Tong Yao had two classes in the morning, so she took the opportunity to stroll around Huai City University with her sister Tong Ge, before they headed to class together.
Arm in arm with her sister, they noticeably drew more attention as they walked on campus.
Our Huai University’s campus belle has turned into two?
Double the campus belle, the head-turning rate isn’t just additive, it’s exponentially skyrocketing~
One campus belle shyly lowers her head, while the other looks around nonchalantly.
"Sister, so many people are looking at us."
"Sister, they seem to be calling you... campus belle?"
Thus, Tong Yao lowers her head a little more and hurriedly pulls her sister to walk faster.
"Let’s hurry, time for class."
"Sister, you’re so popular."
"Your brother-in-law is even more popular, just wait until you enroll and let him take care of you~"
The sisters arrived in the classroom and sat down, Tong Ge began flipping through a textbook, while Tong Yao took out her phone to exchange intel in their group chat.
"Last night, Lin Shuang went out with that bad woman Xia Yubing and didn’t return home all night!"
Su Wan, who was also getting ready for class, replied, "You useless maid, can’t you keep an eye on your master?!"
Tong Yao typed indignantly, "I was accompanying my sister last night!"
"The two of you together and you couldn’t keep him in check? Are you even capable?!"
"Wait until your excellent maid takes action tonight, I’ll surely keep the master at home!"
Tonight, I absolutely cannot let the master out again! I can’t let him be corrupted by bad women every day!
"Don’t bother doing anything, you’re helpless even when you speak, useless maid~"
Tong Yao paused for a moment before realizing what this "speak out" meant.
Her cheeks blushing, she glanced at her sister beside her. Thankfully, her sister wasn’t peeking and was focused on reading.
Lingmeng timidly popped up, "This ’speak out’ you guys are talking about... does it mean what I think it does...?"
Billion dollar import and export trade? Could it be she’s the slowest one among all the master’s ’wings’?
Lingmeng clenched her little fists: I must speed up the process of giving away for free... Should I visit the master tonight?
But looking at the group messages, tonight Tong Yao sister plans to enhance defenses...
How can I stealthily give away for free then!
"Bad maid, come out and teach your master’s apprentice~"
Su Wan said with a smirk, "From now on, you’ll be the teacher in this department of your household."
"Don’t lead Lingmeng astray, bad woman!"
Lingmeng tried to phrase her thoughts, "I think there’s no need to keep such close tabs on the master, as the saying goes, to catch, sometimes let go..."
"Hm? Little Lingmeng, do you also want to ’speak out’ tonight? Maybe you can discuss it with the bad maid~"
Tong Yao looked at the group messages, sneering: Discuss what? That kind of thing, is it really a job for two people to collaborate on?
...Although she had seen similar scenes in master’s study materials.
Tong Yao draped her hair behind her ear, covering her increasingly red cheeks, and then shook her head.
No one is allowed over tonight! The master is hers tonight!
However, plans never keep up with changes~
Just as the three girls were chatting heatedly, another of their rivals appeared!
At the same time, Yan Han was intently staring at Lin Shuang in front of her.
For the first time, those eyes that had regained their sparkle clearly saw the world—pristine and budding, as if about to burst open with all its beauty.
But right now, at this moment, the only thing in her eyes was Lin Shuang.
Yan Han’s voice was especially soft, as if afraid to shatter the moment, "Brother Shuang... am I dreaming?"
But... she couldn’t see anything clearly in her dreams, either.
Lin Shuang gently touched her mole, feeling her hot tears soak his fingertips.
His eyes were brimming with tears too, "How about you bite me hard, Xiao Han, and I’ll see if it hurts?"
"I can’t bear to do that."
"But you just bit me when I was brushing your teeth for you!"
"I didn’t bite hard at all."
Yan Han’s voice was as soft as a murmur in a dream.
She still dared not blink, watching Lin Shuang for a while before tentatively reaching out to touch his cheek.
She smiled foolishly, more tears squeezing out from her eyes, trailing over the back of Lin Shuang’s hand.
"Brother Shuang... You’re a million times more handsome than I imagined."
In fact, she had only seen Lin Shuang by now, with nothing to compare to.
But she just felt that Brother Shuang was undoubtedly the most handsome man in the entire universe.
Yan Han, as usual, used her hands to feel Lin Shuang’s contours.
But now, finally, she could do more than feel; she could see with her eyes.
Her entire self was softly leaning against Lin Shuang’s chest, her little face upturned as she stared at him, her hands gently caressing his cheek.
So meticulously as if not wanting to miss a single pore.
Lin Shuang was very cooperative with her inspection, until the little kitten that had been neglected for a long time got terribly hungry and started meowing again.
Hurry up and feed me, you silly humans! What are you sticking together for? Trying to merge or something?
But you should wait until after you’ve filled my stomach!
However, Yan Han wasn’t swayed at all, and didn’t even notice the meowing. Her eyes were only for Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang picked up the pitiful little tricolor kitten, raised its paw, and greeted Yan Han.
"Meet your little pooper-scooper~"
"Huahua... You look exactly as Brother Shuang described, so beautiful."
Huahua meowed, seemingly in agreement.
Yan Han dumbly shook hands with the little tricolor cat, embracing her with one hand and holding Lin Shuang’s with the other, slowly turning her head to look around the room.
The room where she had lived in darkness for so long.
The sofa piled with cute cushions that Brother Shuang had bought, and a knitted glove that was already finished.
The table neatly arranged with various tools, all placed within easy reach for her—ah, so the air conditioner remote controller that she hadn’t been able to find for a few days had fallen under the cabinet.
A bird that looked rather foolish perched on the sun-dappled windowsill: probably the spotted dove that Brother Shuang had told her about.
The bathroom door, on that wall that always bumped into her, still had one or two marks on it. She must have knocked into it, right? She won’t bear it any grudges then.
After looking around, Yan Han’s gaze eventually rested back on Lin Shuang’s cheek.
Lin Shuang grinned at her, "It’s not a dream, Xiao Han. Your eyes have healed."
Yan Han set down Huahua, grabbed his finger and bit it hard.
Lin Shuang cried out in pain, "Didn’t you just say you couldn’t bear to?"
"Because Brother Shuang will always spoil me..."
Yan Han looked at the tooth marks she left on his finger, like a ring.
"Brother Shuang, are you busy this afternoon?"
Yan Han nodded, "Even if you are busy, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Help me move..."
She fell softly back into Lin Shuang’s arms, "I want to go home with Brother Shuang."
