NOVPUBThe living room was somewhat dim.
Nie Xiaoyu stood quietly in front of the dressing mirror, her face intoxicated as she gazed at her reflection, a faint smile appearing on her face.
She had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a white bathrobe, with crystal-clear droplets of water slowly sliding down her fair skin.
Under the illumination of the light, she shimmered like the brightest star in the night sky, twinkling seductively in the darkness.
Below her enchanting collarbones were a pair of round and perky breasts. Though not very large, they seemed just the right size to fit comfortably in one’s hand.
The barely visible cleavage gently rose and fell with each breath she took, prompting endless fantasies.
The fabric of the bathrobe clung tightly to her body, outlining the heart-stirring curves of her chest, filled with endless temptation.
Her waistline was tight and smooth, as if sculpted by an artist, contrasting sharply with her full buttocks, showcasing the unique beauty of feminine softness and strength coexisting.
The contours of her buttocks were vaguely visible beneath the bathrobe, each slight movement seemingly whispering endless seduction and teasing.
Her legs were long and straight, the hem of the bathrobe just stopping above her knees, revealing her slender and symmetrical calves, her skin as pale as jade, even more tempting in the dim light.
When she heard the door open and looked at Chen Nan, the gentleness in her eyes instantly turned a bit frantic; she subconsciously covered the beautiful scene in front of her, her face flushing slightly, "I just finished cooking. Go wash your face and let’s eat!" she said, and fled into the bedroom.
Chen Nan also gradually came back to his senses.
Although Nie Xiaoyu was dressed, she had not revealed any overly private parts.
Yet, for some reason,
that scene had stirred his heartstrings.
Especially her shy demeanor, which had sparked a strong urge in him to conquer Nie Xiaoyu, to enter her willfully and attain the pleasure of both body and mind.
"Why would I entertain such lewd thoughts about Xiaoyu?"
Chen Nan sighed inwardly.
He couldn’t deny that Nie Xiaoyu was beautiful, a school belle when they were studying.
But the reason he had allowed Nie Xiaoyu to stay at his house and offered her help was because she was a pitiful girl.
Plus, they were classmates; helping where he could.
But now,
having those lewd thoughts about Nie Xiaoyu made him feel wicked.
"It must be the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman."
"Though the Scripture of the Hidden Talisman can enhance my strength,"
"it can also disturb my mind."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan calmed his restless emotions, changed into slippers, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face.
But just then,
he discovered,
a palm-sized pink underwear lying beside him, giving off a fresh and clean vibe.
Of course,
this wasn’t important.
What was important were the two curved hairs on it.
He averted his gaze and left the bathroom to go to the dining room, where the dining table was set with four dishes, two meat and two vegetable, along with a large bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
Besides that, there were few steaming hand-made buns.
At this moment, Nie Xiaoyu had also changed her clothes, wearing a white T-shirt paired with denim shorts. Although dressed simply, she looked pleasing to the eye.
"This is bun I steamed using a traditional starter, try it." Like a virtuous and gentle wife, Nie Xiaoyu handed Chen Nan a bun, then ladled some soup for him.
At that moment. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Chen Nan felt as if his dream had come true.
His gaze was somewhat blurred.
Everyone has their own dreams.
Compared to ordinary people,
he, being from a somewhat wealthy family,
didn’t dream about buying a house through his own efforts.
Because his father had already bought a house for him.
His dream was only to find a woman he liked and settle down at the right age.
After work, he would come home to a wife who had prepared a lavish dinner, waiting for him to enjoy.
And now,
the scene before him reflected an image he had seen in his dreams.
Although Nie Xiaoyu wasn’t his wife,
this heartwarming scene left a mark in his heart worthy of lifelong remembrance like a red-hot brand!
Seeing Chen Nan lost in thought, Nie Xiaoyu waved her hand in front of his eyes and couldn’t help asking, "What are you grinning about?"
Chen Nan snapped back to reality, smiling, "Nothing, let’s eat!" With that, he picked up a bun and took a big bite, savoring the rich wheat flavor and the chewy texture, which he found incredibly satisfying.
Especially when paired with chili-fried meat, it was even more delicious than the sea cucumber and abalone he had had at lunch.
Chen Nan relished his meal, "Your cooking is truly amazing. Whoever marries you as his wife will definitely be incredibly happy."
Watching Chen Nan enjoy his meal, Nie Xiaoyu felt a sense of accomplishment, worried that Chen Nan might not like the dishes she had prepared.
She gracefully took up her chopsticks and bun, taking small bites, presenting a sharp contrast to Chen Nan’s hearty eating.
While eating, Chen Nan asked, "Did you go out this afternoon?"
Nie Xiaoyu, eating with her head down, replied softly, "I went to the hospital at noon, and on the way back, I terminated the lease on my previous apartment."
Chen Nan asked caringly, "How is our grandfather’s health?"
The casual mention made Nie Xiaoyu blush like a ripe peach, "He’s my grandfather, don’t call him ours recklessly."
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, joking, "We’re living under the same roof, eating from the same bowl, why make such clear distinctions? Isn’t your grandfather essentially my grandfather too?"
Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, then helplessly said, "My grandfather is suffering from brain atrophy. His condition is very bad now, his consciousness is confused, and sometimes, he doesn’t even recognize me."
"Fortunately, my aunt is there to take care of him in the hospital, otherwise I wouldn’t have time to go out and earn money."
Chen Nan softly comforted, "Life is meant to be experienced, be it bitter, sweet, sour, salty, or spicy, no one can share our burdens."
"All we can do is embrace an optimistic attitude and face the unknown tomorrows, not letting difficulties and setbacks defeat us."
Nie Xiaoyu looked up at Chen Nan and murmured, "You seem different."
Chen Nan smiled, "In what way have I changed?"
After a moment’s thought, Nie Xiaoyu replied softly, "In the past, you were spirited and, though surrounded by many friends, you kept a certain pride that made people feel distant."
"Now, you are like a lamp in the cold night, warming anyone who comes near, making them feel comfortable."
Chen Nan shrugged with a smile, "People always change."
"Luckily, I seem to have turned into quite a decent person."
Nie Xiaoyu looked up, "You are a good person."
Chen Nan made a face, "Don’t call me a good person; I hate it when people give me that label... Wait a second, what’s wrong with your face?"
"Why is there a handprint on your face?"
"Who hit you?"
