It was almost noon when Xia Wenxi finally managed to open her eyes, awakened by the aroma of food waking her up from outside the room.

Using the sliver of light filtering through the curtains, Xia Wenxi lifted the covers and pulled back her clothes to look at herself. She really wondered if Lin Shen had been a cupping device in his past life.

I anticipated this last night, but I was still shocked when I saw it today. And this person really knows how to find a good spot…

There wasn't a single mark on the collar; it was as if the area below the collar was a completely different world.

Just then, Xia Wenxi heard the door open. She looked up angrily at the "culprit" and wanted to say, "Look what you've done!"

However, it was inconvenient to display the evidence of her crime in broad daylight, for the sake of her waist.

When the "culprit" saw that she was awake, he approached with a smile and sat down by the bed.

"Lunch is ready. Are you hungry?"

Xia Wenxi thought she had glared at the person fiercely for a long time, which was a good way to vent her anger. Now that she felt a little better, she reached out her hand from under the covers.

"My legs are sore. I'll give you a chance to carry me to the bathroom."

"Welcome to serve."

Lin Shen bent down and kissed Xia Wenxi's lips, then had her wrap her arms around his neck. He lifted her up by supporting her knees with one hand, and even had one hand free to tidy up Xia Wenxi's slightly messy hair from sleeping all night.

Xia Wenxi's gaze suddenly rose, and as she turned her head, she saw the wind chime hanging above the bed, an ugly wind chime made by herself.

Thinking about what happened last night, Xia Wenxi was indignant.

"Could you please take this broken wind chime off?"

Lin Shen followed her gaze and looked at the string of seashell wind chimes.

"If Wenxi doesn't like it, we'll hang it somewhere else later."

Xia Wenxi propped her head up, stared at Lin Shen for a moment, and then leaned back.

"Never mind, I don't really dislike it."

A man who speaks with hidden meanings, humph~

Last time Xia Wenxi came, she could only wear Lin Shen's T-shirt after taking a shower. This time, she wore a pure cotton pink pajama set.

Lin Shen was wearing the same style of gray.

However, while brushing her teeth, Xia Wenxi remembered something.

She spat out the foam from her mouth, looked up at the man standing next to her, and asked, "Where's the dress I wore last night?"

"It was sent to the dry cleaners this morning."

Xia Wenxi looked down at her pajamas and asked, "So I have to wear this home today?"

Although wearing a formal dress back home wasn't much better, having a coat and going straight to the front door wasn't too strange.

It's better than going back in your pajamas, right? That would be like announcing through a megaphone that you just got out of Lin Shen's bed.

"I bought you other clothes."

"Um?"

Xia Wenxi didn't even want to wash her face anymore; she just wanted to go out and see what Lin Shen had bought for her.

"Wash your face first, then look at it later."

As Xia Wenxi bent over to wash up, the neckline of her pajamas slipped down, and Lin Shen, standing to the side and looking down at her, could easily see the tiny points on her chest.

Although only a glimpse was seen, it's not hard to imagine what was happening beneath the cover.

He brought this upon himself, and no one knows it better than he does.

After washing her face, Xia Wenxi looked up and dried it with a washcloth, then gestured to Lin Shen, "Let's go."

Does it hurt?

"What?"

Lin Shen reached out and touched Xia Wenxi's chest, but it was enough for Xia Wenxi to understand what Lin Shen meant.

It would have been better if we hadn't brought this up. Xia Wenxi said irritably, "It doesn't hurt, but you went too far. Did you think this was cupping therapy?"

"sorry."

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi watched as Lin Shen leaned down and placed a light kiss on her chest through her clothes, as light as a feather.

She bit her lip and after a while said, "Are you still going to eat? If the food at lunch is good, I'll consider forgiving you."

...

After finishing two bowls of rice, Xia Wenxi was fully recharged.

He had distracted her so much that she forgot to look at the clothes. Xia Wenxi only remembered after they finished eating and pulled Lin Shen to the dressing room.

"You bought quite a lot."

Xia Wenxi was somewhat surprised; one of the wardrobes in the walk-in closet was clearly filled with women's clothing.

There were all sorts of sweaters, a few down jackets, and some pants too.

There are several different sets of pajamas.

Lin Shen then opened the lower drawer, inside which were neatly arranged underwear and socks.

Just looking at this wardrobe, Xia Wenxi would feel that this is her home.

Lin Shen then led the person to the shoe cabinet by the door.

In the shoe cabinet, there were women's sneakers, snow boots that looked very warm, and even fluffy slippers. The high heels she wore yesterday were also neatly arranged inside.

She didn't notice any of this when she entered the house last night; she was carried into the room before she even had a chance to look at it.

Xia Wenxi casually picked out a pair of shoes and tried them on; the size was just right, and they fit perfectly.

"You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you?"

Xia Wenxi tilted her head and looked at Lin Shen. Last time she came here, she had nothing, but this time it was already like she was living in Lin Shen's house.

"Yes."

Lin Shen's straightforward admission made Xia Wenxi laugh at him, "You're quite honest."

"Wenxi, my mom called me this morning."

"What's wrong? What did your mother say?"

Xia Wenxi noticed that Lin Shen's expression was solemn, as if he had something important to say.

"My mom asked me to ask you if you'd like to come home for dinner with me after the New Year."

Lin Shen guessed that after his older brother saw Wen Xi at the annual party last night, he casually mentioned something to his mother.

"That's all? Okay."
