Chen Shuo simply snatched the photo album back and put it back in its original place.
Su Xiyan was just getting into it. How could Chen Shuo take it away from her? And so, the two started a scramble for the photo album in the living room.
Su Xiyan put her hands on her hips with her willow-leaf eyebrows inverted, and directly ordered: "Chen Shuo, give me back the album!"
Of course Chen Shuo refused, and brought out his killer move: "You can't just take things that belong to elders, it's impolite."
Elders? The album did seem a little dated.
It was probably an album Chen Shuo's mom had kept right? If that's the case, then flipping through it casually really is a bit impolite.
A battle for the album, under Chen Shuo's "authority" crushing, ended.
Su Xiyan looked reluctantly at the neatly arranged albums, thinking that later when there is a chance, she must take a good look, and participate in Chen Shuo's growing up years.
"Stop spacing out, come, let us sweat profusely together okay?" Chen Shuo's voice came from the bathroom.
Su Xiyan: ???
Sweat profusely?
The next second, Chen Shuo threw a mop to Su Xiyan: "Go mop the floor!"
He wants me to mop the floor?
Ha, in his dreams!
Su Xiyan reacted very quickly. Her straight and slender leg spun in a roundhouse kick, kicking the mop directly back into Chen Shuo's hands.
"Chen Shuo, don't forget why I brought you back home in the first place."
"Mop the floor properly, no slacking off! I'll come to check."
"Also, the windows and furniture are also full of dust, remember to wipe them."
After saying that, Su Xiyan walked away arrogantly with her little head held high, and sat on the sofa playing with her phone.
Chen Shuo held the mop in his hands: "Su Xiyan, you really think of yourself as the lady of the house?"
Su Xiyan didn't even lift her head: "Whether I'm the lady or a female guest, it shouldn't fall onto me to clean up right?"
Chen Shuo: "......"
What she said actually makes a lot of sense. For a moment, Chen Shuo was at a loss for words.
It really doesn't make sense to ask Su Xiyan to clean up. These chores still have to be done by himself!
Chen Shuo held the mop and cloth, sweating profusely at home. Su Xiyan sat elegantly and lazily on the sofa, playing with her phone, with occasional faint smiles on her gorgeous face.
He was busy until after 9 pm at night before he finally cleaned up the house that hadn't been lived in for a long time.
Chen Shuo looked at the time: "Su Xiyan, are you sleepy?"
There was a slight tremor in Su Xiyan’s hand holding her phone as she maintained composure, "A little sleepy."
"Um...how should we sleep tonight?"
There were only two rooms in Chen Shuo’s home, the master bedroom of his parents, and Chen Shuo's own bedroom.
Chen Shuo’s mom was coming back tomorrow, so how should they allocate the two rooms?
Could it be...
All kinds of strange ideas involuntarily popped up in Su Xiyan’s mind.
"Su Xiyan? What are you spacing out for?" Chen Shuo said, "I changed all the beddings in the master bedroom to brand new ones. You can sleep there tonight!"
Su Xiyan asked: "What about tomorrow after your mom comes back?"
Chen Shuo: "We'll figure it out tomorrow when it happens! I can rough it out on the sofa then if needed."
Su Xiyan got up, and strode directly towards Chen Shuo’s room with her long legs.
Chen Shuo: "The master bedroom is the other one."
Su Xiyan: "Tonight, I want to sleep in your..."
Her pause in words left Chen Shuo standing there in a daze, not reacting for a good few seconds. It wasn't until he heard Su Xiyan close the bedroom door that he came back to his senses.
Su Xiyan was acting weird today!
Chen Shuo felt as if he was having an illusion, it was as if they had gone back to when they first met.
Back then, Su Xiyan was the demon hunter, and Chen Shuo was just a little newbie vampire. Plus, the system completely failed in front of her, so Chen Shuo was worried all the time that Su Xiyan would tear him apart with her bare hands.
Now, Chen Shuo seemed to have fallen back into that worry again.
Worrying that Su Xiyan would "eat" him.
When a boy is in love, he must pay attention to protecting himself properly.
The more initiative Su Xiyan takes, the more Chen Shuo feels that something is not right. This woman's mind is too deep!
It's still better to be more careful!
After working all afternoon, he really was quite tired! Chen Shuo went to take a shower, then headed to the master bedroom to sleep.
Sleeping in the home he grew up in since young, he always slept very soundly.
In the second half of the night, Chen Shuo got up to use the bathroom.
Still half-asleep, after using the bathroom his mind was still in a dream-like state. Following his body’s instinctive memory, Chen Shuo walked towards his own bedroom.
Unlocking the door, Chen Shuo fumbled as he sat on the edge of the bed, pulled over the quilt, preparing to lie down.
But somehow, the feel didn’t seem quite right??
It felt a little soft, and very warm?
The scent of breathing also smelled very familiar?
The next second, Chen Shuo was pressed down forcefully onto the bed by an extremely strong force!
At the same time, the lights were turned on.
The sudden brightness made Chen Shuo unable to open his eyes. It took him a good while to adapt to the current lighting.
Su Xiyan’s cold and gorgeous face came into Chen Shuo’s view, her little face puffed up angrily, willow brows furrowed.
Only then did Chen Shuo become fully awake:
Oh crap!
He had forgotten Su Xiyan was sleeping in his bedroom!
Ever since young, Chen Shuo had always slept in this bedroom. So half-asleep coming back from the bathroom, his body's instinctive memory led his footsteps straight towards his own room.
But he had forgotten that Su Xiyan was sleeping in his room today!
This is not good at all!
Damn it!
"Su Xiyan, it's not what you think, listen to my sophistry!"
"Oh wait no, listen to my explanation."
Su Xiyan wore a translucent nightgown, her fair and delicate long legs exposed without a trace.
She seemed to notice Chen Shuo was looking at her long legs, and pulled down the hem of her nightgown to cover her perfectly lined legs.
"Chen Shuo, I hope you're an upright person."
After saying that, Su Xiyan released Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo: "When have I not been upright?"
Su Xiyan: "You've sneaked into my room, and you call this being upright?"
Chen Shuo: “Come on! This has been my bedroom that I’ve slept in for over ten years since I was little!”
“Su Xiyan you tell me clearly, whose room is this exactly?”
Su Xiyan righteously: “It’s mine now.”
After saying that, her long legs shot up, kicking Chen Shuo’s back and kicking him out the door in one move.
Before Chen Shuo could even stand firmly, the door behind him closed shut with a bang.
How unreasonable! How domineering!
Chen Shuo shook his head and returned to the master bedroom.
After such an embarrassing blunder, Chen Shuo returned to the master bedroom and it took him quite a while before he could fall back asleep.
Unexpectedly, he was awoken again by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Chen Shuo felt a chill.
The weather report said there would be a cliff-fall in temperature tonight.
The cold wind made Chen Shuo couldn’t help but shiver.
Su Xiyan stood at the door, already changed into a furry winter robe.
“Chen Shuo, it’s so cold in the other bedroom!”
