Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

The next morning, soft sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Lin Muxi woke up early in this warm atmosphere.

The first moment she opened her eyes from her sleep, she subconsciously turned her head to look beside her, her gaze eagerly searching for Chen Chen's figure.

When she saw Chen Chen lying quietly beside her, his familiar features and peaceful posture coming into view,
An indescribable sense of happiness instantly welled up in Lin Muxi's heart, gently enveloping her entire being.

Thinking back to last night's excitement and frenzy.

Lin Muxi's cheeks instantly flushed a bright red.

She never expected that someone who was always serious and composed would show such a completely different side when the two of them were together.

Lin Muxi gazed quietly at Chen Chen, who was still fast asleep beside her. The soft morning light fell on his face, outlining his clear and handsome features.

Those eyes, which usually radiated wisdom and composure, were now tightly closed, their long eyelashes casting faint shadows beneath their eyelids.

The slightly upturned corners of her mouth seemed to still hold the joy of last night.

Lin Muxi couldn't help but gently reach out her hand, wanting to touch his face, her movements as slow as if she were afraid of disturbing a beautiful dream.

Her fingertips gently brushed against Chen Chen's cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin, a warmth that seemed to spread from her fingertips all the way to the depths of her heart.

Chen Chen seemed to sense the gentle touch, and stirred slightly in his sleep, his brows furrowing as he mumbled something indistinctly.

Lin Muxi was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, staring at him nervously. After a moment, seeing that he had resumed steady breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at her own nervousness.

She had planned to get up and make breakfast for Chen Chen.

But as soon as she tried to move her body, she instantly felt sore all over, as if every bone and muscle was protesting. Her whole body felt like it had fallen apart, weak and aching.

She sighed softly, then lay back down helplessly. Her eyes held regret, but even more so, a lingering sense of nostalgia for the wonderful moments of the previous night.

At this moment, Chen Chen seemed to sense the movement around him, stirred slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Lin Muxi in a daze and saw her lying there helplessly. He reached out and scooped her into his arms.

"I'm not cooking breakfast today, let's get some rest."

His voice carried the languidness unique to early morning.

Lin Muxi nestled gently in his arms, a blush rising on her face, and whispered a reproachful tone:

"It's all your fault, what happened last night... I have no strength left."

Chen Chen gently kissed her forehead and said with doting affection:

"It's my fault, thank you for your hard work. Once you've rested, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

As he spoke, he tightened his embrace, as if trying to meld her into his own body.

Lin Muxi mumbled softly, her voice as light as a dream, which could be considered as an echo of Chen Chen's words.

Then, like a lazy kitten, she nestled comfortably in Chen Chen's arms and slowly closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Muxi slowly woke up again.

She glanced at the time in a daze and realized it was almost time for her 8 a.m. class.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly became more alert, hurriedly trying to get up. But the soreness in her body made her groan softly, and she stopped moving.

Chen Chen sensed her movement and woke up as well. Seeing Lin Muxi's flustered appearance, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't worry, there's still time. If you really don't want to go to class, just ask for a day off."

Lin Muxi bit her lip, somewhat conflicted, and said:

"But I've already missed quite a few classes, and I'm afraid taking another leave will affect my grades. Besides, I heard today's class is quite important."

Chen Chen gently patted her head and said affectionately:
"Okay, I'll go to class with you. Get up and wash up first, then I'll go see what food is available and bring you some to eat on the way."

The two quickly got ready, and after leaving the house, Chen Chen bought two breakfasts. They ate as they hurried to school.

Along the way, Lin Muxi held Chen Chen's arm, and the morning sun shone on them, warm and cozy.

When we arrived at the classroom, the students had already taken their seats one by one.

Lin Muxi and Chen Chen had just sat down when the class bell rang.

The teacher's lecture was excellent, and Lin Muxi tried her best to concentrate, but she was still interrupted by strange sensations in her body from time to time.

Lin Muxi had just breathed a sigh of relief when the break between classes finally arrived, only to see Yan Zihao swaggering over with a wicked grin on his face and saying:
"Hey, you two are just in time for class? You must have been pretty busy last night?"

Lin Muxi's face flushed red instantly. She glared at Yan Zihao and said:

"Can you be more serious!"

Chen Chen glanced calmly at Yan Zihao and said, "If you're really free, junior, that's perfect. We just rented an office and there's a lot to do. Why don't you come and help out?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zihao's lips instantly curled into a smug, mischievous smile, a glint of cunning in his eyes, and he eagerly said:
"Senior, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Lin Muxi, standing to the side, rolled her eyes at Yan Zihao, clearly annoyed.
"So that's what you were up to all this time, hanging around in front of us every day!"

Yan Zihao chuckled, completely unconcerned, and waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"Oh, Xiaoxi, how can this be called having ulterior motives? I genuinely want to help my senior and learn more from you guys in the process."

Chen Chen looked at Yan Zihao's expression and smiled helplessly. He knew that although Yan Zihao was lively and impulsive, he was actually quite reliable when it came to getting things done, so he said:
"Okay, since you're willing, let's start tomorrow. There's still a lot of things to organize and arrange in the office, and quite a few chores."

Yan Zihao patted his chest, confidently guaranteeing:

"Don't worry, senior, leave it to me and I'll handle it perfectly. I guarantee I'll keep the office in perfect order."

Lin Muxi couldn't help but tease:
"Don't just talk big. If you don't work hard enough, we'll have to clean up the mess in the end."

Yan Zihao immediately straightened his back and said with a serious expression:
"Sister Xi, you underestimate me. I, Yan Zihao, always see things through to the end. This time, I'll definitely show you my abilities."

Chen Chen nodded, and said thoughtfully:

"I have a general idea about the office layout. Once you arrive, we can discuss it together and strive to create a comfortable and practical working environment."

Yan Zihao rubbed his hands together excitedly:
“That’s great, senior! I’ve been wanting to show off my skills. Maybe I can even come up with some novel ideas to make our office unique.”

Lin Muxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, alright, I hope you don't come up with any weird or strange ideas." (End of Chapter)
