"When winter break comes, I'll drive you home, and get to know your family."

After buying the car, Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan prepared to leave.

"Honey, my brother and sister say they want to meet you."

"Really? I'll meet them then!"

Xu Lin patted Ning Yuhuan's little head. Ning Yuhuan was not an only child; she also had a pair of younger twin siblings, just over four years old this year, from a rural family. In farming culture, there's a strong obsession with having sons. Even nowadays, without sons, it's easy to be bullied in rural areas.

City folks might have an idealized view of rural life, thinking it's the idyllic life described in books. In reality, it's not so simple. Beautiful pastoral life and treacherous places coexist; wherever there are people, there are complexities, an age-old truth.

Ning Yuhuan's family is considered outsiders in the village. Her village has only two major surnames, Huang and Li. Her family is the only one with the surname Ning. Originally, her grandfather moved there, and had only two sons, Ning Yuhuan's father and uncle. Now their family across three generations is just a dozen people. With the current stable society, had this been several decades ago, their situation would have easily led to bullying due to the sparse family size and being outsiders among local families with hundreds of relatives.

At ten in the evening, the two returned home.

Ning Yuhuan hadn't visited here for a week. Xu Lin had been working here all week, so it became a bit messy. Xu Lin hadn't cleaned yet, so Ning Yuhuan spent over half an hour tidying up the place, making it spotless.

And Xu Lin?

Just after coming back, he stopped by the station to pick up a package, which was the outfit he'd previously bought for Ning Yuhuan.

He opened all the clothes now.

"Senior, put on this outfit first!"

Xu Lin took out Mai Shiranui's outfit, imagining Ning Yuhuan with a high ponytail wearing it would be quite striking.

Seeing the outfit, Ning Yuhuan's face turned red instantly, and she gave him a slight glare.

"Finished tidying?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"Yes."

"Senior, hurry and change clothes." Xu Lin was impatient.

"Don't look yet, I'll go change clothes first."

"Okay, hurry up."

"Such a haste!"

Ning Yuhuan was helpless, blushing. She took the clothes and went into the guest room, undressing her own clothes and mustering up the courage to put on the Mai Shiranui outfit.

A normal Mai Shiranui outfit is already revealing, let alone the risqué version.

Ning Yuhuan had never seen such clothes before, she couldn't describe the feeling. For instance, the chest only covered part of it, not just exposing the V-shaped area, but also revealing much from the sides.

And the pants?

No pants, the underwear was not even a strip, it was almost just a string, even a thong has more material than this.

"What kind of clothes are these?"

Ning Yuhuan couldn't hold back, but remembered Xu Lin's happiness today and that she had promised him before to wear this outfit.

So, Ning Yuhuan bravely put it on.

Finally, she bit her lip, pressed her red lips together, and walked out of the guest room, entering the master bedroom with a nervous heart.

As soon as Ning Yuhuan stepped into the bedroom, Xu Lin pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Xu Lin was already undressed, waiting for Ning Yuhuan to come in.

Seeing Ning Yuhuan in the Mai Shiranui outfit, Xu Lin's eyes lit up.

"Senior, you look stunning."

Xu Lin smiled.

"Just this once!"

Ning Yuhuan was blushing so much, even her neck turned red. This outfit was utterly shameful, making her feel extremely uncomfortable; it was her first time wearing something so revealing.

"Alright, alright, just this once."

Xu Lin thought that some things have either zero times or countless times.

If there's a first, why worry about no next time?

The two stayed up late that night; Xu Lin was robust, full of energy, and he hadn't been with Ning Yuhuan or Rong Xiyi in the past week due to being busy with music.

Meaning, Xu Lin had held back for a week, so Ning Yuhuan had much to endure that night.

The next morning, Ning Yuhuan's eyes were still red, clearly having been bullied by Xu Lin quite a bit last night.

Ning Yuhuan was sensitive, prone to tears, unlike Rong Xiyi who had only cried twice despite being with Xu Lin for so long.

Time slipped into December, Xu Lin rode the electric bike with Ning Yuhuan to school, facing a cold wind with a hint of chilly dew in the air.

"Are you cold?"

Xu Lin asked as he waited at the traffic light.

"Not cold."

Ning Yuhuan shook her head, but Xu Lin noticed her ears were red.

Today, Ning Yuhuan wore a high ponytail.

"You still say not cold, your ears are red, let your hair down, it'll be better."

Xu Lin had Ning Yuhuan let down her hair.

"You too, honey, I'll help!"

Ning Yuhuan stretched out her hands, covering Xu Lin's ears with her palms to keep them warm, but not tightly enough to interfere with hearing.

Xu Lin said, "The weather forecast says it will get colder in a few days."

"Make sure to dress warmly these days."

Ning Yuhuan advised, unable to resist saying, "You always wear just two pieces, prone to catching cold, caring more about style than warmth!"

"I'm strong and fit!"

"You say that, but no matter how fit, you're still human, not a god!" Ning Yuhuan chided.

Xu Lin didn't take it too seriously, but didn't argue, as Ning Yuhuan cared for him like a mother, truly attentive.

"Hold tight, the light's turning green."

"Mm-mm!"
