Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Valentine’s Day!
Mu Yan was almost driven mad by Jiang Jingheng; this guy was becoming increasingly uninhibited, his words daringly crude.
They were in the living room, and he dared to say such things to her.
She let out a cold laugh, "You really learn and apply quickly."
For his birthday party last month, he only invited Ning Ze and a few others as usual.
Ning Ze and the others encouraged him to sing, but he said he couldn’t.
Then Dong Le mentioned there was definitely one song he knew.
At the time, he was clearly unaware of what song it was; unexpectedly, later on, he secretly listened to it and now uses it to tease her.
Jiang Jingheng raised an eyebrow, "All thanks to Mrs. Jiang. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to sing it."
Mu Yan’s face instantly turned bright red, desperately wanting to shut his mouth. How could he be so mischievous?
Ruan Xinyu came out of the kitchen and noticed Mu Yan’s flushed face, asking, "Nuannuan, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
Mu Yan felt a little embarrassed and replied hesitantly, "Aunt, I’m not sick."
"Then why is your face so red? Is the heating too high?" Ruan Xinyu looked concerned.
"Probably... I’ll go upstairs to change clothes." Mu Yan said as she headed upstairs.
Seeing this, Jiang Jingheng followed her up.
Ruan Xinyu glanced at the two like they were inseparable and shook her head; young people’s relationships were truly wonderful.
In the room, Qin Xi was curled up on the bed for a while before Mrs. Qin called her to get up for breakfast. She sat up abruptly and went out after freshening up.
At the dining table, Qin Xi took a sip of millet porridge, feeling indescribably satisfied, "Nothing beats home-cooked breakfast."
"Eat more while you can; once you return to Upper City, you won’t get a chance." Mrs. Qin advised.
"Okay, okay." Qin Xi rarely argued with her mom.
Breakfast quickly finished, and Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, including Grandma Qin, all needed to visit relatives.
In previous years, with Lu Zhaoming by her side, she wouldn’t face pressure to marry, but this year, Lu Zhaoming broke up with her, and the news spread among relatives. Some worried for her, while others were eager to see her falter, probably intending to urge her to marry, so she chose not to go with them.
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin didn’t want their daughter to face any discomfort, so they left her to watch the house.
At home alone and bored, Qin Xi turned on the TV, flipping through programs. The Spring Festival Gala replayed from the first to the fourth day, and even some channels ran classic dramas on repeat before the New Year; she nearly memorized the lines, finding it unbearable to watch.
Endlessly bored, she changed channels from one to a hundred, then continued.
Just as she was about to turn off the TV, her phone rang.
Picking it up, she saw Ning Ze calling. Had this guy reached Upper City already? So soon?
Or could it be, as Mu Yan mentioned, he was here to spend Valentine’s Day with her?
If she hadn’t had such a suspicion, it would be fine; however, now that she did, a sense of expectancy suddenly grew within her.
Soon, reason talked her out of it.
What Valentine’s Day? Any more of this and things will really be unclear; they were merely friends with benefits!
She stared at the phone, contemplating hanging up, but somehow pressed answer.
"Xi Xi, good morning!" His voice carried a warmth that felt exceptionally comforting.
Qin Xi cleared her throat, "Morning, how’s the weather in Upper City?"
"The weather’s good here, sunny and clear."
Her heightened spirits were instantly shattered, a faint disappointment rising within; he really did go back, such an obedient guy.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
"Xi Xi, don’t hang up. The weather in Upper City is indeed good, but it’s freezing cold near your place. I’m currently downstairs at your house and nearly frozen stiff; could you come down?"
