The result of last night's 'fight' was that Sui Yuan didn't get out of bed until midday. In contrast, that person who had a 'miserable and gloomy atmosphere' and was 'drinking his worries away' appeared refreshed, not appearing hungover in the least. He was pleased as punch.
Although the young married couple had fought and quickly made up last night — any issues between the two could be resolved with a bit of tumbling between the sheets. Perhaps it was because Zhao Xihe played around a little too much this time but Sui Yuan still wasn't happy with him. Rather, it seemed like they had fun last night — maybe too much fun last night — that Sui Yuan wasn't happy with him? In summary, Zhao Xihe tried his best to fawn over Sui Yuan and atone for his sins afterwards. Of course, he was perfectly happy and willing to do this.
They entangled themselves with one another on the bed until it was past 11 o'clock. During this time, all kinds of immoral activities a.k.a., 'ma.s.saging but actually taking advantage of you' occured. Fortunately, Zhao Xihe still had some semblance of self-control and graciously restrained himself at this time, not daring to do it till the end. Finally, Sui Yuan, who was teased until his whole body flushed red, kicked him out of bed to order takeout since he was unbearably hungry.
After going down to the restaurant, the server who greeted Zhao Xihe was a familiar person. It was the kind little sister who had helped Sui Yuan drag Zhao Xihe to their room. After all, both Zhao Xihe and Sui Yuan were good-looking. In addition, there was the matter of that 'break-up' that evoked sympathy from other people. Together, this left a profound impression of Zhao Xihe on the female server, enabling her to recognize him with just a glance.
…However, he didn't look heartbroken at all right now. On the contrary, he looked like he had gotten what he had wished for. Why on earth did he suddenly appear so satisfied? Did she miss something?
The female server donned a standard service-person smile and wrote down Zhao Xihe's order while imagining all sorts of things in her head. A moment later, she noticed that Zhao Xihe's order was clearly not just for one person but two — it couldn't be that his friend had taken care of him all night and hadn't gone home? Then, what's that 'laozi is at the peak of happiness' aura coming from him all about?!
The female server is a fujos.h.i.+. Fujos.h.i.+s have an innate sense for these kind of things. Immediately, the gaze she directed at Zhao Xihe became unreadable.
It was just, last night that the female server had asked too much about the clients' personal matters and further gossiped about it with her coworkers to entertain themselves during downtime. However, she was caught by her supervisor and scolded fiercely. Therefore, even though she was very curious right now, she could only firmly suppress it. It was simply too stifling to the point of almost suffering an internal injury!
Zhao Xihe didn't pay any attention to the server girl's look of wanting to say something but hesitating. He was currently in a hurry to go back and have a lovey-dovey meal with Sui Yuan. He politely thanked her and immediately turned around to return to their room.
Sui Yuan, who had been tossed around until he couldn't even raise an arm, naturally accepted Zhao Xihe's extremely eager and attentive feeding service. However, his expression grew worse and worse. When he had regained some of his strength, he decided to immediately leave this 'heartbreaking place' to seek asylum and find solace in his comfortable little nest. Meanwhile, Zhao Xihe, who had been longing to enter Sui Yuan's home since they had first met in this world, naturally could not miss this good opportunity.
While he supported his aching waist as he headed downstairs, Zhao Xihe walked next to him wearing a fawning expression, looking ready to lend him a hand at any time. Sui Yuan's expression made it easy for any person with a shred of common sense to deduce what had occurred. Of course, the female server who had long been paying attention to them also noticed.
The female server who had just put an end to her imaginative thoughts confirmed her conjecture after laying eyes on Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe. Dogblooded plots such as 'went drinking with a friend after a break-up, unexpectedly made a drunken mistake, with a freak combination of factors leading to his discovery of who he truly loved '; along with other conspiracy plots like 'pretending to be heartbroken to drag his secret crush to go drinking, act drunk and do things afterwards, and succeed in getting some action'…all kinds of interesting scenarios spiraled around the female server's head. The gaze she used to look at Zhao Xihe and Sui Yuan was especially scorching.
Naturally, the sensitive Sui Yuan could feel her gaze. He subconsciously tilted his head to glance at last night's female server. The other's gaze was too intense. Although it made Sui Yuan's scalp feel a bit numb, his good upbringing would not allow him to ignore her.
Thus, Sui Yuan expressionlessly nodded to the girl in greeting. Subsequently, Zhao Xihe scrutinized the girl, examining her with vigilance.
The female server simply did not know what to say to Zhao Xihe's attack range that was as ridiculously large as that of a weapon of ma.s.s destruction. It was clear that he was putting in a great effort to chase that person. He regarded anything that even moved to be a formidable enemy, as if he was afraid that the person in his arms would accidentally be taken away.
In order to show that she was a friend and not foe, the female server revealed a standard service-person smile, exposing a row of 8 teeth, "May all be well with your love! Although it's a day late, Happy Valentine's Day! May the two of you live to a ripe old age in conjugal bliss. May you live a long and happy life together!"
Sui Yuan, stupefied:"………………"
Zhao Xihe, smiling:"Thank you."
While she watched Zhao Xihe leave as he modestly grabbed Sui Yuan's waist with a rapidly warming expression, the female server secretly raised her fist in triumph. She felt that her motivation today was through the roof! She was itching to get off work and go home so that she could gossip online.
En…what should the subject line be? It absolutely had to be beautiful, pa.s.sionate, and amusing!
Therefore, Sui Yuan's and Zhao Xihe's date created two popular threads: one was the movie theatre ticket seller's confession that was full of her grievances and regret, and the other was the female hotel server's happy and high spirited blessings — of course, aside from the persons involved, no one connected these two threads together.
Because of Sui Yuan's body's condition, Zhao Xihe unyieldingly took up the task of driving. He first went to his previous hotel and efficiently checked out of the room with his luggage that he had packed up earlier. Then, they went back to Sui Yuan's apartment, and he officially invaded Sui Yuan's personal territory in this world.
Although he was still unhappy with Zhao Xihe's deeds and conduct, Sui Yuan knew that he could not stop him and was simply too lazy to waste his energy and strength — anyway, he had long since known that Zhao Xihe would run over here to live with him. When he went to purchase things for the place, he had subconsciously bought two of everything.
While watching Zhao Xihe happily unpack his things, Sui Yuan who was sitting on the sofa suddenly thought of [Hua Xinlei] who had been sacrificed by Zhao Xihe.
"…What happened to [Hua Xinlei]? Why did you come over here instead of him? You didn't do anything to him, right?" Zhao Xihe shoved a couple's keychain that he had bought yesterday into Sui Yuan's hand. Sui Yuan silently hung it on his key loop and asked that question at the same time — en, it was just because he had too much time on his hands that he had considered using these kinds of couple things with Zhao Xihe!
