He’d even panicked and used the system to confirm she was really herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contrast was too extreme… He really hadn’t noticed at the time. Anyone would’ve been angry about something like this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting punched wasn’t worth complaining about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico’s cheeks flushed slightly—not just from embarrassment at playing this role, but mainly because the top item in the laundry basket he was carrying was one of her bold…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a beautiful day!” Ye Qingfeng walked into the balcony carrying the laundry basket and called out to Nico behind him: “Bring the quilts out here. Let them sun themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico turned and walked into the room, seeing the spotless bed—how much more pleasant it looked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for keeping Qingfeng around, he’d need a proper plan—but Billy wouldn’t escape either. First, dock him fifty percent of his wages!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico carried the quilt to the balcony, slowing her pace as she neared the railing, looking for a chance to sneak glances at Ye Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Qingfeng was hanging only her clothes, including a few of her intimate items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he arrived, the meals had improved, and he often cleaned and did chores. At first, she’d watched him closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every motion he made was swift and efficient. Without realizing it, he’d taken over most of the chores in Rabbit’s Den—things she’d always done herself. Later, she happily let him handle them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingfeng never complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, she even handed him the laundry duty—even though most of the clothes were hers and Anbi’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi’s life skills? Forget it. If she did laundry, she’d probably chop the house down. As for hanging clothes, who did it didn’t matter—Emily could’ve done it just as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she didn’t want to! She just couldn’t do it well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nico knew she was terrible at these tasks. Qingfeng even told her he’d hang the laundry. She didn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d never cared about such things before—washed clothes were just handed to her younger brother to hang. She never felt shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, seeing Qingfeng pick up her intimate garments, her face burned and her heart raced inexplicably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you don’t hang my or Anbi’s clothes!” Nico stormed over, cheeks flushed, snatched the clothes and basket from his hands, and shoved him out without a word: “Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng, kicked out of the balcony, stood there blank-minded. Hearing the door slam shut behind him, he shrugged helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was easier this way, but he never expected Nico would snatch chores away from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rabbit’s Den had only one washing machine. Originally, every time he wanted to wash clothes, the machine was full of theirs. When he asked Nico to hang them, she’d refuse to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d had no choice but to hang their clothes first just to wash his own. Every time she saw him carrying the laundry basket to the balcony, she’d say: “Thanks for your hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she’d vanish the next second…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, grocery duty had fallen back on him. He changed clothes in his room and headed downstairs to go shopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anbi, come with me to buy groceries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Qingfeng stepped downstairs, he saw Anbi sitting quietly on the sofa, staring blankly ahead—clearly waiting for Nico to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi instantly stood up and walked straight ahead of him toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” Ye Qingfeng snapped, grabbing her collar and yanking her back. “Go upstairs and change your clothes first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi scampered upstairs, footsteps tapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng sat on the single sofa, enjoying Nico’s usual spot, and pulled out his phone to check for messages while he waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His contacts outside Rabbit’s Den were only Ling and Zhe, the brother-sister pair, and Officer Zhu Yuan—our righteous, ultra-cute, and utterly formidable policewoman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And lo and behold, Zhu Yuan had sent a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Qingfeng, are you free tomorrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: Free! What’s up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Great! The Public Safety Bureau is launching a safety awareness campaign. Lately, female residents keep being harassed by perverts. Tomorrow we’re going to the school to demonstrate how students should respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: …So what am I supposed to play?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: (nervous sweat emoji) The pervert…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: Have you ever seen a pervert this handsome?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Originally, we planned to have Bureau officers play the role. But Qingyi Senior suddenly suggested letting residents take it. No one objected…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: But the event starts tomorrow, and we need rehearsal this afternoon. We couldn’t find anyone quickly. Qingyi Senior said she knew someone perfect for the role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Chief Bringer was getting impatient with the whole thing, so he immediately approved Qingyi Senior’s suggestion and told her to call this friend to check availability…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Then Qingyi Senior said she didn’t have the friend’s contact info—and suddenly pointed at me, saying I had it. All eyes turned to me. Thinking about it now still makes me cringe… (face-palm shy emoji)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Turns out Qingyi Senior meant you. Wait—when did you get so close to Qingyi Senior? I thought her friends were all elderly folks. But it’s great you two are friends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: So can you come to the Bureau this afternoon? It won’t take much of your time. Tomorrow will probably take half a morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: Fine… I’ll come this afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Thanks so much! If you’re free tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: No problem. You pay, Qingyi covers it. Just tell her directly—if she agrees, I’ll definitely come. Also, send me her contact info.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: Okay, I’ll send you Qingyi Senior’s number later. See you this afternoon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng put down his phone and glanced at the empty staircase upstairs, wondering why Anbi was taking so long to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s Qingyi playing at? Does she think I have nothing better to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she says I’m perfect for playing a pervert? Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m this handsome—if I play a pervert, I’ll make girls faint. If I could beat Qingyi, I’d definitely smack her ass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… Guess cleaning will have to wait two more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the crisp sound of footsteps descending the stairs came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap the refresh button, and if you’re not leaving a comment, give it a 4 or 5-star rating (*￣3￣)?\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-20T20:13:17.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0cc7372a0c73b5715368262ea861db22a46429fd7b4f1e98e4b89f2b8508d735","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-61","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-59",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
