Chapter 127

It made him obsessed.

"Your place isn't out of water, is it?"

Qin Bei asked with a dark face.

"No, it's not."

Jiang Siyu shook her head.

"That's great—perfect timing for a shower."

Qin Bei's face lit up with delight.

"Come in first—I'm cooking."

Jiang Siyu quickly stepped aside.

Qin Bei stepped inside.

His expression held a touch of awe, even a hint of pride.

Who could resist a childhood friend who's a virtuous wife and devoted mother?

"You go ahead and shower—I'll keep working."

Jiang Siyu waved her hand.

"Got it."

Qin Bei nodded, then headed straight for the bathroom.

Their families had long been intimately familiar with each other.

Since childhood, they had run wild in each other's homes.

They knew every layout of each other's houses inside and out.

He walked into the bathroom holding his clothes.

What met his eyes was a pile of white clothing.

Including… panties.

"Sss… I heard girls who like white are pure and beautiful—looks like the internet's right."

Qin Bei muttered to himself.

Then he hung up his own clothes.

He tried hard to ignore the pair of white garments.

Jiang Siyu, still busy in the kitchen, suddenly stiffened.

She seemed to recall something.

Her face instantly flushed bright red.

"Damn it—I should've put them away after washing. I hope Xiao Bei didn't see them."

Jiang Siyu muttered to herself.

As she spoke, her face flushed again.

How could he not have seen them?

They were placed so conspicuously.

Thinking about it,

Jiang Siyu's emotions grew unsettled.

Suddenly,

The lock clicked.

Jiang Siyu's expression froze.

"Dad's back? That's rare."

Indeed, the one who opened the door was Jiang Bufan.

"Dad, you're back."

Jiang Siyu said casually.

"Mm, I finished today's work early—got a chance to sneak home."

Jiang Bufan nodded.

Then his gaze turned curious.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

As he spoke, he stepped toward the bathroom.

After all, isn't the first thing any man does when he gets home use the toilet?

Jiang Siyu was about to answer Jiang Bufan's question when she saw his hand resting on the bathroom door.

"Don't go in!"

Jiang Siyu shouted loudly.

But it was too late.

The bathroom door swung open.

The two men's gazes met.

"S…nice figure."

After a long pause, Jiang Bufan finally managed to say that.

Jiang Siyu rushed frantically to stand in front of Jiang Bufan.

She quickly shut the bathroom door.

But her peripheral vision still stole a glance toward the bathroom interior.

Her face turned slightly red.

This figure... is indeed quite good.

On the sofa, three people were sitting together.

"So, because your home has no water, that's why you came to my place to take a shower, right?" Jiang Bufan commented, crossing his legs.

"Oh, Uncle Jiang, with our relationship, why draw a line between your place and mine?"

Qin Bei said with a slightly shameless tone.

"Then, do you want to sleep here tonight?"

Jiang Bufan said in a sarcastic tone.

"I wouldn't mind; anyway, I haven't slept here before."

Qin Bei waved his hand.

"Then I'll go get the bedding ready for you."

Jiang Siyu's eyes lit up.

She then hurriedly ran to her own house.

Jiang Bufan did not stop her.

After Jiang Siyu left their sight, Jiang Bufan's expression began to change.

"I haven't seen you at home these past few days; where have you been?"

Jiang Bufan asked with a serious expression.

"I... I was just at the settlement. Since I don't have to go to school, I took this opportunity to look around properly."

Qin Bei gave an awkward smile.

"So that's how it is. However, the settlement has been unstable lately; don't run around everywhere."

"After all, those Dawn guys, who knows what they're up to. Be careful yourself."

Jiang Bufan said with a serious expression.

"I understand, Uncle Jiang."

Qin Bei nodded silently, his mind involuntarily recalling that Rat King.

According to that female comrade from the Night Patrol Bureau.

The reason the Rat King went berserk later was that he used Dawn's berserk potion.

"Also, perhaps others need to hide their identities if they obtain something, but you don't. Go ahead boldly; as long as you don't endanger humanity, no one can do anything to you."

Jiang Bufan said with deep meaning.

Qin Bei's gaze flickered.
