Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Xiaowan did not think about how she was going to ask for an autograph before she came. In the end, she could only look at Gu Yuwu meaningfully for Gu Yuwu’s help.

This was also the first time Gu Yuwu was meeting the young girls. She was very friendly and smiled at them kindly as she said, “Xiaowan came to ask for your autographs. Please fulfill her wish after we’re done with the hotpot.”

Lin Xiaowan smiled brightly at the girls.

The girls also smiled and nodded in return. They were naturally very happy. They even felt grateful, seeing that they had a fan.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xiaowan exclaimed, surprised, “Ah, all of you are only 18 years old?”

‘No wonder they look so young…’

One of the girls with cute chubby cheeks and two pigtails said with a smile, “They’re 18. I’m 20!”

As for the idol, whose autograph Lin Xiaowan wanted, she was the youngest in the group. She had just celebrated her 18th birthday not long ago. She had long curly hair, and her face was exquisite. She was just like a doll, and she spoke very sweetly.

After getting along for a while, Gu Yuwu’s celebrity friends also relaxed. They did not put on any air and would even help pick food for Lin Xiaowan. They were more like kind elders so she was not very nervous.

After eating for a while, Lin Xiaowan noticed that the girls seemed to be more reserved than her. At this time, the cameras had been removed, and the staff members had already left to eat, but the girls still did not look relaxed.

Lin Xiaowan felt that even when the girls were eating, they looked as beautiful as a painting. After a while, she said, “You guys eat so little.”

The girls were still growing at the age of 18, but they were eating so little. Lin Xiaowan wondered if they were full after eating so little. However, on second thought, the girls were all idols. They probably needed to eat less to maintain their figure.

One of the girls, who was eating boiled green beans, sighed upon hearing Lin Xiaowan’s words and said helplessly, “What can we do? Let me tell you a secret. If we eat too much and gain weight, we’ll be fined.”

Lin Xiaowan was shocked. “What? That’s so terrifying! But you’re already so thin…”

Lin Xiaowan had just eaten a fishball, and at this moment, she still had many things cooking in the small hotpot in front of her.

This was the first time Lin Xiaowan had been so close to idols. The girls were really thin. Their hands and feet were very slender.

Lin Xiaowan thought about how Huo Zheng always said that she was too thin whenever he hugged her. She thought that she should let him see for himself what it meant to be thin. After thinking about this, she thought about Huo Zheng and the fact that he did not know that she had come to eat hotpot today. She felt a pang of guilt, but it did not stop her from stuffing a piece of tofu into her mouth.

After the meal, Lin Xiaowan received the girls’ autographs. Not only that, but she was pleasantly surprised when she also received a set of photo cards and a yet-to-be-released album from them.

When Lin Xiaowan returned, Huo Zheng was not at home. When they spoke on the phone, he had told her that he had a meeting at the company and that he would be home late. She did not mind this and was even a little glad. After all, she still smelled a little of hotpot.

After taking a shower, Lin Xiaowan played with Little Chestnut for a while before she felt sleepy. Aunt Wu and the others had gone to bed early, and it was very quiet at this moment. She hugged Little Chestnut, and it did not take long before she fell asleep on the cat bed that she had bought for Little Chestnut.

Lin Xiaowan had chanced upon the cat bed when she was browsing the Internet. Due to Little Chestnut’s size, which was bigger than ordinary cats, she decisively bought the largest size. In the end, when she received the goods, she was dumbfounded. The cat bed was more than one and a half meters in length and width. Let alone Little Chestnut, even a full-grown Husky would be able to sleep on it with plenty of space to spare.

It was already past midnight when Huo Zheng returned. He assumed that Lin Xiaowan was already asleep, but when he went to the bedroom, he found that only the bedside lamp was turned on, and no one was on the bed. He panicked and quickly called her phone. In the next moment, her phone rang from under the blanket.

Since the phone was here, it meant that she was at home. With this, Huo Zheng slowly calmed down. Lin Xiaowan would not leave her phone at home if she had gone out.

Huo Zheng glanced at his watch. It was almost one in the morning. After giving it some thought, he went downstairs. As expected, he found her sleeping soundly on the second floor.

Lin Xiaowan’s eyes were closed, and she held Little Chestnut loosely in her arms.

When Little Chestnut heard the noise, it opened its eyes, and its fluffy tail swayed from side to side in a leisurely manner. However, when it saw that it was Huo Zheng, it leaned closer to Lin Xiaowan and looked away disdainfully. Alas, it did not even have time to make itself comfortable before Huo Zheng scooped it up and placed it on the mat at the side.

Little Chestnut flicked its tail angrily and meowed before it leaped away.

Huo Zheng bent down and carried Lin Xiaowan in his arms.

At this moment, Lin Xiaowan opened her eyes in a daze. When she saw Huo Zheng, she wrapped her arms around his neck before closing her eyes again.

He patted her butt lightly and reprimanded her in a soft voice, “I just took my eyes off you for a while, and I couldn’t find you when I returned.”

Lin Xiaowan said sleepily in a soft voice, “I was just sleeping with Little Chestnut…”

As he carried her, he said teasingly, “You have a bed, but you came to compete with the cat for its bed…”

Lin Xiaowan yawned and snuggled closer to him before she said softly, “I was waiting for you to come home…”

Seeing how cute she was, Huo Zheng decided to forgive her for secretly eating hotpot. He even heard that she had drunk lemonade. For this, she would not be allowed to drink cold drinks this week.

Saturday morning.

When Lin Xiaowan got up, she put on a half-sleeved robe over her silk slip. She looked around and found Huo Zheng picking up clothes in the cloakroom.

A few days ago, a warning had been issued about the increase in temperature.

It was so hot that she did not want to go outside at all. She had not been going to the company with Huo Zheng. Apart from that time she sent the autographs and photo cards to his employee, she had been staying at home.

Huo Zheng tried to persuade her to go to the company with him, but he was not successful. In the end, he could only give in to her and repeatedly reminded her to let him know where she was going if she was going out.

Seeing Huo Zheng picking out clothes, Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “Are you attending an important event today?”

Usually, their clothes would be sent to the house every season, and the stylist would also match the clothes for them. Lin Xiaowan was quite interested in this, but Huo Zheng did not care at all. He was not picky with clothes and usually wore whatever had been matched for him. It was rare for him to be choosing his clothes like he was doing now.

Lin Xiaowan continued to say, “What’s so hard to choose? Apart from the difference in material, they all look the same…”

Huo Zheng turned to her and asked with a smile, “Qingqing, can you choose a tie for me?”

Lin Xiaowan said, “1 don’t have an eye for things like this. I know nothing about style, material, and so on. You’re not allowed to say anything if you don’t like what I picked.”

Huo Zheng buttoned his shirt as he said, “I won’t. Moreover, you have good taste.”

In the end, Lin Xiaowan chose a plain dark red tie and clumsily tied it for him.

Huo Zheng sat on a stool as he looked at her with a tender smile on his face. Occasionally, he would reach up and help Lin Xiaowan to prevent her from tying the tie into a dead knot..
