NOVPUBNo time to think more.
Chen Nan quickly turned around and went back to the bedroom with Su Qing’s canvas bag, "Quickly change back into your earlier clothes."
Seeing Chen Nan’s anxious face, Su Qing couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
Chen Nan quickly dressed, "Someone rang the doorbell, and I think it’s better if you put on some clothes and find a place to hide!" he said while straightening his clothes and walking to the door.
"Why is it her?"
Seeing the tall, beautiful figure outside through the peephole, Chen Nan was startled, clearly not expecting Niu Xiangxiu to visit.
Last night during the meal at Niu Kai Xuan’s home, Niu Kai Xuan had asked about his current address.
No time to think more.
Chen Nan opened the door with a smile, enthusiastically saying, "Xiangxiu, sister, what brings you here?"
Niu Xiangxiu wore a cheongsam-style black blouse with butterfly buttons, paired with an ink-painted pleated horse-face skirt, giving off a gentle yet cool demeanor.
Especially her exquisite face, which, even without makeup, still exuded a refreshing and ethereal charm, enchanting but not flashy.
"I’ve brought you some clothes!" Niu Xiangxiu handed over the clothes to Chen Nan, the robe he had changed out of after falling into the water yesterday, now dried.
Then, with a reluctant expression, she added, "By the way, my family wanted me to help tutor you a bit in your studies."
As she said this, she glanced behind Chen Nan, a meaningful smile appearing on her face, "Aren’t you going to invite me in?"
Chen Nan hurriedly said, "Please, please, please!"
"You took a bit long to open the door!" Niu Xiangxiu walked into the room following Chen Nan, saying half-jokingly, "You weren’t hiding a beauty in a golden house, were you?"
Chen Nan’s heart skipped a beat.
Internally he cursed, *Damn it!*
He felt that Niu Xiangxiu’s sixth sense was disturbingly sharp.
Just then.
A tender voice from the bedroom said, "Chen Nan, you’re an adult now and need to start being diligent and timely about changing your bedding, maintaining personal hygiene, and taking care of yourself."
"If you can’t even take care of yourself, then auntie will move in to live with you."
"By then, you better not blame auntie for being strict with you."
Su Qing walked out of Chen Nan’s bedroom wearing a cheongsam, carrying the bedsheets.
Upon seeing Niu Xiangxiu, her face showed surprise, then she smiled and asked, "Is this your friend?"
A wave of embarrassment rose in Niu Xiangxiu’s heart, having previously hinted that Chen Nan might be hiding a woman, only to find a woman actually appear from the room.
However.
Judging from her prior nagging and her age, this must be one of Chen Nan’s elders.
No time to think more, she smiled and greeted, "Hello, auntie," making a polite introduction.
Chen Nan, still in shock, came to his senses and laughed while introducing, "Xiangxiu sister is the daughter of my mentor, and she’s here to tutor me."
Chen Nan was severely startled, not expecting Su Qing to walk out holding the bedsheets.
But what he didn’t expect was that Su Qing would resolve the crisis of hiding a beauty in a golden house in just a few words.
If she really had hidden.
The consequences would have been unimaginable.
After all.
Niu Xiangxiu was there to tutor him and wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.
Su Qing smiled and said, "I’ll just put the sheets in the washing machine and then get back, so as not to disturb your studies. Remember to hang them up to dry after they are washed," she said as she walked into the bathroom and put the sheets in the washing machine.
Before leaving, Su Qing asked with a smile, "Do you need auntie to come and cook lunch for you?"
Chen Nan politely said, "No need, Auntie. We’ll go out for lunch."
"Alright, study well then." After leaving those words behind, Su Qing, wearing high heels, gracefully left Chen Nan’s house.
------
After watching Su Qing leave, Chen Nan sighed and couldn’t help but say, "My mom’s friend before she passed, worried I can’t take care of myself, always wants to move in to look after me."
"But I am no longer a child."
Niu Xiangxiu shrugged, "In the eyes of many elders, even though we have grown up, we are still children!"
Chen Nan could not deny that, then looked towards Niu Xiangxiu with a smile, "Xiangxiu, it’s Saturday today, we finally have a holiday, can you show some mercy and let me rest for a day?"
Niu Xiangxiu gave him a wistful look, "You think I want to come here to tutor you? If the old man hadn’t asked me to come, I’d be out watching a movie."
"Less talk, lead me to your study."
Chen Nan was not a student who liked studying.
Especially today, being Saturday, he really wanted to relax.
However.
Niu Xiangxiu represented his mentor, Niu Kai Xuan.
He led Niu Xiangxiu to the bedroom with a listless face, where the bed sheets and pillowcases had already been changed to clean ones.
Although the window was open, Niu Xiangxiu frowned and suspiciously said, "Why is there a strange smell in your room?"
Chen Nan suddenly felt a bit guilty.
Niu Xiangxiu did not know what the smell was, but he was well aware.
It was the odor produced when a man and a woman were intimate.
Without further thought.
He awkwardly said, "It might be the smell from the previous bed sheets!" and grabbed a tray of homemade incense from the mountains, lighting it.
In an instant.
The scent of the incense spread and cleared the odd smell from the room.
Niu Xiangxiu elegantly sat at the foot of the bed and softly said, "My father mentioned that your physics and chemistry grades are not so good, while your grades in other subjects are quite excellent. Come on, let’s tutor physics and chemistry today."
"Oh!"
Chen Nan, without any enthusiasm, picked up his physics textbook, which had several problems marked that he did not understand.
Niu Xiangxiu leaned over and seriously started looking at those problems.
Because their distance was so close.
Chen Nan could clearly smell the subtle fragrance of perfume emanating from Niu Xiangxiu, a scent that quickened his heartbeat and sent his thoughts drifting.
Not only that, but he could even feel Niu Xiangxiu’s breath, warm on his face, which made his mind utterly confused.
"You can try to solve it the way I told you before." Niu Xiangxiu explained how to solve the problem.
But she realized.
Chen Nan seemed to be not listening at all, instead staring straight at her with burning eyes.
Feeling Chen Nan’s gaze, Niu Xiangxiu’s heart was thrown into disarray, and her face blushed slightly.
She angrily twisted Chen Nan’s ear, and said indignantly, "Chen Nan, I am discussing the problem with you, can you please pay attention?"
"If you don’t listen carefully, do you believe I’ll tell my dad about this?"
Chen Nan, with a smile, said, "I’m sorry, Xiangxiu, I was wrong. I promise to pay attention and not have those messy thoughts again!"
Chen Nan still greatly respected Niu Kai Xuan and did not want to make him angry or worried.
"That’s more like it!" Niu Xiangxiu snorted lightly, let go of Chen Nan’s ear, then as if thinking of something, her face showed a mysteriously amused smile, "What exactly are these messy thoughts you mentioned?"
