The two returned home and, just like last night, soaked their feet together, lay in bed together, and chatted.
Since they wouldn't see each other for at least half a month, neither of them wanted to go to sleep early.
Lin Xi lay on her side, her hands cradling her cheek, gazing unblinkingly at Xue Yang as if she were looking at some priceless treasure.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. I was just thinking, you're working so hard, what reason do I have not to?"
"I'm doing okay, I think. But..."
"But what?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"I once promised I'd make your net worth surpass Si Wen's, but it looks like that's a promise I won't have to keep."
The gap between their social statuses was huge. If he didn't work hard, their path forward would be very difficult.
Lin Xi blinked, seeming to ponder this. In the end, however, she said nothing.
Xue Yang patted her head. "Go to sleep. You need to get up early tomorrow."
