightly distracted upon hearing this and obediently leaned closer to Jia’er.
Jia’er had golden curly hair, brighter than the sun, soft and fluffy like a cloud.
Her eyes resembled the sea, blue and clear, yet they held an elusive mystery.
Her fair and tight skin showed no visible pores from such a close distance.
The warm yellowish light from the porch illuminated the thin fluff on her face, giving them a golden hue.
Bai Lixin stared blankly at the “woman” across from him. He had seen many images of his lover, but this was the first time he had seen such an androgynous appearance.
Just sitting there, she was the most beautiful scenery and oil painting.
Old gong, you’re so beautiful!
In Bai Lixin’s line of sight, Jia’er slightly moved forward, bringing their faces close together. The tips of their noses were almost touching, as if they could kiss each other in the next second.
Bai Lixin stared blankly at the suddenly enlarged face in front of him, his own reflection clearly visible in Jia’er’s blue pupils.
Through his reflection, he saw Jia’er raise her arms gracefully, hook her fingers around his collar, and gently pull, adjusting the pajamas hanging off his shoulders.
Finally, Jia’er withdrew her hand, gracefully leaning back in the wheelchair. She spoke indifferently, “Mr. Xin, boys must protect themselves when they are outside. You are so beautiful, it’s easy to attract treacherous demons. From now on, no running around in your pajamas, beautiful young man.”

In the live broadcast room:
[Ahhh, shit, shit, shit, the atmosphere just now was amazing! I announce that I’m in love with the big boss in women’s clothing!]
[Boss, you are my god!]
[Ahhh, I can almost see the boss wearing women’s clothes, sitting in a wheelchair, and God Xin unbuttoning his shirt and sitting on the boss’s lap.]
[Fuck, brothers and sisters, please draw and write!]
[Wuuu, I’m drawing, I’m drawing.]
[Take your time, take your time. I’m writing, I’m writing.]
[My XP seems to have increased again. drool.jpg.]
[God Xin not only increased all my XP, but also made me rediscover my own breadth and depth. Woo woo woo, I’m actually like this! Someone, help me.]
————————
Ten minutes later, breakfast was delivered.
About half an hour later, Bai Lixin easily carried Jia’er, who was wearing a sapphire mermaid dress, and they walked side by side with Hongyue in the corridor.
Jia’er’s face was once again covered with a thick black veil, while Hongyue’s shoulders were tense.
Hongyue had opted for a lady’s horse riding outfit instead of the flashy suspender skirt from the previous day. She wore high-heeled riding boots tightly buckled on her legs, making them appear straight and slender.
Since there was no ramp on the stairs, it was inconvenient to transport the wheelchair downstairs, so Bai Lixin didn’t push it. However, when they reached the first floor, they saw a brand new wheelchair next to the stairs.
The wheelchair was pushed by an attendant dressed in gold clothes. The attendant stood upright and respectfully. Upon seeing the group, he immediately pushed the wheelchair towards them. “Guest, this is the wheelchair for the lady.”
Jia’er was in mood when he was being carried but her mood turned visibly darker after she was placed in the wheelchair.
While pushing the wheelchair, Bai Lixin carefully observed the attendant in front of him.
There was a shallow scar on the attendant’s eye, and his fingers were covered in thick calluses. After handing the wheelchair over, he stared straight ahead, motionless. If not for the occasional blinking of his eyelids, he could be mistaken for a delicate wax figure or plastic doll.
“Is this specially prepared by the resort?” Bai Lixin stepped forward, attempting to engage the attendant in conversation, hoping to trigger some information or plot.
The attendant responded, ”Yes, sir. Yesterday, we noticed that this lady had difficulty with her legs. In order to ensure a perfect experience for all guests, we prepared this wheelchair. This way, you don’t need to transport the one she brought on a daily.”
Bai Lixin said, “You’ve worked hard. Did the resort purchase the wheelchair overnight?”
The attendant raised his head and replied, “Of course not. These were made overnight by our craftsman.”
Bai Lixin asked, “Oh, so there is a craftsman in the resort?”
The attendant nodded. “Certainly, every plant and tree you see in the resort is crafted by a skilled artisan.”
Bai Lixin and Hongyue exchanged glances, and Hongyue immediately inquired, “With such talented a craftsman, I wonder if we have a chance to meet him?”
The attendant’s numb eyes flickered momentarily. “If fate allows, you may have the opportunity to meet him. However, not everyone can see the craftsman.”
Bai Lixin suggested, “Then who is this Mr. Craftsman? Where does he live? Perhaps we could personally express our gratitude.”
The attendant abruptly turned his head and fixed his cold, glass-like gaze on Bai Lixin. In a flat tone, he warned, “I strongly advise against it, sir. The craftsman dislikes being disturbed by others. Even we keep our distance when picking his creations. There’s no need to express gratitude. The guests’ willingness to use Mr. Craftsman’s works is the greatest acknowledgment for him. Do not bother. Mr. Craftsman, he is an old man with a peculiar temper. If you anger him, you won’t bear the consequences. Remember this.”
After the attendant finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Bai Lixin and Hongyue pondering the conversation.
They observed that the attendant ended the discussion unilaterally and didn’t entertain further questions. Meanwhile, other guests began descending the stairs.
The Nick family was the first to come down, with everyone except the youngest daughter having changed their attire once again.
Next, the acting quartet descended without their backpacks, and only the two actresses carried small purses for personal belongings.
Just as Miss Jia’er said, Richard didn’t come down as more people descended.
The old couple also didn’t come down.
Bai Lixin and Hongyue waited in the hall for a while before Emil finally descended from the third floor.
He was accompanied by the philanthropist couple, engaged in a lively conversation while he played with some cards.
As they approached the hall, Emil bid farewell to the philanthropist couple and approached Bai Lixin and Hongyue.
Hongyue asked with curiosity, “Why did you come down so late? What were you discussing with the philanthropist couple? You seemed quite happy.”
