He spoke coldly from outside, “Are you in there?”
She was doomed, probably Bo Yan had felt something amiss about him and was here to settle accounts!
Xia Siyu was so startled inside that she dared not answer, but Bo Yan spoke again from outside, “Come out, 1 need to use the bathroom.”
Xia Siyu dilly-dallied for a long time, even deliberately pressed the flush button on the toilet and turned on the tap, to show that she had indeed used the facilities.
Then she came out, looking down guiltily, not daring to glance at him.
Bo Yan didn’t pay her any attention, striding into the bathroom and then immediately shutting the door.
Xia Siyu was left outside, and over there, Wei Jingjing was whispering, “Is that
Bo Yan?”
Xia Siyu uttered a sound of acknowledgment.
“Did he hear everything we just said?”
Xia Siyu shook her head in bewilderment, “l don’t know.”
Wei Jingjing wanted to say more, but then someone called her from above, “Jingjing, what are you hiding here for?”
It was Qin Baizhou’s voice, and then Wei Jingjing quickly hung up the call, probably not wanting him to know about Xia Siyu’s matter.
Xia Siyu sat disconsolately on the edge of the bed, looking at the disheveled sheets, her head aching a bit.
Well, it actually wasn’t her fault. Who asked him to come back early? Who asked him to sleep beside her without a word after coming back? She didn’t mean to pull off his clothes. After all, he was a man and she was a woman, and as adults, they shouldn’t accuse each other of taking advantage.
Thinking back to the last encounter, which was also with him, it had to be traced back to the distant seven years ago. Back then, he was younger, more driven, and more…
While she was lost in her thoughts, the sound of the toilet flushing came from the bathroom, and then Bo Yan opened the door.
Their eyes met.
In the air, an unspeakable undercurrent filled the space between them as they each had something to say but didn’t know how to start.
After a short pause, Bo Yan was the first to speak, “About last night, we…”
But before he could finish, Xia Siyu interrupted him, “Let’s just pretend nothing happened last night. No, actually, nothing did happen. I didn’t do anything to you, and you… um, you probably didn’t do anything to me either. We are both adults, it was merely a sleepover, although I accidentally tore your clothes, I swear I was completely asleep at that time. You know I’m a troubled sleeper, I had no malicious intent! And since I’m a woman and you’re a man, if anyone was at a disadvantage, it would be me. But I’m generous enough not to make a big deal out of it. After all, you came back secretly, without even telling me, you should have woken me up and split the bed into two, so we could sleep separately, without disturbing each other.”
She explained at length, with two central points: one, nothing happened between us. Two, there was a reason for the event, and it wasn’t her fault.
It sounded like a cad who did not want to take responsibility after having his way.
Having said that, she looked up with hope in her eyes, “What do you think?”
On the other side, Bo Yan had maintained a calm expression, but upon hearing her version of events, his brows gradually furrowed when she wasn’t looking. In the end, he actually smiled.
His lips curled into a smirk, the corners of his almond-shaped eyes slightly lifting as he gave her a light yet forceful glance.
That look made her feel a little guilty and somewhat panicked.
Afterward, he lowered his eyelids slightly, with a hint of mockery on his face, “l don’t want such a thing to happen a second time..”
