"it is good!"

Su Chang led Xiao Ming to the bathroom in Xiao Ming's room. Because she didn't expect Xiao Ming to react so quickly, she didn't suggest turning on the hot water. She just quickly filled the bathtub with hot water. Xiao Ming started taking off his clothes by himself. He had developed this habit in the nursing home. Su Chang didn't stop him. After all, she could see that his body was also warm, and the heating in the bathroom was on, so she didn't have to worry about him catching a cold.

When the water in the bathtub was about two-thirds full, Su Chang had Xiao Ming sit in. Xiao Ming carefully sat in, and Su Chang carefully scrubbed Xiao Ming's hands while asking him if he felt uncomfortable. Even though Xiao Ming didn't answer much, Su Chang could tell that he didn't mind Su Chang touching him. Su Chang also took the opportunity to check Xiao Ming's pulse while scrubbing his hands.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Xiaoming's Recovery

He didn't know what Xiaoming's pulse was like before, but he could feel that Xiaoming's brain pulse was still somewhat disordered, but it was slowly repairing itself. He breathed a sigh of relief and marveled at how the system's products were always top-notch; it could cure any disease.

As Su Chang was giving Xiao Ming a bath, he secretly wondered, "Should I also treat Lu Yuan and Grandma Peng Jiahe? That way, Peng Jiahe won't be so pitiful, and she'll have a normal person by her side." He frowned and fell into deep thought.

However, he quickly shook his head and abandoned the idea. Andy was right; it was best to use this kind of drug sparingly, as it would be troublesome if it were discovered. Thinking of this, a helpless look appeared on Su Chang's face.

He continued to focus on scrubbing Xiaoming's back, occasionally giving him a sip of water. An hour and a half later, Xiaoming's body stopped detoxifying, and Su Chang was overjoyed. He quickly checked Xiaoming's pulse again. To his surprise, he found that Xiaoming's pulse in his brain had actually calmed down!

Su Chang's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise. He thought to himself, "Great! It seems that Xiao Ming will be able to recover in a couple of days. That's much better than Chen Nanxing!" His lips unconsciously curled up, revealing a relieved smile.

At the same time, Su Chang discovered another use for his indestructible body: scrubbing. Xu Hongdou had been scrubbing Chen Nanxing until he was half dead, and had to stop and start, while Su Chang had been scrubbing for an hour and a half without feeling tired at all.

Two weeks later, on a sunny weekend afternoon, everyone was enjoying a barbecue on the lawn to celebrate Chen Nanxing and Xiaoming's noticeable improvement. Suddenly, Xiaoming walked up to Andy and stared at her without saying a word, which startled her.

Andy's face instantly showed surprise. She stared wide-eyed at Xiaoming, her mind filled with confusion. She quickly asked, "Xiaoming, what's wrong? Don't scare your sister." Xiaoming didn't answer, still looking at her with a hint of bewilderment and uncertainty in his eyes.

Su Chang seemed to realize something; a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly gestured for Andy to be quiet. Although Andy was somewhat puzzled, he still complied with Su Chang's request, quietly watching Xiaoming, his heart pounding with anxiety as he awaited Xiaoming's answer.

Everyone's attention was drawn to this sudden scene. They didn't know what had happened, so they could only look at Xiaoming with expressions of curiosity and concern.

Xiao Ming hesitated for a long time; his lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to find the right words. Finally, he spoke to Andy, "Are you the older sister?"

Andy was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, then a joyful smile bloomed on her face. Her eyes glistened with tears of emotion, and she gripped Xiaoming's arm tightly with both hands, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Xiaoming, you remember your sister, right? I am your sister, He Manchun!"

Su Chang was taken aback when he heard the name, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He hadn't expected Andy's original name to be so down-to-earth, carrying a strong rural flavor, just like his own. However, he didn't laugh, because he dared not laugh at this moment; it would be inappropriate, and he was mainly afraid of getting beaten up.

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing also showed surprised expressions, clearly wanting to laugh but not daring to.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Xiaoming's gaze revealed endless grievances and longing. His voice trembled as he replied, "You look a lot like my sister, but you've grown up so much. Didn't you say you'd come to pick me up soon? Why are you only coming to find me now?"

Andy's tears flowed like a burst dam. She hugged Xiaoming tightly, her voice choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, Xiaoming, I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of you."

Andy was filled with guilt and self-blame. She hugged Xiaoming tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all the longing and pain she had endured over the years, as if she was afraid that if she let go, Xiaoming would disappear again.

Xiao Ming just kept crying, his body trembling slightly, as if trying to release the emotions that had been building up inside him for a long time. However, gradually, his crying subsided, and his emotions gradually calmed down. He glanced at Su Chang and the other two with a hint of shyness, a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

A relieved smile appeared on Andy's face. She gently stroked Xiaoming's hair, but being a woman of few words, she didn't know what to say.

Su Chang had no choice but to quickly interject to break the awkward atmosphere: "Xiao Ming, what do you want to do in the future? Don't worry about anything else, just do what you like."

Xiao Ming was silent for a moment, then looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He looked at Andy, then at Su Chang, and finally whispered, "I don't know what to do either."

Andy remembered his younger brother's talent for numbers when he was little, so he suggested, "Why don't you study finance like me? After all, you were very interested in numbers when you were young, so studying finance might be a good career path. I can also mentor you while I'm at it."

Su Chang frowned, shook her head, and thought to herself: Xiao Ming has been living aimlessly for over twenty years. There's no need for him to go back to the financial world; it's too chaotic there, and he's fallen far behind in his fundamentals. She then said, "I think Xiao Ming can continue learning to paint. He's been painting for so many years; he should really enjoy it."

After listening to Andy and Su Chang's words, Xiao Ming thought for a while, then looked at Andy and Su Chang with a determined look in his eyes. He said, "Sister, Brother Su Chang, I want to learn to draw."

“Okay, as long as you like it.” Andy smiled and nodded, indicating her support for Xiaoming’s choice. She thought to herself that as long as Xiaoming was willing, she would fully support him in pursuing his dreams.

Su Chang smiled and said, "Then go and learn. I'll take you to a professional teacher first and plan your studies. After all, you need to learn systematically."

Xiao Ming nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination as he agreed. Then, with a grateful expression, he said to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, "Sister Nanxing, Sister Hongdou, thank you for taking care of me these past few days."

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing responded with smiles, "Don't mention it, we didn't really help you much."

Then, Xiaoming turned to look at Su Chang, his eyes full of sincerity, and said, "Brother Su Chang, I really owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done."

Su Chang waved her hand, looking indifferent, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, we're all friends, just take care of yourself."

Andy then said to Su Chang, "Su Chang, I'm thinking of taking Xiaoming back to Ode to Joy. What do you think?"

Su Chang thought to himself, "Once I win over Xu Hongdou and Andy, this place might become my harem gathering place. After all, it's so big here, it's really inconvenient for Xiaoming to live here."

He nodded and said, "Okay, that's fine too. It'll be more convenient for you to live near Joyful Song." As he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Su Chang thought to herself, "I still haven't won over Guan Guan and Andy in Ode to Joy. I need to speed things up. Although there's some ambiguity with Guan Guan and they exchange messages occasionally, there's not much progress. I need to find a way to break through."

Then Chen Nanxing said softly, "I need to go to the hospital with Xu Hongdou for a check-up next Monday, otherwise my parents will be worried."

Su Chang nodded quickly, indicating his understanding: "No problem. What are your plans after the check-up?" He had a gentle smile on his face.

Chen Nanxing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "I need to go back to Kyoto. After all, no matter how much I say, nothing puts my parents at ease until they see it for themselves."

Everyone agreed, feeling it was the right thing to do. Then, all eyes turned to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou sat quietly, a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and uncertainty. She said softly, "I'll accompany Chen Nanxing back to Kyoto first, and I haven't made any plans for what happens after that."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chang's eyes. He quickly said, "I own a guesthouse called 'Qixinge,' and we happen to be short of a manager. If possible, I would like to ask you to come and help." His voice was full of expectation, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou didn't answer immediately. She just stared at Su Chang for a while, thinking to herself. Her expression was hesitant, as if she was weighing something.

Finally, Xu Hongdou slowly said, "I will consider it, but I need to accompany Chen Nanxing (Li Zhao's) back to Kyoto first."

Although Su Chang felt a little disappointed, he didn't show it. He just smiled and said, "Okay, then think it over carefully. I believe you will make the right decision."

Su Chang was thinking to himself: Xu Hongdou, you, my fairy sister, will eventually belong to me. Even if you don't come back, I will still go and bring you back.

That evening, Su Chang finished showering in his room and was just about to go to sleep when he heard a soft knock at the door. Su Chang wondered who could be coming so late. He walked to the door, opened it, and was surprised to see Andy standing there.

"Andy, is something the matter?"

Andy's eyes revealed a hint of unease, and Su Chang wondered if it was just her imagination, but there was even a touch of shyness in them. She said softly, "Su Chang, I can't sleep. Do you have time to go for a walk with me?"

Looking at Andy's expression, Su Chang felt a surge of excitement. He smiled and replied, "Of course, no problem. Wait for me downstairs for a moment, I'll change my clothes and come down right away."

Andy nodded and went downstairs, while Su Chang quickly changed his clothes and hurried downstairs. He and Andy drove away from the villa together, unaware that a figure had been silently observing them from a corner.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Xu Hongdou Left

After leaving the villa, Su Chang asked Andy as he drove, "Where do you want to go?"

Andy thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I want to go to a bar. I've never been to one before, and I'd like to experience it. Is that okay?"

Su Chang smiled and replied, "No problem, I'll go with you wherever you want to go tonight."

Soon, they arrived at TX Bar, where Su Chang first met Jiang Lai. As soon as Andy entered the bar, she was momentarily stunned by the noisy commotion. A look of discomfort crossed her face, but she still forced herself to go in and followed closely behind Su Chang. After all, she had to see the path she had chosen through, even if she had to crawl on her knees.

Su Chang noticed Andy's nervousness and gently patted Andy's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't be nervous, you'll get used to it."

Andy looked at Su Chang and nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

Su Chang asked the bartender to reserve a corner booth, just in case Andy wasn't comfortable. Then he led Andy to sit down and ordered some drinks, but of course, he wouldn't order the Dragon Set.

Andy looked around curiously at the diverse crowd in the bar, her heart filled with wonder. After all, a group of people shouting and dancing wildly was quite a novelty for the homebody Andy. Su Chang, on the other hand, sat quietly to the side, watching Andy's expression and feeling a sense of helplessness. How out of touch with society was this woman? Although he hadn't been to bars many times either, he had watched countless videos in his past life and had seen it all.

With Su Chang by her side, Andy gradually relaxed. She started drinking with Su Chang. After all, chatting is a different story. To be honest, only a fool would want to chat in a high bar. It's basically shouting at the top of your lungs. Whether anyone can hear you is uncertain, but it will definitely ruin your voice.

Having drunk an unknown amount, Andy was no longer content with simply drinking. Holding Su Chang's hand, he staggered towards the central stage.

Su Chang felt a little apprehensive. In his entire life, apart from dancing the waltz in school, he had never danced in such a setting. But when he thought about his promise to accompany Andy in her revelry, he gritted his teeth and followed her.

The bar lights flickered, the music was deafening, and the crowd around them swayed and twisted. Those who knew, knew; the dancing in bars was basically just wild, chaotic flailing. Su Chang tried hard to recall the old-fashioned disco dance moves he'd seen on a Korean variety show in his past life, and then, oblivious to everyone else, he started dancing with Andy. After all, while old-fashioned disco might lack a bit of glamour, its strength lay in its simplicity; as long as you weren't completely uncoordinated, you could basically learn it in no time. His movements, though a little clumsy, were full of rhythm. Andy was also infected by Su Chang's enthusiasm, swaying along with him. Finally, caught up in the atmosphere, Su Chang started dancing the "burden dance" (a signature move of the comedic character in the Korean variety show Love Letter).

After dancing for a while, Andy felt a little tired, so she pulled Su Chang back to the booth. Although she was sweating a lot, her face was full of excitement, something Su Chang had never seen before. Su Chang had no choice but to take out a tissue to wipe the sweat from Andy's forehead. Although Andy blushed, she did not refuse, her eyes full of affection.

Around midnight, Andy pulled Su Chang away from the bar.

Outside the bar, Su Chang was about to call a designated driver when Andy suddenly grabbed his arm. Su Chang looked at Andy with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.

Andy pointed to the hotel across the street and said shyly, "Let's not go back tonight, let's stay out here for the night." As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

Su Chang felt a surge of excitement, but he suppressed his joy and said seriously, "Have you thought this through? I am a bit of a womanizer. But I promise, as long as you're with me, I will treat you all well." Although Su Chang aspired to have a harem, he still needed to make things clear first; he couldn't just be interested in sex without any emotional connection.

Andy looked at Su Chang, her eyes revealing determination and trust. She gently bit her lip and finally said, "I know, but right now I just want to stay by your side, and it seems I've gotten used to having you as my support."

Upon hearing Andy's words, Su Chang felt a surge of intense emotion. He pulled Andy into a tight embrace and lowered his head to kiss her. Andy's lips trembled slightly, clearly still a little inexperienced with the kiss, her first kiss still fresh in her mind, but her eyes were filled with devotion and longing.

Su Chang sensed Andy's awkwardness and felt a pang of tenderness, yet he also enjoyed the sweetness of the moment. However, when Andy suddenly bit him during their kiss, he initially thought she was scolding him. But seeing her absorbed expression, he realized she simply didn't know how to kiss. He could only suppress his frustration and gently guide her. When Andy was a little out of breath, they slowly separated.

Andy nestled in Su Chang's arms, breathing heavily, a shy blush rising on her face. She whispered, "Su Chang, let's go to a hotel. It's not good to be out here." Although the alcohol had emboldened her, her deep-seated conservatism still made her somewhat uneasy and shy; after all, she wasn't that enchanting Qu Xiaoxiao.

Without hesitation, Su Chang took Andy's hand and headed towards the hotel across the street. He urged the front desk to book a presidential suite, thinking that Andy's first time should be given the best environment. The two took their room keys, asked for their floor, and rushed to the elevator.

The receptionist watched their hurried departure and shook her head helplessly, thinking that this handsome guy was too impatient. She had originally planned to have someone take them to their room.

Su Chang and Andy arrived at the floor, where a floor attendant was already waiting for them. As the attendant led them to their room, just as she was about to say something, Su Chang pulled out several Red Bulls and stuffed them into her hand, urging her to leave quickly. The attendant thanked her and left.

Su Chang opened the door, inserted the room card, and closed the door. The two then kissed passionately once again.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, as if trying to merge the other into their own. Andy's face was filled with a happy and content smile, while Su Chang's eyes were full of tenderness and love.

As their clothes were removed, their breathing became increasingly rapid. Su Chang was filled with anticipation and nervousness, while Andy gradually let go of her reserve amidst her shyness.

The next morning, Andy was awakened by her biological clock. She tried to move her body, but a sharp pain came over her like a tidal wave, making her instantly afraid to move.

"Hiss!" Andy couldn't help but frown slightly and groan softly, a sound that woke up Su Chang next to him.

Su Chang looked at Andy sleepily, instinctively tightened her grip on Andy's arm, then gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "Don't move, rest for a bit."

A blush crept across Andy's face, but she still rolled her eyes in annoyance, then pinched Su Chang and scolded, "Isn't all of this your fault!"

Fortunately, Su Chang possessed an indestructible body; otherwise, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw technique, which was in these women's genes, would have caused him excruciating pain. Feeling somewhat helpless, he muttered to himself, "No matter how rational a woman is, she will have such an unreasonable side after being together. This pinching tactic is something women are born with, isn't it?"

He thought about how Andy had told him not to stop last night, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't dare say it aloud, afraid of upsetting Andy even more. So he quickly apologized and said, "It's all my fault. You get some rest, I'll go prepare breakfast."

Su Chang dared not stay in bed any longer. He knew that a thirty-year-old woman, fresh from her first sexual experience, possessed a charm that no man could resist. He immediately called the front desk to bring two breakfasts, along with a bowl of brown sugar water and black chicken soup. Moreover, Andy had just lost her virginity, and he felt embarrassed to continue "whipping" her; if he left her with psychological trauma, his future sexual happiness would be in jeopardy. He hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the cold water wash away the heat from his body.

After showering, Su Chang filled the bathtub with hot water, then returned to the bedroom and carefully picked up Andy so she could take a bath. Andy looked at Su Chang's somewhat dazed expression, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She thought to herself, "Heh! Find a younger man, I'll be your sweetheart."

If Su Chang knew what Andy was thinking, Su Chang would definitely assert her authority as husband and ask her brother where he was being mistreated.

As Su Chang's gaze was drawn to Andy's captivating charm and her desire swelled once more, the doorbell suddenly rang. Startled, Su Chang guessed it was the waiter bringing the food and rushed out.

Seeing Su Chang's embarrassed state, Andy couldn't help but chuckle. He then continued to enjoy the comfort of his bath, feeling both happy and embarrassed about last night's absurdity, since he had been too proactive.

After breakfast, Andy was worried about Xiaoming. Although Su Chang kept reminding her that Xiaoming had recovered and that someone was taking care of him at the villa, Andy was still uneasy and urged Su Chang to stop being affectionate and hurry back to the villa. Su Chang cursed Xiaoming in her heart, thinking that she had to get rid of this "bathroom heater" as soon as possible, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to have any affectionate moments with him, which would ruin her family harmony. She felt terrible.

The two returned to the villa, where only Xiaoming was having breakfast in the dining room. Su Chang assumed Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were still asleep, so she didn't pay much attention.

Seeing Su Chang return, Xiao Ming swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Brother Su Chang, Sister Hongdou and Sister Nanxing left early this morning with their luggage."
