Chapter 195 Fool
late at night.
When Xiang Yun got off the plane and went home, he didn't have time to change out of his uniform in the car, so he was wearing a thin shirt with his jacket draped over his arm.
A small balcony light was on in the living room, illuminating a small area.
He pushed open the door to the master bedroom. The lights in the bedroom were off, and Xu Songning was lying on her side asleep, with the soft moonlight shining on her serene face.
Xiang Yun stood by the bed, staring at her face, his mind churning. The woman's provocative words kept replaying in his mind, amplifying his emotions.
Xu Songning is a light sleeper, and she is more likely to wake up when Xiang Yun is not around. When she noticed someone standing in front of her, she slightly opened her eyes.
If it weren't for the familiar scent wafting over first, she would have thought a thief had broken into her house.
"Brother Yun, you're back." Xu Songning reached out to him, half-awake, her voice soft and heavy with weariness.
Unable to reach it, Xu Songning scratched at the blanket in frustration.
Xiang Yun squatted down and took her hand.
Xu Songning calmed down, gently held his hand, and her breathing became long and even again.
"What am I jealous of?" Xiang Yun shook his head self-deprecatingly. Red roses flashed through his mind. He held Xu Songning's hand and bit her middle finger, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks.
It was late at night. After taking a shower, Xiang Yun gently lay down on the other side of the large bed.
In her sleep, Xu Songning followed the familiar scent and rolled to Xiang Yun's side, wrapping her arms around his waist.
In the darkness, Xiang Yun's phone lit up again.
It's still the same harassing message from that number.
"Do you know that even when you're not around, she's always with me?"
"Do you really know what kind of person she is? You might as well back out now, before she dumps you."
Xiang Yun's face was grim. He copied the number, sent it to Gu Xing, and replied with two words before blocking him.
Turn off the computer and go to sleep.
Lin Yao sat in the hanging basket, scrolling through the messages she had sent to Xiang Yun, a smug smile playing on her lips. "Oh my, any man would be furious if he saw these messages."
She hummed a little tune, lightly tapping her feet as she swayed the hanging basket.
A text message suddenly popped up.
She clicked on it, and two small Song typeface characters lay there, silently mocking her.
"idiot".
"Aaaaaaah!"
Lin Yao was so angry that she threw the pillow in her arms to the ground, stood up abruptly, and stomped on the pillow until it was unrecognizable.
"Who do you think you are?! The person she loves most is me!"
Lin Yao sent the message in a fit of rage, completely unaware that her phone number had been blocked and her text message intercepted.
Xiang Yun's phone lay quietly on the bedside table.
The alarm didn't go off the next day when the phone was off.
When Xu Songning was woken up by his alarm clock, he found himself lying in Xiang Yun's arms, and he hadn't gone out for his morning run yet.
She turned off the alarm clock, buried her face in Xiang Yun's arms, and continued to cling to him, venting her morning grumpiness.
A large hand ruffled her hair, and Xu Songning protested with a couple of whimpers, but it had no effect.
"Did I wake you up?" Xu Songning spoke with his eyes closed, still half asleep and unable to open them at all.
"I was going for a morning run anyway, but the alarm didn't go off." Xiang Yun picked up a pillow, propped it up against the headboard, moved up a bit, and changed his position to hug her.
My phone is on, and there are no spam text messages, which is a big relief.
"Hmm..." Xu Songning's breathing was long and even.
They each have their own sleeping habits. Xiang Yun can get up as soon as the alarm rings, wash up, change clothes, and go for a morning run. Xu Songning, on the other hand, often lies in bed for another ten minutes after the alarm rings, letting out his morning grumpiness before finally getting out of bed.
"Songning, it's time to get up." Xiang Yun rubbed the back of her neck.
Xu Songning ignored him, "Call me by a nicer name, I'll think about it."
Xiang Yun paused for a moment. "Many people use the name 'Songning,' so it's really nothing special. Xu Songning doesn't seem to be getting up at all."
He leaned down, got close to her ear, hesitated for a moment, and then called out, "Ningning, get up."
Xu Songning's beautiful big eyes snapped open, revealing a captivating light, and she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Roger!"
Xiang Yun's morning run plan was ruined, so he got up to make breakfast for Xu Songning and then took her to work.
Now his cooking skills are not as good as when he was single. With Ms. Xu and Mr. Xiang teaching him, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds and have received unanimous praise from Xu Songning.
Scallion and poached egg noodles, it takes exactly ten minutes from turning on the heat to cooking.
After washing up, Xu Songning sat at the table, eating noodles while checking messages on her phone.
Like Lu Xiaomeng, she was also suffering from the torment of the summer travel rush, with all sorts of meetings and encouraging slogans. Zhou Qiao's bar business was booming, and when Qin You went out to perform, Zhou Qiao couldn't wait to throw a party to celebrate, and she mocked the two air traffic controllers who were being brutally trampled underfoot by the summer travel rush in the group chat.
"Let's eat first." Xiang Yun took the phone away.
Xu Songning was still typing, sighing as he watched his phone fly away.
Without her phone, she could only obediently eat her meals.
Xiang Yun took a bite of noodles and asked her casually, "Did you know that someone proposed at the airport yesterday?"
Xu Songning's alarm bells rang. Could it be that Cheng Ou's outburst yesterday was seen by passing crew members and was being misinterpreted as a marriage proposal?
"Who told you that?"
"I heard it from the crew." Xiang Yun put down his chopsticks and listened attentively to her.
"I didn't see it. It probably happened while I was at work." Xu Songning bit her chopsticks, not daring to look Xiang Yun in the eye.
"Really? I also heard that the guy was rejected and the flowers were thrown away."
"Proposing at the airport isn't very romantic, so it's normal to be rejected!"
"Yeah?"
If Xu Songning had been more attentive, he might have realized that Xiang Yun was actually trying to elicit information when he used the interrogative word for the second time.
But she felt a little guilty at the moment and didn't want Xiang Yun to know that Cheng Ou was pestering her, so she didn't notice his tone and wording.
"I'll ask Lu Xiaomeng, maybe there'll be some news in the groups she's joined. Yun-ge, when did you become so gossipy?" Xu Songning joked, trying to change the subject.
Xiang Yun handed the phone back to her, saying, "I just thought it was interesting."
How interesting! Xu Songning had no intention of telling him that her ex-boyfriend had brought flowers to see her.
Xu Songning quickly finished his noodles, glanced at the time, and said, "I should go to work."
"I'll take you." Xiang Yun put down his chopsticks; he still had a little more than half of the noodles left in his bowl.
"No need, Brother Yun, I can go by myself. Otherwise, you'll have to come pick me up tonight, which is too much trouble." Xu Songning changed his shoes and prepared to get his bag.
Xiang Yun held up his bag, preventing her from reaching it, and stared at her with a deep gaze. "It's no trouble at all. I'll have time to pick you up and drop you off these next few days."
Xu Songning didn't understand the emotions in his eyes. She put her arms around his waist and kissed him on the cheek. "The summer travel season is coming soon. You should get some rest. I can drive myself."
"Okay." Xiang Yun stopped insisting and hung the bag back up.
Xu Songning straightened her clothes, wanting to say something more to him, but when she turned her head, she saw that the door to the master bedroom was already closed.
