Upon returning home, Lin Feng found Eula engrossed with her phone. As he approached, he noticed she was playing a game, seemingly "Knight's Quest."

Eula glanced up at Lin Feng and nonchalantly said, "Oh, you're back!"

Lin Feng placed the wrapped grilled steak on the table, smiling warmly. "Stop gaming; it's been out for ages now," he advised gently. "It'll get cold soon, and eating cold food isn't good for your health!"

Hearing this, Eula reluctantly turned off her phone. A hint of a smile appeared as she looked at the delicious, aromatic steak before her, but it quickly vanished when she saw Lin Feng watching her.

"Staring like that is against knightly etiquette!" Eula promptly reminded him, noticing his gaze fixed on her.

"Eula, don't move. Your arm is injured and bleeding!" Concerned, Lin Feng observed the wound on Eula's arm and moved closer to examine it carefully.

"This wound needs bandaging; we wouldn't want it to get infected tomorrow!" Lin Feng explained, immediately starting to search around for some gauze.

"It's...it's over there!" Eula, somewhat taken aback, pointed towards a cabinet while keeping her eyes on Lin Feng. It was unusual for her, since whenever she got hurt before, her parents would scold her for not training hard enough, showing little concern for her injuries.

Lin Feng swiftly walked over, opened the cabinet, and found various clothes inside. At the very bottom lay white gauze.

As Lin Feng picked up the gauze, he noticed black lace panties underneath, inadvertently grabbing them along with the bandages.

Eula's cheeks flushed slightly at this sight. She hastily rushed over and snatched both the gauze and panties from Lin Feng's hands.

She knelt down, placed the panties back in the wardrobe, and only then did the blush on her face begin to fade. Lin Feng stood frozen for a moment before slowly saying:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I had no idea there were... under the gauze."

"That's enough! You've earned my ire, yet again!" Eula swiftly interrupted Lin Feng. This was already the second time he'd seen her intimate garments; not to mention, he had also witnessed her completely naked near the snow-capped mountains...

Hearing Eula mention her grudge, Lin Feng felt somewhat relieved. After all, Eula was known for holding onto grievances without seeking revenge.

"Let me help you!" Lin Feng quickly moved next to Eula and took the gauze from her hand.

Seeing Eula's injured arm, his heart ached a bit. He gently cleaned the wound with fresh gauze and meticulously began wrapping it around her injury.

Soon, Lin Feng finished dressing the wound, even thoughtfully tying a butterfly bow.

Eula took a small bite of the grilled steak, finding it more delicious than any she had tasted before. Initially, she assumed Good Hunter's offerings would be unpalatable, but now she realized it seemed that way only when served to her.

After dinner, Eula went to take a bath. Lin Feng hastily reminded her, "Don't let the bandages get wet; it could lead to bacterial infection!"

"I know!" Although Eula wasn't familiar with bacteria, she nodded appreciatively at Lin Feng's concern.

Lin Feng planned to continue practicing his language skills with the system as he had done the previous day. However, upon accessing it this time, all he encountered was a robotic AI voice:

"Hello, esteemed host! For service inquiries, press 1; for loan services, press 2... For live assistance, press 0."

Did Lin Feng unintentionally drive the system to shut down or even suicide by overwhelming it yesterday? But considering the system's thick face, that seemed highly unlikely.

He selected option 0, but instead, the system repeated its automated message, "For service inquiries..."

Sighing, Lin Feng realized it indeed possessed the "excellent" traits of all customer service systems.

He quickly logged out and glanced towards the bathroom door, feeling a surge of excitement internally battling within himself.

"Don't be afraid, just go for it! At worst, you'll come back as a hero after twenty years. Besides, what if she likes you too?"

"Don't listen to him! A true gentleman should follow the path of righteousness and integrity. Such underhanded behavior is utterly unacceptable!"

"What do you know? Being a gentleman won't put food on the table, can it?"

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Eula emerged with her wet hair trailing behind her, still drying it with a towel.

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned by this sight. The scene before him was simply breathtaking, evoking a palpable sense of heart-pounding allure!

Eula noticed his gaze but said nothing. After all, there wasn't much to see; if he wanted to look, let him! In Mondstadt, people wouldn't even spare her a glance, often spitting and muttering about bad luck upon seeing her!

"I...I'm going for a shower too!" Lin Feng hastily rushed into the bathroom, fearing his impulse might lead to certain doom at Eula's hands.

Before Eula could stop him, he entered the restroom and immediately spotted a lace white underwear draped on the shelf.

Eula quickly knocked on the door, "Come out, my belongings are still inside!"

Hearing her words, Lin Feng reluctantly opened the door. Eula stepped in, her face flushed red, possibly due to the steamy atmosphere.

Standing close to Eula, Lin Feng couldn't help but notice her intoxicating scent, truly mesmerizing.

Eula gathered her changed clothes tightly against herself and swiftly ran out of the bathroom.

"Are you asleep?" Lin Feng cautiously asked from his spot on the floor.

"No!" Eula replied coldly, continuing to swipe her fingers across the phone screen.

"What are you doing?" Lin Feng observed Eula lying on the bed, her face illuminated by the soft glow of the screen, looking exceptionally serene and beautiful.

"Playing a game!" As she spoke, the knight character under her control promptly died.

"This game supports multiplayer mode. How about we play together? I'll help you complete it!" Lin Feng suggested, holding up his phone tentatively.

Eula misunderstood Lin Feng's intention; with such a small phone screen, how could they possibly play together?

"If you don't respond, I'll take that as a yes!" Seeing Eula's silence, Lin Feng prompted again.

"No way!" Eula's stance was firm. The etiquette of the Lawrence Clan was strict, prohibiting unmarried men and women from sharing the same bed!
