"I’m going in; it might hurt a bit at first," Chu Tian said, looking at Luoluo’s delicate face.
Hearing his words, Luoluo closed her eyes, clearly still a little scared, and said, "Okay, Brother, I’m ready!"
Upon her response, Chu Tian took a cotton swab, dipped it in hydrogen peroxide, and gently inserted it into her ear, slowly pushing it deeper.
"Mm..." Luoluo let out a soft moan from her nose.
"Does it hurt?" Chu Tian asked with concern.
Luoluo furrowed her brows, opened her eyes to look at Chu Tian, her eyes slightly teary.
"Brother, it still hurts a little. Pull it out quickly."
He hurriedly pulled it out, making a soft *pop* sound.
Chu Tian looked down at the bloodstain on the cotton swab and said, "You’re bleeding. Should we see a doctor?"
He held the cotton swab in front of Luoluo.
She examined it closely and said, "I already saw a doctor. They said there’d be a bit of blood; it’s just mild otitis media, caused by always wearing in-ear earphones. I just need to stop using them."
"Oh!" Chu Tian nodded, casually tossing the cotton swab into the trash bin.
Then he stretched his slightly numb wrist, grabbed a clean cotton swab, and prepared to clean her other ear.
"No need for this one; only that ear was itchy," Luoluo said.
Luoluo stood up, wearing only a tight cotton nightdress that hugged her figure above her calves. Her skin was fair as snow, her waist so slender it seemed too delicate to hold, and her dainty feet, like orchids, stepped on the light pink carpet.
"Luoluo..." Chu Tian swallowed hard, his gaze turning heated as he recalled the two things she had hidden earlier, making it hard for him to stay composed.
Catching Chu Tian’s gaze, Luoluo saw his burning eyes, as if they wanted to devour her whole.
That fiery, passionate look, filled with a man’s intense desire.
For a moment, Luoluo panicked, but she quickly calmed down, bit her lip, took a deep breath, and walked up to Chu Tian. She leaned gently against his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Brother, Luoluo will always be yours! But you have to wait a bit. Once Luoluo handles some things, I’ll give you everything."
Feeling her softness against him, Chu Tian thought to himself: *She really is wearing nothing underneath.*
Her words set his heart ablaze, but her mention of "handling things" snapped him back to reality.
"Handling things? What things?" Chu Tian asked.
He remembered that in his previous life, Luoluo hadn’t been with him in reality. Instead, she had hidden her identity and stayed by his side in the game as "Yiyi."
Did that mean she hadn’t resolved her issues back then, or perhaps she was unable to?
Was that why she disappeared, only able to accompany him in the game?
As these thoughts swirled in Chu Tian’s mind, Luoluo stood up, avoiding his question and changing the subject. "Brother, let’s go eat! I’m starving."
She pulled Chu Tian out of the bedroom and down to the dining room.
"I’ll cook today. All you can make is toast or fried eggs, and you always mess up the seasoning!" Chu Tian teased, patting her head.
"Hmph! You’re the first person to eat my cooking, and you dare complain it’s not good? Fine, you’re in charge of breakfast from now on!" Luoluo huffed, pretending to be angry.
Seeing her act like a little tiger, with her delicate, boneless figure, angelic face, and playful attempt to kick him, Chu Tian thought: *Go ahead and kick, kick higher.*
He knew she was completely bare underneath.
"I’ll cook, I’ll cook. Just wait and eat!" Chu Tian said, his mouth dry, letting out a small cough.
His gaze flicked to the curves wrapped in her tight nightdress.
He reached out, wrapping an arm around Luoluo’s waist, accidentally brushing the spot his eyes had lingered on. To his surprise, she didn’t resist.
She just blushed, giving him a fierce glance. Chu Tian chuckled awkwardly, keeping one arm around her as he led her to the dining table.
Seeing his cheeky expression, Luoluo found it amusing but was secretly pleased.
Chu Tian hadn’t forced anything, only sneaking small advantages now and then.
And those were ones she deliberately let him have—this silly brother.
He’d even secretly revel in it, so adorably foolish.
By now, Chu Tian had walked into the open kitchen.
Luoluo watched him absentmindedly, then glanced down at the dining table.
She recalled that day, on this very table, when she had…
That strange sensation, the first she’d ever felt in her life.
Her face flushed red, and she glanced at the busy Chu Tian.
Patting her chest, she thought: *Good thing he didn’t notice. Ugh, what am I even thinking about?*
Over dinner, they discussed whether to head to Hengdao’s place early.
They decided to go right after, to help Hengdao with preparations.
Jianzhi Cangtian had mentioned offline that if Yiyi had time, she could be a bridesmaid, since Hengdao’s fiancée had lost her parents ten years ago.
In Hengdao’s city, she had no friends, only colleagues.
Her side might feel a bit lonely at the wedding.
Among their mutual acquaintances, there were hardly any women. Hengdao’s sister was one, but rumor had it she was twice as broad as Jianzhi Cangtian.
Besides, as the groom’s sister, she couldn’t exactly be the bridesmaid.
So, Qi Xi, the bride, decided to keep things simple and forgo a bridesmaid.
But Hengdao felt guilty about it, especially since she was thirty-nine.
A twenty-six-year-old woman had followed him for ten years, waiting for him since she was sixteen.
Back then, the little girl had jokingly said she’d marry Hengdao when she grew up.
Who would’ve thought, three years later, she’d reappear as a grown woman?
Chu Tian and the others didn’t know what made a teenage girl fall for a man over a decade older.
Someday, they’d have to corner Hengdao and find out what kind of charm he’d used on her.
Though they’d never officially dated or been intimate since reuniting, Hengdao still felt uneasy about keeping things too simple.
He didn’t say it outright, but Jianzhi Cangtian, sharp as ever, had noticed.
So, offline, he’d privately asked Chu Tian and Luoluo to help.
The two discussed and, since it was Saturday with no classes, decided to drive to Jianzhi Cangtian’s place after breakfast.
With that settled, they ate quickly, grabbed their VR helmets, and prepared to leave.
Driving the imposing Paramount Marauder, they headed to the highway entrance.
Along the way, they naturally drew attention.
Countless rich kids probably went home demanding to buy the same car.
Only to get a beating from their dads.
At the highway entrance, Chu Tian was a bit worried.
The car was so flashy—would it even be allowed on the highway?
