"I really have to go home, little Lin Shen."
Xia Wenxi smiled and nudged the person lying on her lap. Lin Shen had been "progressing" rapidly lately, and his coquettishness had evolved from simple words to a combination of words and actions.
For example, right now—
Together, the two transformed Lin Shen's home from a drab, uninspired show flat into what it is now... a festive new residence.
Couplets are pasted on the outside, and a "May all your wishes come true" ornament is placed in the entrance hall. New Year window decorations are pasted on the windows, and the character "福" (fortune) is pasted on the door, striving to make people want to say "Happy New Year" as soon as they enter the door.
The entire process took one hour.
Xia Wenxi told her mother that she was going to go home when she left today.
As soon as she sat down to rest and watch some variety shows, Lin Shen also came close and lay down on her lap!
Xia Wenxi looked down at him, and unconsciously started to tug at Lin Shen's hair.
He touched his own, then touched Lin Shen's.
In the novels Xia Wenxi had read before, the male protagonist's hair was described as stiff and prickly, but Lin Shen's was not like that.
His hair, like hers, felt soft to the touch. If he didn't style it, it would just lie down softly, covering his forehead.
However, Xia Wenxi thought of Lin Shen, who usually combed his hair back and exposed his forehead when he was outside.
Xia Wenxi couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Lin Shen standing in front of the mirror and fiddling with his hair every morning before going to work.
So I asked him, "How long do you spend doing your hair every morning?"
Lin Shen could tell what she was thinking when he saw her touching her hair and laughing.
"Once you get the hang of it, two or three minutes is enough."
He always went to the same barber and rarely changed his hairstyle. When he first joined the company, he didn't actually have a personal hairdresser, but after joining, he was constantly criticized by the older members of the board for being too young and inexperienced.
Of course, changing your hairstyle doesn't necessarily mean gaining experience, but it at least makes him look more mature.
“Our CEO Lin looks very young. People would believe you if you said you were a college student.”
To be honest, the thing Lin Shen was most often told about in the company was that he was too young. The board members didn't believe that such a young man could manage the Lin Group well.
He can't change his age, so he can only try to become more mature and stable.
So he really hasn't heard anyone praise him for looking young in a long time; most of the time, people say he's mature and composed.
Lin Shen lay on his back, looking at Xia Wenxi's face—fair, rosy, and radiant. A face that looked much younger than his own.
Lin Shen used to be troubled by his "too young" age, and after falling in love with Wen Xi, he was troubled by the age gap between them.
“You know what? When we first got together, I read a lot of articles about midlife crises and the fate of older men and younger women. I read so many that they were remembered by big data. During that time, I really felt anxious about my age.”
When Lin Shen talks about the word "anxiety" now, he does so casually, but he knows that "anxiety" has really existed.
Xia Wenxi's eyes widened slightly in surprise after hearing what he said.
Lin Shen had indeed said something like that before, about the age gap between the two of them, but reading articles like this... caused Xia Wenxi anxiety, things she didn't know.
Since Lin Shen used the word "anxiety," it means that he is not just a little bothered by it.
Xia Wenxi thought for a moment and comforted Lin Shen with her own real experience.
"I'm the one you're with. Actually, I don't think the age gap between us has caused any problems. And like I just said, our Xiaolin is still very young!"
"Yes, I do feel younger after being with you."
Xia Wenxi gently stroked the corner of Lin Shen's eye with her thumb; there were no wrinkles left by time there.
"So what were those articles about that made you so anxious?"
Lin Shen pursed his lips and remained silent, as if to say something like, "I have nothing to say."
But since Lin Shen didn't say anything, Xia Wenxi became curious instead.
She didn't press Lin Shen for answers, but instead frowned and pondered.
This article must contain something that Lin Shen finds difficult to talk about...
Xia Wenxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"You didn't see anything that says men can't perform after thirty, did you?"
Lin Shen didn't show any particular expression, but Xia Wenxi still confirmed it by his blinking.
It must be something like this.
Seeing the excited expression on his girlfriend's face, Lin Shen said with a wry smile, "Are we going to discuss whether I'm capable or not at this time?"
Lin Shen understood the girl's curiosity about the opposite sex's physiology. Most people do not receive enough sex education, or even any sex education at all.
Most people understand "sex" not because of parental guidance or school education, but because of instinctive curiosity.
They are curious about themselves and also about the opposite sex.
only--
"You just told me you were going home later."
"Do you intend to do *that* in broad daylight? Calm down, Mr. Lin. It's just a few words, you don't need to go that far, do you?"
"It's because the person is my lover, so it's not a big deal," Lin Shen joked to himself. "I guess this is also proof that I'm still okay."
"You're not even thirty yet, prove it next year."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shen turned his head to the side and buried his face in Xia Wenxi's lower abdomen, letting out a muffled laugh.
Because it was warm inside, Xia Wenxi was dressed lightly, wearing only a fitted thin knit sweater.
As Lin Shen breathed, his breath seeped through the gaps in the knitted fabric, as if spraying onto her stomach.
"itch……"
Xia Wenxi felt a ticklish sensation that made her want to laugh, so she kept trying to back away.
Lin Shen kissed Xia Wenxi's belly through her clothes, which resulted in a cute contraction in her stomach.
"Are you really going home, Wenxi?"
"I will go back... I promised my mom... I'll go with her to pick out clothes tomorrow."
Because she was a little itchy, Xia Wenxi spoke haltingly, and her face turned red.
"Okay, then let me hold you for a while."
Lin Shen stopped moving and simply stayed quietly close to Xia Wenxi.
Xia Wenxi, feeling utterly bored, started playing with Lin Shen's hair, eyebrows, ears, and mouth...
"Wenxi".
"Um?"
"You forgot, I'm not even thirty yet."
Xia Wenxi's mischievous hand was caught and lightly bitten.
After a while, Xia Wenxi leaned down and whispered something in Lin Shen's ear.
In the blink of an eye, their positions were reversed, and Xia Wenxi was now looking up at Lin Shen.
Because Xia Wenxi said, "It's okay to go home a little later."
So Lin Shen said, "I'll take you home before 8 p.m.
What time is it?
"It's almost five o'clock."
