Chapter 134 It's not afraid of me
Xu Songning took a bite of the fried egg and, seeing Xiang Yun staring at her, smiled and commented, "It's quite delicious. I remember the first time I fried an egg, I turned it into charcoal."
If Xu Songning saw the charcoal in Xiang Yun's trash can a few days ago, he would also marvel at how Xiang Yun's cooking skills were about the same as his own.
But perhaps Xiang Yun just has a talent for cooking. After messing up two fried eggs, he mastered the art of frying eggs and could even precisely control how well-done they were.
"Do you prefer your food fully cooked or soft-boiled?" Xiang Yun asked her.
Xu Songning took a bite of the hard-boiled egg. Although it tasted good, she still preferred the soft-boiled egg, with the golden yolk slowly flowing out of the egg white and filling the air with its aroma.
"Soft-boiled!"
"Okay." Xiang Yun replied, without saying when he would fry her a soft-boiled egg again, but Xu Songning knew that her brother Yun was a man of his word and would definitely do it.
Xu Songning obligingly finished his breakfast and fruit, and even drank all the milk.
Xiang Yun inspected the results with satisfaction, put the dishes in the dishwasher, grabbed the keys, and said, "Let's go."
It took them about an hour to drive to the city center. Xu Songning played Candy Crush in the car. Xiang Yun drove more steadily than anyone she had ever seen, and she didn't get carsick at all while playing the game.
Match-3 games are very stress-relieving and suitable for her to play, but the later levels get harder and harder, and with only 30 energy points a day and 5 points for one game, it's not enough.
After playing for a while, Xu Songning got angry, turned off his phone, and said angrily, "I'm not playing anymore!"
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yun asked.
"This is too difficult," Xu Songning said in a muffled voice. "The previous levels were much easier."
"Then you can use mine." Xiang Yun handed her the phone. The two of them ran their fingers across the screen, touching the fingerprint unlock area, but they couldn't unlock the screen and had to enter the password.
Taking advantage of the traffic light, Xiang Yun lowered his head and entered the password.
Xu Songning didn't mean to see his password, but Xiang Yun didn't hide it from her at all. Based on her familiarity with the nine-square grid, Xu Songning knew clearly that the last few passwords Xiang Yun entered were 520.
This is a 3x3 number grid, it can't be an abbreviation of "XXX I love you", this 520 must have some other meaning.
Xiang Yun handed her the phone. "What are you spacing out for?"
"nothing!"
Xu Songning took the phone, and suddenly it dawned on her that she understood why Gu Xing said Xiang Yun's birthday was easy to guess. May 20th, how could it not be easy to guess!
She did the math; it was next week! Why hadn't Xiang Yun told her about it yet? Did he not want her to prepare a gift in advance?
To avoid arousing Xiang Yun's suspicion, she opened the match-3 game, played a few levels casually, and kept thinking about other things.
When the car stopped at the community garage that Xu Songning mentioned, she had already completed ten levels, which was a piece of cake.
Xiang Yun looked at the familiar neighborhood and hissed softly, "What a coincidence?"
"What's wrong?" Xu Songning handed the phone back to him.
My sister lives here too.
"Your sister? She graduated?"
"Yes, my internship has started."
Xu Songning knew that Xiang Yun had a younger sister. The brooch she had pinned on her white dress to cover the wine stain, as well as the sleep-inducing aromatherapy, were from Xiang Yun's sister.
"Your sister is quite romantic, is she a design major?"
Xu Songning led him toward the apartment building, a route that Xiang Yun found increasingly familiar.
“No, I’m a law student,” Xiang Yun replied.
Xu Songning looked surprised. "Really? Sanhua's adoptive parents are also law students. What a coincidence!"
The two stopped at the entrance of the apartment building. Xiang Yun's face darkened. This was indeed too much of a coincidence, and perhaps there were even more coincidences to come.
He personally found the apartment for his sister. He had been to this building several times and knew it like the back of his hand. The building even had facial recognition access control.
He remembered someone saying that after graduation he would focus on his work and that someone would be hired to take care of the cat so that his mother wouldn't find anything to criticize her for.
Watching Xu Songning press the familiar floor button, Xiang Yun thought to himself: Good, it seems I can't misunderstand her.
So you said she lived alone, so why did she need such a big house? Turns out it was for her three cats.
Xiang Yun exited the elevator without making a sound. There were two elevators serving four households, two households on each side.
While Xu Songning was looking up at the house number, he had already stepped to the right, showing he knew the way better than Xu Songning.
"Brother Yun, how did you know it was this way?"
"……intuition."
Xu Songning sent a message to Cui Yuyue, but she hasn't replied yet; she's probably still asleep.
Xu Songning entered the password and went straight in. She thoughtfully reminded Cui Yuyue on WeChat that she had brought a man with her and that she shouldn't be scared.
As soon as the two entered the house, the three cats got up at the sound.
Sanhua ran incredibly fast. Upon smelling the familiar scent, it almost braked with its face, circling around the two of them incessantly.
“Sanhua baby, Mommy and brother have come to see you.” Xu Songning picked up Sanhua and rubbed its bread-like head in her arms, completely unaware of Xiang Yun’s strange behavior.
Xiang Yun was very familiar with this place. He took a few steps forward, and the blue cat came over, rubbing against his calf and rolling over to beg for a pat.
"Blue Cat didn't really pay attention to me before, but it seems it likes you more, Brother Yun." Xu Songning hugged Sanhua and nudged Xiang Yun's arm.
Why is Sanhua's brother so cold today? He didn't even touch Sanhua.
The calico cat meowed in protest, but Xiang Yun simply patted its head hard, squatted down, and scratched the blue cat's chin a few times.
"Where is the adopter?" Xiang Yun asked.
Xu Songning glanced at the locked master bedroom. "She's probably still sleeping. It's okay. I told her I was coming to see the cat today."
It seems Xu Songning didn't mention his name, otherwise Cui Yuyue wouldn't have dared to let her bring people; she would have run away with the cat long ago.
The most aloof plush toy was on the balcony. When it heard the familiar voice, it took small steps and jumped down from the hanging basket, tilting its head to look at the two humans at the door.
Xu Songning explained to him, "This plush toy is the most aloof; it doesn't usually talk to people much."
"It's okay, it's not afraid of me."
Xiang Yun walked towards the balcony, and the plush toy retreated repeatedly, its blue eyes fixed on the human. After a while, it seemed to realize what was happening, gracefully walked up to him, and meowed twice.
He squatted down, and to Xu Songning's surprise, the doll rubbed against his arm and naturally snuggled into his arms.
“Baby, you’ve fallen out of favor! Your brother actually went to pet the new cat, he doesn’t love you anymore!” Xu Songning covered the calico cat’s eyes to prevent it from seeing.
"Click".
The bedroom door opened.
Cui Yuyue stretched and greeted Xu Songning, "Good morning, sister. Have you had breakfast yet? If not, I'll order some takeout, and we can eat together."
"We've already eaten, thank you," Xu Songning said with a smile.
Cui Yuyue received Xu Songning's message and jumped out of bed. The man her sister brought must be her boyfriend!
She wasn't wearing her glasses; she was nearsighted, with a prescription of over 200 degrees. Scanning the area, she saw a man squatting on the balcony and squinted. "Sister, what's your boyfriend doing squatting there?"
