Si Xia chuckled as he leaned into Chen's embrace, "That's all right. I'm doing it for all the compensation I'll be getting tonight."
Yu Chen blushed and punched Si Xia's back saying, "Shut up. And go take a shower. You stink."
Xia turned around and pecked her on the forehead before saying, "What about all this mess?"
Chen rolled her eyes, "I can't expect a boy to be able to clean it. Go on. I'll be done by the time you complete that shower."
She then took the cleaning cloth from Si Xia's hand and pushed him out of the kitchen.
As she had expected, Yu Chen was almost done when she heard Si Xia calling her name.
Chen frowned as she put away the dirty cloth and walked over to the bathroom with her hands on her hips.
"What do you need now? I swear, you're like a little kid." Yu Chen sighed.
The next moment, Yu Chen blushed beetroot red as Si Xia stepped out, wearing only his boxer shorts. He grabbed Chen's wrist and pulled her to himself. Xia bit Chen's ear and whispered, "Do you really want to see how much of a kid I am?"
But Yu Chen was in no condition to reply. She had become air-headed upon seeing Si Xia like that, and her mind had completely stopped functioning once Xia pulled her.
So, Chen actually blacked out for a few seconds when Xia bit her ear.
When Yu Chen came to, she saw herself in Si Xia's arms, being carried princess style.
He had her in his arms and Chen felt herself firmly pressed against his muscular chest.
Chen's heartbeat increased and her face reddened as Si Xia peered over her, very worried.
"What's wrong Chen? Are you not feeling well? I knew I shouldn't have let you go out wearing only that cardigan. . . . . ." Si Xia immediately went into his mom mode and began fussing over Yu Chen.
Chen normally would have teased him for it, but she was a bit too preoccupied right now trying to control her mind that was running wild. Yu Chen finally began to calm down a bit when Si Xia carried her to the living room and set her down on the couch. He then went away to fetch a glass of water, a welcome occurance for Chen to collect her thoughts.
When Si Xia returned with the glass of water, he was very surprised to find the living room empty.
He called out Chen's name, his voice filled with worry. "I'm here!!" Xia was infinitely relieved to hear Chen's voice from her bedroom and he directed his steps towards it.
Si Xia had almost reached Chen's bedroom door when she appeared in the doorway, carrying something in her hands.
She handed it to Xia and took the glass of water, saying, "Try this on, I think it'll fit you."
Si Xia held out the cloth in his hand and saw that it was a black t-shirt, XL size.
Yu Chen drained the glass of water and wiped her lips. She looked up to see Si Xia looking at her weirdly. "What?" Chen asked, "Is this not your size? I thought you wore XL?"
Si Xia looked at the t-shirt in his hand. It had clearly been worn and was not new.
"Who's is this?" he suddenly asked.
