Chapter 82
◎Oh my god, what should I do? He is pretending to be pitiful◎
Mu'an Jiaxi walked up to him and patted his cheek, calling his name over and over, "Mr. Amuro, Mr. Amuro, Amuro Toru." But he couldn't be woken up no matter what he did, as if he had really fainted.
I panicked, wondering if I'd fainted. My first reaction, without further doubt, was to grab my phone and call an ambulance.
But when the number was pressed, the person on the sofa who was originally unconscious suddenly made a sound, "Well, what's wrong with me?" The voice was very light and weak.
Mu An Jiaxi paused, narrowing her eyes as she studied him. She hadn't been sure at first, but now she was certain he was acting with her. It was so convincing, she almost thought he'd fainted, but he wasn't scared to death.
I thought to myself: With such great acting skills, it's a shame you don't enter the entertainment industry. You could even be awarded an Oscar.
Her eyes were dead, her cell phone was on the coffee table behind her, her arms were folded in front of her chest, and she just looked at him silently, as if she was watching a show, to see what tricks he could come up with.
Even if Muan Jiaxi didn't say anything, Amuro Toru could still finish the scene calmly and without changing his expression. As if he didn't notice her expression, he continued weakly: "I feel so bad, Jiaxi, do I have a fever?"
She sneered and said, "Mr. Amuro, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
He wailed, "Oh, Jia Xi, I'm dizzy and can't see clearly." He covered his head and shook it, saying, "It seems I can't go home tonight. I'll just stay here. I don't think Miss Jia Xi would kick a patient out of the house in the middle of the night."
Mu'an Jiaxi felt his back teeth itching. What a shameless person! How could he be so shameless? He glared at him fiercely and thought to himself: I'm so angry.
Toru Amuro automatically ignored all of this and pretended not to see it. He stood up on his own and walked towards the guest room very skillfully. He opened the door and turned around before entering and said, "It's not a serious problem. You don't have to worry or take care of me. I can just rest for a night. Good night." After that, he closed the door.
Mu An Jiaxi just watched him move in with just a few words, all the words stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. She still lost this battle. After all, she was still a little green compared to him, not even worth mentioning.
Looking at the tightly closed door, he felt his teeth itching. His mind went blank for a moment and he had no words left. He could only say, "I... I... I'm going to bed too." Then he turned around and went back to his room.
He also said that he had a fever and felt dizzy, but looking at his mental state and pace, he was better than a normal person.
Finally I calmed down and thought: It's not like I haven't lived here before, and we're not sleeping in the same bed, so let him be.
…………
The next day, 7 a.m.
Mu'an Jiaxi was half asleep and half awake when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He grabbed the quilt to cover his head in annoyance, turned to the other side, and continued to sleep, pretending not to hear it.
The knocking on the door didn't stop, and even became louder and louder. I was so annoyed that I couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, I had no choice but to get up, put on my slippers, and got up in anger. I couldn't control my temper for a moment and shouted angrily: "Who is it? Are you done yet? Knock, knock, knock, knock on your head, you are so annoying..."
The person who was originally cursing suddenly stopped talking the moment he opened the door and saw the person outside, and all the words were swallowed into his stomach.
I wondered in my heart how I could have forgotten about Toru Amuro.
Mu'an Jiaxi was probably a little confused because he had just woken up, and he didn't remember at all that a man had stayed in his house last night.
Her expression changed immediately, and she put on a smile and said, "It's Mr. Amuro, you haven't left yet." Then she realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself, "I mean, you haven't gone to work yet."
Amuro Toru's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a faint smile, and he said gently: "It's still early, I have prepared breakfast, come out and eat."
She said, "Oh, I'll wash up first." Then she turned and went back into the bathroom, washed her face and brushed her teeth.
When she came out again, Toru Amuro was already sitting on the sofa. There were two servings of food on the coffee table in front of him, but he didn't move them, as if he was waiting for her to eat together.
She walked over and took a look. These ingredients were not in her refrigerator. They must have been bought by Toru Amuro early in the morning. Her breakfast was still her favorite milk and sandwiches.
After breakfast, Toru Amuro also went out to work. After watching him leave, Jia Xi Muan went back to her room and took a nap. Because she slept too late last night, she was half awake and half fuzzy after breakfast, and her mind was like a mess.
When I woke up again, it was already 1:00 in the afternoon. I had a good sleep and felt refreshed and full of energy, as if I had been fully charged and had endless energy.
It was already past lunchtime, but she hadn't eaten yet. Mu'an Jiaxi was about to grab her keys and go out to eat, but then something struck her and she returned to the kitchen. She walked over to the refrigerator and saw a note taped to it, "Buying out food all the time is unhealthy. I've prepared lunch and dinner for you. Just heat them up."
It was just a small note, but Mu An Jiaxi felt warm in his heart. He thought that it would be great if Amuro Toru moved back so that he wouldn't have to worry about food every day.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I quickly shook my head to get rid of it. What was I thinking? I told myself over and over again in my heart that I should keep a distance from him.
But even if she said it, she couldn't do it sometimes. Whenever Amuro Toru got a little closer, she couldn't resist. Although she half-heartedly refused at first, she always surrendered in the end and indulged in his tenderness.
I can only say that when facing the person you like, sometimes you really can't do anything that goes against your heart.
She opened the refrigerator door, and the once empty fridge was now crammed with food. Two square lunch boxes sat on top. Muan Jiaxi reached out and took one down. It was curry rice. Then she took down another bowl. This one was ramen. The presentation was beautiful, and the sight of it was so appetizing that it made one want to pick up their chopsticks and taste the delicious food.
I put the ramen back in the refrigerator, took the curry rice to the microwave, put the food box in, set the time, closed the microwave door, walked back to the living room and waited slowly.
After thinking for a moment, I picked up my phone and sent a text message, "Thank you for the food, Mr. Amuro. You've worked hard."
Then he put his phone on the coffee table, picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and was about to change the channel when, "Ding." The phone rang and a text message came in.
Muan Jiaxi took the phone and took a look. It was Toru Amuro's reply, "I will be back late tonight. Remember to leave the door open for me."
She showed an incredible expression and quickly replied, "You are coming over tonight. Don't you have a house? Why do you want to stay at my place?"
Amuro Toru replied quickly, "My rental house is leaking and infested with rats. It's uninhabitable. So until I find a new house, I have nowhere to live. You don't want me to live on the streets, right? Please take me in."
Mu Anjiaxi's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: Everything was fine a few days ago, but so many problems occurred in just one night, are you trying to scare me?
Then she replied: "Then you can stay in a hotel. It's not suitable for us to be alone."
Amuro Toru shamelessly replied: "Staying in a hotel is so expensive. I have to save my money to marry you in the future. I have to plan for our future."
Her face flushed, and she nearly dropped her phone. This Amuro Toru dared to say anything. Who said she was going to marry him? She simply ignored his words and stopped arguing with him. She made the final decision, "It's settled. You stay at the hotel. Okay."
After sending this message, Amuro Toru never replied again. Mu An Jiaxi thought he agreed and didn't pay much attention to it. When the timer of the microwave oven was up, it made a "ding" sound.
Her attention was also diverted. She put down her phone, went into the kitchen, opened the microwave door and took out the rice. She went back to the living room, pulled over the heat insulation pad, put the lunch box on it, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Although Mu'an Jiaxi had put this matter behind him, he did not forget it. He thought about it from time to time. It was okay in the afternoon, but he thought about it more at night.
Since it was 10 o'clock, when Toru Amuro was supposed to get off work, she kept looking at the time, hoping that he would come but not wanting him to come at the same time. After waiting for more than two hours, there was still no knock on the door, and she felt a little depressed.
She didn't wait any longer, thinking that he really wouldn't come. She turned off the lights and returned to her room. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and prepared to go to sleep. After an unknown amount of time, she gradually fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, she heard the ringing of her cell phone, "Ring~Ring~"
I woke up drowsily, groping for the bedside table. After clattering things to the floor, I finally found my phone. I blearily opened one eye, but the light was too bright to see the number. I pressed the call button and mumbled, "Hello, who is this?"
With his eyes closed, he kept scrolling down his phone, looking like he was about to fall asleep again.
"It's me, open the door."
Mu'an Jiaxi's brain had frozen. In his confusion, he couldn't hear who the voice was. He just said, "I don't know. I'm hanging up." The voice was as small as a mosquito, and the phone had already slid to his chin.
Just when he was about to go on strike, a voice came from the other end without a word, "I am Toru Amuro." which startled Mu An Jiaxi, who was drowsy and about to fall asleep, and he sat up.
I quickly threw off the quilt, got up, turned on the light, picked up my cell phone and looked at the number carefully. It was indeed Toru Amuro. I looked at the time and it was two o'clock in the morning.
My first reaction was that it was so late, it would be a bit unethical to turn him away. My second reaction was that it was so late, and he came to disturb me instead of staying in a hotel. Was he doing it on purpose, deliberately betting that I would be soft-hearted and let him in? What a good idea.
Then he said to himself, "Just pretend I didn't hear it. As long as I don't open the door, he will go to the hotel by himself. Yes, I will continue to sleep."
As he said this, he covered himself with the quilt, turned off the lights, and lay straight like a zombie, looking at the ceiling. His cell phone was placed next to his pillow, and he didn't hang up the call, still on the line.
Just as Mu'an Jiaxi was pretending to sleep, a voice came from the phone, saying pitifully, "Jiaxi, I'm so cold. I didn't bring a coat today. It's so windy outside now, and I'm really cold."
Mu'an Jiaxi: "…………"
After a moment, the voice came again and said, "I didn't eat dinner, and now I'm very hungry. The shops outside are closed, and I have no place to eat."
Mu'an Jiaxi's heart was shaken and cracks began to appear. He kept hypnotizing himself in his heart: He must be playing pity on me to trick me. I can't be fooled, I can't be fooled.
