Chapter 399: That photo…
Fang Chixia has long been awakened by the sound of footsteps downstairs. Now, she is completely sober.
Feeling his breath behind her, she elbowed him and forcefully pushed him away.
Her resistance stunned Luo Yibei for a moment.
What's wrong?
With a frown on his face and an outstretched arm, he dragged her back into his arms again.
He seemed to be sticking to his guns, and fearing of quarreling with him, Fang Chixia closed her eyes and played asleep.
Luo Yibei really wasn't planning on doing anything, it was just his habit of wanting to hug her upon return. So there he hugged her from behind, resting her back against his chest, with the warmth of the two blending together. He stayed lying with her in this posture for a while, before going to the bathroom for a shower.
Listening to the gushing water in the bathroom, Fang Chixia's closed eyes opened wide.
She glanced sideways, her gaze fixed on the direction he left.
It was a surprise that Luo Yibei still came back given the time of the night.
She didn't expect him to come home even though it was far into the night.
And still coming back from Su Ran's…
But what more than this was incomprehensible?
Fang Chixia didn't dwell on it, wrapped herself in the sheet and wiggled farthest from his pillow.
Luo Yibei, who came out a few minutes later and found her about to fall off at the edge of the bed, frowned.
He vaguely sensed Fang Chixia deliberately distancing herself from him, but couldn't understand why.
He stared at her for a while, walked over, and lay sideways behind her, this time, without touching her.
Watching her back calmly, Luo Yibei began reflecting on his behavior tonight.
What did he do to earn her alienation again?
Luo Yibei just couldn't figure it out.
He fell asleep still in confusion and woke up earlier than Fang Chixia the next day.
He did n't eat anything at the party last night. He woke up a bit hungry this morning, so he changed his pajamas and went downstairs to the kitchen. He opened the fridge, wanting to see if there was anything to fill his belly with, but was surprised to find some dishes inside. Several of which were well garnished Western cuisine.
The four plates, although below average, clearly were garnished attentively.
Luo Yibei stared at the contents of the fridge for a while, then recalled the burnt candles on the table, then frowned again.
Xiao Zuo said that there might be surprises when he returns.
Was he referring to this?
It was the weekend.
Fang Chixia was still sleeping upstairs. She didn’t know what had happened to her. She has always woken up early, but today she was so tired that she didn’t want to open her eyes.
When the bed was left wide with Luo Yibei's absence, she wrapped herself in a mass and hibernated.
Luo Yibei pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing her all but covered up, he strode to the sofa near her and sat down.
When he sat down, he was shocked by the cold object.
Taking a look, it was a mobile phone.
Fang Chixia's.
Fang Chixia spent a long time sitting on the sofa chair last night, and when she slept, she left her cell phone directly there.
Luo Yibei stared at her cell phone, and urged by an invisible pull, he suddenly wanted to open it.
He actually wanted to see her call history and see if she made a call, but he didn’t receive it again.
But when he swiped the screen, it opened to her gallery, and one photo was left on display there.
That picture was the one Fang Chixia took after serving dinner last night…
