According to Ji Chengxuan's habit, he would surely take a good wash after getting home.
His obsession with cleanliness was so extreme that even Yun Que'er, a girl, couldn't help sighing in self - abasement when she saw it.
Calculating the time, Ji Chengxuan should have just finished washing up.
Yun Que'er checked the time and dialed the phone.
Strangely enough, there was no busy tone before the call connected. The receiver was completely silent.
What was going on? Had the phone line come loose?
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Suddenly, a male voice came from the receiver.
Yun Que'er was startled. The receiver in her hand dropped onto the table with a loud thud.
It wasn't Ji Chengxuan's voice. Could it be a ghost?
"What's going on?"
"I thought it was your end."
Yun Que'er looked at the still - sounding receiver in horror. Vaguely, she recognized that one of the voices belonged to Yun Yi. Only then did she come to her senses.
It wasn't that she had seen a ghost. It was just that Yun Yi had never hung up the phone.
There used to be only one phone in their house, placed in Yun Motan's room.
Later, for Yun Yi's convenience in contacting her classmates, a phone line was also installed in her room. However, the two rooms shared the same line.
When a call came in here, it would ring in the other room too.
Of course, when someone in the other room made a call, the people here could also hear what was said.
But it was so late. Why was Yun Yi still chatting with someone, and a man at that?
Yun Que'er didn't intend to eavesdrop at first, but their voices were so loud.
"Why aren't you talking again?"
The male voice sounded a bit helpless, but clearly full of doting.
Yun Yi snorted on her end, "You made me angry."
Yun Que'er's skin crawled.
It was the first time she had ever heard Yun Yi speak in such a soft and tender voice. It was so sweet that it seemed to drip water. It was really different from her usual self.
Yun Que'er really couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly tried to hang up the phone.
But during this short time, the conversation over there didn't stop.
"Come on, stop being angry. It's not easy for us to talk on the phone at night. Don't waste time arguing. I swear I won't make you angry again."
Yun Yi responded coquettishly and then let out a charming laugh.
Yun Que'er abruptly hung up the phone and covered her chest with a lingering fear.
She had just eaten a huge melon, and it was a live - version one.
Fortunately, Yun Yi over there was busy flirting and didn't notice that the phone conversation had been leaked. Otherwise, Yun Que'er would surely be "chopped off" by Yun Yi.
After being in a daze for a while, Yun Que'er finally came to her senses.
It seemed that Yun Yi was in love...
Yun Yi was already eighteen years old. In the old days, she could have had a child by now. Not long ago, she was recommended to a good university because of her excellent academic performance and didn't need to compete with others in the college entrance examination. It was understandable for her to be in love.
But suddenly learning this news, Yun Que'er was still full of shock.
She really didn't expect that among the four siblings in the family, two were already married, and another one had a boyfriend.
Only then did Yun Que'er realize that she was the only one in the family who hadn't grown up yet.
This time, Yun Que'er suffered from a complete bout of insomnia. When she got up the next morning, there were two huge dark circles under her eyes.
When she went out and ran into Yun Yi, Yun Yi was startled by her.
"Did you sneak off to a disco last night? Why do you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes? You look like you've been beaten up."
Yun Que'er had a hard time explaining and could only think in her heart that it was all Yun Yi's fault.
"It's nothing... I'm just not used to the new mattress yet."
Yun Yi covered her mouth and giggled, "But last night you were protecting it like a treasure and didn't let Ji Chengxuan sit on it."
Yun Que'er sighed.
She really wondered how her sister could observe her while waiting for her boyfriend's phone call.
After sending Yun Yi away, Yun Que'er ate a little something casually and then went to school.
But she couldn't concentrate in class at all. Her mind was full of Yun Yi's flirting with her boyfriend last night.
The more Yun Que'er thought about it, the more something seemed off. Although Yun Yi didn't need to take the college entrance examination and there was no risk of her studies being affected by falling in love, what if that boy was a bad guy?
Finally, after a long day of school, Yun Que'er decided to find out.
Well! She was just doing this for her sister's sake. It was definitely not out of gossip!
Yun Que'er quickly packed her schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom. She headed straight for the bike shed. Ji Chengxuan chased after her desperately but couldn't catch up.
"What's wrong with her?" Ji Chengxuan scratched his head in confusion.
Over there, Yun Que'er had already forgotten how careful she usually was when riding her bike. She was speeding recklessly on the road, heading straight for Yun Yi's school.
She remembered that Yun Motan had once suggested that since Yun Yi had been recommended to a university, there was no need for her to go to school anymore. She could just stay at home and rest well before starting college.
But Yun Yi refused on the grounds that she didn't want to be special and that she was reluctant to part with her classmates.
Now that she thought about it, Yun Que'er realized that Yun Yi was probably going to school for that boy.
Moreover, that boy was either Yun Yi's classmate or at least from the same school.
Once Yun Que'er thought of this, she didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Fortunately, high school classes ended an hour later than junior high school. Yun Que'er rushed there in time.
She parked her bike far away, put on her hood, and hid behind a small stall across from the school, peeping secretly.
The students were getting out of class one after another. Although the senior - three students had evening self - study, there was an hour in between for dinner. Yun Yi would definitely come out.
Yun Que'er almost held her breath and didn't dare to blink for fear of missing something.
Suddenly, someone slapped Yun Que'er hard on the back.
"Hey! What are you doing here?"
Yun Que'er was greatly startled. When she turned around, she found that it was Ji Chengxuan standing behind her.
"Why is it you again!" Yun Que'er roared angrily.
"Why can't it be me?" Ji Chengxuan shrugged, looking extremely innocent. "I saw you rushing off right after school. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I followed you to check. Is that not okay?"
"But why did you have to pat me? Do you know I have something important to do!"
Yun Que'er anxiously turned her head and looked around. Her heart grew colder and colder.
There were hardly any students left by now. She was afraid that Yun Yi had come out while she was talking to Ji Chengxuan.
Yun Que'er was extremely anxious, fearing that she had really missed something.
"Why are you acting so sneaky?"
Ji Chengxuan curiously craned his neck.
"Don't say a word!" Yun Que'er suddenly covered Ji Chengxuan's mouth.
