~Earlier~
Shu Xian and Pan An already came home from having another day at the mall. With them already confirming their relationship, both of them started to get closer than ever—starting by knowing each other's preferences.
The moment they came home yesterday night, both of them decided to sleep in separate rooms since Shu Xian suggested that she would still like to have her privacy.
Pan An had no problems about this. He also thinks the same. He wanted to have more time alone and not just commit his time mostly to Shu Xian.
He is a professor. Of course, he doesn't want his teaching performance to deteriorate. Teaching is one of his joys in life and he most especially wanted to continue his work and not jeopardize it by only focusing on their relationship.
As for Shu Xian, of course, she would like to continue and finish her education with flying colors. With her stating to Pan An that she would like to graduate and would someday like to teach and learn masters soon, Pan An respected her decisions.
He was actually surprised that Shu Xian would like to further her studies! Pan An also decided that once she graduates, he would talk to some of his connections for Shu Xian to have her teaching experience.
Of course, Pan An already suggested this to Shu Xian. And upon hearing this, Shu Xian would like to take the opportunity.
However, she was torn—thinking if she would like to wing it with her capabilities and not rely on the connections and help of Pan An.
Pan An was then again amazed once more upon listening to Shu Xian's thoughts. With him finding her more capable than what she had portrayed, Pan An then suggested that he would only help her when she asked for it, making Shu Xian accept his suggestion.
The two of them were already in the kitchen, Shu Xian cooking dinner. With Pan An already walking Wan Wan out for her potty session as well, Shu Xian found her chores lighter now that Pan An and her started to do things together.
To be honest, Shu Xian couldn't help but feel giddy. With her smiling as she was doing her own version of an onigiri with scrambled eggs, she thought and imagined that they looked like newlyweds now with how they are living together.
Shu Xian's heart raced with the thought. She was assigned to do their meals and she also does the cleaning with Pan An. With him doing his paperwork and with him helping her when it comes to taking care of Wan Wan, it's as if the dog is their child and that they are a small family.
They even do groceries together—which they did yesterday before they went home! With the employees in the mall gaping at them and appreciating their presence, most of them thought that Pan An seemed more happier now compared to when he was dating Ruo Xi.
It was as if the employees themselves had forgotten about Ruo Xi! Pan An's smile was brighter than ever and he was more handsome than ever because of the young woman's presence!
Shu Xian thought that falling in love was a devious thing—one that would be the downfall of most people especially to those who are dedicated to their goals and dreams.
However, with her experiencing it now, she thought that maybe love can be a great thing—one that can motivate the other to do great things.
Soon after, Shu Xian snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the door open. When Wan Wan quickly ran to her side to give her a nudge on the leg, Shu Xian patted her head before Wan Wan ran out of the house again, Pan An already standing by Shu Xian's side.
"Hey, love."
"Hey."
Pan An kissed Shu Xian's cheek, the young lady giggling as she felt Pan An give her a back hug by wrapping his arms around her waist. With his chin resting on top of her head, Shu Xian continued doing the onigiri.
"How's your walk? Are you hungry?"
"Walks with Wan Wan will always be great. She's a good dog," Pan An replied, giving her another kiss on the cheek. "And yes, I'm a bit hungry."
However, what he did next was something that Shu Xian didn't expect. She gasped a little when she felt his lips graze on the skin of her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
It was a mixture of heat and coolness. With Shu Xian playfully rolling her eyes, she put the first onigiri down, blocking her neck with her shoulder for Pan An not to touch.
"Oh, come on, Pan An. Let me do our dinner first. We can do anything that we want later. I'm famished!"
"Oh, anything that we want?"
Pan An grinned ear to ear, Shu Xian laughing as it was the only thing that had caught his attention.
"I was talking about food! How could you think and catch on another information when food is so important?"
"Oh, Shu Xian…"
Pan An said her name, making her gasp when he made her face him. With his hands on her hips and with their forehead against each other's, Shu Xian giggled, both of them starting at each other's eyes.
"You are important."
Pan An then placed his lips against hers. With him kissing her tenderly, Pan An accurately untied the apron around her and had set it on the floor, making her laugh against his lips.
"Come on, Pan An… pick that up."
"Okay."
Shu Xian tipped her head up as she laughed, Pan An carrying her instead. With him already making way to the couch, Pan An had made her sit on his lap, Shu Xian hitting his chest slightly as both of them felt playful.
"I was pertaining to the apron! Not me!"
"Uhuh… yes, yes…"
"Are you listening to me?"
"Indeed."
"Pan An! My hands are kinda sticky and oily because of the rice and the eggs!"
"I don't care. I won't let you touch me, anyway."
"Pan An, don't—I have to prepare dinner!"
"Hush… I'm the one going to hold you."
It's as if Shu Xian had no other choice. With her smiling against his lips, both of them kissed again for a brief moment, making Shu Xian blush with what Pan An had pointed out.
"Remember when you asked me about my kinks?"
Shu Xian remembered it as if it was yesterday. She clearly remembered Pan An tell her that one of his kinks was the woman on top of him!
It is actually the same situation that they are in now! With her also remembering the moment that they had last Friday night, Shu Xian gulped, wanting to escape from him already.
"Ugh… put me down. I have to—"
"No," Pan An interrupted, his grip on her waist harder as if having the intention to not let her go. "Stay."
And she did stay—his words his command that she should follow. With them having another passionate kiss, Shu Xian learned quickly as she reciprocated Pan An's kiss, further deepening their connection.
As their body heat was felt, Shu Xian put both of her hands on Pan An's arms, not bothered by her sticky and oily hands. With Pan An combing his hair through Shu Xian's hair, he held her head in place, further enjoying their kiss.
It's as if Shu Xian could melt in his arms every now and then. With her sighing as she felt him getting harder beneath her, she furrowed her brows in pleasure, gasping in between kisses as she felt herself getting turned on as well.
"Mmm… in the mood?"
Shu Xian nodded, Pan An grinning ear to ear as he now proceeded kissing her neck.
However… both of them froze in place when they heard the door open, followed by a familiar voice calling out to them.
"Hey, Pan An, Shu Xian," the voice called out, Shu Xian and Pan An looking at each other in horror. "I'm sorry to come in unannounced, but—"
The familiar man stopped in his tracks the moment he saw them in an awkward position. With Shu Xian's face beet red as she was unable to look, Pan An glared at the unwelcomed visitor over Shu Xian's shoulder.
"Wh-wh—what… what the hell are you two doing!?"
Pan An settled Shu Xian down slowly on the couch, now scowling at his best friend for interrupting their sweet moment.
"I could ask you! What the hell are you doing here in my house unannounced!?"
Wang Lei retorted, as if Pan An was the one in the wrong, both of them already arguing.
"You gave me a spare key!"
"I know I gave you a spare key! But that doesn't mean that you can go here unannounced!"
"Why are you doing something so inappropriate?"
"Oh, you're one to talk! You were the one doing something inappropriate—barging in my home! Of course, you'd see what we're doing! This is my house!"
Shu Xian awkwardly stood up from the couch. With her taking this opportunity to run to her room to fix herself, she did so, hurrying as if she was catching a deadline.
"E-excuse me…"
And as she fled, she now left the two alone as she wanted the ground to swallow her whole.
