Si Yiheng was silent for a long while before replying.
ATM: Washed them.
Shu Yu: ...
Shu Yu's fair earlobes instantly turned red. Si Yiheng had actually helped her wash those clothes.
Thinking of Si Yiheng with a cold face, holding her intimate apparel in his hands, Shu Yu found her feelings somewhat hard to describe.
This seemed too intimate.
LittleFishSwimming: I can wash them myself.
LittleFishSwimming: Where did you put them after washing?
ATM: Sorry, I ruined them while washing.
Shu Yu: ...
Si Yiheng was so strong; she had never ruined them when washing.
ATM: I'll buy you new ones.
LittleFishSwimming: ...I can buy them myself.
ATM: I already bought them. They are the same style you wore yesterday, along with some other styles, but I don't know if you'll like them.
It was also Si Yiheng's first time knowing that girls' intimate apparel could have so many styles: handmade floral embroidery with lace, creamy yellow plaid with little bows on the straps, and petal-shaped ones adorned with small rose decorations.
Si Yiheng felt that Shu Yu would look beautiful in every single piece.
Shu Yu had fair skin and looked good in anything, but he just wasn't sure if her aesthetic matched his.
ATM: If you don't like them, I can buy them again.
Shu Yu: ...
To be honest, Shu Yu really wanted to just faint right now. Who ruins someone else's intimate clothes in the wash and then goes to buy new ones themselves?
Moreover, it felt like Si Yiheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Shu Yu's pretty little face was flushed red. She pressed her face against the quilt to let herself calm down.
ATM: Baby Yu?
ATM: Transferred 100,000.
LittleFishSwimming: Yeah.
LittleFishSwimming: Next time I can buy them myself.
ATM: But I want you to wear what I buy.
Shu Yu: !!!
Shu Yu was about to lose it. Iron Egg wasn't around either, so she couldn't even find someone to help her come up with a bad idea.
If she went to Ningning, Ningning would definitely guess it was Si Yiheng in a second, which would make it even more awkward.
Shu Yu didn't understand why Si Yiheng was suddenly being so straightforward.
In the end, Shu Yu could only reply with blushing cheeks.
LittleFishSwimming: Oh.
LittleFishSwimming: If they don't look good, I won't wear them.
ATM: Okay.
Shu Yu didn't reach out to Ye Ning, but Ye Ning reached out to her first.
Golden Corn: Baby, did you know?
Shu Yu was slumped on the bed like a little cat pancake, questioning her life choices.
LittleFishSwimming: I don't know, baby. [Cat shaking head.jpg]
Golden Corn: My brother came to me today to learn a lot of things, like how to choose intimate apparel, how to choose fabrics, and sizing issues.
Golden Corn: At the very end, he finally revealed his true intentions and asked me what your size is.
Golden Corn: I was dying of laughter. I never imagined my brother would be like this when dating.
Golden Corn: I'm also surprised. You guys must have hugged and kissed, right? How does he still not have a clue?
Shu Yu: !!!
Si Yiheng.
Come home, Si Yiheng, please come home.
Si Yiheng didn't know her size, probably because he had never been exposed to this sort of thing before, so he had no idea what sizes were or what looked like what size.
Saying Si Yiheng was innocent, he did seem very innocent.
But Si Yiheng could also innocently do things that made people feel it was very explicit.
LittleFishSwimming: We haven't kissed yet.
Golden Corn: Hmm?
Golden Corn: Then you guys are quite innocent.
Golden Corn: Baby Yu, I think you can appropriately enjoy my brother. He's a virgin. If nothing else, he's clean and keeps to himself.
Golden Corn: Eat when you should, you know? If you get a taste and then break up, you won't lose out.
Shu Yu thought of the night she touched Si Yiheng's abs. His lean muscles really hit her aesthetic sweet spot, and there were even visible veins. Heaven knows how amazing a body like that is.
But Si Yiheng was very serious and didn't look like someone who would cross the line or lose control.
Shu Yu still planned to follow the task progress and eventually drug Si Yiheng. If it was too awkward, she could give him sleeping pills.
LittleFishSwimming: [Cat nodding.jpg]
LittleFishSwimming: I won't let myself lose out.
Golden Corn: Baby, don't tell my brother I talked about you guys breaking up. I mean IF you break up, I'm not cursing him to break up. I'm really afraid he'll beat me to death.
LittleFishSwimming: I won't tell Si Yiheng.
The two chatted for a while longer, and most of Shu Yu's awkwardness toward Si Yiheng from earlier disappeared. Shu Yu felt she could trick Si Yiheng into giving her wine again.

Iron Egg ran through several processes and was almost dizzy from running around.
Their trashy department just slacked off like this, passing the buck to each other, but Iron Egg finally managed to get the plot summary.
Iron Egg opened it to take a look and almost fainted from anger.
Gousheng passed by and saw Iron Egg about to faint, so he flashed in front of Iron Egg.
Gousheng: [Iron Egg, what's wrong? Did another problem occur with your task?]
Iron Egg: [Boohoo, my host kissed the male lead yesterday, but I was locked in the dark room and didn't see it. As the host's primary system, why can't I watch?]
Iron Egg was truly broken down: [I can't even watch them kiss, how am I supposed to watch them do the deed?]
Gousheng was almost dying of laughter at Iron Egg, this newbie system: [What kind of beautiful dream are you having? This is the host's private matter; our entire Quick Transmigration Bureau doesn't have the authority to view it.]
[If you really want to see it, just type out a text version yourself and go back to appreciate it.]
Iron Egg shed tears: [But my host blacked out from drinking yesterday, and she doesn't remember what happened either.]
Gousheng waved a big hand, and a card appeared in Iron Egg's backpack.
Gousheng: [I still have a Memory Tracing Card here. If your host needs it, you can give it to her to use.]
Iron Egg was moved: [Thank you, Gousheng.]
Gousheng: [It's no big deal. Alright, hurry back to your host's side and do your task.]

In the afternoon, Shu Yu finished all her work. Recently, her serialized comic was getting more and more popular, so Shu Yu occasionally had to spend time drawing a bit more for extra updates.
After finishing work, Shu Yu watched the lecture videos recorded by her substitute, finishing all of today's classes.
When Shu Yu finished everything, Iron Egg still hadn't returned, and neither had Si Yiheng.
If Si Yiheng didn't come home, how was she supposed to help Ye Ning trick him out of his wine?
Shu Yu sent Si Yiheng a message.
LittleFishSwimming: Are you still not coming home today? [Cat peeking.jpg]
ATM: I'm in the lab.
ATM: What's wrong, Baby Yu?
LittleFishSwimming: I miss you, brother.
