nNing Meng was frightened and her hands trembled when she saw that voice call. She sat up immediately.

nShe stared at her phone for a short while before picking it up and putting it on speaker mode.

n

n

nThe night was dark and everything else was so quiet.

nShe had switched off the light in her bedroom. No one was talking on the phone, she could only hear his breathing clearly.

nNing Meng was nervous, and she held her breath.

nAfter a short while, the man broke the silence first.

n

n

nHis soft laughter seemed like a stone that had been thrown into a pond in her calm and quiet heart, creating endless ripples.

n“Why aren’t you talking?”

nThe man’s voice came to her through the phone. His voice became rather deep and sentimental.

nNing Meng forced her fluttering heart to calm down as she said slowly, “Lord Chen, you’re the one who sent me the message first, shouldn’t you be the one who talks first?”

n

n

nThen, she realized that she sounded sweet and cute. So, she coughed immediately and said in a more normal voice. “Is there anything?”

nThe man spoke in a deep voice. “I need to be away on business for three days.”

nWas he telling her about his schedule?

nThe thought delighted Ning Meng. It was as though she had eaten some honey and she felt a whole lot of sweetness in her heart.

nShe replied softly, “Alright.”

n“What did you eat tonight?”

n

n

nNing Meng told him what she had eaten gently and slowly. Then, she asked him, “Have you eaten?”

n“No.”

nThe man did not speak much although he was the one who had called her.

nNing Meng said playfully, “Lord Chen, although nothing counts but love, you should really go and eat something. Don’t go starving.”

nThe man was stunned. He asked back, “Nothing counts but love?”

nNing Meng was stunned.

n“Fine, I’ll go and drink some water now.”

nNing Meng was speechless.

n

n

nIn the past, she could easily say all kinds of nice and lovey-dovey things, moreover, she felt nothing when she said those kinds of things to Huo Beichen. However, she became nervous all of a sudden when Huo Beichen repeated what she had said when he responded to her.

nNing Meng could feel that her cheeks were burning hot, and not knowing what else to say, she hastily said, “I…I’ll sleep first!’

nThen, she hung up the phone before he could say anything else.

nShe lay down on the bed again and covered her face.

nWhen she had finally calmed down, she realized that he had not brought up what had happened earlier on. He had not mentioned the divorce. It seemed as though he had realized that she might be embarrassed because of it. It was in the past now.

nJust when she was having all kinds of thoughts, her phone vibrated again. Ning Meng looked down and saw…

nHuo Beichen: Goodnight.jpg

nIt was a GIF of a bunny girl who was sleeping while hugging the carrot.

nNing Meng smiled. She wrote a reply: Goodnight.

nShe held the phone and lay on the bed. Then, she thought about it for a moment and opened the chatbox again before scrolling the messages up slightly. She clicked on the man’s voice message, listening to it again. “So, you were jealous today.”

nNing Meng closed her eyes.

nIt was true. She had indeed been jealous for the past few days.

nThat night, Ning Meng slept soundly. Moreover, she had a peculiar dream.

nShe returned to the time when she was still a student and Huo Beichen had been playing basketball. She handed him a bottle of water.

nHe gulped down the water under the sunlight, his Adam’s apple moving up and down. There were even some sweatdrops rolling down his neck from his cheeks.

nIt was sexy and seductive.

nShe laughed and said something as the man smiled and said, “I don’t want to eat anything else since nothing counts but love, isn’t it?”

nIn the morning, Ning Meng woke up in a daze feeling slightly blurry.

nShe stared at the ceiling as she puzzled about it.

nThat dream had seemed quite real.

nIt was so real that it seemed as though it was an event that had happened before…
