In this house, apart from Xu Zhengxi, no one dared to enter her room without knocking.
The footsteps grew closer, then one side of the bed sank down, and he sat down beside her.
Xu Zhe pulled back the blanket, revealing half of his head.
Xu Zhengxi in front of me had taken a shower, and his black bathrobe was loosely open, revealing his firm lines.
Her hair, which was always meticulously styled, now had a strand of wet hair falling across her forehead.
Cold and alluring, full of sexual tension.
Does it hurt?
He parted his thin lips slightly, uttering ambiguous words in a cool tone.
"Um."
Xu Zhe dared not look him in the eye.
"Get up and take your medicine."
He reached out and helped her up, then pinched a white pill in his palm and put it into her mouth.
Xu Zhe took the water glass from the bedside table and obediently swallowed it.
"Painkillers?"
She asked it casually.
Xu Zhengxi did not answer immediately, but instead brushed aside the long hair that was stuck to her face.
"Sleeping pills?"
To cover his embarrassment, Xu Zhe continued to ask.
"Childlike mentality."
Xu Zhengxi curled her lips, the coldness in her eyes fading slightly.
She didn't understand, so she asked what kind of medicine it was and why she was acting like a child.
Xu Zhengxi continued to fiddle with her hair: "Where did you go today?"
Xu Zhe's heart skipped a beat.
"I went to the bookstore with my classmates."
She deliberately only said "classmate" without mentioning his name, hoping he wouldn't ask any further questions.
"Which classmate?" Xu Zhengxi pressed.
Xu Zhe dared not say that Xu Zhengxi had explicitly forbidden him from associating with that person.
Before she could find a shield, the person in front of her had already pressed down on her.
My lips hurt, and the base of my tongue feels numb...
After a long while, Xu Zhengxi finished punishing him. While wiping the water stains off Xu Zhe's lips with her fingertips, she warned, "You're not allowed to go again!"
"Why?!" Xu Zhe blurted out. She didn't understand. It was perfectly normal to associate with classmates, so why did they have to control her?!
Xu Zhengxi lowered his eyes, suppressing the urge to punish her further; he couldn't go too far the first time.
"Go to sleep." He didn't answer, but instead reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, then left the room.
Xu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. He was probably exhausted from all the commotion and quickly fell asleep.
She was not awakened by the servant until the sun was high in the sky.
"Miss Zhe, Miss Zhe."
The maid gently knocked on the door to wake her up.
Xu Zhe rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. He opened the door and saw Aunt Lin standing there.
What time is it?
Xu Zhe turned and went to the restroom, casually asking her.
"It's past noon, lunch is ready."
As Aunt Lin spoke, she walked in and began tidying up the room.
"Where is the young master?"
Xu Zhe asked, leaning against the bathroom door with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"Young Master has gone on a business trip."
Aunt Lin continued with her work.
The people in the house were all brought by Xu Zhengxi from the old Xu family mansion, so everyone still called him Young Master.
But they didn't call her "Miss", they called her "Miss Zhe".
The Xu family has strict rules, and since she is not a true member of the Xu family, she cannot be addressed as "Miss".
Xu Zhe stopped brushing his teeth: "Business trip?"
The person who just returned from a business trip yesterday has left again today.
We set off early this morning.
Aunt Lin drew back the bedroom curtains and opened the window to ventilate the room.
"Young Master instructed us not to disturb you and to let you get enough sleep. But you can't stay hungry forever. After you've washed up, please come downstairs for dinner."
Given Aunt Lin's age, I can't help but talk to her like a child.
After all, when Xu Zhe first came to this house, he was indeed still a child who had not yet reached adulthood.
Xu Zhe moved his lunch to the garden.
Xu Zhengxi's house is quite nice, a rare single-story villa with a large area.
The front and back yards are beautifully maintained, lush and verdant.
After dinner, Xu Zhe leisurely stayed in the garden, basking in the sun.
"Miss Zhe, there's a package for you." The butler handed over a package.
Xu Zhe frowned immediately upon seeing the printed cover of the package.
