Chapter 444 - Jun Boyan X Shi Luo

SYNOPSIS:

Nobody says no to their best-friend. 

And the same goes with Shi Luo, a well known name in the medical field, a woman made of wits and sarcasm. When she decided to help her best friend, the last thing she expected was her best friend's younger brother-in-law standing at her doorstep. 

Hot from outside, warm from inside and with an edge of craftiness, Jun Boyan was a full package delivered at her humble abode. 

It's okay… It's okay… He was a temporary guest. That was what she coaxed herself with until the man became her boyfriend overnight. 

And by the daytime, he was already into the role as he made delicious meals for her, pampered her to bits. It was a pretense meant for her mother but she found herself falling for it. 

But… What if things were not the same from his side?

…

Shi Luo rolled to the other side of the bed, annoyed by the constant ringing of her phone, ''What time is it?'' she groaned, throwing the pillow to the floor in annoyance. 

She opened her eyes and glanced at the watch on the wall, ''10 am…? Who is so restless early in the morning?" Having done a night shift yesterday, she was not very pleased to be waking up to the constant ringing of her phone early in the morning. 

''Mei?" she picked up her phone and glanced at the incoming facetime request from Yu Mei. 

Shi Luo slumped back on the bed before answering the call, ''Mei, what's up?" she slurred. 

''Luoluo, I am up.'' 

Shi Luo stiffened. It was as if someone threw the rest of her sleepiness out of the window. She slowly moved her face from the pillow as she glanced at her phone, ''Mia…?" Disbelief was written all over her face as she glanced at the woman smiling, probably because of her foolish expressions or messy appearance. 

Shi Luo sat up on the bed, ''Oh my god, you are up. You woke up,'' her voice went a pitch higher and she could barely control her excitement. 

Yu Mei laughed, ''We truly are best friends. My expressions were awfully similar.'' 

''That we are but will you tell me what just happeneid?" Shi Luo blinked. 

''I am a human now, what else?" Mia shrugged before narrating everything in short. 

Shi Luo nodded in understanding. She paused and glanced in the direction of the door. Luckily, it was closed. If Jun Boyan overheard it, he might label them as crazy. 

It was not that they could not tell him about it but it was unnecessary at this point and rather than having everyone shocked by Mia's real self, they kept it under wraps at that time because she was in a coma. And now, she was a human so it was not important to share it with anyone. 

She only mentioned about it to Li Shuang who was shell shocked. The rest of the people were unaware of it. 

'Knock Knock' 

''Girls, come to my place later this night. Till then, see ya,'' Shi Luo waved and hung up quickly, ignoring their weird expressions. 

She jumped off the bed and ran towards the mirror. She quickly combed her messy hair and adjusted the collar of her black satin shirt before smoothening the creases on her shorts with the back of her palm. 

After looking at her reflection one last time and finding herself presentable enough, she walked towards the door. 

Shi Luo inhaled a deep breath before opening the door. She was greeted by the sight of Jun Boyan leaning against the doorframe with one of his hands raised in air and it seemed like he was about to knock again. 

"Morning," Jun Boyan smiled, lowering his head to look at her. 

The morning was made for him. Shi Luo concluded as she looked at his messy hair resting above his brows, his dark eyes were slightly narrowed and the rays of sunlight infiltrating her house seemed to highlight all his godly features. 

Those lips… Shi Luo wanted to avert her gaze but she couldn't take her eyes off those lips. 

It has been a long time since she let this man stay over at her house. He was supposed to a guest for a short period of time but the short period kept extending and now, her mind was completely muddled. 

He didn't have to be so charming, did he?

"Luoluo…"

Her name slipping off his mouth was like a soft feather tickling her. Shi Luo cursed herself for lusting after her best friend's younger brother-in-law. Maybe it was time she got herself a man. 

"Yeah?" she glanced at him, something taking a few flips inside her stomach when he took a step closer to her, "Wait…" she pressed a palm on his chest, "What did I tell you about not calling me Luoluo?"

"You want me to address you as senior," Jun Boyan nonchalantly said, tucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ear. As she nodded, he asked, "Why?"

"W-What why?" Shi Luo gulped, trying not to lean into his touch when he retracted his hand from her face, "It's because it is a fact. I am your senior given that I studied in the same university where you are right now," and for a fact, the way you call me Luoluo gives me butterflies. 

But the last part of her sentence was left unsaid. 

Jun Boyan chuckled before he leaned closer to her, "Senior," he whispered beside her ear. 

And all of a sudden Shi Luo understood the meaning of a phrase from a romance novel that she read when she was young. In it, the girl said that her ears got pregnant and at that time, the medical student in her had rolled her eyes at the exaggeration but at this very point, she could feel the pregnancy right in her ears. 

"N-N-No…" Oh damn, Shi Luo. What an embarrassing stuttering mess you have become! Shi Luo cursed herself for the umpteenth time, "Luoluo is fine," she spoke through gritted teeth, feeling thatnkful that she did not stutter again. 

This senior term from his mouth...was giving her all kinds of indecent thoughts. 

"You are so fickle, Luoluo," Even though he said that, his gaze towards her was indulgent as he pulled back from her to look at her face.
