On Sunday morning, the sunshine was bright, and the warm light shone into the room, giving a delightful feeling of transparency.
Dai Shiyuan woke up in a good mood and took a cup to wash up.
As soon as she left the room, she saw Shan Yaxin coming out of her room, already dressed and ready to go out.
"Xiaoyuan, I have to work overtime today. There's porridge in the kitchen. Remember to eat," Shan Yaxin closed the door and smiled as she reminded her.
Dai Shiyuan nodded absentmindedly and walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as she stepped in with one foot, she heard a noise at the entrance.
Turning around, Dai Shiyuan met Shan Yaxin's gentle and smiling face.
"Xiaoyuan, make sure you eat on time and well while alone at home. If you're bored, take a walk outside," Shan Yaxin said, changing her shoes. After opening the door, she paused for a second, turned around, and made a heart gesture with her fingers. "I'll wait for you tonight after work."
Dai Shiyuan was taken aback, and by the time she reacted, Shan Yaxin was already gone.
She took a glass of water and took a big sip, then brushed her teeth hard.
In the mirror, she saw her round face, with black and white distinct eyes, showing a hint of shyness.
Shan Yaxin learned the hand-heart gesture quickly and used it skillfully, especially when she smiled back. It gave off a feeling that was even brighter than the sunshine.
In that moment, Dai Shiyuan's heart rate accelerated uncontrollably.
Before, she could be immune to Shan Yaxin's looks, but recently, her resistance seemed to have weakened, and her heart rate accelerated easily.
Dai Shiyuan thought about it carefully and could only blame it on Shan Yaxin's personality charm that had skyrocketed after her divorce.
After spending the whole day inside the house, Dai Shiyuan went out to work.
Today, she had used a new lipstick, and the effect was indeed better than the one she bought herself.
Dai Shiyuan arrived half an hour early and saw Qiuqiu doing her makeup. She walked over and greeted her.
Qiuqiu turned around and suddenly exclaimed dramatically, "Xiao Dai, your lipstick looks great today! What color is it? Introduce it to me quickly."
Being praised was a happy thing, but Qiuqiu's reaction was obviously exaggerated and had a deliberate meaning.
Dai Shiyuan blushed slightly and reported the color and brand of the lipstick.
"Did you choose this? It doesn't seem like your taste and style," Qiuqiu checked on her phone for the same product and said doubtfully. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she approached Dai Shiyuan mysteriously, "Did your Teacher Shan choose it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Shiyuan's heart tightened, and she frowned, not wanting to answer.
Seeing this, Qiuqiu understood that her guess was correct, and she showed a coquettish smile and said, "Xiaoyuan, you've been working here for a while, don't you know what it means when someone gives you lipstick?"
"I bought it myself, she just wanted to help me pick it out," Dai Shiyuan explained seriously.
"Does that mean you went out on a date?" Qiuqiu immediately seized the key point, her smile becoming even more suggestive, and her eyes full of gossip.
"We just went shopping, it wasn't a date. I told you, Teacher Shan is not from this circle," Dai Shiyuan said, her mouth pursed, full of helplessness.
The women here were all savvy, especially Qiuqiu, who was adept at dealing with all types of women.
She was no match for them and couldn't win.
"Is that so?" Qiuqiu hooked her lips, clearly not believing what was said.
They all agreed that Shan Yaxin was definitely a lesbian, and only Dai Shiyuan, the stupid little lamb, insisted that her Teacher Shan was not.
This foolish little lamb would one day be eaten by a hunter who looked harmless on the outside.
If it weren't for Cheng Beibei's rule that employees couldn't have ambiguous relationships, someone would have made a move long ago.
Dai Shiyuan was too lazy to explain any further and went to prepare after changing her clothes.
As she passed through the employee corridor, she unexpectedly saw Cheng Beibei walking with a woman.
Although she didn't see clearly, she could be sure that the woman was Zuo Fan.
Thinking about the relationship between the two, Dai Shiyuan frowned and then relaxed.
Based on Shan Yaxin's current character, she should be able to accept this.
Work time quickly arrived, and Dai Shiyuan started to get busy.
After delivering drinks to a table of customers, she prepared to leave but was signaled to wait.
"Excuse me, I heard that your bar recently got a cold and elegant beauty who often sits over there," the customer pointed to where Shan Yaxin usually sat, her eyes excitedly asking, "Is she coming tonight?"
"Sorry, this customer doesn't have a fixed schedule, so we can't tell if she'll come tonight," Dai Shiyuan answered with standard language, feeling a little unhappy inside.
"Do you have her contact information?" the customer asked persistently.
Dai Shiyuan shook her head and said seriously, "The bar has a rule that we can't ask customers for their contact information."
The customer immediately showed a disappointed look and began to drink boringly.
Dai Shiyuan turned around and went to another table. After being busy for a while, she found some free time and quickly went to the restroom to call Shan Yaxin.
"Sister Yaxin, you don't have to wait for me tonight. I can go back by myself," Dai Shiyuan said quickly as soon as the phone was answered.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yaxin looked at the pile of unfinished work, rubbed her forehead and smiled, "Okay, I probably won't have time to come over tonight. Be safe when you go back."
"Okay." Dai Shiyuan nodded happily, her tone suddenly becoming excited.
Shan Yaxin felt uncomfortable hearing this change in her mood and decided to go over.
Dai Shiyuan continued to work, paying attention to the customer she had asked about earlier.
Before ten o'clock, the customer left, probably because they had run out of patience.
Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
"Xiao Dai, Sister Beibei wants two bottles of wine. Can you bring them over?" the bartender asked.
"Okay." Dai Shiyuan nodded in agreement and picked up the wine, only to realize that she would probably run into Zuo Fan.
She wasn't afraid of embarrassment, but was afraid that Zuo Fan might feel awkward.
Knowing her cold and serious nature, she probably wouldn't show any such expression.
When she arrived at Cheng Beibei's door, Dai Shiyuan knocked and said in a moderate tone, "Sister Beibei, I'm here to bring you the wine."
There was no response from inside, and after a while, the door opened, revealing a cold face.
"Teacher Zuo." Dai Shiyuan smiled politely and called out first.
Zuo Fan's eyebrows furrowed, involuntarily showing the sternness of a teacher, "How can a student like you work here? Does your family know about this?"
"Sister Yaxin knows." Dai Shiyuan answered calmly.
"How can Xiaoxin be at ease with you working here?" Zuo Fan was surprised and skeptical of this statement.
"She's not at ease, so she often comes to pick me up after work." Cheng Beibei's voice with a hint of hostility came from nearby.
Dai Shiyuan had just wanted to explain that "not often" was more accurate, but when she met Zuo Fan's inquiring gaze, she nodded.
Zuo Fan looked uncertain.
Cheng Beibei saw this and gave Dai Shiyuan a signal.
Dai Shiyuan understood and handed over the wine before quickly leaving.
Just as she reached the front hall, she saw Shan Yaxin coming in, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Through the crowd, Shan Yaxin hooked her lips and smiled, sitting in her usual spot.
Dai Shiyuan immediately walked over, slightly bowing and asking in a low voice, "Sister Yaxin, why did you come? Didn't you say you wouldn't come?"
"I finished work smoothly and came to relax." Shan Yaxin propped up her cheek with one hand, smiled and pretended to ask casually, "Does Xiaoyuan not welcome me?"
"I..." Dai Shiyuan was suddenly at a loss for words.
It was a good thing to have someone accompany her back, but Shan Yaxin's outstanding qualities made her easy to be targeted by others in this bar, which made her quite worried.
After hesitating for a moment, Dai Shiyuan hesitantly said, "It's not a big deal..."
Her tone was very reluctant, and Shan Yaxin couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and discomfort. She still smiled and said, "Xiaoyuan, give me two bottles of wine."
Hearing the name of the wine Shan Yaxin ordered, Dai Shiyuan frowned and advised in a low voice, "You're ordering high-proof alcohol. Let me get you something milder."
"Okay, thank you." Shan Yaxin nodded, smiling and accepting the drink, raising her hand to gently massage her forehead.
Dai Shiyuan came back with the drinks and saw that Shan Yaxin was still in the same position, looking very tired.
She put the drinks on the table and was about to speak when a sudden force pushed her forward from behind.
The force was strong, and Dai Shiyuan's body fell straight forward, pouncing onto Shan Yaxin.
Fortunately, Shan Yaxin reacted to the sound and quickly reached out to catch her, avoiding a situation where both of them would fall.
"Sister Yaxin, can you not move?" Dai Shiyuan reminded in a small voice, her face already turning red.
Now she was lying in Shan Yaxin's arms, the two of them almost sticking together with no distance between them.
The sweet and refreshing scent from the other person's body was wafting at the tip of her nose, stimulating her brain nerves.
And when Shan Yaxin moved, the sensation of their tightly pressed skin became even stronger, the hot temperature coming through their clothes making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Sorry, I didn't notice." Shan Yaxin lowered her head, her chin resting on Dai Shiyuan's head, letting out a clear laughter from her throat.
Although she was reluctant to let go of this soft body in her arms, she had to first help her up.
Fortunately, the movement here was not big, and it didn't attract too much attention.
Shan Yaxin helped Dai Shiyuan up and asked with concern, "Xiaoyuan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." Dai Shiyuan shook her head and quickly stood up, turning around to look at the situation behind her.
However, everyone was calmly chatting and drinking, and there was no way to tell who had bumped into her earlier.
After scanning the area, Dai Shiyuan saw Qiuqiu waving at her, so she suppressed her anger and shame and walked over.
"Are you okay?" Qiuqiu asked, pointing outside and continuing, "A couple were breaking up just now, and it looked like one of them was caught cheating here. When they went out to chase after the other person, they didn't watch where they were going and bumped into you."
"These kinds of people are really despicable." Dai Shiyuan gritted her teeth in anger, still feeling the warmth from the impact.
She had fallen on Shan Yaxin before, so why did she feel her face turning red and her heart racing this time?
"It must have felt great falling onto Teacher Shan just now," Qiuqiu smirked mischievously and asked excitedly, "Is Teacher Shan's body soft? But if we're really going to talk about it, your body is probably softer, Xiao Dai. After all, you're at the age where your skin is still tender."
Dai Shiyuan rolled her eyes and didn't want to speak.
"You guys are chatting here during work hours, it seems like you're not busy," a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
Dai Shiyuan was startled and turned around to see that it was indeed Cheng Beibei. Without thinking too much, she quickly went back to work.
Qiuqiu wasn't afraid, though. She showed a charming smile and threw a flirtatious look over, asking coquettishly, "Isn't Sister Beibei enjoying her alone time? How come she has time to come and supervise us?"
"Someone is trying to ruin my good time," Cheng Beibei raised an eyebrow, her face showing anger.
Qiuqiu followed her gaze and saw Zuo Fan, who should have been in the room, walking through the crowd and stopping in front of Shan Yaxin.
"Could it be that Teacher Shan is a friend of Sister Zuo Fan?" Qiuqiu widened her eyes in surprise, but then quickly received Cheng Beibei's glare and hurriedly covered her mouth and went back to work.
These old employees knew that Cheng Beibei had a girlfriend, and had heard a little bit about their boss having an outsider enemy.
But they didn't expect the world to be so small, and for the boss's enemy to be Shan Yaxin.
Now it wasn't just an outsider enemy, but an insider enemy.

The author has something to say:
Regarding the scene where the character falls, when I originally wrote it, the fall was supposed to be on the dominant character. The submissive character was supposed to half-sit on the dominant's leg, and the position was quite suggestive. If the dominant character moved, they would touch the submissive character, causing them to blush and their heart to race. However, this scene was censored, so I had to make some modifications.
It doesn't affect the plot.
