Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu returned Roubao to the cattery. Wang Ma and Yao Ma were worried about not being able to find Roubao, but when they saw Roubao coming back, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving Wang Ma and Yao Ma's yard, Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan walked side by side towards the small building. Zhang Moyan couldn't help but think of Lin Yin again, and didn't say much along the way.
Suddenly, the back of her right hand was touched twice, intentionally or unintentionally. She turned her head to look at the man beside her. His brows were clear and he simply held her hand.
His fingertips were warm, and they dug into her palm slightly, embedding tightly.
"Mo Yan, can I call you Dou Dou like your parents?" Xiao Xingyu suddenly asked.
Zhang Moyan paused abruptly: "Why?"
Xiao Xingyu rubbed the back of her hand with his slightly calloused fingertips and said, "Doudou is your nickname? I still remember the way your parents looked when they heard me call you Doudou. It was really... like I was blaspheming you! Is it true that only those closest to you can call you Doudou?"
“…I guess so.”
"Then I'll call you that too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Moyan's hand slipped out of Xiao Xingyu's palm.
Xiao Xingyu was a little stunned and read a rejection from Zhang Moyan's action.
This was a bit unexpected for him. Zhang Moyan had clearly been put in an awkward position by her own unconscious action, and her face showed an expression of uncertainty as to how to end the situation. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Xiao Xingyu gave a self-deprecating smile: "It seems I'm not qualified."
Zhang Moyan didn't respond, and Xiao Xingyu felt uneasy.
What did she mean? They'd kissed, slept together (meaning they'd shared a bed in the hospital), and judging by the timing, they should be in the heady, head-over-heels phase of love. Why couldn't she even call him by a more affectionate name?
Could it be that he overestimated his current status?
Or does this woman not consider him as her own yet?
If he had known this would happen, he would not have been so rude. Now the awkward feeling between the two of them was really killing him.
The two walked silently to the front of the small building, and went up the stairs one after the other. Just when Xiao Xingyu's active mind had diverged to the thought "Forget it, it's probably that she is just using her beauty to gain power", Zhang Moyan suddenly said to him.
"I don't like the name 'Doudou'."
It was a nonsensical sentence, but it was like the Monkey King's golden cudgel that blew away all the chaos in his head, revealing the sun and a clear sky.
"Just call me Mo Yan." Zhang Mo Yan looked a little embarrassed and eager to avoid the question. After saying this, she almost immediately pushed open her door, as if she was afraid that Xiao Xingyu would ask her why.
As soon as her hand touched the door handle, Xiao Xingyu reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against him.
"Don't you like me calling you by your nickname, or do you dislike me as a person?" He put his left hand along her back and around her waist.
Zhang Moyan held up her arms to slightly distance the two of them: "Be careful with your right hand, don't touch it."
Xiao Xingyu tightened his grip around her waist: "You reject me so directly, I'm really sad, you know? You just don't like me yet, right?"
"I didn't!" Zhang Moyan was also a little anxious and blurted out. After she said it and met someone's smug eyes, she realized that she seemed to have fallen into his trap again.
"Oh, 'no', so you finally admit that you like me?" Xiao Xingyu looked down at her condescendingly with a slight smile at the corner of his eyes.
"Why do you keep asking me if I like you?" Zhang Moyan murmured.
Xiao Xingyu hugged her and shook her, saying, "Because you never told me that you like me."
Zhang Moyan was stunned: "I..."
"There's no point in talking now," Xiao Xingyu said, his eyes dark, as if he had the final say. "How much sincerity can there be in these hastily spoken words? I'm a results-oriented person. I want to see your actual actions."
"Actual...action?" Zhang Moyan couldn't see through the sinister intentions beneath this beautiful facade. She leaned back to create some distance between herself and Xiao Xingyu. "What actual action?"
Xiao Xingyu curled the corner of his mouth, put his arm around her waist and walked towards his room.
"No, no," Zhang Moyan's handsome face flushed red. He wanted to struggle but restrained himself because of his injuries. "Calm down, don't you think we're moving too fast?"
"What's the hurry?" Xiao Xingyu said, "You missed it so much in the hospital, didn't you? You didn't even want to sleep with me when they gave you a bed to accompany me. You just wanted to sleep with me, right? I can see it all! Do you dare to say you didn't?"
Zhang Moyan had never met a man as shameless and unyielding as Xiao Xingyu in her life. She stared in amazement and covered his mouth with her hand. "Oh my God, don't say anything."
Xiao Xingyu really didn't say anything, and then Zhang Moyan felt someone licking the palm of her hand.
Zhang Moyan was completely stunned.
He immediately retracted his fist and withdrew his hand, but the feeling of that touch seemed to have stuck to the palm of his hand.
"Mo Yan," the instigator actually revealed a look of grievance, "I've already told everyone that you're my bedmate. If they find out we still sleep in separate beds, won't it be hard to justify ourselves?"
Zhang Moyan is about to faint. What’s the reason?
"No one should notice that we sleep in separate beds, right? At worst, I can just not turn on the lights. That way, if someone sees that only one window is lit, they'll think we're together."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the yard, and then Xiao Weizhou's voice was heard on the stairs: "Xingyu, you're back?!"
Zhang Moyan's eyes widened. What a coincidence! Before she could react, Xiao Xingyu shoved her into the room at lightning speed.
