Lin Shen went to the guest room and opened the wardrobe, which was half full of clothes, including pajamas and clothes for going out, such as shirts, sweaters, and coats.
Of course, there are also underwear available.
Lin Shen stood in front of the wardrobe for a while before going to take a shower with a smile.
So when Xia Wenxi came up and knocked on the door, Lin Shen was still in the bathroom and didn't hear her.
She didn't wash her hair today, and took a very quick shower before coming up to knock on Lin Shen's door.
After knocking on the door and receiving no answer, Xia Wenxi pressed the doorknob and found that it could be opened. Once the door was open, she could clearly hear the sound of running water from the bathroom. Xia Wenxi thought to herself that this was truly a stroke of luck for her!
Suddenly, the sound of water stopped.
Xia Wenxi was afraid of being overheard, so her efforts were ineffective. She even took off her slippers and carried them in her hand when she entered the room, but then she froze in shock.
The guest room wasn't very big, so when Lin Shen came out of the bathroom, the entire room would be completely visible, leaving her nowhere to hide.
Xia Wenxi looked down at the floor under the bed. The wooden bed frame was so low that it was impossible for a person to squeeze in.
Hearing the sound of a hairdryer coming from inside, Xia Wenxi started to panic. She carefully circled the room, her eyes sweeping over the wardrobe before decisively looking away.
Forget it, it's too terrifying for someone to pop out of the closet. Even though Lin Shen has a healthy heart, he might not be able to withstand that kind of fright.
Lin Shen finished drying her hair and came out of the bathroom. She was already neatly dressed in her pajamas, which Xia Wenxi had bought for her.
Xia Wenxi, who was peeking through the crack from the shadows, felt a pang of regret. Where was the legendary bath towel?
She should have just not bought pajamas at all.
Lin Shen, wearing slippers, reached for his phone on the bedside table, pausing for a moment as his gaze swept across the curtains.
He thought he saw the curtains move slightly?
Xia Wenxi watched him pick up his phone and silently laugh behind the curtains. Luckily, she had silenced the phone before coming in.
That's right, she's hiding behind the curtains right now. She almost missed this perfect spot—the bay window behind the curtains!
What a perfect hiding place! Even if he slept there for one night, Lin Shen probably wouldn't find him.
Xia Wenxi thought about it for a while, letting her imagination run wild, and then she came to her senses and found that there was no more movement from Lin Shen.
Is she asleep?
Wouldn't it be awkward for her to jump out at this moment? But if she doesn't jump out, is she supposed to sleep on the bay window all night?
After hesitating for three seconds, Xia Wenxi spoke softly, calling out "Lin Shen".
Xia Wenxi was only thinking that it would be scary if someone jumped out of the closet, but she didn't expect that someone would call her name in an empty room in the middle of the night. It was absolutely terrifying!
When Lin Shen first heard it, he thought he was hallucinating, but it was clear that under normal circumstances, there would be no such problem.
He remembered the curtains that had moved slightly earlier, and as if sensing something, he walked towards the window.
As Xia Wenxi heard his footsteps getting closer, she simply pulled open the curtains.
Good evening, Lin Shen.
She waved with a bright smile, then waited for Lin Shen's reaction.
Having confirmed his suspicions, Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sitting on the bay window with slippers beside her.
Xia Wenxi felt a little frustrated when she saw him smile. Even if she wasn't terrified, she should at least be surprised, right?
"Why aren't you scared?"
Xia Wenxi stretched out her legs, ready to get off the ground, but Lin Shen grabbed her foot and put a slipper on her.
"Fearful."
"Liar, I don't see any fear in you."
Xia Wenxi vented her personal anger by reaching out and parting Lin Shen's hair in the middle.
"I'm not lying to you, I was indeed startled when I heard someone call my name, but you didn't see it."
Xia Wenxi hummed twice, neither saying whether she believed it or not, but at least she found a way to back down.
She stood up in her slippers, but after taking a couple of steps, she sat back down on the bed.
"Aren't you sleepy now?"
"It's Lunar New Year's Eve today, are you sure you want to send me to bed, Lin Shen?"
"Hmm...actually, it's already the first day of the Lunar New Year." Lin Shen looked down at Xia Wenxi and asked her with a smile, "Do you want to sleep here?"
"No, that's not it. I couldn't sleep, so I came up to hang out with you for a bit. Let's watch a movie."
Xia Wenxi turned on the projector and took out her phone to select a movie.
"Your guest rooms are very well prepared."
"Because I pretended!"
After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she looked up and saw Lin Shen smiling at her. She knew that he had said it on purpose, and that he had known all along.
After randomly selecting a movie, I was so angry and embarrassed that I lightly kicked him.
"Don't laugh!"
The foot that had been kicked in the leg was caught, and Xia Wenxi, not to be outdone, went up and tickled Lin Shen's armpits. After the two of them had a bit of a tiff, even the bed sheet was all crumpled up.
Xia Wenxi was lying in bed when she suddenly burst out laughing.
Before she could finish laughing, Lin Shen leaned down and gave her a light kiss.
The smile then moved from their lips to their eyes, and as they looked at each other, they saw themselves reflected in each other's pupils.
Slowly moving closer, gradually enlarging the sensation, Xia Wenxi finally closed her eyes, feeling the softness on her lips.
——Ten minutes later
Lin Shen looked down at Xia Wenxi. She was the one who said she wanted to watch a movie, but now she's the one sleeping soundly.
Lin Shen carefully picked her up and carried her back to her room to sleep.
When I brought the baby back, I saw that the little fish had already taken over the middle of the bed and was sleeping sprawled out.
No wonder they say that a child resembles the parent they raise. Lin Shen recalled that Xia Wenxi often slept like this, lying in the middle of the bed with her arms and legs outstretched.
And he wasn't alert at all. He had already put Xia Wenxi to bed, but neither she nor the cat woke up.
When Xia Wenxi woke up again, it was already past 10 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Now no one cared if she slept in on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and no one came to wake her up.
She realized she was in her own bed in her room, and knew that Lin Shen must have brought her back again.
Xia Wenxi sent Lin Shen a WeChat message on her phone, and after learning that he was having breakfast downstairs, she got up, washed up, and went downstairs as well.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw a bizarre scene: Lin Shen was actually having breakfast with Xia Wensheng!
Compared to this, eating breakfast at 10 a.m. is nothing.
Xia Wenxi rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
Xia Wenxi walked over and sat down next to Lin Shen. Looking at Xia Wensheng across from her, she asked, "Why did you come back?"
Xia Wensheng chuckled, "How novel! This is my home, and you're asking me why I'm back? Why don't you ask Lin Shen why he's here?"
Xia Wenxi glared back, "I brought Lin Shen back, do you have a problem with that?"
"Forget it, it's Chinese New Year, we can't argue."
Xia Wenxi was still thinking about seeing the police last night and wanted to tell her parents about it.
"Aren't Mom and Dad back yet?"
"No." However, Xia Wensheng knew his parents quite well, and he guessed, "Maybe they just went to their uncle's house and won't come back today or tomorrow."
