Zhong Yingxue, who had followed, was utterly confused.
Seeing Jiangnan about to pass out from being choked.
She quickly intervened: “Xiao Yao? What’s wrong? Didn’t your physical stats improve?”
Xia Yao, full of resentment, kept her grip on Jiangnan.
“They improved! But… it’s gone! All gone!”
“Jiangnan, you die!”
With that, she shook his neck furiously again!
Zhong Yingxue, stunned: “What’s gone?”
Xia Yao: “My… my… ugh!”
Her face reddened; how could she say it out loud?
At that moment, Jiangnan realised something!
Looking at the two beauties in bathrobes before him.
His eyes grew increasingly panicked!
He glanced at Xia Yao subconsciously!
Swallowing hard: “You… you two didn’t use the water in that tub to bathe, did you?”
Damn!
Oh damn!
This was a disaster!
The strength potion bath would make you bald!
No hair below the eyebrows?
Did Xia Yao fall victim?
“Pfft… hahahahaha!”
Jiangnan couldn’t hold it in! He sat on the bed, clutching his stomach, roaring with laughter!
Tears streamed down his face.
Xia Yao’s face was as red as a ripe apple, clutching her bathrobe tightly!
Her teeth itched with rage!
Like an enraged dog!
Clearly, Jiangnan knew what she’d lost!
She was mortified.
Zhong Yingxue, still confused, asked: “Xiao Yao, what’s gone?”
Xia Yao, embarrassed and angry, glared at Jiangnan, unable to say it!
She leaned over to whisper in Zhong Yingxue’s ear!
“Mumble~ mumble mumble~ all gone!”
Zhong Yingxue’s face flushed red instantly.
Then, puzzled: “Why… why am I fine?”
Jiangnan was stunned too.
The strength potion’s effects were undeniable!
It boosted physical stats, no question!
It also made you bald, no question!
But Zhong Yingxue bathed too, and she was…
The first to bathe! Why was she fine?
Xia Yao rolled her eyes at Zhong Yingxue: “Ugh, because you didn’t have any to begin with!”
Jiangnan: ???
He looked at Zhong Yingxue, his gaze turning strange.
Hmm?
Nothing to begin with?
Could it be Xuexue…
He’d stumbled on some incredible secret!
Zhong Yingxue’s face turned crimson, and she clamped a hand over Xia Yao’s mouth…
“Mmph! Mmph mmph~”
Xia Yao, finally breaking free, wasn’t letting Jiangnan off!
She locked him in a chokehold!
“Admit it! You did it on purpose!”
“You’re so dead!”
Jiangnan, struggling innocently: “How would I dare! You bathed on your own, I didn’t make you!”
“It’s gone, so it’s gone, right?”
Xia Yao snapped: “What do you mean, gone’s just gone! It’s not you who…”
Their eyes both locked onto Jiangnan!
He’d bathed too, so didn’t that mean he…
Seeing their looks, Jiangnan’s heart quaked!
Done for, his little secret was exposed too!
If people kept finding out, his secrets would be public knowledge!
Xia Yao giggled: “So you too? Tsk tsk tsk~ little kid!”
“So, what’s the plan?”
“One Big White Rabbit candy can fix anything, I’m telling you! No, two…”
Half an hour later…
Jiangnan knelt on the bed, looking aggrieved!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao sat smugly in chairs!
Each with a beauty pill in their mouth, another in their pocket!
Zhong Yingxue: “Spill! What’s going on?”
Xia Yao: “Confess!”
Jiangnan, guilty: “Uh, this stuff’s called strength potion…”
“Drink it, and your physical stats skyrocket tenfold! Lasts three days, but the cost is baldness!”
“Bathing in it permanently boosts physical stats, but… you know the consequences!”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue’s mouths dropped, stunned!
That incredible?
Looking at Jiangnan’s pitiful expression.
He must be a victim of the strength potion too.
Jiangnan was secretly relieved.
Thank goodness they didn’t get any in their mouths while bathing…
Or he’d be dead in this room today!
Xia Yao pouted: “From now on, we’re bathing in strength potion every day!”
“Got it?”
Jiangnan blinked: “You sure?”
Xia Yao rolled her eyes: “It’s already gone, what’s there to fear?”
Jiangnan snickered: “You’re taking it well!”
“You’re still talking!”
Zhong Yingxue, serious: “This stays between us three!”
Jiangnan: “You mean the strength potion, or the ‘all gone’ thing…”
Zhong Yingxue’s face flushed, glaring at him: “What do you think? Both stay secret!”
Jiangnan grinned: “So it’s our little trio’s secret, huh?”
Zhong Yingxue had no loss.
Xia Yao was itching with frustration!
Thinking about it!
The Big White Rabbit candy in her mouth lost its sweetness!
“Later, tidy up and help Xiao Nan move!”
“Tomorrow’s Grandpa Zhong’s birthday banquet, we all need to show up!”
Jiangnan paused. Old Man Zhong’s birthday?
He was curious and wanted to go, always intrigued by the Zhong family.
But due to Luo Tianxiang, his impression of them wasn’t great!
That afternoon, Xia Yao drove Zhong Yingxue and Jiangnan to his rented place.
A Mercedes G parked at the alley entrance drew the attention of some old folks.
The two girls followed Jiangnan inside!
Seeing the tiny, less than 20-square-meter room, neatly kept by Jiangnan!
They fell silent. Had he lived like this all these years?
Their gazes toward Jiangnan softened with maternal warmth…
Zhong Yingxue, gently: “Don’t worry, Xiao Nan! I’ll make sure you live well!”
Xia Yao, ruffling his hair: “Don’t be scared, Xiao Nan, your big sis has your back!”
Jiangnan: ???
What’s wrong with me?
Pitied to this extent?
As expected!
Women are imagination monsters!
Self-convincing personalities…
With his dimensional space, moving was easy for Jiangnan, and he didn’t have much to pack.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhou, he moved out!
Zhou Yuqing was sad for a while, inviting Jiangnan to come back for meals.
At the door of the little flat he’d lived in for three years, Jiangnan stood gazing for a long time.
Then, with a bright smile: “Let’s go!”
