Chapter 254 : Definitely a Pervert
Generally speaking, New Year's meant new clothes, weight gain, and New Year's money.
But Lin Nan had almost never received any of these three things before.
Her parents would arrive home close to New Year's each year and had no time to buy Lin Nan new clothes. They were too lazy to cook, so they didn't prepare a pile of New Year's goods like Chen Yao's family that could last until the Lantern Festival. As for New Year's money, she had never even seen what it looked like.
Early the next morning, Lin Nan stretched and threw off the blanket. The experience of sleeping on the floor wasn't good. Even though she had laid down a blanket, she still felt the floor was icy and hard, making her shoulders ache unbearably after waking up.
She glanced at Chen Yao, who was still snoring. Last night, this guy's snoring had been really too loud. Combined with the occasional fireworks and firecrackers outside, Lin Nan didn't fall asleep until three in the morning.
It was only nine o'clock now. Lin Nan stretched and prepared to lie back down to sleep a bit more. After all, Auntie never called her to wake up, and today was the first day of the New Year, so being a bit indulgent wouldn't be a problem.
Just as she was about to lie down, Lin Nan discovered a red envelope by her pillow.
She froze, blankly picking up the red envelope and looking it over. It was just three hundred yuan, not a large amount. It should be New Year's money from Auntie.
The problem is, I'm already an adult.
Lin Nan dissatisfiedly stuffed the New Year's money into her pocket.
Still treating me like a child, giving me New Year's money!
It's not much money. This New Year's money was obviously much easier to accept... The New Year's money from a few days ago had over a thousand yuan, scaring Lin Nan into returning it long ago.
Moreover, unlike a meeting gift, New Year's money was given to younger generations, while meeting gifts were given to daughters-in-law. Although Lin Nan was greedy for money, she could still distinguish what she should and shouldn't take.
Her spirits immediately lifted considerably. She no longer wanted to sleep in. Getting up, she put on her jacket, washed up, then left the bedroom.
Auntie seemed to really like Cola. As soon as she went out, Lin Nan saw her curled up on the sofa playing with the black cat. Uncle hadn't gotten up yet. Looking into the open master bedroom door, she could vaguely see the bulging blanket on the bed and could hear the same model of snoring as Chen Yao.
"Not sleeping a bit more?" Auntie noticed Lin Nan was awake and looked up with a smile to ask, "You probably didn't sleep well last night, right? I could hear Chen Yao snoring through the door."
"When he doesn't drink, he doesn't snore. I just haven't gotten used to it yet." Lin Nan sat down beside Auntie and reached out trying to pet Cola's head.
However, the cat let out a shrill warning sound. "Don't come over! This lady doesn't need you anymore!"
It looked like it no longer had the dejected appearance from when she saw it last night. Its fur was shiny, clearly having been bathed last night.
This cat has no conscience. Lin Nan was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, awkwardly asking, "Has Auntie fed it already?"
Auntie pinched Cola's cheeks and nodded. "Yes, it's quite strange. It insists on eating like a person, one bite of rice, one bite of dish."
"Maybe it learned from me?"
Lin Nan hadn't noticed Cola had this quirk before, since back then Cola ate cat food and canned cat food.
"By the way, thank you for the New Year's money, Auntie."
"No need, we're all family."
Before, hearing phrases like "all family" always felt strange to Lin Nan, but after New Year's Eve, she unexpectedly accepted it calmly. She just felt that Auntie was really too good to her, but she didn't know how to repay her.
Auntie placed a bowl of seafood porridge on the coffee table. This was a coastal area. Although seafood wasn't a necessity on every household's table, they could at least eat it every few days. With New Year's here, besides large chunks of pork, the freezer was full of various seafood.
Lin Nan took a sip of the porridge, and her face immediately filled with a happy smile. Compared to the breakfast she used to casually buy on the street or order for delivery, having someone specially cook for her was already a kind of happiness, not to mention this breakfast was extremely to her taste.
After eating breakfast and chatting idly with Auntie for a few sentences, Lin Nan got up and returned to the room. Just entering, she saw Chen Yao had also woken up and was sitting at the head of the bed pouring himself water.
He seemed to have forgotten about last night's events, but Lin Nan felt particularly awkward seeing him, always remembering the scene of being held in his embrace.
"What time did I fall asleep last night?" After drinking some water, Chen Yao asked.
Lin Nan sat down in front of the computer, looking for a good movie with nothing better to do, and answered, "Around midnight."
She suddenly regretted a bit not taking advantage of Chen Yao being drunk last night to do something, like asking if he minded her former male identity, asking if he had feelings for her...
Chen Yao's head hurt badly. He rarely drank baijiu, but yesterday he drank until he almost lost consciousness in one go. This inevitably caused his body to have negative reactions, like that intense pain in the back of his head. He tried to recall last night, but his memory stopped at the moment he entered the bedroom. Later, he seemed to have taken advantage of the alcohol to do something to Lin Nan that he'd always wanted to do...
Chen Yao looked up again at Lin Nan's graceful back, feeling like she seemed to be holding a grudge.
Did I say something particularly offensive last night?
That shouldn't be right.
I'm not that kind of person. Even if I was drunk, I probably couldn't do anything too excessive.
Chen Yao frowned and simply asked directly, "I didn't do anything out of line after getting drunk last night, did I?"
Lin Nan turned her head to glance at him and snorted lightly. "No!"
That tone, you could tell at once it carried strong dissatisfaction.
He immediately chickened out, not daring to ask more, afraid he'd really acted like a beast last night. But looking at Lin Nan's reaction, last night he'd probably been worse than a beast. Otherwise, right now Lin Nan would already be holding a broom wanting to fight him to the death, rather than just looking dissatisfied.
Chen Yao got up from the bed, yawning. The smell of alcohol all over his body made even himself uncomfortable. He went to the closet to get a set of clothes and hurriedly ran off to shower.
After Chen Yao left, Lin Nan sat in front of the computer with nothing to do. After checking out all the clothes in her shopping cart, she turned around to find Chen Yao's phone was right there, and it hadn't even entered lock screen mode.
Lin Nan casually picked up the phone. Holding onto a desire to explore the unknown, or rather a voyeuristic desire, she opened Chen Yao's photo album.
Most of the album was various screenshots, but scrolling up a bit, Lin Nan saw a heavily beautified selfie.
"Tsk tsk, this photo fraud is way too fake, right?" Lin Nan looked at the handsome guy with an almost awl-shaped face in the photo, then thought of Chen Yao's square face, and almost laughed out loud.
Scrolling two more pages, Lin Nan saw a side profile photo of herself sleeping.
"You even took secret photos?"
This side profile photo was probably taken a few days ago when she had a fever and was sick. Her small face was flushed red, her eyes unfocused as she looked at the ceiling. It did look cute, just that no matter how you looked at it, it seemed a bit like those meme expressions of being thoroughly confused.
Embarrassing history! Delete it!
Continuing to scroll, Lin Nan realized Chen Yao had actually taken countless photos of her without her knowing. There was her back view sitting and playing on the computer, her just waking up with a confused face and hair like a bird's nest in profile, and her hugging the blanket like a pillow, sleeping on her side in a daze.
In Lin Nan's view, these photos were each uglier than the last.
"Chen Yao is a pervert, right?"
Scanning through them, from moving into Chen Yao's home a week ago until now had only been about ten days, but there were already over twenty secretly taken photos.
"Definitely a pervert!"
