Chapter 120 Going Bad
When Xu Songning opened the door, he was not fully awake yet and was momentarily blinded by the incandescent light in the corridor.
She blinked hard before she could see the person standing in front of her clearly.
"Asleep?" Xiang Yun asked her in a low voice.
Xu Songning nodded in a muffled voice, "Mm."
Xiang Yun came to return the cup, but he didn't expect that he would disturb her sleep.
Looking down, he realized that Xu Songning wasn't wearing shoes and had come out barefoot.
Where are your shoes?
"shoe?"
She turned back to look for her shoes, circled the living room, and almost bumped into the coffee table, but Xiang Yun caught her before she could.
Seeing that she looked like she hadn't woken up yet, Xiang Yun sighed, picked her up and placed her on the sofa, where her shoes were next to the sofa.
He hooked the shoes and placed them beside her feet, gently coaxing her, "Put them on."
Xu Songning looked like he hadn't woken up yet, his feet casually stepping on the ground; the randomness of putting on his shoes was just too much.
Xiang Yun half-squatted down, grabbed her ankle, and stomped on it for a while. Her ankle felt cool to the touch.
When he looked up at Xu Songning, Xu Songning was also looking down at him. One had a burning gaze, while the other was dazed, her eyelids heavy and about to stick together.
Xiang Yun thought to herself, if it wasn't her outside the door, wouldn't she run into a bad person if she opened the door in this state?
His tone turned serious as he grasped her ankle and helped her put on her shoes. "Don't open the door for just anyone in the future."
Xu Songning couldn't understand, and only felt sleepy, wishing she could fall asleep immediately.
She kicked off the shoes she had just put on, lay down on the sofa, turned her face towards the backrest, and curled up.
You'll catch a cold if you sleep like that.
Xiang Yun sighed and carried the person back to the room.
Only a small lamp was lit in Xu Songning's room, illuminating only a small area.
A light-colored four-piece bedding set, a white bedside table, and a diffuser stone that I gave myself placed on the bedside table.
Xiang Yun was very satisfied and poured a drop of fragrance into the diffuser cup.
After doing all this, he went to turn off the small light.
A photo frame was placed next to the light switch. Xiang Yun had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, but the photo was too conspicuous, and he was very familiar with the person in it.
The photo shows Xu Songning and his mother. There is a diagonal crease in the photo, and the part that was not folded away reveals a plaid shirt that middle-aged men often wear.
Xiang Yun guessed what was going on, put the photo frame back in its place, and looked down. Xu Songning's gentle eyes and brows were soft and peaceful under the light of the small lamp.
"good evening."
When Xu Songning woke up in bed, she reached for her phone and turned off the alarm.
She lay on the pillow trying to wake herself up, and it took her a full ten minutes to lift her head again and look around. How did she end up in bed?
She rubbed her head, trying to recall. She seemed to have slept on the sofa last night. Who put her in bed? Could she have sleepwalked in the middle of the night and unknowingly ended up back in bed?
With a toothbrush dangling from her mouth, she strolled from the bathroom to the living room. As she passed the dining table, she paused, her mind suddenly clearing.
There's a cup on the table! It's the cup she used to give Xiang Yun honey water.
The toothbrush almost fell out of her mouth. She gripped it tightly, trying hard to remember what had happened yesterday.
She vaguely remembered Xiang Yun knocking on the door, but she had no recollection of what happened after that. It seemed like someone carried her to bed, and that person could only be Xiang Yun.
Thinking of this, Xu Songning felt a little smug, and brushed his teeth even more quickly.
She texted Xiang Yun on her phone, "Brother Yun, were you here yesterday?"
Xiang Yun didn't reply to her message until that evening.
Xiang Yun: I just landed. I've been here before, don't you remember?
Xu Songning took off his headphones, put them around his neck, lay back on the lounge chair, and typed messages rapidly.
Xu Songning: Yes, I was half asleep when I saw the cup and remembered that you seemed to have come to knock on the door.
Xiang Yun: Next time you fall asleep, don't open the door. It's dangerous.
Xu Songning: Is it dangerous? Did I molest you yesterday?
Xiang Yun: No
Xu Songning: So you molested me?
Xiang Yun: ...Impossible
Xu Songning: Hahahaha, who carried me to bed?
Xiang Yun took a while to reply.
Xiang Yun: So you're going to lie on the ground and sleep?
Xu Songning: Sleeping on the floor??
Xu Songning's eyes widened as she tried to recall. Could it be? She couldn't have really fallen asleep on the floor? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Her face flushed instantly, and she clutched her cheeks, inwardly screaming: No way! Did I really do something so embarrassing? And I hadn't even been drinking!
Xiang Yun: Just kidding.
Xu Songning: !!! Yun-ge, you've gone astray!
Xu Songning sent a cat spanking emoji, and Xiang Yun replied with a question mark.
"Hahahaha." She looked at the chat history and laughed to herself before putting her phone away.
Xu Songning calculated the time with his fingers. Zhou Qiao's cast was about to be removed. He wondered how Zhou was recovering and whether her ability to support herself had improved.
Having not checked up on him in a long time, Xu Songning planned a surprise attack. She hoped Zhou Qiao hadn't been secretly drinking behind her back, or she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Xu Songning drove his car toward the bar. A row of nice cars were parked outside the bar. Xu Songning and Lu Xiaomeng had their own parking spaces, although Lu Xiaomeng didn't need them for the time being.
Xu Songning easily parked his car, glanced around at the parked cars, and suddenly noticed a black motorcycle parked on the outer perimeter.
This motorcycle looks familiar, like it belongs to someone I know. It seems someone arrived even earlier than me.
Xu Songning stepped into the bar, his eyes searching for his target.
The waiters and waitresses all recognized her and greeted her.
She casually beckoned a young boy over, "Where's Boss Zhou?"
"The boss went to collect wine," the little boy replied obediently.
Xu Songning frowned, expressing doubt, "Going to drink? Is someone following her? Is it safe? She really didn't go to drink?"
The young man grinned, "There are eyes and ears everywhere. The boss can't get any drinks, and there's a guy watching her every day, so she can't even look at handsome guys anymore. The guy goes with her to handle the drinks, otherwise we wouldn't dare let the boss handle the drinks alone."
Xu Songning raised an eyebrow, knowing exactly what was going on. "Oh? How many days have you been here, young man?"
"He's been here for three days, and the boss won't let him upstairs. So he's been watching downstairs every day like a ghost. He follows the boss wherever he goes. If the boss didn't indulge him, he would have been thrown out by the security guards long ago," the young man complained.
"I understand, you can go ahead and get busy." Xu Songning waved his hand and walked past the boy to the wine cellar to find someone.
Knowing that Qin You was with her, Xu Songning didn't make a big show of herself. Instead, she sneaked up to the vicinity of the wine cellar like a thief.
From afar, she saw the wine cellar door wide open, with Zhou Qiao standing on a ladder, holding documents in her hand, checking the quantities while muttering something.
A person stood beside the ladder, holding it firmly with both hands.
The gate mostly blocked the man's figure, but Xu Songning recognized him. Who else could it be but Qin You?
They've brazenly entered the house.
Xu Songning leaned against the wall, quietly watching the two people in the wine cellar, without going to disturb them.
