"Dear, I'm off to work. Take care at home."
Lin Lang nodded in response and casually reminded her to stay safe.
Then.
Xina briskly stepped out the door.
...
It wasn't until quite some time after Xina had left that Zhi Xi leisurely emerged from the bathtub.
She gently shook her wet hair, sending water droplets scattering, glinting like crystals in the morning sunlight.
Zhi Xi moved with light steps, like an affectionate kitten, nestling beside Lin Lang, and settled on the soft sofa with him.
In the blink of an eye.
Zhi Xi's beautiful fish tail slowly transformed into long, slender legs.
She seemed nonchalant, yet with a hint of shyness, as she gently placed her legs on Lin Lang's lap.
Lin Lang watched the scene before him, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and without hesitation, stretched out his hand to gently caress them.
His palm was broad and warm, slowly moving upward from Zhi Xi's calves, his touch soft and soothing.
"Lin Lang..."
Zhi Xi said softly.
"Hmm?"
