‘Where to? Long Jie’s house?’
Early in the morning, Bai Yao dragged her tired body out of bed and looked in the wardrobe for clothes to wear out today.
The local temperature had been fluctuating.
It had stayed around 25 degrees for about a week, then suddenly dropped to single digits.
As a result, Bai Yao hadn’t been able to enjoy herself the night before and had been shivering from the cold.
‘No, it’s a date to go out with Gu Wanwan and the others.’
Bai Yao’s face was full of disgust and impatience.
“I don’t want to go, but she insists on dragging me there…”
She had always been bad at refusing others, and besides, Gu Wanwan had been really good to her.
If not for Gu Wanwan, she might have stupidly let herself be arranged to meet the boss, which made it impossible for her to refuse Gu Wanwan’s invitation.
‘I want to sleep at home on the weekend. It’s so cold.’
Bai Yao muttered, pulling out a pair of fleece-lined yoga pants from the wardrobe.
Figuring these pants would be warm enough, she also took out a long coat.
She couldn’t accept wearing just the yoga pants that outlined the curves of her buttocks, thighs, and even her lower belly, drawing attention from passersby.
But with the coat covering up, it was fine.
Not only would it make her legs look long and slender, but it would also give the feeling of wearing a short skirt.
‘Long Jie called us to come over for dinner in the evening.’
“Going again… What a hassle.”
Although she complained, Bai Yao was already secretly looking forward to Senior’s dinner party.
She hadn’t eaten anything greasy during this week of classes.
After choosing her clothes, Bai Yao turned around and saw Qiu Ye sitting on the headboard, shirtless.
His light wheat-colored skin glistened slightly under the light, looking clean and sharp.
The contours of his shoulders, neck, and chest were distinct, his stomach flat, his waist slender.
Although he didn’t deliberately work out, his body already vaguely had an inverted triangle shape.
“Your eyes are sparkling.”
Qiu Ye had the illusion of being stared at by a female pervert, his scalp tingling.
“We just woke up!”
“Hmph~ You’re so weak.”
“I wonder who was crying and calling ‘Daddy’ last night.”
“I was freezing cold. I wasn’t in the mood.”
Bai Yao was still only wearing a top and underwear, her thighs covered in goosebumps from the morning chill.
She yawned, checked the time, and it was only 9 AM.
She slowly picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom.
She brushed her teeth, washed her face, applied moisturizer, and put on lip balm.
Qiu Ye also entered the bathroom and gently wrapped his arms around Bai Yao’s waist from behind.
He pressed against her wearing only a pair of loose shorts.
Bai Yao felt as if a furnace was clinging to her, warmth quickly spreading throughout her body.
Bai Yao leaned her head back and gently rubbed against Qiu Ye’s chin.
“What is it?”
“It’s been so long. Shouldn’t we change how we address each other?”
Although they were close, apart from Qiu Ye occasionally calling her ‘Yao Yao’, they didn’t really have any fixed endearments; they usually called each other by their given names.
“Old… husband?”
Bai Yao’s waist was slender, and Qiu Ye gently held her, feeling like he could encircle it with one hand.
Her buttocks were not large but perky, naturally pressing against him as he held her.
“You’d be embarrassed to call me ‘Husband’ in public, right?”
“True.”
Normally, Bai Yao would only call him ‘Husband’ in a sweet voice when she needed something from Qiu Ye, and at night she usually called him ‘Daddy’.
“How about ‘Big Brother’?”
Qiu Ye asked with perverse amusement.
“Ehh… This form of address feels strangely embarrassing too.”
Bai Yao shook off his hand.
“I’m taking a shower. You get out.”
“Quickly say it a couple of times.”
Seeing that he wouldn’t stop until he got his way, Bai Yao turned her head, revealing her fair and slightly reddened neck, and said softly.
“…Just say ‘Bro’.”
“Bro.”
“We’ve been together so long, and you’re still this shy?”
“Who’s been with you for that long?”
Although she had just showered last night, Bai Yao was still in the habit of showering again before going out.
Her hair was a mess, like a bird’s nest just awakened.
She checked the time; there was still half an hour until her appointment with Gu Wanwan.
But she wanted to leave early.
She hated being late.
“Wait, I’ll take a shower too, we can leave together.”
Qiu Ye called out to her.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“It’ll be quick.”
Men really do shower quickly.
In less than ten minutes, Qiu Ye was done and dressed, ready to go out.
“Wait, I need to clip my nails.”
Bai Yao sat on the headboard, struggling to clip her toenails.
Qiu Ye walked over and casually took hold of her foot.
“I’ll clip them for you.”
“It’s just clipping my nails…”
Her sole being held tickled a bit, and she couldn’t help wanting to pull back.
Qiu Ye had already taken the nail clipper and bent down to carefully trim her toenails.
Bai Yao felt a bit unaccustomed, but thinking about how she often “bossed him around” at other times, she didn’t refuse.
“What are you going out for? Playing ball?”
Bai Yao looked at the time and asked.
“First I’ll take you to meet Gu Wanwan, then I’ll go to the gym with the Big Star.”
“You’re actually going to work out?”
“I made plans with Lin Mingxin. We practice together every weekend.”
“Move. Don’t block me from getting off the bed.”
“I heard Lin Mingxin often gets locked in a hotel by his girlfriend on weekends. You’re not that ruthless.”
“I’m not that exaggerated.”
After getting ready, the two walked out side by side.
They arrived at the bus stop at the back gate of the school.
It was already the agreed time.
Bai Yao arrived right on time.
She looked around but didn’t see Gu Wanwan or the other classmates.
“Where is everyone?”
“I’ll send a message to ask.”
After a while, Gu Wanwan replied that she was still showering.
Bai Yao complained helplessly.
“What’s this? We agreed on a time in advance.”
As they were talking, Lin Mingxin also arrived.
“Next time I won’t be so punctual either. Most girls aren’t as punctual as you; they still need to put on makeup.”
Although Qiu Ye had only called him to go to the gym ten minutes before leaving, Lin Mingxin arrived even earlier than the agreed time.
“Why did you suddenly decide to work out?”
Lin Mingxin hooked his arm around Qiu Ye’s shoulder and lowered his voice.
“Can you handle it?”
“Ha, I’m afraid you can’t handle it, so I’m taking you to train.”
“I’ve got iron kidneys!”
