Leng Keyan glanced at Yin Siyao, whose face was burning red on the bed, and said with a suppressed laugh, "It's nothing, it's not the flu."

Lu Er asked in confusion, "It's not the flu... so why does your throat sound like that?"

Leng Keyan's voice was a little softer: "It's just... my throat is a bit red and swollen from overuse. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Lu Er cursed, "Leng Keyan, you beast! How could you be so heartless to treat Si Yao, such a pure and noble person, like a gentle breeze and a bright moon..."

Leng Keyan: "......"

Yin Siyao: "..."

Leng Keyan was scolded mercilessly, but dared not refute, and could only respond with "uh-huh" and "yeah".

Finally, Lu Er said, "Give the phone to Si Yao."

Leng Keyan obediently handed over the phone.

Yin Siyao took it and heard Lu Er say, "Siyao, don't always spoil him. If he needs to be disciplined, then discipline him. If he dares to cause trouble again, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson."

Yin Siyao's face turned even redder, and she mumbled, "I know..."

After hanging up the phone, an awkward silence fell over the room.

Leng Keyan carefully observed Yin Siyao's expression and tentatively asked, "The porridge is almost ready, do you want to eat it now?"

After a long pause, Yin Siyao managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth: "Go and bring it over."

The afternoon sun streamed through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm, dappled light on the floor.

Yin Siyao was curled up in a corner of the sofa with his laptop, the screen displaying several of the latest spinal surgery papers.

Leng Keyan, holding a tablet, sat down next to Yin Siyao, very close to her: "Teacher Yin, what are you looking at so intently?"

"Medical literature".

Yin Siyao spoke succinctly, his fingers gliding across the touchpad, "Don't cause trouble."

"oh."

Leng Keyan was quiet for less than three seconds before speaking again, his clear voice trailing off with a sticky, slurred tone.

A fluffy head nestled on Yin Siyao's shoulder, carrying the fresh scent of a recent shower. "Want to go shopping at the mall this afternoon?"

"I'm not going."

Yin Siyao didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Go on, go on~"

Leng Keyan squatted down next to Yin Siyao's legs, looking up at him, "The New Year is coming soon, let's go buy some new clothes to celebrate the New Year."

Yin Siyao then diverted a bit of attention from the documents: "Many of the new clothes you bought me before are still hanging in the closet with the tags on them."

"I go to work every day, when would I have a chance to wear it?"

Ever since Leng Keyan moved in, she brings shopping bags home every few days.

From shirts to sweaters, from coats to casual pants, I bought only high-quality brands.

Yin Siyao initially told Leng Keyan not to waste money, but later realized it was useless to say so, so he could only let Leng Keyan do it.

As a result, the apartment that Yin Siyao is currently renting is not big enough to accommodate everyone.

Leng Keyan argued confidently, "Wearing new clothes for the New Year is a tradition. Teacher Yin, you have good taste, why don't you come with me and help me pick some out?"

Yin Siyao sighed and tried to reason with her: "You can choose whatever you like. I want to finish reading these papers this afternoon."

Leng Keyan rested her chin on someone's knee, her beautiful eyelashes long and thick, making her very cute.

With her wet eyes wide open, she looked pitifully at Yin Siyao: "It's so pathetic for me to go shopping alone, like an unwanted puppy..."

Yin Siyao: "..."

Here we go again with this trick.

Seeing that she had a chance, Leng Keyan continued to act shamelessly, clinging to Yin Siyao.

With her arms wrapped around Yin Siyao's waist and her head nuzzling against his neck, she pleaded, "Please come with me, Teacher Yin, I beg you, you're the best..."

A warm breath brushed against my ear, carrying the refreshing scent unique to young people.

That coquettishness is... so effortless.

Yin Siyao's body stiffened from being rubbed, and he couldn't bear to read a single word of the document.

"Leng Keyan, sit down properly."

Yin Siyao tried to maintain the dignity of an elder, but there was already a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"If you agree to come with me, I'll sit down."

Leng Keyan went too far, even blowing a breath lightly into someone's ear.

Yin Siyao's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He realized that if he didn't agree today, this brat would keep pestering him until dark.

"Just three hours."

Yin Siyao gave in, closed his laptop, and said, "It must be finished within three hours."

"Okay, I'll listen to Yao Yao the most."

Leng Keyan immediately sat up straight, her eyes shining like stars.

Her face showed no trace of her previous pitiful expression, only a sly glint of triumph. "Teacher Yin is the best! I'll go change my clothes, I'll be right there!"

Yin Siyao watched the person happily run towards the bedroom, rubbed her neck which was itchy from being rubbed, and sighed.

The slight annoyance I felt from being forced to go out vanished inexplicably when I saw Leng Keyan's bright and sunny smile.

Oh well, let's just consider it... a dog walk.

An hour later, the two appeared in an upscale shopping mall in the city center.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the shopping mall was decorated in a festive red and played joyful music on a loop, attracting a lot more people than usual.

Leng Keyan was in high spirits and dragged Yin Siyao to visit one shop after another.

From trendy boutiques to designer brands, from sportswear to high-end menswear, I had a blast trying on clothes.

Yin Siyao was responsible for sitting on the sofa outside the fitting room, waiting for people to come out after changing, and giving short comments such as "not bad", "not bad", or "too flashy".

"Yaoyao, how's this one?"

Leng Keyan emerged from the fitting room wearing a royal blue velvet shirt. Under the light, it shimmered with a delicate sheen, making her skin appear even whiter and her eyes even brighter.

"That's too grand."

Yin Siyao objectively commented, "It's like going to walk the red carpet."

"And this one?"

Leng Keyan changed into a beige chunky knit sweater, which looked warm and refreshing.

"That's fine."

Yin Siyao nodded. "It suits you."

Leng Keyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately said to the shop assistant next to her, "This one is the one."

After shopping for almost two hours, Leng Keyan had several shopping bags in her hands, but she still wouldn't stop. She said she hadn't found her New Year's outfit yet and insisted on continuing to buy.

Yin Siyao's legs were already a little sore from walking, but seeing Leng Keyan happy, she didn't want to spoil the mood.

"Tired?"

Leng Keyan keenly noticed that Yin Siyao had slowed down and immediately stopped. "Let's take a break. There's a milk tea shop over there. I'll go buy some."

Yin Siyao was indeed a little thirsty, and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

As he spoke, he pointed to a bench in front of a brand store next door.

"Okay, I'll put the things in the car and be right back."

Leng Keyan turned around, her back view radiating joy.

As Yin Siyao watched the energetic figure disappear into the crowd, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

It's great to be young; you still have so much energy after shopping for so long.

Yin Siyao leaned back in her chair, rubbed her calves, and casually glanced at the shop windows around her.

Suddenly, I was drawn to a shop next door with a very unique decor.
