Su Yuxi raised her eyes, trying her best to appear calm, but the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.
She used to earn 100 to 200 million a year from her regular job. With some extra income, she could easily make up the 300 million shortfall. Now, she suddenly has an extra 20 million in pocket money every month, plus a gold mine with an annual income of 500 million. How could she refuse?
Don't even mention how fierce he is; you could say he's mentally ill too.
She coughed lightly twice and stammered, "Well... it's not impossible."
"but……"
Fu Huaijin's heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again: "But what?"
Su Yuxi turned her face to the side. The number made her want to grin from ear to ear, but she didn't want anyone to see her laughing in a cheap way, so she had to desperately hold it in.
"Let me think about it for a few days."
Previously, without consulting anyone and under pressure from the situation, she agreed to Lu Yunzhou's request without fully considering the circumstances, and the final result was not satisfactory.
Now that she has Sister Chichi, she has to be more careful and ask for her opinion before making a decision.
Fu Huaijin frowned, his displeasure evident in his expression upon hearing the answer. However, he knew that some things couldn't be rushed, so despite his reluctance, he could only agree for the time being.
"Um."
"Alright, you can continue soaking if you want. I'm going back to sleep." She lifted her delicate, pink feet, like peach blossoms, and playfully kicked him on the shoulder.
This time, Fu Huaijin slowly released her and stepped back, his movements carrying a hint of reluctance. It was only then that he noticed her clothes, saw her snow-white skin and full, shapely figure, and was momentarily lost in thought.
Su Yuxi also noticed his stunned gaze. Following his gaze, she looked down and realized that she was only wearing a thin nightgown.
She was soaking wet from going down to save him, and she was wearing a white nightgown. The nightgown was slightly see-through after being soaked, and it clung to her body, showing off her graceful figure to the fullest, giving people a sense of both subtlety and endless imagination.
Even if she had been carefree before, she was now incredibly embarrassed. Two blushes suddenly bloomed on her cheeks, she covered her chest with her hands, and splashed water on his face with her feet. A large number of water droplets drew arcs in the air and landed on his face: "What are you looking at? Turn around."
Fu Huaijin's eyes were dark and unfathomable. He obediently turned around, and Su Yuxi snorted heavily at his figure. She got up from the ground and ran back barefoot as fast as she could.
Fu Huaijin listened carefully until there was no sound behind him before calmly climbing out of the water. He stood there for several minutes to calm down before walking back.
After he had changed and washed, he slowly returned to Su Yuxi's room.
Inside the room, moonlight streamed in through the window, clearly revealing a small lump curled up on the bed.
Su Yuxi wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, not even showing her head, clearly trying to avoid him.
Fu Huaijin took his shoes off, got into bed, covered himself with the blanket, and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep, just as he always did.
Although my eyes were closed, my brain was unusually active, and I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. My heart was pounding nonstop, as if I hadn't realized it yet.
He raised his hand to press his wildly beating heart, turned to the side, and looked at the figure with its back to him.
"Su Yuxi..." he called softly.
The person on the bed didn't move.
"Xi Xi..."
The figure seemed to move slightly.
"Xi Xi..."
Fu Huaijin chanted like a spell; if those around him ignored him, he would keep chanting.
Su Yuxi was so annoyed by his nagging that she suddenly pulled off the blanket, turned around and glared at him, scolding him fiercely: "Go to sleep, what time is it? What are you yelling for?"
"No, I just wanted to ask if you've thought it through." Fu Huaijin's voice was indifferent, sounding devoid of emotion. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was discussing what to eat tomorrow, but this was a matter of life and death for him.
He leaned closer and casually tugged at her blanket: "If you have any questions, remember to tell me."
Su Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, slapped away his large, bony hand, and pulled the blanket back: "Didn't you say you needed a few days to think about it? It's only been a few minutes, what's the rush?"
"Why do you need to think about it for so long? I'm here, and you're here. Can't we give an answer right away?" Fu Huaijin's eyes darkened slightly. He didn't understand what else needed to be considered. There's a saying that the longer you wait, the more things can go wrong. He felt that the longer it dragged on, the more unknown variables there would be.
Moreover, the terms he offered were more generous than anyone else's, so why should we consider them?
"What do you know? I need to find out what kind of person you are and whether we can get along in the future."
Fu Huaijin felt that she was just brushing him off: "We've been living together for a long time, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Besides, he had taken her to the base back then, and knew some of his secrets, so what else didn't she know?
"Anything you want to know, you can ask me."
Su Yuxi: "..."
"Shut up, I want to sleep, I don't want to talk." After throwing those words at him, she covered her head again, not wanting to hear his trashy words.
Fu Huaijin watched her back in silence for a moment, then lay down straight and stared at the ceiling.
He didn't know how long he had been watching when he heard the even breathing of the person next to him. He quietly moved closer, picked up the edge of the blanket with his fingertips, and slowly lifted the blanket to reveal the small, delicate face hidden inside.
He guessed that she had been cooped up in bed for a long time, and her little face was flushed, reminding him of a ripe peach, which was also pink and tender, making one want to take a bite.
He didn't bite, but instead reached out and gently scraped the skin twice. Sure enough, the skin felt as smooth and tender as he had imagined. Then, naturally, he hugged the person in his arms. It was indeed very fragrant and soft.

The next day, as dawn broke.
Su Yuxi woke up in a slightly cool embrace. As usual, the first thing she did upon waking was to lie flat and stretch.
But she paused for a moment when she made the movement, as if something was restraining her arms. As her gaze slowly moved down, she saw the hands wrapped around her waist.
In the past, every time they woke up, the two of them were separated by the Chu River and Han Border, with a clear division between them, and the space in the middle was wide enough for several trains to pass through. Why is it that today when she woke up, she was in his arms?
You two haven't officially confirmed your relationship yet, okay?
Su Yuxi snorted inwardly, then gently flicked his hand to the side.
Fu Huaijin was in a deep sleep at the moment, and this little movement wouldn't disturb him.
Even if you push him flat on his back, he probably won't wake up.
Su Yuxi got out of bed and could finally stretch out without any worries.
Once she had fully relaxed, remembering Fu Huaijin's erratic behavior, she still glanced at him with a soft heart. Seeing that he was still breathing, she didn't take it seriously. She washed her face, ate breakfast, and went out as usual, proceeding with everything in an orderly manner.
