Being a freelance worker is not without its advantages. At least you don’t have to work from nine to five every day, and you can arrange your working hours independently, which is more flexible.
A gleam of light flashed in Su Wan's dark almond-shaped eyes. She straightened her mind and spoke solemnly.
"Fei'er, are you free next Wednesday?"
Su Wan's serious tone reached Lin Fei'er's ears, and she was so shocked that she straightened her back immediately.
"I just finished my last novel two days ago, and my online store has also entered the off-season, so I am free almost every day. I feel scared when you say that. Is there anything wrong?"
Su Wan burst out laughing when he heard that, and somehow imagined a scene in his mind where Lin Fei'er silently tucked in the corner of the quilt and looked at him nervously.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This is a good thing. I want to invite you to dinner at Orange Island next Wednesday, but you need to bring a bunch of family members with you."
Su Wan said it seemingly easily, but Lin Feier understood what she meant instantly.
"I have to meet the parents so soon..."
Lin Feier swallowed and murmured subconsciously into the phone.
As someone who had experienced this, Su Wan certainly understood Lin Feier's anxiety at the moment.
Thinking back to when she and Jiang Xuecheng first went back to the Jiang family's old house, she always felt like she had a little rabbit in her arms, and she felt very uneasy.
Su Wan smiled slightly and soothed Lin Feier in a gentle voice.
"You have already agreed to Jiang Haoxuan's proposal, and your aunt has also agreed. Isn't it only a matter of time before both parties meet their parents? The sooner the better."
Lin Fei'er was not comforted by these words at all. She looked at the obvious scar on her arm and subconsciously tugged at the white gauze around her neck.
"But I've been injured a lot these past two days. How can I go out and meet people? I don't even have a decent image anymore..."
Su Wan was reminded by Lin Feier and forced herself not to laugh out loud.
She thought wickedly that when Lin Feier met her parents for the first time, she would probably never forget it.
But then again, I still have gauze wrapped around my shoulder, and I haven't dared to wear a skirt these two days. I've only been wearing a white shirt.
"I still have Haoxuan with you, and your injury isn't on your face, so don't be afraid, can't you just ignore it?"
Lin Feier looked so sad that she almost felt sorry for herself.
"That's true, but I..."
Which girl doesn’t care about her image? And this meeting was a little special.
Suddenly, Su Wan heard the sound of the door being opened from the outside. She was startled and immediately interrupted Lin Feier's words.
"Okay, okay, don't think too much. It's settled. We'll have dinner at Orange Island next Wednesday night. It's best if you can bring your uncle and aunt along!"
Su Wan put down her phone, and the door was opened. She saw the expected handsome face.
Apart from Jiang Xuecheng, no one would come to her office without knocking.
Su Wan's gaze moved towards the bag in Jiang Xuecheng's hand, and she was curious about what was inside.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and asked Jiang Xuecheng: "What is that?"
Jiang Xuecheng walked over calmly, moved the slightly messy things on Su Wan's desk, and put the bag on it.
"I was in a hurry to see grandma this morning, so I didn't have time to change your dressing. I will change it for you now."
Su Wan nodded in realization, and suddenly saw Jiang Xuecheng walk to the window next to him and draw the curtains to block the view of people outside who might look in.
Since she needed to change the medicine, she had to take off her top as well. Su Wan immediately spoke to Jiang Xuecheng.
"Xuecheng, lock the door too."
"No, they won't come in."
Su Wan thought about it and agreed. She walked to the sofa next to her and slowly began to unbutton her shirt.
Su Wan's left shoulder was wrapped in white gauze, with some dried blood visible on it, but it no longer looked as creepy as it did at the beginning.
Her clothes were half undressed, revealing most of her fair shoulders. Her face was slightly lowered, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were like a painting of a beautiful lady.
The scene was so beautiful that Jiang Xuecheng suddenly thought of a poem written by a recent poet.
—The most touching thing is the gentleness of lowering the head, and the shyness of the cool breeze.
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes as deep as the night were shining brightly.
Su Wan was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Xuecheng was still standing there, and immediately waved at Jiang Xuecheng.
"Come here quickly, it's inconvenient for me to remove the gauze."
Jiang Xuecheng nodded, his expression slightly restrained, he picked up the bag of medicine and sat down next to Su Wan.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and touched Su Wan's left shoulder, and his slender fingertips carefully began to remove the gauze for Su Wan.
"Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Xuecheng saw the faint traces of blood on the gauze, and there was an unconcealable pity in his eyes.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it's a little itchy. It's probably scabbing over."
Jiang Xuecheng's fingers lingered on her shoulders. Su Wan looked at his handsome face so close to her and her face suddenly turned red.
Su Wan simply stopped talking. In fact, she felt that the atmosphere was already weird enough. She also drew all the curtains. People who didn’t know might still...
Su Wan shook his head and quickly dismissed the thought that had just popped up in his mind.
Su Wan couldn't help but curse herself in her heart. It seemed that since some time ago, the things in her head became more and more weird.
Jiang Xuecheng threw all the old gauze into the trash can. He looked at Su Wan's left shoulder, which was completely scabbed, and his eyes deepened.
"Looks like he's recovering well."
Su Wan turned his head in surprise, only to see that the wound on his left shoulder was indeed completely scabbed over, and it seemed that it would heal in less than two days.
Logically speaking, although the injury she suffered yesterday was not serious, it shouldn't heal so quickly.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng, frowned, and spoke hesitantly.
"It seems that I don't know when, my healing ability suddenly improved. Last time I accidentally cut my hand in the kitchen, and two days later there was no trace of the wound."
You know, when Su Wan suffered a minor injury in the past, how could he recover so quickly, and even the scar disappeared!
“Really? That’s a good thing.”
Jiang Xuecheng's heart sank when he heard this, and one thing flashed through his mind—Su Wan was unconscious for a long time after drinking his blood, and then the scars on his body completely disappeared.
Jiang Xuecheng never believed in supernatural powers, but these trivial things left him with a knot in his heart.
"Wanwan, I'll change the medicine for you."
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips, picked up the medicine and slowly applied it to the scabby area on Su Wan's wound. After it was done, he bandaged Su Wan up with clean gauze again.
After applying the medicine, Su Wan was about to put on her clothes again, but Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stopped her, then sat down sideways with one leg across Su Wan.
Su Wan raised her head in astonishment, and looked at the man in front of her, her face full of confusion.
This posture is a bit...
Su Wan didn't know if she was overthinking or what, but she always felt something was wrong.
"Xuecheng, get up and let me get dressed first."
Jiang Xuecheng leaned over, his nose touching Su Wan's nose, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Wanwan, how about having sex here?"
