Bearing a smile, Li Yuan drew close with the pair of gloves and kneeled before Shen Xi. “Put Toffeecito aside.”
Shen Xi shook her head as she observed the man’s closed-up facial features. Feeling a tingle under her skin, she gulped and asked, “Brother, let’s Netflix and chill?”

Li Yuan was caught in a daze while reflecting on her words. Without a word, he grabbed her hands and affectionately put the gloves on before tugging at each finger. It took him a while to utter, “No.”
What did she have in that little head of hers? Her dad would slice him apart with a knife if he tried anything on her.
“How about a preview?” Shen Xi’s voice was gruff and raspy.
Her sparkling eyes like the stars were pure and innocent yet capable of making his heart beat out of his chest. Li Yuan’s gaze fell on her lips for a moment before moving away. There was a huskiness to his voice. “We’d be found out.”
Shen Xi scoffed. “Pussy.”

Li Yuan dotingly smiled as he leaned forward to meet her lips. “I’m sure a little preview doesn’t hurt.”
Shen Xi hooked his neck down to take the kiss up a notch.
Li Yuan rested his forehead against hers to stop her from fueling the fire. What if he could not control himself and kiss her lips until they were swollen? His tone carried clear suggestions of tenderness and scratchiness. “Happy birthday.”
Glued face-to-face, their breathings interlocked.
Shen Xi buried her face against his neck and deeply drew a breath in. Her lungs were filled with overpowering joy, so full that her eyes felt warm and watery.
“What’s wrong?” Li Yuan panicked because of the girl’s sudden and weird reaction. Caressing her hair with his gentle hand, he drew his lips to her ear.
Like a kitten, Shen Xi nuzzled his neck and sighed. “Brother, it’s great I can be with you.”
It was at this very moment that all the sorrow, pain, and struggles in the past suddenly resurfaced and disappeared all at once. With the bitterness, pain, and despair gone, all that was left was happiness. Her heart was full.
Curling his lips, Li Yuan held her and murmured as if to tell her and himself, “Thank you for coming into my life.”
Something snapped in Shen Xi as she bit her lips to stop the tears from flowing.
Perhaps because she withstood so much just to hear these words. Shen Xi walked a thousand miles, over the mountain, through the valleys, and into the woods, transmigrating through lives, just to walk into his life.
In the end, she emerged before him in the best version of herself.
Li Yuan was thrown into a fluster by the girl’s shaking shoulders. She was crying. Her tears dampened his clothes, streaming from his neck and straight to scorching his aching heart.
He did not move an inch, nor did he ask her the matter. Li Yuan knew the best decision was to let her quietly cry it out. Still, his heart was suspended in the air and eating him up alive.
Outside, the snowstorm was howling.
There was a knock on the door. It was Shen Zhangqing who told her to come home.
Shen Xi lay on the sofa after a good cry.
“Go home.” Li Yuan applied a hard-boiled egg to her eyes to ease the swelling. The father-in-law would blame him and chase him with a knife if she were to return with those eyes.
“Brother, are my eyes okay?” Shen Xi sniffled. Her eyes felt bulgy when she blinked.
“No.” Li Yuan shook his head as he gently patted her furry head. “Go home. Leave the rest to me.”
“I can handle myself.” Shen Xi sat up and carried Toffeecito who was nestled on the side.
Li Yuan helped her put on her shoes and sent her to the door.
Shen Zhangqing stood by the door as the pair made their way out together. He inspected Shen Xi from head to toe until his gaze lingered on Shen Xi’s eyes. He silently adopted a fierce countenance.
Shen Xi happily stuffed Toffeecito in his arms and took one of his arms. “Dad, let’s go.”
Shen Zhangqing gave Li Yuan the evil eye. Why were his daughter’s eyes swollen? The kid sure had the nerve to bully his daughter!
Shen Xi looked back and waved at Li Yuan. “I’m coming over tomorrow to finish the movie. Don’t watch without me, Brother.”
Li Yuan nodded and agreed to it.
Furrowing his brows, Shen Zhangqing asked, “Were you two watching a movie?”
Shen Xi bobbed her head. “Yes. It’s so moving. I couldn’t stop crying.”
Shen Zhangqing gazed suspiciously at her.
Holding his arm, Shen Xi took strides and explained the movie she saw vividly.
Shen Zhangqing carefully examined Shen Xi. Since nothing was out of the ordinary other than her swollen eyes, Shen Zhangqing took to her words and was put at ease.
Those who were staying over had not gone to bed yet and were inattentively watching the TV in the living room. With Shen Xi home, they went on with their business.
Song Wenye pulled Shen Xi right up to her bedroom on the first floor. Once in the room, she shut the door and inquired in wonder, “Holy f*ck! Toffeecito’s Dad must a beast to make you cry.”
“Get lost.” Shen Xi scornfully looked daggers at her.
“Why are your eyes swollen?” Finding it odd, Song Wenye mumbled while getting on to pull down Shen Xi’s zipper to check on her neck and collar for any suspicious markings.
Shen Xi slapped her hand away and stared at her. “You’re one to talk! Your lips are swollen. Get your *ss to my brother’s room. I don’t want to sleep with you.”
She opened the door to shove Song Wenye out.
Song Wenye held onto the door, refusing to leave. She even put her hands together to plead. “I was wrong. I was wrong. Please. Please let me in.”
With the elders around, she had no guts to share a room with Yu Yuanxi. Besides, their relationship was only at first base and nothing beyond that.
Shen Xi finally laid off her, but soon, Song Wenye dragged her into the bathroom for a shower together. Song Wenye intended to pull Shen Tang along, but the latter was busy at work. Lame.
After hitting the showers, Shen Xi pinched Song Wenye and gnashed her teeth. “See! I told you nothing happened!”
Song Wenye’s mind was in the gutter. “You were away for half an hour. If you count foreplay into the mix, it means Toffecito’s dad finished short. You should really reconsider whether you still want to be with him.”
Shen Xi wanted to drive her hands around Song Wenye’s neck. Curling her lips, Shen Xi asked in return, “What about my brother? How long did he last?”
Song Wenye paused before secretively speaking in hushed tones. “I hadn’t tried yet. I’ll let you know when I do it.”
Shen Xi could swear. F*ck!
Unfazed, Song Wenye blissfully pushed Shen Xi back into the room.
With all fun and games over, it was time for a wash and bed.. Soon, the home quieted down and only the wind outside could be heard scratching against the window.
