But still, the other end of the line suspected something was wrong, âYeah, why did you answer the phone when I called at midnight? Something is amiss!â
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up.â
âThere is, there is.â The other person quickly interrupted, âTian Ye said he was organizing a class reunion soon, which confused me. There are only four of us in Nancheng, whatâs the point of a reunion? Iâm wondering what you thinkâ¦â
âIâm busy.â
âJust as I thought, you definitely wouldnât agree. Your little princess is too strict. Tian Ye is so pretty, and now sheâs broken up with Ye Bei and is single again. Ok, brother, Iâll continue to drink, bye.â
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai put down his cell phone, saw the green icon on the screen, slid his hands casually and opened WeChat.
âBaby Yiyiâ icon silently lay there, with no new messages.
The nickname was something that Mo Weiyi had forced him to change after they got married, as for his nickname in her WeChat was âKiss Xiaobaiâ.
The manâs thin lips slightly pursed together. A few seconds later, he suddenly got out of bed.
He stood in front of the wardrobe in the room and, without hesitation, opened the door.
The side of the bedroom closet naturally held the clothes most frequently worn this season. However, now the left side was neatly arranged menâs shirts, suits⦠while the right side was empty.
When he pulled open the drawer below, the left side is still neatly arranged menâs underwear, the right sideâ¦

Ten minutes later, there was a hurried knocking sound coming from downstairs.
Zhou rushed to put on her coat and open the door, only to see Xiao Yebai standing in front of the door with a gloomy and handsome face. The corridor and living room outside hadnât turned on the lights, the light from the bedroom shining on the manâs face had truly given her a fright.
âMr. Xiao, whatâs wrong?â Her voice was trembling.
Xiao Yebai just looked at her gloomily, then finally, his thin lips moved, ââ¦â
Zhou stared at him blankly.
After waiting for a long time, he still didnât speak.
âMr. Xiao, you ⦠you â¦â
Xiao Yebai suddenly turned and left.
Zhou just stood there, looking confused.
What just happened to Mr. Xiao?
Arriving to knock at the door in the middle of the night without a word, and leaving again without a word?
Checking the time, it was half past midnight.
Could he be sleepwalking?
God, this frightened me.
Zhou quickly shut the door.
I have never heard from Xiao that he sleepwalks before, I better ask Yang, who took care of Mr. Xiao before, about it. This is too scary.
**
Xiao Yebai returned to the bedroom upstairs and closed the door.
The room was quiet again.
He came to a side cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, held the glass, and went to the balcony outside.
Pushing open the window, the outside night was lonely, with a cold wind.
The man stood on the balcony, poured a glass of red wine, elegantly held the wine glass and slowly sipped.
The dim light cut a mysterious shadow on his handsome profile.
It wasnât until he had slowly finished a bottle of red wine that the restlessness deep inside his body calmed down.
He turned and returned to the bedroom.
Not long after, the light in the bedroom went out.
**
The next morning.
Xiao Yebai went downstairs at seven oâclock.
âMr. Xiao.â
Zhou was used to his early rising, even though it was the weekend.
Probably had some social engagements.
After preparing the breakfast and seeing Xiao Yebai sit at the table, looking as elegant as ever, she cautiously asked, âMr. Xiao, were you okay last night?â
Xiao Yebai casually sipped his coffee, his expression normal, âWhat happened?â
Zhouâs heart sank, could it really have been sleepwalking?
âMr. Xiao, you came downstairs looking for me last night out of the blue, donât you remember?â she hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yebai was still nonchalant, âI donât remember.â
Zhouâs face turned pale: ââ¦â
Was he really sleepwalking?
This is too scary.
If the princess is not at home in the future, does this mean he will be knocking on her door every night?
This is bad; she is old and canât handle this kind of scare.
As soon as Xiao Yebai finished tidying up and left, Aunt Zhou immediately called Mo Weiyi.
**
At the girlsâ dormitory, Mo Weiyi was already forcibly awakened.
Because last night was her first time living apart after her marriage, she tossed and turned and couldnât sleep. As soon as she finally fell asleep, she was awakened by Su Wanwan.
She checked the time, it was only seven oâclock.
âWhy are you getting up so early on a Saturday?â Mo Weiyi whined from under the blankets, âBaby Wanwan, Iâm sleepyâ¦.â
âWerenât you asleep by ten oâclock last night? Now itâs seven oâclock, youâve slept for nine hours and youâre still sleepy, are you a pig?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Wanwan was already dressed in lightweight sportswear, she came over, pulling at the blanket, âGet up, come running with me, then weâll have breakfast and go study!â
Mo Weiyiâs face scrunches up, âItâs Saturday, weâve no classes, why do we have to run, itâs so cold outside!â
âPhysical fitness to defend our homeland!â Su Wanwan explained, warming up, brimming with vitality.
She saw that Mo Weiyi had closed her eyes again, so she went straight to lift up the blanket, lightly slapping her on her bum.
âAh!â Mo Weiyi screamed.
She was instantly reminded of the fear of being under Su Wanwanâs command when she was in high school.
Slightly regretful, what should she do now?
âHurry up and get up!â Su Wanwan slapped her again, then played her trump card, âIf you donât get up, I wonât sleep with you tonight!â
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi reluctantly sat up, then⦠âI didnât bring any workout clothes or running shoes.â
As a little princess, she naturally had a preference for ladylike clothes and mostly brought these types of outfits yesterday.
âWait until tomorrow to run with you, today, let Aunt Zhou bring me my clothes and shoes. You go by yourself, Iâll continue to sleepâ¦.â
She was interrupted by Su Wanwan before she could finish, âWear mine, Iâll go get them.â
Then she rapidly dashed to the next room.
ââ¦â Mo Weiyi had a gloomy look on her face.
Could she not run? She really hated running, even the thought of going out in this freezing weather was unbearableâ¦..
Her phone suddenly rang, Mo Weiyi found her mobile under the pillow.
Seeing it was Aunt Zhou, she immediately answered, âAunt Zhou, whatâs up?â
âPrincess.â Aunt Zhouâs voice was very anxious, âWhat to do, Young Master Xiaoâ¦heâs terrifying!â
Mo Weiyi clutched her phone tighter, âWhat happened to him?â
âYoung Master Xiao was sleepwalking!â
Mo Weiyi blinked, âSleepwalking?â
âYes, it was past midnight yesterday when he suddenly came knocking on my door. I opened the door and he didnât say a word and just walked away.â
Mo Weiyi sighed, âHe probably needed something from you.â
âNo, I specifically asked him earlier, he doesnât remember knocking on my door last night. Isnât this sleepwalking, princess? Did Young Master Xiao used to sleepwalk?â
Mo Weiyi tilted her head, âNo.â
âThatâs strange.â
At this moment, Su Wanwan came back with clothes.
Mo Weiyi had to say, âAunt Zhou, I have to hang up, Iâm going running.â
âWhat?â Aunt Zhou was again taken aback.
The little princess, who had been pampered and spoiled all her life, was actually getting up to run at seven oâclock?
Theyâve gone mad!
Theyâre all mad!
**
Although Mo Weiyi was a centimeter or two taller than Su Wanwan their bodily builds were similar so Su Wanwanâs clothes and shoes fit her perfectly.
Accompanying Su Wanwan downstairs after dawdling and dilly-dallying, they arrived on the school playground at eight oâclock.
They thought there wouldnât be many people around, but surprisinglyâ¦those who played football were playing, those who ran were running, and there were even some reading their textbooks.
Are they all monsters? Mo Weiyi pouted, pulling her scarf up again.
Itâs really cold.
âLetâs go, run for half an hour then go for breakfast.â Su Wanwan said, then began to run, âStick with me! Faster!â
Mo Weiyi could only run after her.
However, she had not exercised for years, and after running less than a lap, she was out of breath. Finally, she could not stand it anymore and stopped her pace, âI canât⦠I need to rest⦠for a while.â
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, speechless, and ran off on her own.
Mo Weiyi bent over, clutching her chest, feeling as though her heart was about to jump out, breathless and dizzy, her vision dimming.
Across the playground, a tall and stern man stood watching.
He focused on the little woman standing there.
Compared with the other students, even in simple hoodie, gray joggers, and black sneakers, her head of unruly, bushy curls made her stand out.
He narrowed his dark eyes, and was about to go over, when aâ¦boy? appeared beside Mo Weiyi.
