Chapter 455: Chapter 455: You Really Have a Strong Taste
He had barely left, and she already started to miss him… really though?
Qin Youxuan plops down on the balcony’s tatami mat, resting her hands behind her head as she gazes at the blossoming morning glory vines. She blinks suddenly, overcome with sleepiness.
She turns her face slightly and, laying on the tatami mat, falls asleep.
Single, Hanjie had gone and disappeared.
Every day, Qin Youxuan did nothing but sit and wait for him in the courtyard, or wander around it with Da Bai before resuming her waiting.
He didn’t return for a whole week.
Qin Youxuan was turning into the equivalent of the Waiting Husband Stone.
She’s startled by her buzzing phone.
Spotting his name flash on the screen, she quickly grabs the phone and answers, “Dan Hanjie…”
Her voice breaks, and she chokes up as soon as she begins to speak.
There’s a lazy drawl in Dan Hanjie’s magnetic voice on the other end of the line, tainted with an undertone of exhaustion.
“Not at all. I was just wondering what gift you’re planning to get me this time as an apology for breaking your word again.”
She missed him, missed him a lot…
“What do you want?” Dan Hanjie responds softly, his voice lightening, appearing to be in a good mood.
Qin Youxuan silently cries in her heart.
But what escapes her lips is, “Can I give you a sound thrashing for once?”
“Are you implying that I should buy a whip? Qin Youxuan, you have some strong tastes, enjoy a bit of sadomasochism, S-M?”
Whoever said she enjoyed that!
What she wanted was to really bash him up, not the naughty kind.
“When are you coming back?” After a little chatter, Qin Youxuan can’t hold back her line of questioning.
She isn’t a clingy woman. This is the first time she is so eager to see someone, to ensure he’s safe.
“I heard from the butler, you’ve been waking up in the middle of the night. What’s up?” Instead of answering her question, he asks her, his voice heavy.
“Nothing really, just a bit of nightmare. I wake up, head downstairs, and drink some water. The butler has been snitching on me.” Qin Youxuan puckers her lips, grumbling.
Ever since she left Extreme Love Island, her sleep quality has deteriorated. She often has nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.
And the same nightmare keeps repeating.
Initially, Qin Youxuan thought she just had insomnia due to Dan Hanjie’s deceit causing her discomfort.
But now that she had let it go, there was no sign of the insomnia or nightmares easing up.
With Dan Hanjie gone these few days, she gets even more restless, often jolting awake several times a night.
When she can’t sleep, she’d head downstairs for a drink. Clearly, the butler spotted her one of those times and ratted her out.
She hadn’t wanted him to know about such trivial matters.
Yao’s warning had been an alarm for her.
Dan Hanjie cares for her a hundred times more than she does for him.
Right now, he’s somewhere out there, in the face of grave danger. She can’t distract him anymore…
“There’s no such thing as a small issue concerning you.” Dan Hanjie sounds worried, “I’ll have the butler arrange a doctor for you.”
“Dan Hanjie, don’t worry, I just can’t sleep. I am not sick.”
“Insomnia is a sickness.”
“What about lovesickness then?” Qin Youxuan cooly adds, waiting for his response.
After a long silence, there’s no sound on the other end of the line.
Qin Youxuan pulls the phone away to check whether the call had been disconnected. Seeing that it hadn’t, she brings it back to her ear and calls him again.
After a moment, she finally hears his leisurely response.
Turns out, he wasn’t listening to her at all just now?
