Liu Bai felt it was a bit strange to tell Huang Quan about this.
He suggested she give up her room to other women or something.
That's incredibly rude to say.
"You can speak up if you have something difficult to say, and you can also object. Do I look like someone who can't communicate? — I've always been the one who's too lazy to talk to others."
Isn't being too lazy to talk to others the same as being unable to communicate?
Liu Bai thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
However, if you look at it that way, I shouldn't fall into the category of "too lazy to talk".
"That's the room of the Void Commander."
"……I see."
Black Tower nodded; the strong should indeed be given some respect.
"Would you like to tidy up the room first?"
"There's nothing inside. Let me show you around." Bai pushed open the door. "By the way, look at that building from this window."
"that?"
"Yes, that's the old lab. It might seem a bit primitive to you, but it's fully equipped. You can use it directly."
"Really? Not bad." Black Tower nodded.
[Black Tower's Affection Level: 2122]
The initial favorability rating was surprisingly good?
"By the way... what is this?"
Black Tower rummaged through his future room and suddenly pulled out a very girly white pair of panties from under his pillow.
"..." Bai looked at the panties that Heita was spinning around with his fingers, his expression slightly strange.
Intuitively speaking... I feel it might be fireflies.
"Here you go." Hei Ta tossed the panties to Liu Bai with a hint of disdain. "It seems like you're having a tough time too."
"Thank you so much for not thinking that I stole this..."
"..."
Black Tower rolled his eyes dismissively.
"I just think if you really stole it, it wouldn't be so clean. Let's tidy it up. Since this was your room before, I'll help you move the things."
…………
"Lady Black Tower is here..."
That evening, when Liu Bai returned outside and told Estella about it, Estella's expression became unnatural for a moment.
"You're going to be in charge of liaising with Black Tower? I feel like I'll have a lot of difficulty communicating with her."
“It’s alright, I also have difficulty communicating with Ms. Black Tower.”
Estelle sighed.
"In short, as long as we can communicate, there's no problem—not everyone can get the Black Tower lady to talk to them."
"so……"
"So, Ms. Black Tower, you should take charge."
After working under Liu Bai, Aista realized how hard her life had been before.
I don't want a boss who's in a hands-off state 99% of the time!
"And according to you, isn't Ms. Black Tower quite interested in you? At least she's more interested in you than Ms. Ruan Mei was when she came, right?"
It really is.
The "honeymoon period" between Liu Bai and Ruan Mei when they first met only lasted a short time before ideological conflicts erupted.
That period was quite unpleasant, although everyone eventually became very happy again...
"Ah... wait a minute. In that case, why don't we let Ms. Ruan Mei connect with Ms. Black Tower?" A sudden idea flashed in Estád's mind.
"The two of them? Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like a bad idea?"
Liu Bai suddenly became interested.
Anyway, Nguyen Mai definitely has more experience dealing with Black Tower than him.
Moreover, the two of them together might spark some unique ideas.
"Okay, I'll contact Ruan Mei in a bit."
"Um... BOSS, wait a minute, this is something Miss Mei asked me to give you." Estella called out to Liu Bai, took out a doll from her small bag and handed it to Liu Bai.
[Firework Doll]
"...?"
Wait a minute, those two girls used twenty shots to pull out two people?
...It's a good thing there's no constellation system, otherwise these two might have been able to pull off a perfect 10-constellation run.
"Miss Mei said you left too quickly and didn't have time to give this to you."
"Oh...for me, no, I'll go thank her later."
Liu Bai accepted the doll and nodded.
"I go……"
"There's something else," Estelle said, pulling Liu Bai back as he was about to turn away. "I...I'll show you..."
Estelle lifted her skirt slightly, revealing the purple lace underneath.
"Hurry up and look... so you don't use this as an excuse to make trouble tomorrow."
"Oh, that's pretty good."
Liu Bai read the text in a perfunctory and emotionless manner.
"I'm going to find Ruan Mei. I'll leave the Black Tower in your care for the time being."
Estelle: "..."
Have I already... lost interest in her?
Is this... a good thing?

"Hey, hey."
"can hear."
Ruan Mei's communication was connected, and the background of the laboratory and Ruan Mei's side profile were visible on the screen.
"Did you only just remember to look for me now, darling?" Ruan Mei didn't look at the screen, but her words were full of teasing and jealousy.
"I've only been away from Hong Kong for half a week..."
"That's been a long time for me, or rather, enough time for you, darling, to have slept with quite a few more people?"
Ruan Mei seemed to have finally finished packing, and a gentle, serene smile appeared on the screen.
"How have you been? Eating well lately? Are you getting enough nutrition?"
"It can probably be described as 'as always'."
These questions are too much like those of an old mother.
"Did everything go smoothly? Honey, you didn't contact them because you needed something, did you?"
A hint of cold sharpness was revealed in Ruan Meitian's gentle smile.
"..."
It really is.
"Just kidding, I didn't mean it that way, I just wanted to tease you, darling. I'm so glad you thought of me at this time."
The cold sharpness dissipated, and Ruan Mei's smile became even gentler.
"But darling, are you the type who becomes more shy after marriage? I prefer someone a bit rougher and wilder..."
"You're married my foot!" Mebius roared from the side, followed by an image of his arm appearing on the screen as he tried to push Ruan Mei away.
"Liu Bai, have you missed me? And don't trust this guy, he's been secretly doing research all this time—"
Mebius's head had barely popped out when Nguyen Mai pushed it back.
Well, although Nguyen Mai isn't a fighter, her combat ability is definitely stronger than Mebius'.
Mebius clearly couldn't outmaneuver Nguyen Mai in this regard.
As they were pushed and shoved, Ruan Mei and Mebius disappeared from the screen, and Liu Bai could only hear the clanging sounds of the fight through the screen.
Three to five minutes later, Ruan Mei, with slightly disheveled hair, returned to the screen.
It looks like a very authentic women's martial arts fight.
Liu Bai was unsure whether to worry about the relationship between the two or to be relieved that they were behaving appropriately.
"Don't pay attention to that guy."
"...Are you really alright?"
"Of course I'm fine." Ruan Mei breathed a sigh of relief, her cold expression from the fight vanished, replaced by a gentle smile that exuded a virtuous charm, as she smoothed her hair with her hand.
"Where were we? Right... I prefer something wilder and rougher, because such seeds might be more vigorous? As a life scientist, I really like vigorous seeds."
As Ruan Mei spoke, she playfully licked her lips.
What terrible lines... but the devilishly alluring contrast!
"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic."
Liu Bai felt that his "post-marital shyness" was less a reflection of his own guilt and more a sense of injustice.
"There are indeed some things that I need your help with, Ruan Mei."
"Hmm... Okay, what is it?"
"The Black Tower is here. We need Ruan Mei to come and help mediate between us."
"The Black Tower..."
Ruan Mei suppressed her smile and resumed her usual aloof demeanor.
"What's wrong? Are you troubled?" Bai asked Ruan Mei with some curiosity.
"Probably. Although we've collaborated a lot, our relationship... wasn't that good, but it wasn't bad either."
Ruan Mei rested her head on her hand.
"We do appreciate each other, but that doesn't stop me from disliking her willfulness, nor does it stop us from having many incompatibilities."
"That……"
"I can still help with this."
Ruan Mei interrupted Liu Bai.
"After all, in her eyes, I am someone she can talk to on equal terms, and I can understand her thoughts to some extent. Besides... this is my darling who came to me."
Ruan Mei smiled again.
"Leave this to me. By the way, it shouldn't be her doll that came, right?"
"Of course not, it was the real person," Bai replied. "I was quite startled..."
"In terms of appearance?"
"Um... to be honest, is that one of the reasons? Of course, it's mostly the contrast..."
"If that's the case, then I have another reason to go."
Ruan Mei sighed softly.
