He first returned to his own flat but found it empty. He then went to Yan Suâs.
He spent a while knocking on her door, but no one answered it. At last, he received a WeChat message from Yan Su ââStop knocking. Iâm so tired. Iâm already in bed.â
Mo Liuxi felt speechless.
He thought he would come home to see a woman lying on his bed, but it turned out that he was wrong. There was no woman on his bed, and the woman next-door refused to open her door for him.
This is awful, he complained silently.
With no other choice, he slept in his own bedroom. Lying on the empty, large bed, he tossed and turned, feeling so cold and lonely.
It suddenly popped in his mind that Nian Junting always posted WeChat moments, so he quickly stood up and posted a selfie in his pajamas on his WeChat moment, along with the words ââThe winter in Xia City, cold.â
Yan Su saw the post the next morning. Luosang left her comment under the selfie ââBrother, the winter in Xia City isnât so cold.â
Nian Xi ââThe winter here is all right. I think itâs your heart that feels cold. You need a girlfriend. Let me introduce to you, the prettiest girl from our police station...â
Yan Su laughed. Somehow, she felt that Mo Liuxiâs WeChat moment was not as simple as it looked. He rarely posted WeChat moments.
After Yan Su washed up, Mo Liuxi knocked on her door. His face was full of coldness and unhappiness.
âI didnât sleep the night before last, so I slept early last night,â Yan Su explained with a low voice. She didnât tell him that it was because she felt a little uncomfortable after hearing her classmate say that Mo Liuxi drove An Ning home.
âDid you sleep well?â Mo Liuxiâs face finally warmed a little.
âFine.â Yan Su turned and headed toward the kitchen. âI didnât make congee. I boiled two eggs. Just drink some milk.â
âBut I didnât sleep well.â Mo Liuxi followed behind her. âDid you see my WeChat post?â
Yan Su turned off the heat, looked at him helplessly and said, âGet a thick quilt if youâre cold.â
âI donât need a quilt, I need a woman.â Mo Liuxi put his arms around her waist and whispered with a soft, low voice, âI need you. Ever since we slept together, I found my bed too big and too empty. I finally understand why you got such a small bed.â
Hearing that so early in the morning made Yan Su blush. âI didnât get the bed myself,â she said. âYour brother-in-law bought me that bed when he bought Luosangâs bed. He said that the large beds are too expensive. He doesnât want to spend too much money on me, so he bought me a simple wooden bed. It cost him two thousand yuan. Did you see your sisterâs luxurious bed made from Italian leather? That one cost sixty thousand.â
Mo Liuxi was speechless. Nian Junting was such a stingy person.
âNo wonder that bed squeaked the other night. Thankfully, nothing really happened, or the bed mightâve fallen apart.â
Yan Su couldnât bear listening to that. A two-thousand-yuan bed wouldnât be that fragile.
âItâs all right. Iâll buy you a bed thatâs even better than my sisterâs,â said Mo Liuxi.
âForget it. My room is too small for a bed like that anyway.â Yan Su shook her head. âCan we stop talking about beds? Letâs have breakfast.â
âAll right.â Mo Liuxi took over the egg. âWhy didnât you make congee? I want congee.â
On hearing that, Yan Su felt uneasy. âDo you like me or my congee? If An Ningâs congee was as good as mine, would you be with her?â
