In the Room
Wang Yifan originally wanted to do something more intimate with Zhao Lusi.
However, because the shower area on the third floor was broken, they could only hug each other and sleep.
Compared with their first night, their relationship had already progressed tremendously!
On the first day, they had been too shy to even get close to each other while sleeping in the same bed.
Now, they had to hug each other to fall asleep!
After getting an air conditioner, they no longer felt cold at night, especially the moment they slipped under the blankets.
Even the bedsheets were warm.
The two hugged each other while Zhao Lusi talked to him about her experiences in the entertainment industry.
He simply listened quietly.
At that moment, Zhao Lusi seemed to have finally found someone she could rely on.
As she talked, tears of grievance slowly rolled down her cheeks.
Wang Yifan reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Baby, it’s okay. From now on, you have me. I won’t let you be wronged anymore. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll stand up for you!”
“Really?”
“Of course. You’ve already come home to meet my parents, and you’re my wife. If I don’t protect you, then who will?”
“Brother Xiaofan!”
Zhao Lusi looked at him, her eyes sparkling.
It seemed that at that moment, the sweet and cheerful girl had returned.
Zhao Lusi continued telling him about interesting things in the entertainment industry, as well as the times she had been excluded and treated unfairly.
As she talked, she gradually became tired and eventually fell asleep in his arms.
…
Time passed quickly.
It had already been four days since Zhao Lusi came to Wang Yifan’s home.
Tomorrow would be the village’s New Year celebration, and it would also mark the beginning of a new week.
Wang Yifan’s system would refresh as well.
All he needed to do was watch short videos, and he could obtain another reward.
He was really looking forward to what kind of video he would see after midnight and what reward he would receive!
The previous day, he and Zhao Lusi had slept until noon.
After eating the lunch his mother prepared, he took Zhao Lusi for a walk around the village so she could experience the scenery of the countryside.
There were plenty of good things about their village—the scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh, and the people were quite nice.
The only problem was that things were somewhat inconvenient.
Today, they planned to see if there was anything at home they could help with and assist his parents with some chores.
Wang Yifan also wanted to see whether the house could be expanded.
After all, he had plenty of money now.
He could renovate it however he wanted!
After going outside, Wang Yifan carefully looked around.
There was a fairly large vacant piece of land behind their house.
However, that land didn’t belong to their family.
If they could acquire it, they could expand the house.
They could even build the rooftop terrace and garage he wanted.
He would discuss it with his father later and give him some money so that he could negotiate with the villagers and buy the land.
Zhao Lusi stayed by his side the entire time.
Wherever he went, she followed.
And just like that, evening quickly arrived.
After having dinner with his parents, his parents went to visit some relatives, while he and Zhao Lusi returned to the third floor.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to go.
There simply wasn’t any need anymore.
Nowadays, whenever Zhao Lusi appeared at one relative’s house, everyone else would immediately come over and ask whether she could introduce their sons to a girlfriend!
It had gotten to the point where he didn’t even dare take Zhao Lusi around to visit relatives anymore.
Sitting on the sofa on the third floor, Zhao Lusi lay down with her head resting on his lap while playing with her phone.
Ring!
Ring!
While Zhao Lusi was using her phone, it suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was a call from her assistant, she immediately answered.
“Hello, Xixi!”
“Lusi, I have some great news for you! Absolutely fantastic news!”
The girl on the other end of the phone sounded extremely excited, her voice even trembling slightly.
Zhao Lusi asked curiously, “What good news?”
“Xinghe Kuyu has agreed to terminate our contract! And they didn’t impose any conditions at all. We can finally leave Xinghe Kuyu!”
Hearing this, Zhao Lusi merely smiled slightly.
She wasn’t particularly surprised.
She had heard what Wang Yifan said that night, so she already knew that Xinghe Kuyu would eventually agree to terminate the contract.
She just hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.
When the other person noticed that Zhao Lusi wasn’t saying anything, she assumed that she was simply too happy to speak.
She quickly continued:
“How is it, Lusi? Aren’t you excited? I don’t even know why Xinghe Kuyu suddenly agreed to terminate the contract, but this is definitely good news for us!”
Zhao Lusi looked at Wang Yifan’s chin, the corners of her mouth curling upward.
“Wait, Lusi, why don’t you sound excited at all? Don’t tell me…?”
“Okay, I’ll talk to you later. I’ll come over in a couple of days and tell you everything then.”
“Alright!”
After saying that, she hung up.
She placed her phone on the sofa and immediately sat upright.
“Brother Xiaofan, it really worked out! You’re amazing!”
Zhao Lusi hugged him and laughed happily.
Wang Yifan hugged her back, placing his hands on her back.
As he smelled her fragrance and felt her warmth, his heart filled with excitement.
“Baby, if anything happens in the future, just tell me. I’ll always stand firmly by your side.”
“Mm!”
Mua!
She kissed him on the cheek and looked at him with a playful smile.
She was no longer as shy around him as she had been when they first met.
Zhao Lusi felt that Wang Yifan was not only a good person, but that he treated her incredibly well.
The contract problem that she had been unable to resolve for so long had been settled with just one phone call from him!
Even his everyday life was remarkably down-to-earth.
After living with him for these few days, she had completely accepted him.
“Baby, are you going back the day after tomorrow?”
“Mm-hmm. I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow, and I also need to take care of the contract.”
“Can’t you stay with me for a few more days?”
“Ah, I’ll come back to you after I’m finished with everything, okay? You can also use this time to get the shower on the third floor repaired. Then, next time I come…”
“Really?”
Wang Yifan looked excitedly at Zhao Lusi in his arms.
He understood exactly what she was implying.
After all, he had been turned down several times over the past few nights because the shower on the third floor was broken, leaving them nowhere to wash up afterward.
Since Zhao Lusi had said that, after taking her back the day after tomorrow, he would immediately have his father find someone to repair the shower on the third floor.
The next time she came, they would finally be able to take their relationship to the next level.
The two continued sitting on the sofa and chatting.
Before they knew it, midnight arrived.
As the clock struck twelve, the videos for the new week refreshed through the system, meaning Wang Yifan could obtain a new reward!
He hurriedly took out his phone, opened the short-video app, and…
