Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

49: A scene I’ll never forget!He looked down and smelled himself.

He was covered in the smell of sweat.

He had been too engrossed in his boxing earlier.

Although sweat was a symbol of masculinity, he couldn’t possibly go to sleep on her brand new sheets and duvet covers while covered in sweat, could he?

That would be too impolite.

He walked out of the gym, which was comparable to an Avengers training facility.

Following Sera’s earlier instructions, he found the guest room at the end of the corridor.

The door was not closed.

Sera was busy inside.

She was kneeling on the soft wool carpet, laying out a brand new goose-gray sheet.

Her movements were careful and focused.

The graceful curves outlined by her tight yoga outfit looked particularly alluring under the soft light.

Zhang Ze gently knocked on the doorframe.

”Knock, knock.”

Sera turned her head, and seeing him, her face immediately broke into a smile.

”You’re here!”

”Look, do you like the color of this sheet?”

”It’s Egyptian long-staple cotton, 800-thread count. It’s very comfortable to sleep on.”

Zhang Ze: ”...”

He no longer wanted to complain about these luxury terms he had never even heard of.

Right now, he just wanted to solve a more practical problem.

”Um, Sera.”

”Does your house... have a place where I can take a shower?”

”Pfft.”

Sera was amused by his question.

”Of course, it does!”

”This guest room comes with its own private bathroom.”

She pointed to a frosted glass door on the inner side of the room.

”The toiletries inside are all brand new, the Hermès Terre d’Hermès line. You should like the scent.”

Zhang Ze’s mouth twitched again.

Great.

He had never used such high-end toiletries in his life.

Tonight was certainly an eye-opener.

”There’s one more thing.”

Zhang Ze’s expression became subtle.

He scratched his head and asked in a probing tone, ”I... didn’t bring a change of clothes.”

”You probably don’t have men’s pajamas here, do you?”

After speaking, he intently watched Sera’s reaction.

In his anticipation, Sera might pause, then apologize and say no.

Or, she might playfully pull out one of her own, obviously much smaller, nightgowns and make a joke.

However.

Sera’s answer completely exceeded his expectations.

She didn’t hesitate for even a second.

”Yes, I do!”

She answered swiftly, as if it were the most natural thing.

The smile on Zhang Ze’s face froze.

She did?

She did?!

Why would she have men’s clothes in her house?

Countless possibilities flashed through Zhang Ze’s mind instantly.

Melodramatic soap opera plots played out wildly in his head.

Could it be... she has a boyfriend?

No, if she has a boyfriend, why is she flirting with me like this?

Then... did an ex-boyfriend leave them behind?

That doesn’t make sense either; in a villa this big, wouldn’t keeping an ex-boyfriend’s stuff be awkward?

Could it be... Zhang Ze’s gaze became wary.

He recalled Sera’s mysterious family that ”runs a small business.”

He remembered the folder she called ”Homework.”

A bold and preposterous idea surfaced.

Could her family’s ”small business” be keeping several ”male students” specifically to film ”family homework”?

And he was the new ”tutor” she had set her sights on?

Holy crap!

This plot is way too thrilling!

Watching the ever-changing, spectacular expression on Zhang Ze’s face, Sera paused for a moment.

Then, she cleverly figured it out.

Her small face instantly flushed crimson.

”No, no, no! It’s not what you think!”

She frantically waved her hands, so anxious she was practically jumping.

”Those clothes are new!”

”They are all brand new! No one has ever worn them!”

Zhang Ze raised an eyebrow, looking at her with feigned suspicion.

”Oh? New?”

”How would you... have men’s clothes prepared beforehand?”

This question hit the nail on the head.

Sera’s eyes started to dart away.

”I... I...”

She stammered for a long time.

Finally, as if bracing herself, she took the plunge.

”I bought them this morning!”

Zhang Ze: ”???”

What the heck?

This morning... she bought them this morning?

An unbelievable conclusion formed in his mind.

In other words... this morning, while he was still sleeping in his rental apartment, this blonde Miss had already driven her sports car to a luxury store and purchased the change of clothes prepared for him?

From pajamas, to underwear, to a T-shirt for the next day?

From the moment she invited him to dinner, had she already meticulously planned every single step of this evening?

From dinner, to red wine, to the post-meal movie.

Had she even anticipated that he would sweat after boxing and need a shower and a change of clothes?

This...

”You... you...”

Zhang Ze stammered for a long time, finally letting out a helpless sigh.

”You truly are something else.”

Seeing that he wasn’t angry, but rather wore a defeated, resigned expression, Sera grew bolder.

She stepped forward and opened the door to the huge walk-in closet in the guest room.

Inside, a row of brand new men’s clothing hung neatly.

Everything was there: from casual T-shirts and hoodies, to comfortable loungewear, and even... hanging deepest inside, Armani underwear with the tags still attached.

”I... I didn’t know what brand you like, and I didn’t know your size,” Sera explained softly, lowering her head.

”So... I just asked the sales clerk to get one of every style and every size.”

Zhang Ze: ”...”

He was already numb.

Is this how rich women shop?

Simple and brutal.

What more could he say?

He stepped forward and casually picked up a set of dark gray cotton loungewear from the pile of clothes.

He also picked up the pair of underwear with the tag still uncut.

”Thanks.”

He turned and gave Sera a meaningful smile.

”Teacher Sera.”

”You prepared... very thoroughly for this class.”

Sera’s cheeks flushed hot again.

She didn’t dare look into Zhang Ze’s eyes, turning and running out.

”You... you hurry up and take your shower!”

”I... I also worked up a bit of a sweat, so I’m going to take a shower too.”

Splash—Warm water poured down from the huge showerhead overhead.

Zhang Ze closed his eyes, feeling the water wash away the fatigue from his body.

He picked up the legendary bottle of Hermès Terre d’Hermès shower gel.

He smelled it.

Hmm, the smell of money.

After finishing his shower, he changed into the dark gray cotton loungewear Sera had prepared for him.

It was soft, gentle on the skin, and the size was perfect.

He pulled the corner of his mouth up at his reflection in the mirror.

He walked out of the bathroom.

The guest room was huge, and the expensive-looking large bed seemed to beckon him.

After a long day, he was genuinely tired.

Just as he was about to jump onto the bed for a good night’s sleep.

”Mm... hmph...”

A strange sound faintly drifted from next door.

Zhang Ze’s movements stopped.

Next door?

Isn’t that Sera’s room?

He frowned.

What was she doing up so late, instead of sleeping?

He listened carefully again.

”Buzz... buzz...”

It sounded like something vibrating.

Immediately followed by a few frustrated groans.

”Ah... this is so annoying...”

It was Sera’s voice.

She sounded like she was running into some trouble.

Zhang Ze’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

He walked to the door and gently opened it a crack.

The corridor lights were dim, and it was silent.

Only the door to Sera’s room was slightly ajar, letting out a sliver of light.

He tiptoed over.

He stopped at the doorway, not rashly going inside.

Instead, he pressed his eye against the crack in the door.

Looking inside.

That single glance showed him a scene he would never forget...
