Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Remembering that Lin Bufan had been drinking before, Zhong Xiaoqin's cheeks flushed with anger. She picked up her bag and threw it at him: "Lin Bufan! Are you crazy?! Drinking and driving? What if something happens?!"

Lin Bufan dodged and defended himself: "Oh, I just remembered..."

"Just remembered?!" Zhong Xiaoqin became even angrier and slammed her bag even harder: "Do you know how dangerous drunk driving is? It not only harms others but also yourself! If something really happens..."

Tired from fighting and almost out of breath, Zhong Xiaoqin threw her bag on the seat, turned her face away and said nothing.

Only then did Lin Bufan speak again: "Sister Xiaoqin, since you also know the dangers of drunk driving, I believe you won't let me make a mistake even if I know I'm wrong, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "You can stay, but you must sleep on the sofa." Then, Zhong Xiaoqin turned her head and looked directly into Lin Bufan's eyes, her cheeks slightly red but her tone was firm: "Don't have any bad thoughts, otherwise I will kick you out immediately."

Sleeping on the sofa?!

How could a real man sleep on the couch?

But don’t worry, we have to take one step at a time. The most important thing is to stay here first, and we can talk about other things after you stay here!

"I swear, I will behave myself perfectly!" As he said this, Lin Bufan raised three fingers as if he was swearing!

After the two went upstairs, Lin Bufan's true nature was immediately exposed when he saw the narrow sofa in the living room: "Sister Xiaoqin, are you sure this thing can be used to sleep? It's so long that I can't even straighten my legs!" As he spoke, Lin Bufan gestured at his height with a look of grievance on his face.

Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes: "Sleep or not, that's the condition."

Lin Bufan approached the sofa and poked the cushion with his finger: "Isn't this sofa too hard? You know, I've been spoiled since I was a child. Even if there are twenty mattresses and twenty duck down quilts between me, I can still feel a pea underneath. If I sleep here for one night, I will definitely get a herniated disc in my waist!" As he said this, Lin Bufan turned his head and looked at Zhong Xiaoqin pitifully: "Sister Xiaoqin, can you bear to see me in such a miserable state?"

"How can you bear it!" Zhong Xiaoqin was speechless. Twenty mattresses and twenty duck down quilts. Do you think you are the Prince and the Pea?

"This sofa cover is pilling. It's causing my skin allergies. What should I do?"

"Then you sleep on the floor."

"The ground is so cold, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was annoyed and took a deep breath. "Okay, okay, I'll sleep on the sofa and you sleep on the bed. Is that okay?"

Lin Bufan immediately shook his head: "How can that be! How can I, a tall and strong man, let a girl sleep on the sofa? If this gets out, how can I, Lin Bufan, live my life?"

"Then what do you want?" Zhong Xiaoqin gritted her teeth in anger.

Lin Bufan blinked, his face sincere: "How about... we sleep in the same bed? I promise to behave myself and never cross the line!"

"You wish!" Zhong Xiaoqin picked up the pillow and threw it at him: "Either sleep on the sofa or leave now!"

Lin Bufan caught the pillow and sighed, "Sister Xiaoqin, you are too cruel."

Zhong Xiaoqin no longer paid attention to Lin Bufan's antics, turned around and walked straight to the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

Lin Bufan heard the door lock click and immediately collapsed onto the sofa, wailing exaggeratedly: "Ouch! This sofa hurts my back!"

At the same time, Lin Bufan took out his cell phone and tapped the screen rapidly:

[Lin Bufan]: Sister Xiaoqin, there's a cockroach staring at me from the crack in the sofa! It claims this is its territory!

In the bedroom, Zhong Xiaoqin had just changed into her pajamas when her phone screen lit up. She glanced at it, her mouth twitching, and tossed the phone to the bedside.

A muffled "bang" sound came from the living room, followed by Lin Bufan's scream: "My toe hit the coffee table! It's about to break!"

Zhong Xiaoqin's phone vibrated again

[Lin Bufan]: It's really broken.jpg (The accompanying image is an X-ray I found online)

Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes and crawled into bed. Her phone vibrated for the third time:

Lin Bufan: I heard you snickering! You wicked woman who watched someone die without helping!

Zhong Xiaoqin finally couldn't help but reply:

Zhong Xiaoqin: Do you need me to call an ambulance? What material should the urn be made of?

Lin Bufan replied immediately:

Lin Bufan: I want peach wood! Wait... you actually cursed me to death? My heart is broken, and I need a kiss from Sister Xiaoqin to heal!

Zhong Xiaoqin turned her phone to silent mode. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cough erupted from the living room: "Cough, cough, cough! I'm choking on my own saliva! Help—"

The phone screen keeps flickering in the dark:

[Lin Bufan]: I think I see my great-grandmother waving...

[Lin Bufan]: She asked me why I hadn’t married yet…

[Lin Bufan]: I said I was locked out by a cruel woman...

Zhong Xiaoqin grabbed a pillow and threw it at the door: "If you make any more noise, go back to sleep in the hallway!"

As Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, the living room instantly became quiet, and even her cell phone stopped flashing.

Just when Zhong Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the living room, as if someone had gone out!

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains onto the bed. When Lin Bufan opened his eyes, he was met with Zhong Xiaoqin's face, which was very close to him. She was sitting cross-legged, her hair disheveled, and there was a noticeable amount of eye mucus in the corner of her eye.

"Good morning, Sister Xiaoqin." Lin Bufan grinned, his voice nasal.

Zhong Xiaoqin reached out expressionlessly, pinching Lin Bufan's cheeks and pulling them apart. "Lin Bufan, is your face made of a city wall? How can you be so thick?"

"Hiss—be gentle!" Lin Bufan struggled with his teeth bared. "Sister Xiaoqin, haven't you heard a saying? Shameless people enjoy the world first, and people with dignity can only watch the shameless people enjoy the world. This is the law of nature!"

"Wrong logic!" Zhong Xiaoqin let go of her hand and angrily picked up a pillow and threw it at Lin Bufan: "I've never seen someone as reckless as you!"

Lin Bufan caught the pillow and stood up to hug Zhong Xiaoqin in his arms. Zhong Xiaoqin was caught off guard and bumped into Lin Bufan's chest, struggling subconsciously: "Let me go!"

"Don't move." Lin Bufan tightened his arms and rested his chin lightly on the top of Zhong Xiaoqin's head: "You didn't sleep all night, right? The dark circles under your eyes are almost falling to the corners of your mouth."

Zhong Xiaoqin's struggle gradually weakened, and she realized that she was indeed very sleepy, and her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Go get some sleep." Lin Bufan's voice came from above his head, with a reassuring warmth: "I promise to just hold you and do nothing else."

Zhong Xiaoqin mumbled a vague "hmm," and her tense body slowly relaxed. She listened to the steady sound of her heartbeat, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the sleeping Zhong Xiaoqin, Lin Bufan couldn't help but smile. As expected, only when one is shameless can one have everything!

Last night, after encountering Zhong Xiaoqin's stubborn resistance, Lin Bufan chose to retreat and ran directly to the corridor!

After Zhong Xiaoqin could no longer hear any movement from Lin Bufan, she tossed and turned but still couldn't fall asleep!

At three in the morning, Zhong Xiaoqin finally couldn't help herself and tiptoed to open the door. The living room was empty, and the blanket on the sofa was neatly folded, without even a wrinkle.

Zhong Xiaoqin's heart suddenly sank, and she ran to the entrance barefoot, only to find that Lin Bufan's shoes were also missing. Now, Zhong Xiaoqin became even more anxious, and she grabbed her coat and hurried out the door.

The corridor sensor light came on as the door opened. A dark shadow was curled up in the corner. Lin Bufan was sitting on the steps with his knees hugged, his head dozing off.

Zhong Xiaoqin squatted down and found that Lin Bufan's cheeks were abnormally flushed. She gently touched Lin Bufan's forehead and felt it was burning hot.

Can it be less hot?

You know, this was heated by Lin Bufan using his 100% power warming baby skill after he heard Zhong Xiaoqin coming out of the bedroom.

Let’s put it this way, it’s no different from putting your forehead on a stainless steel kettle of boiling water. If Lin Bufan didn’t have this abnormal body, he would have been scalded!

Lin Bufan pretended to be dazed when he opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Xiaoqin, your cockroaches... know Wing Chun..."

When Zhong Xiaoqin saw that the person was confused due to the fever, she immediately rushed to help Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan also cooperated very well and put his arms around Zhong Xiaoqin's neck. At the same time, in order to prevent Zhong Xiaoqin from being unable to support him, Lin Bufan was very considerate and did not put his own weight on Zhong Xiaoqin!

At first, Zhong Xiaoqin planned to send Lin Bufan to the hospital, but at Lin Bufan's insistence, Zhong Xiaoqin finally helped Lin Bufan back to the room.

Of course, this time it’s not the living room, but the bedroom!

Zhong Xiaoqin was awakened by a gentle touch. She felt a soft touch on her lips, like a feather brushing against them. When she slowly opened her eyes, she was met with Lin Bufan's handsome face, so close to her—this guy was actually kissing her!

"Hmm!" Zhong Xiaoqin woke up instantly, pushed Lin Bufan away, and wiped her lips vigorously with the back of her hand: "Lin Bufan! What are you doing!"

Lin Bufan was pushed down and fell to the edge of the bed, but he smiled innocently: "Wake-up call."

"Wake me up, you big-headed ghost!" Zhong Xiaoqin picked up a pillow and threw it at Lin Bufan's face: "Who allowed you to kiss me casually? Do you think that just because I kissed you yesterday, you can do whatever you want?" Zhong Xiaoqin's ears were red as blood, but her voice was getting louder and louder: "I was drunk! I was just thanking you for spending the day with me! Don't be so self-indulgent!"

Lin Bufan was hit by the pillow and stepped back repeatedly, but he still tried to argue: "Sister Xiaoqin, in fairy tales, princesses are always woken up by the prince's kiss! I am strictly following the fairy tale standards!"

"Fairy Tale!" Zhong Xiaoqin was so angry that she grabbed another pillow and threw it at him: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Lin Bufan caught the flying pillow, looking aggrieved: "That was my first kiss! Sister Xiaoqin, you're lucky!"

"First kiss?!" Zhong Xiaoqin almost laughed out of anger. She pointed at Lin Bufan's nose and shouted, "Are your 170 ex-girlfriends just for show? You told me this was your first kiss? Do you think I can believe it?"

Lin Bufan blinked his eyes, looking disgusted: "Sister Xiaoqin, your thoughts are too dirty. We are just a pure boyfriend and girlfriend. We usually just hold hands and take a walk. How could we do such an excessive thing as you said!"

"My thoughts are dirty? You are pure?" Zhong Xiaoqin pointed at herself in disbelief: "How can you say such a thing..."

Before Zhong Xiaoqin could finish, Lin Bufan waved his hand and interrupted her: "Okay, okay, Sister Xiaoqin, I forgive you. Hurry up and wash up and eat, otherwise it will be cold."

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes widened, and she stamped her feet in anger. "What do you mean by forgive me? It was you who kissed me secretly! Lin Bufan, are you reasonable?"

"Tell me, why not?" Lin Bufan smiled and moved closer: "I've already forgiven you, haven't I? What else do you want?"

"You——" Zhong Xiaoqin grabbed Lin Bufan's collar and said, "Who wants your forgiveness? It's obviously you who did something wrong, I should be the one to forgive you!"

Lin Bufan's eyes lit up, and he immediately held Zhong Xiaoqin's hand that was holding his collar: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoqin, for forgiving me! I knew you were the most generous!" As he said that, he took the opportunity to kiss the back of Zhong Xiaoqin's hand.

“You—” Zhong Xiaoqin retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Lin Bufan had already rushed out of the bedroom: “Come and eat! I cooked your favorite century egg and lean pork porridge!”

On the dining table, two bowls of steaming porridge sat beside golden fried eggs and a few side dishes. Zhong Xiaoqin sat down with a stern face, scooping a spoonful of porridge into her mouth. The delicious flavor made her frown soften unconsciously, but she quickly frowned again.

Lin Bufan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it in Zhong Xiaoqin's bowl, smiling brightly: "Sister Xiaoqin, try this. I specially added more vinegar to stimulate your appetite."

Zhong Xiaoqin poked the ribs in the bowl with her chopsticks, but stared at Lin Bufan: "Stop changing the subject! You just kissed me secretly, haven't you..."

"This stir-fried seasonal vegetables is cooked to perfection." Lin Bufan added another handful of greens to her bowl: "Eating more vegetables is good for your skin."

"Lin Bufan!" Zhong Xiaoqin slammed her chopsticks on the table: "I'm talking about serious matters!"

"Try this steamed egg with shrimp." Lin Bufan scooped a spoonful of the smooth egg custard: "I used broth as the base, it's especially delicious."

Zhong Xiaoqin angrily scooped a spoonful of egg custard into her mouth and said vaguely, "Don't think you can bribe me with delicious food... Well, this one is really tender."

"Really?" Lin Bufan smiled and poured another bowl of soup for Zhong Xiaoqin: "I stewed this soup for two hours, and the bones are all crispy."

Zhong Xiaoqin took a sip from the soup bowl, but her eyes were still fixed on Lin Bufan: "You must give me an explanation for what happened just now... Wow, this soup is really delicious."

"If you like it, drink more." Lin Bufan put another piece of braised pork into Zhong Xiaoqin's bowl: "Sister Xiaoqin, try this braised pork. I used a special method to remove the fat. It can be said to be fat but not greasy. It is a delicacy in the world."

Zhong Xiaoqin picked up a piece of braised pork and suddenly realized: "Wait! How did you lead me astray again?"

"More rice?" Lin Bufan had already stood up to serve the rice: "This rice is from Wuchang in Northeast China. It's very fragrant."

“Lin Bufan!” Zhong Xiaoqin’s cheeks puffed up with anger: “Listen to me carefully!”

"This cucumber salad is very refreshing." Lin Bufan placed the rice in front of Zhong Xiaoqin: "It's the best way to relieve greasiness."

Zhong Xiaoqin took two bites of rice and suddenly laughed in frustration: "Forget it, I'll be pissed off sooner or later if I get serious with you."

Lin Bufan leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily: "That's right, a kiss won't make you lose any flesh. Instead of worrying about this, why not think about where to go for fun today?"

"What are you kidding! Today is Tuesday, and I have to go to school..." Zhong Xiaoqin's expression suddenly changed mid-sentence. She snatched up her phone, and the 12:07 on the screen was particularly glaring. "It's over! This is definitely absenteeism!"

Lin Bufan leisurely picked up a piece of cucumber and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already asked for leave for you."

Just as Zhong Xiaoqin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table: "You're making the decision for me again without my permission?"

Lin Bufan was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply: "Sister Xiaoqin, you are right."

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned, and a bad feeling suddenly came over her: "What do you mean?"

"I didn't ask for leave for you." Lin Bufan put down his chopsticks and said sincerely, "You were so angry yesterday, how could I dare to make the decision on my own?"

Zhong Xiaoqin panicked instantly: "You mean... I really skipped work?"
