Sunlight streamed through the wooden lattice on the roof of the yurt, and Shui Miao opened his eyes. The days of continuous rain had finally passed, and once again he could see the crisp, clear blue sky.
More than three months had passed.
Shui Miao had not returned to Zhonghai City, nor had he stayed in Huanghai City. Instead, he bought an RV and came to the vast grasslands of Hulunbuir.
In Shui Miao’s words, the air here was fresh, the sky expansive, and the open view not only good for health, but also for sharpening the mind.
But in reality, life on the grasslands wasn’t as idyllic as Shui Miao had imagined. There were winds and rains, wolves, and countless mosquitoes. If he wanted something tasty to eat, he had to travel all the way to town to buy the ingredients, and then cook them himself. In short, life was still as complicated and tedious as ever.
Of course, Shui Miao wasn’t alone. He was accompanied by four beauties: Lin Xue, Lin Zhiling, Sister Tang, and Xiao Shuang.
Chen Meiling, Shui Miao’s mother, Auntie Yang, and Chenxiang had just returned to Zhonghai City a few days ago. Although life here was easygoing and carefree, they still found it hard to adjust, especially to the increasingly cold weather. Thus, they all returned to the more temperate Zhonghai.
Shui Miao stayed not just for leisure, but to build a large dairy farm by the Bayin River. The company was expanding into new industries and planning to establish a dairy group, which was why the sharp and capable Lin Zhiling had been transferred here.
Of course, the other three beauties were also top talents. For example, Xiao Shuang was an expert in architecture and accounting, and was particularly skilled at managing finances. Sister Tang, on the other hand, had voluntarily stepped down from her position as general manager of the catering department to come and take care of Shui Miao. She had even brought two assistants with her, and when it came to meals, there wasn’t a single problem.
As for Lin Xue, the tough girl among women, she had also volunteered to come to the grasslands. She loved the grasslands and the carefree lifestyle. She even took it upon herself to care for the cows and drive away hungry wolves. Of course, she had also brought two Tibetan Mastiffs and three puppies. Because of their arrival, the wolf packs had been forced to migrate north.
Shui Miao was the nominal chairman but rarely interfered in the details.
Actually, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but these beauties were just too capable, leaving no need for him to get involved.
A soft pitter-patter of footsteps approached, and Shui Miao knew it was Sister Tang sneaking over to check if he was awake. Lying in bed, he exhaled softly, “Come in. No need to sneak around. Did you bring me sheep’s milk and egg pancakes again?” Shui Miao was at his wits’ end with Sister Tang. She kept bringing him all sorts of food every day without ever seeming tired.
Guided by the principle that to win a man’s heart, one must first win his stomach, Sister Tang served Shui Miao diligently every day, showing an impressive determination that wouldn’t stop until she had won him over.
Sure enough, Sister Tang entered, carrying a fruit tray.
She was dressed in a very sexy little chef outfit, her cleavage partially visible. With small, quick steps like a Japanese woman, she approached Shui Miao, knelt on the woolen rug, placed the tray on the coffee table, first performed a graceful bow, and then smiled sweetly at him, using a cloying tone that could kill, “Master, you’ve worked hard. This is a carefully prepared breakfast from Xiao Tang Tang for you: two fried eggs, a sausage, and a glass of rich milk. It’ll get cold soon, so please enjoy it quickly.”
“What!?”
Shui Miao looked at the arrangement of the fried eggs and sausage on the tray, and instantly felt a little dizzy. Combined with the rich milk, it was just damn perfect!
“Sister Tang, are you trying to seduce me?”
Sunlight streamed through the wooden lattice at the top of the yurt. Shui Miao opened his eyes—the days of continuous rain had finally passed, and he could once again see the cold, blue sky.
More than three months had gone by.
Shui Miao hadn’t returned to Zhonghai City, nor had he stayed in Huanghai City. Instead, he bought an RV and drove to the Hulunbuir Grasslands.
In his own words, the skies here were high and clear, the air refreshing, and the views expansive. Living here was not only good for his health but also sharpened his mind.
But in reality, the grasslands weren’t as idyllic as Shui Miao had imagined. There was wind, rain, wolves, and countless mosquitoes. If he wanted to eat something to his taste, he had to make a long trek to the city to buy ingredients, then cook them himself. In short, life was still full of trivialities.
Of course, Shui Miao wasn’t alone. He had four beauties accompanying him: Lin Xue, Lin Zhiling, Sister Tang, and Xiao Shuang.
Chen Meiling, Shui Miao’s mother, Aunt Yang, and Chen Xiang had just returned to Zhonghai City a few days prior. Although life here was relaxed and carefree, they hadn’t quite adjusted, especially to the increasingly cold weather. So, they all went back to the milder climate of Zhonghai City.
Shui Miao stayed behind not just for leisure but to build a large dairy farm by the Bayin River. His company was expanding into new ventures, planning to establish a dairy group, which was why the highly capable Lin Zhiling had been transferred here.
The other three beauties were also elites in their own right. Xiao Shuang, for instance, was skilled in construction and accounting, making her an excellent manager of finances. Sister Tang had voluntarily given up her position as general manager of the catering department to come take care of Shui Miao. She even brought two helpers with her, so meal preparations were never an issue.
Then there was Lin Xue, a tomboy among women, who had also volunteered to come to the grasslands. She loved the open plains and the carefree lifestyle, even taking on the responsibility of tending to the dairy cows and fending off hungry wolves. She also brought along two Tibetan Mastiffs and three puppies. Because of their presence, the wolf packs had no choice but to migrate north.
Shui Miao was the honorary chairman but rarely involved himself in day-to-day matters.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; it was just that these women were so capable they didn’t need his input.
A faint patter of footsteps approached. Shui Miao knew it was Sister Tang sneaking over to see if he was awake. Lying in bed, he let out a soft sigh. “Come in, no need to sneak around. Did you bring me milk and egg pancakes again?” Shui Miao was both amused and exasperated by Sister Tang’s relentless efforts to feed him all sorts of delicacies, never seeming to tire of it.
Sister Tang lived by the motto: “To win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach.” She attended to Shui Miao diligently every day, with an astonishing determination to win him over, no matter what.
Sure enough, Sister Tang entered with a fruit platter.
She was dressed in a surprisingly sexy little chef’s outfit, her cleavage subtly visible. With small, quick steps, she approached Shui Miao like a Japanese woman, knelt on the felt rug, placed the platter on the tea table, and bowed slightly before turning to Shui Miao with a sweet, cloying smile. “Master, you’ve worked hard. Little Tang Tang has prepared two fried eggs, a ham sausage, and a glass of rich milk for you. They’ll get cold soon, so please enjoy them quickly.”
“What!?”
Shui Miao took one look at the arrangement of the fried eggs and ham sausage on the platter and felt a bit dizzy. Combined with the glass of milk, it was a downright provocative display!
“Sister Tang, are you… trying to seduce me?”
Scratching his head, Shui Miao had to admit that Sister Tang’s outfit and the suggestive plating had certainly stirred something in him.
“Master, what do you mean?” Sister Tang’s voice shifted into a childish, doll-like tone.
She was clearly trying to tempt him!
Shui Miao felt an itch in his heart, tempted to strip Sister Tang bare and have his way with her right then and there. But he was a calm person by nature. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to see just how far Sister Tang was willing to go. He coughed lightly and said, “Well, Japanese geishas are known for dancing. How about you dance for me?”
“Really? You want to see?” Sister Tang blushed, looking at Shui Miao.
“Of course! It’s not a strip tease, so why not?” Shui Miao sat up and grinned. “Even if it were a strip tease, I’d watch. I just doubt you’d dare.”
He didn’t believe Sister Tang would actually have the nerve to take her clothes off.
“Fine, you said it.” Sister Tang raised an eyebrow, turned around boldly, and pulled down the cloth curtain.
“Hey, I asked you to dance. Why are you closing the curtain?” Shui Miao sensed trouble and quickly reached for his clothes.
“What, scared?” Sister Tang turned back, undoing her clothes as she walked toward him. She stripped off her top, revealing her bra, and climbed onto the bed, pressing herself against Shui Miao with a seductive gaze. She occasionally lifted her short skirt, exposing her snow-white thighs.
“Scared? Why would I be scared?” Shui Miao claimed he wasn’t afraid, but inwardly he was struggling to restrain himself. Sister Tang’s figure had only improved, and her feminine allure was irresistible.
“Woof! Woof!”
Just as Shui Miao was about to lose control, the barking of Tibetan Mastiffs echoed outside.
From the sound, it was Lin Xue returning.
“What a buzzkill. You got lucky today…” Sister Tang sighed in frustration, quickly got off the bed, dressed, picked up the fruit platter, and left.
Lin Xue was a force to be reckoned with—even Shui Miao was somewhat intimidated by her, let alone Sister Tang.
Shui Miao wasn’t hungry but couldn’t resist teasing Sister Tang. “Hey, I haven’t eaten yet!”
“Hmph! Too late for that now!” Sister Tang paused, flashed a seductive smile, and made a throat-slitting gesture. “Tonight, I’m definitely going to—”
“Uh…” Shui Miao was taken aback, feeling that these women were becoming increasingly aggressive due to his constant restraint.
Lately, Shui Miao had been thinking it might be time to enjoy some earthly pleasures.
But despite these thoughts, his mind remained heavy.
On the surface, Shui Miao seemed to be living a carefree life, surrounded by beauties and attended to by dedicated helpers, without a worry in the world.
In reality, however, he often found himself unconsciously thinking about his seven brothers who shared the same soul origin. He wondered how they were doing, whether they were being plotted against, and what hardships they might be facing. This concern was uncontrollable and arose naturally. As a fragment of the same soul, Shui Miao felt a unique bond with them.
Then there was the matter of cultivation.
Although the middle-aged scholar had stripped Shui Miao of all his special abilities, he could still enter a meditative state and retained a trace of soul-devouring power. If he wished, he could start his cultivation anew with that sliver of power.
As for Buddhist practice, Shui Miao remained chaste precisely because he constantly contemplated Buddhist teachings. Despite the beauties around him, his heart remained calm. But as time passed, he realized he couldn’t completely rid himself of worldly desires. His mind still wandered to things normal people thought about, such as lust!
“Whew!”
Without caring what Shui Miao was doing, Lin Xue yanked the cloth curtain aside, letting more light into the yurt.
Shui Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Being with Lin Xue was relaxing—it was like hanging out with a buddy. They were practically at the point of bathing together naked.
“Heh heh.” Lin Xue was dressed in cowboy attire, wearing horse-riding boots, a red cowboy hat, and black sunglasses. She grinned, pointing her horsewhip at Shui Miao before plopping down beside him. “Xiao Shui, I saw Sister Tang leaving your place. Her clothes were all disheveled. Spill it—did you two do it?”
“Do what?” Shui Miao looked at her innocently. She had been out horseback riding and was drenched in sweat.
“You know what! Stop playing dumb. I’m talking about a man and a woman getting naked and hugging!” Lin Xue casually dropped this bombshell, set down her horsewhip, took off her cowboy jacket, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt. “It’s so hot! Meanwhile, you’re still in bed. Be careful, or you’ll get fat like a pig.”
Lin Xue didn’t treat Shui Miao like a man at all. Her voluptuous breasts swayed visibly under her shirt, enough to dazzle anyone.
Shui Miao frowned. “Sister Lin, have some decency! Why aren’t you wearing a bra? Are you trying to seduce me too?”
“A bra!” Lin Xue looked down and suddenly realized, her face flushing slightly. She rolled her eyes at Shui Miao. “Pfft, is that necessary? You’re planning to become a monk. Even if I stripped completely naked for you, what could you do? Would you dare?”
Her words were cutting, almost blatantly disdainful!
Shui Miao’s face burned with intensity. He was eager to teach Lin Xue a lesson and prove his worth, but calmness was a devil, and that devil had him firmly in its grasp.
“Stinky Xiao Shui, you peeped at me? Well, now it’s my turn to look at you!” Though Lin Xue appeared composed on the surface, she was actually stirred up. She suddenly turned and roughly reached under the blanket, grabbing little Shui Miao. But the next moment, she yanked her hand back, her face flushed crimson. She stood up, stamped her foot, and said, “You’re disgusting! Hiding a flashlight under your blanket? I have things to do. I’m not messing around with you anymore.”
Lin Xue hurried out of the yurt, her chest heaving and swaying enticingly.
“…”
A wave of pleasure washed over him. Shui Miao scratched his head with mixed emotions, quickly got up, and started putting on his clothes. But “that thing” was indeed like a flashlight, making it impossible to zip up his pants…
“Shui Miao, are you there?”
At this worst possible moment, Xiao Shuang arrived.
“Yes, yes, I’m here…” Shui Miao turned his back instinctively and responded.
Xiao Shuang chuckled and stepped into the yurt. Seeing Shui Miao fiddling with something, she asked, “Huh, Shui Miao, what are you doing?”
“N-nothing. The zipper on my pants is broken. It’s a small issue…” Shui Miao didn’t know what else to say.
Innocent and warm-hearted, Xiao Shuang smiled gently. “I thought it was something serious. Let me help you. When it comes to sewing and mending, it’s best to leave it to us women.”
Deft and skillful, Xiao Shuang moved to assist him, but Shui Miao quickly turned away. “No need, I can manage.”
“Come on, Xiao Shui, don’t be shy with me!” Xiao Shuang seemed offended instead. She grabbed Shui Miao’s arm, and with a “click,” the zipper went up. However, his pants bulged conspicuously. “Oh my! Look at you, such a grown man who can’t even dress properly! Here, let me help you…”
Xiao Shuang’s delicate hand went directly to “that bulge.”
“Master, what do you mean by that!?”
Sister Tang changed her tone, even imitating a baby voice.
She was clearly trying to seduce him!
Shui Miao felt his heart fluttering with desire, wanting to tear Sister Tang’s clothes off and take her right there, but he was a very calm person by nature. Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he wanted to see just how far Sister Tang would go with her shameless antics. So Shui Miao coughed twice and said, “Well, Japanese geishas can dance, right? Dance for me.”
“Really? You want to watch?”
Sister Tang blushed slightly and looked at Shui Miao.
“Of course, why not! It’s not like it’s a strip tease or anything. Why wouldn’t I watch? Even if it was a strip tease, I’d still watch. I just don’t think you’d dare to do it!”
Shui Miao didn’t believe Sister Tang would actually dare to take off all her clothes.
“Fine, that’s what you said.”
Sister Tang raised her eyebrows, quickly turned around, and boldly pulled down the curtain…
“Hey, I told you to dance, why are you closing the curtain?”
Shui Miao felt something was wrong and hurried to get dressed.
“Scared?”
Sister Tang turned around, walking back toward him while taking off her clothes. She stripped off her top, revealing her bra, then crawled onto the bed, giving him a seductive look as she pressed her body against his. She kept lifting her short skirt, showing off her white thighs…
“Scared? What do I have to be scared of!”
Shui Miao said he wasn’t scared, but he was trying hard to control himself. Sister Tang’s figure was getting better and better, and her unique feminine charm was irresistible.
“Woof woof!”
Just as Shui Miao was getting overwhelmed, two barks from Tibetan Mastiffs rang out.
From the sound, it was Lin Xue returning.
“What a buzzkill. You’re off the hook today…”
Sister Tang sighed in frustration, quickly got off the bed, put her clothes back on, and left with the tray.
Lin Xue, that rough and tough woman, even Shui Miao was a bit afraid of her, so Sister Tang was even more intimidated.
Shui Miao wasn’t hungry at all, but he teased Sister Tang on purpose, “Hey, I haven’t eaten yet!”
“Hmph! Now you want to eat? Too late!” Sister Tang stopped in her tracks, gave him a seductive smile, and made a gesture across her throat, “Tonight, I’ll definitely finish you off…”
“Uh…”
Shui Miao was stunned. This woman was truly terrifying. His constant yielding only seemed to fuel their aggressive hormones!
In recent days, Shui Miao had come to a realization—he should start enjoying the pleasures of life.
But thinking was one thing; his heart still felt heavy.
On the surface, Shui Miao was accompanied by beauties, served by attendants, living an easy and stress-free life.
But in reality, he always found himself thinking, intentionally or unintentionally, about his seven brothers who shared the same soul. He constantly wondered how they were doing, whether they were being tricked, and what kinds of experiences they were going through. This concern was uncontrollable and natural. As a fragment of the same soul, Shui Miao had a special bond with those seven brothers.
Another issue was cultivation.
Although the middle-aged scholar had stripped Shui Miao of all his special abilities, Shui Miao could still enter a meditative state and retained a trace of his soul-devouring power. Therefore, if he wished, he could start all over again using that tiny bit of soul-devouring power.
As for Buddhist cultivation, it was precisely because he constantly thought about cultivation that he had maintained his chastity. Even with beauties around him, Shui Miao remained calm and composed. But as time went on, he found he couldn’t completely rid himself of worldly thoughts. He couldn’t help but think about things that normal men would think about—like beauty!
“Hmph!”
Lin Xue didn’t care what Shui Miao was doing. She simply pulled the curtain aside, dragging it to the side, letting more light into the yurt.
Shui Miao sighed in relief. Being with Lin Xue was so easygoing, like two guys hanging out, practically to the point of showering together naked.
“Hehe.” Lin Xue wore a pair of jeans, cowboy boots, a red hat, and even sported a pair of black glasses on her nose. Smiling, she pointed the horsewhip at Shui Miao and sat down beside him, “Little Shui, I saw Sister Tang leaving your place. She hadn’t even finished dressing. Spill it, did you two do it?”
“Do what?”
Shui Miao looked innocently at Lin Xue. She had just returned from horseback riding, sweating all over.
“What else? Pretending to be clueless, huh! I’m talking about a man and a woman being naked and hugging each other,” Lin Xue said casually, putting down the whip, taking off her denim jacket, and unbuttoning the top two buttons of her shirt, “It’s so hot! You haven’t even gotten up yet. Be careful you don’t get fat.”
Lin Xue didn’t treat Shui Miao like a man. The pair of big white rabbits under her shirt were flashing around, almost blinding him.
Shui Miao curled his lips, “Lin Jie, you’re really not being proper. Don’t you even wear a bra under there? Are you trying to seduce me?”
“A bra!”
Lin Xue looked down and suddenly realized, her face slightly reddening as she shot Shui Miao a glare, “Tsk, do I really need one? You’re practically a monk already. Even if I took everything off for you, what could you do? Do you dare?”
That was such a vicious remark, practically a blatant form of contempt!
Shui Miao’s face flushed with heat. He really wanted to show Lin Xue who was boss, but his calmness was the devil holding him back tightly.
“Little Shui, you were peeking at me, weren’t you? Well then, I want to peek at you too.” Although Lin Xue appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already stirred. Suddenly, she turned around and rudely reached under the covers, grabbing hold of Little Shui Miao. But the next moment, Lin Xue quickly pulled her hand back. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she stood up, stomping her foot, “You’re so gross! Hiding a flashlight under the covers! I have things to do. I’m not going to waste my time with you anymore.”
Lin Xue quickly walked out of the yurt, her chest heaving and swaying, captivating to watch.
“…”
Feeling a wave of pleasure from below, Shui Miao scratched his head with a complicated mood and hurriedly got up to dress. But the thing down there was really like a flashlight, making it impossible to zip up his pants…
“Shui Miao, Shui Miao, are you there?”
Just when things were getting intense, Xiao Shuang showed up.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Shui Miao quickly turned his back instinctively and responded.
Sunlight streamed through the wooden lattice at the top of the yurt. Shui Miao opened his eyes—the days of continuous rain had finally passed, and he could once again see the cold, blue sky.
More than three months had gone by.
Shui Miao hadn’t returned to Zhonghai City, nor had he stayed in Huanghai City. Instead, he bought an RV and drove to the Hulunbuir Grasslands.
In his own words, the skies here were high and clear, the air refreshing, and the views expansive. Living here was not only good for his health but also sharpened his mind.
But in reality, the grasslands weren’t as idyllic as Shui Miao had imagined. There was wind and rain, wolves, and countless mosquitoes. If he wanted to eat something to his taste, he had to make a long trek to the city to buy ingredients, then cook them himself. In short, life was still full of trivialities.
Of course, Shui Miao wasn’t alone. He had four beauties accompanying him: Lin Xue, Lin Zhiling, Sister Tang, and Xiao Shuang.
Chen Meiling, Shui Miao’s mother, Aunt Yang, and Chen Xiang had just returned to Zhonghai City a few days prior. Although life here was relaxed and carefree, they hadn’t quite adjusted, especially to the increasingly cold weather. So, they all went back to the milder climate of Zhonghai City.
Shui Miao stayed behind not just for leisure but to build a large dairy farm by the Bayin River. His company was expanding into new ventures, planning to establish a dairy group, which was why the highly capable Lin Zhiling had been transferred here.
The other three beauties were also elites. Xiao Shuang, for instance, was skilled in construction and accounting, making her an excellent manager of finances. Sister Tang had voluntarily given up her position as general manager of the catering department to come take care of Shui Miao. She even brought two helpers with her, so meal preparations were never an issue.
Then there was Lin Xue, a tomboy among women, who had also volunteered to come to the grasslands. She loved the open plains and the carefree lifestyle, even taking on the responsibility of tending to the dairy cows and fending off hungry wolves. She also brought along two Tibetan Mastiffs and three puppies, forcing the wolf packs to migrate northward.
Shui Miao was the nominal chairman but rarely involved himself in day-to-day matters.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but these women were so capable that they hardly needed his input.
The sound of light, pattering footsteps reached his ears. Shui Miao knew it was Sister Tang sneaking over to see if he was awake. Lying in bed, he let out a soft sigh. “Come in, no need to sneak around. Did you bring me milk and egg pancakes again?” He was both amused and exasperated by Sister Tang’s relentless efforts to feed him all sorts of dishes, never seeming to tire of it.
Sister Tang lived by the motto: “To win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach.” She attended to Shui Miao diligently every day, with an astonishing determination to win him over, no matter what.
Sure enough, Sister Tang entered with a fruit platter.
She was dressed in a surprisingly sexy little chef’s outfit, her cleavage subtly visible. With small, delicate steps reminiscent of a Japanese woman, she knelt on the felt rug, placed the platter on the coffee table, and bowed slightly before turning to Shui Miao with a sweet, cloying smile. “Master, you’ve worked hard. This is Xiao Tang’s specially prepared breakfast for you: two fried eggs, a ham sausage, and a glass of rich milk. It’ll get cold soon, so please enjoy it quickly.”
“What!?”
Shui Miao took one look at the arrangement of the fried eggs and ham sausage on the platter and felt a wave of dizziness. Combined with the glass of milk, it was a downright provocative setup.
“Sister Tang, are you… trying to seduce me?”
Scratching his head, Shui Miao had to admit that her outfit and the suggestive plating were stirring something in him.
“Master, what do you mean?” Sister Tang’s voice shifted into a childish, doll-like tone.

Lin Xue was a force to be reckoned with—even Shui Miao was somewhat intimidated by her, let alone Sister Tang.
Shui Miao wasn’t hungry but decided to tease Sister Tang anyway. “Hey, I haven’t eaten yet!”
“Hmph! Now you want to eat? Too late!” Sister Tang stopped in her tracks, flashed a seductive smile, and made a throat-slitting gesture. “Tonight, I’m definitely going to—”
“Uh…” Shui Miao shuddered, feeling that this woman was truly terrifying. His attempts to hold back had only fueled their aggression.
Lately, Shui Miao had been thinking it was time for him to enjoy some earthly pleasures.
But thoughts were one thing; his heart remained heavy.
On the surface, Shui Miao had beauties accompanying him, dedicated attendants, and a carefree, pressure-free life.

Her words were cutting, a blatant challenge.
Shui Miao’s face flushed with heat. He was eager to teach Lin Xue a lesson and prove his worth, but calmness, like a devil, restrained him.
“You little pervert, sneaking a peek at me? Not fair—I want to see you too.” Though Lin Xue appeared composed, she was actually stirred. Suddenly, she turned and roughly reached into the blanket, grabbing little Shui Miao. But the next moment, she yanked her hand back, stood up blushing, and stomped her foot. “You’re disgusting, hiding a flashlight under your blanket! I have things to do. I’m not messing around with you.”

“Shui Miao, are you there?”
At the worst possible moment, Xiao Shuang arrived.
“Yes, yes, I’m here…” Shui Miao turned his back instinctively and responded.
Xiao Shuang giggled as she entered the yurt and saw Shui Miao fiddling with something. “Oh, Shui Miao, what are you doing?”
“N-nothing. The zipper on my pants is broken. It’s nothing serious…” Shui Miao didn’t know what else to say.
Innocent and warm-hearted, Xiao Shuang smiled gently. “I thought it was something big. Let me help you. When it comes to sewing and mending, it’s best to leave it to us women.”
Deft and eager to assist, Xiao Shuang moved to help, but Shui Miao quickly turned away. “No, no, I can handle it.”
“Come on, Xiao Shui, don’t be shy with me!” Xiao Shuang pouted, grabbing Shui Miao’s arm. With a “click,” the zipper went up, but his pants bulged conspicuously. “Oh my! Look at you—such a grown man, and you can’t even dress properly! Here, let me help you…”
Xiao Shuang’s delicate hand rested directly on the bulge.
“N-nothing, the zipper on my pants is broken, it’s nothing serious…”
Shui Miao didn’t know how else to respond.
Xiao Shuang was innocent, enthusiastic, and smiled warmly, “I thought it was something important. Let me help you. Things like sewing and mending are best handled by us women.”
Xiao Shuang was skilled with her hands and wanted to help Shui Miao, but he quickly turned his back to her, “No, no, I can do it myself.”
“Oh come on, Shui Miao, you don’t need to be so polite with me!”
Xiao Shuang was actually a bit upset. She grabbed Shui Miao’s arm and heard a “snap”—the zipper was up, but the pants were bulging out in a noticeable lump.
“Oh! Look at you, you’re such a big guy and you can’t even dress yourself properly! Come on, let me help you…”
Xiao Shuang’s delicate hand went straight for that bulge.
