Inside the study.
Lin Xiao ate his skewers slowly and deliberately, while Meng Fanxue ate just as much as Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao chuckled and teased, "I wonder who it was who said they would only try a little bit, but ended up eating it more happily than anyone else."
Meng Fanxue's face flushed. She glared at Lin Xiao, gave a coquettish snort, and said with a playful laugh, "I'm eating with you, and you're laughing at me!"
"I didn't laugh." Lin Xiao laughed even louder.
Meng Fanxue's heart skipped a beat, and she burst into laughter as well.
After she finished laughing heartily, she suddenly said seriously, "Brother Lin Xiao, you look so beautiful when you smile! Really. I've never seen anyone with a more beautiful smile than you."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling without saying a word.
What could he say?
This girl has clearly fallen for him.
The saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," meaning that no matter how you look at your lover, they will always seem beautiful.
His dark eyes looked at Meng Fanxue's stunningly beautiful face and he said with a faint smile, "Fanfan looks better than me when she smiles."
"You should smile more. Your smile is like a flower slowly blooming, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who have seen you smile."
Meng Fanxue felt incredibly sweet inside, her face flushed, and she didn't say anything more.
She didn't know what to say.
But Lin Xiao's words made her happy and sweet.
There was also a hint of shyness.
Shyness kept her silent. She found it difficult to speak.
That night, Meng Fanxue said, "Brother Lin Xiao, I don't want to sleep on you anymore. I want to sleep with my head on your arm."
Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms.
Meng Fanxue felt a powerful surge of male hormones, and her heart fluttered.
She lay on her side, close to Lin Xiao's body.
Her small hand rested horizontally on Lin Xiao's waist and abdomen.
Her hand slipped under Lin Xiao's pajamas and touched his firm skin.
Lin Xiaohu's body trembled.
"Don't move." His deep, magnetic voice rang out.
Meng Fanxue laughed, nuzzled her face against Lin Xiao's shoulder, and said softly, "Brother Lin Xiao, you're so cute!"
Lin Xiao sighed helplessly, "Fanfan, you have no idea how terrifying men can be."
"Go to sleep quietly."
"I can already imagine that Zhao Ma will be glaring at me with two dark circles under her eyes that look like they're about to fall off the ground again tomorrow morning."
Meng Fanxue's smooth fingers rested on Lin Xiao's waist as she hummed, "Aunt Zhao doesn't understand you, that's why she acted that way."
"She's just like my dad; she's terrified of any man getting close to me."
Lin Xiao remained silent for a long time before saying, "You don't understand me. You think too highly of me. I'm not as good as you think."
Meng Fanxue replied, "No matter what you are like, I think you are the best."
Lin Xiao sighed again, "Silly girl, never trust someone too much, otherwise you will get hurt."
"In this world, the only person you can trust is yourself."
Meng Fanxue fell silent.
After a moment, she spoke again, "Brother Lin Xiao, are you asleep?"
The only response she received was Lin Xiao's even breathing.
Seeing that he was asleep, Meng Fanxue had an idea and quietly propped herself up.
She looked at Lin Xiao's sleeping face, which was so close to hers.
My gaze fell on his lips.
She wanted to kiss him and see what it felt like.
But after thinking about it for a long time, she finally just placed a light kiss on his cheek.
Lin Xiao woke up almost instantly.
Realizing what Meng Fanxue was doing to him, he was both shocked and bewildered.
The little girl with pigtails from back then has grown up and is now making indecent advances towards her former savior...
A strange, romantic feeling welled up inside him.
Although separated by a long river of time, he still felt a strange sense of nurturing.
interesting.
However, Meng Fanxue did nothing more. Instead, she slowly curled up again, placed her little hand on Lin Xiao's waist, and slowly fell asleep.
Early on the third day, Meng Fanxue got up to do her morning exercise.
Seeing that her daughter was throwing herself into rehabilitation with unprecedented enthusiasm, Zhao Ma felt relieved.
So she instructed the cook, "Mr. Lin likes braised rice noodles, make him a bowl of beef braised rice noodles with plenty of toppings."
Not only that, Zhao Ma also scooped out a small bowl of her precious little jar of pickled bamboo shoots as a special ingredient for the braised rice noodles.
The cook was somewhat taken aback.
Yesterday, Aunt Zhao was unhappy that Mr. Lin had led Miss Lin astray by eating barbecue skewers, so why is she personally taking care of his food today?
Lin Xiaochen ran back, took a shower, and had breakfast with Meng Fanxue.
Meng Fanxue's breakfast was traditional nourishing porridge. Looking at Lin Xiao's large bowl of braised beef noodles, she said with some envy:
"Brother Lin Xiao, Aunt Zhao is getting nicer and nicer to you. She even takes out her favorite pickled bamboo shoots for you to eat."
Lin Xiao took a couple of bites and found that the pickled bamboo shoots were indeed very special. They were crisp and refreshing, with a moderate saltiness, making them the perfect seasoning for mixing with rice noodles.
"These pickled bamboo shoots are really delicious." As he spoke, Lin Xiao slurped up another big mouthful of rice noodles.
Meng Fanxue took a couple of bites of her own health-preserving porridge, but found it bland and tasteless. She pouted and said, "Brother, I want some too!"
Lin Xiao's heart tightened.
This girl knows how to manipulate people.
elder brother?
It sounds pretty good.
But he didn't show it on his face. He took a small bowl and gave one bowl to Meng Fanxue, then continued to slurp his noodles.
After breakfast, the two went for a stroll in the garden, basking in the sunshine and breathing in the fresh air.
Then, just like yesterday, Meng Fanxue worked while Lin Xiao read to pass the time.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Xiao took his leave, as he was going to Chu Yingying's place at 5 p.m. to settle things.
