Taking off his glasses, he stretched his body before picking up his phone. When he was about walking away, his eyes landed on that gift Zhang Liling gave to him.
His brows furrowed, but he ended up picking it up before leaving the study.
It was not yet the dead of the night, but since everyone had gone to bed, there was supposed to be calmness in the house.
But how could it be that he was hearing the sound of people talking?
Mr. Fang paused in his steps and strained his ear, but didn't hear anything again.
Maybe he didn't hear properly the first time.
Continuing in his steps, he went into his bedroom and turned on the lights. He was going to retire to bed, but glancing at the night stand, he didn't see any bottle of water.
'Did she forget to bring him water again?' He thought while approaching his bed. He was starting to not like this.
Sighing to himself, he put down his glasses, phone and the gift on the nightstand before walking towards the door.
He was going to get a bottle of water for himself.
Going down the stairs, he discovered that his ears were not playing games with him the first time. He could hear screams, but that didn't sound so real.
There was only one way to explain it, someone was watching the television.
Who could it be?
He was wondering who could be using the TV this late instead of going to bed.
By the time he came to the foot of the stairs, he saw a head on the armrest of the 2-seater sofa. That head was full of hair, so it could only Zhang Liling.
'What is she doing instead of sleeping?' He thought before continuing in his steps.
This man ignored her and went straight to the kitchen to get water for himself.
Picking 2 bottles for himself, he left the kitchen, while Zhang Liling who was oblivious to his presence, continued to watch the TV while smiling to herself.
Suddenly, when the noise from the TV reduced, she heard the sound of footsteps. At first, she thought it was coming from the TV, but it was not.
The scene that was currently showing, had nothing to do with anyone walking, so where was the sound coming from?
That could only mean one thing, someone was awake.
At that realization, She quickly raised her head and sat up. It was at this moment that she saw Mr. Fang walk past her with 2 bottles of water in his hand.
Zhang Liling saw the items in his hand and wondered when he even passed her the first time and she didn't notice.
Shifting her gaze back to his side profile, she saw that he had a straight gaze fixed at the stairs.
The irony of all of this, was that he clearly saw her watching the TV, but he didn't say anything to her.
Did he not mind that she was watching TV this late?
Mr. Fang felt Zhang Liling's gaze on him and continued in his steps. He was not going to say anything to her about it, unless she slacked in her duties the next day.
"Wait? Did I forget to put water in his room?" Zhang Liling realized that she slacked off in her duties and felt like slapping herself.
Now, she could no longer fathom his thoughts. I mean, she slacked of in her duties, and he caught her watching the TV instead of sleeping, but ignored her?
The sun must be rising from West these days.
After patting her chest and watching him disappear from her view, she patted her chest twice before laying back on the sofa, and continued to watch the TV.
Mr. Fang put down the bottles of water on the nightstand before turning off the light. Kicking off his flip-flops, he laid on the bed before switching off the lamp at his side.
Four hours later, Mr. Fang opened his eyes in the darkness. He didn't know why, but he no longer felt sleepy from the movement of his eyes.
He stretched his arm in the darkness and found the lamp before turning it on. Sitting up, he turned to glance at the nightstand before picking up the bottle of water.
He uncapped one and finished the content at a goal. Putting the empty can back there, he raised the duvet and slipped out of bed.
Mr. Fang went straight to the bathroom to make use of it. When he came out, he automatically went straight for the door and opened it.
Black lines appeared on his forehead when he could still hear sounds coming from the television downstairs.
"Is she still awake?" He muttered under his breath before deciding to descend the stairs. He promised that he was going to scold her this time around.
That he ignored her when he caught her watching the TV instead of sleeping, didn't warrant her to abuse the leverage he gave to her.
Finally reaching the foot of the stairs, he matched towards the living room with a frosty gaze. The TV was still on, and a movie was playing.
By the time he came from behind the sofa and looked down, he saw Zhang Liling sleeping peacefully.
Her head was resting on her arms, and the duvet she used to cover herself, exposed her feet.
'She is sleeping?' Mr. Fang frowned and stared hard at her.
How could she sleep in the living room and leave the TV on?
'It looks like she doesn't know where she is." He thought before going to the other side to look for the remote. When he didn't see it, he just directly turned off the TV from the wall.
By the time he came to stand in front of her, he stepped on something hard and was forced to look down and move his left foot away.
The black thing he stepped one, was the remote he was looking for.
It must have fallen from her hand when she fell asleep.
Frowning hard, he bent over to pick it up before putting it down on the table. Glancing back at her laying there and sleeping soundly, he could no longer tolerate it and took the duvet off her body, but he regretted it the next second.
