If one isn’t enough, then just have two? Qin Xiangyi was a bit dazed, but still nodded instinctively.
“Then I’ll be going now.” With that, Shaoyao got up to leave the room.
But her body still looked unsteady, making Qin Xiangyi worry and follow after her.
Shaoyao still didn’t say anything.
This cold attitude made Qin Xiangyi even more afraid.
She’d rather Shaoyao lose her temper again than be treated like this.
Unfortunately, Shaoyao had already walked out, looking as if she’d just been taken advantage of.
Qin Xiangyi also blew out the candle and left, only to be stopped by Huanü as soon as she stepped out.
Huanü gave her that half-smiling, half-mocking look and continued, “I thought the Huazhu would let her go, but I guess I was too naive about human wildness.”
Shaoyao’s personality was genuine, so she never put on an act.
Seeing Shaoyao’s expression, Huanü immediately understood that something really had happened between Qin Xiangyi and Shaoyao, and was quite satisfied with that.
Qin Xiangyi gave an awkward smile and said, “After all, I am the Huazhu.”
Huanü smiled and nodded slightly.
“I hope the Huazhu will always remember those words.”
That sentence sounded like a reminder, maybe a warning, or maybe it was just putting invisible pressure on Qin Xiangyi.
Whatever it meant, Qin Xiangyi felt like this matter was finally over.
She wanted to leave, but suddenly saw the Flower God Huang Quan watching her from the side.
“Lord Huang Quan, are we kissing today?” Qin Xiangyi remembered how the Flower God Huang Quan always got a little moody whenever she kissed Shaoyao, so she asked without thinking.
Anyway, by their usual routine, they’d probably end up with another little Caocao by the end of the day.
Qin Xiangyi comforted herself with that thought, but Huang Quan just glanced at her coolly and said coldly, “No need.”
That awkwardness made Qin Xiangyi’s face burn.
She wanted to say she hadn’t bullied Shaoyao on purpose just now, that it was a sacrifice she had to make to copy abilities.
But she couldn’t say that—just like every flower person had their own secrets, Qin Xiangyi had to keep her own, including the system.
She hadn’t written the plot ahead, didn’t know the fate of the people inside the Flower God Ring, and didn’t dare to give too much of her heart.
“Then I’ll take my leave.
If Lord Huang Quan ever wants to, uh, just have Huanü let me know.” Qin Xiangyi spoke even more awkwardly, but she believed that as long as she was thick-skinned enough, she could survive longer.
Huang Quan nodded slightly and went back to her book.
Qin Xiangyi turned and created a door in the space, walking out.
When she reappeared, she was back in the bathroom.
A day in the outside world was equal to a month in the Flower God Ring.
Even though she’d spent so long inside, only a few minutes had passed outside.
Pretending she’d just used the bathroom, Qin Xiangyi straightened her clothes and walked out.
She saw that Jing Shuxuan had changed into pajamas.
Her pajamas were quite mature, with some lace trim that set off her beautiful face.
If Jing Shuxuan’s looks were an 85 out of 100 when she was unprepared, now, just by taking off her strict business suit and letting her hair down, her femininity pushed her up to a 90.
At this level, her looks were like those of a movie star—dazzling and eye-catching.
Simply put, Jing Shuxuan was very pretty among ordinary people.
But among flower people, this kind of beauty was nothing special.
Qin Xiangyi glanced at her and quickly looked away, then sat down next to Jing Shuxuan.
The TV had switched from the news to some idol drama.
“So it’s already ten o’clock.” Qin Xiangyi was surprised by Jing Shuxuan’s taste, but when she checked the time and saw it was ten, she understood why such a strange show was on.
But the plot was always the same, only the actors’ faces were no longer anyone Qin Xiangyi recognized from Earth.
Qin Xiangyi felt a little regretful, but Jing Shuxuan seemed really absorbed in the show.
If Qin Xiangyi hadn’t called her to take a shower, she probably wouldn’t have gone.
Thinking about it, Qin Xiangyi felt a bit closer to Jing Shuxuan.
At twenty-four, it was the age to yearn for love.
If Qin Xiangyi tried to seduce her, maybe she could get two kisses from Jing Shuxuan in just a few days.
With that thought, Qin Xiangyi perked up.
For her, the point of being in this world was to survive and get stronger, and flower people could give her more in every way.
So she could only keep plotting with the women around her.
Having decided on her plan for the night, Qin Xiangyi took out her phone and started searching for information about movies.
[Which movies have the most kissing scenes?] [Which movies make people want to kiss?] Instantly, a ton of results popped up on her phone, making Qin Xiangyi dizzy.
With her photographic memory, she quickly memorized all the info and started searching like crazy.
Paywall, another paywall—apparently, even watching TV here required payment, just like on Earth.
But what comforted Qin Xiangyi was that now TV was divided by age groups, and of course, there was a lot of content not suitable for the public.
Naturally, that was also behind a paywall.
Qin Xiangyi was curious, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t unlock the TV’s paywall.
It kept telling her she was still a year away from being eligible for that channel.
Qin Xiangyi felt a little deflated.
She was just thinking about searching for some horror movies to pass the time when a message suddenly popped up on her phone.
[Private Chat] Zhou Muning: Xiangyi, is that you? The message bluntly said Zhou Muning’s full name, which left Qin Xiangyi a bit dazed.
She didn’t know whether to say the previous Qin Xiangyi was as straightforward as she was, using full names for contacts, or to be glad that she hadn’t used any weird nicknames, so she could recognize the sender right away.
[Private Chat] Qin Xiangyi: Yeah.
[Private Chat] Zhou Muning: Really? What’s our secret code?
But with the next message from campus belle Zhou Muning, Qin Xiangyi felt like Zhou Muning was being smart at the worst possible time.
She wasn’t the real Qin Xiangyi, so how would she know what secret code Zhou Muning and Qin Xiangyi had?
So, Qin Xiangyi just sent a video call request.
The other side seemed startled, taking several seconds before finally answering.
On screen, Zhou Muning appeared.
She seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently, and looked more haggard, but her eyes still shone brightly.
As soon as she saw it really was Qin Xiangyi, she was so happy she burst into tears.
“Xiangyi, it’s really you.”
Qin Xiangyi smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, you’ve gotten smarter, haven’t you?”
Zhou Muning smiled a little shyly.
“I was too careless before, it won’t happen again… What about you, did you get out of Baichi Sanatorium?” As she said this, Zhou Muning was very cautious, afraid of upsetting Qin Xiangyi.
But Qin Xiangyi didn’t care.
“Of course I got out, otherwise how could I be talking to you on my phone?”
