By noon, Liu Yunshu had completely collapsed onto the sofa.

Pei Yu'an buried his face in her neck, his nose brushing against her delicate skin, still carrying the burning heat of a young man.

He didn't do anything excessive, but gently bit the soft flesh on the side of her neck, his voice low and husky with a hint of ingratiation.

"Sister Liu, are you hungry? Shall I cook you something?"

Liu Yunshu didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, she just lazily hummed in response, her fingertips gently resting on the back of his neck, feeling the boy's warm body temperature.

Pei Yu'an immediately stood up. The young man's muscles were well-defined, and his abdomen was still covered with a thin layer of sweat from exercise, which shone with a healthy glow in the light golden sunlight.

Liu Yunshu lazily propped her head up with her hand, whistled at him, and said with a hint of teasing charm in her eyes, "Nice figure, little Pei."

Pei Yu'an shyly put on his pants, but secretly kicked his shirt aside.

He deliberately turned around in front of her before blushing and walking towards the kitchen.

Soon, sounds came from the kitchen: the sound of running water mixed with the soft crackling of eggs being beaten, a delicate yet incredibly enticing noise.

Liu Yunshu gazed at the boy's tall and straight back, the warmth of his nape still lingering on her fingertips, and couldn't help but smile.

She propped herself up on the sofa, stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, and slowly strolled to the kitchen doorway.

The morning light streamed through the kitchen window, casting a pale golden outline on Pei Yu'an's back.

The boy was shirtless, wearing an apron, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and several scratch marks remained on his bare back.

Liu Yunshu leaned lazily against the kitchen doorway, casually picked up a pack of cigarettes from the bar, and gently took one out.

Hearing the noise, Pei Yu'an turned around and saw her holding a cigarette.

He quickly put down the eggs in his hand and rushed over to pick up the lighter.

His fingertips were slightly hot as he carefully brought the cigarette to his lips. The flame licked the cigarette, illuminating the languid look in Liu Yunshu's eyes.

"Smoking right after waking up?" His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible reproach, but he still obediently lit her cigarette.

He then casually snatched the cigarette pack from her fingers, saying, "It's bad for your health, smoke less."

Liu Yunshu took a light inhale, and smoke spilled from the corner of her lips, blurring her features.

She didn't refute, but just smiled and reached out, her fingertips lightly tracing his chin, watching his body tense up instantly: "A cigarette afterward is better than being a god."

Pei Yu'an recoiled from the heat of her fingertips, blushing as he whispered in protest, "Smoking too much is bad for your throat."

Seeing his furrowed brows in anxiety, Liu Yunshu chuckled softly and offered him a cigarette: "Want to try some?"

Pei Yu'an hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to put the cigarette in his mouth, but Liu Yunshu gently pulled him back.

She held a cigarette between her fingers, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes: "Silly! Just kidding, little kid, why are you smoking?"

He took another drag, exhaling the smoke in front of the boy's eyes, which made the boy stare blankly.

"I'm not a child anymore."

Pei Yu'an reached out and grabbed her wrist, his fingertips stroking her slightly cool skin, his tone tinged with resentment.

"Last night... I was really good."

As soon as he spoke, the tips of his ears turned red, but he still stared stubbornly into Liu Yunshu's eyes, as if waiting for her approval.

Liu Yunshu was amused by his "self-satisfied" look, stubbed out her cigarette and threw it into the ashtray, then reached out and pinched his flushed cheek.

"Yes, yes, our little Pei is the best."

She leaned closer to him, her nose brushing against his chin. "Let's cook some noodles first, I'm hungry."

Pei Yu'an's eyes crinkled with delight at her smiling approval, like a large dog receiving praise, and he immediately turned and rushed back to the kitchen.

Soon, a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles was placed in front of Liu Yunshu.

In a white porcelain bowl, noodles are coated in a thick tomato broth.

A perfectly round, soft-boiled egg rests on top, with vibrant green vegetables scattered around it, making it look incredibly appetizing.

Pei Yu'an thoughtfully handed over a pair of chopsticks, his eyes full of anticipation: "Sister Liu, try it and see if it's good."

Liu Yunshu took the chopsticks, first pierced the soft-boiled egg, and the golden yolk flowed out, wrapping around the noodles before being put into her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes blends with the aroma of eggs, and the noodles are cooked to the perfect softness. With one bite, warmth spreads from the tip of your tongue to your stomach.

She looked up at Pei Yu'an and saw that he was still staring at her. She couldn't help but smile even more: "Delicious, even better than what I cook."

Pei Yu'an immediately smiled and turned around to pick up his own bowl.

Ignoring the heat, she slurped up a big mouthful and mumbled, "If it's delicious, eat more. There's more in the pot. I'll cook more for you if you need more."

The two sat at the small dining table in the kitchen, sunlight streaming through the glass window and falling into the bowls, making the air feel warm and cozy.

"Where do you want to go after we finish eating?" Liu Yunshu put her chopsticks on the table, propped her chin up, and looked at him.

"I don't want to go anywhere else." He leaned closer to her, his nose almost touching hers. "I just want to stay here, with Sister Liu."

Having just had intimate contact with Liu Yunshu, he really couldn't bear to leave her side for even a moment.

Pei Yu'an put down his chopsticks and let his hand slide down the edge of the table.

He gently took her wrist and pulled her towards him, the burning intensity in his eyes not yet completely gone.

"I'd be happy to stay here, watch you read, watch you smoke, or even just sit here daydreaming."

Liu Yunshu was touched by his straightforward affection. She gently scratched his palm with her fingertips and nodded with a soft smile.

"Okay, then stay home."

Just then, Liu Yunshu's phone rang. She looked down at the screen and saw the name "Chen Yu" on it.

She answered the phone casually, "Feed?"

"Yunshu, Mom said she's coming over in a few days to see you."

Chen Yu's voice on the other end of the phone was deliberately gentle, but it couldn't hide a hint of probing.

"By the way... I'd also like to talk to you about the 'serious business' we mentioned last time."

A cold glint flashed in Liu Yunshu's eyes, but she replied casually, "I know, we'll talk about it after your mother sets a time."

"Have you been busy at the shop these past few days?"

Chen Yu's voice followed again, tinged with deliberate concern.

"I've been busy with my project lately and haven't had a chance to ask you."

Just then, a strange noise came from his side, which sounded like a woman's voice.

Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion, and asked, "What was that sound? It sounded like...a woman's voice?"

Liu Yunshu's voice rose slightly at the end, her fingertips casually stroking the back of Pei Yu'an's hand, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Chen Yu, is someone next to you?"

A panicked silence fell over the other end of the phone, followed by the clattering of tables and chairs being moved.

Chen Yu's voice was very low, but it still betrayed his guilt: "No! You misheard. A colleague accidentally knocked over the filing cabinet."

He paused, trying to change the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll come home early the day Mom comes over."

Pei Yu'an heard it clearly in her arms, and the arms around her waist suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white.

Liu Yunshu felt the body of the person in her arms tense up instantly, and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

She chuckled softly into the phone, "Okay, then let me know when you've confirmed the time."

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly replied with a couple of words, and quickly hung up the phone, forgetting not even to say "goodbye".

The moment Liu Yunshu threw the phone onto the coffee table, Pei Yu'an abruptly looked up.

Peach Blossom's eyes were filled with suppressed anger, her jawline taut like a bowstring: "He's lying! That was clearly a woman's voice!"

The boy's voice trembled with urgency, "Sister Liu, don't believe him! He's having an affair!"

Looking at the anger surging in his eyes, Liu Yunshu felt as if he had suffered a great injustice on her behalf.

She gently poked his puffed-out cheek with her fingertip, her tone casual and lazy: "What's the rush? I didn't believe him."

"But he lied to you!" Pei Yu'an became even more anxious, reaching out to grab her fingers that were poking his cheek.

His fingertips caressed her slightly cool skin, and the anger in his eyes gradually turned into grievance.

"He treated you like that, why don't you divorce him? Sister Liu, I can..."

"What can I do?" Liu Yunshu interrupted him, her fingertips slipping between his fingers to intertwine with his.

"Can you support me? Or can you clean up this mess for me?"

She leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his reddened earlobes. "Xiao Pei, some things can't be rushed."

Pei Yu'an's Adam's apple bobbed, rendered speechless by her question.

He knew he was still too young, hadn't graduated, and didn't have a stable job. Besides his passionate love, he couldn't give her anything else.

But seeing Liu Yunshu being fooled like that, he felt like a fire was burning inside him, making him feel terrible.

Liu Yunshu gently stroked his chin, looking meaningfully at his rosy lips, "He has women outside, but I have you too."

The boy's body froze instantly, then he suddenly raised his head, his peach blossom eyes shining brightly, as if they were filled with starlight.

Before Liu Yunshu could say anything more, he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her urgently.

This kiss lacked the previous awkwardness and tentativeness, and was filled with stubbornness and cherishing, as if he wanted to knead her into his very bones.

Only when their breaths mingled did Liu Yunshu gently push him away, and Pei Yu'an reluctantly let go.

His forehead pressed against hers, his voice hoarse from the kiss: "Sister Liu, after I graduate, I'll find a good job, and then you can divorce him, okay?"

His eyes were full of seriousness, and even his breathing was rapid with tension.

"I can support you, cook for you, and help you manage the shop. I won't let you suffer any grievances."

Seeing his eagerness to prove himself, Liu Yunshu's heart softened, and she gently traced his reddened lips with her fingertips: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
