Xia Wenxi turned off her phone and saw her own face on the black screen. After hearing Lin Shen's words, she held up the phone to show her face.
"Oh my, I'm so beautiful! No wonder Mr. Lin fell in love with me at first sight."
On the screen, a pair of smiling eyes appeared.
love at first sight?
Lin Shen originally didn't believe in this. He didn't believe that he could develop feelings for someone just by meeting them once.
But life is often just that interesting.
Thinking back to the first time I met Wenxi, although it wasn't love at first sight, the first glance did set the stage for attraction, waiting to be ignited slowly after meeting her again and again.
The two figures gradually drew closer together...
But five minutes later, Xia Wenxi actually yawned slightly.
Lin Shen was now almost certain that his skills were not very good.
But actually, Xia Wenxi was just going through a biological clock break. She usually takes a nap at noon, otherwise her afternoon studies would be completely inefficient.
Xia Wenxi naturally didn't notice the strange expression on Lin Shen's face.
Lin Shen even asked her, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you take a nap? I'm going downstairs to talk to Wen Sheng about company matters."
She nodded honestly, "I am a little sleepy, then I'll take a nap."
She figured Lin Shen wasn't an outsider, so she didn't need to treat him like an ordinary guest and have him stay with her all the time. Besides, Xia Wensheng was downstairs.
However, she didn't plan to sleep for long, so she set an alarm for 45 minutes.
Xia Wenxi went into the bedroom, and Lin Shen did not follow her in. He watched her wave and close the bedroom door before getting up and leaving.
When Lin Shen came downstairs, Xia Wensheng was playing a soccer game out of boredom. He saw him out of the corner of his eye and called out, "Why are you coming down alone?"
"Wenxi takes a nap."
As Lin Shen spoke, he sat down on the sofa and casually picked up the already awakened Xiaoyuer and placed her on his lap.
Little Fish hadn't seen Lin Shen for a while, but it was clear that it might still have some memories of the past. After standing up and sniffing twice, it lay down again on the spot.
"Want to play a game?"
Xia Wensheng handed over the game controller.
Lin Shen shook his head and didn't answer.
"I won't."
Xia Wensheng didn't say anything upon hearing this, and turned his head back to continue playing by himself, but soon he turned back with wide eyes.
This time, they were focusing on the wound on Lin Shen's mouth.
When the two first entered, he was filled with resentment and didn't notice anything. Now, seeing him, he subconsciously assumed it was the wound caused by the two upstairs.
One's own loneliness is certainly sad, but the happiness of acquaintances is even more devastating.
Xia Wensheng couldn't help but sigh with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Tsk! Young people these days!"
Lin Shen gently touched the wound with the back of his hand. It was almost healed, but the rubbing just now seemed to have made it thaw a little...
It doesn't hurt, but it's a little itchy, itchy on my lips, and it feels like it's also itchy in my heart.
"...Lin Shen, I think you should look at your own expression right now."
Xia Wensheng turned his head again and saw Lin Shen smiling, looking incredibly happy. It was such a bizarre scene...
This scene is definitely worth capturing and selling to competitors.
Upon hearing Xia Wensheng's words, Lin Shen's expression immediately returned to normal, as if the expression he had just made wasn't something he had put on.
After that, the two fell silent again.
Xia Wensheng turned back to stare at the game on the TV screen until the game ended.
"I can tell that Wenxi likes you a lot. Actually, you should treat us like real siblings, like real siblings who like to bicker. Don't overthink it."
Xia Wensheng's eyes remained fixed ahead, as if his words were just casual remarks. However, both of them now knew that his words were not spoken lightly.
When Lin Shen and Xia Wenxi first entered the room, Xia Wensheng and Xia Wenxi were arguing, and at that moment Xia Wensheng noticed Lin Shen's expression.
They were both men, and he was all too familiar with that expression.
At first, he thought it was quite funny. He had never seen Lin Shen like this before, getting jealous over relationships and even jealous of him.
"It's normal to only realize what true love is in your twenties, right?"
Xia Wensheng had barely uttered a couple of normal sentences when he started insulting people again.
"Especially the kind of brain that Xia Wenxi has, who barely passes his final exams."
Xia Wensheng said all this because he didn't want his sister and Lin Shen to develop any further rifts over this. After all, keeping some things bottled up inside can become a ticking time bomb.
Who knows when this bomb will explode?
Therefore, it's better to just detonate it now.
Xia Wensheng had already put his words to this point, so Lin Shen certainly understood his intentions.
"I understand, brother."
This time, Xia Wensheng didn't say anything after hearing the word "brother," but responded very naturally.
Xia Wensheng patted Lin Shen on the shoulder, "It's good that you know. It's really nothing. I'm a man too. I've been in relationships before, so I understand. It would be really strange if you weren't jealous at all."
My daughter Huanhuan once told me that sometimes being "petty" isn't a bad thing. Being petty just means our hearts are already filled with one person.
Forty-five minutes later, Xia Wenxi was woken up by the alarm clock on time. After getting up, she washed her face and was fully awake before going downstairs.
When I got behind the sofa, I stopped and looked at the two people in front of me who were completely engrossed in the game.
Because each of them had a controller, they were playing the game very enthusiastically.
They even gave each other a high five after the victory.
Of the three creatures, the first to notice her was the little fish lying on the back of the sofa, which raised its head and meowed at her.
Even with all this noise, they don't run away. Their little fish is definitely not an ordinary cat!
"Are you awake?"
Lin Shen turned around and saw her, so he moved to the middle to make room for her.
Xia Wenxi walked over and sat down. "You two seem to be getting along quite well."
Just now, before she went downstairs, she was wondering if the two of them were sitting on the sofa, each holding a cup of coffee, chatting about economic trends, company management, and other such topics.
Xia Wenxi reminded herself to break free from the professional filter.
Who says CEOs can't play video games?!
"We've been having a great time, haven't we?"
Lin Shen nodded, handed the game controller to Xia Wenxi, and asked her if she wanted to play.
Xia Wenxi also declined... because she simply didn't know how.
"I'll cook dinner tonight. Do you have any vegetables at home?"
Let's go take a look together!
Xia Wenxi pulled Lin Shen along to "explore" the kitchen.
Xia Wensheng, with a dark expression, shoved the other controller into Xiaoyuer's arms.
"They're not playing, you play."
