After a full meal, Miss Lin brought Mr. Yan home.
It was the first time for her to bring a man into her house, so she felt a little embarrassed. She poured a glass of water for the man and went straight into the bathroom.
Yan Qicheng casually looked at Lin Xiaoshu's house. It was neat and orderly, with a light-colored style.
As he pushed open the door of the master bedroom, the corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile. As he expected, this should be Lin Xiaoshu's style—Childish.
The bed sheet was covered with pink bubble flowers, and there was a large beige panda at the head of the bed, a bedside table, a wardrobe, and a desk. There were cartoon pictures everywhere, and several windchimes hung on the lace window.
With a click, the bathroom door opened. Yan Qicheng turned around and saw her wearing a pajama set with pink dogs on it.
She was a mature yet naive and childlike girl. It should not be too boring if they live together in the future. Mr. Yan had always believed in his judgment.
"What are you looking at! Go and take a shower!" Miss Lin rubbed her hair as she came out. She saw the faint smile in Mr. Yan's eyes. His deep starry eyes were like a bottomless pool of lake water. Lin Xiaoshu was afraid that she would get lost if she looked at him a few more times.
She quickly knocked away Yan Qicheng and walked into the bedroom to sort out her things.
But how could her little actions escape from the eyes of the lieutenant colonel of the special forces of the scout?
"You can't wait? Look at you chasing me to take a shower." Yan Qicheng took a step, put his hands on both sides of Lin Xiaoshu, and whispered in the little woman's ear with his sexy and thin lips. His voice was charming and low.
Oh! Why did this man suddenly appear?
"Don't you make a sound when you walk? I don't understand what you're talking about." Lin Xiaoshu pushed Yan Qicheng away, opened the wardrobe, and took out a clean sheet and quilt.
"Hey, you sleep in the guest room tonight!" Lin Xiaoshu suddenly realized the man was dangerous.
Yan Qicheng accepted it and his expression became natural but serious. "Miss Lin, I don't think we should sleep together tonight."
The little woman's reaction was quite quick.
Lin Xiaoshu blinked a few times and finally got angry. "Yan Qicheng, aren't you too narcissistic?"
Lin Xiaoshu caught up with him and wanted to scratch him. Unfortunately, Mr. Yan had already closed the bathroom door.
Lin Xiaoshu was so angry that she scratched the door a few times.
"Do you want to shower again? Let's do it together. I don't mind." Yan Qicheng suddenly opened the door. He put one hand on the door and made an inviting gesture with the other.
Lin Xiaoshu was startled. What she saw was a tanned bare chest, well-defined abdominal muscles, and a slender waist... Miss Lin's little face instantly became blushed like a cooked shrimp.
"Why are you not wearing clothes? Ah... Ah..." Miss Lin ran back to the bedroom and slammed the door hard.
Yan Qicheng slowly turned on the tap and chuckled. His eyes were filled with the complacency of a child's success in doing evil things.
Was he flirting with a girl?
He hadn't done it for many years, and he had never smiled at a woman like this.
How many years had it been? The smile disappeared in an instant, as a graceful and beautiful figure in a white dress appeared and disappeared in front of the eyes of Yan Qicheng.
No, he couldn’t think about it anymore. He had taken this step and can't turn back. Yan Qicheng warned himself from the bottom of his heart.
He shook his head and wiped his face with water in his hands. Yan Qicheng continue bathing quickly as if he was in the army.
Lin Xiaoshu tossed and turned on the bed frequently.
"Lin Xiaoshu, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You are actually seduced by a man."
After living a peaceful life for more than 20 years, it was unbelievable that Lin Xiaoshu was so restless in front of the opposite sex for the first time.
"No, I'm not wrong. Otherwise, how could I have a baby?" Lin Xiaoshu suddenly sat up from the bed and defended herself. "Ah? Am I anxious to have a baby with him? ... It's over."
Then she lay back on the bed, covering her face with her hands and groaning.
Xiaoshu felt bitter and was in a bad mood. She was lost in thought on the bed and did not sleep well.
"I have a little donkey, and I never ride it..." Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Finally, it saved a girl who was self-doubting and was in conflict with herself.
"Girl, did you miss me? The night is long and lonely. You must be looking forward to my favor, right? Hahaha!" No one could expect that the icy beauty in the business world, Shen Yan, would do this in private. Of course, Shen Yan would only do this to a few people.
"Sir, I've already washed myself clean. Come on."
The two of them, who had been in cahoots with each other for many years, knew each other well.
"Baby, I can't wait, but my work..."
"Stop, I know. I haven't started to think about the main point of the winter wear yet, and it's useless for you to urge me. But I promise that I'll give you my ideas within a week, and I'll hand in the draft within a month."
In addition to being a teacher, Lin Xiaoshu had another identity—one of the famous fashion designers in the country.
Outsiders only knew about her works, but did not know who was the designer. She had never shown her face in public. On Google, people would not be able to find any of her personal information except for her stage name, Sky.
"I like the feelings you portrayed in your drafts.”
When they first met that year, Lin Xiaoshu and Shen Yan, her senior of the beauty academy of two years, had started a long journey of friendship since then.
Lin Xiaoshu would never forget Shen Yan's words, which gave her a glimmer of hope to live.
It was also because of Shen Yan's background and strength that Lin Xiaoshu began to step into the field of fashion design.
"Baby, you really win my heart. How have you been recently? Do you want me to come back to see you?" Shen Yan was currently developing in City D because of her family.
"No!" Lin Xiaoshu said with a guilty conscience.
"What? You are refusing me? Tell me, is there something fishy?" Shen Yan, the shrewd businesswoman, was a sensitive person.
"No, I'm just considerate of your busy work. Let's meet after you're done with your work." Lin Xiaoshu couldn't make up a story. Besides, she was her best friend, so she didn't want to worry her.
"Yan, let me tell you something. Be calm." Lin Xiaoshu swallowed her saliva.
Shen Yan put down her cup, sat upright, and stopped reading her report. Her intuition told her that something big had happened.
"I got married. Today."
"What? Are you kidding me? Is our senior, Xu, back?" Shen Yan asked anxiously.
She is not a reckless person. Didn’t she insisted on not getting married? Why did she suddenly mention marriage?"
"What are you talking about? What does it have to do with him? The guy is a soldier. We met this morning, and we got our marriage certificates in the afternoon." At this moment, Lin Xiaoshu was calm.
"I've already confirmed it, and I won't think about it anymore."
Marriage is a two-sided choice that the couple is willing to make. There's nothing to hide.
"Lin Xiaoshu, do you want to die? How dare you act rashly when it's such a big deal!"
"Yan, listen to me. A week ago, the school organized an all-round physical examination. The doctor said that I had ovary lesions. If I want to have a baby, I have to get pregnant within a year." Xiaoshu had accepted the fact, and she would not feel uncomfortable if she said it out loud. She could not avoid it, so she faced it bravely.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have come back to accompany you. How could a pure and well-behaved girl like you have a cervical disease?" Shen Yan choked with sobs and pressed the corners of her eyes. "Then, is he a good guy?"
"Well, you can't solve the problem even if you come back. Don't worry." Lin Xiaoshu made things clear, but she didn't want her good friend to worry too much.
"Hey, look at me. You just met him today. How do you know him?" Shen Yan laughed at herself. "Xiaoshu, try your best to be happy, understood?"
Even though she knew that Shen Yan couldn't see her, Lin Xiaoshu still nodded hard. "I'm strong. What am I afraid of? Yan, I'll be fine. Go to bed early."
"Well, I'll come back to see you in a while. Bye, goodnight!" Her only good friend met with difficulties, and Shen Yan couldn't be at ease.
Lin Xiaoshu hung up the phone and lay quietly on the bed. Thinking back to what had happened today, she seemed to have had a sweet dream.
Yes, a beautiful dream. The problem was solved initially, and the other party was someone who was much better than her.
One day, she had to call her grandmother and tell her that she had found a boyfriend. She couldn't tell her about the marriage so that her grandmother wouldn't worry about it. Before sleeping, Lin Xiaoshu thought so.
The moonlight filtered through the tiny gap in the curtains and illuminated the whole room.
The master bedroom was immersed in the quietness of the night, with only soft and peaceful breathing.
Next door was also quiet, except for the man's eyes, which were still open.
The man's buff body was like a wolf lurking in the darkness, ready to move at any time.
The morning sun shone on her face in early spring. The heat woke her up from her sleep.
Lin Xiaoshu slowly opened her misty eyes and stared blankly at a point on the roof, as if she didn't know what year it was.
Wait, why were there other sounds in the house?
Miss Lin suddenly jumped up from the bed with her heart racing. She held her mobile phone tightly with one hand and gently opened the door with the other.
