Chapter 49 I really want to know what incredible thing happened.
"You don't look like you're here to add someone on WeChat, you look like you're here to seek revenge." Xiang Yun opened the door, wearing pajamas with the collar open, revealing a muscular physique.
This time, when Xu Songning saw his body, all she could think of was what happened that night, and she took the initiative to look away.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Sit down for a while, your phone is charging in the room." Xiang Yun's hands were covered in water droplets, making it inconvenient for her to reach for her phone.
His hair was still wet, so he turned on the hairdryer and started drying it. "There are snacks on the coffee table, eat them yourself."
Xu Songning responded, unsure if Xiang Yun, who was drying her hair, could hear her. She picked up the snacks and put them down again, feeling awkward for the first time. Sitting on the sofa, her fingers were interlaced, her thumb constantly shifting position like it was playing a game of cat's cradle. Realizing something was amiss, she took out her phone and played a match-3 game for a while.
The hairdryer stopped, and Xu Songning secretly lifted her eyelids to look at him.
Finally, Xiang Yun entered the room. His black phone had no case. After a quick tap, he handed over a QR code, saying, "Scan it."
Xiang Yun glanced down at the coffee table. Xu Songning hadn't eaten anything, including the oranges she usually loved. Perhaps they weren't cut open, making it inconvenient for her to eat them.
"Is this a work number?" Xu Songning asked.
"yes."
"Do you have two accounts?"
Xiang Yun thought to herself, "Hasn't this person gotten over their suspicions about being a scumbag? Does they think I'm using another account to do the same things as a scumbag?"
"Add me." Xiang Yun switched to another interface, opened his clone, and pushed a QR code right in front of Xu Songning.
Xu Songning's pupils changed in an instant, and he tried to remain calm as he raised his hand to scan the code.
A ragdoll cat stared at her from afar through the screen, its harmless blue glass pupils meeting her gaze.
The mountains and rivers were instantly blasted into a plain, with dust flying everywhere and mud and sand scattering in all directions...
Xiang Yun and Mr. X, their figures overlapped, blurred, merged, and finally became one person.
My gaze swept across his jawline and lingered on his beautiful eyes. Memories kept flashing back: Mr. X and Xiang Yun's eyes were actually very similar, but I had overlooked this fact from the beginning.
"What's wrong? Daydreaming again?" Xiang Yun clicked the "add friend" button for her, accepted it himself, and then showed her the QR code for his work account. "Add them both."
Xu Songning snapped back to reality and hurriedly exited WeChat. She then reopened it and added all the work accounts.
If she stayed any longer, Xiang Yun might notice something was amiss.
"I'm going back to rest." Xu Songning stood up.
"Wait a minute." Xiang Yun called out to her, turned around and went into the bedroom. After rummaging around for a while, he came out with a box. "You're on vacation tomorrow, right?"
"yes."
"I didn't know when your birthday was, so here's the gift for you. Happy birthday, Songning." Xiang Yun handed her the paper bag.
Xu Songning stared at this hot potato, hesitated for a few seconds, and then accepted it, "Thank you, Brother Yun. How did you know my birthday was coming up?"
"I asked someone else, and they said okay, go and rest. Remember to soak the skirt in milk; do you have any milk at home?"
"...There should be."
"Okay, then there probably isn't any." Xiang Yun took a carton of pure milk out of the refrigerator and gave it to her.
With a gift bag in one hand and milk in the other, Xu Songning returned home in a daze and sat on the sofa, fidgeting with his hands.
She looked at the pure milk, her brows furrowing deeply. "Brother Yun is a very good person."
Her eyes darted to the gift bag. "Mr. X cannot meet himself in reality."
No, more than that, she wanted to know one thing: why did Xiang Yun leave that night? What else could that be but the behavior of a scumbag?!
When Xu Songning thought about this, she wanted to jump up and go across the street to ask him for clarification, but she couldn't. Now, she and Xiang Yun were not only colleagues but also neighbors, and their relationship was ambiguous. If she did that, they probably wouldn't be able to remain friends.
As a friend, Xiang Yun is truly a very good person.
The gift bag was on the table. She sighed and decided to see what the gift was.
The gift box was a bit long, and as it was pulled out, a piece of cardboard fell onto the table.
She gently picked up the card, and the handwriting on it matched the phone number Zhou Qiao had photographed.
Was he in a hurry to leave that night? Is that why he came to contact me later?
"The speaker can't be removed and isn't sold separately. Hopefully, it can help you fall asleep."
It was a soft, medium-sized pillow with a silky fabric. Xu Songning grabbed it and held it a couple of times, wondering how supportive it was.
"Sigh, why are you always so considerate of me? I don't know what to do anymore. Should I be grateful or should I wake up?" Xu Songning sighed as she lay on the sofa, then glanced at the milk. Oh well, her dress hadn't been washed yet.
She spent an hour getting herself ready.
Her favorite little pillow was on the bed, but she ruthlessly pushed it aside and replaced it with the pillow that Xiang Yun had given her.
"Sorry, baby, Mommy has a new favorite. I'll try this one today." Xu Songning patted the pillow, rested her head on it, and felt so comfortable that she wanted to let out a sigh.
How come this person is both handsome and has such good taste?
Xu Songning lay on the bed, recalling their first encounter. They were both adults, and such things were consensual. Neither of them had a boyfriend or girlfriend at the time, so it wasn't considered crossing the line. But the problem was that they later became colleagues without knowing each other's identities and started having an ambiguous relationship.
They've become neighbors, seeing each other all the time, and it's not something she wants to see if their relationship sours.
What should she do? Xu Songning tossed and turned in bed. She couldn't stay away from Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun hadn't contacted her for a week, and she was anxious. She had also come to understand her own feelings. She had feelings for Xiang Yun and liked him.
Moonlight streamed into the room through the window. She reached out to touch the cold moonlight. Could they still get along like this if Xiang Yun didn't know she was Lili? Xu Songning simply didn't have the courage to bring it up. How could she possibly say it?
Bringing this up will only make things more awkward between the two of them.
Xu Songning forced herself to separate Mr. X and Xiang Yun, wondering if it would be better to treat them as two separate people. At least her conscience would be clear. A one-night stand becoming a romantic interest, colleague, and neighbor was a situation she really didn't want to see. The relationships were too messy, but since things were already in such a chaotic mess, she might as well make the best of it.
She didn't want to lose Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun was a good person, and she got along well with him. Even if they couldn't be lovers, being friends would be fine.
After thinking it through, she felt at ease, took out her phone, and gave Xiang Yun feedback on the practicality of the gift, "Thank you, Brother Yun, the pillow is very useful."
"Go to sleep early, goodnight," Xiang Yun replied quickly.
"good evening."
Xu Songning put down her phone and prepared to go to sleep, but the phone screen lit up again, and she squinted to look at the message.
Xiang Yun: Will you have trouble sleeping tonight?
