“No, no, no…” Recalling the morning’s training under Mù Lì’s stern watch, Xú Xiānqí quickly laughed it off. “Big… big sister worked hard all day, come in and get ready for dinner.”
Following Xú Xiānrén into the house, Zhēng Bēn chuckled, “I cooked.”
“After hearing her say ‘no living beings allowed,’ I knew you must have cooked.” Xú Xiānrén rolled her eyes in exasperation. “It’s really something, letting a guest cook.”
“And aren’t you letting a guest sleep on the floor?” Zhēng Bēn teased her with a playful tone.
“Hmph, those are two completely different matters; you can’t lump them together.” Xú Xiānrén’s face broke into a cold sweat as she forced a smile. “Come on… let’s eat, hahaha…”
Time slipped away unnoticed. After finishing dinner and some household chores, Xu Xian’en finally had to climb into bed to prepare for sleep, after a bit of this and that, and a wash.
To be honest, she couldn’t quite put her feelings into words. Ever since Zou Bin arrived, she had become somewhat reluctant to sleep in her bed, yet she also enjoyed the feeling of sleeping in a dark room with someone by her side.
The dark, silent space, with its cold and gloomy atmosphere, only made her feel lonely, even with her sister in the room opposite. As she grew older, Xu Xian’en became increasingly afraid of this sensation.
“Hey, are you going to sleep?” Zou Bin opened the door and entered.
Two seconds ago, the emotions in her heart had completely vanished. Xu Xian’en glared at her roommate. “Don’t you know to knock before entering someone else’s room?”
“But… this is my room too!” He looked at her with an innocent expression.
What a shameless claim. If it weren’t for him insisting on staying here, would this place have become “his room” too? Xu Xian’en gave him a cold look, her eyebrows raised high. “So, you think you don’t need to knock? From today onwards, please sleep outside.”
