"What, you're unwilling?" Huo Nianci's eyes darkened immediately when she saw Lin An's silence, and her tone turned cold as well.

"Yes, yes!" Lin An nodded with a strong survival instinct: "It's just cooking, no big deal."

Huo Nianci then smiled again and kissed him as a reward.

The meal lasted about forty minutes. Huo Nianci ate all three dishes clean, even mixing the chili oil in the plate with rice.

Lin An looked at the empty bottom of her bowl and thought, "Her appetite doesn't seem as small as she said on WeChat..."

Huo Nianci was clearly unaware of his thoughts. She put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, leaned back in her chair, and wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.

"It's been so long since I've eaten this much," she said, looking at Lin An with a greedy look in her eyes, as if she had just eaten her fill.

"Lin An," she suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Lin An was clearing away the dishes.

"You did a great job today, I'm very satisfied."

Lin An paused, thinking, "Is this... a compliment?"

"So..." Huo Nianci paused, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, "I will reward you handsomely."

Lin An didn't know what this "reward" was, but he had a bad feeling.

He took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, put them in the sink, and prepared to wash them.

"Don't we have a dishwasher? Are you trying to save me electricity?" Huo Nianci's voice came from the dining room.

"Oh," Lin An glanced at a black appliance under the cabinet, pulled it open, and put the bowls and chopsticks inside.

The dishwasher started working automatically.

"Come here, don't worry about it," Huo Nianci's voice called out from behind.

Lin An hesitated for a moment, then walked back to the restaurant.

Huo Nianci was still sitting at the dining table, with her legs crossed.

The black stockings shimmered under the light, and the red-soled high heels were faintly visible as her toes swayed gently.

Lin An glanced at it and quickly looked away, his heart starting to race again.

"Um... Miss Huo," Lin An cleared his throat and mustered his courage to speak, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

"Call me Nianci!" Huo Nianci corrected him, "I'll call you An'an, you call me Nianci, remember that?"

"Um, okay," Lin An said cautiously, "Nianci, I have something to do tonight, can I go back to my dorm first?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Nianci stopped crossing her legs, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

She slowly lowered her leg, stood up, and walked step by step towards Lin An in her high heels.

Huo Nianci reached out with both hands and pinched his cheeks.

"Isn't this place nice? Why do you want to leave?" she asked.

Lin An's face was being pinched by her, and he spoke somewhat indistinctly: "No, no...it's nice here..."

"Then why did you leave?" Huo Nianci released her grip, but her gaze remained fixed on him.

Lin An rubbed his cheek, which had been pinched red, and said cautiously, "It's just... um... I have something to do in my dorm..."

"What is it?" Huo Nianci pressed.

"Well... I haven't washed my clothes yet..." Lin An made up an excuse on the spot.

Huo Nianci stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Bring your clothes here tomorrow, and I'll have someone wash them for you."

"And what's more... I haven't done my homework yet..."

"You can do your homework here too."

"Then... my roommate will be worried about me..."

"Then just tell them on your phone, that's all."

Huo Nianci's every word will shut you down completely.

Lin An opened his mouth, only to find himself completely speechless.

At this moment, Huo Nianci walked to the dining table again and sat down.

She crossed her legs, one leg gracefully resting on the other.

Long legs encased in black stockings crossed over each other.

This pose caused her skirt to ride up a little higher, revealing even more of her fair and tender thighs.

Lin An quickly looked away, not daring to look anymore.

Seeing his reaction, Huo Nianci's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

"So, you'll stay here tonight," she said firmly.

Lin An froze: "Stay...stay here? That's not a good idea..."

"What's wrong with that?" Huo Nianci tilted her head to look at him. "Isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to live together?"

"That's not the problem..." Lin An struggled to find the right words, but didn't know what to say.

"What's the problem?"

Lin An: "..."

"Moreover," Huo Nianci's tone softened again, "you signed a contract that requires you to unconditionally cooperate with all my requests."

"My only request is that you stay here."

Lin An opened his mouth, trying to make one last attempt: "But..."

"Lin An," Huo Nianci suddenly interrupted him, her eyes turning dangerous, "You're not thinking of breaking the contract, are you?"

As she spoke, her gaze drifted almost imperceptibly to the fruit knife on the coffee table.

Lin An followed her gaze and saw the gleaming fruit knife lying quietly on the coffee table.

He swallowed hard, then swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"No, I don't want to," Lin An said with difficulty.

"That settles it then," Huo Nianci smiled contentedly, patting the chair next to her. "Come and sit down."

Lin An walked over dejectedly and sat down next to her.

Huo Nianci leaned over like a cat, resting her head on Lin An's shoulder and wrapping her arms around his.

"An'an," she whispered, "you feel so warm."

Lin An sat stiffly, not daring to move.

He could feel the softness of Huo Nianci's body and the faint scent of her perfume.

It creates a unique flavor that belongs only to her.

So Lin An could only let Huo Nianci lean on his shoulder.

To be honest, it feels very strange.

Huo Nianci's body was very light, and when she leaned in, she weighed almost nothing.

Her hair brushed against Lin An's neck, making it itchy.

What kind of shampoo does she usually use...?

Suddenly, a trivial question popped into Lin An's mind.

It smells quite high-end, so it probably isn't cheap.

However, he quickly came to his senses and mentally slapped himself.

"Lin An, can't you be a little more sensible? Is this the time to be thinking about this? You're under house arrest right now!"

But the body's reaction is often more honest than the brain's.

He could feel his heart racing and his ears burning.

Huo Nianci seemed to sense his nervousness, chuckled softly, and breathed warmly on his neck.

"An'an, your heart is beating so fast."

"Yes, really?" Lin An stammered, "I probably ate too much just now, and my digestive system is working hard..."

Huo Nianci raised her head, staring at him with her beautiful eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Is the digestive system located in the chest?"

Lin An: "..."

Why is Huo Nianci's focus so peculiar?

Instead of continuing to expose him, she lifted her head off his shoulder and stood up.

"Sitting here is boring, let's go get something to drink."

As she spoke, she walked toward a wine cabinet in the corner of the living room.

Lin An then noticed that the wine cabinet was quite large, with various wine bottles neatly stacked inside.

Red wine, white wine, champagne, and some other foreign liquors he couldn't name.

"It's so good to be rich!" Lin An thought to himself.
