Chen Yuan got home at nine-thirty, which wasn't very late.
At that time, Xia Xinyu wasn't back yet.
But she was already in her aunt's car.
She had messaged him while still on the ride.
Xia Xinyu: I brought you some dishes, not leftovers, they were packed before eating, so don't dislike them, okay? [Swallow Ingot]
Chen Yuan: Thanks, Xinyu. How could I possibly dislike them? That's not happening.
Chen Yuan: But aren't you at your aunt's house? What did you tell her?
She still didn't know she and Xia Xinyu were neighbors.
Did she let it slip?
Xia Xinyu: She thinks I packed it for myself.
No problem, then.
She even brings food home. Interacting with Xinyu Baby feels like skipping some steps?
It even feels like stepping into a certain rhythm ahead of time…
I better take a shower before she gets back, I'm covered in sweat.
Just then, another message came through.
Xia Xinyu: By the way, you haven't showered today, have you?
