Accompanied by the sound of rain, Yan Can slept in late for another afternoon.
When she woke up and found herself in bed instead of in the rocking chair, she immediately identified the suspect.
But the room was quiet, and there was no sound from Zhou Sheng.
"Could I have remembered it wrong?"
Yan Can got out of bed and went to the living room, where she saw a straight, upright figure standing in front of the French windows.
The rocking chair she used to sleep in was now slowly rocking back and forth.
The books were also swaying along with it.
Hearing the noise, Zong Lian turned around and walked towards her.
"You're awake?"
He glanced at the time.
Three hours and fifteen minutes.
He kicked off the blanket once, cursed twice, and even said something arrogant: "I am the truth!"
Of course, he wouldn't tell Yan Can any of this.
Yan Can felt a little thirsty after sleeping, and subconsciously licked her lips.
She asked, "Where is Zhou Sheng?"
Zong Lian's gaze fell on her slightly dry and pale lips.
There was no color in her skin.
You need to take good care of yourself.
Thinking this, he said to Yan Can, "He said he had something come up and went out with a friend. He might not be back before dinner."
Yan Can: "Oh."
Without Zhou Sheng, there's definitely less fun.
wrong.
She almost forgot an important question.
She looked up at Zong Lian, "Did I fall asleep in the rocking chair?"
If so, then who put her on the bed?
She didn't even notice.
Zong Lian nodded and said softly, "You fell asleep, but kept saying that the big, soft bed was the most comfortable. You even acted like a spoiled child, so I had no choice but to reluctantly carry you back to bed."
Yan Can: "..."
behave in a spoiled manner?
Reluctantly?
Take them home?
She recognized each word individually, but when they were put together, she suddenly couldn't recognize them.
Yan Can asked 377, "Baby, is what he said true?"
377: "Basically matches".
Yan Can reminded it: "Basic fit means there are still parts that don't fit."
377: "..."
If the host insists on getting to the bottom of things, then it has no choice but to tell the truth.
Hopefully, the host won't regret it.
377: "The discrepancy is that the host became a spoiled brat after falling asleep, while Zong Lian, for some unknown reason, perhaps to save face for the host, only said the word 'spoiled brat'."
Yan Can's face darkened.
What is all this nonsense?!
How could she possibly act coquettishly towards a complete stranger she'd only known for a short time?!
377: "I have evidence. Would you like to see the replay, host?"
Is this human language?
Yan Can got angry and glared at it.
But 377 had already disappeared, and the person standing in that direction now was Zong Lian.
Zong Lian asked softly, "Are you angry?"
Yan Can retorted, "Who's angry? I'm not angry, I'm just naturally cold-faced!"
Zong Lian chuckled: "Hmm, I'm not angry."
The person, who is naturally cold-faced, is puffing up in anger right now, looking a bit fierce but also quite adorable.
The smile in his eyes was too obvious, and Yan Can looked away without giving it much attention.
Remembering that book, she asked, "Have you been here all afternoon?"
Zong Lian: "Hmm."
Yan Can found it strange, "Then why didn't you go out?"
Zhou Sheng's cousin, the heir to the main family, should be treated like an emperor in this hotel.
Zong Lian hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Yan Can pressed, "Why?"
Zong Lian still hesitated.
Only after Yan Can pressed him repeatedly did he reveal the answer.
"You kept acting cute and wouldn't let me leave."
"..."
Yan Can's face darkened again.
What is it?
It's one thing to whine and whimper when you're not sleeping well, but why are you still being so affectionate now that you're in bed?
This must be slander! It's defamation!
Yan Can refused to believe it.
She called out 377 and said, "Tell me, did Zong Lian lie?"
377: "Host, he did not exaggerate the facts."
Yan Can: "Impossible!"
377: "Would the host like to watch the replay?"
Yan Can: "..."
Get lost!
377: "Host, please feel free to ask me any questions. I'm always here for you."
After saying that, he slipped away.
Yan Can was surprised to find that what Zong Lian said was true, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Zong Lian, however, kindly comforted her, "Don't overthink it. Sometimes I do things that I wouldn't normally do."
Just like now.
Even though I wasn't asleep or dreaming, it felt like I was in a dream.
Yan Can sighed, speaking in a condescending tone, "There's no use thinking about it anymore. The stupid thing has already been done. I just hope you can forget about today's events as soon as possible."
Zong Lian verbally agreed, but in his heart he made a special note of it.
Forgetting is impossible.
After a while, he asked Yan Can, "Are you hungry?"
Yan Can shook her head.
Zong Lian then suggested, "If you're not very hungry, let me treat you to a meal."
Yan Can refused, "I don't want to go out, it's still raining outside."
It's comfortable to sleep when it rains, but traveling is a hassle.
Zong Lian: "Then wait half an hour."
Yan Can: "..."
What are we waiting for? For the rain to stop?
...
Half an hour later, the rain indeed stopped.
Zong Lian's words sounded like a divine revelation.
Zong Lian then asked, "It's stopped raining now, do you want to go out for dinner?"
This was something Zong Lian mentioned on the day he introduced himself.
He was rude and wanted to apologize.
Treating someone to a meal is a way of making amends.
Yan Can had no choice but to agree.
But before leaving, she secretly asked 377 one more question.
Yan Can: "The rain stopped just like that. Does Zong Lian carry around some kind of weather forecast system?"
