On the second floor of the Yu family.
After changing clothes and applying makeup, Wen Jinyan took out a small velvet box from her bag.
She threw it to Yu Wen.
"Here, a birthday gift."
Yu Wen reached out and took it. He saw the logo and smiled.
"Oh, as expected of mother and son, you both like the same watch brand."
Wen Jinyan was surprised, "Your son also gave you a watch?"
Yu Wen pointed to the watch on his wrist with a showy, childish tone:
"Looks good, right? My son gave it to me."
He had stuffed it into her arms before going to school.
Wen Jinyan: "..."
Upon closer inspection, it was actually more expensive than the one she bought.
"Where did he get so much money?"
Yu Wen raised an eyebrow, "Don't you know where he got his money?"
Wen Jinyan tutted, showing some worry, "He's already in his second year of high school, won't he settle down?"
Yu Wen hugged his wife from behind, unconcerned, "Xiao Wen knows what he's doing. He knows better than us what he wants."
Wen Jinyan was about to nod when she suddenly realized he was touching her in the wrong place.
"Slap—"
She slapped the back of his hand, exasperated, "Aren't you going to work?"
Yu Wen looked wronged, "It's my birthday today, and you're just sending me off with a watch?"
Wen Jinyan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, "Didn't you have enough last night?"
"No."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them had already fallen onto the bed.
With their breathing ragged, the only sentence that flashed through Wen Jinyan's mind was.
Her clothes and makeup were ruined again!
-
She had woken up early today, so there was plenty of time, and she drove slowly.
The unhurried pace was perfect for sleep.
Wen Tingxue tried hard to stare ahead, forcing her eyes open, as if wanting to fight off sleep.
But soon she succumbed, her little head bobbing.
Like a chick pecking at rice.
Yu Wenli propped his head up and observed her with amusement for a moment, a doting smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
His eyes were filled with tenderness.
The next second, his long arm wrapped around the girl's slender shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.
Wen Tingxue was groggy, only sensing a familiar and pleasant scent.
She couldn't help but rub her face against the fabric under his skin.
It was a bit rough, but very warm.
She had been mentally exhausted lately, and her sleep quality was really poor.
Now that she had finally found a place of security, she naturally didn't care about anything else and slept soundly.
Yu Wenli looked down at the girl's unguarded sleeping face, and a softness he had never experienced before suddenly welled up in his heart.
It was indescribable, yet enough to make him compromise on everything.
Compromise...
Catching this word, Yu Wenli paused for a few seconds, then a smile spread across his lips.
He had never compromised on anything in his life.
It had always been others who compromised with him.
Yu Wenli reached out and gently touched the girl's long, curled eyelashes, then pinched her soft, smooth cheek.
He thought, maybe it wasn't impossible to compromise.
At least she was worth it.
...
The car was a bit stuck when it was nearing the school.
It moved forward inch by inch.
Wen Tingxue was woken up, her eyes still groggy as she snuggled in Yu Wenli's arms.
Her gaze was blankly fixed on the long line of cars ahead, as if she hadn't realized where she was.
Yu Wenli was amused by her dazed cuteness. His slender fingers gently stroked her blinking eyelids.
The calluses on his fingertips brushed against her thin skin, making her ticklish.
She instinctively hid further into his arms, letting out an unconscious whimper.
It sounded like she was coquettish.
Yu Wenli immediately stopped, his lazy voice laced with teasing.
"Awake? My arms are getting sore."
"Mmm..."
With a sleepy nasal tone, she was halfway through her response when Wen Tingxue suddenly came to her senses and instinctively tried to sit up.
However, as soon as the distance increased by five centimeters, she was pulled back.
His heartbeat was steady and strong, close to her ear.
Wen Tingxue felt his body temperature was too high, making her cheeks hot.
"You... weren't your arms sore?"
The little girl couldn't move, so she had to lift her innocent little face and look at him with her clear eyes.
She tried to use this silent display of affection to get him to let go.
But she didn't know that her fair skin and rosy face made her even more irresistible.
Yu Wenli's lips curved into a smile, his voice so tender it made one dizzy, but his hand did not loosen at all.
"It is a bit sore."
Wen Tingxue was enchanted by him, but she still maintained a shred of reason.
Just as she was about to say, "Then let go," Yu Wenli leisurely finished his sentence.
"But I can still hold you."
"..."
Wen Tingxue had no words to refute, so she simply snuggled into his arms and looked at his phone with him.
He was looking at professional forums and科普 websites, which she didn't quite understand.
It felt profound and obscure.
And with school approaching, she moved her head, preparing to speak.
The next second, Chi Zerui's message popped up.
Since conversations were private, it wasn't convenient for her to look.
To avoid suspicion, she shifted her gaze outside.
But Yu Wenli didn't seem to mind, his tone casual, "What did you want to tell me?"
Accompanying his words was the noisy music playing from the phone's speaker.
It sounded like the club music from TV shows.
Wen Tingxue wiggled her ears, feeling a bit curious, but didn't turn her head.
"I..."
As soon as she spoke, he turned her head.
"Does it hurt to talk with your head turned?"
He raised an eyebrow, his eyes teasing.
Wen Tingxue moved her lips, wanting to explain.
As if he had expected it, he raised his hand and waved his phone in front of her without hesitation.
"Brother has no secrets to hide, Sister Yi Yi can look freely, the password is six zeros."
"..."
Wen Tingxue was speechless, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
Her already flushed ear tips turned completely red.
He had actively told her his phone password and told her to look freely.
Did that mean she was qualified to enter his private space?
Her wandering gaze inadvertently fell on his upright phone screen, and her eyes widened.
A voluptuous, sexy woman was dancing with a pole, her long hair seductive.
Her clothes were so short, it was as if she wasn't wearing any.
Wen Tingxue gasped and swallowed, "This..."
This is too scandalous!
Before she could say the rest, she heard Yu Wenli say in a calm voice:
"What's wrong? A-Rui sent a video, asking me to listen to which song it is."
The latter sentence was an explanation.
Wen Tingxue pursed her lips. She felt that if she said anything, he would probably treat her like an ancient person.
Because his expression and tone suggested he was accustomed to this.
It seemed he didn't think such attire was too revealing.
Or perhaps, it was just her own subjective opinion that the attire was too provocative.
Wen Tingxue lowered her eyes, her expression calm, lost in thought.
Yu Wenli furrowed his brow and turned off the video.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
He gently lifted her chin, his eyes meticulously observing her expression.
Afraid of missing any detail.
Wen Tingxue had never been able to withstand his gaze. After a moment of thought, she still asked.
"Brother Yu, do you... think that kind of clothing is... revealing?"
Her eyes held no excessive emotion when she asked.
It seemed to be pure curiosity.
But Yu Wenli knew what she meant. She wanted to know if that video was considered revealing in his eyes.
Or, more accurately, would it affect his impression of her?
