Seeing that Yufeng was still so energetic, Xiaoyun relaxed a bit. However, noticing that Yufeng seemed to have no recollection, he probably had forgotten.
"Humph, heartless..." Just like that, he forgot. But it made sense. After having such a high fever, it would be strange if he still remembered.
Yufeng went to work in high spirits. When passing by his colleagues in the company, he didn't forget to greet them. "Good morning."
"Good morning, President..." The employees were extremely surprised. It seemed that the president was in a good mood. What good thing had happened?
When Yufeng reached his office, he turned on the computer. Thinking of the newlyweds who were on their honeymoon, he opened the computer and sent them a message.
He waited for a long time, but there was no response. Yufeng couldn't help raising his eyebrows. What were these two doing? Why weren't they answering the phone?
So, the restless Yufeng made a phone call.
This time, the call was finally answered, but the person on the other end seemed really annoyed. "What do you want?"
"You guys have forgotten about me completely during your honeymoon, haven't you?" Yufeng was really annoyed. Humph, really, once a man gets a wife, he forgets about his brothers.
Su Yuze on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. "Yufeng, do you know what time it is here?"
"Uh..." Yufeng was stunned.
"It's two o'clock in the morning." Su Yuze said in a deep voice. "So, what on earth is so important that you're calling me?"
"Ah..." Yufeng completely forgot about the time difference. It was all because he had been delirious with fever yesterday. He coughed lightly. "I forgot..."
Su Yuze let out a long sigh. "You're crazy."
"I, I'm sorry." Yufeng scratched his head. He had just recovered from a serious illness and really wanted to talk to someone. Then he thought that Su Yuze and Su Rou were on their honeymoon. Why were they so relaxed while he still had to work!
So he just wanted to... bother them.
"..."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. You can go back to sleep." Yufeng forced a laugh. Su Yuze was such a vengeful person. He would probably take revenge on him when he got back.
No way, he had to find a place to hide before Su Yuze came back.
"Who is it, calling so late at night?" Su Rou was woken up by Su Yuze's voice. She opened her eyes slightly and asked.
"Some crazy person..." Su Yuze pulled her into his arms. "Go back to sleep."
...
Recently, Xiaoyun had been fully devoted to her studies and research. She hardly paid any attention to what was going on around her. Even when Yu Fei called, she usually didn't return the call until the next day.
"I said, Xiaoyun, you should take a break once in a while." Yu Fei said worriedly. "You've lost so much weight."
"Ah..." Xiaoyun held the phone between her shoulder and ear. "It's okay." She said casually. "The exams are coming up soon. I don't want to fail."
"Ha?" Yu Fei squinted her eyes. "But I think you'll really collapse after the exams."
"Not likely... I'm so strong." It wasn't just Xiaoyun boasting. She had gone through long - term training, so of course her physical fitness was good. "What about you? Aren't you going on a date? Hurry up!"
Yu Fei took out a bread from her bag and handed it to her. "Since ancient times, it's only natural for the guy to wait for the girl on a date."
"Humph, showing off your love will get you into trouble soon!" Xiaoyun gave her a sidelong glance.
"Come on, it was you who brought this up in the first place." Yu Fei said with a smile. "I know you probably haven't eaten anything again. I'll leave after I see you eat."
"Okay, okay, okay." Xiaoyun opened the wrapper while teasing. "Are you pregnant? That's why you're being so naggy."
"Do you think I'm like Rou Rou?"
"Haha." She felt that Yu Fei would soon become another Rou Rou.
After seeing Xiaoyun finish the bread, Yu Fei left with relief. Xiaoyun then walked back into the library and started to study hard.
She didn't stop until the library was about to close at night. Then she packed her things and prepared to go home.
As soon as she walked out of the library, it was already dark. No wonder. She had been so absorbed in her studies that she had forgotten the time.
T city was ablaze with lights at night. Looking at the roads criss - crossed with neon lights, Xiaoyun suddenly felt as if she was in another world.
Vroom, vroom, vroom -
The roar of a motorcycle came. This was the sound that Xiaoyun hated the most. People who rode like this were most likely hooligans on the street or rich kids showing off!
Xiaoyun hugged her books and silently walked on the way back to her apartment. However, the roar of the motorcycle behind her was getting closer and closer, and she could even hear shouts.
There were two people on a motorcycle. When the rider passed by Xiaoyun, he whistled at her. "Hey, girl, are you alone?"
"..." Xiaoyun ignored him and continued walking forward.
"Do you want to go play with us?"
"No."
"Don't refuse so quickly!" The man said with a smile. "Come on, come on. Studying is so tiring. Big brother will take you to relax."
"Not going."
"Don't be so cold."
Xiaoyun walked forward without looking sideways. She was hungry now and didn't want to waste her energy on these people.
...
Yufeng had just come out of the company and was about to drive home. When passing by T University, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the school gate. Time passed so fast. In the blink of an eye, Su Rou had graduated, gotten married, and even had a baby... Her life was like on fast - forward!
Right, he had heard from Yu Fei that Xiaoyun was preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. He really hadn't seen her much recently. She should still be studying.
"..." Yufeng averted his gaze. Really, it was none of his business what she was doing!
Yufeng rolled his eyes and then drove forward. After driving for a while, "Ah..." He saw a familiar figure not far ahead. There were two or three hooligans around her. It seemed that she was being hit on.
It was obvious that Xiaoyun wanted to leave, but she was always surrounded by these men. Although Yufeng couldn't hear what they were saying, from their constantly moving lips and the smirk on their faces, he could easily guess that they must be saying something vulgar.
"Damn it, aren't you good at fighting? Why aren't you making a move..." Yufeng was a bit confused when he saw that Xiaoyun didn't seem to be planning to fight back. What was wrong with her?
Just as he saw a man's hand about to touch Xiaoyun's cheek, he couldn't stand it anymore. He pressed the car door with one hand and opened the door handle...
"Ah -"
A man's scream came. Yufeng stopped his action and watched as the three guys fell to the ground. He basically didn't even see how Xiaoyun had moved, and those guys were already... on the ground.
"She's really a tomboy!" Yufeng stroked his chin and sighed.
Seeing that Xiaoyun continued walking as if nothing had happened, Yufeng closed the car door again and drove over. "Tomboy, your fighting posture is really cool!"
"Thanks for the compliment, you childish brat." Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at him.
Looking at the books in Xiaoyun's hands and her recently thinner body, for some reason, Yufeng suddenly felt a little heart - ache. So, he followed his heart. "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let me treat you."
"Are you really being this kind?" Xiaoyun clearly had some doubts.
"Hey, don't make me sound so stingy!" Yufeng said annoyed. "Do you want to eat or not? If not, forget it!" Humph, he was a bit moody.
Xiaoyun looked at Yufeng for a while and then suddenly laughed. "Sure, I can eat a lot, though." She walked to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got in. "You'd better be prepared."
"Sure, Yu Shao just gave me a bonus. I've been wondering where to spend it!" Yufeng also smiled and then started the engine.
Xiaoyun chose a high - class French restaurant. Actually, her idea was very simple. She just wanted Yufeng to spend a fortune. But... after walking in, she started to regret it.
"I'm sorry, all the regular seats are full. Only the couple's suite is available. Do you still want it?" The waitress said apologetically. "But, you two must be a couple, right? So the couple's suite should be okay, too?"
"Ah, no..."
Just as Xiaoyun was about to explain that she and Yufeng weren't that kind of relationship, she heard Yufeng ask, "Is the couple's suite... big?"
"It's the regular size, but the facilities are very good. And it's very quiet. It definitely won't bother you." The waitress said with a smile.
"Okay."
Xiaoyun looked at Yufeng. "What are you doing? We're clearly not... that kind of relationship." Xiaoyun said annoyed.
"What does it matter? We know the truth." Yufeng said and then walked towards the couple's suite. "I just recovered from a fever the other day, so I don't like places with too many people."
Xiaoyun looked at his face. "Okay."
The couple's suite really lived up to its name. Everything inside came in pairs. There were heart - shaped cushions, candles, and throw pillows, all designed for couples. Looking at these decorations, Xiaoyun couldn't help blushing. This was a bit too obvious, wasn't it?
"Why are you blushing?" Yufeng calmly saw Xiaoyun's slightly red cheeks and couldn't help teasing. "Don't tell me this is your first time in a place like this?"
"So what if it is?" Xiaoyun said impatiently.
"Really? You're already twenty - one, and you've never had a boyfriend?" Yufeng was a bit surprised. Xiaoyun was so cute and charming. It was hard to believe that she had never been in a relationship. "Su Rou and Yu Fei have both been in relationships. Why haven't you?"
Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows. "It's none of your business!"
"Oh, I know. It must be because your behavior is too tough. No one would like a tomboy like you, right?" Yufeng said with a smile and sat down. "Ha, you should change a bit once in a while..."
Xiaoyun glared at him. "I'm certainly not as promiscuous as you, President Yu."
"Tsk, I've only had two girlfriends, okay?" Yufeng explained. People could say he was irresponsible, but they couldn't say he was promiscuous.
"Oh?" Xiaoyun suddenly looked at Yufeng with great interest. "You're twenty - six and have only had two girlfriends. It must be because they couldn't stand your childishness."
"You..." Yufeng got angry. "Humph, it's still better than a tomboy who has never been in a relationship."
"Really? But I've never been hurt by a breakup." Xiaoyun smiled faintly.
"..." This tomboy. Although he had been in a relationship, he had also tasted the pain of a breakup.
"It must be really painful, right?" Xiaoyun continued.
"..." "No." He would never admit it! Especially in front of this tomboy. This tomboy was actually rubbing salt into his wounds!
At this time, the waitress outside walked in with a tray, smiling. But as soon as she walked in, she saw the two of them glaring at each other. The waitress couldn't help being stunned. Were they really a couple?
Why did it feel so tense between them? They didn't look like a couple at all. They were more like enemies!
"Uh, well, here's your food."
"Okay."
The waitress quickly placed the food on the table. "And this bouquet of roses is for the couples."
"Don't want it!"
"Take it out!"
The two said in unison, which startled the waitress. She swallowed nervously and then ran out with the roses in her arms. Wow, were the couple fighting?
So scary!
It was such a pity. In such a romantic couple's suite, they were still fighting? How strange!
Yufeng sat in front of the table. "Hurry up and eat."
"I don't need your reminder." Xiaoyun also sat down.
For a moment, there was silence between them.
