Shi Yan was big, and so were his hands

Seeing this, Li Yi took a fresh plate, intending to serve some food and bring it to the staff.

Lu Xingluo, who had been secretly watching him, took a plate as well.

When Li Yi served himself some food, she did the same. Just as he finished and was about to carry it over, she suddenly bumped into him.

"Ow!"

Clatter.

It was the sound of a plate being knocked to the floor.

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow with casual disdain. "Miss Lu, if you're that frail, do you need me to call an ambulance?"

Looking at the plate on the floor and the slightly surprised Li Yi standing beside Shi Yan, Lu Xingluo secretly gritted her teeth. "Sorry.

"I just saw that the staff only had instant noodles while we still had so much food. I was so eager to bring them some that I didn't notice anyone in my way."

"Really?" Shi Yan's lips curved slightly. "But it looked to me like you were heading straight this way."

"You saw wrong." Smiling, Lu Xingluo pointed to the grease stains on her clothes. "Look, even my clothes got dirty. I'll have to get styled all over again later. Why would I deliberately cause myself so much trouble?"

"Oh, then let's say I saw wrong." Shi Yan brushed it off.

"..."

Only after Lu Xingluo left did Li Yi thank Shi Yan. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. This sister of yours isn't very friendly to you. You..."

As he spoke, his gaze settled on Li Yi's chest. Li Yi's white shirt easily turned transparent when wet. When he had pulled him aside earlier, he might have caused some soup to spill onto it. Now there was a wet patch across his chest.

"Did you bring a change of clothes?"

Following his gaze, Li Yi saw the spot on his chest and immediately raised his plate to cover it. The tips of his ears reddened slightly as he whispered furtively, "No. What should I do?"

"Wear mine. I usually keep a spare set in my car. Wait for me in the restroom, and I'll bring it over."

"Okay."

Inside the men's restroom at the nursing home.

Li Yi took off his shirt and washed it under the faucet. Fresh grease stains were easy to wash out; a little scrubbing with hand soap got it clean.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the restroom door.

Then the door was pushed open.

Shi Yan walked in with a clean white shirt. "I brought the shirt. It might be a little big..."

The young man's upper body was bare, his skin fair, smooth, and silky, giving him an air of clarity and cleanliness.

The eighteen-year-old wasn't scrawny. A light layer of beautiful muscle covered his long, slender body. The lines of his waist and abdomen were particularly captivating, and his slim waist made one want to wrap a hand around it.

Li Yi took the shirt from him and held it against himself. "It really is a little big, but it should be fine if I tuck it into my pants."

"Mm, try it on." Shi Yan turned his head slightly aside, his voice suddenly a little low and husky.

Hearing the odd sound of his voice, Li Yi somehow felt a little reluctant to get dressed in front of him.

He silently turned around and put the shirt on.

It really was big, hanging loosely around him.

The fabric felt strange against his body, as though it had been baked in sunlight, warming his chest until it felt hot.

There was also a familiar fragrance on it.

Li Yi secretly lifted a sleeve and sniffed it.

It was the perfume Shi Yan usually wore.

It felt as though he were surrounded by Shi Yan's scent. It was rather awkward.

"I'm changed. Thank you."

At that, Shi Yan looked back, and his heart thumped the moment his gaze landed on him.

Seeing someone else wearing his clothes was a curious feeling.

It was like drawing that person into his own circle of protection.

There was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"We can go now." Li Yi walked to the sink and picked up his own shirt, ready to leave.

"Your sleeve's come loose." Shi Yan had been silent until now, but suddenly caught his arm to roll up his sleeve for him.

"I can do it myself."

The sleeve was too big. Li Yi adjusted it, but it came loose. Undeterred, he prepared to try again.

A soft chuckle came from above his head, followed by a pair of hands drawing his arm over. "Let me do it."

Shi Yan was big, and so were his hands, but they were dexterous. In just a few movements, he rolled Li Yi's sleeve up to his elbow.

Li Yi shook his arm. It stayed firmly in place.

"Let's go."

After the two left, a restroom stall door opened.

Su Xia emerged and pounded his legs, which had gone numb from squatting.

His eyes, however, gleamed with gossip.

President Shi really does treat young Li Yi differently!

Rumor had it that he was a clean freak. An actress hoping to use him to get ahead had climbed into his car, trying to spark a scandal.

He had thrown her out on the spot and even given away the luxury car, which was worth tens of millions.

Just because the actress had sat in it once, he had considered the car dirty.

Yet now he had given Li Yi his own clothes to wear and even rolled up his sleeves himself.

With such different treatment, there had to be something special about their relationship.

Su Xia finally understood how those shippers felt when they saw him interacting with other male celebrities.

Was this what it felt like to enjoy a ship's sweet moments?

So sweet~

When they returned to the cafeteria, everyone immediately looked their way.

Qiao Qianqian grinned. "Li Yi, why did you change? That shirt looks so big, like you're wearing your boyfriend's uniform."

Cheng Qing corrected her. "Shouldn't that be girlfriend?"

Qiao Qianqian let out an "Ah." "No, a girlfriend wouldn't have clothes that big."

Cheng Qing said, "But boyfriend isn't right, is it?"

Li Yi: "..."

While they were busily discussing it, a staff member ran over. "Everyone's finished eating, right? The director wants everyone in the activity room to get ready for this afternoon's activities."

Li Yi looked at Shi Yan beside him. "Have you had enough to eat?"

"Yes. Let's go."

Once they reached the activity room, Director Sen held up his portable microphone and said, "This afternoon's activities will take place indoors.

"We have six guests, and we'll invite six seniors to play the game with us.

"The game is called Radish Squat.

"But this time, we need to make it harder.

"Please each choose a four-character nickname for yourselves.

"This game tests your reactions. You'll need to remember not only your own nickname, but everyone else's too.

"You also have to say the whole thing: 'So-and-so squats, so-and-so finishes squatting, then so-and-so squats.'

"If you get a name wrong or say the wrong words, you're out."

After explaining, he looked at the seniors. "Grandpas and grandmas, please choose six representatives to play with us."

The nursing home's seniors quickly chose six representatives: Grandpa Wang Song, Grandpa Pei Ling, Grandma Yun Ruoyi, Grandma Wang Lin, Grandpa Zhang Jin, and Grandpa Xu Hong.

The twelve of them stood in a single row, alternating between the two groups.

Holding his portable microphone, Director Sen reminded them, "When you choose your nicknames, it's best to include an animal. Don't make them too difficult, or the grandpas and grandmas won't remember them.

"Four characters, with an animal?" Su Xia's eyes lit up as he stood near the front of the line. "I know what I'm going to call myself!"
