Han Qiqing quickly said to him, âWe agreed to meet at your place. Oh yeah, Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie havenât eaten breakfast yet. Prepare some breakfast for them.â
Song Shijun glanced outside the window and said, âAre you sure itâs breakfast and not lunch? Itâll be noon when they reach my place.â
âWhy no just meet at noon then? We can have lunch at my place before setting off.â Song Shijun yawned and laid back to the pillow.
How could she not know what he was trying to do? He must be trying to go back to sleep again.
She howled over the cell phone, âWake up! Donât even think about going back to sleep! If you like to sleep so much, why did you decide to go on this trip? Weâll go there without you.â
âNo, donât leave me alone. Iâm up. Iâve really gotten up. So did Xiaoxiao say when they are coming to my place?â Song Shijun did a kip-up on the bed and he started to sound more awake.
âShe didnât say but it shouldnât be too late. Iâll go over to your place now then.â
âAlright, you can come over.â
âNo more sleeping. If you are still in bed when I get there you better watch out cause I will pour ice water over you, do you hear me?â Han Qiqing threatened him.
Song Shijun felt a great urge to retort, saying, âIâm not afraid of some ice water. I used to get drenched in ice water all the time during my time in special training, alright?â
However, hearing her threatening tone, he could only say, âOkay. Iâm up now. Iâm getting off the bed. Is that good enough?â
âThatâs more like it! Iâm going out now. See you later.â
With that said, Han Qiqing hung up the phone.
âYeah,â Song Shijun replied. He didnât get down from the bed like he told her, but he fell back onto the bed again.
He picked up the cell phone and looked at the time. He estimated that it would probably take about twenty minutes for Han Qiqing to reach his place.
âAnother ten minutes of sleep then!â
He set the alarm clock and covered the blanket over his head.
â¦
Han Qiqing jumped down from the sofa, washed her hands, and was going to go upstairs to get her luggage.
However, a tall figure came walking down from upstairs.
It was her Brother Iceberg.
Eh? Itâs already so late. Why hadnât he gone to his office yet?
She rarely talked to her brother in the past because she was quite afraid of him. But after the last incident, she felt that he cared about her. So recently, she would even start conversations with him.
âBrother, youâre going to the office so late today?â
He nodded. His tone seemed to lack warmth as usual as he only gave a terse reply, âYeah.â
Han Qiqing asked again, âHave you had breakfast yet?â
âNot yet.â This time, he said two words.
âHurry up and have breakfast then. Iâm going upstairs.â Han Qiqing said in a crisp and clear voice.
âYeah,â he replied with a word again.
Such a miser with words.
Han Qiqing roasted him in her mind then she waved to him before scurrying upstairs.
She went into the room and came out with a backpack.
Because they were only going for two days, and it was the nearby Nanxiang Old Town, there was no need to carry luggage around.
She hummed a song as she skipped downstairs.
Passing by the dining room, she instinctively waved to her Brother.
âIâm going out now!â
âHold up.â The icy voice stopped her.
Han Qiqing stopped in her tracks, and she stared at him puzzled. âWhatâs the matter?â
âWhere are you going?â he asked, his eyes turning to the bag behind her.
