Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue walked around the neighborhood for forty minutes before heading back. After all, it was deep winter, and the weather was quite cold.
Just as they reached the doorstep, the sound of footsteps suddenly emerged from behind.
Su Chen looked up and saw that it was Yan Xi, the little girl.
Su Chen couldn't help but pout.
She understood that this girl, fresh out of her cage, was surely hard to control.
Yan Xi looked at him and said:
"I went for dinner with Sister Zhao Lin and Sister Ran Ting."
"Looks like you've gotten quite close with them pretty fast!"
Su Chen commented lightly, and then he frowned slightly:
Yan Xi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Alright, hurry inside then."
Su Chen said nothing more and went inside.
Since he arrived home early today, Lin Ruoxue went upstairs to continue working.
"What have you been up to these past two days? You didn't even take me!"
Yan Xi couldn't help but say.
"All you think about is playing; I was handling some business."
Su Chen said grumpily.
"Next time you handle business, can you take me along, please?"
Yan Xi pleaded, her eyes sparkling.
Su Chen replied noncommittally:
"You should get back to your room and cultivate!"
Yan Xi pouted upon hearing this: "Why are you acting like Old Man Wei now?!"
After saying this, she went back to her room, and Su Chen also walked into his room and put away the wooden box containing Ghost Beard Grass.
He planned to start treating Pei Man after seeing the old ghost master since the treatment must be continuous for seven days.
Then Su Chen went upstairs, took a shower, and lay on the bed browsing a magazine.
Around eleven o'clock, Lin Ruoxue finished working and returned to the room. After taking a shower, she came out wearing a pink lace camisole nightgown.
Su Chen's eyes immediately lit up when he saw Lin Ruoxue emerge, looking like a hungry wolf!
It wasn't his fault, as Lin Ruoxue was very different from her usual self. The nightgown she wore was a provocative lingerie, highly seductive!
Her perfect, curvaceous figure was fully revealed!
Normally, Lin Ruoxue was already mesmerizing, let alone now in such alluring attire!
Lin Ruoxue felt a mix of shyness and joy seeing Su Chen's almost devouring gaze.
She had bought the nightgown online, and it had arrived yesterday. She had read in a magazine that maintaining freshness and passion in love required paying attention to couple's intimacy.
Su Chen blurted out without thinking, his Adam's apple moving deeply, feeling a bit dry and itchy!
He hadn't expected the usually conservative Lin Ruoxue to wear such seductive clothing!
Though this nightgown wasn't as revealing as other lingerie, it was still eye-catching and added a touch of allure!
Lin Ruoxue heard this and bit her lip gently, glanced at him, then pressed her hands on the bed, bending down slowly to climb up like a sexy little wildcat!
It was challenging for Lin Ruoxue, as it was so out of character for her!
Though her movements were somewhat stiff, and her expression wasn't quite right!
But precisely because of this, Su Chen felt a rush of heat when he saw her!
Who had she learned this from? It was too tempting!
Unable to hold back anymore, he pulled Lin Ruoxue into his arms and flipped over, pressing her down, his eyes seemingly burning with fire...
The next morning, Lin Ruoxue slowly opened her eyes and heard the sound of rustling outside.
She gently pressed the curtain remote, and the curtains slowly drew open, revealing a winter wonderland. The trees were covered with thick layers of snow, still falling, snowflakes drifting past the window.
Lin Ruoxue's eyes lit up slightly. She had always loved snow since childhood, though it rarely snowed in the south, sometimes not even once in several years.
Even when it did, it was minimal and melted quickly, leaving more regret.
She was afraid of the cold but loved snow.
After coming to Yandu, she had been silently anticipating the first snowfall.
Unexpectedly, she saw it this morning.
Lying in Su Chen's arms, watching the falling snow, she felt very cozy.
"Awake already, honey."
Suddenly, a low voice sounded.
Lin Ruoxue replied casually.
Su Chen propped up on one hand, while the other hugged Lin Ruoxue, slightly turned, watching the swirling snow.
Suddenly, a sound of pain came.
"What's wrong, honey?"
Su Chen immediately asked.
"It's because of you!"
Lin Ruoxue glanced at him with deep resentment. He was too wild last night; she wanted to change positions slightly but felt a wave of pain!
"Well, beyond control, beyond control."
Su Chen understood instantly, chuckling sheepishly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue's shyness deepened, her face flushed red. This guy!
"Since you're in pain, stay in bed. I'll bring breakfast to you,"
Lin Ruoxue responded obediently, and Su Chen went downstairs in his pajamas.
"Yan Xi, why do you have dark circles?"
Coming downstairs, he noticed Yan Xi looked very tired and asked.
Logically, cultivators shouldn't be affected by sleepless nights; quite opposite, a night of cultivation should make them more energetic!
His question immediately ignited the frustration in Yan Xi's heart.
Su Chen was utterly clueless.
Yan Xi sighed deeply.
She had suffered from the noises from upstairs just like Qi Meng before!
Though she hadn't experienced romantic relationships, she hadn't just seen pigs run without tasting pork, had she?
Especially with the internet being so advanced, even kindergarten kids knew about dating!
Unlike Qi Meng's incident, which had been deliberate, this time it was purely uncontrollable!
Hence, Su Chen hadn't yet connected the dots...
