Chapter 381 Qingyou: Hehe, I must survive! (4k)

The water temperature for bathing of different people is completely different. According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, the water temperature for bathing of women is obviously hotter.

Qingyou seems to be an exception. His body temperature is relatively high and his bath water is quite hot. Ai Li only discovered this after they got married. The bath water temperature that Qingyou likes is exactly the same as hers!

Recently she has read a lot of relationship posts on the forum and found that this situation is very rare in marriage. Most wives would complain that their husbands have messed up the bathroom and that the bathroom used by their husbands is dirty and smelly.

On the contrary, Airike liked to take a bath in the bathroom where Qingyou had taken a bath. She felt very happy, and was surrounded by Qingyou’s unique scent.

So it was a good thing that Qingyou chose to take a shower first. She could just go in and enjoy it without having to worry about being seen and laughed at by Qingyou for her embarrassing behavior.

But Ayano also stayed in the bathroom for a while, which was like the delicious chocolate was tangled with shit, and Airi suddenly didn’t want to take a bath anymore.

When Qingyou finished, wiped herself clean and came out with a towel wrapped around her, she saw Xiaomu Zeng Ningning pushing a huge device into the room and was about to stuff it into the bathroom.

“What’s going on?” Qingyou turned to Aili and asked. He had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, and his almost perfect upper body muscle lines were mixed with a few water droplets. Coupled with his wet hair and bright eyes, Aili was flustered.

So Ai Li, who had been confident enough to tease Qing You, was teased by him instead. She was stunned for a few seconds before she weakly replied, “Disinfection!”

“……Wow.”

Qingyou walked around her. Fortunately, he knew to go to another room to change clothes!

How could he suddenly come out so casually? He had clearly changed into a full set of conservative pajamas at home so that Ai Li could see him… Ai Li felt a little sour. This was certainly the change she expected to happen in Qingyou, but the timing of the change was a little subtle.

You, you’re already like this, how can I be sarcastic to you… Ai Li thought indignantly.

“Sister, shall we start now?” After Xiao Mu Zeng Ningning adjusted the mode of the disinfection equipment, she poked her head out from behind the machine and asked.

“let’s start.”

Airi’s voice was weak.

Soon, Qingyou, who had changed into a set of silk pajamas, returned to Aili and said, “Ayano’s time stop seems to require a special stone.”

“what?”

“It’s the kind that doesn’t look very solid, and it shines with colorful luster…” Qingyou gestured with his hand, “She is willing to share some information with me, but not too much. At least it proves that my hope is reliable.”

“What hope?”

“To be a bridge of communication between you two.” Qingyou looked at Aili’s face seriously, “She is still willing to tell me something from her heart.”

“Oh, so you mean you and I are already strangers?!”

Ai Li’s momentum suddenly increased, and her blood-red eyes surged with sharp ripples. If it was an ordinary scumbag here, he would probably have been scared to death, but Qingyou stood still. After all, he was a person who had been stabbed, so he couldn’t lose in terms of psychological quality.

Instead, he patted Airi’s head and said, “No way. You are going to inherit the family now, and you have accumulated more and more achievements in your career. Ayano may feel that she is not worthy of being your friend… Well, it shouldn’t be that serious. Anyway, she just thinks you may be too good.”

“…No way.”

Ai Li pouted in grievance.

Well, she really didn’t know how to show kindness to her friends, no matter it was the arrogance of being a young lady, or Ayano’s uniqueness, Ayano’s taste in “those” aspects, that kind of socialite style, that kind of face that was super pleasing to men, Airi would even feel a little jealous. This jealousy reached its peak when she saw Ayano’s naughty little hands on the surveillance camera, and then her mood quickly subsided because Qingyou was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Humph.

Airi admitted that Qingyou pig was indeed something. Even a master of seducing men like Ayano could handle it so elegantly and indifferently.

“These three days are a good opportunity. Take this opportunity to carefully observe your two best friends, and also observe me… You may have misunderstandings about both them and me.”

“Where is the misunderstanding?”

“For example, to me, even if we don’t consider what kind of relationship we will have in the future, you are more important than Ayano. Old colleagues are always better than new colleagues… As for them, I wonder if you have heard of a theory: a few close friends who grew up together and have been together for many years will ignore each other’s growth in recent years, fix the impression of each other in their hearts as a stereotype of a certain period, and then lose the motivation to explore the newly formed boundaries of each other’s personality.”

“……speak English.”

“In short, the three of you all have your own little thoughts that other people don’t understand. For example, you can’t figure out why Ayano would hook up with me, right?”

“No! No!” Ai Li suddenly felt angry and amused. She hugged Qingyou and hit her a few times, saying, “She is just a bitch. She just likes to snatch my delicious food. She was like that before.”

“Oh, so, are you really just so annoyed because your delicious food was taken away?”

It started again. Looking at Qingyou’s half-smile in the corner of his eyes, Ai Li couldn’t help but push him hard. Qingyou lay down on the brand new big bed with his limbs looking very stretched.

“You are such a good quibbler. Humph, it looks like I have to punish you tonight. Since you refused to have more interactions with Ayano, I won’t hold you responsible for this. But… you said that if I caught you doing anything with other girls, you would pay me back tenfold.”

“Did I say that?”

“Yes!”

Ai Li’s eyes were a little evasive. Qingyou knew she was talking nonsense, and she also knew Qingyou knew she was talking nonsense, but both parties tacitly chose to accept this result.

What a hearty game!

Knowing the existence of densely packed cameras installed by Airi, the moment Qingyou saw Ayano, his brain started to work rapidly, as if it had entered some kind of berserk mode, and its performance was superb.

It should be noted that what Qingyou has to do is not to try to hide the matter like those timid men who cheat on their wives and marry into their families, but to gradually change the girls’ minds and finally reach a peaceful ending.

Speaking of changing their minds, Airi and Ayano have both gone crazy, and Xiaotong has a soft personality, so it is indeed feasible. However, feasibility and actual operation are two different things. When it really comes to the point, it still reflects Qingyou’s personal ability. Emotions are contagious, so Qingyou tries to avoid big emotional fluctuations and maintains his usual coolness and casualness… supplemented by the temptation of beauty.

Come to think of it, my figure is really lethal to a pure little girl like Aili.

I just don’t know how long this lethality can last.

Hehehe, I must survive.

——Thinking like this, Qingyou looked down at Chihaya Airi, and sank into the deep night with her.

……

In a trance, Qingyou found himself sitting on a plane, with Xiaotong next to him who was trying hard to fasten her seat belt.

Hitomi Shimamura has always paid great attention to necessary measures such as seat belts and will not ignore them for the sake of saving trouble. This is actually quite rare. Most adults ignore the so-called safety measures more and more as they grow older. It’s like driving a car. Experienced drivers will usually get used to cheating, but Hitomi Shimamura is the type who strictly follows the regulations. So even though she has had a driver’s license for a long time, she is very stiff when driving… Fortunately, it seems that driving is not a necessity when working in Tokyo.

In metropolitan areas with well-developed public transportation and congested cities, the subway is much more pleasant than driving yourself – unless you want to do something with a girl in the car.

“Senior, this is my first time traveling abroad. Um… well, it’s not the first time, but the destination this time is a bit far away. Um, if the arrangements are not thoughtful, maybe… um…”

“It’s okay.” Qingyou shook his head, took out his cell phone and flipped through the memo, and soon understood the theme of this lucid dream.

Sometimes a single lucid dream is a separate theme, but more often it is like a series, broadcast on different nights.

Hitomi Shimamura secretly observed Qingyou and saw him open the memo on his mobile phone with a relieved expression.

As for how to make Qingyou quickly enter the plot she constructed after falling asleep, Shimamura Hitomi already has sufficient experience. That is, when designing the dream, she adds some prompts in Qingyou’s mobile phone memo. He has always liked to write down the key words of the schedule, a concise and effective recording method. Shimamura Hitomi believes that she can imitate 99% of it. Even the shorthand method that Shimamura Hitomi teaches students in class is the one that Qingyou taught her before.

This dream is the beginning of a series. In the “first episode” of this beginning, the two of them took a plane to leave Tokyo and headed to a tourist destination abroad, which was equivalent to a honeymoon, because Qingyou said that he would leave the eldest lady at some point and become her real lover…

“The air over there will be more humid, but as for the diet, it’s easy to get a sore throat. Um… I’m going to take you to drink herbal tea after we get off the plane.” Qingyou looked at Shimamura Hitomi’s chubby little face. In fact, she is not fat, but her little round face does not quite fit the aesthetic of internet celebrities. In Qingyou’s opinion, it is more practical.

By practicality, I mean the ability to look good without makeup.

Some girls look stunning with heavy makeup and mirror, but average without makeup. Hitomi Shimamura is the exact opposite. She looks natural without any makeup.

“Senior, you really know a lot about China.”

“Haha, yes. This is my personal hobby.” People will of course be obsessed with their hometown, so it is naturally great to be able to revisit their hometown in a lucid dream, but I don’t know how true the restoration is.

Qingyou thinks that lucid dreams are a supernatural phenomenon, which means that unlike ordinary dreams, they are not based on one’s own subconscious mind, so the China in the dream may not be authentic.

In this regard, Shimamura Hitomi was a little unsure. The Dream Wanderer required manual input of parameters, and the AI-generated functions could only be unlocked after upgrading to the next level. So she was a little unsure about the plot this time. Her impression of China was mostly based on hearsay and online information. What if Qingyou was not satisfied? Wouldn’t this dream have a counterproductive effect?

She regretted it. While she was still on the plane, Hitomi Shimamura had already started to regret it. If she had known earlier, she would not have taken out the high-level catalyst stored in the refrigerator to construct the dream. She should have done a more detailed research first.

Well, anyway, on the plane, in the hotel… spend your time in these places first to avoid being exposed. Well, the seniors will probably like it anyway.

Hitomi Shimamura started her classic struggle again. Sometimes people who lack decisiveness are like this. A thing will half-turn over in their heads, but they will still make a not-so-good decision based on instinctive impulse, and then start to regret it when the time comes.

Most people are like this.

However, what Hitomi Shimamura did not expect was that Qingyou had already discovered the bug when taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel.

It’s not that Qingyou’s observation skills are so sharp. After all, he is not picky about reality. It’s all a dream, so it doesn’t matter. But the cars running on the road in his hometown in his previous life were right-hand drive, which is really a bit difficult to maintain…

At least it proves Qingyou’s conjecture that lucid dreams are not based on or are not entirely based on Qingyou’s own consciousness, but perhaps on group consciousness, or the consciousness of an independent individual… and so on.

Qingyou suddenly had a subtle feeling.

When they got to the hotel, this feeling was even stronger, especially when the hotel receptionist enthusiastically asked them if they needed to replace the toilet seat with a softer one…

Even luxury hotels usually don’t ask proactively, and requests are only granted after customers make them. However, the situation in this dream seems to be a setting that should exist in every hotel.

Qingyou remembered very clearly that Shimamura Hitomi once said that her irresponsible and fierce father had a strange obsession with cleanliness and always asked for the toilet seat to be replaced when they stayed in a hotel. Over time, the young Hitomi mistakenly believed that hotels attached great importance to this service. It was not until she became a teacher at Chihaya Gakuen and Qingyou helped her correct her perception during a team-building trip.

There are many similar cognitive errors… Actually, it’s normal. Before gaining sufficient social experience, most people’s family education is inevitably distorted or inadequate. This is beyond reproach, but Qingyou thinks about it carefully, all the cognitive biases that always exist in lucid dreams, when combined, are actually very consistent with Shimamura Hitomi’s cognition.

It is not easy to make such a judgment. Qingyou needs to have a keen perception and a detailed understanding of Shimamura Hitomi’s spiritual world comparable to that of Shimamura Hitomi herself…

Unfortunately, Qingyou possesses both of these abilities.

A somewhat terrifying idea gradually emerged in his mind.

Could it be that the lucid dream turned out to be Xiaotong’s… Well, it seems a bit too outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem outrageous.

The ancients said that Stand users will attract each other. Qingyou thinks that people with super powers may also be attracted to each other.

“Hey…senior, what’s wrong?” Hitomi Shimamura found that Qingyou always looked at her from time to time with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

“It’s okay.” Qingyou suppressed the fear in his heart. After clearing away the fog, he realized that there was a very important issue that he had to pay attention to.

It seemed like he had already promised Hitomi Shimamura to elope in his dream?

hiss……

Hehehe, I must survive!
