Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 167 New Sisters

After the club meeting, Yu Heng said that they would go to the newly rented villa for a thorough cleaning in the afternoon.

Then everyone gradually dispersed.

During the meeting, Zhou Mengqi kept glancing at Bai Xinran, who was sitting by the wall.

Yu Heng once said that these were her kind.

She had met this girl a few times before, and she still remembered her quite well from the villa party.

She now realized that Bai Xinran had brought something with her when she did squats.

---

At 2 p.m., the group arrived at the newly rented villa.

Yu Heng took out his key and opened the door, a smell of dust wafted out.

"This needs to be cleaned up properly," Wang Luyu said, covering her nose. "There's too much dust."

"Let's divide the work," Yu Heng said. "Living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor; bedrooms and study on the second floor."

Zhang Tingting looked around and said, "Luyu and I will clean up the kitchen."

"Okay," Yu Heng said, "then I'll take charge of the living room, and the others can make their own arrangements."

"Then I'll..." Zhou Mengqi immediately interjected, her gaze sweeping over Bai Xinran, "Xinran and I will clean the bedroom, shall we? Isn't there a guest bedroom downstairs?"

Bai Xinran was squatting on the ground unpacking the cleaning supplies she had brought when she heard this, she looked up and said, "Okay."

She didn't think much of it, figuring that it didn't matter who she worked with.

---

The guest room on the first floor was small, without even a bed, and the window was closed, with the glass covered in dust.

Bai Xinran went over and opened the window, while Zhou Mengqi picked up the rag she had brought.

"You're renting this place as an office?" Zhou Mengqi asked while wiping the headboard.

"Yes," Bai Xinran wrung out the mop, "that's what the president said."

"Do you usually stay in that villa?" Zhou Mengqi asked casually.

"Yes," Bai Xinran said, "I moved out, and Sister Yueling just moved out too."

Zhou Mengqi's hands moved a little slower: "Three people living together?"

"Hmm," Bai Xinran said, mopping the floor, "it's quite convenient."

Zhou Mengqi pursed her lips.

After wiping the headboard, she turned and leaned against the cabinet, looking at Bai Xinran.

Bai Xinran was bending over and dragging the bed, her T-shirt hem riding up a bit, revealing a small section of her waist.

She has fair skin and a very slim waist.

"How long have you known the club president?" Zhou Mengqi began.

Bai Xinran straightened up and thought for a moment: "It hasn't been long since school started, right? He asked me to do a live stream."

"Oh," Zhou Mengqi nodded, then changed the subject: "What are your hobbies?"

"Drawing," Bai Xinran said, "playing games."

"I also like playing video games," Zhou Mengqi said. "What kind of games?"

"There are some single-player games and some online co-op games," Bai Xinran said. "The club president sometimes takes us to play."

"Do you guys often hang out together?" Zhou Mengqi asked.

"Yeah," Bai Xinran said, "Since we live together, we can play a couple of games in the evenings when we have nothing to do."

"Is the club president good at playing games?" Zhou Mengqi asked.

"Not bad," Bai Xinran said. "He picks up everything quickly."

Zhou Mengqi hummed in agreement.

"You have a pretty slim waist," Zhou Mengqi said, watching her wiping the high glass with her legs up, revealing a glimpse of her waist. "Do you exercise regularly?"

Bai Xinran looked down at her waist: "It's alright, I can manage with jogging and stuff."

Just as Zhou Mengqi was about to ask something else, the door to the guest room was pushed open.

Yu Heng stood at the door, holding two bottles of water in his hands.

He glanced inside the room, then closed the door behind him.

"Are you chatting?" Yu Heng walked in and handed them water.

"Thank you, President." Zhou Mengqi took the water, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

Bai Xinran also took the water, but didn't drink it; she just held it in her hand.

Yu Heng took a few steps in the room and looked at the window that was half-wiped and the floor that was half-mopped.

Then he turned around, leaned against the windowsill, and looked at the two of them.

"Perfect timing," Yu Heng said, "Let me formally introduce you two."

Yu Heng leaned against the windowsill and placed the water bottle on the windowsill next to him.

"Zhou Mengqi," he said, looking at Zhou Mengqi, "my first subordinate."

"First," Zhou Mengqi repeated the word in her mind.

There's a subtle feeling, I can't quite put my finger on whether it's pride or something else.

"Bai Xinran," Yu Heng turned to Bai Xinran, "is also my subordinate, you can just call her Aling."

Bai Xinran nodded, showing little reaction to the introduction.

That night, Yu Heng went to Zhou Mengqi's place to spend the night, and she knew that their relationship was unusual, but she really didn't expect that Zhou Mengqi would be Yu Heng's first "substitute".

"Ah Ling," she called out, "Hello!"

"Mm," Bai Xinran replied, glancing at Zhou Mengqi and then at Yu Heng. "Master, what about us from now on?"

"We're like sisters now," Yu Heng said. "If anything happens to you in the future, you should look out for each other."

Looking out for each other?

Zhou Mengqi pondered what to say.

Does it mean they should get along better?

Or is it that we can do things together in the future?

She didn't care, but she didn't know if Bai Xinran would be willing.

"I understand," Bai Xinran said with a smile. "Sister Mengqi."

Zhou Mengqi is a little older than her, so it's appropriate for her to call her that.

Yu Heng went out, and Bai Xinran picked up the mop again and continued mopping the floor.

Zhou Mengqi unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, her eyes fixed on Bai Xinran's bending-over motion.

Her movements were quite skilled; it seems she does this kind of work often.

That's true. Living with Yu Heng, I have to do some housework.

I wonder how the club president usually manages them, and whether there are any rules.

"Ah Ling," Zhou Mengqi began, "Does Master... usually have any requirements for you?"

Bai Xinran straightened up and rinsed the mop in the bucket of water.

"Requirements?" She thought for a moment, "It doesn't seem like there are any special requirements."

Bai Xinran narrowed her eyes. She asked this because she wanted to know her master's discipline methods.

Still want to compare? The first one is inferior...

This statement made her feel a little jealous.

Although she accepted this sister who suddenly appeared, she still felt somewhat distant from her compared to familiar people like Shen Yueling and Ning Yutong.

"Oh," Zhou Mengqi nodded, "What about daily life? Like your schedule and stuff."

"Sleep schedule?" Bai Xinran wrung out the mop. "My master goes to bed early, so I usually go to bed early too. If he doesn't have class in the morning, he goes to bed a little later."

Zhou Mengqi pursed her lips. Staying up late... what do you do? It must be those kinds of things.

"Master has so much energy," Zhou Mengqi smiled. "Sometimes I can't even keep up."

Bai Xinran glanced at her but didn't reply, feeling even more jealous.

You haven't even tried it yourself yet?

After mopping the floor, she went to the window and started wiping the window frame.

Zhou Mengqi also went over and picked up another rag to wipe another window.

The two people stood side by side, with a distance of more than a meter between them.

"Sister Mengqi," Bai Xinran suddenly spoke, "Have you... been with anyone else before?"

Zhou Mengqi paused for a moment, then asked what this meant.

Are they testing my experience? Or confirming my location?

Yu Heng said I was the first one to step down...

She also wanted to know if Yu Heng was the only one for me?

"No," Zhou Mengqi said, "just the master."

"Oh," Bai Xinran replied, "Me too."

The sound of Zhang Tingting and Wang Luyu talking could be heard from outside the window, and one could vaguely hear that they were running out of dish soap.

"They cleaned pretty quickly," Zhou Mengqi said. "Our room is almost done too."

"Hmm," Bai Xinran said, "all that's left is glass."
