67 I Want to Stay by You (1/2)

Mo Han turned to look at her, ”There's some things that I need to discuss with her tonight.”

Shen Rou sneered, ”What is it that I can't know?”

Mo Han glanced at her, as he said, ”It's just some things that happened in school. You can come in and listen if you want to.”

Shen Rou's heart relaxed a little at this, ”I don't want to listen to your meaningless conversation.”

Mo Han said, ”Don't just leave the dishes that you cooked like that. You should go eat first.”

”No, I want to eat together with you.” Shen Rou whined.

Mo Han sighed, ”Alright. I'll go talk to her first, then come back and eat with you.”

Shen Rou finally smiled, ”Go quickly. I'll wait for you.”

Mo Han knocked on Xia Qingyi's door, but no-one responded. Mo Han peered through the gap under the door to see that there was no light.

”Are you asleep?”

”I'm asleep.” Xia Qingyi replied grumpily from inside.

Mo Han kept quiet as he opened the door. There was no light in the room apart from the small flash of light shining into her room from the living room so he could not see where she was.

”Why didn't you turn on the lights?” he asked.

”Didn't I tell you I was asleep?” Xia Qingyi's tone was one laced with slight resentment. She had originally thought that Mo Han would close the door after hearing what she had said and leave what he had wanted to say to the next day. She had thought wrong.

Mo Han turned on the lights of the room with a loud click, and the room was suddenly filled with light. Every corner of the room was exposed to him, while Xia Qingyi had her arms wrapped around her legs. She was sitting on the floor by the bed as she used her hand to block her eyes from the sudden light.

”Can't you say something if you're turning on the lights?” Xia Qingyi shouted.

Mo Han did not reply as he closed the door behind him. He walked up next to her and looked down at her, ”Why are you back so early today?”

”Why didn't you eat dinner outside?”
