evening.

Palm Springs International Apartments.

Aunt Zheng and Aunt Li were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Jin Shilin leaned back on the living room sofa, hugging a cushion and looking at her phone.

Chen Xinyi sat cross-legged next to her, with a laptop in front of her, having a video conference with Su Lai to discuss the timetable for the new round of Tage's investment.

Lin Siyan sat on the single sofa reading a financial magazine, her expression returning to its usual cool and indifferent state.

Wei Yi came downstairs with his phone in his hand.

He had just finished a game of endless runners and suddenly felt a bit bored with the game.

The main problem is that they just can't seem to get into the top three.

My best result so far is fourth place in my WeChat Moments.

Although it's much better than not even making the top ten in his previous life.

It's really frustrating to never be number one.

He's thinking of switching games.

Garbage training, garbage game!

"Sis, what are your plans for tonight?"

"Yes, I have."

Chen Xinyi continued typing without looking up, "After dinner, we'll have a family meeting to discuss the recipe adjustments for Heytea's new winter products. Sister Shilin said the new cheese foam is too sweet and needs to be reduced. Siyan brought up the cost accounting sheet, and we'll go over it together."

"That's all?"

"What else do you want?"

Wei Yi thought for a moment and didn't ask any further questions.

Dinner was a harmonious affair.

Chen Xinyi picked up a piece of pork rib for Lin Siyan, a very ordinary action.

Sister Chen often serves her food.

But tonight...

Chen Xinyi's eyes were too strange.

Strangely enough, Lin Siyan's ears turned slightly red under her gaze.

Then Lin Siyan was very happy, and then she lowered her head and ate the ribs.

The delicious flavor of the ribs is released in your mouth.

Lin Siyan felt a little silly.

If I had known it would bring me this much happiness.

Why did I have to endure this for so many months?

"Sizzle..."

The most composed person present chuckled.

Then Lin Siyan kicked him under the table.

Kim Se-rin: "What are you doing~"

After finishing the meal.

The meeting ended quickly.

The final version of the recipe for Sweet Ice Ice's new winter product has also been finalized.

Lin Siyan corrected several controversial data points on the cost accounting sheet.

Jin Shilin, standing beside him, gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of a top student from Renmin University."

Then Chen Xinyi closed her laptop, stood up, and announced the end of the meeting.

She walked up to Lin Siyan, took her hand, and then turned to look at Wei Yi, "Elbow."

"Where to?"

"Go inside and go to sleep."

As she was being pulled along, Lin Siyan, whose face had been beaming with pleasure, suddenly froze.

He even instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but Chen Xinyi held on too tightly.

"It's so early, only a little past eight o'clock," Wei Yi said speechlessly.

"What do you mean 'early'? It's freezing cold outside," Chen Xinyi said directly.

Lin Siyan whispered, "Xinyi, last night...didn't we agree it would only be once?"

"Once isn't enough! I wouldn't even want it once a day!"

Chen Xinyi smiled and pulled her towards the stairs, glancing back at Wei Yi, "Brother, Zhou, come inside with us!"

Wei Yi turned off the game website in his hand, stood up from the sofa, and followed.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

You can play for a while longer.

Behind Sister Lin.

He never gets tired of it.

Jin Shilin leaned back on the sofa armrest, watching the three figures walk towards the stairwell, and couldn't help but shout gloatingly, "Go, Siyan! Don't embarrass your Lin family!"

Lin Siyan turned around and glared at her, her expression a mixture of anger, shame, and resignation.

"...Get lost, you damn Korean!"

"Oh, you're getting angry now, aren't you?"

Then Lin Siyan was pulled into the master bedroom by Chen Xinyi.

Before the door closed.

Chen Xinyi leaned out and shouted loudly to Jin Shilin downstairs:

"Sister Se-rin, don't go to sleep yet. Let him carry you over in a bit."

Jin Shilin's face flushed red.

"Playing this big?! Can he handle it?!"

"Let's give it a try, so he won't be so arrogant every day." Chen Xinyi closed the door with a smile.

boom.

Kim Se-rin sat alone on the sofa, biting her lip and touching her face.

It's so hot.

But she also wondered what to do if she went there now?

master bedroom.

The door closed.

This time, Lin Siyan didn't keep her eyes closed the whole time.

She would still subconsciously bury her face in the pillow, but occasionally she would turn her head to look at Chen Xinyi.

Chen Xinyi lay beside them, her cheeks propped up, her bright peach blossom eyes fixed on them.

Under that gaze, Lin Siyan took the initiative to reach out and put her arms around Wei Yi's neck for the first time.

The movement was very light and short, as if afraid of being burned, and the hand immediately loosened.

But she did it anyway.

Chen Xinyi's smile deepened.

It was almost midnight when Kim Se-rin's door was knocked on.

She was leaning against the headboard flipping through a Korean fashion magazine when she saw Wei Yi carrying Chen Xinyi in, and she wasn't surprised at all.

"Huh? Didn't you tell me to go over there? Where's Siyan?"

"Going to sleep."

"Huh, I thought it would be three against one. Is this all?"

"It's only her second day, she's not used to it yet, that's perfectly normal."

Chen Xinyi jumped down from Wei Yi's arms and crawled into Jin Shilin's bed, her movements as practiced as if she were returning to her own room.

"Just a few more times and it'll be fine."

"Then what are you doing in my room?"

Wei Yi hadn't even finished saying "Damn it!"

"I missed you." Chen Xinyi wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, buried her face in her shoulder, and waved to Wei Yi. "Brother, let's avenge your sister Siyan!"

Jin Shilin: "..."

Forget it.

She had actually thought about it too.

the next morning.

Aunt Li came out of the kitchen carrying freshly steamed rice noodle rolls, ready to set them on the table.

She looked up and saw Lin Siyan coming down the stairs.

She was wearing a light blue loungewear dress with a light gray cardigan over it, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, and her face had a satisfied languor that I had never seen before.

This kind of expression was previously only seen on Miss Chen and Miss Jin's faces.

Now there's one more person.

Lin Siyan sat down at the dining table and took a sip of the warm water that Aunt Li had poured in advance.

Then another person came down the stairs.

Wei Yi walked to the dining table, pulled out the chair next to Lin Siyan, and sat down.

His hand naturally rested on her thigh and gently pressed it through her cotton loungewear.

Lin Siyan's body stiffened slightly, then she turned her head and glared at him.

But she didn't slap his hand away or yell at him like she used to.

She simply whispered, "Aunt Li is here," and then continued drinking her warm water.

Aunt Li placed the rice noodle rolls on the table without looking at them, then turned and quickly walked back to the kitchen.

Aunt Zheng was chopping scallions in the kitchen, the rhythm of the knife hitting the cutting board as steady as ever.

Aunt Li stood beside her for a moment, then lowered her voice and sighed, "Miss Lin finally... sigh, I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Aunt Zheng didn't even look up, the cleaver in her hand continuing to clang.

"You're only just realizing it? I knew she couldn't escape it from the first few days I arrived."

"How did you figure that out?"

"Because... never mind. I should say it's intuition."

Aunt Zheng smiled faintly, put the chopped scallions into the bowl, and picked up the next scallion.

"But it's alright."

"Anything is fine?" Aunt Li was taken aback.

"This is a good ending, too."

Aunt Li paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
