Sha Zhixing entered the house and wanted to walk straight to her room. Just as she was about to walk up the stairs, An Xin's voice suddenly came from a corner of the living room. "You're back so soon?"
Sha Zhixing stopped in her tracks, turned her head, looked at her and nodded gently. "Yes."
"Where's Xichen?" An Xin asked matter-of-factly.
Sha Zhixing was stunned by her question.
Why did her first reaction when she saw her was to ask Luo Xichen?
Was she so close to him that the people around her would automatically think of the other person when they saw one?
An Xin was dissatisfied with her silence. She glanced at her and said, "Mom is talking to you!"
Sha Zhixing came back to her senses and said in a very perfunctory tone, "I came back first."
An Xin seemed a little surprised by her answer.
Today was Luo Xichen's first day back in the country. Sha Zhixing and Luo Xichen had grown up together and they were so close. They had only met after such a long time. She shouldn't have come back so soon.
An Xin looked at her strangely and wanted to ask more questions, but Sha Zhixing cut her off first. "Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs first."
"Who told you I have nothing else..." An Xin wanted to retort, but Sha Zhixing turned her back and limped upstairs while holding the stairs.
An Xin wanted to switch places with her, but she held back her impulse when she saw her staggering back.
Seeing that the girl's feet seemed to be suffering, she didn't force her.
Sha Zhixing went upstairs and directly returned to her room. She closed the door behind her and took out a nightgown from the wardrobe. She wanted to change into it immediately, but the shoulder strap of the gown had just been pulled off. She seemed to have thought of something, and her hands stopped moving. Her gaze suddenly turned in the direction of the window.
The window was wide open, and there was a small balcony outside the window. Opposite the balcony was the balcony of a pure male room. The design of the room was mainly gray and white, masculine and strong.
The windows and the balcony of both rooms were facing each other. A large magnolia tree was planted in the middle of the room. Standing in each other's room, one could clearly see the panoramic view of the opposite room. They were even very close to each other, crawling from one end to the other. It was a piece of cake.
The opposite room had always been empty when Luo Xichen was not in the country, but now, he was back...
Sha Zhixing was stunned for a few seconds. She walked stiffly to the window and wanted to close the curtains when a slender figure slowly appeared in her field of vision.
Luo Xichen had obviously just returned to his room. He was surprised to see her standing in front of the window as soon as he entered the room. He stared at her for a few seconds before his gaze slowly moved down to her shoulder.
Sha Zhixing had been wearing a small gown. She was about to change and the zipper on her back was unzipped. The exquisite gown hung loosely on her shoulder, revealing her round and fragrant shoulders.
Her skin was very fair and translucent. There was even a hint of pink in her fair skin. It was like the finest jade. Under the cream-white light, it seemed to be covered with a layer of halo. It was hazy, dreamy, and exquisite collarbone. She looked like a butterfly that was about to fly away. She looked very sexy, which did not match her face.
Luo Xichen did not expect to see such a beauty before he could even stand firmly in the room. His eyes lingered on her delicate shoulders for a long time.
Sha Zhixing did not know what he was looking at at first, until she saw his eyes darken. His eyes moved down to her body at an extremely slow speed. She was stunned for a few seconds, then her face turned red and she cried out, "AH!"
Then, the curtains were drawn.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before." Outside the window, Luo Xichen's deep voice seemed to contain a hint of a smile.
"That was when I was young!" Sha Zhixing was so angry that she threw a pillow out the window.
Luo Xichen grunted from outside the window.
Sha Zhixing was stunned.
When did her technique hit the mark?
Luo Xichen was standing on the balcony of his room, holding a huge plush toy pillow in his hand. It had just flown out of the opposite window.
He looked down and thought of Sha Zhixing's blushing face. He felt that it was very pleasing to the eye.
Yes, it was pleasing to the eye. Sha Zhixing's flustered look was even more attractive than the women who took off their clothes and walked around him.
Sha Zhixing closed the curtains and went straight into the bathroom. She washed up and took a bath. After about half an hour, she wanted to get some clean clothes to change into, but her hand searched for a long time at the place where the clothes were placed, but it was empty.
She opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the empty spot.
She did not bring them in.
She had prepared the clothes before, but she forgot to bring them when Luo Xichen interrupted her on the way in...
Most importantly, she did not seem to have locked the bedroom door...
Sha Zhixing patted her head in frustration and blamed it on Luo Xichen.
What should she do now?
The living room downstairs was very lively because of a sudden visitor.
"Xichen, shouldn't you be at the party?" An Xin led Luo Xichen into the house and invited him to sit down. She looked at him kindly.
Luo Xichen looked around the house quietly and handed the two gift boxes to her. He smiled and said, "I just came back to China. I thought I hadn't greeted you for a long time. I thought I'd drop by. These are your gifts."
An Xin had watched Luo Xichen grow up. Every time someone from the Luo family came back from abroad, they would send gifts to the Sha family. She was not surprised to receive gifts from Luo Xichen again. She accepted the gifts without hesitation. "You are such a thoughtful child. I thank you on behalf of your uncle as well."
Luo Xichen smiled faintly. He glanced upstairs subconsciously and asked as if nothing had happened. "Is Zhixing home?"
"Yes. She was going to your party today. She even took two invitations with her. I don't know why she came back so early."
Luo Xichen knew the reason but he did not explain further. He smiled faintly and asked again, "How is Zhixing?"
An Xin thought that he was concerned about Sha Zhixing's recent situation and asked casually. "Oh, that girl. Don't mention it. She has never spared your Uncle Sha and me any trouble. When I asked her to choose her major, she could study enterprise management and occasionally help the family. She refused and insisted on studying design. It has been a few months since she graduated, but no one wants her. How am I supposed to face them?"
The Sha family was a well-off family in City C. They ran a small company. Although they were not as powerful as the Luo family, they did not want their daughter to work for others to earn money.
