Little Yin's hair was still wet, tied up in a bun at the back of her head.

 

She only wrapped herself in a pink towel, exposing her shoulders, with a few drops of water still on her collarbone.

 

He Gu glanced at her and immediately awkwardly looked away.

 

Can't you come out after you put on your clothes inside?

 

Who can stand this!?

 

He Gu silently complained in his heart and said, "Um… should I go out first?"

 

Little Yin ignored He Gu and walked straight to the edge of the bed, then said, "Give me your towel."

 

"Oh, okay." He Gu agreed and went to the sink to take down his own towel hanging on the wall and handed it to Little Yin.

 

It was a blue towel, which he had just bought a few days ago.

 

Little Yin took He Gu's towel, frowned, sniffed it, and then started drying her hair.

 

The whole process was extremely torturous for He Gu. Standing or sitting, he didn't know where to put his eyes.

 

"I'll buy you a new towel as compensation."

 

He Gu said and was about to leave, trying to avoid this embarrassing and strange scene.

 

However, just as He Gu lifted his leg, Little Yin stopped him, "Don't go! I'm scared alone!"

 

He Gu froze and, unable to refuse her request, had to stop his steps.

 

After thinking for a moment, He Gu asked unwillingly, "Then what about your towel? I should compensate you."

 

Little Yin casually said, "It's fine, I'll use yours from now on. I don't mind."

 

He Gu:……

 

A few minutes later, Little Yin finally dried her hair halfway and threw the towel back to He Gu, then stood up.

 

"I'm going to change clothes, turn around."

 

Hearing this, He Gu's heart skipped a beat, "Should I go out first?"

 

But it seemed like Little Yin intentionally didn't give He Gu a chance to avoid it, "No need, I don't mind."

 

As she spoke, Little Yin had already reached out and started to untie her bath towel, not giving He Gu a chance to speak.

 

He Gu quickly turned around to face away from her, and in front of him was a birdcage with a parrot inside.

 

Hearing the rustling sound behind him, He Gu couldn't help but associate it with some images.

 

At this moment, the parrot in front of He Gu suddenly flapped its wings and started hitting the birdcage repeatedly.

 

"WOW—run away! Run away!"

 

"WOW—run away! Run away!"

 

The parrot seemed frightened, hitting the birdcage while screaming loudly.

 

While hitting the birdcage, the parrot occasionally looked back at He Gu's back, showing a human-like fear in its eyes, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.

 

At the same time, He Gu felt a chill on his back, as if the temperature behind him had suddenly dropped below zero.

 

Just then, Little Yin suddenly whispered in He Gu's ear from behind, "Your parrot is so noisy. By the way, is parrot meat delicious?"

 

Little Yin's voice was soft but cold, as if she had become a different person, with an indescribable sense of strangeness in her tone.

 

The hairs on He Gu's body instantly stood up, and his scalp felt numb.

 

The parrot… the hidden message mentioned protecting the parrot!

 

And she just asked a question, it shouldn't be a request, right?

 

"Haha… you're joking, parrot meat is not edible…"

 

He Gu answered with a stiff scalp.

 

"Hehe… I was just teasing you."

 

Little Yin's voice suddenly returned to normal, sounding from the side of Zhang Chao's bed.

 

At the same time, the parrot, which had just looked frightened, also quieted down and started to eat quietly.

 

"I'm done changing, you can turn around now." Little Yin said from behind.

 

He Gu turned around with a stiff scalp and saw that Little Yin had changed into a light purple nightgown, everything seemed normal, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 

That moment just now was too strange, He Gu still had a suffocating feeling.

 

If he had said the wrong thing… he might have been done for!

 

After adjusting his breathing, He Gu slowly relaxed.

 

Seeing that it was already noon, He Gu said, "It's time for lunch, you must be hungry too. Shall I go to the cafeteria and get you some food?"

 

He Gu really wanted to go out and take a breath. Being with Little Yin in the same room, sometimes passionate, sometimes thrilling, He Gu felt exhausted.

 

Unexpectedly, Little Yin shook her head and rejected He Gu's proposal, "I don't want to eat, I brought a self-heating hot pot…"

 

As she spoke, Little Yin bent down and took out a self-heating hot pot from the second layer of her suitcase, then looked up and said, "You don't need to go to the cafeteria either, let's eat together?"

 

He Gu smiled bitterly in his heart, damn it, she just won't let me go out, right!?

 

Helpless, the rules said he couldn't refuse Little Yin, so He Gu could only reluctantly agree, "Okay."

 

***

 

Fifteen minutes later, the self-heating hot pot was ready.

 

He Gu found a small table and placed it on Zhang Chao's bed. The two of them sat at the head and foot of the bed and started eating.

 

In fact, He Gu didn't have much appetite at the moment.Although this was a world of supernatural tales, having hot pot on a roommate's bed with the roommate's online girlfriend… no matter how you looked at it, it was awkward.

 

Especially since Little Yin was only wearing a loose nightgown, sitting cross-legged on the bed, occasionally bending down to eat, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her figure. He Gu didn't know where to rest his eyes.

 

Little Yin was eating with gusto, her forehead glistening with sweat, while He Gu only moved his chopsticks symbolically a few times.

 

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

 

"Pass me some tissue."

 

Just as the food in the pot was almost finished, Little Yin broke the silence.

 

He Gu handed her a tissue. Little Yin wiped her mouth, then suddenly cursed, "Zhang Chao, that bastard! Scumbag! Big liar!"

 

He Gu nodded in agreement, "This guy really did something despicable."

 

Unexpectedly, Little Yin changed the subject, "I've already sent him a message breaking up with him. I'm single again."

 

He Gu gave a dry laugh, not knowing how to respond.

 

Little Yin continued, "Next time I find a boyfriend, I want someone as handsome as you."

 

"By the way, today was the first time I met him. He picked me up from the train station and brought me here. We haven't done anything yet."

 

He Gu: ????

 

Why are you telling me this!?

 

Whether it was from the hot pot or something else, a blush appeared on Little Yin's cheeks, making her look very charming.

 

Her eyes also softened a lot, looking at He Gu with a teasing smile.

 

He Gu felt goosebumps all over, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

 

The atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.

 

"I'm full!"

 

He Gu stood up awkwardly, wanting to escape this place of trouble, even if only temporarily.

 

"What's the rush! Sit down and chat with me!"

 

Little Yin pouted, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

 

He Gu was at his wits' end, but he couldn't refuse her, so he stiffly sat back down on the bed.

 

At this moment, Little Yin suddenly stretched out her bare, white foot from under the table and nudged He Gu's knee, "Hey, you're not still a virgin, are you?"
