Lan Qingyue belatedly realized that she was in a hotel and hadn't gone home. Qi Yu had been sitting there all afternoon, or had he just arrived?
Lan Qingyue asked, "Why didn't you turn on the lights?"
Qi Yu said, "I was afraid it would affect your sleep."
He knew that Lan Qingyue's sleep quality was not very good. Although she was very insecure, she didn't like to sleep with the lights on. She preferred to sleep in a dark room, treating that dark space as her own. She slept very peacefully, without moving at all. If he moved or turned over even slightly, she would wake up.
He was surprised to find that such a young girl could have such poor sleep quality.
She slept all afternoon, and he silenced his phone and hers as well.
From the blazing sun when the room was brightly lit to the darkness of nightfall, she slept for an entire afternoon, and he quietly watched her sleeping face go from clear to blurry for the entire afternoon.
If she hadn't been so exhausted, she wouldn't have fallen asleep so quickly, forgetting even to close the curtains. Seeing that she was asleep, he let it go, lest the slight noise of closing the curtains wake her.
Qi Yu's answer was beyond Lan Qingyue's expectations. For a moment, she was speechless, sitting there blankly, clutching the quilt.
Qi Yu walked over to her, holding a denim jacket in his hand, and draped it over Lan Qingyue's shoulders. "Are you hungry? Do you want to order food to eat in the room or go out to eat?"
Lan Qingyue glanced at the color of the coat and asked, "Is this coat new?"
"Mm," Qi Yu replied, adding, "I bought it for you."
Lan Qingyue: "...Is it expensive? It's too expensive, I can't afford it!"
Even if she could afford it, she wouldn't want to give Qi Yu any money, hmph!
Qi Yu was amused by her childish words. He ruffled her slightly messy hair, a faint smile playing on his lips, overflowing with doting affection: "I bought it for you, of course you don't have to pay for it."
"Have you decided where you want to eat?"
Lan Qingyue rested her chin on her hand, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Let's eat outside. There's a night market in the city. I've never seen a night market before."
The school is located in the city center, but she hasn't had a chance to go out and explore with her classmates yet.
The night market was bustling with activity, offering barbecue, all sorts of snacks, and other trinkets she'd never seen before—things she'd learned about from her classmates.
She lived in the countryside and had only seen the "street days," or market days, which only happened once every two days. The stalls would close up in the evening, and people would either gather in small groups at their doorsteps to cool off, watch the stars and admire the moon, or stay at home and watch TV.
Night markets—there weren't any in her hometown.
She longed to stroll through the night market with someone she liked or her friends. Right now, she didn't have any of those kinds of people. The only person beside her was Qi Yu, a Qi Yu whose identity was impossible to define.
Qi Yu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Okay."
Lan Qingyue's coat was too thin, so Qi Yu gave her a new one. Lan Qingyue didn't ask him when he prepared it, as long as it fit her well. Before going out, Qi Yu also told Lan Qingyue to wear a sweater to avoid catching a cold.
Lan Qingyue looked speechlessly at Qi Yu's shirt, then at her own shirt vest, and the thick coat she wasn't wearing. "Young Master Qi, are we even in the same season?"
She was wearing three winter layers, while Qi Yu only had a thin shirt. It seemed like she had delicate skin and was afraid of the cold, while Qi Yu had thick skin and wasn't afraid of the cold at all!
