The moment she was released, Lin Xinyuan couldn’t wait to slip away.
Although the Smelly Blondie’s embrace was indeed very warm and she felt a bit reluctant to leave… compared to that, she clearly wanted to get as far away from this stinking rogue pervert as possible right now!
Lin Xinyuan was so frantic she didn’t care about her poise; she just wanted to get off the bed.
Thus, after breaking free from Qin Nanfeng’s arms, she quickly crawled over him with her bottom tilted up.
She had no idea that everything beneath her skirt was seen perfectly clearly by the person behind her…
It wasn’t until the girl took clean clothes from the wardrobe and hurriedly locked herself in the bathroom that Qin Nanfeng slowly withdrew his gaze.
The image he had just seen flashed through his mind—the distinct dark patch on the white and blue fabric…
Lying on the bed, his nose filled with the girl’s unique fragrance, the look in Qin Nanfeng’s eyes was strange, and the curve of his lips was almost impossible to suppress.
Little one…
You’re really in trouble…
Heh heh…
After a comfortable shower, Lin Xinyuan felt much lighter. That damp, sticky sensation was finally gone.
While she was at it, she washed that “ill-fated” white and blue undergarment, which finally gave her some peace of mind.
After the hot water bath, the girl’s naturally clear face looked even more like a lotus emerging from water; her cheeks were white with a rosy tint, and that trace of sickly paleness was temporarily masked.
“You’ve suffered…”
Lin Xinyuan hung it on a hanger, sighing softly in a somewhat neurotic manner, lightly biting her pink lip while her face burned…
Because there was a big perverted wolf in her room, she didn’t dare wander around naked as she usually did. After putting on her pajamas, she cautiously opened the bathroom door.
“Eh? Where’d he go?”
As soon as she came out, she found that Qin Nanfeng was actually gone. She picked up her phone from the nightstand, intending to ask, but then remembered she was supposed to be ignoring the guy.
Would sending a message voluntarily make it seem like she couldn’t live without him?
Thinking this, Lin Xinyuan froze, falling into conflict once more. However, after a brief internal struggle, she chose to ask anyway.
This was called concern; it wasn’t that she couldn’t leave him. She wasn’t a child…
As it turned out, upon opening her phone, Lin Xinyuan found a message he had left ten minutes ago.
So he went downstairs to keep Grandpa company and drink?
This guy…
He clearly promised to take care of her, yet he left after taking all those liberties. Truly a stinking scumbag!
Lin Xinyuan didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. She was relieved that she wouldn’t have to face Qin Nanfeng’s teasing for a while, but she was also dissatisfied with his departure… it was complicated.
Was this what the ancients meant by “proximity leads to disrespect, distance leads to resentment”?
She mocked herself in this way, then shook her head gently. Sitting down at the desk stool, she plugged in the power, picked up the hairdryer, and began drying her hair in front of the mirror.
Perhaps because of the jade bracelet, her hair grew much faster than most people’s; it already reached past her shoulders and down her back.
Consequently, it took much longer to dry. Compared to her neat short hair back when she was a boy, this took far too long.
The hairdryer was very noisy, making it difficult for Lin Xinyuan to hear any movement outside the room.
While she was meticulously drying her hair, she suddenly noticed someone in the mirror who had walked up behind her at some unknown moment.
Startled, she hurriedly switched off the hairdryer. She began to get nervous, and a sense of guilt inevitably welled up in her heart.
“Mom?”
Lin’s mother nodded with a light smile. Then, remembering something, she frowned slightly and asked, “Xiaoyuan, did you take your medicine?”
“Ah… yes… I took it…”
Regarding her words, Mother Lin still wasn’t quite at ease. She walked toward the small square table where the electric kettle was placed.
Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan felt her heart leap into her throat. She wanted to stop her in a panic, but before she could call out, Mother Lin had already reached the table.
Lin Xinyuan closed her eyes, preparing for the worst.
If her mother found out she was joking with her health, she wouldn’t be furious, but she would definitely give her a lecture.
However, the expected confrontation didn’t happen. After checking the kettle, Mother Lin found no issues; even the medicine next to the kettle showed signs of being handled. Only then did she relax.
It wasn’t that Mother Lin had a strong desire for control, but her daughter was truly someone who caused worry…
In fact, if they weren’t at home, she couldn’t even guarantee Lin Xinyuan would eat breakfast on time. Thinking about it, it was all her own fault.
“Why are you dazing off? Still feeling unwell?”
Walking back, Mother Lin saw Lin Xinyuan’s strange expression with her eyes closed, feeling both amused and worried.
“Ah… uh…” Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan snapped her eyes open. Noticing that her mom’s attitude seemed normal, she was confused, but quickly reacted with a flash of inspiration: “I’m just a bit sleepy…”
Mother Lin nodded: “Is that so… Then let me help you dry your hair, and you can go to bed early.”
“No need, really…”
Lin Xinyuan muttered. Deep down, she really hoped her mom would leave quickly and not linger in her room, otherwise how embarrassing would it be if her fake illness was discovered…
“Are you already tired of your mom?” Mother Lin lightly tapped the girl’s head, her tone teasing. “Ai… once they have a boyfriend, they forget their mother… hmm?”
As she said this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous. Previously, she had tried to get the girl to wear a skirt, but she refused to the death… yet today, after being whisked away by that boy, she put one on immediately…
Although Mother Lin was happy for her daughter and Qin Nanfeng to be together, now that the moment was here, she couldn’t help but feel a bit reluctant to let go. She felt that the moment of their marriage wasn’t far off… and how much longer could she accompany her daughter?
Mother Lin rarely put on such a playful, youthful act. Her teasing left Lin Xinyuan flushed and utterly ashamed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“I didn’t…”
Seeing her shy appearance, Mother Lin’s thoughts drifted back to this time last year…
Back then, her daughter was still a sullen boy, and their relationship was very poor.
Yet in just one year, not only had she inexplicably become a genuine girl, but their relationship had softened, and now she had even found a boyfriend…
Mother Lin sighed with emotion, feeling both heartache and relief. Seeing the girl silent again, she picked up the hairdryer and began drying Lin Xinyuan’s hair.
The girl seemed to have inherited her hair texture; it was very smooth, not the coarse type, but very soft and fluffy. Touching it felt like patting the head of a small animal.
Her calloused hands moved gently through the black tresses, allowing the hot air to blow evenly through the strands—
Lin Xinyuan didn’t know how long passed. She felt her face and earlobes were burning the entire time. She lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look at her mom, until the noisy sound finally stopped…
“Alright, Xiaoyuan, go to sleep early. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, let your boyfriend take you to the town clinic.”
The girl felt she had developed a “sickness” where she would get embarrassed and blush just by hearing the word “boyfriend”…
Because whenever she heard that word, her old memories seemed to tell her how strange this all was…
Once Mother Lin left, Lin Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and could finally relax.
When her mom went to check the medicine and the kettle just now, it had almost scared her to death.
It was all the Smelly Blondie’s fault!
He made her forget about that detail…
Thinking this, Lin Xinyuan became a bit confused again. Given her mom’s reaction… it meant she hadn’t found out?
Full of confusion, she stood up and walked straight to the small wooden square table.
She looked at the kettle, which was still steaming after opening the lid, and the capsules and oral liquid that had been opened at some unknown time…
After a moment, her face flushed slightly as she lightly bit her lip. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling with a faint smile.
“Smelly pervert… he actually has a little conscience…”
Mm… but not much.
