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

Lin Xuechun checked the address; it was inside the school, less than a twenty-minute walk away.

Forget it, I'll still make the trip.

Olaf: [Okay.]

After replying to the message, she turned a corner and headed towards the teachers' family dormitory.

None of the residential buildings in this area have elevators, but fortunately, each building is not tall, only 6 floors.

She found Building 3.

Climb up to the 4th floor.

Having lived in the north for a long time, she hadn't climbed any stairs. Climbing four floors in one go, plus the nearly twenty-minute walk she had just taken, left her slightly out of breath.

Her fair face flushed crimson, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and her rosy lips parted slightly as she breathed softly.

She was dressed very casually today.

She wore a tight-fitting high-waisted short T-shirt underneath, and a very loose plaid shirt on top. From the front, you could see a slender waist that was dazzlingly white.

Below are slim-fit flared jeans, which make the legs look long and straight.

Standing at the entrance of 401, Lin Xuechun still felt a little shy at the thought of facing Xi Chenzhou face to face.

Moreover, girls tend to be more concerned about their image when they're around guys they like.

Even though she had already rejected him.

So she didn't knock on the door immediately, but stood at the doorway, her red lips pursed shyly, her slender white fingers spread out, and she combed her hair.

After tidying her hair, her long, black hair cascaded down her sides, reaching her waist. The hair was smooth and silky, like a black ribbon, which, combined with her fair face, black hair, red lips, almond eyes, and delicate nose, made her stunningly beautiful.

After tidying herself up, she took a deep breath, raised her hand, her fingertips slightly curled, and gently knocked on the door with her knuckles.

dong dong dong.

Her heart was pounding just like the knocking on the door.

Unbeknownst to her, there was a surveillance camera installed in the upper right corner of the doorway, and Xi Chenzhou saw her from inside as soon as she stood at the door.

He watched her through the screen as she sweetly fixed her hair.

He even took out a small mirror and looked at himself.

Her rosy lips and white teeth made her look like a leading lady in a youth movie on the monitor screen.

Finally, he secretly took a deep breath and mustered up a lot of courage before raising his hand to knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xi Chenzhou didn't move. He stood in the entryway, looking at her through the monitor screen on the wall, his dark eyes filled with undisguised possessiveness.

He stood there and watched for a long time.

The knocking on the door was intermittent. The person on the screen would open their eyes wide in confusion for a moment, then press their cheek against the door, trying to hear if there was any movement inside. As they listened, their eyes would dart around, and their lips would bite and then release.

Only when Xi Chenzhou finally took out his phone to send him a WeChat message did he raise his hand and open the door.

The moment he opened the door, the possessiveness in his eyes vanished, replaced by indifference and nonchalance, as if he were looking at people through a thin layer of ice.

Lin Xuechun was holding her phone, head down, about to send a WeChat message when she suddenly heard a click. She looked up and saw the door in front of her had opened.

A faint scent of shower gel wafted out.

The scene that made the girls scream not long ago is now flashing before my eyes—

Xi Chenzhou stood tall in the doorway, his broad shoulders almost blocking half of the door frame, his straight and long legs on the ground, and most importantly, his upper body was bare, he wasn't wearing any clothes at all!

His beautiful and firm muscle lines are on full display.

He must have just taken a shower; his body was still damp, and occasionally a drop of water would drip from the ends of his hair and roll down his pale skin.

With no hair covering his forehead, his sharp and refined face was fully exposed, with thick black eyebrows, narrow eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and a tight jaw, making him strikingly handsome.

Lin Xuechun was so shocked by what she saw that her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand up.

Her face turned red without her noticing.

Her gaze recoiled as if burned, avoiding his eyes, her voice unconsciously tinged with a spoiled complaint: "Why aren't you wearing any clothes...?"

"Why should I wear clothes when I'm in my own home?"

Xi Chenzhou reached out and casually ran his hand through his hair, then lowered it again, his gaze falling on her flushed face, his voice nonchalant.

Lin Xuechun's mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know how to refute it.

She quickly looked up at him, her face flushed, and said, "I...I came to get my student ID."

"In my schoolbag."

"Could you hold this for me? I won't come in..."

Xi Chenzhou stepped aside to clear the doorway, tilting his chin slightly inward: "Come in and get it yourself."

It's obvious they won't give it to her.

Lin Xuechun had no choice but to turn around and close the door behind her. She steeled herself and stepped inside. She glanced at the floor, then looked up and asked him, "Do you have slippers? Or shoe covers would be fine too."

Xi Chenzhou opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of pink sandals, bent down and placed them in front of her: "New."

"Oh... thank you."

Lin Xuechun took off her canvas shoes and carefully slipped her feet into her pink slippers.

Xi Chenzhou looked down and saw her small feet, wearing white lace socks. Her feet were probably only the size of his palm. He had bought her size 36 pink slippers, but they seemed a little too big for her, probably size 35.

His eyes darkened, he withdrew his gaze, walked inside to the sofa, grabbed the clean short-sleeved shirt draped over the armrest, and put it on.

Turn around after getting dressed.

Lin Xuechun had just changed into her slippers and was bending down to arrange her shoes neatly when she stood up, took a few steps in, and stood at the entrance of the living room, timidly looking around like a kitten that had just arrived in unfamiliar territory, both shy and curious.

Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. She looked around, then blinked innocently, with a hint of charm at the corners of her eyes.

"Where's your backpack?" She looked away and turned to him.

"Bedroom." Xi Chenzhou uttered two words and turned to walk inside.

Lin Xuechun followed behind him and watched him enter the room. She stopped at the door and waited for him.

A short while later, he returned with the student card and handed it to her.

"Thank you."

Lin Xuechun smiled at him, reached out to take it, her slender white fingers touched a bit of the card, and pulled it back.

It can't be pulled out.

I tried pulling again, but it still didn't move.

She looked up at him.

Xi Chenzhou lowered his eyes, his fingertips pinching the other end of the card. As if he had just thought of something, he raised an eyebrow at her and slowly said, "You seem to still owe me a meal."

Lin Xuechun was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that she had indeed promised to treat him to a few more meals.

Who knew that thing would happen in the middle?

Since there won't be another chance, I might as well repay the favor sooner rather than later.

"Is today okay? I happen to have time."

"Can."

Having received a reply, Xi Chenzhou released his grip.

Lin Xuechun took back her student ID and put it in her pocket: "Where do you want to eat?"

She was asking about the restaurant.

Xi Chenzhou: "I want to eat at home; I'm tired of eating out."

"Huh?" Lin Xuechun's mouth opened slightly, and she blinked. "But my cooking skills aren't very good."

Xi Chenzhou didn't care: "As long as it's edible, that's fine. I don't have high requirements. What matters is sincerity."

It means that if she doesn't agree, she's not sincere.

Lin Xuechun had no choice but to nod: "...Okay then. What do you want to eat? I need to look up how to make it beforehand."

Xi Chenzhou walked to the sofa, sat down, spread his long legs casually, and uttered two words nonchalantly: "Whatever."

The hardest thing to compromise on is to be casual about something.

But she had already agreed. Lin Xuechun's gaze swept around the room: "Where's the kitchen? How about we check what's in your fridge first?"
