It dawned on Su Shen that his previous lengthy discourse was not the main point; it was the final sentence that truly mattered.

He served two dumplings to the ever-hungry Su Li, instructing, “Remember to tell your mother that I’ll be home early this evening.” The winter solstice was as significant as the New Year to him, and he had no intention of working late. He wanted to spend the day with her.

Su Li, engrossed in his delicious meal, nodded without giving it much thought. Wasn’t he supposed to be busy? Especially on the day of the winter solstice, shouldn’t he be even busier? It wasn’t until Su Li was on his way home that he overheard a conversation in the hall.

“Do you know, our boss Su announced early this morning that we’re off at four this evening. He wants us to spend time with our wives and children. And it’s paid time off! Long live Brother Shen! Long live our sister-in-law! Long live the winter solstice!”

“So that’s why! That’s wonderful! But why are you thanking our sister-in-law?”

“Are you dense? It’s clear that our Brother Shen wants to spend time with his wife. We’re just benefiting from her good fortune. How could we not thank her?”

“That makes sense. Long live our sister-in-law!”

Su Li relayed the conversation to his mother once he arrived home, mimicking the expressions and gestures of the men, much to the amusement of Gu Zi.

However, after the laughter subsided, Gu Zi began to feel drowsy. Perhaps it was due to her missing her usual nap. She couldn’t shake off the sleepiness.

With most of her tasks completed, Gu Zi handed over the care of Lele to Su Bing and went upstairs for a nap. Lele had already woken up and wouldn’t be sleeping again for a while.

When Gu Zi woke up, she glanced at her watch. It was almost four o’clock. Su Shen should be returning soon, right?

She climbed out of bed, shivering slightly in the cold. Pulling back the curtains, she was met with a gloomy sky, giving off an ominous sense of an impending storm.

Gu Zi collected the clothes from the balcony, her thoughts drifting to Su Shen. He had been riding his motorcycle these past few days. If it started raining on his way home, he would get soaked.

She decided to check on him. She tossed the clothes onto the foot of the bed and left the bedroom.

No sooner had she reached the ground floor than the sound of pouring rain filled the air. She rushed outside with an umbrella, but the rain was heavy and the wind was strong, causing her umbrella to sway. Despite her efforts, she was still splashed with the icy rain. She couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself as she peered out into the storm.

In the midst of the rain, a dim yellow light grew from a speck to a beacon, quickly revealing itself as a motorcycle pulling up in front of the Su residence. Su Shen saw Gu Zi waiting for him, and swiftly dismounted, taking her hand and leading her towards the house. “Why are you out here?” he asked, concern lacing his voice. “The rain is heavy today, it’s cold. Let’s get inside.”

Gu Zi looked at him, drenched from head to toe, and her heart ached. She didn’t consider herself a hopeless romantic, but rather, she was simply moved by human compassion, feeling both pity and gratitude for this man.

She led Su Shen upstairs, quickly finding him a change of clothes and presenting them to him. “You should take a hot shower,” she suggested, “so you don’t catch a cold.”

Su Shen looked at her, wanting to reassure her that he wasn’t so easily susceptible to the cold. But his gaze lingered on her bare face, the curves of her body accentuated by her dark sleepwear, and he found himself suddenly parched and feverish.

He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her waist, taking the clothes from her hands and setting them at the foot of the bed. He bent down to kiss her, their lips and tongues intertwining in a dance that quickly spiraled out of control.

Each thrust of his tongue carried an insatiable desire, sweeping through her mouth, deeply savoring her breath. Gu Zi responded with equal fervor, her mind filled with the image of his muscular torso outlined by his soaked shirt.

“Mmm…” She moaned as his warm hand cupped her breast, his tongue plunging deeper into her throat. A wave of desire washed over her, making it almost impossible to breathe, her heart pounding in response.

After a while, the man released her, his voice husky as he chuckled, “I’ll go take that shower now.” He picked up the clothes at the foot of the bed and turned towards the bathroom.

Gu Zi sat on the edge of the bed, watching his retreating figure. His soaked clothes clung to his body, revealing his muscular waist. She gulped.

He was just too attractive. This man, who was already a walking hormone on a normal day, was now drenched and had just kissed her with such dominance. His hot, wet tongue was like a blazing flame, igniting a fire within her. She could still feel the wetness between her legs, and her cheeks flushed at the thought of him.

Su Shen quickly emerged from the shower, wearing only his shirt. Gu Zi looked up just in time to see him striding out, completely bare from the waist down. She thought to herself, ‘How could this man be so shameless?’
