A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 363 Bathtub Musings, A Day of Utter Relaxation
Last night, Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu decided to indulge a little and completely skip studying, so they played games for a long time.
A retaliatory spree of fun.
Then, they browsed each other's Douyin feeds.
The feeling of releasing restrictions was pretty good.
Staying up late was all about the atmosphere.
Both of them were trying their best to let loose.
Besides playing games, they kept munching on snacks and fruits.
And sweet carbonated drinks.
It could be said that everything was in place, except for sex.
And so, it went on until two in the morning.
The two of them, just like they occasionally rewarded each other before, slept together on the master bedroom's bed...
The next day, February 6th, the day before taking the train home.
Because they had turned off the alarm, the two of them slept until they naturally woke up.
But Xia Xinyu woke up first.
After opening her eyes, she put her hand on Chen Yuan's body and straddled him with one leg, staring at him like that.
Only when she felt Chen Yuan slowly open his eyes did she giggle.
Looking at the cute girl with a slightly upturned cowlick in the middle of her hair and a smile on her face, Chen Yuan said groggily, "Morning, Yu-zi."
"Woof woof woof!"
Then, Yu-zi leaned over.
"It's Xin-yu, Xin-bao, Yu-bao, Baobei (darling)!" Xia Xinyu corrected Chen Yuan's nicknames while pinching and ruthlessly kneading Chen Yuan's face.
There were clearly so many affectionate names she could use, but the one that came out in his most natural state was 'Yu-zi.'
Who calls their girlfriend Yu-zi?
"Okay, okay, sorry."
Chen Yuan was roused awake and said this while lifting one foot and straddling her as well, completely wrapping Xin-yu in his arms like a body pillow, pressing his soft face against hers, embracing her fully.
"It's so late, shouldn't we be making breakfast?" Xia Xinyu asked, hugging Chen Yuan as well.
"Didn't we say we're going to lie around like corpses today, not doing anything, just being decadent at home for a day?" Chen Yuan asked in return.
"That's what we said, but I still feel a little guilty..."
"Thinking about how there are still so many children in Africa who don't have enough to eat or wear, right?"
"It's not that, it's just that I feel like this kind of life is too unbridled."
"Slacking off is like this, you just have to get used to it."
"But I can't get used to it." Xia Xinyu turned her head, lying flat on her back, and complained, "When I'm at your house, I have to keep the same schedule as if I'm going to school."
"Don't be so tense, relax a little, just like you're at home, rest well," Chen Yuan said soothingly.
"I can't." Xia Xinyu shook her head and said, "In our area, if you sleep until you naturally wake up at a boy's house, people will gossip."
"Didn't they say that Xiang girls all sleep in, play mahjong, quarrel with their husbands, and scold their children?"
"That's after marriage." Xia Xinyu turned her head to look at Chen Yuan and explained seriously, "You have to put on a show before you get married."
"..." Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitching awkwardly, "Will Xin-yu be like that after marriage?"
"Don't worry, I'm an outstanding female representative of Jingnan."
"Are you starting to talk nonsense after oversleeping..."
Chen Yuan always felt that Xia Xinyu's current state was not quite right.
"It's a little bit, I feel even more tired after getting enough sleep."
Xia Xinyu slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed her face, and also planned to get up.
And Chen Yuan looked at the cowlick beauty beside him, revealing a sincere smile.
When will he stop feeling fortunate and complacent because there's a Xin-yu sleeping next to his pillow?
"Get up, get up." Xia Xinyu grabbed Chen Yuan's hand, reminding him not to laze around anymore, "Put on your clothes first, brush your teeth, then eat breakfast..."
"And then?" Chen Yuan asked in return.
"Study..."
"I said today is a corpse-lying day, I can't study."
"Then just study a little bit..."
"No studying."
"Go out for a walk."
"It's so cold outside, forget it."
"Then let's play games together for a while."
"No energy, I don't really want to play."
"Eat some dumplings?"
As soon as Xia Xinyu finished speaking, Chen Yuan bounced up from the bed, put on his sweater, socks, and indoor pajamas.
Looking at such a man, Xia Xinyu couldn't help but shake her head, then sighed in her heart: Pornography is truly the primary productive force.
"So, are we going to start eating now?" Chen Yuan asked.
To this, the corners of Xia Xinyu's mouth gently curved up, revealing a smile...
………
The two of them sat at the table, facing each other, with a bowl of steaming dumplings in front of each of them.
"What's wrong, Bao (treasure), are the dumplings not tasty?" Xia Xinyu asked with a giggle.
"If you stick your foot out, I'll peel your skin off, or my name isn't Chen Yuan." Chen Yuan was angry.
"Hehe." Xia Xinyu hid her feet firmly in her slippers, not letting Chen Yuan succeed.
The two of them ate breakfast at almost half-past eleven like this.
After eating, the two of them decided to carry out their laziness to the end, leaving the bowls to be washed away by the way after ordering takeout at night.
And Chen Yuan continued to return to the bedroom to lie around like a corpse, and sincerely invited Xia Xinyu to play a few rounds of the exciting and stimulating vertical-screen version of Hero Kill 2v2.
However, she used the excuse of having to take a good bath before going home, bringing clean clothes to the bathroom, wanting to take a bath, and most importantly, wash her hair.
After walking into the bathroom, she looked at the bathtub that had never been used and suddenly thought that since she moved in, it had been very late every day after school, so she could only take a shower. During the holidays, she also needed to speed up tutoring and cook, so she didn't have time to wait for the hot water to fill up and slowly take a bath.
Since today is a day of indulgence, then let's completely relax.
So, Xia Xinyu closed the window, locked the door, and filled the bathtub with hot water.
Then, she took off her clothes and entered the bathtub naked, her two fair and smooth arms resting on both sides of the bathtub...
Tilting her head back, she closed her eyes and enjoyed soaking in the bath.
The heat was thus diffused in the small bathroom, becoming warmer and warmer.
Xia Xinyu, who had eaten her fill, felt more and more sleepy as she soaked...
……
Why has Xin-yu been so long?
Chen Yuan felt that the bath was taking a bit long, so he got out of bed and went to the bathroom door.
Then he saw, through the glass door, that it was all steamy inside.
"Xin-yu, are you done washing?" Chen Yuan asked worriedly.
However, there was no response.
Damn it!
Chen Yuan immediately opened the door, but it was locked.
So, he knocked on the door hard: "Xin-yu! Xin-yu!"
After about ten seconds, someone finally responded.
"I...I'm coming...soon..."
There was a voice, but it was very tired and weak.
Then, he heard the sound of water.
However, the door was not opened quickly.
Crap!
Could it be that she was short of oxygen, and fainted the moment she got up?
The sound of splashing just now, he didn't know if it was her getting out of the water or falling into the water.
Time Stop!
Chen Yuan didn't care, he would stop time first.
After pausing, he quickly went to find a hard card.
In the end, he found a meal card.
It should work.
With this thought in mind, he thought about how the locksmith did it, passing the card through the gap, and then clicking it upwards!
Miraculously, it really opened.
As expected of an old and dilapidated building, a decorative lock.
Xin-yu, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!
Dropping the card, Chen Yuan pushed the door open directly!
"..."
Then, he was immediately stunned in place.
He saw Xia Xinyu coming out of the bathtub, barefoot on the ground, holding a bath towel, starting to wrap it from behind, planning to wrap it around herself before opening the door.
However, because time was stopped, she had only wrapped her back and buttocks, and the front was completely open...
Standing in place, Chen Yuan looked at Xin-yu in front of him.
Although her face was a little flushed, she could at least stand up on her own, indicating that the lack of oxygen was not serious, and she would be fine after going out to get some fresh air.
Now, Chen Yuan was relieved.
And after being relieved, he could put his focus elsewhere.
Her hair was still completely wet, sticking to her skin. Countless moist water droplets remained on her fair and flawless skin, frozen at this moment...
Standing in place, Chen Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking up and down, back and forth, appreciating it repeatedly, and gave a five-star rating:
"As expected of our Xin-yu, you look good everywhere."
