Luo Yibei stared at her in disbelief.
No dinner was prepared for him!
He stayed with Su Ran for so long. Su Ran proposed a total of five times for him to have dinner together, but he refused in order to come back and have dinner with her!
It’s eleven o’clock, but nothing's ready for him!
Luo Yi Bei was a bit perplexed. He took a few steps over and pulled her towards the kitchen, “Then go prepare now!”
“You haven’t eaten yet?” Fang Chixia walked passively towards the kitchen, seemingly unable to believe it.
“Hmm.” Luo Yibei snorted indifferently.
Fang Chixia froze and looked up at him in surprise.
Luo Yibei didn’t explain and took it upon himself to rummage through the fridge to find the same ingredients and handed them all to her.
Fang Chixia stared blankly at the ingredients in her hand in a stupor.
She was actually a little annoyed that he stayed at Su Ran’s so late tonight, but her heart felt much better that he finally chose to come back.
She walked to the countertop and cooked him a paella.
After tossing and waiting for Luo Yibei to finish it, it was almost half past twelve.
The next day was Sunday.
Luo Yibei didn't mean to leave, so he remained in the apartment.
In the afternoon, the two were sitting on Fang Chixia’s tiny balcony, one with a notebook busy with company documents, the other casually nestled in a chair reading a book.
Looking at Luo Yibei and thinking of him, who could be called away by Su Ran’s phone call, Fang Chixia closed the book in her hand, and asked him nonchalantly, “You and Su Ran are very close, right?”
"How did you come up with that conclusion?" Luo Yibei's attention was on the Notebook in front of him.
Fang Chixia snickered in her heart. There's no need to think about it, right? Wasn't it obvious?
Would he be called away with just a phone call if they didn't have a close relationship?
“What is your relationship?” Fang Chixia asked again.
What she really wanted to ask was why he was so good to Su Ran!
“You’re interested?” The afterglow from the corner of Luo Yibei’s eyes cast a sidelong glance at her, and as soon as the notebook in his hand was released, his face slowly lifted.
Fang Chixia was discomfited by the directness of his gaze. It made her realize that she was too privy about his personal affairs.
"Just treat it as if you heard nothing." She averted her eyes somewhere. She pushed the chair back to stand up, but Luo Yibei pulled her in.
Fang Chixia was startled, her eyes glanced at his hand and then shifted to his face.
It took a moment for Luo Yibei to gather his thoughts and said slowly, “When I was very young, Su Ran once suffered an injury because of me.”
Fang Chixia looked at him calmly and followed subconsciously, "What injury?"
Luo Yibei’s gaze dropped as if falling into some sort of memory.
After a long while, he said, "I once fell into the water when I was a child and she saved me. Because of the fall, she suffered from a visual impairment for a long time, and it took years for her to be cured.”
Fang Chixia's eyes widened in stupefaction.
Luo Yibei did not seem to want to mention this, waved his thoughts away, pulled her into his arms, leaned against the back of the chair behind him. His fingertips clasped her small jaws fixed and stared at her for a while, asking leisurely, “Why did you suddenly ask this?”
"Didn't you say suddenly? It just occurred to me so I asked." Fang Chixia blinked.
Luo Yibei: "…."
