Xiyan ran next door and stood in front of the tightly closed door.
Whew...
She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Ou Jue, it’s ~"
After speaking, Xiyan clasped her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly.
Waiting obediently for the door to open.
There was silence inside for a long ti.
Finally, the door opened.
Ou Jue was wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants. His expression was as indifferent as ever, showing no trace of emotion.
Xiyan’s mory of last night was a blur; she had completely blacked out from drinking.
All she knew was that when she woke up, soone told her that this guy had been extrely worried about her.
Her heart felt like it had been dipped in honey—so sweet.
"Thank you for yesterday."
"Thank for what?"
"Thank you for bringing back. If you hadn’t, with how much I drank last night, I don’t even know what could’ve happened."
He didn’t mind her not ntioning it, but the mont she did, Ou Jue’s temper flared.
He crossed his arms, his expression icy. "So you do know you shouldn’t drink like that? Xia Xiyan, next ti, I’d appreciate it if you could use your brain when you go out. Don’t make it so easy for soone to take advantage of you!"
"...Hey." Xiyan pouted in dissatisfaction.
First thing in the morning, and he’s already scolding . Did he really think I drank that much for no reason? It was because of him!
Ou Jue’s gaze bore into hers deeply before he forced himself to look away.
"You don’t need to thank . I just happened to run into you. Next ti you get drunk like that, you might not be so lucky."
Happened to run into ?
Liar.
How could it always be such a coincidence?
But Ou Jue’s face stayed cold. The tenderness he’d shown her last night felt like a beautiful dream now.
anwhile, Grandma Ou and Little Baozhi were eavesdropping in the adjacent room, and the more they listened, the more wrong things sounded.
Why did it feel like they were arguing?
Grandma Ou rushed out imdiately. Seeing Ou Jue and Xiyan locked in a standoff, her anger flared up at once.
If she could, she really wanted to smack so sense into her stubborn grandson.
"Ou Xiao Jue! What’s wrong with you? Why are you always picking on Xiyan?" Grandma Ou glared at Ou Jue and stood protectively in front of Xiyan.
Turning back, she saw Xiyan looking heartbreakingly dejected, and she could no longer hold back.
"Xiyan, don’t be mad at him. Xiao Jue has his reasons for acting this way. It’s all because, a few years back, he—"
"Grandma!" Ou Jue cut her off, his face dark.
Grandma Ou went silent.
Stopping his grandmother in her tracks, Ou Jue turned coldly back into the room. "You should go. After breakfast, Uncle Zhang will drive you to school."
Uncle Zhang was the Ou Family’s chauffeur.
Xiyan bit her lower lip, staring at Ou Jue.
The way she felt right now was as if soone had lifted her to the highest point, only to leave her with nothing, plumting her back to the ground.
Her heart, shattered into pieces.

On the way to school, Xiyan turned her head to look out the window, her feelings in turmoil.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she snapped back to her senses, reaching for her phone.
When she saw the caller ID, a flash of joy crossed her face.
"Qianze?!"
A low chuckle ca from the other side, his voice as gentle as always. "Yeah, it’s ."
"You—you’re awake? How are you feeling now? Any better?"
"I just woke up. My phone’s been out of battery the past few days, so it’s been off."
The first thing he did after waking up was look for his phone.
And the first call he made was to Xiyan.
Leaning against the hospital bed with his phone in hand, Yin Qianze spoke softly, "How have you been these past few days?"
