After hearing Huo Xunzhou’s words, Lin Shanchu nodded and stared intently at him with her clear eyes, as if she had something to say.

“What do you want to ask?” Huo Xunzhou bent down slightly, leaned over and

touched her forehead affectionately.

Lin Shanchu sat up straight and asked seriously, “Were your injuries serious at that time?”

More than a year had passed, and he looked no different from a normal person.

At that time, Huo Xunzhou was so popular that both domestic and foreign media reported his car accident.

In those few days, Huo Xunzhou’s car accident was all over the news.

It was hard for Lin Shanchu not to see the news.

She neither knew Huo Xunzhou nor had any interactions with him back then, but still she felt sorry for him.

He was the young Best Actor that countless people dreamed of.

It would be a pity if he were to die young like this.

The photos of the car accident scene looked very horrifying, so no one was surprised when the news of Huo Xunzhou being paralyzed spread.

“I was lucky.” Huo Xunzhou said casually, “It’s just a few stitches and a minor fracture, so I recovered quickly.”

Indeed, a few stitches and bone fractures were not serious compared to the paralysis.

However, a few stitches and a fracture were not considered minor injuries for a normal person,

Lin Shanchu leaned forward and plunged into his arms.

“I’m really fine,” Huo Xunzhou comforted her in a low voice while hugging her.

“Then, you pretended to be disabled to make Huo Zhuxiu lower his guard?” Lin Shanchu asked in a muffled voice as she leaned into his embrace.

“Yes.”

Huo Xunzhou was really patient.

He was not exposed after pretending to be disabled for such a long time.

The two of them quietly hugged each other for a while until Yun Wu fell to the ground with a thud in her sleep. Only then did they remember that Yun Wu was still present.

When Huo Xunzhou saw Yun Wu let go of his hand, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then carefully moved his legs away.

“I’ll leave Yun Wu to you, Shanshan,” he said with a serious expression only after he was sure that he was keeping a safe distance from Yun Wu.

“Alright.” Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and smiled.

Lin Shanchu had already sobered up after taking a shower just now.

When she helped Yun Wu to the guest room, Yun Wu made a fuss about taking a bath.

She could not even stand properly, yet she still insisted on washing herself.

Lin Shanchu turned on the water and stood by the side to watch Yun Wu take a bath as she worried that Yun Wu would slip into the bathtub and drown herself.

After taking a bath, Yun Wu stumbled and changed into the pajamas, Only then did Lin Shanchu close the door and leave.

She pushed open the door to her bedroom and saw Huo Xunzhou in a bathrobe leaning against the headboard, looking at his phone.

Huo Xunzhou looked over upon hearing the commotion.

“Is Yun Wu asleep?

“Yes.”

Lin Shanchu trotted to the side of the bed and squinted at him. “Teacher Huo, you’re getting more and more adept at climbing into my bed.” Huo Xunzhou put his phone aside and reached out to pull her over.

“I can’t help it. My girlfriend is too cute.”

Lin Shanchu bit his neck.

She could feel Huo Xunzhou tensed up as his entire body stiffened.

Lin Shanchu looked up at him with brightened eyes.

Huo Xunzhou’s face darkened as he covered her eyes and said without any rhyme or reason, “It’s New Year’s Eve the day after tomorrow.” “Hmm?” Lin Shanchu did not understand why he suddenly said this.

“I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

“So I don’t have time tonight.”

“Don’t have time?”

Lin Shanchu could not keep up with his train of thought and subconsciously repeated herself.

Before she could think about it, Huo Xunzhou had already dragged her aside and stuffed her under the blanket.

“Sleep.”

Huo Xunzhou turned off the lights after finished speaking.

He pulled her into his arms in the darkness.

After the room was completely silent, Lin Shanchu slowly realized what Huo Xunzhou meant just now.

Lin Shanchu did not understand him, so she bit his finger in confusion.

Was it something that required a lot of time? The man’s deep voice suddenly sounded behind her ear.

“What’s in your mind?”

“Nothing!”

She answered too quickly, making her seem even more guilty.

Huo Xunzhou chuckled. “I know what you’re thinking.”

Lin Shanchu was a little embarrassed as she replied, “You don’t know.”

“I just know.” He suddenly pressed his lips against hers right after his voice trailed off.

The next morning, Huo Xunzhou still woke up on time.

Before he left, he went back to the bedroom to check on Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu felt someone kissing her while she was dazed with sleep.

Before she opened her eyes, she heard the man’s low and gentle voice. “I’m going to the company.”

Lin Shanchu opened her eyes drowsily and her voice sounded soft after she just woke up.

“What time is it?”

“It’s almost 8:00 a.m.”

Huo Xunzhou kissed her forehead again and said, “I’ll pick you up after work tonight and take you back to the Yun family for New Year’s Eve.”

“Okay.” Lin Shanchu nodded obediently.

Huo Xunzhou looked at her and did not really want to go to the company.

Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something else.

“By the way, Auntie sent us some clothes two days ago. Do you want to try them on before you leave?”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze as he asked, “She sent them to your house?”

Judging from his expression, Lin Shanchu could tell he was well aware of what kind of clothes his aunt had sent over.

“Yeah!”

Lin Shanchu felt that she was a little perverted now.

She especially loved seeing Huo Xunzhou angry and frustrated.

She excitedly jumped out of bed and went to the walk-in closet to take out the two sets of clothes that his aunt had given her.

She placed the clothes on the bed to show them to Huo Xunzhou.

“They are bright red and very festive!”

Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and replied, “Yeah.”

“Let’s try it on.” Lin Shanchu picked up the clothes and made a gesture at his body.

Huo Xunzhou looked unwilling, but he did not reject her probably because he did not want to spoil her mood.

Lin Shanchu coaxed him by asking softly, “Don’t you think they look like couple outfits?”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression softened when he heard her words.

Huo Xunzhou left after trying on the fitting outfit.

When Lin Shanchu finished washing up and went out, Yun Wu was sitting on the sofa in the living room and moving around like she was on pins and needles.

Yun Wu’s eyes lit up when she saw Lin Shanchu. “Sister-in-law…”

Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows.

Yun Wu usually did not address her as “Sister-in-law”.

She did not address her as “Sister-in-law” for the sake of honorific, but to please her.

“Your Third Brother went to the company a long time ago,” Lin Shanchu reminded her with a faint smile.

“Really?” Yun Wu revealed an expression as if she had just survived a disaster.

“What are you afraid of?” Lin Shanchu said slowly. “No matter how angry your Third Brother is, he won’t kill you, right?”

Yun Wu replied helplessly, “Can you not talk about such gory things early in the morning?”

Yun Wu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Sanchu with a strange and incomprehensible expression.

“Why did Third Brother go to the company so early?”

“It’s not early. It’s already past eight o’clock. He clocked in at the company on time today. He would be late if he went out later.”

Huo Xunzhou had always been punctual. He had plenty of time at first, but he ran out of time after she asked him to try on the outfit..
