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

If you had to describe Xu Nian's current feelings in one sentence, it would be regret, utter regret.

They ate from breakfast to lunch, and from lunch to dinner, without missing a single meal or taking a break.

He deeply understood a sentence his teacher had said in class a few days ago: Time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out.

"That's about enough." Xu Nian was so exhausted that she collapsed on the bed, her arms crossed over her chest, too weak to even lift a finger.

At this moment, the little succubus who had squeezed every last drop out of him was sitting beside him, licking the salad dressing that had accidentally gotten on her fingers while eating dinner, her face beaming as she watched him with a smile.

"So weak." Xu Xi sneered, took off his wet black stockings, and threw them into the trash can.

Then, she stretched out her little foot and gently rubbed it against the man's face. "Let's go home, I'm hungry."

"Ah, again." Xu Nian was startled and took two steps back while hugging her pillow. Her back was against the headboard, and her eyes were full of panic. She looked like an incompetent husband, embarrassed and helpless.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Xi chuckled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "Look how scared you are! I was just hungry. What did you think it was?"

Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to react.

He suddenly remembered that Xu Xi had been given sleeping pills by him and slept for two whole days and nights. Adding to that, she hadn't eaten anything for three days and two nights, so she must have been starving.

Thinking of this, his tense nerves instantly relaxed, he raised his hand and patted his chest, silently letting out a sigh of relief.

But the next second, Xu Xi leaned closer, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his gaze lingering on him, as if he could draw out fine threads: "However, it's not impossible to do it the way you want."

Xu Nian immediately got goosebumps and dared not linger any longer. She jumped out of bed, hurriedly put on her clothes, and fled the rest room amidst the girl's silvery laughter.

Before leaving the company, Xu Xi went to Wen Yao's office and told her some important things.

Wen Yao glanced at Xu Xi, whose face was rosy and radiant, and couldn't help but give Xu Nian a thumbs up.

Xu Nian forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, put her arm around Xu Xi's shoulder, and hurriedly led her away from the company.

The two drove home, and as soon as they opened the door, Mai Mai, who was waiting at the door, immediately rushed over and ran straight into Xu Xi's arms, meowing incessantly and rubbing her little head against the hem of her clothes, as if accusing her of "misdeeds" of not coming home for so many days.

However, it soon noticed that something was off about the lady of the house today, as if she had become a different person.

It immediately jumped off Xu Xi's arms, its long fur standing on end, gritted its teeth, made a fierce expression at her, and meowed incessantly.

Xu Xi smiled gently, took out a cat treat he had prepared in advance from his bag, stopped, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Mai Mai's mouth.

Mai Mai gave a symbolic fierce growl, her nose twitched, and her tail slowly curled up. Gone was her earlier wariness. She lay down obediently, lowered her head to nibble on the cat treat, and made a comfortable purring sound in her throat.

"You silly cat, you were won over with just a cat treat." Xu Nian kicked its little bottom, both amused and exasperated. "If I asked you to guard the house, would anyone who gives you food be allowed in?"

Mai Mai stopped eating, looked up and meowed softly twice, then rolled her eyes at him.

It's as if it's saying, "I'm only responsible for eating and being cute. You can leave the guarding to the other cats."

After passing the biosecurity system verification, Xu Xi successfully entered his home.

Xu Nian carried the groceries she had bought on the way and went straight into the kitchen to get busy.

Since Xu Xi took over the body, he had to change the flavor of his cooking to her preferred sweetness.

He put the chili powder, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and dried chilies next to the stove into the back of the cupboard, then arranged the sugar, tomato sauce, honey, and other sweet condiments, rolled up his sleeves, and began preparing dinner.

He tied on an apron, intending to first make Xu Xi's favorite dish, sweet and sour pork.

Just as he picked up the cleaver, he heard soft footsteps behind him. The next second, a pair of soft little hands wrapped around his waist from behind, and her cheek pressed against his back.

"What's wrong?" Xu Nian stopped what she was doing, slowly turned around, looked at the girl in front of her, and said with a helpless tone.

"Kiss me." Xu Xi tiptoed, closed her eyes, and slightly pouted her soft, thin lips. Her pink lips were glistening with moisture, like a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.

Xu Nian sighed helplessly, but in the end, he couldn't resist her beauty. He bent down slightly and kissed her.

Xu Xi's kissing skills were urgent and domineering, like a hungry wolf that had caught a fat sheep and wanted to devour the man.

She kissed him for almost ten minutes before letting go, her lips still damp with a faint trace of water, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Xu Nian was panting, thinking she could finally focus on cooking, but little did she know that this was just the beginning.

Every few minutes, Xu Xi would walk briskly to his side, either clinging to him for a kiss or hugging his arm. Occasionally, she would even stand on tiptoe and insist that he lift her up high.

Her little hands were also restless, constantly stroking his chest, waist, and legs, making him uneasy and slowing down even his chopping.

This meal was exceptionally difficult to prepare. By the time the first dish, sweet and sour pork, was cooked, it had gone completely cold, and the last dish hadn't even been cooked yet.

Xu Nian looked at the clingy girl beside her, and then at the unprepared ingredients in the pot. She felt both angry and helpless.

If during his last period of depression, Xu Xi was like an ice cube that needed to be warmed up.

So during this manic phase, he became the ice block that cooled down that fiery little flame.

After finally finishing preparing all the dishes and setting them on the table, Xu Xi was still busy during the meal.

She simply sat on Xu Nian's lap, leaning her back against his chest, taking a bite of food and then turning around to take a bite of his.

Her calves unconsciously rubbed against his thighs, the soft touch spreading along his skin, making Xu Nian's heart burn and a surge of lust rising uncontrollably.

But he had already been completely drained, leaving not a single drop.

Forget about responding to her enthusiasm, even moving a little felt like a struggle.

He couldn't help but feel like crying, his feelings at that moment were probably like a eunuch going to a brothel, full of restlessness but powerless.

Xu Xi noticed his stiffness, raised her head, and curled a wicked smile at the corner of her mouth. She gently licked his ear with the tip of her soft tongue, the warm breath making his ear itch. Her small hands gently caressed his chest, her tone teasing.

"If you're feeling so uncomfortable holding it in, then don't hold it in anymore. I'm always ready to keep you company."

As she spoke, she took his hand and slowly reached it toward her collar.

That look, a mixture of innocence and desire, made Xu Nian's heart itch, and her blood seemed to boil.

But he forced himself to restrain himself, suddenly tilted his head back, picked up the cold water on the table, and drank it in large gulps, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart with the icy water.

Seeing his forced composure, Xu Xi couldn't help but chuckle softly. He stood up from his lap, took small, leisurely steps, and slowly went upstairs.

The annoying little devil finally left, and Xu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief. She slumped into her chair, clasped her hands together, and kept reciting a string of mathematical formulas, trying to calm herself down and suppress the anger in her heart with the tedious formulas.

Just as he was about to master his divine skill, a series of crisp footsteps came from the stairwell.

He looked up and his blood boiled.

Xu Xi wore a black stocking on her left leg and a white stocking on her right leg. She was dressed in a low-cut maid outfit, her hair tied into two cute pigtails, and she stood at the top of the stairs with a sweet smile on her face. Her eyes were full of cunning and seduction.

She deliberately tugged at her collar slightly, slowly walked up to him, knelt down, kissed the man's toes, and put on a pitiful look.

"You can do whatever you want to my body, as long as you like it, then come on~"

These words completely shattered the last shred of reason in Xu Nian's heart.

He could no longer restrain himself. Amidst the girl's giggles, he reached out and scooped her up, pressing her tightly beneath him.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Xu Xi lay beneath him, giggling, and affectionately ruffled his hair, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"You asked for this yourself, so don't blame me~"
