Twenty minutes later, Tian Xiwei opened the door and walked in.

She was wearing a loose sweatshirt and a mask, and peeked inside furtively before slipping in.

"It's like a secret rendezvous between spies."

As she changed her shoes, she complained, "How much longer are you planning to keep this a secret?"

Li Ran smiled and said, "I'll tell her when I have another chance."

Tian Xiwei snorted and stopped dwelling on the issue.

She looked up, her gaze falling on his blond hair, scrutinizing him from head to toe several times.

Then she laughed, "You look like that golden-maned lion king."

Li Ran looked at her speechlessly.

She took two steps closer, reached out and touched his hair, her eyes shining: "But he's quite handsome, like he stepped out of a comic book."

Li Ran looked down at her: "What, you like it?"

Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow: "How about something different tonight?"

Li Ran smiled.

As night deepened, the city outside the window gradually quieted down, but the bedroom was still quite lively.

Tian Xiwei was exceptionally...engaged today.

Li Ran thought it might be because of her newly dyed blonde hair that she felt a sense of novelty.

When she looked at his hair, her eyes shone with a light she didn't usually have, like a child who had discovered a new toy.

"Damn it, Tian Xiwei, stop pulling my hair..."

"I'm a little excited," she said, panting.

Li Ran: "..."

morning.

Li Ran woke up first. He looked at Tian Xiwei, who was still fast asleep beside him, and got up quietly to start preparing.

Today is October 14rd.

It was also Tian Xiwei's birthday.

Li Ran stood in front of the stove, the fried eggs in the frying pan sizzling, the edges slightly browned, the yolks still runny.

The toaster next to us popped up with a "ding," and two slices of toast were steaming hot.

He turned off the stove, put the fried eggs on a plate, and picked up his phone to send a message to his assistant, Xiao Chen.

The older brother stopped there: "Is everything ready?"

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

Shiny and shiny: [Brother Ran, everything's arranged. We can head over now.]

Li Ran frowned as he looked at the WeChat name.

The older brother stopped there: "Could you please change your WeChat name?"

Shiny and Glossy: [Brother Ran, this WeChat name perfectly matches my personality, I don't want to change it...]

Li Ran smiled helplessly and typed: 【Whatever.】

He put down his phone and went to the bedroom.

The curtains were still drawn in the bedroom, making it dimly lit.

A small mound appeared on the bed, and Tian Xiwei wrapped herself in the quilt, with only a tangled mess of hair showing.

Li Ran placed the plate on the bedside table, walked to the bedside, and gently pulled back a corner of the blanket.

Her eyes were closed, her long, curled eyelashes casting a soft shadow under her eyelids, and her breathing was steady, as if she were still fast asleep.

But Li Ran noticed that her eyelashes trembled slightly.

He laughed, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Get up, you lazybones."

Tian Xiwei's lips twitched slightly, but she refrained from opening her eyes.

Li Ran reached out and pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms, as if to pick her up.

She finally couldn't resist and opened her eyes. Her big, round eyes were still a little sleepy, but also held a hint of a smile she couldn't hide.

"don't want……"

She mumbled softly, "I'll lie down a little longer..."

Li Ran ignored her, pulled her out of the blanket, and picked her up horizontally.

Tian Xiwei exclaimed "Ouch!" and wrapped her arms around his neck without struggling. She just leaned against him and laughed.

Li Ran carried her into the bathroom and placed her in front of the sink.

The mirror reflected two people: he was wearing simple loungewear, his blond hair slightly disheveled, and she was wearing his white T-shirt, her hair a mess like a little madwoman.

Tian Xiwei looked at herself in the mirror, wrinkled her nose, then turned to Li Ran and said in a coquettish tone, "Can you help me swipe it?"

Li Ran picked up her toothbrush, squeezed on the toothpaste, and paused upon hearing this.

He turned his head, his eyes slightly narrowed: "What, didn't I swipe it for you last night?"

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, and her face turned red instantly.

She glared at him and lightly punched him: "Hurry up! It's my birthday today!"

Li Ran smiled, stopped teasing her, and handed her the toothbrush, carefully brushing her teeth.

Tian Xiwei tilted her head back, opened her mouth, and obediently let him do as he pleased.

Her eyes curved into two crescent moons, clearly showing she was very happy.

After brushing her teeth, she rinsed her mouth, then turned around, looked up at him, and said, "Kiss."

Li Ran lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.

Just as he was about to back away, she suddenly jumped up, hung herself on him, wrapped her legs around his waist, and put her arms around his neck.

Li Ran swayed slightly from her lunge, then steadily caught her, his hands cupping her.
