"Brother..."

"Hmm? You called me brother?"

Xu Lin was taken aback.

The last time Xia Xiyao had her butt smacked by Xu Lin, and now she reflexively called him brother.

She herself blushed immediately, not expecting to call him brother without even thinking.

Even though the room was dark, Xia Xiyao's shyness was still visible to Xu Lin.

At this moment, Xia Xiyao didn't dare to speak or even look at Xu Lin.

As for Xu Lin?

He felt a bit awkward too, giving Xia Xiyao's butt another smack.

"Brother!"

"..."

"Why are you calling me brother?"

"I..."

Xia Xiyao was too scared to speak, her mind went blank.

In a moment of impulsiveness, she bit her lip and suddenly leaned over to plant a kiss on Xu Lin's lips.

Even though it was just a peck, Xu Lin was stunned.

What the hell!

What's happening?

After kissing, Xia Xiyao quickly turned and hurried back to her room.

But who was Xu Lin?

"Stop!"

Xu Lin shouted.

Xia Xiyao really stopped running.

"Come back!"

Xia Xiyao walked back timidly, obediently but with her head down, not daring to look at Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin..."

"Damn it, what was that just now?"

"Nothing, I, I..."

Xia Xiyao stammered.

"Damn it, you steal a kiss and run? How dare you take advantage of me?"

As he spoke, Xu Lin pulled her in and kissed her back.

Xu Lin now had top-notch kissing skills, and with a new partner to practice with, how could he let this opportunity pass?

It was like those harem anime where the main characters are ambiguous but the male lead is always useless.

After kissing for a few minutes, Xia Xiyao's face turned completely red, even down to her neck, which Xu Lin could clearly see in the dim light.

Tap tap...

But just then, there were footsteps in cotton slippers coming from the master bedroom.

"Xu Lin... who are you talking to?"

Rong Xiyi's voice and footsteps came simultaneously.

Xia Xiyao, who was blushing, suddenly turned pale with fright.

But Xu Lin didn't panic, and quickly took Xia Xiyao into the large bathroom.

Just as Rong Xiyi arrived in the living room, the sound of water came from the bathroom.

"Xu Lin, are you taking a shower?"

Rong Xiyi rubbed her eyes in the dim living room.

"Yeah, I'm showering."

"Xu Lin, shall we shower together..."

"No way, I'm taking a dump while showering."

Xu Lin had tried this before, but he definitely wasn't doing it now.

"Ugh, taking a dump while showering..."

"Xu Lin, I'm going back now, too tired, hurry up with your shower..."

Rong Xiyi was indeed very tired.

With more tapping footsteps, she finally returned to her room.

And Xia Xiyao?

She was now held in Xu Lin's arms, her heart racing along with her breathing.

Partly from being held by Xu Lin, partly from the tension of almost getting caught.

"Xu Lin..."

Xia Xiyao wanted Xu Lin to let her go.

But there was no way Xu Lin would let go.

He wasn't exactly a gentleman.

"Do you like me?"

Xu Lin wanted to confirm, lately, he indeed noticed that this girl had feelings for him, not to mention she had just kissed him.

Xia Xiyao didn't answer immediately, but after a dozen seconds, she nodded, though she didn't speak.

Xu Lin didn't speak either, kissing her again.

This time, Xia Xiyao also cooperated with the kiss.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin's hands weren't idle either.

The Christmas outfit was stripped off, leaving just the bunny ears, her entire body bare.

"Xu Lin... don't..."

Xu Lin wasn't being honest, like the last time at the hot spring, he was doing the same thing again.

Since standing wasn't convenient, Xu Lin directly placed Xia Xiyao on the sink, letting her sit there.

Xia Xiyao didn't dare make a sound, scared that Rong Xiyi would find out.

But she didn't stop Xu Lin either, just letting him have his way.

And so, ten minutes passed by.

Next, Xu Lin stood about ten centimeters away, looking at Xia Xiyao's chest, as if studying something.

Xia Xiyao blushed and shyly said, "Is my chest very nice to look at?"

"It's indeed the best I've seen, without a doubt."

Xu Lin wasn't exaggerating; at this moment, it truly was unmatched.

Xia Xiyao's maternal glow was like a dazzling work of art, and he couldn't quite describe that feeling.

At this moment, Xu Lin admired this piece of art with a gaze that transcended worldly desires.

Xia Xiyao felt awkward being stared at, making her uncomfortable.

But she felt a sense of pride because Xu Lin praised the shape of her chest.

"Don't keep staring, it feels weird."

She said softly.

"I'm just looking."

Xu Lin smiled and said, "I'll take a shower and then go back to sleep."

Xu Lin didn't make any other moves; he didn't want to go too far.

To be honest, after about half an hour, if Rong Xiyi didn't have him there, she might not even fall asleep.

"Alright, alright."

"Are you showering too?"

"Yeah."

Xia Xiyao just nodded, without speaking, got off the sink, and stood there covering her body.

Xu Lin pulled her over, "Let's shower together then!"

The water heater was instant, always hot, and in this weather, a hot shower was very comfortable.

Ten minutes later, after their shower, Xu Lin returned to the room.

As soon as he sat on the edge of the bed, Rong Xiyi reached out to hug his waist, murmuring with her eyes closed, "Why did it take so long? I've been waiting for you."

"Let's sleep."

Xu Lin remained composed on the outside, but internally he felt a bit guilty.

He lay down and pulled the blanket over, at the same time Rong Xiyi held Xu Lin tightly.

Unless Xu Lin wasn't in the big house, Rong Xiyi would need Xu Lin beside her to sleep comfortably. Sometimes when Xu Lin left for a while, Rong Xiyi would shift from sleep to a half-conscious state. In that state, she would reach around, and if she couldn't find Xu Lin, she would wake up.

"Xu Lin, let's sleep."

And the night passed without further talks.

The next day, Sunday.

It was raining today, and quite heavily. It started raining at six in the morning and continued until nine.

According to the weather forecast, it would rain all day, with no improvement in weather.

At nine in the morning, Xu Lin and the other two woke up.

"Xu Lin, let's order delivery!"

Rong Xiyi had just gotten up and finished freshening up.

Xia Xiyao then said, "I'll treat, what do you guys want to eat?"

Actually, at this time of the morning, there wasn't much to eat, as many delivery services start after ten.

Things like buns, porridge, noodles, and such were available though.

But Xu Lin didn't quite want those.

"How about McDonald's breakfast then!"

Xu Lin thought the soy milk from KFC or McDonald's breakfast tasted great, both having the same taste. As for soy milk, many breakfast places offered it too, but it just didn't taste the same.

Xia Xiyao: "Shall we order McDonald's breakfast then?"

Rong Xiyi said excitedly, "Yaoyao, let's get that!"

"Okay."

Xia Xiyao asked Xu Lin what they wanted to eat while ordering.

However, for Xu Lin, she specifically ordered an extra ham roll, knowing one breakfast wouldn't be enough for him.

"Xu Lin, I ordered an extra ham roll for you."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem."

Xia Xiyao looked at him; they had quite a time in the bathroom last night, but now everything seemed normal as if nothing had happened.

However, this morning Xia Xiyao felt quite anxious, worried that Rong Xiyi would find out about last night.

She felt as though she had lured Xu Lin last night, hence feeling guilty.

Luckily, Rong Xiyi hadn't noticed, which made Xia Xiyao breathe a sigh of relief.

Over half an hour later, they started having breakfast.

After breakfast, they rested for half an hour, and Xu Lin began exercising.

On rainy days like this, Xu Lin didn't feel like going out, even with a car. It would just be taking the elevator down to the underground garage, driving out to, say, a mall, and again into an underground garage. Overall, he wouldn't touch a single drop of rain, but Xu Lin still wouldn't venture out for no reason.

Rong Xiyi wanted to go out and play, but Xu Lin directly declined.

She was just bored with nothing to do.

Damn it, this weather was clearly unsuitable for going out.

Xu Lin's exercise session lasted over two hours.

By two o'clock, when it was still raining, Xu Lin's package arrived.

He had the courier deliver it upstairs.

"Xu Lin, what's that?"

Xia Xiyao was curious upon seeing Xu Lin bring in a long box.

"A guqin!"

Xu Lin said, "Just playing around with classical instruments out of boredom."

Actually, he wanted to study other pieces of music, so naturally, he needed to spend more time with the instrument.

"Oh, a guqin?"

Xia Xiyao was astonished, "Xu Lin, you know how to play the guqin too?"

In Xia Xiyao's view, Xu Lin was talented and versatile.

And now, he could even play the guqin?
