After showering, they were both too tired and listless to clean up the mess on one bed, so they simply moved to the other room, lying together, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

    Then, the movements gradually changed, eventually becoming Xiao Wenyu comfortably nestled in Ruan Shengyi’s arms, the warm body temperature providing just the right amount of warmth.

    Xiao Wenyu was a bit sleepy, her head drooping slightly against the pillow, but she still remembered to gently touch Ruan Shengyi’s hand from time to time.

    This was the necessary aftercare, although most of the time it was skipped, but this time her big boss was truly experiencing it for the first time, so even if she was sleepy, she wanted her big boss to experience the whole process completely.

    Ruan Shengyi nuzzled her ear, “Are you sleepy? I saw online that you get very sleepy after it’s over. If you’re sleepy, just sleep.”

    So husky, like the rising temperature when snow falls, the ear is no longer cold and crisp, sticking together, like spring.

    Xiao Wenyu chuckled softly, took her hand, and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, “Say goodbye to her again.”

    Ruan Shengyi raised the corners of her lips, “Little girl, you did a good job tonight. I’ll take you out for a big meal when you come out.”

    Xiao Wenyu wanted to laugh, but she felt a bit melancholic in her heart, and softly murmured, “When she comes out…”

    That would be a long, long time from now.

    “This place will become very ugly in the future, maybe my whole person will become ugly…”

    Ruan Shengyi buried her face in her shoulder, her voice muffled, “It’s okay, I know everything. The network information push is very powerful now.”

    She had seen those photos, and even collected a lot of information about the care she should take and the methods she should use. She had already ordered the body lotion and other things she needed.

    After all, her initial plan was to arrange everything before crossing that line. This trip she just wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it, but she didn’t expect to go so far in one step.

    It was novel and comfortable.

    Xiao Wenyu felt even sleepier, and hearing this, she raised her lips and smiled, patting the back of the woman’s hand, “Okay, okay…”

    “Take your arm out, otherwise you’ll be very uncomfortable later…”

    She spoke intermittently, the fluffiness in her neck nest like a hypnotic feather, casually rubbing against her, making her exceptionally sleepy.

    Ruan Shengyi touched the back of her neck, “Go to sleep early.”

    “Remember tomorrow, come to me for a gift.” Her voice was even lower, but the woman’s heart was warmer.

    There was a gift too, something that belonged to her.

    Ruan Shengyi lowered her eyes and watched the person in her arms gradually fall asleep, her body gradually softening. Only a pair of hands remained, gently covering her chest, protecting herself.

    She quietly pulled out her arm, and little by little, using the quilt, completely wrapped the person in it. Only after completely leaving that space did she lean down and gently kiss the corner of Xiao Wenyu’s eye.

    “Good night, sleep well.”

    She put on a coat, hugged her computer, and sat in the washroom, closing the door. She took out the dual-purpose USB drive and card reader and imported all the photos taken on her phone and camera into the computer.

    As the data slowly crawled, Ruan Shengyi opened her chat interface with Li Wan. The filter data and software operation methods that Xiao Wenyu often used were all in the chat box.

    The dense words gave Ruan Shengyi a headache.

    She pinched the center of her eyebrows, selected a photo and made a copy first, and then followed the operation process, tapping with two fingers – she used to laugh at people who used computers like this, but she never thought that she would be operating a computer like this late at night without sleeping.

    But to participate in the competition, you need several groups of pictures. The photos taken this time were more free and unrestrained and should also have the qualifications to participate in the competition. If Xiao Wenyu were to repair and organize them, she definitely wouldn’t want to, and might even guess what she had done. This matter really could only be done by herself…

    Ruan Shengyi let out a long yawn, and secretly said in her heart: Come on, this is the last job tonight, finish it and it’s over!

    After finishing it, just send the registration email again, come on, come on.

    *

    The next morning.

    Ruan Shengyi turned over groggily, reaching out to the side, but the traces beside her were already a bit cold.

    Oh, she slept in the corner of the bed again today.

    When she’s not at home, she always likes to sleep like this, drifting into the corner.

    Ruan Shengyi yawned, rubbed her eyes, and subconsciously leaned towards the center, wiggling twice before suddenly waking up –

    That’s not right, shouldn’t Xiao Wenyu be beside her?!

    Her heart skipped a beat, and she sat up suddenly, when she heard the woman’s soft laughter –

    “Boss Ruan, are you awake?”

    The edge of the bed dipped slightly as the woman sat on the side of the bed holding a glass of water, “Would you like a glass of water?”

    Xiao Wenyu was wearing a very long, loose sweater this morning. The room was well heated, so she simply walked over barefoot, the loose long sweater revealing a little bit of the edge of her white underwear after she sat down.

    Wow, what a beautiful sight.

    Ruan Shengyi forced herself to move her gaze inch by inch, until she finally took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

    It was just a glass of water, but she drank it with the air of drinking alcohol.

    She put down the glass, blinked her sleepy eyes, unable to open them, and simply rested her head on Xiao Wenyu’s shoulder, gently rubbing against the sweater’s fluff.

    Xiao Wenyu picked up a strand of hair that hadn’t been combed in the morning and gently tugged it. Hearing the person cry out in pain, she pinched her earlobe and said, “Why are you more tired than me? Shouldn’t I be the one who’s so sleepy?”

    Ruan Shengyi remembered what happened last night and yawned lazily again.

    She selected and edited pictures, and finally packed them together with the photos from the previous few days and sent them to the organizing committee. It was already three-thirty. Since she started accompanying her to the hospital once, she hadn’t stayed up until three-thirty in a long time. Not to mention last night’s draining lovemaking.

    Wasn’t it normal to be a little tired?

    But she couldn’t let Xiao Wenyu know about this yet. The surprise would be most effective when the award came out.

    She simply played the rogue, rolling down, and her half-exposed shoulder rubbed against the outside of Xiao Wenyu’s creamy white thighs because of the oversized pajama t-shirt. Her head naturally rested on her lap, her eyes sleepy, half-open, looking at Xiao Wenyu with a misty gaze.

    She didn’t have this kind of experience, but she had also seen some related things. Someone said that after having it once, many things would change, especially some subtle distances, like now, she thought –

    They’ve already done it, so it shouldn’t be a problem to look, right!

    But Xiao Wenyu was still pinching her, her voice low and hoarse, “So cute, so this is what Boss Ruan is like the day after.”

    So rogue, so cute, making people want to pinch her hard.

    She wasn’t the one who was tossed around last night. If she was given that kind of tenderness and flirtation, she wondered what state she would be in the next day, and how cute she would be.

    Ruan Shengyi squinted at her, “Shouldn’t it be like this?”

    “The contrast is a bit big.” Xiao Wenyu twirled her hair, “I thought Boss Ruan would be particularly dashing, looking at me with an ‘I’ve slept with you, so what?’ expression.”

    Ruan Shengyi: “…” How did she feel like she was being turned into a Scared girl.

    She frowned in dissatisfaction, and before Xiao Wenyu could react, she lifted her sweater and simply burrowed under the hem, her voice muffled, “Incorrect judgment, re-evaluate.”

    “Go brush your teeth, get up and eat breakfast.”

    …What an unromantic woman.

    She just wouldn’t get up.

    Xiao Wenyu twitched the corner of her mouth, bent slightly, and whispered in the person’s ear, “Then, good sister, call me elder sister and let me hear it.”

    What responded to her was not the elder sister she wanted, but the person hiding under the hem took advantage of the situation and kissed her lower abdomen with the warm and humid breath of the morning. The sudden warmth and humidity made Xiao Wenyu groan uncontrollably. The upper half of her body lost most of its strength, softened for a long time before she barely stabilized herself.

    Someone else went up, rubbed against the person’s heart, and then drilled out of the sweater, looking at her flushed cheeks, trying to suppress the corners of her mouth and said, “Someone was caught not wearing underwear.”

    Xiao Wenyu patted her angrily, “Just woke up…”

    “Then…” Warm breath suddenly approached.

    But Xiao Wenyu had a look of amusement.

    Ruan Shengyi: “What are you laughing at?”

    “Your hair is frizzy…”

    “……?”

    Xiao Wenyu tried to smooth out the frizzy hair, but it was unsuccessful, “It should be because you rubbed your sweater just now and made it frizzy.”

    “……”

    The beautiful moment of tenderness was finally broken by a frizzy hair. Ruan Shengyi angrily drilled into the washroom and simply washed her face and brushed her teeth at the same time while turning on the shower. After a whole set of procedures, the original anger was extinguished a lot.

    So hateful.

    She pulled her hair in the mirror and gritted her teeth.

    Damn things, I’ll cut them all off in a few months and cut them into the way they were ten years ago to see if you’re still frizzy.

    Opening the door of the washroom, unexpectedly, Xiao Wenyu was smiling against the wall opposite the door – although the smile might not be very sincere or touching, but she was smiling after all, with her hands behind her back.

    Seeing that she was finally willing to come out with her hair still a little damp, Xiao Wenyu walked over and presented what she was holding.

    It was a glasses case, and it was new.

    Xiao Wenyu pinched the glasses case and said, “I wanted to make these glasses for you the day you dyed your hair. I bet that your original glasses were made at the same glasses store, and I went over to ask. Sure enough.”

    “She said that as long as you haven’t gained weight, the data should still be accurate. Try them on?”

    Ruan Shengyi’s sluggish brain turned around and remembered the hazy conversation before going to bed. She thought that the so-called gifts were kisses, hugs, and comfort, but she didn’t expect that they would be physical things, and such important things at that.

    Her heart softened, and she took the glasses case, “Then, whether the boss of Tonight Intoxicated can have a pair of beautiful glasses still depends on Teacher Xiao’s gift.”

    Xiao Wenyu snorted and laughed, “Anyway, they’re better than your previous ones.”

    “Those are better in simplicity!” Ruan Shengyi argued for her beloved glasses, her hands moving non-stop.

    She carefully opened the glasses case, unwrapping the layers of wrapping cloth, gradually revealing the gorgeous existence within.

    It was a little too pretty.

    They were a pair of rimless glasses with some blue crystal chips on the edges, silver frames, and light mint-colored temples. The overall color was very clean and refreshing.

    When the two went out, Ruan Shengyi would also find that these were a pair of glasses that would turn into a light blue gradient when exposed to light. The greater the sunlight, the more cold and white her complexion became, making her whole person appear cold and aloof, like someone who was not easy to mess with.

    The purpose of Boss Xiao’s gift became confusing.

    But that was all later, as for now…

    Ruan Shengyi put on her glasses and placed them aside, took a small step forward, “Brushed my teeth, and even washed my whole body.”

    Xiao Wenyu supported the arm that she put around her, looked up at her, and raised the corners of her lips, “And then?”

    “Please let Teacher Xiao see my…ability to draw inferences.”

    Her waist was hugged, and the other hand reached behind her head, supporting Xiao Wenyu’s head slightly upwards, overlapping with her red lips, and their breaths became increasingly fragmented.

    The wind outside the window became sticky.

    Xiao Wenyu leaned back, supporting the corner of the table with her hand, and gently kicked Boss Ruan’s calf.

    Their foreheads touched, and Ruan Shengyi asked, panting, “What’s wrong?”

    “Eat, I’m hungry.”

    Ruan Shengyi rubbed against her neck, her voice hoarse, “This time you behaved naughty, so one dish will be deducted from the feast.”

    Xiao Wenyu was so angry that she wanted to kick her.
