For Future Investment

"From now on, this room belongs to Sister Zhu Zhuqing and me! As for you, Du Hao... you're our personal manservant!!"

Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug as she flicked her scorpion braid behind her. She looked absolutely adorable!

"Huh? No way, are you looking to get kicked out?" Hearing this, Du Hao quickly shook off the charm the two girls were exerting over him!

He was the first to disagree and retort!

In response, Xiao Wu simply hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm and said triumphantly, "Well, obviously, since Sister Zhu Zhuqing is the one paying the rent! Any problems with that?"

"That's still not happening!" Du Hao was immediately displeased.

"You're just an outsider, why are you trying to snatch Zhu Zhuqing away from me?" As he spoke, he stepped between Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, pushing them apart.

"And another thing, why are you so familiar with us?"

Watching Du Hao block her path to Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu gave a sweet smile and promptly bypassed him.

"I'm a girl too, you know~"

"..." Hearing Xiao Wu say that, Du Hao fell silent.

Silence was the main theme of the moment.

"Delicious! Give me another one!" After finishing the green onion in her hand in a few bites, Xiao Wu reached out her small hand, asking Du Hao for more without hesitation.

I have to admit, these green onions were truly delicious. Not only did they leave no bad breath, but they also cleared heat and quenched thirst; they were simply a delicacy that shouldn't exist in this world.

"Hehe, here you go..." At this moment, Du Hao, holding a broom, was serving the two little ancestors with a bitter expression.

Gone was the smug look he had when he first arrived; instead, he looked like a bullied Cinderella... or rather, a Cinder-fella.

However, seeing the two girls enjoy his green onions made Du Hao quite happy. A mere little cat and a little rabbit—wouldn't they both be in the palm of his hand sooner or later?

Du Hao returned to his room to tidy up his bed, indulging in wicked fantasies as he fluffed the pillows!

He couldn't stop imagining a wonderful future where he held both of them in his arms! Every time he thought of the crucial parts, he couldn't help but let out a villainous, king-like smirk!

Xiao Wu, passing by Du Hao's bedroom, saw this scene and stared at the brand-new bedding in his hands, confused.

"Du Hao, this bedding... is it from the room?" Looking at Du Hao's bedding, she felt a vague, bad premonition for some reason.

"Huh? This? Of course, I brought it from home. I'm not used to the bedding provided in these rooms, so I just use my own." Du Hao explained calmly.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something. Xiao Wu was a work-study student, and if he wasn't mistaken...

"Isn't the school-issued stuff good?" Xiao Wu looked blank, a carrot she'd brought with her in her mouth, her face full of innocence.

"Uh, students who pay tuition might get bedding, but I don't think work-study students get any." Seeing Xiao Wu fall into a misunderstanding, Du Hao explained the school's system to her.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt terrible. "Ah! Work-study students have to bring their own?" Even the carrot in her mouth didn't taste good anymore.

"Sister Xiao Wu, it's already good enough that they provide a dormitory for work-study students. As for bedding, everyone brings their own. Didn't you know that, Xiao Wu?" Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice drifted over from where she had followed them.

"Sister Xiao Wu, you can use mine for now. You can pay me back after I help you pay your tuition tomorrow." Having already prepared for this, Zhu Zhuqing handed her own bedding to the small hands in front of her.

"Then, Sister Zhuqing, where will you sleep tonight?" Xiao Wu called her 'sister' with genuine willingness! This was the first human in the human world who had been this kind to her.

Ever since her mother... when she was little...

Hearing Xiao Wu's concerned question, Zhu Zhuqing smiled coolly. "It's fine. Isn't there another quilt here? It's enough for two people to sleep under..."

"I believe our manservant wouldn't refuse this condition, right?"

"Sigh! Zhuqing, don't look at me like that, I'm a very restless sleeper." Du Hao felt a bit uncomfortable. Even though he knew this scene would happen sooner or later, now that it was actually happening, he still felt a bit shy~

In short: he was afraid that Zhu Zhuqing was just too good at this!

One had to know, in the past, Zhu Zhuqing had always obeyed his every request. Sometimes he even wondered if Zhu Zhuqing was spoiling him too much.

He had even almost done that!

"Du Hao, let's discuss something~" Seeing Du Hao's expression, Zhu Zhuqing said adorably.

"What?"

"You wouldn't want those things to be known by others, would you? Behave yourself, otherwise... you know." Zhu Zhuqing whispered this final threat into Du Hao's ear.

He snuck another glance at Zhu Zhuqing, who was wearing tight leather clothing, and swallowed hard.

"It has to be after I'm an adult! Otherwise, I'll jump off the second floor!" In the end, Du Hao was forced to agree to Zhu Zhuqing's unequal treaty.

"Fine, that's acceptable." Hearing Du Hao's reply, Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly agreed to this request.

A moment later...

Looking at the two extra-large beds pushed together in the room, Du Hao felt his head spinning!

"No... why did you move your bed over?" Du Hao stared, dumbfounded, at the pink-haired rabbit in front of him.

"Sister Zhuqing is here, why can't I be? Or do you want to hog her all to yourself?" As she finished speaking, Xiao Wu grabbed the waist of Zhu Zhuqing, who was helplessly covering her face!

"You..." Zhu Zhuqing, who had originally wanted to pull some small tricks, was left speechless by the scene.

However, since things had reached this point, there was nothing more they could say; they would just have to leave it at that.

As for having Xiao Wu move back in, looking at the damaged door across the way, Du Hao could already foresee the issue of compensation; that girl had a reckless streak.

There was no need to even look at that room across the hall.

In the eyes of both Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing, the place looked as if a wall had been demolished; it was no longer fit for sleeping.

"Ugh, done!" With her martial soul possessed, Xiao Wu pushed the two beds together in a few quick movements.

"That's that! Du Hao! This line will serve as the boundary in the middle. This side is for me and Sister Zhuqing, and if you dare to cross it..." She finished her sentence by clenching her fists until they cracked and popped.

Seeing this, Du Hao didn't know how many times he had wanted to complain.

"If you wanted me to sleep separately, couldn't you have just let me sleep in that room you ruined earlier?" Every time he thought about the room with the giant hole in it, Du Hao felt as though his hundred thousand gold soul coins wouldn't last as long as he had thought.

Forget it, there would be plenty of time in the future.

He just had to think about Xiao Wu's long legs and Zhu Zhuqing's exquisite figure; he could just consider all of this an investment.

In any case, they were both future wives, so he wasn't losing out!
