As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Mu Xi's voice.
"What’s wrong?"
Ouyang Zhirou leaned in closer, standing on her tiptoes to whisper in my ear.
"Nothing much, just missed you and thought I could call," I replied.
Zhirou silently mimed exaggeratedly beside me: "Oh, oh, oh, you miss me, how disgusting!"
Just by watching her lips move, I could tell exactly what she was saying.
"What are you up to?"
"Don't even mention it. I received a long message from my advisor and have been stuck at home studying all day. I didn’t even have time to look for you. Can we hang out after the Welcome Party?"
I could hear Lin Mu Xi’s exasperated tone through the phone.
"You're getting a free pass, and you’re still ranked first in our class. The capable take on more work. You can do it! After the party, I’ll go out with you."
"Hehe, sounds good! I’ll hang up now, bye!"
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
"Don’t you need to say 'bye' back to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhirou shot me a warning look as if to say, "If you dare say no, you're done for!"
But if I didn’t respond, I’d be in trouble too. Lin Mu Xi might just come over to my house demanding a proper goodbye. And if she found out I had moved and that Zhirou was living with me without her knowing... that would be disastrous!
Though she would find out eventually, as long as I could delay it for a day, I'd have more time to figure out how to explain things.
"Alright, bye!"
Hearing my response, Lin Mu Xi finally hung up satisfied.
"Hmph!"
Zhirou merely scoffed and turned away, but her actions made my heart race.
"Zhi Rou!"
"Don’t call me! I'm going to take a shower. If you dare peek, I'll dig your eyes out and turn them into a necklace!"
Oh my God! What have I done to deserve this?
Soon, the sound of running water filled her room as she took a shower. It was this very sound that sent my mind racing, stirring up a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.
At that moment, two voices were arguing in my head. "No, Zhao Lun! You can't peek! Sneaking a glance at a girl while she's bathing is shameful and wrong!"
But the other voice countered, "Why not? You love her, and she loves you. You've already kissed; what's the harm in taking a look?"
These two voices clashed relentlessly in my mind, but in the end, I managed to resist the temptation!
Half an hour later, the delivery arrived, costing me a pretty penny!
With Ouyang Zhirou tidying up her clothes, the entire afternoon slipped away just like that, and soon it was seven in the evening.
Looking at the freshness of the food and the exquisite preparation, it was leagues above the cheap takeout I usually got. There was a reason for its price.
Ouyang Zhirou emerged from the bathroom, freshly washed.
"All done? Come eat; the delivery just arrived!"
As I turned to look at her, I couldn't help but stare for a moment, and before I knew it, blood began to trickle from my nose.
