He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Qu Yi was probably really exhausted, because when she woke up, Xu Zuo was no longer there.

She came out after washing up, just as Xu Zuo walked in.

The two looked at each other.

First, shift your gaze away from the situation.

Xu Zuo smiled slightly, not exposing her, and his attitude was the same as usual, letting Qu Yi go out for breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Qu Yi was about to wipe her mouth when a soft tissue wiped her lips with a hand, the movement was so smooth, as if it had been done many times before.

Xu Zuo calmly threw the tissue into the trash can, then turned around and met Qu Yi's strange gaze.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Seeing his usual smile, Qu Yi looked away and said, "Don't do that again next time."

Xu Zuo asked, "Why?"

Qu Yi didn't answer, but put all the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen and into the dishwasher.

From then until the start of the school term, Qu Yi did not contact Xu Zuo. Xu Zuo did send her messages, but she rarely replied, and the number of replies was probably only half of what it used to be.

Xu Zuo looked down at her phone screen; it was still the same few messages she had sent, and she still hadn't replied.

A hand patted his shoulder, and Qi Mingxuan clicked his tongue and said, "Speaking of which, you look so resentful, you could support several evil sword immortals."

Xu Zuo didn't answer, so Qi Mingxuan could only look at Yan Dong beside him. Yan Dong shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

It seems like this happened the last time he came back from the bar. That day, he went out and came back to find that Xu Zuo was gone. He couldn't get through to her on the phone. Finally, someone answered and said that she was his sister and had already taken Xu Zuo away. He didn't quite believe it and was afraid that something had happened to Xu Zuo. He didn't hang up until the other person let Xu Zuo say a few words.

A few hours later, Qu Yi replied with two words.

Busy.

Xu Zuo narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingertips stroking the cold, hard edge of the phone.

He quietly watched his roommate eating across from him.

Lang Jian went to play basketball. Qi Mingxuan and Yan Dong ate with him. Suddenly, the two felt a chill down their spines and looked up to meet Xu Zuo's deep gaze.

Qi Mingxuan: It felt like I was being bent over.

Yan Dong: Help! He looks like a murderer! I'm so scared!

The two of them quietly moved closer together.

Xu Zuo parted his thin lips slightly: "I want to pursue someone."

The two immediately put down their chopsticks, their eyes lit up, and exclaimed in unison, "Who!"

Xu Zuo: "But she's avoiding me."

Qi Mingxuan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really like it?"

Xu Zuo nodded without hesitation.

It has to be her.

Yan Dong: "Can we change the person?" Avoiding him clearly means he doesn't like him.

Xu Zuo looked at him, his gaze darkening further.

Yan Dong: I think I said something wrong, waaaaah, my roommate is so scary.

Qi Mingxuan was more reliable and was seriously thinking about it. He asked, "What do you think of her? Is there anything special about her?"

Xu Zuo: "She's not interested in many things, but she rarely refuses me." He lowered his eyes and continued, "But this time she avoided me for more than a month."

Qi Mingxuan: "Go find her?"

Xu Zuo shook his head: "I'm afraid she'll get angry."

Qi Mingxuan: "...Then let her come find you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zuo's eyes flashed: "We can give it a try."

a few days later.

Qu Yi had just finished a meeting when she took out her phone and saw a missed call.

Xu Zuo's phone call.

He's been sending her messages lately and hardly ever calls her, so why is he calling today?

Just as she was about to return the call, a small white dog ran out from under the table and stood at her feet.

[Please go to the hospital immediately to visit the mission target whose stomach ailment has relapsed.]

Stomach problems recurring?

Qu Yi glanced at her phone and called back.

"Hey."

The girl's cool voice came through the receiver, sounding slightly hoarse, perhaps due to the electrical current.

"Are you Xu Zuo's older sister?"

Qu Yi paused, then asked, "What is it?"

Qi Mingxuan and Yan Dong exchanged a glance and said, "Xu Zuo's stomach problem has flared up. We're at the People's Hospital now, and he insists that we call you for him."

Qu Yi frowned: "What did you eat this time? Tell him that if he doesn't take care of his own body, he shouldn't expect others to take care of it."

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that, which was extremely heartless.
