Once she locked the door, she happily went back to her room.

However, although she was watching TV, her mind was not all attuned to the cliché drama playing.

Her attention was actually drawn downstairs. Turning the TV’s volume very low, she perked her ears for any sound coming from downstairs.

She half-heartedly watched TV while actually looking out for any sound downstairs until it was 10 PM, yet she still heard nothing.

“Tsk!” At quarter to 10, and the man was still not back, she promptly sat up from her comfortable bed and threw the remote control on it.

“That annoying fellow doesn’t even give me a call if he’s not coming back!” she grumbled, frowning slightly.

“So much for waiting for him for so long. Seriously!”

As she nagged, she unexpectedly heard noise from downstairs, which had been silent all this while.

Hm?!

She widened her eyes at the sound.

Could it be...

Is that a*shole back?!

She quickly jumped out of bed and practically ran down the stairs without even wearing her indoor slippers.

Dong, dong, dong! She could hear a series of knocking when she stepped out of her room.

When she heard this, she grew more certain that the man was back!

A scheming and smug smile blossomed on her lips.

Hng! If you make this young lady unhappy, I will also make you unhappy!

Bang, bang, bang!

She slowly made her way down when she heard the knocking getting more hurried.

“Coming, coming. What’s with the knocking!” she loudly remarked with a smile.

Presently, it completely escaped her mind how she had piteously bawled her eyes out in the living room earlier.

Only after she had reached the entrance did she realize that something was off.

That was because, if this were Ji Ziming, would he only knock on the door but remain silent?

According to his temper, he would not be this ‘obedient’ and only knock on the door silently.

“Who is it?” She frowned, the happiness in her voice diminishing.

“Ge Ge, it’s me.”

A gentle male voice came from outside the door.

“...” She took a long pause before she recognized who was outside the door.

“Senior?!” She opened the door and exclaimed upon spotting the man standing outside the door. “Why are you here?”

Fu Mingxuan was wearing a khaki coat as he stood outside.

It’s already so late, so why is Senior Fu at our house?

The man was slightly taken aback at the sight that greeted him when the woman opened the door.

That was because... right now, she was wearing a comical cartoon sleepwear.

Sensing that his line of sight was on her clothes, she realized the unpresentability of her PapaRabbit pink-colored sleepwear.

This was especially since two large rabbit ears were protruding on her shoulders.

“Ah! M-My pyjamas are actually pretty comfy!” she quickly explained, blinking abashedly.

Noting her fluster, he smiled and said, “Mhm. This pyjamas suit you. It looks good on you.”

She became even more embarrassed at this.

“Senior, why did you come over?” She lightly coughed and looked at him curiously.

“Why? Aren’t you going to invite me in before we continue this conversation?” He chuckled, instead.

Realizing this, she quickly invited, “Ah, right. Senior, come in. It’s pretty cold outside.”

“Okay.”

He followed her into the house.

“Senior, drink some tea.” She brewed a cup of tea in the kitchen and served it to him.

“Thanks,” he said gratefully, smiling at her.

“Senior, it’s already so late; why are you here? Do you have something to do here?” She sat down on the sofa opposite him and asked.

“Oh, I’m looking for Ziming.” He gently picked up the cup of steaming tea.

“Huh?”

Confused, she asked, “Looking for Ziming?”

He came here so late to look for Ji Ziming?

Couldn’t he just make a call?

Of course, she did not say this aloud.

“Senior, Ziming is still not back yet, and he may not even come back tonight. You should go back now.” She smiled politely at him.

Hur hur! Of course, even if he comes back tonight, he won’t be entering this house! That’s because it’s already past 10! Don’t even think about entering! she inwardly remarked, feeling slightly discontented.

She was angry not because he did not return before curfew but because he did not even bother informing her that he would not be returning!

“Is that so?” Something flashed past Fu Mingxuan’s eyes as his lips curled up.

“Then, I’ll go back after finishing this cup of tea.”

“Okay!” She nodded with a smile and regarded him in a friendly manner.

“Still... I really didn’t expect that you’d appear in front of me as Ziming’s girlfriend after not seeing you for over a decade.” He took a sip of the piping hot tea and remarked this with amusement.

She also laughed at this and then spoke. “I also didn’t expect for you to become this handsome after not seeing you for over a decade.”

“But... You don’t seem to be as pretty as before.” He grinned at her face without makeup teasingly.

She then took notice of this fact.

“Aye?! Right! I don’t have any makeup on me today, so how did you recognize me at first sight? You don’t even look surprised!” she said, greatly surprised.

Noting her widening eyes until it was so large, he burst out laughing.

“No matter how much you change, I will still recognize you at first sight.”

She was a little stunned at what he had said.

That was because this sentence sounded very much like a confession.

“Ha ha ha. Is that so? I am that easy to identify, huh!” she joked with a dry laugh.

Noting her slight awkwardness, he lightly pursed his lips as he felt an inexplicable sense of anger.
