Yan Kexing stood at the door for a moment, then reminded him, "Open the window a crack, don't stay inside too long."

Shi Wen, "Oh, okay."

After answering, Shi Wen stayed inside for another ten minutes or so before coming out dressed neatly.

He was dressed in a casual yet high-end designer suit, his collarbone slightly exposed, his waist cinched tightly, making his legs appear exceptionally long. When he walked out like that, it seemed as if he had stepped directly out of a fashion show.

Yan Kexing sat on the sofa and glanced up at the first thing; his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Shi Wen smiled at him, her lips red and teeth white, radiating charm.

Shi Wen walked up to Yan Kexing, carrying a faint, elegant perfume scent as she moved.

Yan Kexing gripped his waist with both hands, seemingly to prevent him from tripping, yet also to keep him from straying too far, and said in a low, restrained voice, "This perfume suits you very well."

"I usually work on the ranch, so I need to tidy up for the New Year." Shi Wen turned her head, leaned slightly closer to Yan Kexing, and smiled. "Am I prettier than the models?"

"You..." Yan Kexing realized his throat was a little dry after saying that word, paused slightly, and continued, "No matter who the model is, you'll always look the best."

Shi Wen chuckled and said softly, "Even the professors at Yenching University don't have much creativity when it comes to praising people."

"But it's sincere enough, isn't it?" Yan Kexing's gaze fell on his moist lips, his voice hoarse, "I'm going to take a shower."

Shi Wen did not reply to any New Year's greetings today.

He waited in the room, silently calculating the time, and then realized that Yan Kexing's shower time was shorter than usual today.

Yan Kexing also came out dressed in formal attire today.

Perhaps because his hair wasn't dry enough, Yan Kexing's neck was still slightly damp.

Shi Wen stood up, walked towards him, reached out and grabbed his collar, then bent down and gently licked his neck, muttering a complaint, "It smells a bit like shampoo, and it's bitter."

Yan Kexing felt a moist tongue brush against his Adam's apple, and his pupils immediately changed color. He pressed down on Shi Wen's nape, not letting him leave. "Bitter? Let me taste it."

The two kissed.

Yan Kexing's hand touched Shi Wen's abdomen, and then further down, the sensation felt a little off.

Shi Wen pressed on his shoulder, her voice slightly breathless, and said, "A fitted designer suit doesn't look good with boxer briefs."

Yan Kexing's voice was low. "So it's... a thong?"

Shi Wen's neck arched gracefully as she breathed heavily and chuckled, "Yeah. No—there's something in the closet..."

The last word was bitten between Shi Wen's snow-white teeth, and then gently spat out into Yan Kexing's ear.

Yan Kexing, holding the person, opened the wardrobe.

The items inside the wardrobe were exposed.

Yan Kexing tore off the outer packaging with one hand, took out the items inside with his slender fingers, and stuffed them Shi Wen's teeth. "Hold it in your mouth, I'll use it."

Shi Wen carrying the related supplies, and I see them being used on myself one by one, and I can't say a word.

It was a chaotic night.

Professor Yan was gentle and refined. She received many New Year's greetings on her phone, but after 7:30 p. m., she did not reply to any of them.

This is the first time in a year since instant messaging was invented that he hasn't replied to any messages for an extended period.

The ranch is absolutely huge.

Apart from the two of them, everyone else here was an animal.

In this situation, certain voices need not be heeded.

Shi Wen had never imagined that there could be such an exhilarating sport among humans, a sport that resembled both human and animal movements.

Yan Kexing very meticulous and eager to learn; he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

He experienced none of the legendary pain, being unable to get out of bed, or needing to recuperate; instead, he had an experience that made his very soul tremble.

Before the Lunar New Year, he was a very hardworking and ambitious rancher.

After more than a week of celebrating the Lunar New Year, he suddenly felt that striving wasn't so necessary.

I wish that "the emperor would never hold court again."

However, the joyful time during the Lunar New Year is always too short.

Yang Yiqing and the others returned on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Not only did people return, but everyone brought large and small bags of local specialties for Shi Wen and Yan Kexing.

Yan Kexing refused to accept gifts from his students, so they insisted on giving them to Shi Wen, emphasizing that his family had asked him to bring them and that his family really liked the mutton Shi Wen sent.

For their first meal together of the new year, Shi Wen invited them to eat at the ranch.

That day, a large goose was slaughtered and made into braised goose to treat everyone.

Yan Kexing's cooking skills are always top-notch, and Shi Wen's goose is delicious enough.

After everyone finished eating the goose, they were so full they could barely move.

After a satisfying meal, everyone prepared to rest before driving back to their accommodations.

Shi Wen remembered this and said to Yang Yiqing, "During the Spring Festival, Yan Kexing and I discussed it and decided to rent a house in the village. Yiqing, would it be alright if you stayed there?"

Yang Yiqing: "Are you renting a house for me separately?"

Shi Wen nodded. "It's not very convenient for young men and women to live together. It would be better if you went there. The house is near Brother Fu's house. I've asked them to look after you, so your safety should be relatively guaranteed."

Yang Yiqing had no objections to the accommodations, but she was a little dazed. Ge Yue, who was beside her, tugged at her hand, and she quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Shi."

Shi Wen said, "You're welcome. I'm sure you'll have a hard year ahead of you."

After dinner, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing each gave them a red envelope as a start to the workday.

Both of them sent large red envelopes containing 6,000 yuan.

Shi Wen have good news. After the New Year, their energy and spirit are different, and they are especially generous in giving red envelopes to Yan Kexing's close students.

Ge Yue, holding two large red envelopes, exclaimed, "Teacher, Brother Shi, you are truly my elders! These red envelopes are so generous! I wish you a long and happy marriage!"

Yan Kexing nodded. "Study hard, write your thesis diligently, and graduate as soon as possible."
