Chapter 112: You are in me

Friday after school.

Shen Xiyan took Wenwen to the hospital to visit Auntie, accompanied by Lin Ci’s family.

Because of Qin Sheng’s insistence, they didn’t run into anyone.

They had promised to help Auntie “uphold justice,” but in the end, they didn’t really tattle.

Saturday.

The three of them huddled in the room, furiously working on their homework, all eager for tomorrow’s outing.

Even Lin Ci turned into an emotionless homework-copying machine.

Doing the work herself was impossible—those dozen-plus worksheets couldn’t be finished within 24 hours.

Cheat sheets made it bearable.

Just sprinkle some water~~

Weekend.

Outside, the rustling sounds began early; the older generation had the habit of taking a stroll before the sun even rose.

No one knew where they found the energy.

Ding dong—

Qin Sheng:【Xiyan!!! (*≧▽≦) Get up! Get up! I’ve held it in for so long, I really can’t anymore. Let me see you!】

Shen Xiyan:【If you can’t hold it, go to the bathroom. Where are we meeting?】

Qin Sheng:【I’ll come to your place?】

You’re coming to my house?

Then what am I supposed to do?

Shen Xiyan:【Meet at the pedestrian street.】

Qin Sheng:【What’s that? Is the girlfriend ashamed to be seen? How can you type such cold words with 37°C hands? Type it again from the hottest part of your body!】

The hottest part on a guy’s body?

That’s probably not typing—it’s an apology.

“My phone… It’s all my fault for being stupid; it’s everywhere.”

Shen Xiyan:【You’re not my girlfriend anyway.】

After thinking about it, he decided to delete the message.

It was early morning—no need to provoke Qin Sheng like that. There were better ways to decline.

Shen Xiyan:【This way has more date vibes, don’t you think?】

Qin Sheng:【…True. I’m heading out, hurry up!】

Shen Xiyan:【Sis, what time is it? Don’t be in such a hurry!】

If he went now, the only option would be to buy breakfast at the neighborhood gate.

Strolling? Forget that!

Qin Sheng:【I want to see you! Hurry up! Today, your usage rights belong to me. Everything’s settled, no bargaining.】

Silently, Shen Xiyan got out of bed, rebelliously putting on a pair of black underwear.

He sent a message to Lin Ci next door.

Shen Xiyan:【Wenwen’s with you. I’m heading out first.】

Lin Ci:【So early?】

A rare instant reply.

Shen Xiyan:【The early bird catches the worm…】

Lin Ci:【The early worm gets eaten by the bird.】

Shen Xiyan:【…】

Lin Ci just bluntly revealed the truth.

But how could he be the worm?

Borrowing a line from Tang Bohu Points Autumn Fragrance, the mighty eagle was the one.

Strong and passionate, simply perfect.

Lin Ci:【Had breakfast?】

Shen Xiyan:【Not yet, going out to eat now.】

Lin Ci:【Together?】

Shen Xiyan:【Can you get up?】

Lin Ci:【Wait for me!】

Shen Xiyan didn’t care at all about today’s “date.”

In his past life, he had simply changed into the new clothes Auntie bought, trimmed the hair that had grown long enough to cover his eyes, shaved, clipped his nails, and considering the harsh summer sun, reluctantly agreed to Wenwen’s suggestion to apply some sunscreen before heading out.

See… that’s all.

Today, he wore his usual clothes and just took a phone with him.

Waiting a bit at the hallway, Lin Ci sneaked out like a thief.

“You’re…”

“Shh!!!”

Lin Ci nervously glanced behind, making sure her parents were still asleep before sighing in relief and softly closing the door: “My parents aren’t awake yet… don’t wake them.”

Actually, she didn’t want them to know she was going out to breakfast with Xiyan.

Otherwise, her old man, who was terrified that the neighboring little stink pig would mess with his precious cabbage, would shamelessly find some excuse to follow… and that atmosphere would be awkward.

Right now, the cabbage was voluntarily walking into the pig’s mouth.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Ci’s outfit was casual today, her long hair flowing behind her.

She wore a cherry-pink short sleeve on top and a white sports skirt with white sneakers, revealing two fair and slender long legs.

As she walked, her hair and skirt swayed, her hips perked, full of youthful energy.

“Why no twin ponytails today?”

Lin Ci wrinkled her delicate nose: “That’s a limited outfit. You can’t just say ‘let me see’ whenever.”

“… When’s the comeback?”

Waiting for you to bump into my butt, so I can give you a leverage point.

Of course… this couldn’t be said. Miss Lin Ci was very reserved.

“You beg me, and I’ll bring it back.”

“Lin Ci, what do you take me for…”

“Love it or leave it, if not, I’ll enjoy it myself.”

“… How do I beg?”

“???”

“Hahaha! Lin Ci, you’re so cute…” Shen Xiyan laughed out loud while looking at her.

“What’s that!”

Lin Ci blushed, annoyed, and gave him a couple of playful slaps.

“Really cute…”

The girl lowered her gaze shyly, avoiding his eyes.

“Then between that and the twin ponytails… cough cough! Which do you think looks better?”

“You look good no matter what, just not ponytails. Ponytails make your face look bigger.”

Lin Ci was frustrated: “I always wore ponytails before!!”

“I know, but… hey hey, don’t hit me! Actually, there are girls who look great with ponytails, and you’re one of them!”

“Exactly how good? Tell me!”

Lin Ci made a fierce face, yelling: “If you can’t say it, I’ll beat you to death!”

“Good-looking is good-looking.

You’re beautiful no matter what! That’s why you women are so petty… Ah! Ow!”

“I’m a girl!!!”

“Girls are just little women!” Shen Xiyan stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

Lin Ci didn’t bother arguing; this guy had thick skin, pinching him was exhausting and he wasn’t delicate or soft at all.

“Wait for it…”

Shen Xiyan said, pulling out his phone, casually snapping a photo of Lin Ci.

The early morning light shone on her, her simple and neat sporty outfit, slender neck, youthful and radiant.

Which boy wouldn’t be moved seeing this?

If it weren’t for the two “demons” like Qin Sheng, she would definitely be the Capital Flower.

“This one’s not good-looking…”

“Nonsense! This one’s gorgeous, every snap could be a wallpaper.”

“Really?”

To Lin Ci, these photos didn’t look good; they didn’t capture her true beauty.

Any random one in her album looked better.

Photo editing! Shen Xiyan hadn’t even edited them!

A boyfriend like this was going to get beaten up one day!

But from Shen Xiyan’s perspective, this photo was spontaneous, beautiful in its naturalness, pure in desire, and innocent in color.

Just like Milk Tea Sister, who suddenly swept the nation with a simple photo of her drinking milk tea posted by a classmate.

She didn’t intend it, but her looks made everything feel seductive.

“You once said there were stars in my eyes. Now I’m returning that line to you.

There’s a starry sky in your eyes.

Then doesn’t that mean you’re inside me?”

The early morning was a bit chilly in just a T-shirt, but as soon as she said it, she immediately realized what she’d said.

Her mind went blank and her cheeks flushed deeply.

This is bad! What did I just say?

Xi… Xiyan is inside me?!

My health code is about to turn yellow!

Something must be wrong with this world. It must be because I spend too much time with Xiyan; proximity to ink blackens one’s nature.

Someone once said, the longer two people are together, the more alike their personalities, tempers, and speech styles become—the legendary couple’s resemblance.

Thinking like this, Lin Ci felt reassured.

I have no problem; Xiyan is the one with the problem.
