At this moment, the early morning sunlight shone through the crystal-clear dewdrops on the trees and playfully seeped in through the window.
Light particles became visible in the floating dust, like a school of newly awakened fish, lazily suspended in mid-air. Amidst the haze, the two figures in the room appeared particularly dazzling.
“Mmph…”
As the young man’s hand, holding a towel, wiped across the woman’s smooth, jade-like back, every pore could almost be seen on her delicate skin.
The moment the towel and the young man’s hand touched her skin, Liu Yun could not help but let out a weak moan.
Lin Xiu’s mouth twitched slightly at this, and he could not help but tease her.
“Sister Yun, can you stop making those kinds of sounds? Or are you just that sensitive? It is only a sponge bath.”
Liu Yun was currently hugging her pillow, her small face flushed a deep red with embarrassment. Hearing the young man’s words, she snapped back subconsciously.
“It is only because — “
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something. She quickly shut her mouth and buried her head directly into the pillow.
Lin Xiu let out a soft chuckle and said casually, “Oh, so it is my fault. Fine, it seems I misunderstood you, Elder Sister Yun. But you will get used to things like this.”
As he spoke, Lin Xiu continued to wipe the crystal-clear beads of sweat off the woman who was acting like an ostrich. Of course, there was more than one way to wipe…
Only after he finished did Lin Xiu poke the woman’s soft waist and say, “Elder Sister Yun, turn over.”
Liu Yun’s delicate body trembled at his words, and a muffled voice came from the pillow.
“No, no more. Let’s just leave it like this.”
However, Lin Xiu simply curled his lips. He stood up and waited quietly.
Sure enough, after a while, the woman on the bed could not help but peek out from the covers. But upon seeing Lin Xiu, she hurriedly shrank back in a panic.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu sighed and said slowly, “Elder Sister Yun, if you keep being disobedient, I will have no choice but to use Depth Hypnosis on you.”
Sure enough, upon hearing the young man’s words, Liu Yun’s inner line of defense instantly collapsed. This was a subconscious reaction formed from being dominated by the young man during this period.
She raised her head irritably, glared at Lin Xiu with anger, and then hummed as she turned to face him.
Lin Xiu smiled as he looked at this cute, sulking mature beauty. However, his eyes darkened slightly in anticipation of what was to come.
He soon transformed into a dribbling expert. Under his offensive, Liu Yun had no way to defend at all; she could only watch helplessly as the young man treated the basketballs cruelly…
By the time the wiping was over, Lin Xiu himself was covered in heat and sweat. He tucked the blanket around the woman—who was blushing down to her neck and keeping her eyes shut to feign composure—and then turned to the bathroom to take a shower and cool down.
After all, just as the woman had said, she was still a patient. Lin Xiu could not actually bully her, could he?
Afterward, Lin Xiu ordered a portion of porridge and fed it to Liu Yun bit by bit, after which she finally fell into a deep sleep.
***
In the afternoon, only a sliver of the setting sun remained in the sky, dyeing half of it red.
When Liu Yun woke up, she happened to see Lin Xiu playing a game nearby. Seeing this, a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.
Lin Xiu happened to look up at that moment, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Liu Yun quickly turned her head away, her eyelashes fluttering to hide her deer-like panic.
Lin Xiu chuckled and reached out to touch the woman’s forehead, nodding.
“The fever has broken. Elder Sister Yun, how are you feeling?”
Liu Yun took a moment to check herself and shook her head.
“I am fine. Thank you… for today.”
Lin Xiu’s hands did not stop moving as he played the game, but his gaze shifted to Liu Yun.
“Elder Sister Yun, there is no need for thanks between us. But if you really want to show your gratitude, it would not hurt to give me a kiss.”
Hearing this, Liu Yun could not help but roll her eyes at him.
“In your dreams!”
Did this guy have nothing else on his mind besides that kind of thing all day?
As their conversation ended, the only sound left in the room was the game audio coming from Lin Xiu’s mobile phone.
Liu Yun did not usually play games, but watching the young man’s effortless finger movements now, she could not help but feel a bit curious.
She quietly moved closer to him, stretching her neck to watch.
She saw that the young man was playing a game called *Wangzhe Nongyao*. He was playing a hero that required a lot of mechanical skill, so the abilities looked very flashy.
Watching the young man kill all the enemy heroes, Liu Yun felt her heart race with excitement.
Lin Xiu arched an eyebrow at this and pulled the woman into his embrace.
“Mmph…”
Liu Yun was caught off guard by his move, and then she saw him hand her the mobile phone.
“Elder Sister Yun, do you want to try?”
Liu Yun was stunned, then declined despite feeling tempted.
“Forget it. I do not know how to play.”
Lin Xiu naturally understood that she was saying one thing while meaning another, so he immediately shoved the mobile phone into her hands.
“It is fine. Just play however you want, Elder Sister Yun. I will back you up.”
Hearing this, Liu Yun did not refuse again. She controlled the character in the game, preparing to go on a killing spree.
The result was that the hero she was controlling died miserably on the spot as soon as she rushed into the enemy team. Moreover, because her teammates trusted her, they had all followed her in.
Unsurprisingly, the team was wiped out. Looking at the dark game screen, Liu Yun could not help but feel embarrassed.
“Does this count as using one scheme to sacrifice three sages?”
Lin Xiu took back the mobile phone and corrected her.
“It does not count, because you got four teammates killed.”
Liu Yun pouted and gave a light huff.
“Anyway, you were the one who insisted I play. You can’t blame me for losing.”
Lin Xiu gave a faint smile.
“Do not worry. We won’t lose.”
As an Esper, Lin Xiu’s physical attributes were far beyond those of ordinary people. Naturally, his reaction time and hand speed were the same.
Furthermore, for a simple mobile game like this, as long as he was given one chance, it was enough for him to turn the tide.
In fact, it was just as he thought. Lin Xiu soon controlled his resurrected character and began to dominate the field once more, pushing all the way to the enemy’s crystal and securing victory.
Actually, by logic, since Liu Yun was an Esper who was gradually awakening, her physical functions should have improved as well.
However, perhaps because she was too unique, her physical functions remained the same as always, with no changes…
***
As the sun fully set, Liu Yun kicked the idle Lin Xiu out, telling him to go back to his own home.
Lin Xiu had already seen plenty of sights today, so he did not stubbornly stay. Instead, he walked toward the elevator, planning to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
However, when he reached the entrance of the residential area, he saw Ning Xin getting out of a black SUV with a cold expression, followed by several other men.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu frowned and instinctively hid his figure around a corner.
