The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

The next morning, as dawn broke.

Xu Nian's eyelids fluttered slightly as she awoke from her sleep.

As soon as I stood up, I saw the smooth, octopus-like mass on my body.

He gently stroked her snow-white hair, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He realized for the first time that that kind of thing could feel so good.

Xiaoxi is different from Xu Xi. She is like a gentle stream, tender and quiet, with a touch of shyness in her youth, making him unable to resist her.

From the hot spring to the bamboo house, the two tossed and turned, unable to stop themselves from getting intimate.

He couldn't remember when it stopped.

All I know is that in the last moment before he lost consciousness, he was sucking on the girl's soft little tongue.

Even now, they remain closely connected.

Sensing the rustling sound above her head, the girl's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Good morning, brother."

She gently patted her cherry-like lips and let out a lazy yawn.

Noticing the man's subtle movements, a slight blush rose on her pretty face.

"Brother...you're so naughty~"

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Nian cleared her throat awkwardly and pulled her thighs, which had been inside her boots all night, out.

The girl covered her mouth and giggled, then gently leaned down and wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

"Brother, from now on, we are family."

"Wasn't it always like that?"

Xu Nian smiled and gently pinched her little nose.

"No, no, no."

Xu Xi's fingertips lightly touched the man's lips.

"Before, you were the older brother, and I was the younger sister."

"Now, you are the husband, and I am the wife."

Xu Nian smiled faintly and kissed the girl's thin lips.

......

After cleaning up the mess, the two took a shower together before leaving the hot spring hotel.

After a wonderful night, Xu Xi's beautiful oval face was filled with a happy smile, her big, jewel-like eyes were bright and piercing, and even her complexion was rosy.

At this moment, she is sitting in the driver's seat of an SUV, steadily driving the car toward the horizon.

"Where to next?"

Xu Nian sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window with great interest.

He noticed that the car was not heading home.

"Hehe~ It's a secret."

Xu Xi smiled sweetly.

The SUV sped along and soon entered the bustling financial center business district, arriving at the headquarters building of the Sinian Group.

However, this was not Xu Xi's destination.

Several assistants were waiting downstairs at the top of the building. After the SUV was parked, they carried tents, folding chairs, small wooden tables, and various kinds of convenience food into the trunk of the car.

Immediately afterwards, the SUV left the company and drove onto the nearby overpass.

Now, Xu Nian finally understood where Xu Xi wanted to take him.

This direction leads to Shoushan.

The car sped along the overpass and soon entered the new urban area.

Xu Nian looked out and saw the subway construction site she had seen a few months ago.

With autumn approaching and temperatures no longer so hot, the project seems to have sped up considerably.

The large pit that was originally dug in the road has been filled with asphalt, and some of the surrounding barriers have been removed.

The workers continued to toil under the sun, carrying heavy bags of cement on their shoulders and gritting their teeth as they moved forward.

"Don't feel sorry for them anymore, brother."

Xu Xi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the busy construction site.

"I've already offered them twice the salary of their competitors."

"There are also summer allowances, rain allowances, snow allowances, and year-end bonuses. All together, you're on the same level as a junior manager in the head office."

Xu Nian touched her nose and gave a wry smile.

"Aren't you going to lose money doing this?"

"What a loss."

Xu Xi smiled wryly.

"However, they deserve it."

Xu Nian nodded gently.

He had heard online that Sinian Group treated its frontline workers, couriers, and food delivery workers very well, with the highest level of benefits in the country.

Presumably, it was influenced by him.

After all, it was through this kind of low-level labor that he raised Xu Xi.

However, the requirements for middle and senior management are very strict, and any behavior of embezzlement, corruption, or personal enrichment will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

In recent years, the number of executives sent to prisons and Africa combined could form several football teams.

"Did you pay for this subway line?"

Xu Nian pointed to the construction site below.

Xu Xi nodded, then shook her head.

"Half of it was paid by the government, and the other half was paid by the government."

"Once this subway line is completed, we can take it from home to Shoushan for a hike."

Xu Nian's lips twitched.

"You funded the construction of the subway just so it would be easier for us to go hiking?"

"That's right!"

Xu Xi chuckled.

The man raised his hand and gave the girl a flick on the forehead in an annoyed manner.

"How can you be so wasteful? How much would this subway line cost?!"

His tone conveyed a deep sense of helplessness.

"Just kidding. Line 5 connects the business district and two new urban areas. The area along the line is full of properties we developed. Once this subway line opens, property prices will increase several times over. We can not only recoup the cost of building the subway, but also make a fortune."

Xu Nian suddenly realized.

He was still calculating when Xu Xi would be able to recoup his costs with subway tickets costing only a few yuan each.

Unexpectedly, they never intended to make money from train tickets.

This girl has a real knack for business.

His mind can never keep up with Xu Xi's thought process.

The girl smiled gently, revealing pretty dimples on both sides of her cheeks.

"When I marry my brother, the dowry will be much higher."

Xu Nian scratched her head, blushing slightly.

The car sped along, gradually entering the suburbs and arriving at the foot of Shou Mountain.

Xu Xi parked the car, put on sunglasses, a hat, and a mask, and disguised herself completely before opening the car door.

After all, Shoushan is a public scenic area, not her property, and she can't just dismiss the visitors with a single sentence.

Public figures must always be mindful of their words and actions in public to avoid causing negative impacts.

Like an actor who can't leave the stage, over time, one will feel extremely tired.

Therefore, concealing one's identity becomes the best option.

After all, if no one pays attention, you can say whatever you want and do whatever you want.

Xu Nian didn't have so many concerns and stepped out of the car.

The majestic Shoushan Mountain, with its towering peaks reaching into the clouds, is magnificent and awe-inspiring no matter the season.

He went to the back of the car, where Xu Xi was sticking her little bottom out, packing the luggage in the trunk, hanging one piece after another on her tender shoulders.

"I'll take it."

Xu Nian reached her right hand into the innermost tent, intending to move it out.

But it was gently slapped back by a soft little hand.

"Stop! Leave it there, you're not allowed to take it!"

Xu Xi glared at him.

"Have you forgotten what Dean Chu said? Your hand needs three to six months to recover, and you're not allowed to exert any force during this time!"

"Uh... I can't move my left hand, but my right hand is fine."

Xu Nian glanced at the large and small bags hanging on the girl's slender shoulders, which together weighed almost as much as her own weight. She couldn't help but frown, feeling a little sorry for her.

"That won't do either!"

Xu Xi muttered.

She handed the man a bottle of mineral water.

"You can take this; I'll carry the rest."

Xu Nian wanted to say something more, but was silenced by the girl's threatening glare.

Finally, Xu Xi, carrying several backpacks on her shoulders and a tent and a small table in her hands, led her brother, who was almost empty-handed, onto the mountain trail.
