At that moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Li Xixue put down her phone, hid the yarn and knitting needles, and stuffed them under the sofa.

She sat back on the sofa, picked up the cushion again, and hugged it, pretending to watch TV.

About two minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Lu Yang dried his hair and slowly walked out.

Li Xixue's gaze swept over, and then she froze.

This guy was wearing pajamas.

Wearing pajamas at home isn't anything special, but the problem is that he wasn't wearing his usual pajamas; he was wearing the couple's pajamas he ordered yesterday.

She was wearing a green dinosaur-themed outfit at the time.

A green cartoon dinosaur is printed on the chest, with a flower in its mouth; it looks silly, but also cute.

Lu Yang wore this outfit, and his expression was particularly calm.

He even looked down at the dinosaur on his body and nodded in satisfaction.

"It arrived, I just opened it."

Li Xixue didn't speak.

Her gaze was fixed on the green dinosaur on his chest.

stupid.

That's incredibly stupid.

"Yours is on the bed in the bedroom. Take it yourself if you want to take a shower."

Lu Yang turned his head to look at her and spoke calmly.

Li Xixue gripped the corner of the cushion, pretending she knew nothing: "What do you mean, 'mine'?"

Lu Yang said directly, "Yours is the pink dinosaur with a star on its head."

"..."

Li Xixue's lips moved slightly.

She looked down at her outfit.

Then he looked at the green dinosaur on Lu Yang's body.

Do I really want to wear that thing?

Lu Yang didn't rush her; he picked up the remote and changed the channel.

There was a variety show on TV, and the guests were making a lot of noise.

Li Xixue took a deep breath and then stood up.

Lu Yang turned to look at her.

"what?"

"bath!"

Li Xixue locked the bathroom door.

Hot water gushed down, and steam fogged up the mirror.

She stood under the showerhead, her mind filled with that pink dinosaur.

After washing up, she dried her hair with a towel and then looked at the clothes rack hanging behind the bathroom door.

She had casually draped those pajamas over herself before taking a shower.

pink.

It has a cartoon dinosaur printed on its chest, a star on its head, round eyes, a curved mouth, and a silly grin on its face.

Outside the bathroom, the sound of the television could be heard intermittently.

Lu Yang took out his phone and found that his mother had sent him a message.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

Zhou Huifang sent a very long voice message.

[Xiaoyang, have you finalized the arrangements for our weekend meeting with them? I need to know where it's going in advance so I can prepare. And your dad, ever since you left, he's been sitting alone in the yard drinking tea all afternoon without saying a word.]

Lu Yang read the message and then checked the time.

Tomorrow is the weekend.

It was the day that both sets of parents had arranged to meet.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and replied, "Mom, the place has been decided. The environment is nice, so don't worry about it."

Zhou Huifang: [Okay, could you ask Xiaoxue if her parents have any dietary restrictions? Otherwise, they might order something unpalatable and leave a bad impression. Oh, and what about your dad's clothes? Your uncle told him to buy a new outfit, but he absolutely refuses, saying his old army green jacket is fine. What am I supposed to do? Go and talk to him.]

Lu Yang: [It's okay, Mom. Don't worry about these things. Just wear what you normally wear. No need to be so particular.]

The news about Zhou Huifang is still scrolling down.

By the way, your aunt called again today, asking what position Xiaoxue holds at the company. I didn't tell her, but you know your aunt's personality—she might not say it, but she's shrewd. I'll probably find out sooner or later.

There's one more thing. Your grandma mentioned it several times today, saying that Xiaoxue is a good girl and that you should treat her well.

After reading these messages, Lu Yang simply replied: "Okay, Mom."

Zhou Huifang hesitated for a moment: "Xiaoyang, Mom has something else to ask. When we meet them... how should your dad and I address them as Mom and Dad?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

He hadn't really thought about that.

According to normal procedures, the first meeting between the parents of both sides is usually the in-laws meeting.

But the problem is, wouldn't it be too hasty if his mother called him "in-law" as soon as they met?

But calling him Mr. Li would seem too formal.

Lu Yang typed: [Mom, just call me that normally.]

Zhou Huifang replied with an ellipsis.

Then she sent another voice message: "[Should I call him that normally? He's the CEO of a big company. If I call him 'in-law' right away, what if he thinks I'm shameless?]"

Lu Yang rubbed his temples.

He replied with a text message.

"Mom, don't worry, Xiaoxue's dad isn't that kind of person."

In fact, he wasn't sure what kind of person Li Guoqing really was.

His father-in-law gave him the impression of being a very calm and composed person.

He didn't talk much, but every word he uttered commanded respect.

As for whether he has a good temper or not?

do not know.

Zhou Huifang posted another message: 【Where's Xiaoxue?】

Lu Yang: [Taking a shower.]

Zhou Huifang: [Okay, I won't say anything for now. Let me know when you and Xiaoxue have discussed it.]

Lu Yang put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa.

The variety show on TV was still playing, and the guests were arguing back and forth.

Then, he glanced at the time.

How long has Li Xixue been in the bathroom?

At her usual pace, she should have come out long ago.

Why is it taking so long today?

Moreover, the sound of water running in the bathroom had long since stopped.

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bathroom; the door was still closed.

He was about to get up to check when the bathroom door clicked open.

The door opened a crack.

But no one came out.

Lu Yang stared at the crack in the door.

A few seconds passed.

The door was opened a little wider.

Still, no one came out.

Lu Yang frowned and asked the person inside, "What are you doing?"

There was silence for a few seconds through the crack in the door.

Then Li Xixue's voice came from inside.

"...Don't look at me."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I told you not to look at me!"

Lu Yang was even more stunned.

I'm not looking at you?

You opened the door to come out, didn't you?

If you don't look at it, who will you look at?

"Turn around."

Li Xixue said another sentence.

Lu Yang turned his head to face the television.

"Alright, it's been transferred."

There was silence in the bathroom for a few seconds.

Then he heard footsteps.

Very light footsteps.

One step, two steps.

very slow.

Lu Yang couldn't help but glance to the side.

In the corner of my eye, a pink shadow was slowly moving out of the bathroom doorway.

It's as slow as a snail.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

Li Xixue stood at the intersection of the living room and the corridor, her hands crossed in front of her, and did not move forward.

She was wearing that pink dinosaur pajama set.

To be honest, the effect after wearing it was ten times sillier than she had imagined.

Anyone who wears this is stupid.

But she wore it anyway.

Because that person was wearing it too.
