113: Chapter 113 Let's kiss again

Lin Xi felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, a creeping sensation in her heart, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch him. "What bad things are you thinking about? Why are you suddenly smiling so creepily?"

Chen Fan grabbed her hand, leaned in closer, and lowered his voice. "Xixi, if we aren't buying clothes, we should at least buy a few pairs of stockings. Winter is coming soon, you need to keep your legs warm."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant, her face flushing slightly.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, her tone carrying a hint of shy annoyance. "What kind of warmth? It's just to satisfy your fetish."

Ever since Chen Fan had asked her to wear stockings last time, she had secretly searched online: "Why do boyfriends like to have their girlfriends wear stockings?"

She discovered that over 70% of men like women wearing stockings.

"I don't have a fetish." Chen Fan said, his expression unchanged. "I'm just concerned about you, afraid you'll be cold."

"Don't give me that." Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him. "If you want me to buy them, you have to accompany me."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment. If he accompanied Lin Xi to buy them, wouldn't that mean entering a lingerie shop?

As a dignified, full-grown man, how could he possibly feel comfortable walking into a women's lingerie shop?

An image appeared in his mind: him standing in the middle of aisles filled with women's lingerie, surrounded by female customers and sales clerks, all of them looking at him with expressions reserved for a pervert.

"Are you going or not? If not, I'm not buying them." Lin Xi said, already starting to walk forward.

"Going, of course I'm going, let's go right now." Chen Fan grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the lingerie shop.

Come on, what kind of man would give up black stockings just for the sake of face? How much is face worth anyway? Black stockings are the eternal truth.

After entering the shop, looking at the store full of women's lingerie, Chen Fan lost his nerve for a moment.

The walls were hung with various styles and colors of lingerie, from conservative to sexy, from pure cotton to lace; it was a dazzling array.

He felt like all the shop assistants were watching him. Although their facial expressions didn't change, he kept feeling like they were whispering in their hearts.

He regretted it a little at that moment. Why had he impulsively agreed to enter a lingerie shop?

Fortunately, the shop assistants only glanced at Chen Fan and didn't show any look that suggested they thought he was a pervert, so he finally relaxed.

The sales clerk even smiled and asked, "Do you need any help?" in a tone that was as normal as could be. Chen Fan shook his head and pointed to Lin Xi. "I'm just accompanying my girlfriend."

The sales clerk smiled and didn't say anything else.

Chen Fan just followed along beside Lin Xi, watching her choose.

Lin Xi picked out a few pairs in the stocking section, and Chen Fan selected an extra seven or eight pairs of velvet stockings for her—in all sorts of colors.

They were originally ready to leave, but after seeing some rather sexy pajamas and lingerie, he pulled Lin Xi over to pick some out.

Lin Xi blushed and refused adamantly, but she couldn't withstand Chen Fan's pestering. In the end, they bought a black camisole nightdress, a white lace nightdress, and a set of black lace lingerie.

They were all high-end products, costing over three thousand yuan at checkout. Lin Xi carried the bags out of the store, the tips of her ears still red, while Chen Fan was quite satisfied.

It was past ten in the evening when they returned home. Chen Fan's house in Qujiang Vanke was a large, flat apartment of over two hundred square meters.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room offered a view of the city's nightscape.

After resting for a while, the two went to take showers separately.

Chen Fan showered very quickly, finishing in just over ten minutes. He changed into pajamas, lay on the bed, and stared at the bedroom door, waiting eagerly.

The bedside lamp was on, casting a warm yellow light onto the white bedsheets; the room was very quiet.

Chen Fan lay on the bed, looking at his phone.

More than thirty minutes later, Lin Xi's figure appeared at the bedroom door.

Upon seeing Lin Xi, Chen Fan's eyes immediately lit up.

She was wearing that black camisole nightdress, the thin straps hanging on either side of her collarbone, the hem of the skirt reaching just to the middle of her thighs, revealing a pair of legs wrapped in black velvet stockings.

Chen Fan put down his phone, got off the bed, and walked toward her.

Amidst her exclamation, he swept her up into his arms.

...

The next morning.

Chen Fan woke up from his sleep.

He glanced at his phone; it was just past seven in the morning.

A sliver of gray light shone through the gap in the curtains, and the room was still dark.

He looked down into his arms; Lin Xi was snuggled against his chest.

She was sleeping very soundly. Her eyelashes were lowered, her breathing even, one hand resting on his waist, her whole body curled into a ball.

Chen Fan didn't dare to move, just lying there quietly. After a good while, he gently pulled out his arm, which had already gone numb.

Fortunately, Lin Xi was sleeping very soundly; she only frowned slightly and burrowed further into his arms.

He carefully turned over and got out of bed, found his clothes, and began to put them on.

As he pulled on his T-shirt, a soft murmur suddenly came from behind him.

"What time is it?"

Chen Fan turned back; Lin Xi was opening her eyes drowsily.

"It's only seven, sleep a little longer."

"Mmm..." She responded vaguely, her eyes closing again, burying her face into the pillow, and soon there was no more sound.

The two had been a bit wild last night, tossing and turning until two in the morning, only stopping when Lin Xi really couldn't take it anymore.

The fact that she could wake up to respond just now was already pretty good.

On the contrary, Chen Fan, despite his hardworking efforts last night, felt no fatigue upon waking up this morning; he even felt quite refreshed.

It could only be said that his kidneys, having been strengthened by the system, were worthy of the name.

After washing up, Chen Fan started making breakfast in the kitchen.

There was bread and eggs in the fridge, and after rummaging around, he also found a carton of milk.

Breakfast was very simple, just these three things—fried bread, fried eggs, and hot milk.

He didn't know how to make anything too complicated; being able to fry eggs without burning them and toast bread without scorching it was already the peak of his culinary skills.

He wondered when the wealth store would refresh and offer a cooking skill.

He threw the bread slices into the frying pan, and with a sizzling sound, a charred aroma soon wafted through the kitchen.

He poured the milk into a cup and put it in the microwave for a minute.

Just as breakfast was served on the table, the bedroom door creaked open.

Lin Xi walked out of the bedroom.

"Did you brush your teeth and wash your face?" Chen Fan looked at her.

"Mmh." She nodded, her voice still carrying the huskiness of just waking up.

"Then come and eat breakfast quickly."

Lin Xi walked over, sat down beside him, and looked down at the plate in front of her.

A slice of bread toasted to a slightly golden brown, a perfectly round and pretty fried egg, and a steaming cup of milk.

Although it was very simple, Lin Xi felt very satisfied inside.

Thinking of this, she lifted her neck and kissed Chen Fan on the side of his face.

"Why did you suddenly kiss me?"

"Nothing, just wanted to kiss you."

"Oh? Nothing?" Chen Fan chuckled, leaning in a little closer. "Then kiss me again?"

Lin Xi glared at him and reached out to push him away.

"Eat! Stop messing around."
