"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knocking sound coming from the bathroom door.

Shen Xu certainly knew who was standing outside the door.

He asked somewhat flusteredly, "What's wrong?"

"Shen Xu, I want to take a shower too."

Ning Yanshu shouted loudly from outside the bathroom, "I didn't shower during the few days I was in the hospital, and I stank all over!"

Although it's not summer, not washing it for several days still made him feel extremely disgusted.

Especially when you hear the sound of water from the bathroom outside.

The sound of the rushing water is very enjoyable.

"Take a bath?" Shen Xu was stunned: "How do I take a bath?"

He had used immense courage even to take off Ning Yanshu's pants, so how could he possibly face him naked?

Shen Xu hastily rubbed soap all over his body, rinsed himself clean, and then hurriedly put on his clothes and left the bathroom.

He asked, "Can we wait for Third Brother?"

He really can't do it!!!

"But I feel so uncomfortable."

Ning Yanshu twisted his body, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He grabbed Shen Xu by the collar and brought him close to Shen Xu's face: "Smell it, it stinks."

Ning Yanshu was very close, his breath hitting Shen Xu's nose directly.

The overpowering and domineering scent made him almost faint in the next second.

"You were almost knocked out by my stench!" Ning Yanshu's eyes widened in disbelief: "...Is it really that smelly?"

He sniffed it with some self-doubt.

Then, unable to hold it in, he vomited: "Ugh..."

Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly explained, "No, it's just that the bathroom is hot. It's because of the lack of oxygen, and it's uncomfortable."

Seeing that Shen Xu's face was indeed flushed, Ning Yanshu quickly helped him up: "Then sit on the bed and rest for a while. I'll open the window to ventilate the room."

After a long while, Shen Xu's complexion gradually returned to normal, and his breathing became much more stable.

"Are you feeling better?" Ning Yanshu asked worriedly, squatting by the bedside.

Shen Xu nodded, then asked him, "Do you still want to wash?"

Ning Yanshu hurriedly shook his head: "Let's forget it, you're not feeling well. If my mother finds out, she'll say I'm a fascist and deliberately enslaving you."

Shen Xu smiled and said, "It's alright, Third Sister-in-law won't."

Because he had just taken a shower, Shen Xu's hair was still wet and dripping water.

Her face had a faint rosy glow, and her skin was as white as jade.

He looked down at him with his eyes lowered, a clear smile in his eyes.

It seemed like doting affection, yet also like overflowing joy.

Ning Yanshu was momentarily stunned.

He stammered, "Shen Xu, you're really good-looking..."

Shen Xu's smile abruptly stopped.

He looked away, his eyes darting to the side, and hurriedly stood up: "My hair's wet, I need to dry it..."

"Do you need my help?" Ning Yanshu asked.

"No!"

Shen Xu instinctively refused and hurriedly dodged away.

That figure from behind seemed to be fleeing in panic.

Ning Yanshu stood there, her face full of doubt and confusion...

...

In the end, Ning Yanshu waited until Shen Fu came home from get off work before taking a shower.

Shen Fu treated him with less care than he treated Ning Wan; Ning Yanshu also always complained that Shen Fu's methods were not as considerate as Shen Xu's.

The father and son spent a long time in the bathroom complaining about each other before finally finishing their showers and coming out.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Ning Yanshu couldn't wait to eat: "Today I can finally have a good meal."

Ning Wan came out of the kitchen with chopsticks and a spoon and called out, "Sit down and eat."

Ning Yanshu peeked into the kitchen, but couldn't see anyone.

He asked Ning Wan, "Where's Shen Xu? Why didn't he come for dinner?"

"Shen Xu went back to school. Didn't he tell you?" Ning Wan asked, somewhat puzzled. "He just said something came up at school and left in a hurry."

"They're gone?" Ning Yanshu's voice rose.

"Well... I told him to eat and go back tomorrow morning, but Ah Xu insisted, so I didn't say anything more."

Shen Fu raised an eyebrow and asked Ning Yanshu, "Did you make A-Xu angry?"

"I didn't," Ning Yanshu pouted, muttering, "With his personality, I'd have to be able to argue with him..."

Shen Xu's sudden departure left Ning Yanshu feeling lost.

Shen Fu's words made him feel inexplicably annoyed.

Faced with the dishes on the table, Ning Yanshu picked up one chopstick after another and stuffed them all into her mouth.

She said resentfully, "He's just unlucky to have so much delicious food. I'm going to eat it all, not leaving a single bite for Chen Xu!"

But the originally fragrant food suddenly became tasteless upon tasting it.

Ning Yanshu's face fell, and he was in a terrible mood.

Shen Fu opened his mouth to reprimand him, but saw Ning Wan shake her head slightly and wink at him...

...

Ning Yanshu reminded herself that she was very angry about Shen Xu's departure without saying goodbye!

Extremely, very, extremely angry!!!

So when Shen Xu comes back from school on the weekend, I absolutely must not talk to him!

However, to his surprise, Shen Xu stayed at school for more than two months before returning home.

At that time, the new year was about to begin.

Ke Ningyan's tutoring class didn't officially close for the holiday until noon on Lunar New Year's Eve.

When school was over, watching him frantically stuff all the textbooks on the table into his schoolbag, Wang Zihao asked in confusion, "Are you in a hurry to go home?"

"Yes." Ning Yanshu replied without looking up, "Shen Xu is coming back today."

Upon hearing Shen Xu's name, Wang Zihao suddenly realized who it was.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Chen Xu. How has he been lately? Is he still stuttering?"
