After the meal, Bo Xiao very consciously took away the cutlery. Hearing the sound of the dishes being washed in the kitchen, An Rao’s heart was in turmoil.
How did this happen?
An Rao’s mind was filled with a lot of things, so she did not notice that Bo Xiao had already come out of the kitchen.
“You’ve come back to your senses.” Bo Xiao waved his hand in front of An Rao. “I’ve already scrounged for food. Let me sleep here too.”
??
An Rao’s eyes widened. She was shocked by Bo Xiao’s magical thinking. “Dream on.”
The corners of Bo Xiao’s lips curled up. “I’ll sleep for a few hours. I have to leave at midnight.”
He had originally planned to return to China for a few days, but just as he arrived at the Beijing airport, Continent F called him. It had been too chaotic over there recently, as if someone had deliberately provoked friction between the countries. He had to go back.
He had already turned around to return to Continent F when he saw the wallpaper on his phone. He had to apply to the higher-ups for a few hours before he could come to An Rao for a meal.
An Rao was speechless for a moment, but the strange atmosphere between her and Bo Xiao still made her stubborn. “No, leave quickly.”
“Alright.” Bo Xiao sighed.
At that moment, being close, An Rao saw the fatigue in Bo Xiao’s eyes. She watched as Bo Xiao slowly walked out the door and was about to disappear.
“Wait a minute.” An Rao’s heart softened.
A smile flashed across Bo Xiao’s eyes. He turned around and walked back into the house. He lay on the sofa without acknowledging the unfamiliarity. “I’ll sleep for a while.” Then, he closed his eyes.
He had retired from Continent F’s battlefield and rushed back without stopping. He had not slept for too long and was already very tired.
Soon, Bo Xiao fell asleep. An Rao squatted beside him and watched him for a while. Then, she got up and went to the bedroom to get a blanket and covered Bo Xiao with it.
The moon was high in the sky, and the traffic outside the window was already very sparse. Bo Xiao opened his eyes amid the fragrance that lingered in his nose and looked at his phone. It was half-past eleven in Beijing.
Bo Xiao lifted the blanket. It was An Rao’s scent.
At this moment, An Rao came over with a bowl of noodles, looking a little awkward. “Thank you for your gift. Eat this before you leave.”
Bo Xiao looked at the pile of beef in his bowl and his eyes lit up.
The fragrance of the noodles lingered in the room, and the light cast a warm glow on the two of them.
Bo Xiao took the bowl and chopsticks and finished the noodles. An Rao watched him eat from the side.
The room was silent.
The clock gradually pointed to midnight. “I’m leaving.” Bo Xiao washed the dishes and smiled at An Rao.
“Wait.” Just as Bo Xiao was about to leave, An Rao walked into the bedroom and pinched something.
An Rao stuffed the things into Bo Xiao’s pocket. “Bye, be careful.”
Looking at An Rao’s awkward expression, Bo Xiao was a little amused. “I’ve been busy these few days. When I have time, I’ll play games with you.”
“Okay.” An Rao nodded.
Bo Xiao gave An Rao one last deep look, then pushed open the door and left.
When they got into the car downstairs, Bo Xiao took out the thing in his pocket.
It was a red string with a black bead on it. There was a Buddhist seal on it.
Bo Xiao knew what it was.
This was the famous Peace Pearl of the Kingdom Protector Temple outside the city. It had been blessed and was specially used to ensure the safety of people.
Bo Xiao stroked his Buddha beads a few times and suddenly smiled. He called An Rao.
“What’s wrong? Did you leave something behind?”
“It’s nothing. Goodnight, An Rao.”
It was clearly a very normal conversation, but in the darkness, it was like a ball of fire that burned their hearts.
After hanging up the phone, An Rao’s heart was itchy and numb. She did not have the mood to sleep at all. She wanted to find someone to share her current mood, but when she looked at the time, it was already past midnight.
With Xia Wanyuan’s habits, she must have fallen asleep long ago.
However, she did not expect Xia Wanyuan to send her a WeChat voice message.
“Hey, sister, how did you know I didn’t sleep!” An Rao was shocked. Could it be that Xia Wanyuan could not only be good at literary and martial, but also fortune-telling? She was really amazing.
“Because Bo Xiao is back.” Xia Wanyuan quickly answered.
Bo Xiao would definitely look for An Rao when he returned. It would be strange if An Rao could sleep.
“…” It was An Rao’s turn to stop talking. After a while, she thought of something. “But why didn’t you sleep at this time? Where’s CEO Jun? Didn’t he accompany you?”
Hearing An Rao mention Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was furious.
In the afternoon, she wore the rabbit’s headdress to play games with Xiao Bao. When she returned to the bedroom, she had forgotten to take it off. In the end, Jun Shiling saw it and insisted that she had done it on purpose.
He used this as an excuse to fool around with her for a few hours.
Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had gone too far. This time, he was not allowed to enter the room no matter what, but without Jun Shiling by her side, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep, so she called An Rao.
“Ignore him. Play games? You haven’t gone to King, right?” Xia Wanyuan switched on King of Glory.
“Okay, okay! Sister, take me flying!” An Rao hurriedly started the game.
In the living room, the servants had already gone to sleep. Jun Shiling was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas.
After his previous two experiences, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan would definitely come out to look for him later.
However, after an hour, there was no movement in the master bedroom.
Jun Shiling got up and went upstairs. He stood at the door and listened. The game announcement “Five Peerless” came from inside.
“…….”
Jun Shiling suddenly had the idea of buying King of Glory.
Why do you open the server in the middle of the night? You’re hurting people.
