"Originally, it was indeed so. The provincial martial arts academies were only at Tan Chao's level, or a bit higher. But there are many geniuses like my sister who have the same idea. Other martial arts academies in Jiangnan Province also have geniuses from the capital. Those who couldn't win any awards in the capital naturally set their sights on the smaller provincial competitions. So, it's a bit difficult for my sister to get into the top ten provincially. That's why I invited you back, hoping you could help my sister improve her strength and secure a good ranking."
"Alright, alright, it's just a provincial competition, is it that serious?"
"Heh heh." Changsun Qinghe let out a bitter laugh. With Zhou Hong's strength, he naturally wouldn't care. But for someone at her sister's level, a provincial competition trophy was still very precious.
"Hurry up and go take a shower. Oh, right, you didn't bring any spare clothes. It's my fault, I was too rushed." Changsun Qinghe suddenly gave a bitter laugh. She was so eager for Zhou Hong to stay at her place because of her sister. As soon as she left the venue, she hurried to find Zhou Hong, as if afraid he wouldn't come, and anxiously called him into the car, forgetting to take him back to get his clothes first.
"It's fine. I'll wear my old clothes again tomorrow. Tonight, I'll sleep without clothes, or wear my underwear inside out." Zhou Hong said with a nonchalant smile.
Changsun Qinghe's face couldn't help but blush. She quickly said, "Then you go wash first, and I'll go buy some for you at the community supermarket."
"Okay." Zhou Hong didn't think much of it and nodded directly before entering the bathroom.
"Uh!" Changsun Qinghe was speechless. She had only said it politely, thinking Zhou Hong would say he'd go downstairs himself. She never expected him to be so direct and ask her to buy underwear. As a girl, how could she be embarrassed to buy underwear for a guy?
Helplessly, Changsun Qinghe had to brace herself and went to a supermarket in the community. Blushing, she bought a few pairs of underwear for Zhou Hong. The supermarket attendant assumed Changsun Qinghe was buying for her boyfriend and asked her what size. She couldn't answer and ended up taking one of each size. Sudannovel.com
"Zhou Hong, I've put the underwear by the door. Just reach out and take them."
"Oh, okay."
After Zhou Hong finished showering, he reached out to the door, took the underwear inside, put on a pair, and went straight back to his room.
It was getting late. Zhou Hong, wearing only underwear, went to bed.
However, in the middle of the night, Zhou Hong suddenly felt an intense itch in a certain area.
"Why is it so itchy?" Zhou Hong quickly turned on the light and saw many red dots in that area.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Zhou Hong was startled.
"It must be that the underwear Changsun Qinghe bought is too poor quality. I wore it without washing, and it's also of poor quality. It's no wonder it's itchy," Zhou Hong thought to himself, feeling depressed. Although he knew medicine, in this situation, he had no other recourse but to scratch.
"I'll go to the bathroom and wash it with body wash," Zhou Hong told himself.
So, Zhou Hong quietly left his room and went to the bathroom. It was late at night, and he didn't want to disturb anyone, so he didn't turn on the light. In the darkness of the bathroom, he was washing with body wash.
"Ah!" Just then, the bathroom light suddenly turned on, and a scream was heard.
It was none other than Changsun Ruoyan, who had woken up to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
Changsun Ruoyan's room didn't have an en-suite bathroom, so she had to use the public one. She never expected that when she turned on the light, she would see a pervert in the dark bathroom, scrubbing something disgusting.
Changsun Ruoyan was completely stunned at that moment.
"Zhou Hong, you're too perverted! In the middle of the night, you're in the bathroom holding my underwear. You're shameless!" Changsun Ruoyan exclaimed angrily. What Zhou Hong was holding was not a towel, but a strip of cloth, which was her triangular underwear that she had forgotten to put away after bathing.
Seeing Changsun Ruoyan suddenly appear, Zhou Hong was also speechless. It was his fault for not paying attention earlier, which led to such an awkward situation.
"Don't misunderstand," Zhou Hong quickly said, while also using the strip of cloth to cover himself.
"You're still saying misunderstand? You're not sleeping in your room in the middle of the night, but in the bathroom, holding my underwear and doing such disgusting things!" Changsun Ruoyan found it hard to believe that Zhou Hong would do such a thing; it was too lewd.
Zhou Hong looked down and realized that what he thought was a 'towel' was actually a triangular piece of fabric.
"Ugh, I accidentally grabbed the wrong thing. I thought it was a towel. That's why I wondered why the towel was so thin," Zhou Hong muttered to himself. However, now that he was using it to cover himself, he didn't know whether to throw it away or keep it on.
Unfortunately, Changsun Ruoyan wasn't buying Zhou Hong's excuses.
At that moment, Changsun Qinghe also woke up and hurried in, wearing her pajamas. Since Zhou Hong was staying there tonight, she naturally wouldn't sleep naked.
"Ah, Zhou Hong? What are you doing!" Changsun Qinghe was also startled when she saw Zhou Hong naked in the bathroom, only partially covered by something.
"Captain Changsun, this is all your fault. The underwear you bought for me is of such poor quality that I developed a rash in the middle of the night and was itching like crazy. So, I came to the bathroom to wash it with body wash. After washing, I was going to dry myself with a towel, but I accidentally grabbed the wrong thing. It wasn't a towel; it was your sister's!" Zhou Hong felt his explanation was a bit weak.
"Then why didn't you turn on the light? And why didn't you close the door?"
"I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I quietly came to the bathroom without turning on the light. I thought it would only take a moment, but I didn't expect your sister to suddenly come out." Zhou Hong was also speechless.
"You, you hurry up and get dressed."
"My dirty clothes from yesterday are in my room. Can you get them for me?"
Changsun Qinghe had no choice but to go to Zhou Hong's room and get his dirty clothes from the day before.
Zhou Hong quickly changed and, when he walked out of the bathroom, Changsun Qinghe and her sister were no longer outside. Zhou Hong had no choice but to return to his own room.
Meanwhile, in Changsun Qinghe's room, Changsun Ruoyan was still describing to her sister how Zhou Hong had used her underwear for disgusting acts.
"Ruoyan, this must be a misunderstanding. Zhou Hong couldn't possibly be that kind of person. He has such a beautiful girlfriend; why would he need that?"
"Sister, in modern society, there are plenty of people with such peculiar fetishes. It has nothing to do with having a girlfriend. They like that feeling!"
"Alright, alright, as if you know everything. Hurry back to sleep. I believe Zhou Hong is not that kind of person."
"Hmph, I hope not." Changsun Ruoyan couldn't be bothered to say more and quickly returned to her room. However, she felt a bit annoyed in her heart. At the moment the light turned on, she had caught a glimpse of Zhou Hong's... well, you know.
