Chapter 10: The Bra Needs to Be Bought a Bit Larger
Chapter 10: The Bra Needs to Be Bought a Bit Larger
"Brother Lang, you aren't overthinking things, are you?"
Zhao Xiaorou's tone changed, and she rolled her eyes at Zhou Lang, knowing that her words 'sleep together' had caused a misunderstanding.
"Ahem, no, not at all." Zhou Lang smiled awkwardly. Such things were fine to think about in his heart, but what man would be foolish enough to admit it in front of a girl he had just met?
"Then let me make one thing clear: if you sleep in the same bed as me, you must sleep quietly and behave yourself." Zhao Xiaorou huffed and said dominantly, "Otherwise, I'll take a pair of scissors and cut off your 'root of trouble'."
As she spoke, she used her hand to make a snapping motion.
"Hey, don't be so fierce. I saved you, after all, and you're actually questioning my character? No good deed goes unpunished, indeed." Zhou Lang clicked his tongue.
Just a moment ago, when Zhao Xiaorou asked him not to leave, she had seemed pitiful and endearing, but now, the words she spoke were exceptionally fierce.
He recalled the scene at Lovers Bar where she smashed a bottle against someone, and he realized that Zhao Xiaorou was no damsel in distress like Lin Daiyu, but a typical, domineering girl. The weak side she had shown earlier was merely because she had been frightened after being kidnapped.
"If I didn't trust you, would I let you sleep in the same bed as me? I never let any stinking man touch me!"
Zhao Xiaorou pursed her lips and said, "Alright, enough of that. Let's take a shower and get to sleep early. Tomorrow, we'll go find that Brother Xiaohu and get my money back."
Judging by her tone, her earlier claim of being afraid was definitely a lie; she had just been looking for an excuse to keep Zhou Lang there.
It was true that she trusted Zhou Lang; after all, with his skills, if he really wanted to do something to her, would she even have the strength to resist?
Between people, the first impression is the most important. Since Zhou Lang had saved her, she subconsciously felt a special trust in him. Otherwise, why would she have suggested that he sleep with her? She was not some shameless, promiscuous girl.
However, she was still different from the average girl.
An average girl who had suffered such a scare would certainly have long-term psychological trauma, and might even suffer a mental breakdown. Yet, within a mere hour, not only had she regained her domineering demeanor, but she was already planning to retrieve what she had lost tomorrow. Her courage was far from ordinary.
"You didn't mention the money was taken by them while we were on the boat. How are we going to find them tomorrow?"
Zhou Lang asked. Feiyun City was neither big nor small, but sometimes finding a person there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I just wanted to leave that place at the time, so I was careless. I can see you don't have much money either. If we don't get my money back, what are we going to eat, where will we stay, and what will we wear?"
Zhao Xiaorou retorted, "Brother Xiaohu might be hard to find, but judging by their tone, his uncle, Duan Wei, should have some reputation in Feiyun City. We can just go directly to him. Besides, the two people who drove the car to kidnap me were called in by Brother Xiaohu from Duan Wei's side. My money was taken by those two; it was several tens of thousands in cash."
"Why do you carry so much cash on you?"
Zhou Lang asked in surprise. Earlier, Zhao Xiaorou had said she was an orphan and unemployed, so where did she get so much money? Moreover, she was wearing name-brand sportswear; this outfit was worth at least two months of his part-time wages. He felt that she must have been hiding something from him.
"That was all the money I had. Carrying it with me makes me sleep soundly."
Zhao Xiaorou smiled sheepishly, revealing two deep dimples. She was extremely beautiful and cute, making one feel that this was exactly what an invincible, youthful, cute girl should look like.
"With so much money stolen, you should call the police." Zhou Lang thought for a moment and said. He was a university student, after all, and when something like this happened, the first solution that came to his mind was to find the police.
"Call the police? Someone like Duan Wei who can make it in Feiyun City must have bribed the police. Calling the police might not get the money back." Zhao Xiaorou shook her head firmly.
"That's only an isolated case. Most police officers are law-abiding." Zhou Lang did not agree with Zhao Xiaorou's view.
"The police are inefficient. We are very short on money right now. By the time they get the money back, we'll have already starved to death. It's more reliable to go and get it ourselves."
Zhao Xiaorou said. She didn't know why, but she just didn't want to call the police.
"Alright, tomorrow we'll go find Duan Wei."
Zhou Lang nodded. In the past, if he had encountered such a situation, he would have had no choice but to call the police. But now, he was a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage, and he should be able to solve such problems himself.
"That's right. I'm going to take a shower first."
Zhao Xiaorou changed into a pair of slippers and went to the bathroom.
"This girl has quite a strong mental fortitude. After such a major incident, she doesn't have any psychological trauma at all. It seems that once I help her get her money back tomorrow, I won't need to worry about her anymore."
Looking at Zhao Xiaorou's youthful and beautiful back, Zhou Lang couldn't help but think.
Although Zhao Xiaorou was wearing sportswear, it was hard to hide her natural beauty. At Dianxi University, she would definitely be an existence even more beautiful than the school beauty.
Listening to the splashing water in the bathroom, Zhou Lang couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. He even felt the urge to use the Perspective Talisman to catch a glimpse of the spring scenery inside the bathroom. Such a youthful, invincible, cute girl really made one's heart restless.
However, he suppressed his urge and sat on the floor to start practicing. The scene of him being humiliated by Ye Qianqian and Nie Yuanxiong yesterday evening was still vivid in his mind. Yet today, after his transformation, he had easily rescued a beautiful woman. Now, he realized how important it was to be strong himself.
But he hadn't been practicing for even ten minutes when the bathroom door opened a crack. Zhao Xiaorou poked her head out and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Lang, could you help me go buy a set of clothes? I didn't bring any, so I need to buy everything from the inside out. Oh, right… the bra needs to be a bit larger, 36D…"
"36D… This girl is truly a 'chest weapon' among humans. Her figure could probably rival Xiao Xi's." The blood in Zhou Lang's brain surged upward.
"Ahem… why didn't you buy a set of clothes before you took a shower?"
Zhou Lang stopped practicing and stood up, blushing slightly. Before obtaining the Dual Cultivation Manual, he hadn't even touched a woman, so naturally, he was thin-skinned. Now that Zhao Xiaorou was asking him to help buy underwear, it was embarrassing to the extreme.
"I forgot. Just be a good person and see it through to the end. Besides, you'll need to buy clothes to change into after your own shower later anyway."
Zhao Xiaorou stuck out her tongue and said, "My clothes are all soaking in the bucket now, so I can't go buy them myself. To be fair, after I get my money back tomorrow, I'll pay for the hotel room and the clothes. I'll also wash the clothes you change out of later."
Since Zhao Xiaorou had said all that, Zhou Lang had no choice but to prepare to go out and buy the clothes.
…
"Brother Lang is actually a pretty good guy, and his skills are fierce. I'll just stick with him while I'm in Feiyun. Even if people from the Shangguan family come looking for me, I can just have Brother Lang beat them to a pulp and make them crawl back."
After Zhou Lang went out, Zhao Xiaorou stood in front of a large mirror, admiring her own snow-white, flawless body while talking to herself.
Her figure perfectly matched the golden ratio; any more would be too much, any less would be too little. She was truly beautiful to the extreme.
