Xu Youyou quickly declined Mo Shenbai’s offer; she did not want to trouble him. “No need, no need. I’ll only be here for a few days so I’ll make do with it.”

The man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then, he said, “But I don’t want you to make do with it.”

‘Why does my woman have to make do with it?’

Xu Youyou’s heart pounded loudly in her chest, and her ears grew hot. She was the one who was supposed to pursue him, but why did it feel like it was the other way around? After a moment, she said, “There’s really no need. I’ll be back very soon.”

Xu Youyou felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. His words instantly made her feel like this place was not that bad.

Seeing her firm attitude, Mo Shenbai no longer insisted. Nonetheless, he was still very worried. “Let me have a look at the place you’re staying in?”

Xu Youyou hesitated for a moment before she said, “Wait a moment. I’ll call you again.”

After ending the call, Xu Youyou video-called Mo Shenbai.

Soon enough, Mo Shenbai’s face appeared on her phone screen. He was still in the office. His phone was carelessly held up in front of him. He clearly did not consider holding it at a flattering angle. Nonetheless, due to his natural good looks, he still looked very handsome.

Xu Youyou’s heart raced again as she inwardly praised his looks again. ‘How does he look so good all the time?’

Due to the dim light in the room, Mo Shenbai could not see very clearly. He asked, “Are the lights in the room broken?”

The light was so dim that it was as though the room was lit by candles in ancient times.

“Wait a moment,” Xu Youyou said. She got up and turned on the other lights. It was brighter than before, but it was still rather dark compared to Mo Shenbai’s side.

......

“Can you see better now?” Xu Youyou asked, adjusting the angle of the camera.

“Yes,” Mo Shenbai said when he saw her cute face.

Xu Youyou switched to the rear camera to show Mo Shenbai the room as she said, “I’m staying in a single room. There’s one bed, a table, and a chair. The internet here is quite fast so it’s not all bad here…”

Due to the high-speed internet, the video call was rather smooth, and there was no lag.

Mo Shenbai looked at the room that was not even as big as the bathrooms in his house. Apart from the old furniture, even the air-conditioner was old and yellowed. He wondered if it was broken. He felt distressed for her immediately.

After Xu Youyou finished speaking, Mo Shenbai did not say anything. She felt a little awkward so she hurriedly said, “Well, now that you’ve seen the room, you should go and eat now.”

“Are you going to rest?”

“I’m going to take a shower.”

“Don’t end the call. Leave the phone in the room. You go take a shower, and I’ll get something to eat,” Mo Shenbai said when he thought of her being alone in an unfamiliar place. He was so worried that he wanted to stare at her every second.

“Alright,” Xu Youyou said before leaning her phone against a tissue box on the bedside table.

Xu Youyou brought her towel and underwear out of her suitcase before she went into the bathroom. The heater was not working very well so she hurriedly showered. When she was done, she rushed out of the bathroom with only the towel wrapped around her body. She had forgotten about her pajamas.

Fortunately, it was not that cold since the air-conditioner did not seem to be fully working despite being turned on.

She hurriedly put her pajamas on and hung her towel on the clothes rack before she rushed to the bed. She instinctively reached out for her phone, and when her eyes fell on her phone, she saw Mo Shenbai’s face on the screen. It was at this moment that she finally remembered the video call was still ongoing.

Xu Youyou’s mind went blank immediately. Then, two words appeared in her mind: it’s over!

When she finally reacted, she screamed before she quickly ended the call. Then, she shrank into her sleeping bag.
