Chapter 181 - Go Find Luo Xiaoxi (1)
Su Jianan missed someone—Su Yicheng.
For the second half of the month, he was so busy that he was overturned. He was exerting too much effort every day, but in the evening, he still had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep.
Sleeping pills had side effects. If he took them this way, he would have a bigger problem sooner or later.
The doctor told him that there were a small number of people in the world who were special. Some of them could only sleep on the bus, while some could only sleep on the benches in the park. The doctor recommended that he tried something new to find a comfortable way to fall asleep naturally. Or, he could recall the place and process of the last time when he slept well.
In fact, he did not need to do that because he slept better than he did over the past five to six years that day at Luo Xiaoxi’s place.
After he finished a meal with some clients, it was already past ten o’clock. Su Yicheng remembered that he had not been to the hospital to see Su Jianan because he was too busy. After getting into the car, he opened a window to some fresh air in and dialed Su Jianan’s number.
“Xiaoxi just called me too.” Su Jianan said, “She trained until too late today and said she would sleep in the apartment in the downtown.”
Su Yicheng felt something tickling in his heart. Then, he hung up the phone after asking about Su Jianan’s recovery situation. Xiao Chen asked, “Brother Cheng, will we go home?”
“We’ll go…”
He almost blurted out the address of Luo Xiaoxi’s apartment and fortunately restrained himself in time. He could not see her yet.
The “Top Model” was just around the corner, and he had to wait until the end of the game anyway.
In the end, Su Yicheng nodded and Xiao Chen started the car. The black car galloped toward the apartment where he lived.
When they were about to arrive, Su Yicheng asked Xiao Chen to park on the ground parking lot. He asked Xiao Chen to take a taxi back home, and then he was sitting in the car and enjoyed the blowing wind.
Xiao Chen just found Su Yicheng somewhat strange, but he did not dare to ask so he said, “Take care of you.”
Su Yicheng nodded and rubbed his temple. After a while, he felt a shadow approaching him.
He was natural as alert as Lu Boyan, and he sobered up in an instant. He looked out of the car with a pair of keen eyes, only to see Zhang Mei.
“I just want to see you.” Zhang Mei stood outside the car. “Are you feeling uncomfortable? A headache?”
“No.” Su Yicheng pushed the door open. “When did you come?”
“More than an hour ago, the administrator of the apartment said that you have not returned yet, so I wait for you here.”
Zhang Mei was a bit strange. Her voice was out of tune and her hair was scattered. If Su Yicheng did not know her, he probably would have taken her as a mad woman.
She added, “I didn’t want to bother you, just want to see you and leave.” But I saw that you didn’t get off the car and thought you were not feeling well.”
“I am fine.” Su Yicheng put down his hand on the temple. “Go home; I will call a taxi for you.”
“No!” Zhang Mei rushed to Su Yicheng and hugged him. “Don’t drive me away, don’t do this to me, I’m begging you.” I love you, I really love you.”
Su Yicheng tossed Zhang Mei’s hands. “I’ve done my best. I protect your reputation for the sake of Uncle Zhang.” Zhang Mei, don’t come to me again in the future. I have already told you clearly that we are impossible.”
“Do you love Luo Xiaoxi?” Zhang Mei gazed at Su Yicheng almost madly. “But your family doesn’t agree with your relationship, don’t you know that? Her father wants her to marry Qin Wei, so you can’t be together. Qin Wei also said that he’s bound to win Luo Xiaoxi over.”
Su Yicheng’s eyes went cold. He suddenly clenched his fists and then slowly released them. “Order a taxi yourself.”
He got in the car, started it, and headed for Luo Xiaoxi’s apartment.
Soon, Su Yicheng’s car disappeared out of Zhang Mei’s sight, and finally, she could not even see the two taillights…
Zhang Mei’s nails almost bit into her palm, and her eyes were filled with deep hatred…
She had worked in Cheng An for so many years and finally became the chief secretary just to get Su Yicheng.
However, now, Su Yicheng told her that they were impossible. Her past effort was all in vain.
No, she must do something. Otherwise, she was not ready to let him go!
…
The doorbell rang madly when Luo Xiaoxi was holding a glass of boiled water and watching a movie on the sofa in the living room.
She was shocked and jumped up to look carefully through the see-through holes on the door. She was just about to call the police when she saw Su Yicheng’s face.
Didn’t he say that he would see her after the “Top Model”? What was he doing now?
Between her thinking, the doorbell rang madly again, and Luo Xiaoxi could only hurriedly opened the door lest she disturbed the neighbors. “Su Yicheng…”
Before she finished her words, Su Yicheng had already come in. He slammed the door closed with his hand behind him and grabbed her hand. Nevertheless, he just stared at her without moving a muscle.
Luo Xiaoxi sniffed around his body. “Have you’ve been drinking?” Then, she saw the car key in his hand and snatched it at once. “And drive by yourself? Are you out of your mind?”
Su Yicheng handed his mobile phone to Luo Xiaoxi. “Call Xiao Chen to send me two sets of clothes.” When he finished, he went inside the room.
Luo Xiaoxi was even more confused, so she asked again, “Is there something wrong? So you escape to my place?
“Yes.” Su Yicheng did not know how to explain it to Luo Xiaoxi, so he simply agreed with her words and urged. “You should call Xiao Chen now, otherwise, he should be at home.”
Luo Xiaoxi did not look like she was making a call. “Even if something really happened, you have so many real estates and hotels, where else can’t you go?” Why are you coming to me?”
“I like it here.” Su Yicheng put on a proud look. “Are you supposed to be happy?”
“Happy, my foot!” Luo Xiaoxi almost exploded, “Is my place a hotel to you?” You come and go at your own free will, don’t you?”
“Do you want me to stay?” Su Yicheng smiled and said, “Well, I will pack my things up and move over tomorrow.”
Luo Xiaoxi was speechless for a long while. “Su Yicheng, what’s wrong with your brain?”
Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi earnestly and said, “Xiaoxi, I know what I am doing.”
Luo Xiaoxi. “…” However, why did she see Su Yicheng not sober in every aspect?
“I’ll take a shower.” Su Yicheng walked to the bathroom on his own. “It’s up to you whether you want Xiao Chen to send me clothes or not.”
He then swooshed the bathroom door close. Luo Xiaoxi was petrified.
Was this all in her fantasy? Was she still sitting on the sofa watching a movie? Su Yicheng, or whatever, actually did not show up, right?
Soon, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom. Luo Xiaoxi finally realized it was not a dream. Su Yicheng really came and was taking a shower in her bathroom.
She did not have men’s clothes here. What would he wear after the shower?
Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and dialed Xiao Chen’s number and asked him to send Su Yicheng’s clothes.
To her surprise, Xiao Chen seemed to have guessed that Su Yicheng would come to her because he replied calmly. “I will send his clothes and daily necessities in 20 minutes.”
Luo Xiaoxi hung up the phone and ran to knock on the bathroom door. “Take your time; Xiao Chen will arrive in 20 minutes.”
“Got it.”
Su Yicheng seemed in a good mood. He actually hummed Luo Xiaoxi’s favorite French song in the bathroom. He paused in the middle to ask Luo Xiaoxi, “Am I good singer?”
Luo Xiaoxi did not know whether to laugh or cry. The intuition told her that Su Yicheng was a bit strange, but… she really enjoyed the weird Su Yicheng.
Before Xiao Chen arrived, Luo Xiaoxi took the chance to fetch a clean set of bedding to place it on the sofa of the living room. Just as she finished, the doorbell rang again.
It was Xiao Chen who. He handed her a bag from outside the door. She took the opportunity to ask, “What happened to Su Yicheng?”
Xiao Chen knew that Su Yicheng had had trouble sleeping recently so he smiled. “Nothing, he is too tired. Miss Luo, you take care of him for me. I’ll go now.”
Luo Xiaoxi mumbled something, looking at Xiao Chen’s back.
As she closed the door and returned to the living room, she heard Su Yicheng calling in the bathroom. “Xiaoxi?”
She took the bag Xiao Chen sent and handed it to Su Yicheng through the crack between the door and the frame. “Here, take it.”
Su Yicheng changed into pajamas and looked at the time. It was almost midnight. When he was about to say something, he suddenly found that Luo Xiaoxi looked not quite right.
Luo Xiaoxi just did not dare to look directly into Su Yicheng’s eyes.
Though she had chased after him for more than ten years, had charged into his apartment early in the morning and saw him in pajamas, the current atmosphere… was too strange.
Middle of the night, a man and a woman in a room…
Even when apart, these twelve words sounded ambiguous, not to mention being put together.
“I’ll go back to my room to sleep.”
Then, she lowered her head to storm into the bedroom. When she lay down on the bed, she found that Su Yicheng also followed.
Her eyes widened. “What are you doing here?” I already put a sheet and pillow on the sofa!”
“I can’t sleep on the sofa.” Su Yicheng closed the door naturally.
The click of the door seemed to also tap on Luo Xiaoxi’s heart. She wanted to shrink into the bed, but no, Su Yicheng was the one to blame. Why would she feel afraid instead?
“Su Yicheng!” She looked at Su Yicheng with a self-confident look. “You don’t want to mess with me!” I… We are still nothing now!”
Su Yicheng raised the corner of his lips. “I just want to sleep now, what are you fantasizing about?”
“Sleep outside!” Luo Xiaoxi had been used to all kinds of implicit jokes, so she would not blush or feel embarrassed at what Su Yicheng said. “This is my room! Or… do you want to share a bed with me?”
Su Yicheng lifted his eyebrows. “We’ll get to that sooner or later.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi lost 50% of her health points in an instant.
Su Yicheng pushed it and lifted up the quilt to lie down on the bed. “Turn off the light.”
Luo Xiaoxi was about to lose all of her health points, but fortunately, she woke up in the nick of time and kicked Su Yicheng. “What do you want? Get into my room and now you want to crawl onto my bed? Get off!”
Damn, did he think she was a little lamb? No, she was a lion!
Su Yicheng slightly narrowed his eyes, grabbed Luo Xiaoxi by the wrist and dragged her to his side to pin her on the bed. “I haven’t seen you for a few days, and now you think you’ve grown up?”
“Su Yicheng, you have a bad memory.” Luo Xiaoxi poked his chest. “After that party, we haven’t seen each other for at least more than 20 days, well, a month at most. And Jianan has been in the hospital for half a month. How can you say it’s just a few days?” Is it because you dream of me every day?”
Su Yicheng smiled. “Xiaoxi, you’re afraid.”
He did not deliberately get to know things about Luo Xiaoxi, but being pestered by her for so many years, he knew one thing, and that was when she was afraid, she tended to talk a lot, just like now. For those who did not know her, they could never see through her.
Unfortunately, he knew about her in some aspects.
As expected, Luo Xiaoxi’s face froze, and then she quickly looked away. “Who is afraid of you?”
Su Yicheng thought about it and felt that the best way to stop her from talking back was to cover her mouth.
