Xiang Qichen: "...Are you ho?"
Huaiyi smiled: "Yes."
Xiang Qichen: "Have you eaten?"
Huaiyi: "Not yet..."
Xiang Qichen looked at the ti; it was already past seven. He asked again, "It’s late, why haven’t you eaten yet?"
Huaiyi fiddled with her phone strap: "My mom said we’d eat out after the store closes."
Xiang Qichen: "Okay."
"Qi Chen." She called softly.
"Yes?"
"Are you going ho?"
"Hmm, I’ll head back tomorrow."
There was a mont of silence on the phone. After a while, she heard Xiang Qichen’s deep voice through the receiver: "Huaiyi."
"Want to go on a trip after the New Year?" he said, "Bali Island."
...
After dinner with her family, Huaiyi lay on her bed deep in thought again.
Bali Island...
Should I go...
The two of us...
But isn’t this progressing too quickly?
They’ve only been together... Counting today, it’s only been four days...
Ahhhhh!
In the end, she fell asleep with no conclusions...
On the second day apart, since Xiang Qichen drove ho, they only had one phone call;
On the third day, New Year’s Eve, Huaiyi was too busy helping her mom with household chores to find any spare ti, so... they only managed to make two short phone calls.
On the fourth, fifth, and sixth days leading up to New Year’s Eve, they finally had so free ti and had their first long-distance video call.
The screen flashed, and the first thing she saw was Xiang Qichen’s exquisitely detailed and nearly perfect profile.
Huaiyi rested her chin in her hand, admiring: "Hello."
Xiang Qichen adjusted the phone’s position: "Have you eaten?"
Huaiyi grinned endlessly: "Yes, I have. What about you?"
Xiang Qichen: "Yeah, what did you eat?"
Huaiyi: "Spring rolls, dumplings, fried chicken, lots and lots of crabs."
She had just finished speaking when she heard a muffled female voice from Xiang Qichen’s side, likely speaking to him. Xiang Qichen in the video raised his voice in response: "Got it."
Got it?
Huaiyi noticed and softly asked, "What’s up?"
Xiang Qichen lowered his eyes, looked back at the cara, and smiled: "My mom, nothing much."
Ah, the mom of the heartthrob! (◎_◎;)
Speaking of which, when they swapped souls, she even talked to his mom...
So... does his mom know he’s video-calling her?
"What are you thinking?" His voice suddenly ca through the phone, low and smooth, with a charming clarity.
Huaiyi blushed involuntarily: "Nothing..."
After a while, he asked again: "So, are we going? To Bali Island?"
Huaiyi pondered for a mont and replied: "Yeah, let’s go!"
As for why she decided... Huaiyi thought...
Afraid the heartthrob might try sothing?
Not at all, because she had admired him with the intent to do sothing to him from the start.
So if the heartthrob really wanted to do sothing, shouldn’t she just take a shower and obediently await his affection?
Why be reserved!
Bali Island! A trip for two!
No reason not to go!
...
However, it wasn’t until that day that Huaiyi realized she had completely misunderstood...
The so-called trip to Bali Island was actually Xiang Qichen rewarding his team with a benefit for their hard work...
In the lounge, Huaiyi covered her face in embarrassnt for the third ti.
Yang Li glanced at her sideways: "Sighing so early in the morning, what’s wrong?"
Huaiyi sighed again, full of complex feelings, and said to him, "Life is unpredictable, full of unavoidable circumstances, sigh..."
Yang Li: "..." Falling in love and already so sentintal, huh.
The phone vibrated, and Huaiyi looked down at it.
[Boyfriend: Co over here!]
Huaiyi glanced at Xiang Qichen, who was facing her from the front right, and replied: [I’m fine sitting here, keeping a low profile, keeping a low profile]
[Boyfriend: What’s there to hide? They all know.]
Seeing this, Huaiyi gasped in shock, looking around at the team mbers in the lounge all doing their own thing, with a face of disbelief.
When her eyes returned to Xiang Qichen, he was beckoning her with a crooked finger, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly running out of patience...
So Huaiyi quietly picked up her bag and sat down next to Xiang Qichen.
Looking up again, everyone was still nonchalantly playing on their phones.
Huaiyi, surprised, leaned closer to Xiang Qichen’s ear and whispered: "How do they know..."
Xiang Qichen remained calm: "I ntioned it."
Huaiyi: "..."
