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

When I hung up the phone, there was hardly any food left on the table.

Wang Ma quickly and efficiently cleared away the bowls, chopsticks, and leftover food from the table, then carefully wiped the tabletop and cleaned up the surrounding clutter.

After everything was arranged, she approached Chen Chen and Lin Muxi with a gentle smile and bowed slightly, saying:

"Mr. Chen, Miss, I've finished all the work for today, so I'll head back now. I'll come back at the same time tomorrow."

Chen Chen nodded with a smile.

"Wang Ma, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful on your way back."

Lin Muxi also whispered:

"Aunt Wang, thank you so much! Your cooking is so delicious."

Wang Ma waved her hands repeatedly.

"It's no trouble at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Miss. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After the footsteps faded into the distance, the house fell into a brief silence.

Chen Chen leaned back comfortably on the sofa and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, as if releasing all the fatigue of the day with that breath.

Lin Muxi looked up at him, her gentle gaze naturally revealing a hint of concern.

"tired?"

Upon hearing Lin Muxi's words, Chen Chen seemed to be drawn by something invisible outside the window. He stood up and walked slowly to the window.

He reached out and gently pulled back the curtains, and in an instant, the city lights, as dazzling as stars, flooded his vision.

The soft light streaming through the window, like a thin veil, gently fell on his face, perfectly outlining his well-defined and resolute features.

"Fortunately."

Chen Chen tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the bustling city outside the window. His voice was neither loud nor soft, as if responding to Lin Muxi's concerned gaze, or perhaps talking to himself.

Lin Muxi quietly watched Chen Chen's retreating figure, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing on her lips as she softly said:

"Shall I give you a massage?"

Chen Chen turned around, walked calmly back to the dining table, sat down slowly, a faint smile on his lips, and replied:
"Okay."

Lin Muxi came up behind him and gently placed her hands on his shoulders, giving him a skillful and gentle massage.

It must be said that Lin Muxi's massage technique is really good.

Her fingers slowly traced the contours of Chen Chen's shoulder, applying just the right amount of pressure. Chen Chen felt the weariness hidden within his body dissipate.

Time passed quietly in this tranquil atmosphere. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Chen couldn't help but yawn.

He raised his hand to check the time and said softly:
"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest. You need to go to the studio after class tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Lin Muxi's eyes.

But she obediently withdrew her hand slowly and replied sweetly:

"Okay, then you go take a shower first, and I'll shower after you're done."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, then stood up and walked into the room with composed steps.

A moment later, he picked up his change of clothes and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Lin Muxi had just given him a massage, which made Chen Chen feel much more relaxed and refreshed.

After he finished showering, the warm water seemed to wash away the last trace of fatigue, making him feel even more energetic.

Chen Chen pushed open the bathroom door and said in Lin Muxi's direction:

"I've washed it, you go and wash it."

Lin Muxi nodded gently, picked up the prepared clothes, and walked gracefully into the bathroom.

Chen Chen returned to his bedroom, casually picked up a towel and dried his hair a few times before setting it aside. Then, he skillfully picked up his phone, opened the game "Honor of Kings," and prepared to relax during this leisurely evening.

After entering the game, Chen Chen first checked his friends list to see who was online.

When he didn't see the person he wanted to watch online, he quickly formed a team and started a ranked match.

"I haven't played games in a long time."

Since opening his studio, he has realized how luxurious it is to have time to play a few games in peace.

He controlled his hero as he galloped across the King's Canyon, his attention highly focused, completely immersed in the intense battle.

The dim light from the phone screen illuminated his focused face as his fingers nimbly tapped and swiped across the screen.

In the restroom, Lin Muxi was enjoying the comfort of the warm water flowing over her body.

A light mist filled the bathroom, and the light shone through the mist, creating a hazy atmosphere.

With her eyes closed, she let the water flow over her skin, but her mind involuntarily drifted back to the moments she had spent with Chen Chen, and a slight smile crept onto her lips.

Not long after, Lin Muxi finished showering and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

She dried her wet hair with a towel, the steam still swirling around her, making her look like a fairy from a magical land.

Seeing that Chen Chen was focused on the game, she tiptoed to the dressing table, sat down, and began to carefully apply skincare products.

At this point, Chen Chen's game entered a heated phase.

His teammates' miscoordination led to a somewhat critical situation, and he frowned deeply, with fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead.

"This move was so hilarious!" Chen Chen couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

Hearing the sound, Lin Muxi turned to look at Chen Chen, her eyes full of smiles.

She put down her skincare products, quietly walked behind Chen Chen, and watched him play games.

Suddenly, Chen Chen's hero seized upon the enemy's mistake and launched a brilliant counterattack, instantly reversing the situation.

"Pretty!"

Chen Chen shouted excitedly, but just as he turned around to share his joy with Lin Muxi, he realized that she had been standing behind him at some point.

When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Lin Muxi's wet hair exuded a faint scent of shampoo. Her eyes were gentle and bright, and her face still had a blush from just taking a shower.

Chen Chen was slightly taken aback, his initial excitement instantly replaced by a different kind of emotion.

After a moment, Lin Muxi broke the silence first and asked softly:
"Did you win?"

Chen Chen snapped out of his daze and nodded with a smile:
"Well, I won."

Lin Muxi walked to the bedside, sat down, and picked up the hairdryer to start drying her hair.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Chen started another game.

As the game screen loaded, intense background music and sound effects instantly filled Chen Chen's ears.

In this game, he chose a jungler hero that he was good at. As soon as he entered the game, he focused on controlling his character to farm jungle monsters and develop his character.

Lin Muxi was drying her hair while glancing at Chen Chen every now and then.

A warm breeze blew by, and her hair gradually became dry and fluffy, exuding a faint scent of shampoo.

Seeing Chen Chen so focused on the game, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

It's been a long time since I've seen my senior so relaxed.

The humming of the hairdryer stopped, and Lin Muxi put it aside, stood up, and walked to the wardrobe to choose pajamas.

She found a pink silk nightgown, simple in style yet exuding a touch of elegance. (End of Chapter)
