Wen Hua went to look for a part-time job as usual.
The weather was getting colder. After being rejected a few times, she lost all her patience and went back after four in the afternoon.
When she saw the little kitten drinking milk on the coffee table, her eyes lit up. “You haven’t sent it away yet? Did you not find its owner?”
Xi Mo, who was playing games on the sofa, responded, “No one claimed it.”
It was good that she didn’t send it away. Looking at the little kitten, she was a little reluctant to part with it.
She brought the little kitten into the room to play with for the whole afternoon. When the clock on the wall pointed to seven o’clock, she went downstairs and entered the kitchen.
At eight o’clock, in the bright dining room, the two of them sat opposite each other.
Seeing him pick up some braised eggplant, Wen Hua asked nervously, “Is it good?”
Xi Mo finished his meal without changing his expression. “It’s edible.”
Her noodles were pretty good, but her cooking skills were really average.
She nodded. “It’s good that it’s edible.”
After eating in silence, she took the dishes to the dishwasher to wash them. While waiting by the side, Xi Mo entered the kitchen.
He turned on the coffee machine and asked her casually, “Do you want coffee?”
“No, thanks.”
After putting the washed dishes into the disinfection cabinet, Wen Hua’s phone rang.
She looked at the caller and hung up. Not long after, it rang again and she hung up again.
After two rounds, the other side stopped.
Looking at the word ‘father’ in the address book, she was in a daze for a while.
Two minutes later, the ringtone rang again. The caller was Aunt Zhou. She hesitated for a while and went outside to answer the call.
“Aunt Zhou, that woman isn’t at my house anymore, right?”
“Don’t let him look for me. As long as he doesn’t settle the matter with that woman, I won’t go home…”
“I’m not being petty. I’m serious.”
“I want to believe him, but that woman came knocking on my door with a big belly. Would she dare to do that if she didn’t have some confidence? Every time I think of her calm and composed appearance, I get angry. It’s clear that she wants to enter my Wen family’s door.”
“It’s good that she didn’t come. Don’t let her enter again if she comes. You don’t have to persuade me anymore. I’m very safe. Call me when the matter is settled. Again, I won’t go to see him unless it’s settled.”
After answering the call, she came in from outside the door and realized that Xi Mo had already made coffee and was sitting on the sofa.
She didn’t know how much of what she had just said had been heard. She pretended to be calm and entered the door to greet him. “I’m going upstairs.”
Watching her thin figure disappear on the second floor, Xi Mo’s pitch-black eyes were deep and serene.
In the group chat, Xie Juan asked Fu Ming about his progress with Wen Hua.
Fu Ming: [ Same as always, it’s just a few sentences. What are you doing? Have you eaten? What did you do today? I can’t find anything to talk about. ]
Xie Juan: [ You’re treating it as a math problem. Chatting is like a formula. You have to find a common topic to talk about! ]
Fu Ming:[ How do I know what common topics there are? ]
Xie Juan: [ Ask her what she likes to do and what songs she likes to listen to. Ask her to recommend a few movies to you. ]
Fu Ming: [ Got it! ]
Ten minutes later, he returned to the group.
Xie Juan: [ How was it? ]
Fu Ming: [ She said that she likes pure music. After recommending ‘Forrest Gump’ to me, she went to do her homework. Why is it so hard to chat with girls? Is she in a bad mood? ]
Xie Juan: [ Maybe… ]
Xie Juan didn’t want to force him.
On the other side, Fu Ming returned to the chat interface with Wen Hua.
The last thing she said was: [ Then take your time. I’m going to do my homework. Bye Bye. ]
She was so serious.

Thinking of this, Fu Ming didn’t want to play anymore.
He returned to the group and said goodbye.
Fu Ming: [ I have to study hard too. You two enjoy yourselves. ]
Xie Juan sent a shrug emoji.
Xie Juan: [ I don’t know how long he can last. Old Xi, come and play. ]
Xi Mo: [ I don’t want to play today. ]
Xie Juan: [ Why have you been cooped up at home recently? Come out tomorrow and race together. ]
Xi Mo: [ We’ll talk about it in a few days. ]
In the room, Wen Hua played with her phone for a while. Feeling bored, she took out her winter vacation homework to do.
It was already 10:30 pm when she finished a set of comprehensive exams. Solving the questions seemed to be a way to relieve her stress. After finishing the questions, she felt a lot better physically and mentally. After taking a shower, she hugged the little kitten and fell asleep in no time.
It was probably because the smell of salt was a little too strong for dinner. At two o’clock in the night, she woke up from her thirst. Her throat was dry, and her chest was dry and unbearable.
Half-asleep, she yawned and went downstairs in her slippers.
She took some water from the water dispenser and gulped it down.
Her head was dizzy, and her eyes were still wet. When she turned around and saw the tall figure, she was almost shocked out of reflex.
The lights in the villa were not turned on. Only the dim light at the edge of the wall made her a little dizzy, so she could barely see the other party’s face.
Xi Mo’s cold face was shrouded in darkness. The faint light from the night light also outlined her facial features. Her pair of ink-black eyes were deep and dark.
Wen Hua opened her mouth slightly. “You…”
It could be that she was scared, or that her mind was not clear, or that she suddenly realized the current atmosphere:
The night was dark and the wind was high. A man and a woman were alone, boarding..
Anyway, she suddenly became nervous and thought of something bad.
Especially when she looked into his dark eyes, she even stuttered and pretended to be calm. “You came to drink of water too?”
Xi Mo watched a movie for three hours in the video studio on the first floor. When he got up, he realized that it was two o’clock in the morning. When he saw the person drinking water downstairs, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Wen Hua’s black hair was gently draped over her shoulders. Her fitted nightdress accentuated her slim waist, as if she could be held with one hand.
He could see that she was obviously frightened. He could clearly see her nervous expression.
Her eyes, which had just woken up, were drowsy, as if there was a layer of water in them. Her dazed look had a kind of charm that she did not know she had.
Her features were like a painting.
He averted his gaze and said in a clear voice, “I just finished watching the movie.”
“Oh, then I’ll go upstairs…” she turned around and rubbed herself against the stairs.
Looking at her back view, which was running away in panic, Xi Mo pursed his lips slightly. Before going upstairs, he turned back and drank a glass of water.
In the early morning, Wen Hua was woken up by the furry little kitten.
She stretched herself and got up. When she pulled open the curtains, she was stunned by the scene outside.
It had snowed last night. The land was covered in white, and the world was a monotonous and grand white.
Looking at the empty snow, the corners of her mouth curled up in a good mood.
When she was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, she caught a glimpse of red patch on the clean white bed sheet.
The good mood that she had just woken up with was gone in an instant.
She was actually on her period!
And it was on the bed sheet in his guest room!

Such bad luck really was rare.
When she finished cleaning up and went downstairs, Xi Mo was already sitting on the sofa with a pair of silver-rimmed eyes on the bridge of his nose. He seemed to be holding a foreign-language book in his hand.
Not to mention, he really did have a refined and elegant appearance with his glasses on.
She did not expect that he was actually very elegant and interesting in private. It felt a little different from the wild and unruly appearance he had when he was in school.
There are so many sides to a man.
