"Hu Keyan, are you listening?"
My gaze drifted, and my expression suddenly turned cold.
"I'm listening, I'm listening."
For some reason, I felt a bit intimidated by Qi Chen's stern face.
Seeing his displeasure, I almost wanted to pull out my notebook and take notes seriously.
But Qi Chen wouldn’t let me off the hook; he scolded me with a frown.
"What are you daydreaming about at a time like this? What’s on your mind all day?"
"I-I-I..." His angry face startled me, and I began to ramble.
"I was just thinking about how you’re so handsome, smart, and kind, and you can even fry an egg. How could I possibly eat just two?"
"..." Qi Chen was momentarily speechless, his ears turning red.
I blinked in realization, finally understanding the flirty words that had slipped out. My face flushed.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat, maintaining a stiff expression.
"You... you need to take this seriously."
"Mm-mm-mm." I nodded vigorously.
We fell into silence, and the atmosphere inexplicably became intimate.
"Well... how about I try staying up past midnight tomorrow?" I suggested hesitantly.
"Sure."
Qi Chen replied and suddenly stood up to clear the dishes in front of me.
"You should go to bed; I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Wait!" I jumped up and snatched the dishes from him.
"Don't move; I'll wash them myself."
“... No need.”
“Wait, wait, let me do it.”
As we were tugging at each other, my hand slipped and the bowl shattered.
Qi Chen fell to the ground, his face pale with anger.
“Xia! Chen! Xi!!!”
He trembled with rage, while I crouched down, holding my head.
“Brother, I’m sorry! Please don’t hit my face!”
“You!”
I felt a rush of air in front of me as Qi Chen's palm struck my forehead with a hard push.
“Ouch.” I sat on the ground and looked up to see Qi Chen covering his forehead with a defeated expression.
“What the hell did I do in my past life to deserve this...”
“...”
The pretty girl looked aggrieved.
Whimper~
The next morning, I was treated to breakfast prepared by Qi Chen—fried eggs.
Eight fried eggs, to be exact.
No, you didn’t read that wrong; eight fried eggs for breakfast.
I reasonably suspected this was an act of revenge.
But Qi Chen insisted he knew I loved them and had prepared them specially.
As for himself, he was happily devouring soup dumplings one after another, shamelessly asking if I was happy.
Oh, so happy—truly overjoyed.
Recalling the nonsense I bragged about last night and Qi Chen’s words about “not wasting food,”
I could only swallow all eight fried eggs with tears in my eyes.
I really can’t understand what he’s thinking.
If I say he’s being mean, he went out early in the morning to buy groceries and make breakfast.
If I say he’s not being mean, after this meal, I swear I won’t want to see an egg for a year.
Fortunately, my suffering seems to bring Qi Chen some enjoyment.
When I got back to school and checked my phone, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Qi Chen had accepted my friend request and sent a photo—Bai Yueguang was clinging to his arm, looking aggrieved.
“Looking at it this way, you and Bai Yueguang look quite alike.”
I was taken aback, recalling the first day of our body swap when I had clung to Qi Chen’s leg like a spoiled child, and I couldn’t help but blush.
Sweet memories flooded my mind.
I happily typed out a long message but deleted it all, finally sending just one word: “Meow?”
That night, I kept my promise and stayed up until two in the morning before sleeping.
The next day, I woke up in Qi Chen’s bed, feeling calm.
This time I wasn’t lying on his chest, but his arm was draped over me, holding me close.
His breath brushed against my neck, warm and ticklish.
My heart raced like thunder, as if it could generate electricity.
Turning my head to see his sleeping face up close, he looked even more handsome.
His usually cold eyes were closed, appearing vulnerable and endearing.
My heartbeat gradually settled down, syncing with his rhythm.
“Thump, thump.”
Enchanted by his beauty, I reached out to gently stroke his eyelashes but fell into a pair of deep-set eyes instead.
Qi Chen was awake.
