When Lou Xi woke up, it was already afternoon. She muddled through for quite a while, feeling too exhausted to say a word!
But it’s already afternoon now! She had class today!
She looked at the clock on the bedside table, realizing that even if she moved at light speed to get to school, she would still miss the teacher’s roll call!
Her attendance, her scholarship!
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. Lou Xi got out of bed to grab her phone, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt her legs were weak.
Lou Xi’s face reddened instantly, even though Qin Mobai wasn’t in front of her, she still felt shy.
She finally managed to walk over and pick up the phone, and seeing Qin Mobai’s name on the caller ID made her cheeks flush even more.
After the phone rang for a long time, Lou Xi finally answered it.
"Did I wake you?" Qin Mobai’s gentle voice drifted over from the other end, so full of tenderness it almost dripped with sweetness.
Lou Xi had heard before.
Before being together, everything would go according to the woman’s wishes—even if she wanted the moon from the sky, he’d find a way to get it for her.
After being together, everything has to go according to the man’s wishes. Otherwise, he might kick the woman away, freeing himself to find someone new.
But Qin Mobai didn’t follow that pattern; he was much more gentle than before.
Oh, if Qin Mobai was considered gentle before, perhaps there wouldn’t be any gentle people left in the world!
"Just woke up." Lou Xi, however, seemed in low spirits, "Why didn’t you wake me up? It’s already afternoon, I can’t attend my class now! I’ll never be able to—"
"I already took care of leave for you, have a good rest." Qin Mobai’s last sentence was very discreet.
"If it weren’t for you—" Lou Xi said half of it, then realized that if she continued discussing this with Qin Mobai, no matter what, she’d end up at a disadvantage.
"What?" Qin Mobai’s enticing voice came through the phone, and Lou Xi’s previously tense body seemed to relax immediately.
She sighed and walked out.
The call hadn’t ended, she remembered her water glass was upstairs after going down, so she went back up.
"Did you really handle the leave for me? How could you get leave for me? Now everyone’s going to misunderstand us again!"
Lou Xi spoke as she walked, wondering if she had used up too much energy last night, as even climbing one flight of stairs felt tiring now.
