Zhao Guo'an ultimately rejected Fujiwara Keiaki's proposal to pick up soap together, and after that, his caution towards Fujiwara Keiaki turned into outright rejection, as he kept his distance for fear of being noticed.

"Old Zhao, I didn't expect you to have such a great attraction in this regard." Xiao Feng said, trying hard to suppress his laughter, "Tell me honestly, when you were learning from your master, did your master often bathe you? Or make you soak in medicinal baths while watching from the side."

Zhao Guo'an's gaze sharpened, a chill rose from the depths of his heart, instantly spreading throughout his body, a feeling of after-fear because Xiao Feng actually guessed right.

In fact, Zhao Guo'an became an apprentice at five; he was physically weak in childhood with much poorer immunity than his peers. If he hadn't been born into a family of medicine, he probably would have lost his life early on.

Thus, his master began preparing medicinal baths for him to soak in, spending a great effort before adjusting his immune level to that of a normal person.

This kindness, Zhao Guo'an keeps in his heart at all times, never daring to forget, because a basic sense of gratitude is necessary and one shouldn't take others' kindness for granted.

However, at this moment, all kindness and selflessness are distorted by Xiao Feng's words.

Is he really fatally attractive to older men?

Zhao Guo'an dared not think further because the more he thought, the more he felt his lower-middle body tense up, with cold sweat trickling down his back.

...

At noon, two drivers changed shifts again, one said, "Off the highway, there's about three hours left."

Everyone exchanged glances and became vigilant; based on past experience, Devil's Concentration Camp wouldn't miss this opportunity, if they were to act, it would be in these three hours.

But unexpectedly, there was smooth sailing all the way until they got off the bus, without even encountering a traffic jam, leaving everyone surprised.

The bus stopped at the parking lot of the travel company's branch, which offers guide services, but since Xiao Feng and others weren't there for tourism, they didn't choose this service.

At this moment, the western sky blazed red, and everyone walked down the street with their luggage, looking at the antique buildings that gave off a feeling of time travel.

Street vendors dressed in ancient attire hawked energetically on both sides, even performers stood at intersections, lively and bustling, making it feel like a utopia.

Of course, it would feel more atmospheric if there weren't payment codes in front of stalls and tourists in modern clothes on the streets.

"Big brother, big sister, are you here for tourism?"

Just then, a childish voice emerged.

Xiao Feng and others turned to see a boy and girl, about five or six years old, both dressed in Hanfu, with smiling faces, unafraid.

"So cute." the little girl pinched the girl's cheek, "We are here for tourism. Call me sister, and I'll buy you candied haws."

"No need." The girl shook her head and pointed at a nearby vendor in ancient attire, carrying a candied haw stack, "The candied haws weren't made today, eating them will cause a stomach ache."

"Oh, then I won't eat it either." The little girl said disinterestedly.

Everyone had a black line on their forehead; her true intentions were revealed, clearly wanting it but afraid Xiao Feng would stop her, right?

Then the boy spoke, "Big brother, big sister, if you want a place to stay, we can take you; our family runs an inn. It's not yet peak tourist season, we can offer you a discount."

Xiao Feng and the others were amazed; this marketing strategy was much better than those big sisters and aunts pulling people on the street. At least in terms of appearance, the two cute, fairy-like children were much harder to refuse.

The little girl also said, "My dad used to be a chef at a five-star hotel, he's quite skilled. Even if you don't stay, you can try my dad's cooking."

Xiao Feng smiled and agreed, "Alright, lead the way."

No choice, they kept calling them big brother and big sister; not staying might be negotiable, but surely eating is fine, right?

Watching the two kids bounce ahead leading the way, Xiao Feng and the others had an inexplicable feeling; sometime ago, we too were so carefree...

However, as everyone was reminiscing, an unpleasant voice appeared.

"People, sometimes they just ask for it.

When we're kids, we long to grow up quickly, thinking adults won't control us once we do, but after truly growing up, we start missing childhood, just like the logic of young girls wearing makeup.

Teenagers dress themselves maturely, but thirty-something married women desperately act youthful to look younger; truly ironic." Zhao Guo'an said in a tone of deep sigh.

"Don't you think your words ruin the mood?" The little girl rolled her eyes.

"How do they ruin the mood?" Zhao Guo'an looked bewildered, this is really twisted, right? Can't I say anything? Whatever I say gets rebutted, does that mean I can't live?

"According to your logic, isn't someone naked even more ironic?" The little girl said crossly.

At that moment, Zhao Guo'an couldn't stand it, "You siblings have a problem with me, is that it? Wasn't what I said the truth? Also, those words didn't offend you."

"Who said you didn't offend me?" The little girl retorted defiantly, "You mentioned teenagers just now, I'm a teen, so is Xuanxuan, which of us wear makeup?"

"Then that's even more not right, I talked about teenagers dressing maturely, you two don't belong to that group, why take it personally?" Zhao Guo'an said surprisingly.

"Any case of generalizing is wrong; for argument's sake, just because you were photographed naked doesn't mean all men in the world are like you, right?" The little girl shook her head.

Zhao Guo'an almost collapsed; this is really one mistake leading to lasting regret, huh? Can this black history never be erased?

What he didn't realize was that what truly bothered the little girl, besides his attitude, was that phrase "you siblings."

The little girl dislikes anyone referring to her and her brother Xiao Feng as siblings, humph, no way!
