His eyes were flushed from crying, his cheeks were as pink as peaches, and his exposed skin was as white as snow. He nestled obediently and softly in Xie Linchuan's arms, just like a beautiful and delicate kitten.
His appearance made Xie Linchuan's throat go dry again.
Xie Linchuan carried the person to bed, then tucked them in. Looking at the person who was lost in thought, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Xingcan shifted his body, turned to look at Xie Linchuan, and said in a low voice, "When I think about what might actually happen in the future, will I still be alive?"
Xie Linchuan chuckled, and kissed Shen Xingcan's reddened eyes. "... Of course."
Shen Xingcan said expressionlessly, "Really not? I think so."
His handsome little face, with its cold expression, was so adorable that Xie Linchuan kissed him again. "If you can't stand Little Star, you can tell me."
Shen Xingcan was not appreciative; instead, she was furious at those words: "I don't believe you! I just said that!"
Xie Linchuan in surprise, "Did Little Star really say that? Then why didn't I hear it?"
Shen Xingcan retorted angrily, "I did, and you clearly heard me!"
If he hadn't heard it, he wouldn't have been kissed again the next second.
Ugh, that despicable Xie Linchuan not only pretends to be deaf and dumb, but he also dares to distort the truth!
An angry Shen Xingcan tried to break free from Xie Linchuan's embrace, but was held back tightly.
Xie Linchuan coaxed him, "What did Little Star say back then? Let me think."
Shen Xingcan looked coldly at Xie Linchuan: "I said, stop!!"
He wanted to see how Xie Linchuan.
Xie Linchuan was surprised. "Then it seems I misunderstood."
Shen Xingcan: "What did you think it was?"
Xie Linchuan's eyes crinkled with amusement. "I thought Little Star meant... Xie Linchuan, I don't want you to stop."
Shen Xingcan, who didn't want Xie Linchuan to stop. "..."
Shen Xingcan's gaze began to wander across the bed, trying to find a convenient weapon to deliver a fatal blow to Xie Linchuan.
Ultimately, he chose a pillow as his murder weapon.
Shen Xingcan grinned menacingly at Xie Linchuan: "Die, you bastard Xie Linchuan!"
Pillows flew everywhere, and toys were thrown from the bed onto the carpet.
After Xie Linchuan a good beating with a pillow, Shen Xingcan still wasn't satisfied, so he changed into a cute cream-colored duck-themed pajama set.
Xie Linchuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at Shen Xingcan, who was wearing duck-patterned pajamas. "Are you trying to kill me with cuteness?"
Shen Xingcan gave Xie Linchuan the middle finger, then took out her phone and started a video call with Qin Su.
There's an eight-hour time difference between France and China. If he called at this time, according to Qin Su's lifestyle, she should already be up and starting her morning exercise.
The video call only rang twice before Qin Su quickly answered it.
Across from her, Qin Su was dressed in sportswear, clearly exercising, just as Shen Xingcan had guessed.
As soon as the video call connected, Shen Xingcan couldn't wait to speak, "Mom, I miss you so much."
His voice was sweet, like it was sweetened with honey.
Qin Su: "Mom misses Can Cancan too. How about Mom goes to France to see you this weekend?"
Shen Xingcan said obediently, "Mom, don't go back and forth so much, it's tiring. I can go back to China after the show is finished."
"That's fine too. When you come back to China, Mom will set aside a few days to spend some quality time with you. Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Canbao?"
Shen Xingcan: "I want to go to the amusement park and the zoo with my mom!!"
Qin Su's eyes were full of affection. "Alright, then let's go to these two places. It must be the middle of the night for you, right? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Xingcan said softly, "I was about to sleep, but I suddenly missed my mom, so I video-called her."
Qin Su's voice softened even more. "My sweetheart, Mommy misses you too."
The mother and son looked at each other through the screen, and gradually their eyes reddened.
Xie Linchuan: "..."
Tsk.
Shen Xingcan sniffed. "Mom, the grapes here are especially sweet this year. I've already had the housekeeper send them back to China, so you'll receive them soon."
Qin Su: "Okay, okay, thank you for the grapes, Canbao. Mommy will definitely try them."
Shen Xingcan rolled her eyes and then asked, "Mom, do you know what kind of soup can soothe the nerves and nourish the brain?"
"You want a calming and brain-boosting soup? What's wrong with Cancan? Is she having trouble sleeping?"
Shen Xingcan: "I'm fine. The soup is for Brother Linchuan."
Qin Su replied without hesitation, "Just give him two walnuts, there's no need for all that trouble. What kind of person is he that he deserves our Canbao to make soup for him?"
Shen Xingcan smiled and said, "It still needs to be stewed. Lately, he often doesn't hear what I say. I have to ask him several times before he replies. He must be under too much pressure to be like this..."
Halfway through her speech, Shen Xingcan involuntarily paused for a moment.
Because of a hand...
That hand was particularly wicked, sliding upwards until it finally stopped somewhere.
Shen Xingcan's smile froze for a moment. He really wanted to throw the groping hand out of his clothes, but because he was on a video call and afraid that Qin Su would notice something was wrong, he could only endure it silently.
Upon hearing Shen Xingcan's words, Qin Su immediately became furious. "What pressure does he have? I think he's just asking for trouble! Wait until Mom scolds him."
She clearly loves her little darling, but she pretends every day. Does Xie Linchuan think he's a primary school student?!
Shen Xingcan said sensibly, "... Mom, please don't scold him... He probably didn't ignore me on purpose, nor did he pretend... not to hear me."
As Shen Xingcan spoke, that hand seemed to move further and further away.
The strange sight before her forced Shen Xingcan to be on high alert to maintain her composure.
Qin Su: "Baby, you don't need to speak up for that bastard Xie Linchuan. He came from Mommy's tummy, do you think Mommy doesn't know what kind of person he is? Be good, baby, don't be upset, Mommy will call him and give him a piece of her mind right now."
Shen Xingcan stopped her, saying, "No... Mom, Brother Linchuan definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Qin Su was even angrier. "He did it on purpose! Cancan, don't defend him. I'm calling him right now and yelling at him. Bye-bye Canbao. Mommy's waiting for you back home."
Shen Xingcan: "Bye-bye, Mom..."
"Hmm..."
The moment the video call ended, Shen Xingcan was kissed on the lips.
"Mix..."
Xie Linchuan's phone, which was on the small table, started to vibrate.
"Mother..."
The phone screen lit up and then went off after a long time.
But soon, the phone started vibrating again.
Answer the phone...
Xie Linchuan seemed to enjoy seeing Shen Xingcan unable to finish her sentences. He would deliberately let Shen Xingcan say a few words before kissing Shen Xingcan tightly.
Their breaths mingled, and Shen Xingcan's nostrils were filled with the cool, sandalwood scent emanating from Xie Linchuan.
After the phone rang countless times, Xie Linchuan finally released Shen Xingcan.
He remained in a position where he was half-pressed on Shen Xingcan.
He answered the phone with one hand, but rudely placed the other hand where it shouldn't have.
"Hello, Mom, is there something you need on the phone?"
Just as Shen Xingcan was about to fly into a rage over being touched on the buttocks, she saw Xie Linchuan answer the phone and immediately fell silent.
He silently tried to remove that hand.
But it didn't work out. In the end, that hand broke through the two shackles and successfully opened up to Shen Xingcan.
Xie Linchuan glanced at the beautiful cat silently working hard beneath him and chuckled softly.
The next second, he pinched the soft mass in his palm hard.
He then mouthed to Shen Xingcan, enunciating each word clearly, "Baby's so perky."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
Ugh, you pervert!
Qin Su cut to the chase. " Xie Linchuan, are you a primary school student?"
"Huh? When did I become a primary school student?"
Qin Su: "Aren't those kinds of childish scenarios, like deliberately making you angry because you like someone, enough for elementary school students? Xie Linchuan, you're a mature adult already."
Xie Linchuan: " Shen Xingcan complained to you again."
Qin Su lied without batting an eye. "No, do you think Canbao is as childish as you? Canbao did video call me, but he asked how to make a calming soup. He's planning to make it for you! He said you haven't been able to hear him lately. Look at Canbao, and then look at yourself!"
Xie Linchuan: "... Tsk."
"You dare to tsk?"
Xie Linchuan: "... Is stewing soup the main point? The main point is that we can't hear him speak. Don't tell me you didn't see through Shen Xingcan's Evil Ragdoll Cat's sinister intentions."
Qin Su replied without hesitation, "Can Can is such a kind and adorable Canbao, how could she have any malicious intentions? Besides, Canbao isn't some Evil Ragdoll Cat; she's a kind Ragdoll cat."
Xie Linchuan: "..."
He calmly retorted to his mother, "Ms. Qin Su, aren't you being a little too biased towards your youngest son?"
Qin Su ignored her eldest son's sarcasm and warned him bluntly, "In short, Xie Linchuan, you are not allowed to bully Xingcan, and you are not allowed to act like a primary school student and ignore people!"
Xie Linchuan: "... Okay."
After the call ended.
Shen Xingcan immediately burst into arrogant laughter. "Got scolded by Mom, didn't you Xie Linchuan, you deserve it, haha! No one can escape unscathed after angering Shen Xingcan!"
He was arrogant and gloating.
Xie Linchuan looked at the arrogant and unrestrained person beneath him and smiled.
Shen Xingcan, who was frantically mocking Xie Linchuan, felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her heart when she saw Xie Linchuan's smile.
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Linchuan did not answer Shen Xingcan's question, but instead showed what he was going to do through his actions.
Xie Linchuan picked up Shen Xingcan and, before Shen Xingcan could even figure out what was going on, he had already pinned her to his lap. Soon, Shen Xingcan's pants and underwear were completely stripped off.
Before Shen Xingcan could protest, the crisp sound echoed in the quiet room.
Shen Xingcan was stunned at first, then struggled violently. " Xie Linchuan bastard, you son of a bitch, let me go!"
Once released, Shen Xingcan immediately pulled up her pants and then charged aggressively towards Xie Linchuan.
The moment she lunged forward, Shen Xingcan realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
So Shen Xingcan took three showers that night.
He was so exhausted that he fell asleep when he was finally carried out of the bathroom.
