Lin Qiong: !!!

Lin Qiong quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes wide open.

The man turned to look at her, and Lin Qiong quickly lowered her hand, intending to cover up the surprise with a smile.

Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow. "What was that sound just now?"

Lin Qiong's fair face was full of an innocent expression, her clear eyes looking at the other person, and she shook her head, "No."

"Hmm?" the man uttered a deep syllable, clearly expressing his doubt.

Lin Qiong pretended to be stupid and said, "I was talking to you just now."

Fu Xingyun crossed his arms and looked at him, "And then?"

Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "and uttered sounds of love."

Fu Xingyun: ...

Silence fell once again. The man stared at her, and Lin Qiong stood motionless, but her heart was pounding with panic.

Those two bowls of egg noodles were way too much.

Fu Xingyun gave him another deep look before turning around to input the elevator fingerprint.

"belch!"

The man turned around alertly.

Lin Qiong looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

Fu Xingyun turned his head.

"belch!"

The two locked eyes.

Lin Qiong: ...

Fu Xingyun glanced at Lin Qiong's lips, "Say a few words to me."

Lin Qiong, barely holding back her breath, quickly asked, "What did you say?"

"Say what you usually say."

Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "This is too embarrassing for an old married couple like us."

This time, Fu Xingyun didn't turn his head, but just kept looking at the other person.

One second, two seconds...

"belch!"

Lin Qiong: !

Fu Xingyun looked at him calmly, "I heard you."

Lin Qiong: "You don't."

Fu Xingyun spoke again, "I heard you."

"Hiccup! You misheard."

This damn stubbornness.

Having already been discovered, Lin Qiong, seemingly unfazed, finally let out a series of hiccups: "Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!"

Whether it was because she was too full or because she was frightened by the man's gaze earlier, Lin Qiong was now hiccuping nonstop.

But her face remained stubborn. "You're not here, hiccup... Dinner, hiccup... I can't eat."

"..."

Fu Xingyun stared at him blankly.

Lin Qiong spoke haltingly due to her incessant hiccups, "Could you... not... look at me like that?"

Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow, "Feeling guilty about your lie."

Lin Qiong: "I'm shy because of our...love."

"..."

Fu Xingyun looked at the person, then sighed.

Lin Qiong: ?

What does that mean?

"Since you haven't eaten, let's go downstairs and eat together."

Lin Qiong: "Didn't you... not believe me?"

Fu Xingyun retorted, "Didn't you deny it?"

Fu Xingyun then pressed his fingerprint, and Lin Qiong reluctantly led the people to the restaurant.

Looking at the mountain peaks in the bowl in his hand, he then looked at the basin in the bowl in Lin Qiong's hand.

Fu Xingyun spoke up, "That's all we'll eat."

Lin Qiong nodded, "Burp!"

Fu Xingyun: "This isn't like you."

"..." Lin Qiong: "This is me."

Fu Xingyun glanced at his rice bowl and shook his head.

Lin Qiong: "What's wrong?"

Fu Xingyun: "Your job wasn't like this before."

Lin Qiong asked in a puzzled voice, "What is it?"

Fu Xingyun spoke softly, “The mountains dance like silver snakes, and the plains gallop like wax elephants.”

Lin Qiong: ?

Fu Xingyun: "Wanting to compete with the heavens in height"

"..."

Lin Qiong forced herself to find an excuse, "Because of the argument... my appetite has shrunk."

Then she changed the subject, "You haven't eaten all day... Go eat, burp!"

As she spoke, Lin Qiong buried her head in the rice in her bowl.

I just finished eating two bowls of egg noodles not long ago, and now I'm eating again and I'm really stuffed.

Fortunately, there wasn't much left; the bowl was almost empty in just two bites. Just as Lin Qiong was about to clear the bowl, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of her, and a whole roasted chicken leg clattered into the bowl.

Lin Qiong puffed out her cheeks and looked up at people.

Fu Xingyun looked at him and said, "Eat more."

Lin Qiong glanced at the man, then at the chicken leg in the bowl. "You did this on purpose."

Fu Xingyun denied it, saying, "Of course not."

Lin Qiong muttered under her breath, "Then why did you put food on my plate?"

Fu Xingyun: "I did it on purpose."

Lin Qiong: ...

Lin Qiong reached out and placed the chicken leg into the other person's bowl, saying, "You eat it."

Fu Xingyun was about to speak when he saw the young man say, "I think the reason we were able to make up so quickly must be because God saw my heart-wrenching sincerity."

Fu Xingyun raised an eyebrow. "So?"

Lin Qiong looked devoutly at God, "I will repay the favor by eating vegetarian food for three days."

"..."

It was already 11 p.m. when they finished their meal. Lin Qiong was almost dozing off as she escorted Fu Xingyun back to his room.

After taking a shower, Lin Qiong turned off the lights and lay down on the bed, intending to drift off to sleep.

The sky was pitch black and the night was deep, with cicadas chirping incessantly in the grass.

A sudden ringing of a bell pierced the night, playing incessantly in Lin Qiong's ears.

Lin Qiong: !!!

It's dawn! Didn't he just lie down?

Then I looked out the window and saw only endless night.

Lin Qiong picked up her phone.

3 a.m....

Lin Qiong: :) I'm fine

Caller ID: Wang Cheng...

Lin Qiong took a deep breath and answered the phone, "You'd better have something earth-shattering to say."

Wang Cheng's excited voice, like a roar, came from the other side, "Lin Qiong!!!"

Buzz ———

Lin Qiong instantly felt a line flash through her mind, and her ears were filled with a buzzing sound as if she had gone deaf.

Lin Qiong moved the phone away from her ear, still a little confused, but she still asked, "Do you know what time it is?"

It was pitch black outside, and even stray cats didn't come out at this time.

Wang Cheng glanced at his phone. "Three o'clock."

This sentence seems to refer to 3 PM.

Lin Qiong took a deep breath. "I advise you to lower your voice."

Wang Cheng was extremely agitated. "Why? I can't control myself!"

Lin Qiong's hair was disheveled. "I'm suing you for disturbing the peace."

Wang Cheng: "There's no one next door to my house, so no neighbors will complain about me."

Lin Qiong: "I'm talking about myself."

"..."

Wang Cheng hesitated for a moment, as it did seem a bit late, "How about I talk about it later?"

The moment I finished speaking, my phone beeped.

Wang Cheng: ...

Lin Qiong drifted off to sleep again, only to have the phone ring as expected at six in the morning.

As soon as the call connected, Wang Cheng's excited voice came through again, "Lin Qiong!!!"

This damn sense of familiarity.

Wang Cheng said he would talk about it later, which was only three hours later.

Very good, that's really diligent.

Looking out the window at the already high summer morning sun, Lin Qiong, with dark circles under her eyes, numbly leaned against the headboard. "Do you know what time it is?"

Wang Cheng's voice was excited, oblivious to the danger, "Six o'clock!"

What time did you go to sleep last night?

Without hesitation, Wang Cheng replied, "I went to sleep right after talking to you on the phone."

Lin Qiong's tired voice came faintly from the phone, "I sleep at three and wake up at six. The urn is rectangular."

"..."
