My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

It's so warm and cozy at home, but incredibly aloof and cold outside.

Loved it.

Wang Yuting followed her heart and confessed, "Jiu, I want to see you in a nurse's uniform."

Lin Jiu's hand trembled slightly. He looked up, glared at Wang Yuting, and poked her ankle again.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Let you talk a good game."

Lin Jiu took the towel wrapped with the ice pack off her face in an annoyed manner, got up and walked away.

Just as Wang Yuting thought Lin Jiu was angry and lowered her head in self-reproach, she suddenly heard Lin Jiu muttering.

"I can't wear it all by myself, can I?"

"Oh oh oh!!"

I understand!

My day has arrived!

Wang Yuting has decided that she can buy some cosplay outfits to play with later!

No, I have a cosplay outfit at home!

It's right in the closet!

At this moment, Lin Jiu was unaware of the terrible consequences his careless remark would have in the future. At least for now, he simply wanted to see Wang Yuting in a nurse's uniform... not just any ordinary nurse's uniform.

Yes, everyone understands.

Lin Jiu found the first-aid kit in the cabinet and picked up a bottle of unpackaged, unlabeled medicated oil. He opened the cap and smelled it; it was the same medicated oil Wang Yuting had applied to his arms when he was injured. He remembered it being incredibly effective, and jokingly called it an ancestral remedy…maybe it really was?

"If it hurts, just yell out, but I won't stop."

Lin Jiu showed no mercy; after all, you can't be too gentle when applying ointment to a sprained area, or it won't be effective. As long as you don't apply it to the wrong spot, even applying a little pressure won't be a problem, though pain is inevitable.

To Lin Jiu's surprise, while he was focused on applying the medicine to Wang Yuting, she didn't utter a single sound of pain.

"Uh-huh……"

Although she didn't cry out in pain, she occasionally let out moans that made people blush, which particularly bothered Lin Jiu.

As Lin Jiu moved his hands, Wang Yuting's irregular breathing rose and fell accordingly, sounding increasingly worse. Luckily, Mingyuexuan's house had excellent soundproofing; otherwise, the neighbors would probably have come to complain.

It's only broad daylight...

Is this really appropriate?

After applying the medicated oil, Lin Jiu wrapped a breathable gauze around Wang Yuting's swollen ankle and secured it. He rubbed his hands together, spreading the remaining medicated oil evenly onto his palms. The oil was quite effective; his hands, which had felt burning hot, now felt much more comfortable.

Lin Jiu asked, "How are you feeling?"

Wang Yuting slumped onto the sofa, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and gave a thumbs up: "So comfortable."

"?"

Lin Jiu said irritably, "I'm asking if you're still in pain!"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore." Wang Yuting finally came to her senses, her legs, which had gone numb from embarrassment, slightly tucked together. She hadn't realized before that this movement could easily expose her.

In fact, Lin Jiu had already informed Rilakkuma Panties.

Because of his childish nature, Lin Jiu remained completely unfazed by the situation.

Who would have thought that a sophisticated woman dressed in an elegant suit, as if she were attending a gala, was actually wearing cute lingerie?

Wang Yuting blushed as she looked at Lin Jiu and asked softly, "Should we take them off?"

"Take off what?"

Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

"It's nothing!" Wang Yuting angrily picked up a cushion and threw it at Lin Jiu. This clueless man! He had such a good opportunity but didn't make a move! She had already prepared herself mentally, and was even planning to take off her skirt, and then he told her that she only needed to take off her shoes.

Lin Jiu took the pillow, somewhat bewildered.

After thinking about it, he finally understood why Wang Yuting was so angry.

They must be hungry.

Lin Jiu understood this feeling very well; he often felt the same way before he met her.

"Take care of your foot injury first. Call the company and ask for leave in the next couple of days. I'll stay with you," Lin Jiu suggested. He had originally only planned to ask his homeroom teacher for half a day off, but now he thought it would be better to rest for two more days.

"it is good!"

Of course Wang Yuting listens to Lin Jiu; if she doesn't listen to him, who else should she listen to?

She immediately took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her manager to request a shift change and leave. As soon as she opened her phone, she saw more than ten missed calls.

Wang Yuting then remembered that she had skipped work, which was the first time she hadn't had perfect attendance since joining the company... Oh well, it's no big deal. Even if the sky were to fall, nothing would be as important to her as Lin Jiu's matter.

Besides, Wang Yuting still has annual leave to take, so she can use it now.

Annual leave is meaningless if you don't use it when you need it!

Wang Yuting originally planned to combine her annual leave and holidays to go back to her hometown to visit her parents. Now, that plan has been completely forgotten. What does it mean when a daughter grows up and leaves home?

"We've finished the groceries we bought Saturday night, so we need to go to the supermarket to buy some more. What would you like to eat?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Don't go out to buy groceries today, for lunch..."

Wang Yuting glanced at the time; it was time for afternoon tea.

I hadn't felt it before, but now that I've come to my senses, I'm incredibly hungry.

Wang Yuting didn't want Lin Jiu to be so tired. No matter how capable he was, he was still just a high school student who had just come of age. After experiencing so much today, he deserved a rest. Lin Jiu was indeed very observant, but Wang Yuting was no less observant than him. She had seen Lin Jiu look exhausted several times, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to cook in that state.

"I've made up my mind, I'll just order McDonald's delivery!"

"But……"

"It's okay, just consider it an employee benefit! This is a company with a conscience, we provide meals, accommodation, social security, and even wives," Wang Yuting said confidently.

Lin Jiu was hit in the face again, and he stammered, "That's not what I meant, I was just a little surprised."

"What's so surprising?"

"I...have never eaten McDonald's."

Lin Jiu said somewhat dejectedly.

He wanted to eat it when he was a child, but his mother wouldn't allow it.

At that time, in addition to practicing singing and dancing every day, he also ate very strict healthy meals every day.

Perhaps that's why Lin Jiu never grew taller?

When she grew up... Lin Jiu couldn't bear to spend money to buy it.

Aren't expired bento boxes from convenience stores appealing? Aren't fresh milk and yogurt that are about to expire appealing? And when cooking oden, isn't it fun to openly sample various meatballs to check if they're cooked through?

This fish ball doesn't seem cooked yet, let me have a bite.

This beef ball is almost done, have a bite.

This tofu is too salty, I need to eat something else to balance out the saltiness.

This radish is just right.

Lin Jiu began to miss Uncle Yang.

It was Uncle Yang who taught him that: when you cook oden, remember to taste it first.

Have you ever eaten at a family-run restaurant like Saizeriya?

"I've never been there even once."

"I understand."

Wang Yuting nodded.

She waved to Lin Jiu, her movements somewhat hurried.

Lin Jiu instinctively went over, but was pulled into Wang Yuting's arms.

"Well--"

Lin Jiu was so tense that she dared not move.

Wang Yuting gently stroked his back, slowly calming him down.

Lin Jiu gradually relaxed, silently savoring the embrace. The unexpected softness was so captivating that he almost buried his face in it, showing no intention of getting up.

Wang Yuting held Lin Jiu in her arms, her voice gentler than ever before, captivating all who heard it.

"From now on, I want to see more beautiful scenery with you."

"Ah."

"I want to do so many things with you."

"Um……"

"I want to grow old with you."

"……Um."

Testimonials

@@Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in this book and for reading up to this point from the first chapter.

It is my good fortune to have met you all.

Thank you so much.

This is my first attempt at writing about youth, and I truly didn't expect it to be so well-received. I'm flattered and overwhelmed. The reason I started writing this book was because I had my wisdom teeth extracted at the end of July, and the pain kept me awake at night, so I got out of bed to write.

Since life is so bitter, at least add some sugar to your coffee.

At that time, I thought I wanted to write a sweet romantic comedy, a fairy tale for adults.
