After exercising, Huo Zheng showered before he went to look for Lin Xiaowan. He found her on the couch, looking as though she was going to fall asleep. When Lin Xiaowan saw him approaching, she continued to lie on the couch, looking boneless, as she reached for him.

“Hug.”

Huo Zheng hugged her before he carried her up. He supported her back and bottom with his hands to prevent her from falling. Although the dining room was not far at all, she had fallen asleep in his arms when they arrived.

“Why is she so sleepy today?” Aunt Wu asked, puzzled.

Although Lin Xiaowan had a hard time getting up early in the morning, she had never been carried to the dining room half asleep.

Aunt Wu looked at the time and found that it was still rather early.

Huo Zheng patted Lin Xiaowan’s face gently to wake her up.

When Lin Xiaowan opened her eyes, she found that she was already in the dining room. She quickly sobered up and got out of Huo Zheng’s embrace before she took a seat, sitting upright.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Wu laughed and teased her, making her feel embarrassed.

After breakfast, Lin Xiaowan waited for Huo Zheng to leave before she went to the studio to draw and paint. However, she began to yawn as soon as she sat down.

‘It hasn’t even been two minutes since I got here… This won’t do… How can 1 produce good work if I’m not in a good state?’ Lin Xiaowan thought to herself, justifying her decision before going back to bed.

At night.

Lin Xiaowan sat on the bed. When she saw Huo Zheng, she said with a straight face, “1 don’t think the training plan is very well thought out…”

Huo Zheng looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes as she erased her plan on the whiteboard.

She had already experienced the pain of waking up early. If she had to wake up early every day, she would only suffer.

“I’ll modify the plan later before I continue…”

Two days later.

Gu Yuwu called Lin Xiaowan and asked, “1’11 take you out to experience another sport. What do you think?”

“What is it?” Lin Xiaowan asked.

“Archery. Are you interested?”

Lin Xiaowan readily agreed, curious.

The venue was located in a club. Apart from archery, there was also a shooting range, a boxing ring, a go-karting track, and the likes. There was also a lake for boating at the back.

When Gu Yuwu led Lin Xiaowan in, Gu Yuwu met many familiar faces.

One of them was a young woman who pulled her hair up into a high ponytail. Her skin was good, and her figure was very good. Her expression was indifferent as she raised her hand and nocked the arrows. Even when she released the arrows and hit the bullseye, her expression did not change.

Gu Yuwu smiled and greeted the other party. “What a coincidence. 1 didn’t expect to meet the workaholic President Cheng here on a weekday.”

Cheng Ruitong nodded at Gu Yuwu in response. Although her face was expressionless, her voice was gentle as she asked, gesturing at Lin Xiaowan, “This is?”

“This is my sister, Lin Xiaowan. I brought her here to play today.”

Cheng Ruitong studied Lin Xiaowan from top to bottom. A hint of skepticism could be seen in her eyes, but she did not say anything.

Gu Yuwu turned to Lin Xiaowan and said, “Come and say hello to Sister Cheng. She’s the president of Chenghong Technologies, Cheng Ruitong.”

“Hello, President Cheng,” Lin Xiaowan greeted with a smile.

“Hello,” Cheng Ruitong said with a nod, “You don’t have to be so polite. It’s not like we’re at work.”

Lin Xiaowan tilted her head, shifting her gaze from Cheng Ruitong to Gu Yuwu.

“There’s no need to dwell on her words. She’s like this to everyone she doesn’t work with. Not only is she good at archery, but she’s also good at riding horses and shooting. If we’re lucky enough to meet her again, 1’11 ask her to teach you how to ride.”

‘How impressive!’ Lin Xiaowan thought to herself as her eyes widened.

Cheng Ruitong’s personality is very different from her aloof appearance. She was very casual and friendly even though it was their first meeting. She asked, “Is this your first time here, Xiaowan?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded.

“Are you leaving soon? If you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you teach us the basics of archery?” Gu Yuwu asked.

Cheng Ruitong looked at Gu Yuwu, raising an eyebrow slightly. They were all in the same circle, and she knew Gu Yuwu was not uninitiated in these things. Even if Gu Yuwu was not very skilled, Gu Yuwu was familiar with it. There was no need for her to teach Gu Yuwu the basics.

As though she could read Cheng Ruitong’s thoughts, Gu Yuwu added, “Well, I mostly want your help to teach Xiaowan. She’s a complete newbie.”

Cheng Ruitong looked at Lin Xiaowan who was standing obediently at the side. In her eyes, Lin Xiaowan looked very tender, and her facial features were delicate. At this moment, she was looking around curiously. Seeing Lin Xiaowan’s ruddy cheeks, she felt like pinching them to see if they were as soft as they looked.

Finally, Cheng Ruitong replied, “I’m not in a rush. 1 just arrived not long ago.”

Then, Chen Ruitong said to Lin Xiaowan, “You don’t have to address me as President Cheng. You can just call me Sister like Yuwu does.”

Lin Xiaowan was delighted that she had gained another ‘sister’. She smiled and called out sweetly, “Sister Cheng.”

Cheng Ruitong nodded and waved Lin Xiaowan over. “Come here.”

Lin Xiaowan quickly walked over to Cheng Ruitong’s side. When she smelled Cheng Ruitong, she thought of winter. She thought about the snow falling heavily in the morning, opening the door, and seeing a red plum blossom tree standing in the yard. This was the feeling that the latter’s scent evoked.

Cheng Ruitong was extremely tall. She was almost 1.8 meters tall, which was quite rare for women. In comparison, Lin Xiaowan looked even more petite standing next to her.

While Cheng Ruitong taught Lin Xiaowan how to draw the bowstring, Lin Xiaowan could not help but sniff around. Upon seeing this, Cheng Ruitong asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaowan was a little embarrassed that she had been discovered. She replied sheepishly, “It’s nothing. I just thought that your perfume smells really good. I really like it. Where did you buy it?”

“My good friend made it for me. If you like it, I’ll give you a bottle,” Cheng Ruitong replied.

“No, no, it’s okay,” Lin Xiaowan hurriedly said. She thought she would buy it herself once Cheng Ruitong told her the brand of the perfume. However, the perfume was especially given to Cheng Ruitong by a good friend, she did not think it was appropriate to accept it. After all, this was only their first meeting, and they were just acquaintances at best.

“It’s fine. My friend will be very happy if she knows that someone likes the perfume she made,” Cheng Ruitong said.

“No, no, 1 don’t think that’s a good idea,” Lin Xiaowan said. Although she was very tempted, she felt it was a little inappropriate. After thinking about it for a while, she asked, “Does your friend sell the perfumes she makes? 1 can buy it.” “She does, “Cheng Ruitong said before she added, “However, she doesn’t sell the perfume you like.”

Lin Xiaowan felt a little regretful, but she still asked for the other party’s contact number.

Although Cheng Ruitong looked aloof, she was very patient and helpful.

Usually, Cheng Ruitong’s friend only sold the perfumes she made to her friends. It was not her main business, and perfumery was just a hobby to her. Cheng Ruitong showed Lin Xiaowan the website. However, the fragrances were all sold out and had to be pre-ordered..
