Chapter 165
Song Luosheng felt there was a high possibility, but he wasn't sure. Thinking about how flamboyant Chi Yu was, he scoffed lightly, "I don't know."
It was already late when they returned home. Although Chi Yu was reluctant, he still sent her back. Song Luosheng had returned earlier and had been waiting for Song Luokui to come back.
"Happy New Year, Kuikui," Song Luosheng gave her a big red envelope.
Originally a little tired, Song Luokui perked up when she saw the red envelope. She took it and immediately hugged Song Luosheng's arm, "Thank you, brother. I hope you'll have a safe and smooth year ahead!"
Song Luosheng ruffled her head, "I hope my Kuikui stays healthy and that everything goes smoothly for her."
The two exchanged smiles. Song Luokui patted her head, "Go rest now."
"Okay~"
Back in her room, Song Luokui took out another red envelope from her pocket, the one given by Chi Yu. She placed both red envelopes directly into her cabinet. On her hand was the New Year's gift from Chi Yu - a green bracelet.
After the incident, Chi Yu frequently came to the Song Family's home. Although Song Luosheng would roll his eyes every time, he gradually became numb to it.
It was the New Year holidays, so Chi Yu would come find Song Luokui every day to take her out. Sometimes when Song Luokui went for gatherings with her sisters, he would come pick her up afterward.
Sitting in Chi Yu's car, Song Luokui mentioned Zhang Xiyue's matter, "Zhang Xiyue is still keeping everyone in the dark about her relationship with her junior. No one knows anything about it. Did you know?"
Chi Yu: "No, I haven't been paying much attention."
Song Luokui: "I see. I was wondering if she would keep it secret like I did."
Chi Yu paused and looked at her, "So... you originally intended to keep it secret forever?"
Song Luokui gave an awkward laugh, "Well, that was the plan at first..." Although when he first approached her and she agreed to go out with him, her intentions weren't pure. Back then, she only wanted to ensure that her brother wouldn't be targeted by Chi Yu.
But later on...
Chi Yu raised his eyebrows, "At first?"
Song Luokui responded with a sound of affirmation. Chi Yu immediately carried her bridal-style into the bathroom. At the window, the curtains had automatically closed...
Thirsty and hot, Song Luokui felt like she was trapped in a large oven. Her thirst woke her up - it was currently 4 AM, and she had only slept for two hours.
Song Luokui's fair, slim arm emerged from under the covers. A small lamp lit up one corner of the room, so it wasn't completely dark. Song Luokui opened her heavy eyelids and sat up, only to freeze - it didn't seem like the right time yet.
She wanted to put on her clothes, but the man next to her, Chi Yu, had also woken up and hugged her. His voice was still a bit hoarse, "What's wrong?"
Song Luokui wanted to speak but couldn't get the words out. She let out an "ah" before finding her voice again, but it was raspy, "I want to drink some water, and I need to use the restroom. Could you go get me something? Or buy something? Can you turn the AC down a bit too? I feel a little hot." She had even started sweating.
As soon as Chi Yu heard this, he turned on the light immediately, understanding her meaning. He first carried her to sit on the toilet before leaving the bathroom.
Chi Yu was about to have someone go buy what she needed. He even brought a cup of warm water, but Song Luokui had already come out, her face flushed, "No, that's not it."
Chi Yu was completely confused until he finally understood and immediately hugged her.
It turned out to be a false alarm, but Chi Yu's shoulder was bitten several times. In the end, he had to coax her into drinking the warm water before carrying her back into the bathroom...
After another long struggle, the two finally fell asleep again around 6 AM.
The next day at noon, Song Luokui returned to the mansion. Luckily, Song Luosheng wasn't around. She was afraid her brother would notice something off about her. Aunt Gui even asked if she had been too cold outside since she was bundled up so tightly, especially around her neck area.
Song Luokui felt a little embarrassed, "I'm fine." In the end, she hurried back to her room and didn't come out until dinner.
The holidays ended quickly. Although she hadn't started school yet, the company had resumed operations, so she needed to go back to work too.
There wasn't much to do, so she would get off work on time, occasionally going to the Shan Yu Group to pick up a certain someone. But after that certain someone had eaten meat a couple of times, they became a bit addicted and kept persuading her to go to ChunWang Manor. Song Luokui couldn't resist, because she had tasted the delicacy as well.
They stayed at ChunWang Manor for several days in a row, until Song Luosheng came looking for her, "You're no longer my adorable little sister. You used to say you would wait at home for me and our parents."
Song Luokui felt guilty, "...Um...I thought you were all busy?"
With one glance from Song Luosheng, Song Luokui immediately said, "I've been staying home recently, I really have."
Song Luosheng was satisfied, but Chi Yu wasn't too pleased. The two had just harmonized so well...
