Chapter 21 Hurting Each Other



"What are you doing?" Luo Xiyun, who had just come back from hanging up the clothes, saw this scene and asked angrily.

Chen Xu said, "Move the chair."

"Who asked you to move?"

Chen Xu asked in surprise, "Can't we move?"

"At least get my consent. This is my room."

Chen Xu suddenly realized, "So, you also know that you need to get someone's consent before you can touch their things."

Luo Xiyun was speechless, her face flushed. She had secretly used Chen Xu's computer, which was a real sore spot.

Chen Xu smiled a winner and pushed his chair into the room.

"Wait a minute." Luo Xiyun stomped his feet and called him, "Clean it up first." As he said that, he took out a bottle of cleaning spray and a rag, and cleaned Chen Xu's chair carefully from inside to outside.

Chen Xu sat on her chair, watching from the side, and couldn't help but say, "Can your boyfriend stand you being like this?"

Luo Xiyun ignored him and concentrated on wiping the armrests of the chair.

Chen Xu shook his head and said to himself, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand it. Whether it's troublesome or not is another matter. The most important thing is that you act as if you are trying to cheat me. To be honest, it makes me feel uncomfortable..."

Luo Xiyun suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around, and said coldly, "First, we are not friends. Second, we are not even acquaintances. We are just two grasshoppers tied to a rope. When you are free, you can sit together and chat, but please don't interfere in my affairs. This is the most basic respect between each other."

Chen Xu was choked and speechless. This was really retribution, coming fast. This was what he had said to her the day before yesterday, but now she was saying it back to him. He really had nothing to say.

He turned around silently, put on his headphones and went to watch TV series.

…………

Chen Xu stayed in the villa all day and did not go out. He sat on the sofa in the living room and read a book, leaving Luo Xiyun busy in and out, cleaning the utility room.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, Luo Xiyun stopped his work and went to cook.

Dinner was simple, just noodles.

When Luo Xiyun saw that Chen Xu didn't take his eyes off the book in his hand while eating noodles, he was so angry that he was about to explode. He thought that he had been busy all day cleaning the room for him, but he didn't help at all and just sat there reading books all day.

She sneered, "I can't tell. You still read science fiction."

Without taking his eyes off the book, Chen Xu said casually, "I've wanted to read The Three-Body Problem for a long time, but I never had the time. I saw it on your bookshelf, so I picked it up and read it. It's really good."

Seeing that he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words at all, Luo Xiyun became even more depressed and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you understand?"

Chen Xu glanced at her and said, "Reading novels is just for entertainment. No matter what the author wants to express, I am willing to read the novel because I get the pleasure of reading it. What does it have to do with understanding or not? Can you feel superior just by reading a novel?"

"You've said so much, aren't you afraid of showing your weakness?" Luo Xiyun said disdainfully, "There's nothing shameful in admitting that you don't understand."

Chen Xu knew that she was in a bad mood, so he didn't stimulate her too much and continued reading his novel.

…………

After dinner, Chen Xu finally finished reading the book and stretched his body. He looked at the time and it was almost eight o'clock. He went downstairs to turn off one generator and fill up the other one with oil.

"What?" Chen Xu stuffed the book back into the bookshelf and asked without turning his head.

"I'm going to take a shower."

Chen Xu was surprised and asked, "You wash yours. I'm reading my book in my room. Am I bothering you?"

Luo Xiyun said angrily, "Get out of here."

Chen Xu spread his hands and said, "The heating outside is turned off. Do you have the heart to let me freeze outside?"

Luo Xiyun glared at him angrily and said, "It would be best if you freeze to death." But then he went into the bathroom with his clothes.

"Too hypocritical."

Chen Xu shook his head, took out the third volume of "The Three-Body Problem" from the bookshelf, sat in his chair, and opened the first page.

Soon, the sound of water was heard from the bathroom.

He didn't feel anything at first, but after she said that, he felt something strange in his heart, and the scene in the bathroom kept appearing in his mind.

This room is the master bedroom. The bathroom is separated from the room by a huge glass wall. Of course, it is not transparent and nothing can be seen.

Wow...

Chen Xu felt like an invisible hand was stirring in his heart. His throat felt tight, so he took the water cup on the table and took a sip of water, reminding himself not to let his imagination run wild.

He turned his attention elsewhere and felt that the lights were a little bright. In the past few months, he had developed a habit of saving energy, so he wanted to turn off the headlights and only leave a few small lights.

The owner of the house must be a very romantic person. The room is equipped with various lights that can create various effects.

He walked to the switch and saw seven or eight switches on it. He didn't know which one was which, so he pressed one at random, and several lights nearby lit up.

It was still too bright. He turned it off and flipped another switch.

I tried a few, but was not satisfied with any of them.

He turned the fifth switch, but the light didn't come on. Just as he was wondering, his eyes swept across the glass wall of the bathroom. He felt like he was under a spell and was frozen in place.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but also like just a moment had passed. Luo Xiyun in the bathroom turned off the faucet, dried his body with a towel, walked out of the partition, and began to put on his clothes.

During the whole process, she did not turn around, which made Chen Xu not know whether to feel regret or relief.

When she opened the bathroom door, Chen Xu turned off the magic switch reflexively.

Luo Xiyun came out and asked curiously, "Why did you turn off the headlights?" Then, he saw Chen Xu standing at the switch. He seemed to remember something, his face changed drastically, and his voice trembled a little, "Which...switch did you press?"

After all, Chen Xu felt a little guilty and his expression was very unnatural.
