When Luo XiaoLou returned home, he was dismayed to find that the living room that had been waiting for him to clean up was now clean. The big boxes seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and Yuan Xi was nowhere to be found. Luo XiaoLou blinked and walked quickly towards his own room, then froze in front of the guest room.

Technically speaking, this wasn't a guest room anymore.The king-size bed had been put away in the closet, and there was nothing else in the entire room except for the neatly arranged boxes. And because the boxes took up so much space, it was difficult to walk in. No doubt it was Yuan Xi who had organized them. It was rare that he finally knew how to do some housework — but couldn't he have just stacked the boxes instead?

Luo XiaoLou groaned, the bastard was actually trying to keep him out of the room, right?! Well now, there was completely no space in the room.

Well, he should have expected Yuan Xi to do this. Luo XiaoLou turned and headed for the kitchen. If it was still early enough after he finished cleaning up tonight, there might still be time to set up his lab.

Materials, mecha parts, the lab... The very thought that he was on his way to creating a mecha made Luo XiaoLou so happy that even the matter of having a bad-tempered co-habitant didn't affect him. Of course, aside from that damned slave contract — he had never felt the threat of that contract again except for the first time, but judging by the frequency of Yuan Xi's recent bad temper, maybe he'd feel it soon — it wasn't really any good at all.

At least, Yuan Xi now knew to turn in his living expenses. Even though Luo XiaoLou had to help him with meals and clothes every day, tidy his room and bathroom and occasionally light as a masseuse or something, it became clear over time that Yuan Xi wasn't difficult to live with. Although sometimes a little violent and bad-tempered, as long as Luo XiaoLou did what he said, he would not have any major problems. Just like an awkward child, it was better off just petting him smoothly.

While thinking about this, Luo XiaoLou selectively forgot how he had spat out Yuan Xi internally when he was being bullied. The other thing Luo XiaoLou had to admit was that Yuan Xi had helped him relieve a large part of the panic and stress, or what could be called loneliness of some sort, of his newfound unfamiliar world in the future — whether it was through his bullying or his awkwardness.

If he could get out of that slave contract in the future, he'd really like to have Yuan Xi as a friend...

Just as Luo XiaoLou was about to reflect on whether or not he had been too lenient with Yuan Xi, trying to sum up the guy's innumerable faults, Yuan Xi returned.

Quickly throwing away the Yuan Xi in his heart, who was kneeling at his feet and waiting to be convicted by him, Luo XiaoLou said with great gentleness, "Back? Just a moment, dinner will be ready in a moment."

Responding, Yuan Xi neither waited for dinner on the couch nor supervised at the kitchen door this time, but padded slowly into the kitchen.

Hey, even if the kitchen is big, you're just in the way if you come in! And what are you doing with all this beating around the bush!

Luo XiaoLou inexplicably continued to prepare dinner, scanning Yuan Xi's face as he secretly thought about whether he had done anything throughout the day that had made Yuan Xi angry: dinner, part-time job, meeting Ling Xu — Ling Xu?

Was he mad because of Ling Xu? But he couldn't be blamed for running into Ling Xu halfway around the world! God knows, he didn't want to meet that self-righteous man at all.
