Watching Lin Yu pull the blanket over her, Xiang Tiange slowly sat up and hugged it to her chest.
Lin Yu’s warmth seemed to linger in the covers, vivid and unmistakable.
“Such an idiot… Why did I pretend to be asleep...?”
Xiang Tiange thumped herself on the head, muttering in frustration.
After giving in to a moment of impulsiveness—
and then taking a cold shower—
she had calmed down considerably as she sat on the bed.
So much so that she had no idea how to face Lin Yu when he came out.
He was Little Chi’s classmate and close friend.
And he even lived under the same roof as Little Chi.
Yet she had gone behind Little Chi’s back and secretly... with Lin Yu...
“Phew...”
Xiang Tiange let out a long breath, trying to soothe her uneasy nerves.
She still had no idea how she was supposed to get along with Little Chi and Lin Yu from now on.
Everything felt like a dream.
So unreal.
After spacing out for quite a while, Xiang Tiange suddenly remembered that Lin Yu had sent her several messages before leaving.
She immediately grabbed the phone from her bedside table and checked them.
“Lin Yu: I cleaned up the room. This was the most unforgettable night of my life.”
“Lin Yu: Sweet dreams. Hopefully, I’ll be in them.”
“Lin Yu: Next time, will you invite me over to your place? Or should I invite you out?”
“Lin Yu: You’re not going to wake up and deliberately start avoiding me, are you?”
“Lin Yu: Good night, good night~”
As she read Lin Yu’s messages, Xiang Tiange’s eyes reddened.
Lin Yu had not said anything particularly moving, yet she found herself deeply touched.
“Where is he now...?”
Xiang Tiange murmured to herself.
Ignoring the soreness in her body, she sprang out of bed and hurried to the window without even putting on her shoes. Pulling back the curtains, she looked down into the residential complex.
The small road by the entrance was the only way out of the complex.
Even if she could only catch one distant glimpse of him, Xiang Tiange would have been happy.
“Huh?”
She stared toward the pool of light beneath the streetlamp for quite a while, but Lin Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Strange.
Given Lin Yu’s walking pace, he should have reached that winding stretch of road by now, shouldn’t he?
Had he walked too quickly? Had she missed him?
That shouldn’t be possible.
After watching for another minute or two, Xiang Tiange was nearly ready to give up.
She picked up her phone, wondering whether she should reply to Lin Yu’s messages.
Then, in the next moment—
Lin Yu suddenly stepped into the light.
He jokingly waved up at her.
Xiang Tiange instinctively ducked her head, trying to avoid his gaze.
But then she thought—
Wait, that wasn’t right!
The lights in her living room were off. There was no way Lin Yu could see her.
Hmph!
Was he putting on an act again?
What Xiang Tiange did not know was that Lin Yu’s eyes were as sharp as a cat’s in the dark.
Let alone a figure hiding in the shadows—he could see clearly exactly what Xiang Tiange was wearing.
Just as he had expected, the girl had come to the window to secretly watch him.
Lin Yu did not linger for long.
He made his way slowly along the road, turning back from time to time to wave toward the window.
Making sure Xiang Tiange could see him.
Afterward, a girl’s emotions could be especially volatile.
She needed a man’s reassurance even more.
Lin Yu was not the kind of guy to just walk away after getting what he wanted.
He knew that well.
...
On the way back, Lin Yu did not call a cab. Instead, he strolled toward Pingchuan University’s athletic field.
By the time I reached the area near the sports field, it was fully daylight.
Sigh.
Going home to sleep at this hour might end up waking the people in the apartment.
Better to power through the night and enjoy twice the happiness.
