"We'll talk about the details when you return. If there's no unexpected situation, it's best to leave in the afternoon, so the other party won't catch wind and retreat."

"Got it."

"Hey, stop sleeping!"

"Got it, ten more minutes."

"Hey, you..."

'Beep beep beep beep.'

After hanging up, Xiaofan still hadn't let go of Shen Zuimo's hand. The feeling of those snow-white, slender fingers in his palm was genuinely comforting.

"Have you touched enough yet?"

"I can never touch enough in a lifetime."

'Swish.'

Shen Zuimo jerked her hand back, coldly asking, "What do you want to do?"

"You can keep lying down, I'm going out to buy a toothbrush..."

With that said, Xiaofan reluctantly climbed out of bed. Their clothes hadn't been changed, indicating the two had slept in their clothes last night, so he wasn't entirely indecent.

"Give me ten minutes. Sleep for as long as you can."

Xiaofan quickly shook off his sleepiness and swiftly opened the door to go out. Soon, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard outside the window.

Shen Zuimo gently furrowed her brow. Ten minutes? Then I'll wait for you ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, Xiaofan drove back to the house. That was the fastest he could go.

Slippers prepared for her, and she might only wear them once.

The newly bought mugs and toothbrushes, in a couple's set, looked particularly cozy on the sink. Two mugs, half a heart, together they just perfectly formed a heart shape. The toothbrushes were of the same style, one red, one green.

Then, while Shen Zuimo was brushing her teeth, Xiaofan barged in again, not considering Shen Zuimo's feelings at all. He squeezed the toothpaste and started brushing.

Shen Zuimo glared again, threw over another sanitary eye, and after brushing, used a new handkerchief to wash her face, realizing that even the handkerchiefs were matching sets.

This was a glimpse of young people showing off their love, and such a scene seemed quite childish to Shen Zuimo.

"Are there no bathrooms in other rooms? Why do you have to squeeze in here?"

"Don't you think this is just like a pair of newlyweds, getting up in the morning to brush their teeth and wash their face together, fighting over the bathroom, then having breakfast and heading out to work together, hehe..." Xiaofan grinned, moving over to the toilet, opened the zipper and then...

Wait... this doesn't seem right? Even if Shen Zuimo wouldn't stop you from squeezing into a bathroom with her, doing something so indecent right in front of her is definitely inappropriate.

Suddenly, as Xiaofan was about to unzip his pants, he felt a cold chill coming from behind him, the killing qi abruptly flooded the bathroom.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Take it out, take it out. Let's see if my knife hits it, if it really wouldn't bleed, if your other skin is as thick as your face skin."

"Oh dear, you scared me! If it doesn't grow back later, it'll be you who's crying..." Such a joke shouldn't continue. Shen Zuimo's killing qi was real. However, this guy still dared to toss out a joke about it when walking out of the bathroom, leaving Shen Zuimo's face alternately red and white in annoyance.

Staying with this guy for a long time, really, won't you die young? Seriously could anger someone to death.

With a lot of anger, Shen Zuimo walked out of the bathroom, yet the breakfast on the table, still steaming, suddenly softened her heart.

"Well, I just went to a few stores to find this brand of breakfast. You used to love having oatmeal porridge for breakfast, especially from this chain store."

Turns out, when he said wait for him ten minutes, and came back in fifteen, it was to buy this.

Is it thoughtful or just a wasted effort?

As usual, Shen Zuimo quietly sat down, slowly eating. Then she noticed this guy didn't seem to have any intention of eating. She slightly raised her head, seeing him intently watching her, and tossed over another sanitary eye.

"Oh, you're even charming when you're angry..."

"Ye Xiaofan..."

"Alright, alright, eat, eat, eat, eat and then let's go back to work."

Work? Treating the Yanhuang Soul business as a job? Such a comparison is heard for the first time. However, this job requires risking one's life.

Originally, Shen Zuimo wanted to change back to her original clothes and shoes, but Xiaofan stubbornly packed away her clothes and shoes that she came in and didn't let her touch them.

"These clothes will be sent to the dry cleaners. You can wear them again next time you come. There's no time, let's go. If we're late back, Grandpa Fan will be mad."

Thus, Shen Zuimo ended up wearing the red long skirt, stepping into the high heels, sitting in the car. Going back dressed like this? Wouldn't it be too eye-catching? But after all, it's just clothes, wearing them a bit longer doesn't matter much.

The car sped along the road, Shen Zuimo kept looking at the scenery along the city's streets. The events of yesterday made her somewhat nostalgic. But, she couldn't grasp the beautiful scenery tightly.

"Zuimo..."

"..."

"Were you satisfied with yesterday? I want to hear your true thoughts."

"...It was alright. Quite good."

Four words — not much, but Xiaofan already got the satisfactory answer he wanted.

"Actually, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself, nor do you need to keep Red Butterfly in your heart. It's just an organization. You are now Shen Zuimo, not nightingale."

"What are you saying?"

"Yesterday's life, is it what you want? I can understand it that way. Things will come to a resolution someday, and when that day comes, I hope you can set aside all your burdens and live the life you desire happily, just like yesterday, with someone accompanying you shopping, dining, squeezing into the bathroom in the morning. There's a man who loves you dearly. Whether that man by your side in the future is me or not, everything will get better."

These words should summarize everything that happened from yesterday till this morning. Shen Zuimo seemed to understand, but couldn't fully grasp.

If, in her heart, Shen Zuimo was thinking if such a day truly arrives, who will be beside her? If it's not him, Ye Xiaofan, then who?

Too naive? The burden in her heart is Red Butterfly. To let go of the burden, unless Red Butterfly is erased from the world. But the ten-plus years with Red Butterfly made Shen Zuimo aware of the organization's evil and strength. One person's power can't possibly fight against it, so his words are just offering her some fantasy, unless...

No, could he mean he's planning to fight against Red Butterfly? Thinking of this, Shen Zuimo couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaofan with a hint of surprise. Could he really have that intention? Simply crazy.
