Lu Xun stirred in his sleep when his phone started to ring its alarm. With a free hand, he reached for his phone on the side table and switched off the alarm.
His eyes were staring back at the ceiling as he tried to keep his mind calm. After a while, he finally turned to the person beside him.
Song Xing Xing continued to sleep and ignored everything around her. Her long hair was covering half of her face and her arm was rested on his chest.
Lu Xun moved to sweep her hair away from her face.
A gentle sigh escaped him as he watched her breathing silently in his embrace. The thought that her face was the first thing he saw the moment he woke up made his heart grow softer. Lu Xun couldn't help but think that the feeling was rather nice.
He really could not understand how could she sleep peacefully like this. Was she not afraid of what he might do to her? Did she trust him that much?
Lu Xun thought that it was not fair. This girl could sleep soundly while he was tortured until he could not sleep a wink.
It took her a few minutes to fall asleep after he had coaxed her. The girl continued to snuggle into his embrace and rub her head against his chest for a long time.
How could he sleep when she was moving and touching him everywhere?
For a second, he had even suspected that she was only pretending to sleep. However, after checking a few times, he found out that she was really asleep.
His eyes darkened as he continued to look at her. After a while, Lu Xun leaned over to kiss her lips. As seconds passed by, the light pecks turned deeper. It was as if he wanted to swallow her.
Finding it hard to breathe, Song Xing Xing frowned and struggled in displeasure.
Hearing her whimper, Lu Xun finally released her lips and settled with hugging.
A chuckle escaped him upon noticing the way she had snuggled into his embrace again.
He wanted to get up and get ready but with the way she was acting, it was difficult for him to leave the bed. Was she so afraid to let him go?
Why is his girlfriend so adorable?
"Song Xing Xing, are you not going to let me go?" His hand stretched out to pinch her nose. "If you don't let go I will kiss you again, alright?"
Song Xing Xing turned her head away and slapped his hand away. Her lips parted as she whispered, "Bad kitty."
Lu Xun let out a low laugh.
Bad kitty? Did she think that he was Mr. Fluffball?
This time, he couldn't help but pinch at her cheek.
When she had finally removed her hand from his waist and turned away from him, Lu Xun finally stepped away from the bed.
He pecked at her cheek and tucked her into bed.
Lu Xun put up his glasses and picked up his phone at the side. Then, he finally left the bedroom.
There were a few missed calls and unread messages on his phone. After scrolling his phone for a while, he realized that two of the missed calls were from his friend, Zhang Yu Han.
He clicked his name and walked into the kitchen to pour himself a glass of cold water.
The phone call was connected in a few seconds.
"Lu Xun?" Zhang Yu Han's voice was heard from the other line.
"Hmm…" He drank the cold water but still, that fire inside of him did not die down.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Yu Han spoke. "I heard about what happened last night."
Lu Xun chuckled when he recalled what had happened last night where that woman Xu Jiao had come to his room and had almost caused a misunderstanding between him and his girlfriend.
"Yu Han, tell me. Why do I keep on running into such situation when I was staying at your hotel?" Lu Xun asked with a playful tone.
Zhang Yu Han heaved a long sigh. "How do I know? Wasn't it because you are too attractive?"
Lu Xun laughed at his joke. Should he be flattered that his friend had called him good looking instead?
"Sorry." His tone was apologetic this time. "That incident last night shouldn't have happened."
"Have you investigated that matter?"
"Mhm… that celebrity under your agency… it seemed that she had a relative working under the housekeeping department. Her relatives helped her to get into the VVIP floor," Zhang Yu Han said. "We have already sent them both to the police to be investigated. But… that woman is an artist under you after all."
"Just do whatever you want to her. I'll leave everything to you."
"Then, we'll leave everything to the police to handle."
"That's fine too."
Zhang Yu Han breathed in relief. "Are you leaving for Capital City today?"
Lu Xun turned his head to look at the bedroom where his girlfriend was still sleeping. "No. I'll probably leave tomorrow. There's somewhere that I have to go."
"Then, I'll go and find you later."
The two friends continued to chat for a while before they ended the call. Lu Xun poured himself another glass of water.
He sat around in the living room until he finally calm down. Then, he went into the bathroom and took a long shower. When he came out, Song Xing Xing was still sleeping soundly. His hand stretched out to wake her up but after a while, he decided against it.
It was the weekend and his girlfriend would usually take her chance to sleep in.
Just as he had picked up the phone to call the room service to let them send in their breakfast, someone had appeared in front of his door and pressed the doorbell.
Lu Xun frowned. He glanced at his sleeping girlfriend and finally walked over to the door. A look of surprise appeared on his face upon noticing that the person who appeared at the doo was no other than his friend, Zhang Yu Han.
They had only spoken not too long ago. Lu Xun did not expect that his friend would suddenly appeared at his door.
"Why are you here this early?" Lu Xun asked.
Zhang Yu Han shot him a puzzled look. "Didn't I tell you that I would come and find you?"
"I did not expect that you would show up this early."
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. "Let's go and have breakfast together." He peeked into the room and realized that his friend was acting a little strange. "Why do you keep looking inside? Are you hiding something?"
Lu Xun cleared his throat. "My girlfriend is sleeping inside."
His expression froze. "You..." Zhang Yu Han pursed his lips into a thin line and heaved a long sigh.
Forget it. He was not going to comment anything on the couple's relationship.
Zhang Yu Han took a step back and spoke, "Then, I will wait for you in the coffee house."
