Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

"It's okay, there are some clean clothes in the closet that you can wear for now, they're all new."

"If you don't have enough, you can use mine."

As Jiang Qiu got up to dry Hong Xia's wet hair, she reminded her.

"Oh"

"Hey, Sister An, let me rub your back for you."

"I also need to go!"

"Why are you joining in? There's no room for that many people in the bathtub."

"You can rest assured about that. Jiang Qiu's bathtub can fit five people in it."

"???"

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils dilated in surprise. Why is this guy's bathtub in the bathroom so big?

But as the group photo of Jiang Qiu, Hong Xia, and the other three appeared in their minds, Mostima and the others seemed to realize something, and their gazes toward each other became somewhat strange.

This guy is absolutely ruthless and ambitious!

But the thought that it wasn't them who were being messed with immediately put their minds at ease, and they happily pushed each other as they continued running towards the bathroom.

Jiang Qiu didn't mind, and after pulling Hong Xia to sit on her lap, she continued to dry her hair.

"Are you going to stay here and play some more, or go back to your own house to sleep?"

"Of course we'll stay. It's the first time so many people have stayed overnight together."

Hongxia's magnetically levitated ahoge, which had already been wiped dry, swayed quite happily.

Once I've fully formed my own band, I'll definitely organize a training camp to increase team cohesion!

"Jiang Qiu? Is your phone broken?"

"You've been getting calls non-stop since just now, and they hang up immediately. It's been almost non-stop."

Croissant, who was happily rubbing her tummy, suddenly asked a question, her eyes full of curiosity as she looked at the phone on the table.

The caller ID was flashing, making her think it was a ghost calling.

"It's just a prank, don't worry about it, it'll probably stop in a bit."

Jiang Qiu calmly waved her hand.

Since they received a red envelope, the service naturally had to be adequate. I'll ask Sister Jing about it later.

And just as he said, the frantic hanging up of the phone stopped after a short while.

Croissant was stunned, but she didn't say much. After resting, she helped Mikasa clean up the mess.

As for Kiku, she was slumped on the sofa, looking listlessly at the familiar ceiling, her pupils appearing somewhat unfocused.

Although the craving for alcohol returned, this time there was no excessive reaction.

However, the deep-seated intoxication was gradually eradicated over time, replaced by a rapidly spreading anxiety that he was unwilling to face, attempting to pull him back to the most sober reality.

Especially when facing Exusiai and others, her unease and worries seemed to be completely exposed to the sunlight, and she felt powerless as if her whole being was being purified at any moment.

Just as her thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic and uneasy, Jiang Qiu's all-too-familiar face came into view.

As Kiku's head was lifted and placed on his lap, his warm, large hands gently massaged her temples.

"Feeling bad again?"

""

Under the healed effect controlled to its lowest level, Kiku let out a few contented hums.

Even so, she couldn't help but mutter to herself—

"Jiang Qiu, I want to drink."

"Just bear with it a little longer, there's only one day left. I'll get you whatever you want to drink then."

"Then I want Yongcui Fan, all flavors!"

"no problem."

"I still want to drink the Oni Clan's Heavy Drink, the one with a huge tub!"

"Okay, but I can't let you drink the whole bucket in one go."

"Would the water of life also be acceptable?"

"Then you need to dilute it with more water, otherwise you might really drink yourself to death."

Texas was momentarily lost in thought as she watched Jiang Qiu coaxing Juli like a child.

This guy is even more formidable than I imagined; he'll have that thing completely under his thumb sooner or later.

Just as I was muttering to myself, the white dog couldn't resist nudging its fluffy head over, whimpering expectantly—

"I want to press it too!"

"I think it's beautiful."

"I gave you both the red and blue buffs this afternoon!"

"I earned it through my own strength!"

"Damn it, you really were trying to steal it directly, and you even accused the other side of invading your jungle... wait a minute, that force... ugh... ahh..."

Under Jiang Qiu's scratching, which could be described as soul-sucking, the dog, which had been making a fuss, immediately quieted down.

Texas's eyelids twitched as she watched Jiang Qiu suppress Lappland with just one hand.

Damn, could this dog be any more embarrassing?

Before she could even offer a few words of reminder, Remian's voice drifted out from the bathroom—

"Texas, Lappland, wanna shower together? There's plenty of space in the bathroom."

"I'll give you both a bath and grooming of your tails, you've been shedding a lot lately, haven't you?"

"coming."

"Yeah, I'll wait a bit longer, I'm really enjoying myself."

"Hey, come this way, yes, yes, this is it, oh."

"From now on, you'll be my personal masseuse. I'll definitely call you again next time."

Texas glared at the dog, who was so engrossed in pleasure that she was almost out of her mind, but ignored her and went to the bathroom first.

Watching her departing figure, Jiang Qiu seemed to remember something and quickly asked—

"Are you going to sleep in the bedroom later, or sleep on the floor in the living room?"

"It has to be in the living room, which is perfect for showing horror movies and creating atmosphere!"

Chapter 30, Section 32: The bed at night always holds all sorts of secrets.

"Are you all ready? I'm going to turn off the lights now."

"okay!"

"Wait! I strongly demand that Ah Neng and Sister An be moved to the edge; they're too much of a third wheel."

"Hey, I've already wrapped myself in the blanket."

Exusiai pouted somewhat unhappily, her whole body almost wrapped up like a spring roll.

Despite her protests, Texas and the others forcibly carried her to the edge of the viewing area.

After everyone had settled into their positions, Jiang Qiu turned off the lights.

As the living room was plunged into darkness, two halos of light stubbornly shone through.

Mostima, who was closest to the camera, was so dazzled that her face darkened, and she spoke with a hint of resentment—

"Can anyone switch places with me? My aura is dark, so it doesn't obstruct my view."

"No, you guys with the spotlight can just get together for quarantine."

"I'll do it. I'm a little afraid to watch horror movies. I'll feel more at ease with the light on."

"Oh wow, Hongxia is still the best."

"Look at you lot, don't you have any conscience?!"

Mostima poked Croissant and the others' pretty faces with a disgruntled gesture, and then switched places with Nijigasaki as quietly as possible.

After crawling back into her new bed, Mostima snuggled up comfortably.

After confirming that no one wanted to change positions, Jiang Qiu began to grope around her.

However, a few seconds later—

"Have you seen the remote control?"

"Wasn't it just in Xiao Le's hands?"

"I haven't touched it since I put it on the coffee table!"

"The ones who moved the coffee table just now were Croissant and Mikasa."

"It's not on the coffee table."

""

As the living room fell into an unspeakable silence, a chain of suspicion was instantly formed.

The way everyone looked at each other was filled with suspicion, completely devoid of the friendship and trust they once shared.

"Lappland, you didn't hide the remote control under the tail, did you?"

"How could that be! But you, you're all wrapped up in the blanket, you might have accidentally wrapped the remote control inside."

"I just checked, there's definitely none!"

"Croissant?"

"I swear on Lappland's head."

"Let's make this clear beforehand: if we find out anyone has been hiding the remote control, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Hiding valuable weapons in secret is a capital offense!"

""

Jiang Qiu paused for a moment after finding the remote control under her pillow, but then pretended nothing had happened and continued leaning against the sofa.

But the hand holding the remote control silently passed over Mikasa, trying to hide in the other people's positions.

With Jiang Qiu's tentative flick—

Snapped!

"Hey, the remote control seems to be in Texas."

"This is a frame-up!!!"

"Caught red-handed, the evidence is irrefutable! Guards, carry out the execution!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Croissant and Lappland attacked from the left and right, instantly engaging Texas in a fierce battle.

While the thing was playing around, Mikasa took the remote and started playing a movie.

As eerie and chilling music drifted out, the three who had been bickering suddenly shuddered and immediately burrowed back into bed, leaving only their heads sticking out.

Hongxia's face was tense as she tried to move as close to the light as possible.

The magnetically levitated ahoge (cowlick) swayed nervously like an alarm, ready to go berserk at any moment.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the movie, Jiang Qiu seemed to notice something, and her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Mikasa's hand trembled, and she quickly stuffed the phone back into the blanket.

Although the environment was dim, Jiang Qiu could still notice that the other person's face was flushed with an unnatural blush, as if they were feeling guilty.

"Let me see it too, good things should be shared."
