Her eyes brightening, Zhuang Nainai’s hopes grew. Was that her mother?!
She ran toward the house. Getting to the door, she quickly pushed it open!
The living room was empty, but the lights were on. It was obvious that someone had come before them.
Rushing into her mother’s bedroom, she saw that the bed was clean and spotless. There was absolutely no-one.
She immediately lowered her head in disappointment. She walked out of the master bedroom, and then suddenly heard snoring sounds coming from her own room.
Her eyes lighting up once more, she violently pushed open the door. The moonlight illuminated a figure on the bed.
Excited, Zhuang Nainai lurched forward and threw herself toward the person. “Mother!”
Just as she finished shouting this, Si Zhengting and Ji Chen walked into the room. With a flick of his hand, Si Zhengting switched on the lights in the room.
Zhuang Nainai excitedly looked at the person she was hugging and realized it was a bleary-eyed Su Yanbin who was now looking at them. Groggy, he said slowly, ”Y’all… what’s this? Why are you guys in my room?”
It was then that he realized he was being hugged by someone. Turning his head to face Zhuang Nainai, who was now uncomfortably close to him, he jumped right out of the bed!
With that, he cast a glance at Zhuang Nainai, then at Si Zhengting’s darkened face. Waving his hands frantically, he explained, “Leader Ting, believe me! There’s nothing between me and Sister-in-law! I just thought that… since this place has been unoccupied, I could take cover from my love debts for a while over here… I didn’t expect to see Sister-in-law the moment I woke up! Leader Ting, I really didn’t do anything!”
Si Zhengting was shocked.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
Ji Chen was equally speechless.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Su Yanbin got even more anxious. Hastily, he said to Zhuang Nainai, “Nainai, Sister-in-law, say something! Why are you on my bed?”
Zhuang Nainai, huffy, rolled her eyes at him. Correcting him, she said, “This is my room!”
The moment she said this, she stood up and left the room, dejected.
From seeing the light in the house to not finding anyone in the master bedroom, along with feeling the hope that there was someone in the other bedroom, her hopes had been repeatedly raised, then dashed. Now that it was clear that the person in the house was Su Yanbin and not her mother, her mood was now worse than before.
Walking into the living room, she sighed.
After a while, she saw Si Zhengting and Su Yanbin walk out of the bedroom. She had no idea what transpired between them, but Su Yanbin then diligently began helping her clean up the house.
Si Zhengting cast a glance at the room, then turned and walked out.
Watching him walk out, Zhuang Nainai thought, So he’s just going to leave like that?
Even though he hadn’t forced her into doing anything, Zhuang Nainai was still a little disappointed.
Taking a deep breath, she went to boil some water to drink.
After a while, she suddenly heard a ruckus coming from outside the house. Curious, she walked out, only to see Si Zhengting standing outside. Some people were helping her to change her windows while others began moving an electric heater into her room for her.
“The weather’s getting colder. You can’t do without an air conditioner in your room, but let’s make do with an electric heater first.”
Si Zhengting had walked over and was now explaining himself to her.
His words made Zhuang Nainai feel as if her eyes were reddening. Lowering her head, she grunted.
After waiting for the people to finish installing the different appliances, Si Zhengting went out once more to get her some daily necessities. It was only after that that he finally left her.
Zhuang Nainai began sorting through the daily necessities after the whole bunch of them left the house. To her surprise, she realized that there were even… sanitary… pads?!
Upon seeing the pads, she suddenly realized that… her period hadn’t been coming for a while!
