Yan’s heart almost melted from the sound. Sh*t! Sky is so adorable! Yan suddenly remembered the night when Sky was sleeping next to her. Her thoughts were messy that night. It would occasionally rub her arm with its head. Sky’s meowing was exceptionally soothing to her.
It was like this now too! However, she still could not forget that the next morning, Sky did not seem to like her anymore. Thinking of this, Yan immediately typed, ‘Sky doesn’t seem to like me. The other morning, I wanted to pet it, but it ran away as soon as it saw me. The next time I have a chance to come over, I’ll pet it until all its fur falls off and it becomes bald.’
A moment passed after she sent the message and Yan suddenly realized that her words seemed too casual. Would Han Qing find me annoying? When she was struggling with this thought, Han Qing replied to her message, ‘You don’t have to wait. You can come over tomorrow.’
Yan looked at this message in astonishment, then she let go of the phone and covered her mouth so that she could stop herself from screaming. She still found everything to be surreal. Why is Han Qing with me? Why are we… suddenly together? When did things start to change? Does he really like me? If he does, when did he start liking me?
Several questions jumped into Yan’s mind at once, making her head feel as if it was about to explode.
Beep, beep. The phone rang again. ‘I’ll pick you up tomorrow?’
Yan quickly replied, ‘But you have to go to the company tomorrow. Aren’t you going to work?’
‘It’s a Sunday.’
Oh, that’s right. Tomorrow is a Sunday. It was already a Sunday right after the two of them confirmed their relationship. If they were an ordinary couple, they should be going on dates or something, right? However, Yan did not dare to think about it with Han Qing. She quickly typed in a reply, ‘You don’t have to come and pick me up. Just send me the location and I’ll look for you tomorrow once I’m done with my work.’
Han Qing did not make a fuss out of it and immediately sent her the location. At this, Yan was very happy. Tomorrow, she would go to the supermarket after waking up. After buying some things, she would go look for Han Qing in the afternoon. Just when Yan was ready to say goodnight to him, Han Qing sent a voice message.
“Are we not going to talk on the phone?” A deep voice reached her ear. She blinked her eyes and continued texting. ‘It’s late. It’s the same even if we call on another day. You should wash up earlier and go to sleep. Goodnight.’ Then, Yan sent a goodnight sticker. It was a very cute sticker on WeChat—a round ball that had red ears and paws. After saying goodnight, she huddled into her blanket and put down her phone before sleeping.
Staring at the sticker, Han Qing was at a loss for a moment before suddenly laughing. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow.’
After seeing the four words Han Qing had sent to her, Yan rolled on the bed with her phone. She would go under the blanket for a moment before coming out again. Then, she sat up and looked out of the window before laying down and covering the blanket over herself once more. She was too excited and could not sleep that night. Then, she picked up the phone again and repeated the only voice message that Han Qing had sent over and over again. She listened and listened, pursing her lips while laughing. In the middle of the night when she finally felt tired, she fell into a deep sleep.
Yan had a dream that night. She dreamt of Han Qing bringing her back to the private villa, and since Yan was scared, she ran next door to find him. It was then when she was suddenly pressed to the wall by a mysterious someone. After that… The two kissed each other, and Yan’s clothes fell to the ground before she suddenly woke up from her dream.
The dream was suddenly cut off when Yan opened her eyes. Then, she quickly closed her eyes again for five seconds. There was only darkness in front of her and nothing else. Why? Why did I wake up at such a critical moment? Her usual biological clock was not usually so punctual, so why was it like this today?
Yan almost vomited blood out of anger. Soon after, she opened her eyes again and rolled over to hug her blanket while feeling annoyed. How could she make out Han Qing to be like this in her dream? It was really too bad. Han Qing was not as pervy as he was in her dream!
Thinking of this, Yan stretched out her hand and rubbed her head vigorously. Then, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When brushing her teeth, Yan was startled by the dark circles under her eyes. She almost fell when she took a few steps back. Fortunately, she reached out in time to grab the doorknob beside her. Then, she stood by the door and stared at the pair of panda eyes in the mirror. She was in a complete daze.
She did know when she had fallen asleep last night and only remembered that she had been listening to Han Qing’s magnetic voice. Gradually, that voice started saying, “Go to sleep. Go to sleep”. After that, Yan’s eyelids became heavy and she soon fell asleep. As for what time it happened, she did not know.
However, looking at her dark eye circles, she could estimate that she had only fallen asleep after 3 AM. Plus, why did her hair that she had only washed last night become so messy again this morning? It looked like a chicken’s nest. Out of desperation, Yan washed her hair again before going out to have breakfast with dark circles under her eyes.
When Luo Huimei saw her daughter’s long damp hair, she could not help being a little surprised. “Didn’t you just wash your hair last night? You washed it again after getting up this morning?”
When Yan heard the question, she felt her heart break as she replied in a depressing tone, “My hair was all messed up when I got up. I found it too ugly, so I washed it again.”
“So you know that it looks ugly? When I told you this before, didn’t you choose to not care?”
Yan did not know how to reply to this. “Yes, yes.”
Mr. Zhou was sitting by the side, slurping porridge while looking at Yan. He asked, “What’s up with your dark circles? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Once again, Yan was silent. She felt that it was a mistake to have come down for breakfast. Thinking of this, she put down the half-eaten bowl of porridge and said, “Mom, Dad, I have something on for these next two days, so I won’t be going to the restaurant. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the matters at the restaurant. If there’s anything wrong, I’ll hire two more employees.” After speaking, she got up and walked into the room.
“You haven’t even finished eating your porridge!” Mr. Zhou called out from behind.
Yan merely waved her hands. “I don’t have an appetite.” After entering the room, the door behind her was slammed shut.
“This kid… Not even eating breakfast? She’s not scared of going hungry!” Mr. Zhou said.
Luo Huimei sneered and sat down. She took a bite of a dumpling, then glanced at Mr. Zhou, “This time, your daughter is gone for good.”
“What’s wrong this time?” Mr. Zhou asked.
Hehe, what an idiot. She did not bother to explain it to him. Luo Huimei then decided to shut her mouth and eat quietly. It was too difficult to communicate with this senseless man.
It was unexpected that the man would take action so soon. Before, when she saw Yan look like she was going to die because of that man, she thought that her daughter was going to lead a very painful life. Who knew it was only a few days before…
