Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao follow her into the room, Qiao Yinyin suddenly turned around, her brows furrowed.
She glared at her unhappily, "Why did you follow me?"
Bai Xiaoxiao hadn't yet recovered from her earlier fit of pique.
Hearing this, she immediately raised her chin and retorted, "Why can't I be here? Or should I go back?"
Go back???
Hearing these two words, Qiao Yinyin's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her voice rose by eight octaves, "You wouldn't dare!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Bai Xiaoxiao's words were tough, but her body was honest as she plonked down onto the room's sofa.
Then, she crossed her arms over her chest, glared back at Qiao Yinyin, and adopted a "what can you do" posture.
"You..." Qiao Yinyin was so choked she couldn't speak.
Furious, she pointed a finger at Bai Xiaoxiao, and after a long pause, two words burst out: "You're despicable!"
Although she had encountered similar teasing during her live streams,
this was the first time Bai Xiaoxiao had been cursed at like this to her face.
Her face instantly darkened, and her tone became sharp, "The feeling's mutual, you're no better! You slut!"
Qiao Yinyin grew even more agitated hearing this, taking a deep breath to compose herself.
Not to be outdone, she retorted, "Calling me a slut? Who was the first to hug Jiang Cheng just now? You're more of a slut than I am!"
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately countered, "You're the slut! Not only did you hook your arm around him, you also wrapped your leg around him. I really didn't expect that..."
Qiao Yinyin rolled her eyes, her tone full of disdain, "The feeling's mutual. Can't compare to someone who couldn't wait to unbuckle Jiang Cheng's belt."
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted, "What's that compared to me? I only unbuckled his belt. Someone else took the opportunity to grope him, almost reaching into his crotch. How shameless."
"Who are you calling shameless?" Qiao Yinyin suddenly stood up, her chest heaving.
"Who else could it be?" Bai Xiaoxiao also stood up, the two of them clashing.
"You're despicable!"
"Slut!"
"You're despicable!"
"Slut!"
...Jiang Cheng, who was standing at the door, originally wanted to push it open and go in.
After all, the argument inside sounded quite intense.
He was just afraid the two Girls would suddenly start fighting.
But listening to the end, it was just these two elementary school-style insults repeated over and over.
Jiang Cheng immediately couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Never mind, never mind... If he went in now, not only would he not solve the problem, he might even be dragged in to be a referee.
He really couldn't enjoy such a blessing.
Playing dead in this situation was the best solution.
Actively offering himself up to resolve a Shura Field was purely asking for trouble.
At this moment, it wasn't appropriate for him to stand on either side.
After shaking his head.
Jiang Cheng quietly retreated a few steps, deciding on a strategic withdrawal for the night, leaving this dilemma for the two women to resolve internally.
Anyway, he had already found release several times with Qiao Yinyin last night.
Now he was in the stage where the emperor wasn't anxious, but the eunuchs were.
So Jiang Cheng directly chose to return to the room opposite, took a shower, and then immediately fell asleep.
Jiang Cheng fell asleep quickly, but Qiao Yinyin and Bai Xiaoxiao's situation wasn't so easily resolved.
The two cursed at each other for more than ten minutes until their throats were dry before stopping.
Neither spoke to the other, yet they tacitly remained in the room.
Finally, Qiao Yinyin even took a white bathrobe from the closet and threw it to Bai Xiaoxiao.
"What for?" Bai Xiaoxiao caught the bathrobe and asked warily.
"What do you mean 'what for'?" Qiao Yinyin rolled her eyes, "What? Still want to go seduce Jiang Cheng?"
"Hmph~" Bai Xiaoxiao deliberately drew out her tone, "You say that as if I haven't slept with him. Let me tell you, before you came, the battle between him and me in this room was fierce. Oh, right, right next to this closet, we also..."
Hearing this, Qiao Yinyin started cursing again: "You're despicable!"
"Slut!"
"You're despicable!"
"You slut!!"
...After an unknown period of sleep, Jiang Cheng felt a soft, delicate body slip into his covers.
Soon, Qiao Yinyin's charming face appeared before him.
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, his lips were sealed by Qiao Yinyin.
Not only that, Qiao Yinyin was very unusual tonight.
Although they had been together for some time, she was mostly shy.
But now, Qiao Yinyin's face clearly showed a hint of impatience.
She placed her middle finger on her lips, making a shushing gesture at Jiang Cheng.
Then, without a word, she pulled Jiang Cheng to the side of the closet.
To be honest, the temperature in Chengdu in spring was still quite low.
Fortunately, the house had heating, otherwise being pulled up in the middle of the night to be "stripped naked."
Jiang Cheng would definitely be silently thinking: I haven't even started, and I'm already so grateful~
More than an hour later.
Qiao Yinyin came out of the bathroom and quickly started cleaning the floor by the closet.
After cleaning, she rushed to the sink to wash her hands, then walked to the bed and quickly kissed Jiang Cheng several times.
Just as Jiang Cheng reached out to hug her back, Qiao Yinyin pushed him away.
"I'm going back, you should go to sleep early..." Qiao Yinyin's voice was a bit low, seemingly with a hint of panic.
"You're going back?" Jiang Cheng asked, puzzled.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's voice was a bit loud, Qiao Yinyin's body visibly stiffened.
She quickly looked up, placed her finger on her lips, and made a shushing gesture at Jiang Cheng.
"Don't tell anyone I was here..." Qiao Yinyin's voice was extremely low, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
With that, Qiao Yinyin dashed towards the door like a startled rabbit.
Her movements were exceptionally light, making almost no sound.
After reaching the door, she didn't open it immediately.
Instead, she pressed her ear tightly against the door, carefully listening for any movement outside.
After a while, seemingly confirming there was nothing unusual, she cautiously opened the door.
Throughout the entire process, Qiao Yinyin's movements were unusually swift and cautious.
It was as if she was doing something illicit.
She thought no one had discovered her, completely unaware.
However, she didn't know that the moment she gently pushed open the door and walked out.
A figure, like a ghost, quickly disappeared from the doorway into the corner of the corridor.
As Jiang Cheng's personal maid.
Because her room was conveniently located between Qiao Yinyin's and Jiang Cheng's rooms.
She was exceptionally sensitive to any subtle movements in the corridor.
When Qiao Yinyin stealthily snuck into Jiang Cheng's room, Xia Li had actually already noticed everything in the dark.
But she didn't rashly speak out, because she saw that the person entering the room was Qiao Yinyin.
So, she chose to remain silent, quietly waiting by the door.
At this moment, seeing Qiao Yinyin's somewhat unsteady steps as she came out.
Her face carried a blush of satisfaction and shyness, and she was even tidying her slightly open clothes as she walked.
She cautiously returned to her own room.
Seeing Qiao Yinyin like this, she immediately recalled her own hasty yet profound encounter with Jiang Cheng.
She remembered the warmth of his fingertips as they brushed over her scar.
Recalling this, her heart felt as if it had been lightly stung by something, a subtle bitterness rising within her.
But she quickly lowered her eyelids, pressing that discomfort deep into her eyes.
After averting her gaze, Xia Li's fingertips gently rubbed against the wall.
In the darkness, only she knew the complex emotions hidden in that momentary silence.
Ten minutes later, seeing no other movement, Xia Li lifted her foot, intending to walk to her room.
Before she had taken two steps, she heard another faint sound of a door lock opening.
After concealing herself, in the darkness, Xia Li saw Bai Xiaoxiao angrily emerge from her room again.
Her face showed clear anger and unwillingness.
She walked to Jiang Cheng's door, feeling a bit anxious, opened it, and went inside.
Finally, she even vaguely heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside.
Seeing another one arrive, Xia Li didn't linger this time.
She knew that the open and secret struggle between these two women was still ongoing.
She also knew that she shouldn't have any extra thoughts.
She had already heard the sounds of impact from Jiang Cheng's room for over an hour just now.
At this point, she didn't want to listen for another hour.
Jiang Cheng was her master, the one who promised to avenge her, and nothing more.
