Hearing this, Si Nian nodded. "Maybe. He really drank too much tonight, and we even took off his pants... Oh well, we can't really blame him."
"Exactly, he must be very confused right now too, right?"
Neither of the two women realized they were both subconsciously making excuses for Jiang Cheng.
"Then what do we do tonight? We don't even have any clothes."
Si Qing gently gripped the corner of her shirt. After a moment's hesitation, she looked at Si Nian, her tone serious. "I'm asking you, if something uncontrollable had really happened just now, what would you have done? Would you hate him?"
Hearing this, Si Nian's face instantly turned red again.
The sensation in her throat was still there.
After subconsciously swallowing, she shook her head gently, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "I don't know. I just felt extremely flustered earlier, like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. As for hate... I don't really feel any..."
Hearing Si Nian's words, Si Qing clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
Up until now, she still felt that it was her accidental intrusion between Si Nian and Jiang Cheng that led to the current situation.
So, naturally, she didn't want Si Nian to hate Jiang Cheng.
At this point, Si Qing pulled Si Nian toward the bathtub.
Looking at the high-end bath products placed by the bathtub, Si Qing couldn't help but pick one up and smell it.
"Wow, this is Bvlgari body wash. It smells so good. Have a sniff."
Si Nian leaned in to smell it and nodded. "It's so fragrant~"
"How about the two of us try it?"
"Ah? But Jiang Cheng is still outside."
"What's there to be afraid of? We're not going out. We've broken out in a sweat from the scare, it smells terrible."
"Then what about clothes?"
"What else can we do? Just wear them again."
"Alright then. This bathroom is so big..."
Soon, the two sisters both took off their clothes and sat in the bathtub.
Once the hot water began to fill up and the two of them started to relax, Si Qing spoke again.
"Nian Nian, seriously, did you ever think there would be a day like this for the two of us?"
Si Nian looked up at Si Qing. "Actually, we talked about similar topics when we were kids, but back then we were talking about what kind of person we'd marry when we grew up."
Thinking of this, Si Qing covered her mouth and laughed. "Then do you still remember what you said?"
Thinking back to their childhood, Si Nian couldn't help but smile as well.
Her gaze swept across the exquisite crystal chandelier in the bathroom.
"Of course I remember. I used to love snatching things from you back then. I said that when I grew up, I would definitely marry your husband, since he wouldn't be able to tell us apart anyway..."
"I was so annoyed back then that my teeth itched. So, does this count as coming true now?"
Hearing this, Si Nian stared at Si Qing for a good while. "Do you want to marry Jiang Cheng?"
Seeing Si Nian teasing her, Si Qing poked her in the waist.
"Oh, stop it~~ That's not what I meant. How old are we even? I just feel a bit sentimental. Actually, when I was little, I only thought about never being separated from you. Back then, I felt that as long as I could stay with you, it didn't matter if I got married or what kind of person I married."
Hearing this, Si Nian instantly felt a warm sensation in her heart.
The two of them had been together since they were children.
It could be said that they were each other's closest sisters.
"So you felt the same as me!" Si Nian recalled the days in their old house, and her tone softened. "In the past, our family always said we were like conjoined twins. Back then, I secretly thought that if one day you weren't by my side—like if I married into another city and you went somewhere else—would we really be separated? Thinking about that back then made me cry secretly several times."
"Then what do you think of Jiang Cheng?"
Hearing this, Si Nian shook her head. "He's a very good person, but I'm not sure about the future. What if he doesn't want us anymore later on? What would we do then?"
Hearing this, Si Qing nodded. "So from now on, we two sisters have to be united. We can't let him lead us by the nose and bully us; it should be the two of us bullying him together..."
"Yeah, you're right..."
For a while now, the two sisters had actually been a bit awkward with each other.
Now that they had talked it out, the two of them returned to their previous state.
They even began to apply body wash on each other.
As they had said, the two sisters had always stayed in the same room.
So, there was simply no privacy between them.
The two were more than familiar with each other's bodies.
"Hey, what do you think of Jiang Cheng?"
Si Nian was currently using a towel to dry the water from the tips of her hair.
Hearing this, her movements paused. She raised a hand to brush away the stray hairs on her face and looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean 'what'? Didn't I just say?"
Si Qing leaned in, deliberately lowering her voice and quietly nudging her with her elbow, her eyes gleaming with a bit of mischief. "No, I mean that thing we saw just now."
"Are you crazy? Why are you asking that?"
"What's wrong with asking? It's just the two of us here, no third person can hear. Tell the truth, didn't you also think it was quite terrifying?"
"You have no idea, my mouth could hardly breathe just now..."
On Jiang Cheng's side, as soon as the two sisters entered the bathroom, he had gone to the opposite room to wash up.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng had already finished his shower and returned.
Sure enough, the bathroom was still tightly shut.
Sitting down on the sofa, Jiang Cheng began his 'time management' again.
Before he knew it, he had been chatting warmly with several women for half an hour. Only then did the bathroom door finally open.
The two women walked out, wrapped only in bath towels.
By this time, Jiang Cheng had already finished showering in the other room and walked back in.
Seeing this, his emotions, which had originally calmed down, began to rise stiffly once again.
When the two women had gone in earlier, Jiang Cheng had hurriedly opened the Character Scanning System.
Seeing that the favorability values of both women had not decreased, he had felt at ease enough to go over there and wash his hair and body.
He hadn't expected that after just half an hour, there would be such a big surprise.
Jiang Cheng's gaze couldn't help but fixate on the two similarly sized 'pandas.'
He tossed his phone onto the table beside him, stood up, and took each of the two women by the hand, leading them toward the sofa.
"Come over here quickly, let me give you a good hug. You're wearing so little, what if you catch a cold later?"
The two women glanced at each other and didn't refuse, obediently allowing Jiang Cheng to pull them to sit by the sofa.
However, just as they sat down, Si Qing spoke up. "The two of us are sleeping by ourselves tonight. Don't even think about doing anything bad."
Si Nian chimed in, "Exactly. We can see you're not drunk anymore. You're not allowed to do what happened earlier again, or else we won't stay at your house..."
Seeing the two women forming a united front, Jiang Cheng's heart instantly cooled by half.
So this was the reason the two of them dared to come out wearing only bath towels.
Just as Jiang Cheng was experiencing a bit of an internal struggle, the favorability value system notifications, which hadn't moved at all earlier, actually both dropped by two points.
This clearly showed the determination of the two women.
However, Jiang Cheng admitted he had been a bit too hasty.
After all, he had only held them both twice; wanting to have them both at the same time was indeed a bit fast.
He should still break them down one by one first.
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng immediately said to the two women with a serious expression, "Don't worry, you two will sleep here with me tonight. Your arrival today was sudden, and the rooms in the house haven't been tidied up. Earlier, Xia Li thought you two would be sleeping here, so she has also gone to rest. Don't worry, I'm a good man, I absolutely won't do anything to you."
