Chapter 7 - Stay Calm

Chapter 7 Stay Calm

Spring in City A featured long nights. The next morning, the thin sun started to rise around six o’clock, and it got bright at seven o’clock.

Over the years, Lin Qing had developed a good habit — going to bed early and getting up early.

At seven sharp, her biological clock woke her up.

For the first time in her life, she had woken up feeling so sick — her stomach felt so gassy that she could vomit in a minute and her head ached like hell.

Frowning, she opened her eyes, only to find herself in a completely strange environment.

Stylish but simple furniture, snow-white walls, and an exquisite droplight…. It was definitely not her room.

Lin Qing was completely stunned in a daze.

But she did not utter a sound, let alone a shout.

A moment later, recognizing and accepting the fact, she sat up with the quilt in her arms and noticed that she was wearing a man’s bathrobe!

But she just opened her eyes wider, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, wondering how she ended up here?

She started rewinding her memory: she remembered she was attending Chen Qudong’s wedding last night, and she felt her heart ripped apart when hearing the couple said “I do”, but she could not do anything but drink….

Then… then she blacked out and couldn’t remember anything at all.

Lin Qing grabbed her long hair painfully, dropped her head, and bit her lips, struggling to put the story together.

At this point, Lin Qing heard the door opening.

She looked at the door, saw the man at the door, completely stunned, and a pile of information flooded into her mind —

Probably, the house belonged to the man.

The bathrobe she was wearing should be his, too.

That meant… it was the man who brought her back last night.

But… that could not be possible, because the man looked… gorgeous.

He was tall in a perfectly proportioned shape and with a chiseled face. His facial features were handsome enough to dwarf the most popular male stars.

Why did he bring her back?

Thought for a while, her head tilting to one side and her look resolving into a curious gaze at Mu Li, as if she was looking for the answer on his face.

Mu Li hadn’t been looked at by such dauntless eyes. He thought it was interesting, so he walked into the room, and cast a condescending look at Lin Qing. “Anything you’d like to ask me?”

After a few seconds, Lin Qing nodded. “Why did I come back with you?”

“Well, you should ask yourself this one.” Mu Li didn’t understand why Lin Qing was so calm? Maybe… Chen Qudong’s wedding was completely made her out of mind?

Lin Qing found his reply reasonable and felt embarrassed.

After a while, she lowered her head, stroked her hair, and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t know why I came back with you. I forgot everything about yesterday.”

Mu Li was speechless.

At this time, Lin Qing finally came to the most important point. “But how could I… how did I meet you? We don’t know each other.”

“….” Mu Li came to realize that she had ignored him for the few hours when he sat next to her yesterday.

He felt his chest clogged. Why?

When he got some relief, he briefed her on what happened yesterday.

But he didn’t follow the original storyline but changed it on a whim–

“What did you say?” Lin Qing gazed at him incredibly. “I told the hotel staff that I am your girlfriend?”

Mu Li was leaning against the wooden wardrobe, his arms leisurely crossed on his chest, and he nodded without any change in his facial expression or his heartbeat.
