At 7:00 p.m. Xiang ChangKong set his status at 'busy' when he didn't get any orders. He didn't want to keep Xu Lian waiting and go hungry, so he rushed and managed to ring her doorbell at exactly 8:00 p.m.

"Xiang ChangKong, you're here." Xu Lian opened her front door and greeted him.

When he saw Xu Lian, Xiang ChangKong's thoughts couldn't help but wander, especially when he saw several hickeys on her exposed neck.

A record of their accomplishments.

"...." Xiang ChangKong suddenly turned bright red, his breathing becoming erratic.

"Come in." Xu Lian bent down and brought out a pair of slippers for him. As he slipped off his shoes, Xiang ChangKong noticed something. It was a different pair to the ones he wore last time. These look brand new.

"Are...are these new?"

"Nn." Xu Lian nodded. "I saw them while I was in the supermarket. I thought the blue color would suit you, so I bought it. You can wear them from now on."

His gaze turning limp, he put on the slippers.

Later...

"What do you have in your hand?"

After Xu Lian asked, Xiang ChangKong offered her the bag. "Oh, these are some fried dumplings I bought on the way here. I was afraid you'd be hungry, so I thought you could eat these first to tide you over."

"Alright, I'll go get a plate for it." Xu Lian went into the kitchen and took a plate, two bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks. Setting the table, she said: "You have some too."

"No, I'll just start cooking." Xiang ChangKong replied. Then, he slowly took out a small paper bag from his backpack and handed it to Xu Lian. "This...this is for you."

Xu Lian had just taken a bite of a dumpling. After hearing Xiang ChangKong's words, she looked up towards him. In his hand was a small pink paper bag with a pair of rabbit ears printed on in. It was the logo of BUNNY.

"Lipstick?"

"Nn."

Xiang ChangKong didn't say anything else, so Xu Lian took the paper bag and took out the lipstick. "Ah, it's this one. I wanted to buy this, but they were out of stock the last time I checked." Xu Lian raised her head and gave Xiang ChangKong a smile. "Thank you."

"N-no, no, it's nothing."

Xu Lian's mouth raised a little more. She went out to the living room and took out a small mirror. "Let me try it."

Xu Lian had light-colored lips, so she didn't need a lot of lipstick to stain her lips. After applying the lipstick, she rubbed her lips together. The color was a full red with hints of peach. It was as if she had just drunk some wine, and the drink accidentally stained her lips.

She turned towards Xiang ChangKong, who had been standing nearby and asked: "How does it look?"

"Good, looks good."Xiang ChangKong finds that he always seems to end up stuttering when next to Xu Lian.

Xu Lian smiled again. Taking a step forward, she hooked an arm around Xiang ChangKong's neck and stands on her tiptoes. She then kissed the side of his neck, leaving a distinct lip print on the skin.

"Nn, it's pretty."

Xiang ChangKong: "...."

His entire body was frozen, but his neck quickly began to turn red, and his ears started to look like they were burning.

Xu Lian laughed as she leaned on a table. After a long while, Xiang ChangKong managed to come back to his senses. Still stammering, he said: "L-let me cook first."
