Aunt Dai and Grandma Dai watched them with smiles, occasionally chiming in with a few words, filling the room with laughter.
"Sister-in-law, I used that beauty pill that your mom gave me last time. Do you think my skin looks great?" Dai Xingyu stretched her face forward with a big smile, eager to get Shen Xiaoxiao's approval.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully examined Dai Xingyu's face. Her skin was delicate and smooth, like a peeled egg, and the original minor blemishes had disappeared without a trace.
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "Not bad, your skin is very good and smooth."
Liang Xinxing, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and pointed to her face, saying, "Xiaoxiao, look, my wrinkles are all gone! This beauty pill is truly amazing!"
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Liang Xinxing and noticed that her face was indeed much smoother, and the fine lines that were originally there were less noticeable.
She smiled and said, "It seems these beauty pills are very effective for both of you!"
"I've made a lot again this time!" Shen Xiaoxiao said, taking out several large bottles of beauty pills from her bag and handing them to Dai Xingyu and Liang Xinxing. "You two take these and use them first. Come back to me when you're done."
Dai Xingyu and Liang Xinxing were overjoyed and quickly accepted the bottle, expressing their gratitude.
Dai Xingyu was overjoyed. She took a large bottle and said happily, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you're so kind!"
With a smile, Shen Xiaoxiao gently took out a large bottle from her bag and carefully handed it to Grandma Dai sitting next to her, her eyes revealing sincerity. "Grandma Dai, this was specially prepared for you."
Grandma Dai looked at the sensible little girl in front of her and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart, but she quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Oh, I don't need this. It would be a waste to give me such a good thing."
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Grandma, please don't say that. How can this be considered a waste? After you use it, your skin will definitely become much better, and this is also a small token of my appreciation." After saying that, she didn't care whether Grandma Dai was willing or not, and forced the bottle into Grandma Dai's hand.
"You're so thoughtful, little girl," Grandma Dai said with a smile, patting Chen Xiaoxiao's hand.
After dinner, as night fell, Shen Xiaoxiao bid farewell to everyone in the Dai family, and then strolled side by side with Dai Xingyun back to their residence.
Upon reaching the door, Dai Xingyun stopped, turned around, and said gently to Shen Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you go in first and get some rest?"
“I’ll come find you again tomorrow morning, and we’ll go to school together.” His voice was deep and magnetic, making people feel incredibly at ease.
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head and gazed into Dai Xingyun's eyes. She asked with some concern, "Are you still going home?"
Dai Xingyun smiled slightly and replied softly, "I'm not going back. I live right next door to you, it's very close."
A huge weight was lifted from Shen Xiaoxin's heart. A smile appeared on her face, and she said cheerfully, "Then I'm going in now. Goodnight!"
Before she finished speaking, she took small steps into the room and then gently closed the door with a smile on her face.
Time flies, and a night passes in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, as the sun was just rising above the horizon and the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Shen Xiaoxiao got up early as usual.
She quickly changed into sportswear, walked to the center of the living room, and began practicing boxing.
As each movement unfolded, Shen Xiaoxiao's breathing gradually became steady and deep, as she became completely absorbed in the rhythm of the boxing technique.
As she finished her last move, Shen Xiaoxiao was slightly out of breath, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Just as she was about to rest for a while, a soft knocking sound suddenly reached her ears.
Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise, looked towards the door, and thought: So early.
The moment the door opened, Dai Xingyun's face appeared before Shen Xiaoxiao. He was carrying a breakfast bag in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, seemingly already used to Shen Xiaoxiao getting up early.
"Go wash up quickly, I'll wait for you to have breakfast together," Dai Xingyun said gently, shaking the breakfast bag in her hand.
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Dai Xingyun would never listen to her and go eat breakfast first, so she didn't say anything more and just smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
After saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind and quickly finished washing up.
When she came out again, her hair was still wet, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks.
Dai Xingyun was sitting at the dining table, holding a book in his hand, reading intently.
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's footsteps, he quickly looked up and frowned when he saw her wet hair. "Why did you come out without drying your hair again? You'll catch a cold like that."
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously and explained, "I was just worried you'd have to wait too long!"
"Next time, make sure to dry your hair before coming out. It's so cold outside, what if you catch a cold?" Dai Xingyun's tone was a mix of reproach and concern. After saying that, he walked straight into the bathroom.
Shen Xiaoxiao stood there, somewhat dazed, still reeling from Dai Xingyun's sudden concern and tenderness.
A short while later, Dai Xingyun came out with two dry towels.
He walked behind Shen Xiaoxiao and gently placed one of the towels on her wet hair.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt a warmth coming from the top of her head; it was the heat from the towel and the temperature of Dai Xingyun's palm.
Dai Xingyun's fingers ran through her long hair, the movements so gentle that it was as if her hair were a fragile treasure that needed to be carefully protected.
"You're going out with your hair still wet, be careful not to catch a cold." Dai Xingyun's voice was deep and gentle, sounding in her ear like a spring breeze gently brushing against her earlobe.
Shen Xiaoxiao's heart couldn't help but race. Through the mirror, she saw Dai Xingyun's focused profile.
His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes focused and serious, completely absorbed in the act of drying her hair.
Shen Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Dai Xingyun in the mirror, afraid that he would discover her embarrassment.
The towel was soaked with water, so Dai Xingyun changed to a dry one and continued wiping. His movements remained gentle, as if he were afraid of hurting Shen Xiaoxiao.
Looking at their overlapping figures in the mirror, Shen Xiaoxiao thought about how they met, fell in love, and how he had always been tolerant and loving towards her.
"Xingyun, why are you so good to me?" Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and hugged Dai Xingyun tightly.
Dai Xingyun was clearly not prepared for this sudden embrace. His body tensed up for a moment, but he quickly relaxed.
