Chapter 417 Wandering at Night



Xia Li's room has no secrets.

Nothing special.

Just like a normal person's room, there was a somewhat old desk and a bed that was also quite old, and the bed wasn't very big.

It should be 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long—more than enough for Xia Li, of course.

The wardrobe was tightly closed.

Even if Li Si were the most immoral person, he wouldn't think to open the wardrobe at this time to see what was inside.

That would be way too much.

The room wasn't big.

There was nothing like the "hidden paradise" or "this and that" that Lu Yibei had told Ji Qingqian.

However, Li Si had nothing to be disappointed about.

He had already guessed that the troublemaking couple was simply teasing him.

Li Si lay in bed.

Xia Li always seemed afraid of catching a cold, so she wore a lot of clothes and had a very warm blanket. With two thick blankets covering her, Li Si felt not only a sense of security but also a bit of heaviness.

"You stay asleep, I'll go out to buy medicine."

Xia Li said she put the white down jacket back on.

Xia Li wasn't the kind of girl with fair skin and beautiful features; her skin tone was more of a wheat color, or to put it bluntly, rather dark.

Girls like this generally don't match well with snow-white clothes.

Because this would make their skin tone appear darker.

There's a saying that goes something like this.

It's said that fair skin can cover up a hundred flaws.

The good thing is that Xia Li isn't ugly, so she doesn't need to use white to cover it up.

"Okay, wear more clothes, be careful not to catch a cold," Li Si said.

Xia Li twitched her eyelids, stuck out her tongue, and said disdainfully, "Do you think I'm like you? So weak and frail."

Li Si could only manage a wry smile.

Xia Li slammed the door shut.

The soundproofing wasn't good, and Li Si could hear Xia's mother outside the door scolding her: "Be quiet!"

Under the warm yellow light, Li Si looked around the room again.

Next to the desk, there is a small bookshelf.

There weren't many books on the bookshelf; most of them were comics.

Moreover, some of them are quite old and no longer look brand new.

"...Dragon Ball."

"...Doraemon."

"...Oolong Courtyard".

Oolong Courtyard?

"—I was wondering why those two Oolong Courtyard books on Xia Tudou's bookshelf looked so familiar."

It was a bit cold. Walking in the cold wind, Lu Yibei had his hands in his pockets. He said to his girlfriend, who was doing the same thing, "So she borrowed money from me back then and never paid it back."

As he spoke.

Lu Yibei looked back.

They have already left the residential area.

Of course, you can't see Xia Tudou's house either.

But Lu Yibei still couldn't help but sigh:

"Who moves into their partner's house for the first time, and not just stay in the guest room, but in their partner's room—"

However, to be honest, Xia Tudou's house doesn't have any guest rooms.

Ji Qingqian pulled out her snow-white wristband from her pocket, then pointed to her own nose:

"I."

Lu Yibei thought for a moment and smiled, "That's true."

"It seems like Xia's mother really likes the president," Ji Qingqian said.

“…Yes.” Lu Yibei sighed.

"As the saying goes, 'The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more pleasing he becomes.' The ancients were right, they weren't lying to me," Ji Qingqian said.

“…Yes.” Lu Yibei sighed.

Ji Qingqian jumped up and down lightly, bumping her boyfriend gently: "So, Abei, don't be too nervous, okay?"

Learn from others.

Lu Yibei wanted to say he knew, but his impressive reading volume made his face contort in pain.

"Heroine, do you know the original text from which the saying 'a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law' comes about?"

Ji Qingqian: "...What is it?"

"As the saying goes, 'A mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more as she looks at him.' But when Wang Shi looked at her son-in-law, she became angrier and angrier, even gritting her teeth—that's how it's written in the book," Lu Yibei said.

Ji Qingqian: "...Why do you read so many lousy books?"

Lu Yibei: "Sigh."

Fortunately, Ji Qingqian immediately grabbed her boyfriend's arm, a slightly coquettish smile playing on her lips.

It immediately dispelled the boy's inexplicable sorrow.

"Let's go home?" Lu Yibei said.

"Yeah, let's go home," Ji Qingqian said. "It's freezing outside."

The two quickly arrived at the subway entrance and took Line 3 to return to their apartment.

Once on the subway, there weren't many passengers, and I easily found an empty seat.

Lu Yibei took out his phone, ready to relax by scrolling through his WeChat Moments.

After refreshing the page several times, he saw it.

Lu Yibei: ...

What the heck? My account got hacked?

midnight.

"...pee, pee..."

Xia Li threw off the covers and climbed out of bed wearing only a thin nightgown and pajama bottoms that covered her thighs.

Xia's mother, who was sleeping next to her, was used to her daughter getting up at night and was too lazy to even move.

Xia Li shivered from the cold and squinted as she walked out of the room.

Then I went to the toilet.

When she came out again, her eyes were still half-closed, but her previously anxious face now looked much more relaxed.

"That felt good... Time for bed..."

Xia Li is quite familiar with this home she has lived in for over twenty years, and she can find the direction of the door in the dark without turning on the lights.

"—Click."

Turn the doorknob.

After Xia Li finished yawning, feeling very sleepy, she had already lifted the covers and was about to lie down.
