***

The next day, Shen Xi woke up sore for the second time in a row. Looking up to see Su Hang's wide grin, Shen Xi suddenly had a strong urge to punch his proud face.

"Good morning." Su Hang laid on his side, one hand propping up his head. He had been staring at Shen Xi for more than half an hour already.

"Help me up." Shen Xi tried to move, but after two consecutive days of overwork, she felt nothing but her aching back.

Shen Xi started to wonder if this man was possessed. No matter how serious, indifferent, steady (in their last life), or stupid and cute (in this life) Su Hang acted; he had always been obedient and tempered. But somehow, the moment he got to the bed, Su Hang would turn into an animal. How in the world did she end up falling for his pitiful expression? With the retarded excuse of learning how to use a condom, Su Hang had asked Shen Xi for help, and Shen Xi's soft heart ended up relenting.

"I'll rub it for you." Su Hang saw Shen Xi frown as she rubbed her back and knew it must be because of yesterday's, cough, activities. So Su Hang reached out and very conscientiously helped Shen Xi knead her back.

"What time is it?" Shen Xi mumbled out.

"Just after eight," Su Hang replied.

"It's past eight?" Shen Xi stopped Su Hang's hands and said: "Then why are you still here? You should get ready for work."

"It's fine, I have time." Su Hang moved Shen Xi's hand away and continued his massage.

"It's more than a half hour's drive to the company, and you still need to get dressed and eat breakfast. Quickly get up, ah," Shen Xi said.

"I'll continue the massage for another ten minutes," Su Hang replied.

Shen Xi couldn't convince him to go, so in the end, she let him continue rubbing her back.

"So, you'd rather remedy your faults instead of taking preventive measures," Shen Xi couldn't help but mutter. "Can't you restrain yourself, ah."

Su Hang's hand paused, then began to knead Shen Xi's back a little more diligently. Su Hang said: "I can extend the massage for another ten minutes."

"Don't." Shen Xi refused.

"If you can't control your actions, you can only find remedies after the fact," Su Hang quietly mumbled.

"You....ah!" Su Hang probably didn't intend for Shen Xi to understand his mutterings, but Shen Xi was close enough to hear him clearly. Angry, Shen Xi reached out and tried to push the man. However, because of her weak body, Su Hang didn't budge, and instead, it was Shen Xi who ended up rolling away.

"Bark!" Hearing his mother's voice, Chu Wu perked up and ran to the stairs, wanting to go to the second floor. But before he could do so, he was caught by the quick-eyed Mrs. Zhang.

"Chu Wu, stay. You can't go up right now." Mrs. Zhang looked at the clock nearby. The Madam and Sir were running late; she should move breakfast back for another half hour.

However, Mrs. Zhang soon found out that she was mistaken. Five minutes later, the couple came down, with one looking angry and the other wearing an apologetic smile. Strangely, breakfast was still harmonious despite their contrasting expressions.

When it was time for Su Hang to leave, Shen Xi was still angry and didn't want to send him off. But when she thought back to the sad words Su Hang had said yesterday, Shen Xi couldn't help but stand. In the end, she walked the man to the door.
