Xu Xiuwen snapped back to reality.
He asked again, "What did you say? You did my homework for me?"
Tang Weiwei looked up at him briefly, then quickly lowered her head.
"You didn't come to class. I didn't want you to miss out on participation points, so I did it for you."
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Weiwei was quietly doing what she could for him behind the scenes.
If he hadn't asked today, this silly girl might never have mentioned it.
Compared to those girls who only wanted to take without giving, Tang Weiwei's character was truly endearing.
Xu Xiuwen was very touched.
Tang Weiwei kept her head down, and Xu Xiuwen could only see her bangs.
"Look at me!"
His tone was slightly commanding.
Tang Weiwei obediently raised her head to look at him.
Her eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky, filled with a girl's affection.
Xu Xiuwen gently tapped Tang Weiwei's delicate nose.
He smiled warmly and said, "Thank you, Weiwei."
Tang Weiwei shook her head.
"I didn't do it for your thanks."
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
"I know, but I still want to thank you."
"Oh."
Xu Xiuwen purposely ruffled her hair and laughed heartily.
"Alright, I'll walk you back to your dorm."
After escorting Tang Weiwei to the girls' dormitory, Xu Xiuwen returned to Jiangning Garden.
Xu Xiuwen changed his shoes at the entrance.
A figure quietly approached him from behind.
The figure got closer and closer.
Just as it was about to reach Xu Xiuwen, he suddenly turned his head, letting out a loud "Boo!"
The girl behind him was so startled she nearly fell.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh at An Shishi's reaction.
An Shishi calmed down and pouted, "You're so mean, why did you scare me?"
Xu Xiuwen laughed and asked, "How can you accuse me? Weren't you trying to scare me first?"
An Shishi denied it.
"No, I wasn't. You're slandering me."
Xu Xiuwen pointed to the living room light and then to her bare feet.
"You came in, didn't turn on the light, didn't wear slippers, and sneaked up behind me. Tell me you weren't trying to scare me? Were you planning to surprise me instead?"
An Shishi had no response.
She walked over to Xu Xiuwen, hooked her arm around his, and curiously asked, "How did you know I was behind you without turning around?"
Xu Xiuwen laughed and explained.
"You were afraid I'd hear your footsteps, so you took off your slippers. But did you forget to hide the shoes on the shoe rack?"
An Shishi glanced at the shoe rack.
A pair of women's shoes was neatly placed on it.
She realized that the shoes had given her away.
An Shishi giggled.
"Honey, you have great observation skills."
Xu Xiuwen rolled his eyes at her and walked towards the living room.
An Shishi put on the slippers she had taken off and followed him into the living room.
Xu Xiuwen turned on the living room light and asked, "Why did you come alone? Didn't Lulu come?"
An Shishi replied.
"Cheng Lu has some student council matters, so she couldn't come tonight."
"Then why are you here?"
An Shishi pouted.
"You're so biased. Are you not happy that I came?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
"No, I'm not."
Hearing this, An Shishi immediately started to cry, tears welling up in her eyes as she whimpered.
Even though Xu Xiuwen knew she was acting, he couldn't bear to see her cry.
He said, "Alright, stop pretending. Come here."
An Shishi walked over.
Xu Xiuwen took her hand, pulled her onto his lap, and hugged her waist.
He gently stroked the girl's waist and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
An Shishi shook her head. "Not yet. I came over right after class. Have you eaten, honey?"
"I have. How about I take you out to eat?"
An Shishi shook her head. "No need, I'll just make something simple at home."
Xu Xiuwen said, "Alright, let's see what's in the fridge."
He patted An Shishi's butt, signaling her to stand up.
After An Shishi stood up, Xu Xiuwen got up and walked towards the kitchen.
He found two tomatoes, a handful of long beans, and a piece of pork in the fridge.
Xu Xiuwen said, "How about tomato and egg stir-fry and stir-fried beans with pork?"
An Shishi nodded. "That's enough. I can't eat that much."
Xu Xiuwen started cooking.
While he was cooking, An Shishi stood behind him, hugging his waist. "Honey, how do you know how to do everything? You're really amazing."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled without saying anything.
Seeing that he didn't respond, An Shishi added, "Honey, you're so good to me, even cooking for me yourself."
Xu Xiuwen then asked, "How do you plan to repay me?"
An Shishi laughed. "I have no money, so it looks like I'll have to repay you with my body."
Xu Xiuwen scolded, "You're such a little tease."
An Shishi pouted. "Honey, why are you scolding me?"
Xu Xiuwen asked, "If another man cooked for you, would you also repay him with your body? Are you that casual?"
An Shishi tightly hugged Xu Xiuwen's waist, pressing her face against his back.
"That's because it's you, honey. If it were another man, I wouldn't eat his food."
Xu Xiuwen said, "So you won't eat at the cafeteria or restaurants anymore?"
An Shishi pouted playfully. "That's different. I meant if a guy cooks just for me, I won't eat it. I'll only eat yours."
Xu Xiuwen asked, "Eat what of mine?"
An Shishi replied, "Of course, I'll eat your... food, honey. What else? Haha..."
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but shake his head.
This little troublemaker.
One moment without scolding her and she'd cause trouble.
After dinner, Xu Xiuwen watched TV in the living room.
An Shishi sat next to him, her hands constantly wandering.
Xu Xiuwen moved her hands away several times, but she kept doing it.
Xu Xiuwen's anger started to rise.
But he remained rational and said, "Stop it."
An Shishi leaned into his ear and asked, "Don't you want to?"
Xu Xiuwen shook his head. "No."
An Shishi suddenly stuck out her tongue.
She licked Xu Xiuwen's earlobe and said, "Your mouth can lie, but your body can't."
Xu Xiuwen shivered and said, "What if Cheng Lu comes?"
An Shishi giggled. "I've already checked. They have a meeting at 7, which will last at least an hour. By the time it's over, it'll be almost 9. She definitely won't come over."
"Really? You're not lying?" Xu Xiuwen was half-convinced.
"I wouldn't lie to you, honey."
Xu Xiuwen was still uneasy but already swayed.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Lulu."
An Shishi's face lit up with a smile.
Xu Xiuwen took out his phone and called Cheng Lu.
He immediately told her he missed her and asked if she would come over tonight.
Cheng Lu's response matched An Shishi's. She said she had a meeting tonight that would run late, so she couldn't come over.
Xu Xiuwen "disappointedly" chatted for a bit, then hung up.
As soon as the call ended, An Shishi started licking him.
Now there were no worries left.
How could Xu Xiuwen indulge her? He picked An Shishi up and headed straight to her room, not foolishly going to the master bedroom.
Once inside her room, Xu Xiuwen walked to the bed and tossed An Shishi onto it.
Her slender body bounced up and down on the spring mattress.
Xu Xiuwen turned to lock the door.
He didn't forget to lock the sliding door facing the balcony and draw the curtains.
After finishing all this, Xu Xiuwen walked towards An Shishi, who had transformed from a seductive little vixen into a pure young girl lying on the bed.
She huddled at the head of the bed, nervously watching Xu Xiuwen. "What are you doing? Don't come any closer."
Seeing that Xu Xiuwen was ignoring her, she continued, "I have a husband. If you touch me, he won't let you go."
Xu Xiuwen saw she was still acting, so he played along.
He sneered, "Your husband won't let me go? I won't let you go first. Soon, you'll be calling me husband."
An Shishi, both embarrassed and angry, shouted, "Shameless!"
Xu Xiuwen pounced on her.
An Shishi struggled like a virtuous woman defending her chastity.
Though her resistance was weak, her performance made Xu Xiuwen's heart race.
...
Afterwards, An Shishi hid her head under the covers, too embarrassed to face anyone.
Fearing she might suffocate, Xu Xiuwen lifted the blanket.
When the blanket was lifted, An Shishi lay on her side, back to Xu Xiuwen, curled up in a ball.
Xu Xiuwen reached out but hadn't touched her yet when she shouted, "Bastard, don't touch me!"
Xu Xiuwen said nothing, pulling her into his arms.
An Shishi didn't resist. She hung her head, resigned, murmuring, "How can I face anyone now?"
"Smack!"
Xu Xiuwen gave her a slap on the behind, shouting, "What's wrong with facing people? From now on, stick with me, and I'll take care of you."
An Shishi said nothing.
Xu Xiuwen frowned and asked coldly, "Didn't you hear me?"
Only then did An Shishi, feeling wronged, reply, "I heard you."
After a pause, she looked up at Xu Xiuwen, her eyes red.
In a small voice, she asked, "Will you really be good to me?"
Xu Xiuwen said, "You're my woman now. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to? Of course, you have to take good care of me in return."
An Shishi nodded obediently, then lay on Xu Xiuwen's chest without saying a word.
Her cheeks flushed, looking shy and endearing like a newlywed bride.
Five minutes passed.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "Had enough acting?"
An Shishi chuckled and countered, "Did you like it?"
Xu Xiuwen thought for a moment and couldn't deny he liked it.
He admitted, "Occasionally, it's nice."
An Shishi suddenly asked, "Honey, what time is it now?"
Xu Xiuwen picked up his clothes from the floor, found his phone, and checked the time.
It was already 8:30.
They had been at it for almost two hours.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "It's 8:30. Are you going back tonight?"
An Shishi said, "I don't want to go back."
Cuddling with a woman at night felt great.
If An Shishi went back, Xu Xiuwen would have to sleep alone, so he hoped she would stay.
"Then don't go back. Leave in the morning."
An Shishi shook her head. "I want to stay, but I'm afraid Cheng Lu will get suspicious if I do. And if I stay, I'm afraid you will want more tonight. I can't handle it."
Xu Xiuwen was speechless.
An Shishi noticed his expression and sweetly smiled.
She leaned over and kissed Xu Xiuwen's cheek, saying, "Okay, don't be angry. Next time, no matter how long you want to do it, I'll accompany you."
Xu Xiuwen wasn't in such a rush.
After their fight earlier, he had already vented all his desires.
Moreover, An Shishi had a point—if she didn't go back, stayed overnight, Cheng Lu might suspect something between them.
Xu Xiuwen nodded. "Alright."
An Shishi kissed Xu Xiuwen's cheek again and smiled, "Thank you, hubby."
An Shishi continued to lie down for a few minutes, then sat up to get dressed.
Her skin was dazzlingly white in the lamplight, and every part of her body was alluring.
Xu Xiuwen began dressing as well.
After An Shishi finished dressing, she tidied up the bed a bit.
As she left the room, An Shishi deliberately took the key from the door.
This way, she wouldn't have to worry about Cheng Lu entering the room and finding evidence of their fight.
Xu Xiuwen planned to take An Shishi back to school, but she refused, only allowing him to escort her to the door.
After bidding farewell to An Shishi, the girl left.
Xu Xiuwen returned to the master bedroom, took a shower, and then went to bed.
The next day, Xu Xiuwen woke up naturally and didn't go to school for classes.
It wasn't until the afternoon that he went to Jiangling College and Jiaotong University to meet Guan Congshan and Secretary Li, respectively.
He didn't go empty-handed; he brought each of them a copy of Langya Chrysanthemum.
It's worth mentioning that the Ten Outstanding Young Students mentioned by Secretary Li had come down shortly after the school year began.
However, Xu Xiuwen was too busy at the time to rush back.
After leaving Secretary Li's office, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Xiuwen checked the time and bought a bunch of fresh ingredients from a nearby supermarket and market, then returned to Jiangning Huayuan.
Xu Xiuwen put all the groceries in the refrigerator.
Back in the living room, he started texting Cheng Lu, asking if she was free tonight and saying he was waiting for her at Jiangning Huayuan.
Cheng Lu didn't reply to his messages for a while.
It wasn't until nearly five o'clock that she finally responded.
Her reply was simple: "Hmm, I'll come over later."
He waited until 6:30.
Cheng Lu finally arrived.
But she wasn't alone—she was accompanied by An Shishi, each of them dragging a suitcase.
Xu Xiuwen was astonished, his mouth gaping open in disbelief.
Cheng Lu glanced at him and asked, "Why are you so surprised?"
Xu Xiuwen snapped out of his daze and asked, "Why are you both carrying suitcases?"
Cheng Lu replied, "What do you think?"
An Shishi popped out from behind, giggling, and explained, "Sometimes when we stay overnight, it's inconvenient without clothes, so we brought some over."
Xu Xiuwen teased, "I understand why Lulu brought clothes, but why did you bring clothes?"
An Shishi rolled her eyes at him. "If Lulu stays overnight, I'll stay overnight with her. Of course, I have to bring clothes too."
