Even though it was a Sunday morning, Cloe couldn't seem to laze around like she'd love to do so. She had already slept through the whole day of Saturday since she had nothing to do. And when the night ca, she felt so guilty for wasting her whole day by just sleeping.
She couldn't even tell how she could sleep for that long?
Was it because her boss had stopped making her slave around on weekends? But at least when she was working on weekends, she had sothing to do. Now, she was so bored that her hair was turning grey.
She knew she'd be spending her Sunday in the sa way as well. So, last night before going to sleep she called Cui Xukun and asked him out on a date. Yes, she did it on her own. She didn't wait for him to call her this ti. She took the initiative to reach out to him instead.
There were several reasons for that. One was that once she knew which direction she wanted to go to, she'd head-on without wasting her ti. Two, she had a good impression of Cui Xukun as well. He was respectful, polite, a gentleman, and a sweet man. Although he wasn't that good with words, he was cute. To her, at least he seed cute.
What she didn't know was that it was only at her sight that Cui Xukun would forget how to even speak. His brain would get into a frenzy at the sight of her. Even if he prepared a million things to talk to her about, he'd forget it. He was that typical guy who couldn't act like himself in front of his crush. Especially, since he was now actually able to date his crush!
Anyway, the eting ti had been decided on 9 o'clock in the morning. But Cloe was up at 6 o'clock. She wasn't as keen on exercising as Raelle was. Especially on a weekend. Usually, she wouldn't even look out of her blanket until noon on a Sunday but today, she couldn't sleep any longer. After sleeping for 24 hours straight, it'd be weirder if she could still sleep.
She stepped out on her balcony to breathe in so fresh air. The morning air was certainly refreshing, calming, and so enjoyable. She stretched her body in an unladylike manner and yawned while turning. But her yawn was stuck halfway when she caught the sight of the person standing on the balcony right beside hers.
Her eyes widened and covered her face with her hands as she turned around to hide. What the hell! What was he doing there? She didn't even wash her face yet! She had a bedhead and she looked like a bloody hobo! Did he have to see her like that?
Cui Xukun pursed his lips to stop himself from laughing out loud at her reaction. In his defense, he didn't know she lived on the sa floor as his sister. His sister had an apartnt in this building and she always ca to live here when she was either having an argunt with her husband or when she needed so personal ti.
He ca early in the morning to his sister's place and decided to wait until 9 o'clock. Who knew he'd end up seeing Cloe there? He knew she lived in the sa building but he didn't know exactly where or on which floor. Well, now he knew.
Cloe hid behind the curtains and breathed out.
"What's he doing here?" she questioned to herself. Since she couldn't possibly know the answer like this, she decided to just get ready for the date. She'd eventually know what was he doing here.
On the other side...
"Kun!"
"Yes?" Cui Xukun looked at his sister with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Don't smile like that so early in the morning," his sister, Cui Xuqing said crankily. "It's too dazzling and making want to punch your face."
Cui Xukun shook his head at her as he questioned, "Is it that ti of the month again?"
Cui Xuqing threw her slipper at him which he dodged easily as he nodded his head in confirmation, "It's definitely that ti of the month."
Cui Xuqing snorted, "You're so annoying."
"I'm the only brother, you've got," reminded Cui Xukun. "So, even if I am annoying. I'm all you have got."
"How I wish there was a policy of exchanging your brother," said Cui Xuqing. "Don't smile like a fool there and co inside. Make so coffee."
"It's not good to drink coffee in this condition," said Cui Xukun.
"Then make so breakfast!" shouted Cui Xuqing. "You ca here early in the morning to lurk around . Don't take up space for free. Pay for it with labor!"
Cui Xukun tsked at her as he walked inside the kitchen saying, "You don't even feel uncomfortable using your brother as a free labor, eh?"
"Why should I?" retorted Cui Xuqing. "Heaven sent as the elder sister. It's my born right to order you around and it's your responsibility to listen to ."
Cui Xukun, "Evil!" Although he muttered that, he still got busy in the kitchen to make her breakfast. It wasn't the first ti that he was working for his sister. For him, his sister was his whole family. She played the role of a mother and a father whenever he needed her to. So, he had no scruples in showing her filial piety. Even if she said an things, he knew she loved him the most. Sotis, she even loved him more than her own husband and kids. "I'm making so soup to nourish your body. Don't complain later on and drink it obediently."
"Can't you make sothing nice?"
"Soup is also good," retorted Cui Xukun resolutely. "And stop spending so much ti alone. You're married." He took a pause and added, "You even sent the kids to live with their father."
"Will you stop lecturing already?" she rubbed her temples as she closed her eyes and went on, "Don't forget I'm the elder sister here!"
