"What’s with that expression?"
"Su Xiaomeng, at a time like this, you’re still thinking about the dance party?"
"Well... the doctor said my health isn’t good. I have to wait until my cold is completely healed, and my other health indicators are up to standard before I can have the abortion. Even if things go quickly, it’ll take more than half a month. If it goes slowly, who knows... I can’t take leave indefinitely, so... it’s best to go on as usual!"
"Do you have the money for the surgery?" Yin Meng thought money would be her biggest need, knowing that Su Xiaomeng didn’t have much living expenses and usually had no extra funds.
"You don’t need to worry about that. Once I’m feeling better from the cold, I’ll find a part-time job and should be able to scrape enough together."
"If you need to—"
"I know! If I can’t gather enough, I’ll definitely ask you for help!"
Yin Meng sighed and lightly patted her on the head, "How could you end up causing such a big mess?"
Yeah, how did she get herself into such a big mess without realizing it?
In the following days, Su Xiaomeng rested in Yin Shixiu’s house, and Yin Meng visited every day, sometimes staying overnight.
Su Xiaomeng was scared by the unexpected kiss earlier and felt that being too close to Yin Shixiu would surely lead to trouble, so she generally avoided him during the day!
But she didn’t expect to avoid trouble during the day only to fall prey to it at night!
Feeling slightly better, Su Xiaomeng found her appetite increasing, eating three meals a day wasn’t enough!
That night, Su Xiaomeng was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, her stomach empty! Coincidentally, Yin Shixiu had gone out early and hadn’t returned, so her courage rose.
She sneaked into the kitchen to make some midnight snacks. Using the ingredients there, she cooked herself a large bowl of noodles, adding a big spoonful of chili sauce!
Staring at the steaming noodles, she was so tempted by her own creation that she didn’t realize Yin Shixiu had already returned and was leaning against the kitchen door.
A pair of eyes that used to be sharp as an eagle’s were now covered with a layer of intoxication, as her small figure swayed in front of him...
He was the eagle, and she was the rabbit in the grass munching on carrots...
"Does it taste good?"
"Pfft—"
Su Xiaomeng had just taken a mouthful of noodles and was startled, spraying them everywhere!
"Uncle?!"
Seeing Su Xiaomeng’s wide eyes staring at him, Yin Shixiu shrugged and smiled again.
Su Xiaomeng froze at that moment; another smile like that...
A smile that seemed to come from deep within, pulling a perfect curve on those thin lips, making him look incredibly friendly and attractive.
His eyes, not sharp as usual, were veiled like mist, making it hard to see the smiling amber-colored pupils clearly.
"Surprised to see me at my own house?"
"You weren’t, I...thought you wouldn’t be back tonight!"
"You thought I’d be out, so you dared to leave that small bedroom, right?"
"Huh?... Cough, cough..."
Yin Shixiu took two steps forward, standing in front of her with a height advantage that formed an imposing presence.
She instinctively wanted to step back but her wrist was caught.
"Uncle..."
"Uncle... ha, Su Xiaomeng, am I really that old?"
Su Xiaomeng instinctively felt that Yin Shixiu was quite dangerous at the moment and swallowed hard, her expression somewhat dazed...
"Um, Meng Meng said you were thirty-two... did she lie to me?"
"Then, how old are you actually?"
Actually, Su Xiaomeng didn’t really think Yin Shixiu was thirty-two; he looked at most twenty-seven or eight.
