His phone had run out of battery before, and now it was finally charged and turned on.
It was filled with ssages, no doubt.
Ning Yuhuan and the others had sent many ssages.
Xu Lin had disappeared for twenty-six days, so it's no wonder everyone was worried.
Especially Chi Linyue, she was the only one who knew Xu Lin had gone abroad. She sent the most ssages, and was the most worried about Xu Lin's prolonged absence.
Xu Lin sent a group ssage: "I've been in seclusion recently, just ca out and went online. I'm fine, don't worry."
After that, ssages from various won ca in, and Xu Lin spent half an hour switching back and forth to reply to each one.
Ti flies, and days pass rapidly.
Before he knew it, December was already in the latter half.
With only a few days left of 2026, Xu Lin decided to go back this ti to spend so quality ti with them and also to relax himself.
Xu Lin took a nap, and this ti he slept for seventeen hours with deep sleep again.
He was too tired and needed a full relaxation to give his body, especially his brain, a rest.
On the evening of the 24th, Xu Lin bought so children's gifts at a Dubai mall, for Xixi.
After buying the gifts, Xu Lin took a flight back ho at midnight.
After returning, Xu Lin went to a salon to get his hair trimd and styled into a fresh look.
Today Chi Linyue had to work.
So Xu Lin went to her company.
Chi Linyue was surprised and delighted to see him co in.
However, she remained seated, just gesturing for Xu Lin to close the door.
Comprehending her gesture, Xu Lin closed the door, and locked it for good asure.
Only then did the big sister pounce on him.
A reunion feels like a new honeymoon.
Chi Linyue had been worried sick while Xu Lin was abroad, especially with him disappearing for twenty-six days.
Knowing that Xu Lin was being watched by many people, what if sothing happened?
"Disappearing for twenty-six days, couldn't you let know in advance? You often vanish without a word, and I get worried, you know?"
Chi Linyue softly punched Xu Lin's chest while being held in his embrace, her tone full of reproach.
"My bad."
Xu Lin gently patted her back.
"Don't do it again. If you're really busy, give a heads up at least so I don't worry!"
"Sorry for worrying you."
"Hmph!"
Chi Linyue snorted, then stood on tiptoe to kiss Xu Lin.
The kiss lasted over three minutes.
"Spend the night with , and we can get a room. Tonight, anything goes."
"I've bought gifts for Xixi too."
"Talk about it tomorrow, tonight's for ."
"Alright then, I'll spend the night with you, you insatiable woman."
"Hah, as if you're not lusty yourself? Calling insatiable is the pot calling the kettle black!"
"Oh, you'll see tonight, considering I've been holding back for over a month."
"Sa here!"
"Let's see who's better then."
"Bring it on!"
They engaged in playful banter, and half an hour flew by.
After that, Chi Linyue returned to her work duties, and they opened the office door as soone needed to bring in docunts.
While Chi Linyue was busy, Xu Lin lay on the sofa playing on his phone.
Eventually, Xu Lin grew tired of his phone, and decided to sleep, lying quietly on his back, looking serene as he faced the ceiling.
Chi Linyue glanced at him, only able to see part of his profile.
She wondered if it was because they hadn't seen each other in so long, but she noticed that Xu Lin seed a bit more handso.
Or perhaps he had matured?
At nineteen, boys still have a hint of boyishness.
In ancient tis, boys were considered to reach young adulthood at twenty.
n generally fully mature in their twenties and begin to exhibit the charm of a mature man around thirty, which, if well-maintained, could last into their forties.
Chi Linyue indeed felt that Xu Lin seed to have beco more attractive.
What a strange thing.
For Chi Linyue, today felt incredibly long, like ti passed painfully slow, reminiscent of her college days, waiting from Friday morning until the afternoon's dismissal, yearning for the bell to ring and liberate her.
Finally, Chi Linyue waited for the end of the workday.
"Wake up, let's go grab a al."
Chi Linyue woke Xu Lin, who was sleeping.
"Is it off work already?"
"Yes, it is!"
Xu Lin opened his eyes to see Chi Linyue putting on her coat.
Today she wore a white turtleneck sweater with black leggings, perfectly accentuating her figure, very enticing.
Speaking of which, late December in Jiangdu was quite cold, with dayti temperatures in the single digits despite the sun.
Whereas in Dubai it was over twenty degrees, suitable for wearing short sleeves.
