Rose: What Am I Doing!

Humans are always subconsciously drawn to things or people that are cute and beautiful.

Psychology calls this behavior the Teddy Bear Effect.

Rose, naturally, was no exception.

Secondly, Ashe was strong enough.

During their spar at the police station, Ashe and Rose settled their victory with just their fists and feet.

During that time, Rose's posterior had gained a deep impression of Ashe's skills.

Then there was the confrontation with the Taotie on Airport Road, specifically regarding the use of Super Genes.

Ashe had swiftly and decisively dealt with the Taotie, displaying a power far beyond that of others.

It could be said that these two events combined...

...formed Rose's initial impression of Ashe.

She was a powerful warrior.

And Rose's personality was precisely that of someone who revered strength and admired heroes.

Ashe's power gave Rose a preliminary good impression of her.

But that was all there was to it.

To say that Rose was very welcoming of Ashe moving in would be impossible.

Therefore, Rose's question, while seemingly concerned, actually meant:

The rooms here are all very large. They were originally all single rooms, so you don't need to live with me.

Each dorm room key is unique; I don't have a spare for you.

You don't need to worry about toiletries; the dorm is equipped with everything you need. You can pick any room and move in right now.

Even if something is missing, you can report it, and it will be delivered immediately.

This was the true meaning behind Rose's words.

Ashe, of course, understood.

However, Ashe had no intention of acknowledging it.

Words spoken are like water poured out; they cannot be taken back.

Decisions made must be completed, or else you will likely achieve nothing.

Procrastinating until the end, accomplishing nothing, and leaving only regret.

In her previous life, Ashe had been just like that, living and dying in a daze.

In this life, Ashe had no intention of doing so.

She gazed at the Rose before her with a playful expression.

Ashe smiled and said, "That's great. Please help me apply for it."

"I look forward to our time together, my roommate, Rose."

She proactively reached out and took one of Rose's hands. Ashe looked at the visibly stunned Rose.

She raised an eyebrow.

A wild horse is more interesting to tame, and Ashe really wanted to ride a red horse right now.

"Mm-hmm, okay."

Rose responded subconsciously.

Meeting Ashe's gaze, for a fleeting moment, Rose felt like prey marked by a hunter.

"Side Quest: Tame the Wild Horse has begun. Host, please conquer the fine steed before you. She will bring you unexpected rewards."

"Oh, right, do you have any spare toiletries here?"

"I'm really tired after a long day. If you do, could you give me a set? I want to take a shower."

Her thoughts were somewhat jumbled.

However, Rose still took out a set of toiletries and handed it to Ashe.

Watching Ashe walk into the bathroom with the toiletries, Rose was still lost in thought.

She just got a new roommate just like that?

Half an hour later.

Rose lay on her bed, holding her phone, but her mind was nowhere near it.

She glanced at Ashe, who was walking around the room after her shower.

Looking, no, glancing at Ashe for a long time, Rose finally couldn't stand it.

She said loudly, "Hey, can you at least tie that bath towel properly?"

"You're completely exposed, do you know that?!"

"Huh?"

As if just realizing.

Ashe looked down at her attire.

Above the snow-white bath towel, glimpses of fair skin that couldn't be fully hidden were revealed.

Beneath her proud figure, faint abs from long-term exercise could be seen.

Upon closer inspection, one could even spot glistening water droplets on her smooth skin that hadn't been wiped away.

Her warm, fair, long, and shapely legs were completely exposed.

They retained traces of muscle from her workouts, yet were like warm jade, pure and flawless, drawing the eye.

Looking at her own appearance, Ashe scratched her head as if embarrassed.

She quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry. I'm used to being casual at home. I'll be more careful next time."

"It's fine, just be mindful. You're a girl, after all. Be more careful."

She waved her hand as if unconcerned.

Watching Ashe adjust the bath towel wrapped around herself.

Rose finally withdrew her gaze.

Clearing her mind, Rose stared at the phone in front of her, but her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to Ashe's attire just now.

Damn it, what am I thinking?

Biting her red lip, she forced herself to snap back to attention.

Rose didn't know why she had spoken up to reprimand Ashe's outfit.

They were both girls; how they dressed was their own business.

Rose wasn't someone who hadn't seen others dressed in various ways.

She wasn't that delicate, either.

As a warrior, she had been in all sorts of environments and faced all kinds of situations.

Logically, even if Ashe were naked, no, even if Ashe dressed casually, she shouldn't have cared and just ignored it.

But, for some reason.

Ever since Ashe had appeared dressed like that.

Rose's gaze had involuntarily drifted over.

What is wrong with me!
