After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

After breakfast, Lin Xuechun and Xi Chenzhou went to change their clothes and prepared to go out.

The old house has two bedrooms and one living room. One of the rooms has been converted into a walk-in closet, and there is also a narrow cabinet in the bedroom to store personal clothing for easy access.

The weather in northern Beijing has been getting cooler lately, and Lin Xuechun is struggling to decide what to wear from her closet full of clothes.

Turning around, I saw that Xi Chenzhou had already changed into a hoodie and jeans.

It's better to be a guy; you can wear the same style for three seasons, and for the last season you just have to swap the sweatshirt for a short-sleeved shirt.

She noticed that all his clothes were similar in style: either hoodies, various black, white, and gray t-shirts, and jeans and casual pants that looked almost identical.

The only difference is the style of the sneakers; they come in all sorts of colors and take up an entire wall in the walk-in closet.

Seeing her standing there dumbfounded with a frown on her face, Xi Chenzhou walked over to her and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

Lin Xuechun pouted, "I don't know what to wear..."

So that's what was troubling him. Xi Chenzhou smiled and casually grabbed one of his own black hoodies for her: "How about wearing mine?"

Lin Xuechun took it and compared it to herself in the mirror. The black hoodie had a logo printed on the chest and was longer than half of her thighs. It was only slightly different from the style Xi Chenzhou was wearing, so they were definitely matching outfits.

"Then wear this."

Lin Xuechun smiled and deftly pulled the hoodie over her head. The hoodie hung loosely over her body, making her look like she was wearing a dress. Luckily, she wasn't short, so it actually looked quite stylish on her. It was a boyfriend-style outfit that was popular for a while.

Seeing that Xi Chenzhou was wearing jeans, she also picked out slightly flared jeans to pair with white German boots.

Her hair was naturally loose, hanging down from both sides of her shoulders. It was long, straight, and black, and she had a naturally high crown. Her face was small and fair, and her features were delicate. Even just wearing it like that, she was very eye-catching.

Xi Chenzhou glanced at her sideways, then couldn't help but hug her again, lowering his head to kiss her forehead. Suddenly, he didn't want to go out anymore; he just wanted to stay home with her.

Lin Xuechun was held in his arms, looking up at him with her little face.

Xi Chenzhou's gaze swept from her watery eyes to her rosy lips, staring for two seconds before suddenly raising his hand and pinching her chin—

"Um—Isn't it..." going out?

He swallowed the rest of his words, his rough fingertips pinching her cheeks, his thumb pressing against her chin, forcing her red lips open. His other hand gripped her waist, pulling her into his arms. Then he lowered his head, his hot breath forcefully invading, stirring and entwining her.

Lin Xuechun tilted her head back, completely following his rhythm. Her breath broke into small gasps between his lips and tongue, the last sound light and short. Her slender white fingers gripped the clothes at his waist tightly.

They kissed for a long time.

When they stopped, Xi Chenzhou pulled his lips away slightly, his nose brushing against hers, as if he wanted more.

Lin Xuechun opened her eyes, a trace of lingering moisture at the corners, and looked at him with a soft, watery gaze: "Weren't we going out?"

She now had the chance to finish saying the words that had been swallowed up earlier.

"Mm." Xi Chenzhou raised his hand, his fingertips tracing across her soft red lips, and whispered, "Let's go out now."

The two left hand in hand. At home, Lin Xuechun didn't feel anything, but after going down a flight of stairs and walking a distance, before she could even leave the campus, the aftereffects of last night and this morning started to flare up.

Lin Xuechun's legs trembled, and she stumbled, almost falling. Fortunately, Xi Chenzhou caught her waist in time and helped her straighten up.

"Your legs are weak?" Xi Chenzhou glanced at her parted legs, his eyes slightly raised in a meaningful way.

Lin Xuechun understood his implied meaning, and playfully slapped him with a smile, her face a mixture of shyness and anger: "It's all your fault..."

They have no sense of proportion.

"How about I carry you? The car is parked a bit far away, we'll have to walk a while." Xi Chenzhou turned around and squatted down.

Lin Xuechun looked around. The road was secluded and there weren't many people around, so she knew no one would stop there. Without much hesitation, she jumped onto his back, wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her head slightly, and pressed her cheek intimately against his ear.

Xi Chenzhou supported her by the knees and carried her on his back.

After taking a couple of steps, Lin Xuechun asked in his ear, "Am I heavy? If not, I'll get down and walk myself."

How could a man say no? Xi Chenzhou snorted softly, "Even if you gained ten times more weight, I could still carry you."

In his eyes, her weight was like that of a cat; he could lift her up by the scruff of her neck.

Lin Xuechun couldn't help but laugh, turned her head and kissed the tip of his ear, whispering in his ear, "My boyfriend is so amazing."

"What should you call me?" Xi Chenzhou would always correct her.

Lin Xuechun blushed slightly, feeling that the address was rather embarrassing. After a few seconds of mental preparation, she leaned close to his ear again and said, "My husband is so amazing."

After she finished speaking, she bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Xi Chenzhou's ears turned red, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

The atmosphere was sweet.

Neither of them spoke.

Just then, Guan Ying, carrying a bag, walked over from the opposite side.

Xi Chenzhou saw her first, and his previously upturned lips immediately tightened, his face expressionless, showing no intention of greeting her.

Faced with his cold expression, Guan Ying felt too embarrassed to take the initiative again. She looked up at Lin Xuechun, who was shy and subconsciously nodded the moment their eyes met, calling her "senior sister".

Guan Ying nodded indifferently, her attitude quite cold.

We passed each other on either side.

"Baby, you don't need to greet people you don't know well in the future." Xi Chenzhou's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the person involved to hear.

"Okay." Lin Xuechun also sensed Guan Ying's indifference.

Guan Ying froze for a moment. She couldn't help but turn around and glance back, seeing Lin Xuechun clinging to Xi Chenzhou's back. Both of them were wearing black hoodies and jeans—were they matching outfits?

She pursed her lips, took out her phone, quickly snapped a picture, and sent it to Pei Xinyao.

Miss Guan: [No wonder I lost to my junior. On such a flat road, she was wearing sneakers and had her boyfriend carry her, while I could walk like the wind in high heels.]

Pei Xinyao: [These are all experiences; you should learn from them in the future.]

Miss Guan: [I can't pull off that innocent, naive act. Does your aunt know your brother's dating yet?]

Pei Xinyao: [Of course he wouldn't know. He never talks about his family.]

Miss Guan: [I bet your aunt would be furious if she knew. I heard your junior's family isn't well-off at all, from a second-tier city, a teacher's family, their best they could get is an A7. Your aunt's son, whom she raised with so much effort, is now helping someone else's family. If I had my son, my high blood pressure would flare up right here!]

Pei Xinyao: [Now that you mention it, should I talk to my aunt first?]

Miss Guan: [Speak up! Since your relationship with your brother is so strained right now, and he's ignoring you, why are you still considering his feelings?]

Pei Xinyao thought about it again and realized that it made sense.

Since I've already offended Xi Chenzhou, I don't care about this one thing anymore.

She thought for a moment, then sent the photo she had just taken to Jiang Lan.

[Auntie, here's some juicy gossip for you! Turns out, this is how Ah Zhou's love life is—I'm stunned! .jpg]

Don't tell him I sent it to you.

After sending the message to Jiang Lan, she switched back to chat with Guan Ying: "[Sent, sent. My aunt hasn't replied yet; she'll probably be shocked and call me to interrogate me soon.]"

Miss Guan: [Maybe I'll just write a three million check and throw it at my junior, making her break up with him, hahaha... *watching the show* face.jpg]

Pei Xinyao: [That's probably not the case. Don't forget my aunt is a great lawyer; she has plenty of ways to solve problems without spending a penny.]

As the two were chatting, Pei Xinyao saw a WeChat message from Jiang Lan pop up at the top of her phone.

Hey, my aunt replied.

She opened her chat window with Guan Ying and excitedly clicked on Jiang Lan's message.

She had already anticipated Jiang Lan's barrage of questions.

After all, a top lawyer's eloquence is no joke!

Then I clicked on it—

Article 1: [Rest assured, I will never betray you.]

Second post: [Eyes sparkling with hearts and drooling.jpg This couple is so sweet!]

When Pei Xinyao saw the first item, she thought to herself, "As expected, my aunt is unaware of this."

When I saw the second message, I was suddenly stunned: "Auntie, do you know that A-Zhou is dating?"

Jiang Lan sent a 60-second voice message directly—

First came a hearty laugh, the sound of which made him grin from ear to ear, then he began to speak:

"Oh dear, I haven't had a chance to share this good news with you all yet! Your brother got engaged to his girlfriend, the girl in the photo. Our two families had dinner together last week and finalized the engagement. They'll get married right after the two kids graduate. Your brother has given her all his savings, he's so afraid she'll break up with him. If he weren't still in school, he'd be dragging her to get the marriage certificate right now... Hahahaha..."

Another burst of laughter.

You could tell she was genuinely happy.

Pei Xinyao also sent a message: "Getting engaged so soon? Auntie, do you know about that girl's family situation?"

Jiang Lan sent a voice message directly, which Pei Xinyao answered. A cheerful voice came through the receiver:

"I know her. She's my best friend's daughter. She's from a scholarly family and is incredibly outstanding. Just like me back then, she got into Peking University from the South Province all by herself, without relying on her family at all."

"Look at all the kids in our Jiang family, which one can compare to them? I'm not saying you're bad, but at least you got into the Film Academy and got an undergraduate degree. The others, to put it bluntly, are hopeless. They've been fed the best educational resources in Beijing since they were little, and their grandparents are professors at Peking University, but their college entrance exam scores are all terrible. It's embarrassing to even talk about them."

"Especially your maternal uncle's family, they even had the nerve to force your maternal grandfather to pull strings to get their child into Peking University's medical school. Your grandfather was so angry he was hospitalized. With that level of ability, studying medicine? Isn't that just harming people?!"

"Anyway, none of our kids can compare to my daughter-in-law. You saw her face when the photos were taken, right? She's incredibly beautiful, more than good enough to be a star. How can there be such a perfect girl? She's beautiful, highly educated, and has a great personality. Oh my, I like her so much. No wonder your brother wanted to marry her as soon as he started dating."

"That brat has great taste! Don't you think?"

Jiang Lan was quick-witted, firing off a barrage of words like a machine gun.

Pei Xinyao was completely stunned, and replied stiffly, "Yes, yes."

Jiang Lan: "What are you doing? Look at your brother, he got married in his freshman year of college. You should hurry up and stop hanging out with those guys who go clubbing, smoking, and drinking all the time, acting like a bunch of young punks..."

"Okay, Auntie. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now." Having been lectured by her elders again, Pei Xinyao hung up unhappily.

Guan Ying was already impatient and kept sending her WeChat messages to urge him.

What's going on?

Pei Xinyao typed with a gloomy face: [Sister, just give up completely. My brother got engaged to a junior from my school. It turns out the junior is my aunt's best friend's daughter, and she adores her, which led her to belittle all the kids in our family...]

Upon seeing the message, Guan Ying, who was still expecting a good show, instantly froze with a smile.

The two of them are actually engaged?

Did Xi Chenzhou's family agree?

Her heart felt like it had been soaked in lemonade, it was so sour.
