Since I learned that Su Shenglin was coming, these past two days have felt like an eternity.
To my surprise, before Su Shenglin even arrived, I was stunned by Li Yunwei's sudden appearance!
When I stepped into the hotel and saw her, I wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes.
"Happy New Year, darling!" Li Yunwei laughed heartily. "What, don't you recognize me? Didn't you say your show starts tomorrow? I didn't miss it, did I?"
Hearing her hearty, exaggerated laughter, I realized that it really was my best friend who had arrived!
I strode up to her and patted her on the shoulder, my eyes widening in surprise!
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? It's the Lunar New Year, shouldn't you be at home with your aunt and uncle?" I patted her and then hugged her tightly, so happy I could jump for joy.
“I spend every day with them, it’s not like we only see each other during the Lunar New Year. Besides, they arrange blind dates for me every Lunar New Year, it’s so annoying, so I booked my plane ticket a long time ago, saying I was going to Milan for tourism and to see the fashion show, and I’ll leave after the Lunar New Year’s Eve!”
Li Yun smiled slyly, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, and took my arm, asking, "How about it, surprised, right?"
"Wow, what a surprise!" After my initial excitement, I asked, "Have you booked your room yet? It's peak season these days, and rooms are hard to book."
"Oh, don't even mention it. There really is a problem with the room. I'll stay with you tonight, and I won't be able to get a room until tomorrow." Li Yunwei said, pulling my arm and grabbing her suitcase with her other hand. "Let's go upstairs first. I'm so sleepy, I need to catch up on some sleep."
I was being dragged along by her, and I immediately looked a little embarrassed.
Li Yunwei noticed and turned to look at me: "What's wrong? Why do you look constipated?"
"You're the one who's constipated!" I glared at her, then followed her towards the elevator, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Well... it's really unfortunate, if nothing unexpected happens, Su Shenglin will also be here today..."
"What?" Li Yunwei turned to look at me, surprised.
I thought she would be upset, and I was also in a dilemma, wondering if I should discuss it with Xiaoyingtao...
Before her thoughts could settle, she leaned closer with a suggestive look, "What do you mean? Second Master Su is coming over to live with you? When did you two cross that line? How come I didn't know?"
When she asked that question, it suddenly dawned on me!
yes!
Why did I instinctively assume that Su Shenglin was coming to sleep with me?
Don't tell me we haven't had any intimate relations yet.
Even if it happened, given his status, he would stay in the presidential suite if he came.
How could you possibly live with me in a cramped, ordinary apartment?
"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything? Did you two really sleep together?" Seeing my silence, Li Yunwei nudged me with her elbow and continued gossiping.
I snapped out of my daze, and just then the elevator arrived, so I pulled her inside.
Since we were both foreigners and couldn't understand Chinese, we continued chatting.
"No, he respects me a lot and said he wouldn't do it until I'm absolutely prepared," I explained, defending Su Shenglin.
Li Yunwei chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You've all discussed this topic seriously, which means you've at least tested the waters. As for not sleeping together, you're probably just one step away from it."
"Li Yunwei! You really blurt out everything!" I blushed, so embarrassed I wanted to cover her mouth!
She laughed and said, "What's the big deal? We're all adults, why be shy?"
Stepping out of the elevator, she dragged her suitcase with a roguish air. "I don't care, I have nowhere to go tonight, so I'll stay here—I want to see if you choose your best friend or your man."
I pretended to grab her neck, feigning gritted teeth, "I choose you, I choose you, of course I choose you! You came all this way to be with me, I have to choose you!"
"Haha, that's more like it—"
After entering the room, Li Yunwei tidied her clothes and went to take a shower.
I checked the message on my phone.
At this time, Su Shenglin should still be on the plane and won't be sending me messages.
But I still couldn't resist taking a look.
My heart was filled with excitement and unease; this restless, expectant, and nervous feeling was completely out of character for my age and personality.
I've fallen for it, and I'm falling deeper and deeper.
Li Yunwei went straight to sleep after taking a shower.
I had things to do in the afternoon, so after explaining them to her, I took my laptop to Xiaoyingtao's room so as not to disturb her rest.
When I received Su Shenglin's call, it was already completely dark.
But since tomorrow is my show, tonight's rehearsal is very important, and I have to stay until the very end, so I can't go back for a while.
"You've already landed?" I found a quiet spot and answered the phone with excitement.
"Yeah, I just got on the bus." Su Shenglin must have heard me and asked, "Are you still busy?"
"Yes, we're still rehearsing. We have a meeting later to double-check all the details."
How long will it take to finish?
"It's hard to say, but it will take at least one or two hours."
"I'll wait for you at the venue."
He must have been eager to see me, because he was even slightly restraining his breathing when he spoke.
My agitation grew. I glanced back at the bustling show, hesitated for a moment, and then refused: "No, go to the hotel. You must not have had much rest last night. Go and rest for a while."
After saying that, I thought of Li Yunwei and quickly added, "Oh right, Weiwei is here too. She said she came on a trip and stopped by the show. She's staying in my room tonight."
Su Shenglin was taken aback: "She lives with you?"
"Well, there's a problem with her room, it won't be fixed until tomorrow, and she doesn't want to go to another hotel."
I explained somewhat helplessly, imagining the tone of his voice as I spoke, my heart pounding with increasing shyness and confusion.
