Chu Zhuo squatted down beside him and asked, "Why did Xiao Xuan say that?"

001 Bird's Eyes probes Xie Lin Ce: [Host, we haven't scanned the villains in this world yet.]

After muttering to himself, he scanned Xie Lince.

*Beep beep beep* The familiar red text sent a shiver down 001's spine: [Host, this villainous creature has definitely got your eye on you.]

After Xiao Xuan said those words, Xie Linze observed Chu Zhuo, trying to analyze the clues from the boy's expression.

He could sense that Zhuobao was becoming more and more familiar with him, but at the same time he was worried that he was just imagining things.

The Xie family is a family of scholars, and Xie's father is a famous calligrapher. The family has strict discipline, which has taught Xie Linze to never make a move unless he is 100% sure of success.

The several times his steps were forcibly pulled back were his way of warning himself.

Xiao Xuan's voice continued, "That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas, two boys sleeping together, even kissing..."

The dean rushed over and covered Xiao Xuan's mouth, explaining apologetically, "I'm sorry, this kid was randomly switching TV shows a while ago, I've already disciplined him. Don't take a child's words seriously."

The words were spoken to Xie Linze.

Xie Linze clenched his hands at his sides, the veins on the back of his hands standing out, then nodded slightly: "Children speak without thinking, I can understand."

Chu Zhuo slightly raised her eyes and saw Xie Lince's knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white. She could vaguely hear a few creaking sounds and the unconcealed loneliness in the man's eyes.

His heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Xie Liance to a less crowded area: "Dean, I need to talk to Xie Liance about something, I'll be right back."

Xie Linze let him lead the way the whole time.

Behind the orphanage wall, Chu Zhuo released Xie Lingce's hand, only to be pulled into his arms without warning the next second.

"Zhuobao, what do you mean by bringing me out alone?" Xie Linze could have held back, but at this moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm easily prone to overthinking."

The 100% I've been waiting for... seems to be showing signs of coming true.

Chu Zhuo didn't struggle; his heart was pounding, the trembling in his chest clearly audible: "Xie Lingce, will you be my boyfriend?"

No nonsense, just direct expression of my thoughts.

There are many things to be done in this world, and they all need to be completed within a year. Xie Lingce is usually too steady, and it wasn't until today that the busy string in Chu Zhuo's mind suddenly snapped and connected with Xie Lingce's nerves.

The results of the 001 scan were not unexpected.

Chu Zhuo suddenly realized that the warm and intimate scenes they used to share were now presented in a different kind of detail in her mind, a tenderness or affection.

His lover had loved him quietly for a long time.

Then let him speak first.

The place was very quiet. After Chu Zhuo finished speaking, Xie Lingce's pupils contracted, and his breathing was accompanied by the pounding of his heart.

Holding his young lover tightly in his arms, the words that uttered from his lips stirred his thoughts and were so enticing.

A moment later, Xie Lingce released Chu Zhuo, pinched his chin, looked into the boy's clear, loving eyes, and kissed his cool lips without restraint.

The desolation of winter had not yet faded, and the man kissed her too fiercely. Chu Zhuo uncontrollably stepped back, her foot sinking into the withered, dry leaves with a cracking sound.

Chu Zhuo punched his chest: "Thank you, thank you Lin Ce, we still have to go back, don't kiss me too hard... mmm, be gentle..."

Xie Linze was like an insatiable raptor, kissing Chu Zhuo incessantly, his mind filled with thoughts of "I'm finally Zhuo Bao's boyfriend, I finally have a title," completely oblivious to any outside noise.

Chu Zhuo tentatively pushed a few times, but the man remained unmoved like a mountain. Left with no other choice, he grabbed Xie Lingce's hair forcefully.

As the sticky sensation on her lips disappeared, Chu Zhuo raised her hand and slapped Xie Lingce across the face.

The sound of a slap jolted the dazed person awake.

The slap wasn't forceful, but it was definitely not held back; you could tell from the sound.

A stinging sensation brushed against his cheek, neither painful nor itchy. Xie Lingze half-covered his face, his mind calming down. After a moment, he laughed, his tone tinged with the nonchalant excitement of having gotten his way: "Zhuobao, is that all the punishment you deserve?"

They still show no remorse.

Chu Zhuo continued to back away, her back pressed against the wall, issuing a strong warning: "Xie Lingce, are you trying to lose more than you gain, turning your official boyfriend status into a limited-time boyfriend trial card?"

Xie Linze: "..."

The steps that were originally following along suddenly came to a stop. In order to show that he was not aggressive, Xie Lince raised his hands slightly in a gesture of surrender: "I was wrong, please don't play with my boyfriend."

Chu Zhuo took a breath and pointed to the way they had come: "Xie Lince, you go first. I don't feel comfortable letting you go behind me now."

Xie Linze had no choice but to obey his orders and walk ahead obediently.

Returning to the hall, the dean's gaze fell on Chu Zhuo's slightly swollen lips, a sight any adult could tell. Worry welled up in her heart, and she used an excuse to call Chu Zhuo away.

Xie Lingce tensed up, his lips moved, but before he could speak, Chu Zhuo interrupted him: "Don't worry, Xie Lingce, wait for me to come back."

As soon as the adults left, Luo Botou surrounded Xie Lince, chattering away.

"Big brother, why is your face so red?"

"It's a handprint! Big brother, who hit you?"

"I know that, he was beaten by his wife."

When it comes to witty and amazing remarks, Xiao Xuan is the best.

Xie Lince bent down slightly and affectionately ruffled Xiao Xuan's hair: "You're so young, and you already know what a wife is?"

Xiao Xuan thought he was very clever: "Of course, that's how it's portrayed on TV. When a wife hits you, you don't fight back. They call that being henpecked."

This little rascal has a whole repertoire of words. Xie Lingce laughed: "Well, I'm henpecked. Does Xiao Xuan even know who my wife is?"

"It must be Brother Lele, but Brother Lele has a very good temper. Big brother, don't make Brother Lele angry, or I'll steal your wife." After saying that, Xiao Xuan nodded his head vigorously as if he was acknowledging himself.

Xie Linze curled his lip and commented indifferently, "If it's yours, then don't try to steal it. Don't worry, you won't have the chance."

Chu Zhuo came in and heard the word "opportunity" at the end, and asked, "What opportunity? Xie Lingce, what were you talking about with them?"

Xiao Xuan eagerly chimed in: "Let's talk about how to snatch... my wife."

Xie Lingce decisively shut the little brat up: "Let's talk about what to eat tonight. I'll hire a chef to come and cook. Aren't fried chicken and cola unhealthy?"

Before Chu Zhuo could speak, Xiao Xuan pouted and said, "It's very healthy. The chicken is clean and fresh. It's just a different way of cooking it, so how could it not be healthy? I want fried chicken tonight."

The topic was successfully shifted.

The claim that a chef would come to your door wasn't made up on the spot.

Yesterday they discussed it with the director and decided to hire a chef to come and cook. In the morning, they will collect what each child wants to eat, and once that's decided, they will send the corresponding ingredients to the chef to ensure that every child's wish is fulfilled.

The dean didn't refuse the offer; it's good to make the children happy once a year.

As expected, the children were very excited, surrounding Chu Zhuo and Xie Linze, eagerly saying what they wanted to eat. Some children didn't even know what the food they were talking about looked like, but they still gave the name.

The dean watched this scene with satisfaction.

Of course, Chu Zhuo wasn't the only one to leave the orphanage, but he was the only one who kept it in mind for ten years.

The dinner menu was extensive... well, you could say it was a mess.

Everyone eats different things.

Chu Zhuo leaned against Xie Linze's chest, casually sipping her drink, her gaze gentle as she watched the children eat and drink.

Xie Linze's arm went around the back of his neck, his palm wrapping around the boy's slender shoulder. In the corner of his eye, he etched his boyfriend's face into the depths of his soul.

Every minute and every second, it makes his heart flutter.

During their time alone at night, Chu Zhuo climbed into bed, only to be pulled close by Xie Lingce, who was eyeing her intently. He pinned her beneath him and demanded, "What did the dean say to you during the day?"
