"What?"
Xia Wenxi's gaze followed Lin Shen's movements to the suitcase that had been placed in the entryway when he entered.
Lin Shen opened his suitcase in front of Xia Wenxi, and Xia Wenxi glanced at it curiously, only to be shocked by how neatly it was arranged inside.
"Have you ever taken any housekeeping classes?"
She can cook and organize, Lin Shen is definitely a top-notch nanny!
Lin Shen didn't understand at first, but he realized it when he saw her gaze fixed on the clothes in his suitcase.
He then added, "Miss Xia, you can contact me if you need anything in the future. It's free of charge."
He took out a storage bag from another compartment of the suitcase, and Xia Wenxi could vaguely see what looked like a pair of shoes inside.
After Lin Shen took out the shoes, Xia Wenxi was stunned. This wasn't...
"Aren't these the pairs I wore to Niu Niu's house before?"
The shoes had a small bite mark on the surface from the dog, and since she didn't have many occasions where she needed to dress that formally afterward, the shoes were put away and she never wore them again.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shen bought a new pair.
Lin Shen picked up his shoes and walked up to Xia Wenxi. When he knelt on one knee, Xia Wenxi almost stood up from the sofa.
However, his ankle was already being pulled, so the attempt failed.
So Xia Wenxi could only stare blankly as her right foot was taken out of the slipper and then put on a pair of new low-cut lambskin shoes.
After putting on her shoes, Xia Wenxi's feet were not put back on the ground, but instead, under Lin Shen's guidance, they were gently placed on his knees.
From Xia Wenxi's perspective, it was as if she was standing on Lin Shen's knees, while Lin Shen was kneeling in front of her.
Logically speaking, this should have been a rather romantic and slightly erotic scene, if Xia Wenxi hadn't been wearing those "pure cotton cute puppy embroidered cartoon ins" socks.
Through the act of stepping, Xia Wenxi, a well-read man, began to think about many things.
After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask Lin Shen in a low voice, "Do you have any special preferences?"
"Preferences?"
Lin Shen didn't know which aspect she was referring to.
Xia Wenxi paused for a moment, lifted her right foot, and then gently stepped back down.
"Like this?"
Lin Shen suddenly realized that he had been invited to several gatherings of second-generation rich kids in the entertainment industry during his university years. In places with many men, people often talked about all sorts of things, and although he didn't say anything, he had heard a lot about it.
He was certain he didn't have any particular hobbies, but at this moment, the object of his attention was Wenxi.
Lin Shen, on the contrary, became uncertain.
If Wenxi likes it, that seems like a good idea?
So Lin Shen asked her in return, "You like it?"
Xia Wenxi quickly shook her head. She didn't like it; she just thought Lin Shen liked it. But his expression seemed normal, so he probably didn't have that kind of hobby.
Lin Shen tried to put the other leg on for her, but Xia Wenxi refused and pulled her right leg back as well.
Crossing one leg is sexual tension; crossing both legs is like warming yourself by a fire in winter.
Xia Wenxi wiggled her toes to feel it out and found that the size was just right.
"You didn't remember my size back then, did you?"
Lin Shen didn't answer the question. Instead, he said, "I wanted to give you these shoes for your birthday, but given my status at that time, it would have been too presumptuous of me to give you shoes."
This is essentially tacitly acknowledging Xia Wenxi's question from earlier.
Yes.
——
At 8 p.m., Lin Shen escorted Xia Wenxi home.
"Are your aunt and uncle still not back?"
"Um."
Xia Wenxi's tone held a hint of envy, "They've gone to another city to see the sea again, they probably won't be able to go home for a few more days."
Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan are now completely at ease. Their daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and their son is hardworking and capable. It's time for them to enjoy their happiness.
"My parents said that I should go out and travel while I can still walk, so that I won't have no photos to look back on when I can't walk anymore in the future."
Hearing her tone, Lin Shen comforted her, "What your uncle and aunt said makes a lot of sense. After you finish your re-examination next March, you'll have a long time to play from September when school starts."
"President Lin, the preliminary test hasn't even started yet, and you're already talking about the second round? Blindly trusting someone is not a good idea."
"I'm not blindly trusting."
Lin Shen had seen how hard Wenxi studied. Despite being prone to motion sickness, she would use her phone to memorize vocabulary even while on the bus.
With the car windows open, Lin Shen drove as smoothly as possible.
Xia Wenxi flicked the mint in her mouth with her tongue; Lin Shen had given it to her before she got in the car.
The evening breeze in October was neither too hot nor too cold, and it felt very comfortable blowing in through the window.
"Thank you, Lin Shen."
She didn't say thank you, but sometimes, things don't need to be said too explicitly; she knew Lin Shen would understand.
Get some rest tonight, see you next time.
After Xia Wenxi unbuckled her seatbelt, she leaned over and gave him a minty kiss, then waved and got out of the car.
Xia Wenxi stepped onto the steps, turned back to wave goodbye to Lin Shen, and then entered her home.
The house was quiet, but while Xia Wenxi was bending down to change her shoes, Butler Zhou and Aunt Li appeared together.
This had happened several times, and Xia Wenxi was no longer startled by the sudden appearance of two people.
"Miss's back?! Did you have a good date? Want some late-night snacks?"
"I had a great time on my date! But I don't need a late-night snack, I ate a lot for dinner. Aunt Li, Uncle Zhou, you should get some rest too."
After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she went upstairs to her room to take a shower. It was only a little past nine o'clock when she finished showering, so she went to the study.
As soon as I sat down, I received a picture from Lin Shen. There were two glass vases filled with flowers on the previously empty island table.
Before Lin Shen got home, he made a special detour to a supermarket near his home and bought two vases to take home.
Halfway there, I received a call from Wei Shaoan.
"Old Xu is going back to China in a couple of days, shall we throw a welcome-back party for him?"
Xu Zhenghuai was also one of Lin Shen's college roommates. After graduating from college, he went to France and stayed there. He hasn't been back for many years.
He naturally informed his two old friends, Lin Shen and Wei Shaoan, about his upcoming return. Back then, there were four of them in their dormitory, plus Song Wang, who is now in the United States.
Lin Shen picked out two vases and put them in his shopping cart. The supermarket didn't have many styles of vases, but the simple and elegant ones were quite nice.
"Zheng Huai said he came back because of something. Let's contact him again to arrange a time when he arrives."
The supermarket's loudspeaker was broadcasting evening promotions, and Lin Shen's voice, along with the announcement, reached Wei Shaoan through the receiver.
He asked in confusion, "Are you in a supermarket?"
When Wei Shaoan was pursuing his wife, he accompanied her to the supermarket a few times and still remembers that sound.
Lin Shen smiled and said, "Wenxi gave me flowers, but we don't have any vases at home, so I came out to buy two."
Wei Shaoan: ...
"Old Xu should really take a good look at the state you've become."
Why are you showing off to him?! He has a wife and daughter, does Lin Shen have any?
