Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes widened at those words, and she hurriedly denied it.
“Impossible! There’s no way I did that…”
Lin Xiu, however, spoke leisurely.
“If that’s not the case, then how did you end up on the bed, Yun-jie? Surely, it couldn’t have been me, a patient, who put you up there?”
“This…”
Liu Yun was momentarily at a loss for words. Though she strongly suspected the boy in front of her was behind all this, what he said was also true.
Seeing Liu Yun’s uncertain expression, Lin Xiu continued to coax her.
“Oh, I get it now! Yun-jie, could it be you were sleepwalking? Maybe, while asleep, you thought this was your own home, so you climbed onto the bed.”
Liu Yun was startled when she heard that and replied in disbelief, “How could that be… I’ve never sleepwalked before.”
Lin Xiu spread his hands and chuckled lightly.
“You’ve never done it before, but that doesn’t mean you won’t now. Otherwise, how else would you explain what just happened?”
“I…”
Liu Yun wanted to say something but hesitated. She couldn’t help but start doubting herself—did she really climb onto the bed by herself?
But if that were true, wouldn’t she become that kind of wanton, improper woman…
No, she clearly never thought about such a thing!
With this, Liu Yun didn’t dare meet the boy’s gaze. She turned her head aside, feeling a little guilty, and mumbled, “A-anyway, I don’t sleepwalk. L-let’s just let this go.”
Lin Xiu teased, “Just let it go? But, Yun-jie, you actually wronged a patient like me, and you took up half of my bed. Don’t you feel even a little bit guilty?”
Liu Yun, embarrassed by the boy’s exaggerated look of clutching his chest, could only glare at him and mutter helplessly, “F-fine, I’m sorry, I wronged you, alright?”
Lin Xiu nodded, satisfied.
“Mm, very good. To recognize your mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue.”
Looking at his infuriating face, Liu Yun ground her teeth in anger. This annoying bastard—she should have just let him bleed out and die instead of saving him…
But soon, Liu Yun realized something was off. Wait, wasn’t she the one who got the short end of the stick just now? Why did she have to apologize to this guy?
Thinking of this, Liu Yun became even more upset, turning away to give the boy a graceful yet aloof view of her back…
In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed. By now, Lin Xiu’s wound had nearly healed, and he was lively once again.
His recovery speed surprised even the doctors. In short, Lin Xiu was discharged from the hospital, but Liu Yun’s vacation was almost over.
Her return flight was booked for the day after tomorrow, leaving Liu Yun feeling rather down.
Seeing Liu Yun’s dejected look, Lin Xiu naturally understood why she was unhappy. After thinking for a moment, he said,
“Yun-jie, don’t we still have one day left? Let’s make the most of tomorrow and have fun together.”
Hearing this, Liu Yun was tempted, but she huffed and said, “And whose fault do you think this is? You said you’d bring me good luck, but you’re nothing but a jinx…”
For once, Lin Xiu didn’t argue against the woman’s complaint. He simply smiled lightly and said, “Who’s to say for sure?”
After all, from her perspective, he really was the main reason she was upset.
The next day, Lin Xiu got up early to prepare.
Looking at Liu Yun, who was still sound asleep, he playfully pinched her delicate little nose. She, still half-asleep, waved her hand cutely to chase away the mischievous culprit.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Not letting up, he called out,
“Yun-jie, the sun’s up! If you don’t get up now, it’ll be noon soon!”
Annoyed by the boy’s antics, Liu Yun opened her sleepy, beautiful eyes, glanced at the time, then glared at him.
“It’s only eight o’clock! Do you believe I’ll bite you?!”
Lin Xiu quickly waved his hands in defense, explaining,
“Yun-jie, didn’t we agree to go to the water park today?”
At this moment, Liu Yun’s alluring figure was half-lying on the bed, but her face remained cold as she looked at him.
“And? We can go at ten, can’t we? If you keep disturbing my sleep, give me one good reason not to bite you?”
Lin Xiu was both amused and exasperated by her words and offered a reason,
“Because you’re not a little dog, Yun-jie, so you can’t go around biting people.”
Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes widened, but she found herself speechless. Furious, she rolled over, wrapped herself in the blanket, and huffed,
“I’m not getting up no matter what. If you want to get up, go ahead—just don’t bother me.”
Lin Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle at this. She’s already an adult, yet still acts like a child when it comes to lazing in bed…
With that, he walked to the other side of the bed and spoke earnestly to the woman inside the blanket,
“Yun-jie, you’d better get up. Even if we go to the water park later, we still need to prepare in advance, like picking out swimsuits and sunscreen…”
Hearing the boy’s nagging, Liu Yun thought it made sense and decided not to laze around any longer.
After all, she wasn’t truly bad at getting up—how else could she be punctual for work every day?
But as Liu Yun was about to change clothes, she suddenly realized—if they were going to the water park today, how could she keep up her male disguise?
If she didn’t dress like a man, wouldn’t she have to…
Lin Xiu had naturally thought of this, or perhaps he’d planned it all along. He immediately said,
“Yun-jie, you don’t need to dress as a man today. This is Sanya—no one knows you here.”
Liu Yun’s eyes flashed with hesitation, but in the end she could only sigh,
“Fine, I guess there’s no helping it.”
Clearly, Liu Yun didn’t realize that she was already less and less resistant to wearing women’s clothes.
Back when she was still a man, she scoffed at men who wore women’s clothes.
When the two of them left and arrived at the city’s largest shopping mall, it was obvious the stores here all had a Sanya flair.
There were plenty of beachwear and beauty stores, and a dizzying array of souvenir shops as well.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu said,
“Let’s go, Yun-jie. We’ll buy swimsuits and sunscreen first, then pick up some local specialties to take home.”
Liu Yun had no objections, but once they entered the swimwear shop, she began to feel uncomfortable, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
The reason, of course, was all those boldly designed women’s swimsuits. Just imagining herself wearing one made Liu Yun feel awkward…
For Lin Xiu, on the other hand, choosing a swimsuit was much simpler—he just grabbed a pair of floral swim trunks and called it a day.
Of course, Lin Xiu didn’t care about his own swimsuit. What he really cared about was what swimsuit Liu Yun would wear today. Heh heh heh…
