With a roar of its engine, the black sedan sped away as if fleeing.
"…………"
Zi Xi felt that Jiang Yanli must have been selling quilt covers in her past life, selling them one after another.
In the stairwell, Jiang Yanli, who was walking behind, was overjoyed.
Her tall figure, clad in a black suit that accentuated her broad shoulders and narrow waist, exuded a rosy aura, making her incredibly beautiful.
They can sleep under the same roof today, and meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!
Thank you for today.
As the door opened, Zi Xi suddenly spoke.
Standing behind, Jiang Yanli tilted her head and smiled, showing no sign of stomach pain at all: "What's the big deal... we're good friends."
"But good friends don't usually kiss or cuddle. How long are you going to be my good friend?"
That was my first kiss.
Jiang Yanli chuckled softly. He suddenly leaned closer, his breath brushing against her earlobe: "But it's okay to wait, just don't make me too impatient... my good friend."
Zi Xi's ears turned red, but she didn't answer. She took out her keys and opened the door.
The room was filled with a faint citrus scent.
When Zi Xi took out the guest slippers from the shoe cabinet, she noticed that Jiang Yanli was staring at the photo frame in the entryway, which showed a plump orange cat.
You like cats?
Jiang Yanli looked at it carefully, then casually hung her suit jacket on the coat rack, her movements as natural as if she were returning to her own home.
Zi Xi placed the kettle on the counter and sighed.
This was the cat she raised after she came into this world. After Chu Baiyi returned, her mother gave it away because Chu Baiyi was allergic to cat fur.
Are you...hungry? Shall I order takeout?
He had somehow gotten behind her, so close he could smell the mint on her.
"No, I'm going to wash up and go to bed first. You can make yourself at home in the living room."
"This is a new blanket, and there's a new toothbrush in the bathroom cabinet."
Zi Xi put the blanket on the sofa in the living room and went to take a shower in a depressed mood. She lay down on the soft bed, covered herself with the quilt, and couldn't help but feel a little out of character and very sad.
She adopted an orange cat named Snowball, which she found. Almost all the money she earned from her part-time job went into Snowball's belly, which is why it looks so round.
Just because her biological daughter Chu Baiyi came back, her cat, which she had raised for six years, was given away by Chu's mother on the grounds that Chu Baiyi was allergic to cat fur.
Snowball was sent away while she was away, and she couldn't find it anywhere.
The family that adopted Snowball only said that Snowball had misbehaved and run away on its own, and they didn't know anything about it.
That was the only time she ever lost her temper in the Chu family, but in their eyes, she just found it ridiculous that she was angry and upset over a beast.
Lying in the living room, Jiang Yanli sensed Zi Xi's sadness and held her phone, unsure how to comfort her.
Early in the morning, Zi Xi was curled up in bed, not wanting to move, when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Is it Jiang Yanli?
"It's me! Open the door for me!"
Zi Xi was a little confused, as she didn't seem to have heard Jiang Yanli leave either.
The door opened, and Jiang Yanli stood in the doorway, dressed casually, carrying a pet carrier.
The morning sunlight streamed in from behind him, gilding his silhouette with a golden edge.
He had that usual cynical smile on his lips, but his eyes were unusually gentle.
Good morning, my Sleeping Beauty.
