Restroom Misunderstanding

Chen Ming looked at the divine artifacts before him: a divine-grade heavy hammer, a divine-grade fishing rod, a divine-grade Silver Dragon Spear, and the super-divine-grade Sky Saint Rift Halberd.

Not only that, but Di Qiu'er also had a divine-grade Golden Dragon Spear on her side.

He hadn't expected that he would suddenly acquire so many divine artifacts, all thanks to Di Qiu'er, the Auspicious Beast.

It must be said that having an elder in the house is like having a treasure; thinking this, Chen Ming glanced at Di Qiu'er, who was hiding in the bathroom and doing who knows what.

She was over ten thousand years old, so she was indeed an elder; the saying about having an elder as a treasure truly applied here.

Afterward, Chen Ming had nothing to do; with an iron farm, a ranch, and semi-automatic farmland, he was almost never short of resources.

Moreover, even if he did run low, he could just have Di Qiu'er open some chests for him.

Just as Chen Ming was scrolling through videos, feeling idle, the bathroom door suddenly opened. He looked up and saw Di Qiu'er let out a burp, looking full and satisfied.

Wait, what?! Hold on! What the hell did you do?! You walked out of the bathroom, and you're full?!

At the same time, Di Qiu'er looked over, noticed Chen Ming's strange expression, and immediately stiffened, offering an awkward greeting.

"Uh... Brother, are you doing okay?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming hurriedly pressed her:

"Did you just eat something in the bathroom?"

Di Qiu'er was shocked—he knew?! A flash of guilt crossed her eyes. She had just eaten five bottles of cola, ten bags of chips, ten bags of cookies, five Golden Cream Fruits, three bags of candy, and five bottles of Sprite in the bathroom.

She had only come out after accidentally getting full, but she absolutely could not admit to it.

After all, she had promised Chen Ming just a short while ago that she wouldn't eat snacks for an entire day... She immediately shook her head in denial:

"No!"

Seeing her guilty expression, Chen Ming's gaze became even stranger. Damn it, what could you possibly eat in a bathroom?!

"You! From now on, you are not allowed on my bed! You are not allowed to sit at the same table as me, and you are not allowed to use the same bowls and utensils!"

Chen Ming looked at Di Qiu'er with horror; he never expected that the thick-browed, big-eyed Auspicious Beast would actually go to the bathroom to eat...

"Ah?! No! Brother, I was wrong! I won't dare do it again!"

Seeing that she had been found out, Di Qiu'er immediately slid to her knees and hugged his leg to apologize. Chen Ming's movements stiffened, and he looked at Di Qiu'er's mouth and hands.

He didn't know if she had washed them clean... Resisting the urge to kick her away, Chen Ming said as gently as he could:

"Qiu'er... why would you go to the bathroom... to do that kind of thing?"

"It's because you wouldn't let me eat snacks, Brother... I had no choice but to eat them in secret..."

Di Qiu'er said honestly. Chen Ming took a deep breath, nearly choking and dying on the spot.

"Even if I don't let you eat snacks, you can't go to the bathroom to eat that kind of stuff!"

Chen Ming finally couldn't help but pinch her cheeks and ask indignantly. Di Qiu'er was completely bewildered. What was going on? What "that kind of stuff"?

"What kind of stuff? Are we talking about the same thing?"

Di Qiu'er was quite clever and quickly realized they weren't on the same page, so she immediately asked for clarification.

"...Then what did you just eat in the bathroom?"

Chen Ming frowned, sensing something was wrong. They looked at each other and instantly realized it was a misunderstanding.

"Snacks! I had the cola, Sprite, cookies, and chips on me."

Di Qiu'er pulled out a few bags of snacks to show that she had been eating snacks. Hearing this, Chen Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

"You scared me to death. I thought you went to the bathroom to have a meal. So it was just little snacks."

Chen Ming immediately put on a relaxed expression. After hearing his words, Di Qiu'er turned beet red, gritted her teeth, and shouted angrily:

"How could I possibly eat that kind of stuff, you jerk!"

Di Qiu'er launched herself like a rocket, knocking Chen Ming onto the bed, then straddled his lower abdomen and began swinging away.

Her two little pink fists rained down like a storm. Chen Ming covered his head with hands coated in golden dragon scales.

"You can't blame me! After all, when someone eats in the bathroom, it's hard not to associate it with that place!"

"Jerk! In your eyes, am I that kind of person?!"

Di Qiu'er was so angry her face turned red. She didn't know how Chen Ming's brain worked to even associate it with such a place. Did he want her to shove his head into the toilet?

"Cough, cough, stop hitting me. This one's on me. I won't forbid you from eating snacks anymore, as long as you don't eat them in the bathroom."

"Jerk! You're still saying it! Do you want a beating?"

A moment later, the two separated. Di Qiu'er was still indignant, wishing she could step on his face to humiliate him.

She didn't know what this jerk was thinking; there was no way she would ever do such a thing.

After playing around for a while, Chen Ming calculated the time and realized it was almost dawn, so he put Di Qiu'er into a Pokeball and logged out.

Douluo World, Tiandou Planet, Tiantou Technology Academy.

Chen Ming went to the large lecture hall for class as usual. His roommates hadn't skipped class this time and had all come to the lecture hall for their ideology class.

The four of them sat in the middle of a six-person row, leaving two seats empty. During this time, Chen Ming also saw the people from Class One whom he had defeated in seconds last time.

Facing their angry glares, Chen Ming remained completely dismissive, not even bothering to spare them a glance.

It wasn't until the bell was about to ring for class that two figures arrived fashionably late. Looking around at the empty seats, several boys from Class One waved eagerly:

"Class monitor, vice monitor, sit over here! We have space."

Faced with their eager expressions, Lan Mengqin ignored them. She scanned the room and quickly noticed there were two seats left beside Chen Ming, so she immediately pulled Dong Qianqiu over.

"Heartthrob, is it alright if I sit here?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming looked up slightly at Lan Mengqin, pointing at himself with a blank expression as he asked:

"Me? Heartthrob?"

"Yeah, that incident yesterday has already spread like wildfire through Class One. All the girls in our class are calling you the heartthrob now."

"...Sit if you want, no one is..."

Chen Ming's eye twitched as he withdrew his gaze and gestured for her to sit down. Lan Mengqin immediately pulled Dong Qianqiu down to sit with her.

Chen Ming's three roommates suddenly straightened up. Even though Chen Ming was sitting between them, they felt they had to put on a good show since there were pretty girls nearby.

"By the way, where is your sister? Did she not come, or is she not in this classroom for class?"

Lan Mengqin asked curiously about the whereabouts of Di Qiu'er. Hearing this, Chen Ming made up a lie on the spot.

"My sister snuck into the cold storage room at midnight last night to steal ice cream. She stayed in that minus thirty-degree freezer for an hour straight and ate about five liters worth of ice cream. Now she's at home lying in bed with a stomachache."
