The only difference between being a dog or not being a dog was a matter of thought.

Now that Shao Cixin had already chosen the former, there was no point in regretting her decision after the fact.

At worst, she would lose her dignity in front of Wen Zhihan, but that wasn’t such a big deal!

After putting down the glass jar, Shao Cixin returned to the couch. She sat down next to Wen Zhihan and watched her eat.

“Does it taste good?” she asked.

Wen Zhihan didn’t dislike sweets, but she also didn’t eat them often, so Shao Cixin wasn’t sure what kind of sweets her “wife” preferred.

And because of her happily married persona, Shao Cixin didn’t even have the opportunity to ask Wen Zhihan’s parents for help.

What kind of lovey-dovey wife didn’t know her partner’s taste?

Shao Cixin prayed in her heart that the flavor she chose today was suitable for Wen Zhihan’s tastes.

Wen Zhihan forked a small piece of cake into her mouth.

The cream melted on the tip of her tongue. It was sweat but not overly greasy, and the acidity was just right.

“It’s delicious,” she said.

Shao Cixin’s eyebrows immediately relaxed, and she smiled broadly. “That’s great. I’m glad you like it. I was afraid you wouldn’t.

“Do you want to try the milk tea?”

Wen Zhihan obediently took a sip. She said thoughtfully, “Hm, it’s a little sweet.”

Shao Cixin blinked. “It looks like their fifty percent sugar is still too sweet. I’ll order thirty percent next time.”

Wen Zhihan caught the keyword “next time.”

But Wen Zhihan didn’t know if “next time” meant the next time Shao Cixin came to Guanglan or the next time Shao Cixin treated her to milk tea.

She hoped it was the former and Shao Cixin would take the initiative to come and see her often.

“Does Cixin plan on visiting again?” Wen Zhihan asked.

Shao Cixin answered firmly, “Yes!”

If she wanted to develop a relationship with Wen Zhihan, she would naturally have to increase her presence in Wen Zhihan’s life.

As long as she had the time, she needed to use every opportunity to stick to Wen Zhihan, so how could she waste this precious afternoon teatime?

But if Wen Zhihan didn’t want her to, Shao Cixin wouldn’t be so persistent as to disturb her without any common sense.

“But if it’s not convenient, I won’t bother you next time…”

As she spoke, Shao Cixin turned away, her expression slightly pitiful.

“It’s convenient.”

Wen Zhihan grabbed Shao Cixin’s hand, stopping her movements. Then she made Shao Cixin look at her.

“Cixin can come anytime. Just remember to tell me in advance, and I’ll go down to pick you up.”

Shao Cixin agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”

She wanted Wen Zhihan to pick her up.

The more Wen Zhihan paid attention to her, the more likely it was that something happened between them.

Shao Cixin also believed that Wen Zhihan wouldn’t say something ridiculous like, “I just see you as a sister.”

The things that happened between them were already beyond sisterly love!

Shao Cixin’s line of sight eventually fell carelessly on the small cake on the table. Her hands cradled her cheeks as she fell into absent-mindedness.

She knew she shouldn’t be so unprincipled.

But she couldn’t help herself. Love was unreasonable and uncontrollable.

Especially when the other party was someone like Wen Zhihan…

Just as she had this thought, a small piece of cake suddenly appeared in her vision.

Shao Cixin came back to her senses. She looked at what was in front of her, then turned her gaze to Wen Zhihan. With a puzzled face, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Zhihan’s eyes were full of light and her expression was gentle. She remained still, her hand frozen in a feeding motion.

“Eat some if you want. I’ll exercise with you later.”

Shao Cixin realized that Wen Zhihan had misunderstood her intentions when she was distracted staring at the cake.

But faced with the temptation of delicious food, her heart stirred.

She wanted to eat, but she was in the middle of filming, and Rong Ya asked her to control her appetite. Otherwise, she would have to exercise a lot…

But as she stared at the cream cake in front of her longer and longer, she wanted to eat it more and more…

Alas, she, Shao Cixin, was really conflicted.

Wen Zhihan held up her hand, waiting for Shao Cixin to conclude her struggle.

After a while, there was finally a result.

Wen Zhihan saw Shao Cixin open her lips, slightly protrude her tongue, and carefully licked a small amount of cream.

Those beautiful lips closed again.

Two seconds later, Shao Cixin lowered her head and commented quietly, “It’s really delicious.”

It looked delicious, and it tasted delicious as well. And because she couldn’t eat more, it tasted even better than it would otherwise.

How could there be such a sad thing in the world…

Wen Zhihan smiled and said, “You’re eating just that piece?”

Shao Cixin raised her head and said seriously, “That’s enough. I’m full.”

Since she tasted it, she could round up and say she technically finished the whole cake!

Wen Zhihan smiled helplessly and patted her head.

Her junior sister worked very hard.

When Shao Cixin didn’t need to manage her figure, Wen Zhihan would take her out to eat whatever she wanted.

Right now, Shao Cixin couldn’t eat, so Wen Zhihan had to enjoy the food by herself.

She retracted her hand and, wearing a natural expression, directly ate the piece that Shao Cixin had licked a little cream from.

Shao Cixin saw this and wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with Wen Zhihan’s actions. They had kissed and even done it before, so it shouldn’t matter if a small piece of cake had been touched by the other party.

Shao Cixin suddenly felt a little happy.

Wen Zhihan didn’t mind eating something she touched…

This was enough to show that their relationship was closer than others. She must also have a special place in Wen Zhihan’s heart, right?

Thinking like this, Shao Cixin happily leaned against the armrest of the sofa and began playing with her phone, sharing her simple happiness with Liang Xuefei.

When she raised her eyes again, the cake had already been half-eaten.

Her gaze fell on Wen Zhihan’s lips.

There was a little cream there, like delicate cherry blossoms caked with a light layer of snow.

A hint of a smile appeared in Shao Cixin’s eyes.

It was rare to see President Wen staining her lips while she was eating, and it was quite cute.

Shao Cixin raised her body, prepared to help Wen Zhihan maintain her integrity by wiping the cream off.

But then her hand stopped before she even reached out.

She looked at Wen Zhihan’s beautiful lips.

That little bit of white cream became inexplicably attractive in her eyes.

There seemed to be a voice in her mind telling her, “You shouldn’t help Wen Zhihan wipe it off, you should help her eat it, and you should do everything possible to get close to her and be intimate with her…”

“Wen Zhihan.”

Hearing Shao Cixin’s familiar voice call her name, Wen Zhihan stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at the person next to her.

Only to see Shao Cixin say, “You have cream on your lips.”

Then Shao Cixin kissed her gently and softly.

Shao Cixin’s fragrance hit Wen Zhihan’s nose.

Her warmth fell on her lips.

Shao Cixin gifted Wen Zhihan a light, heart-tugging kiss. Then her lips left Wen Zhihan’s.

“En, it’s gone now,” Shao Cixin said shamelessly. “Don’t waste it.”

Wen Zhihan suddenly remembered the day they agreed to “meet” once a week.

On that day, Shao Cixin also came to her office to eat with her because of the three words “don’t waste it.” It was the first time Shao Cixin came to Guanglan.

And today, because of that very same motto, Shao Cixin even took the initiative to kiss her.

Wen Zhihan lowered her head and smiled slightly.

—Thank you, Auntie Lu, for teaching Cixin not to waste food since she was a child.

Seeing that Wen Zhihan was not angry and even began smiling, Shao Cixin immediately felt relieved.

As long as Wen Zhihan didn’t feel offended, she would dare to charge forward!

Let kisses become commonplace in their lives, let Wen Zhihan get used to her and fall in love with her intimacy. From this moment on, Shao Cixin would definitely work hard to accomplish those goals!

But what Shao Cixin didn’t realize was that Wen Zhihan had already learned how to lure her in.

How do you get your cute junior sister to kiss you? Just put some cream on your lips.

Wen Zhihan didn’t know if it would work every time, but she wanted to try it out and see for herself.

So she began to demonstrate her acting skills.

Her acting abilities were not very high, but they were enough to lure in one cute junior sister.

Wen Zhihan carefully avoided suspicion by controlling the situation so Shao Cixin wouldn’t notice that she was abusing this “trick.” 

Her performance was very successful.

Shao Cixin didn’t realize a thing. When she occasionally saw some cream on Wen Zhihan’s lips, she single-mindedly embraced the spirit of “I will provide a service to the people and not waste food” and happily kissed Wen Zhihan.

Trial and error led to repeated success.

Wen Zhihan was full of joy in her heart.

It was the joy that came from seeing the person you loved take the initiative to approach you.

She felt that Shao Cixin had undergone a development today and became a little more intimate with her.

As for the reason, she didn’t know. But Wen Zhihan didn’t want to cause trouble by making a fuss out of it.

Now was not the time to ask too many questions.

The next thing she needed to do also had to be done by mouth.

After eating, Wen Zhihan cleaned the table with Shao Cixin. When they were finished, she threw the paper towel in her hand into the trash and took a sip of warm water to suppress the sweetness in her mouth.

Then she turned to Shao Cixin, reached out, and took her by the waist.

It was written in their agreement that they were obligated to solve each other’s needs.

Now that Shao Cixin had stoked the fire, it was time for Wen Zhihan, the “victim,” to seek out some compensation.

Shao Cixin’s eyes widened, and her heart began racing after recognizing their sudden intimacy.

—Oh my god, it’s coming! Is this the fabled stimulating office play?

Then she heard Wen Zhihan say, “Give me a good kiss.”

The animated little flame in Shao Cixin’s heart was extinguished in an instant.

—So it turned out not to be the case.

Wen Zhihan saw the excitement flee from Shao Cixin’s face.

She asked with bewilderment, “Cixin, you seemed to be a little disappointed?”

The exposed Shao Cixin lowered her head shyly. “Ah, I thought you were going to start some office play…”

Wen Zhihan: “…”

Shao Cixin raised her eyes with an innocent look on her face.

Wen Zhihan said, “Cixin, this is an office, and it’s daytime…”

Shao Cixin’s ears were like filters that only accurately recognized the keywords.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile, “Oh, so you mean it can be done at night?”

Wen Zhihan: “…”

Shao Cixin said, “Wow, President Wen, your standards are really high.”

Wen Zhihan: “…”

Shao Cixin said, “Your ears are red, President Wen. You are so cute.”

If you listen any longer, you might be in trouble.

Wen Zhihan decided to solve the problem at the source and used her lips to block Shao Cixin’s mouth.

The world instantly became peaceful in the lingering prelude to something greater.

But within a few seconds of their lips touching, they were abruptly interrupted by a knock on the door.

“President Wen.”

The secretary’s voice came from outside, waiting for Wen Zhihan’s permission to come in.

Shao Cixin reluctantly ended her brief kiss with Wen Zhihan and sighed in her heart.

She still liked the office best when it was her and Wen Zhihan alone.

When it was quiet with no one bothering them, they could do whatever they wanted.

“Then I won’t disturb your work,” Shao Cixin said. She stood up reluctantly. “I’ll go home first.”

Although Wen Zhihan didn’t want Shao Cixin to leave, she had no excuse to keep her.

Moreover, she had a social event in the evening and couldn’t accompany Shao Cixin home after work anyway, so it was better to let Shao Cixin go now. “Be safe on the road and send me a message when you arrive.”

Shao Cixin picked up her bag and nodded her head to indicate that she understood.

Afterward, she yawned.

“Go to bed early tonight,” Wen Zhihan said.

“Okay, I understand. I’m leaving now. Bye-bye.”

“En.”

Wen Zhihan didn’t get home until past eleven in the evening.

After tidying up her loose ends, taking a shower, and finally going to their bedroom to rest, it was already midnight.

Shao Cixin was lying in bed, asleep.

Afraid of waking the other party, Wen Zhihan moved lightly and lay down quietly.

She turned over, looking at the person next to her in the dim moonlight.

In the long night, she suddenly recalled the events of that afternoon.

Over and over again, she remembered the slice of cake, the cup of milk tea, and Shao Cixin’s newfound initiative.

She could clearly feel that Shao Cixin was treating her differently. She was happy about this difference, but she couldn’t help but wonder what the cause of it was.

Did Shao Cixin like her?

Or was it something else?

Wen Zhihan wanted to ask, but she was afraid of being rejected.

She silently raised her finger and carefully touched the tip to Shao Cixin’s peaceful sleeping face, cherishing the person before her.

Cixin, I also have something that I can’t achieve.

It’s your heart, your love.

What should I do to win your heart?

Am I not even as good as Wen Yu?

Or do the heavens think that I have already received too many unreasonable luxuries from you, and I should no longer be greedy for a relationship?

But I can’t do it…

I can’t do it…

Wen Zhihan caressed the face of the person in front of her, her gentle eyes full of greed.

Then she saw Shao Cixin frowning slightly. The next second, Shao Cixin grabbed her hand.

Wen Zhihan was stunned.

When Shao Cixin felt something itchy on her face, she opened her eyes drowsily.

The first thing she saw was Wen Zhihan, who was whole and intact before her.

The corners of her lips raised slightly, and she said hoarsely, “You’re back…”

Without moving her hand, Wen Zhihan responded in a warm voice, “Did I wake you up?”

Shao Cixin shook her head. “I slept lightly today…”

Her body instinctively moved into Wen Zhihan’s arms, reaching out to hug her waist. “I was waiting for you to come back.”

Wen Zhihan was slightly startled when she heard Shao Cixin’s words, but the throbbing in her heart made it impossible to deny that this statement had an impact on her.

She smiled back at the person in her arms, lightly stroking her hair as she asked gently, “What were you waiting for me for?”

Shao Cixin closed her eyes and answered in a drowsy voice, “I was afraid you would have an accident.”

Wen Zhihan: “Hmm?”

Shao Cixin said vaguely, “Driving, drunk driving, it’s very dangerous.”

Wen Zhihan lowered her head and looked at Shao Cixin.

Shao Cixin suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and hugged Wen Zhihan tighter. “But as long as you come back safely, it’s okay. Go to sleep. Good night…”

A big worry was removed from Shao Cixin’s heart, and she peacefully fell back to sleep.

Wen Zhihan held Shao Cixin and stroked her back up and down. She stayed awake, no longer feeling any drowsiness.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Shao Cixin cared more about road safety than anyone else.

Wen Zhihan contemplated for a while as she gazed at the person sleeping peacefully in her arms. Finally, she decided not to think about the issue any further.

Paying attention to personal safety was a good thing, and she was probably overthinking it.

But tonight, she was also happy about one other thing.

—Shao Cixin took the initiative to hold her to sleep.

What was the reason for this initiative?

How long could it last?

Was it…possible between them?

The author (热到昏厥) has something to say:

Xin Xin: She called me her beautiful Mrs. Wen.

Senior Sister: She took the initiative to kiss me and hug me.
