C58 (1/2)
When she came out of the shower, she saw the message from her phone identifying Ling Xiaosu as the sender. She put down her towel, opened the message on her phone, read it, and took a sip of water from a glass on the table.
Suddenly, he saw Ling Xiaosu's message that he wanted to smoke. The drool in the mouth of the heaven defying official immediately sprayed out, wetting the bed sheets.
With a frown, he placed the cup down and made a call.
While the phone was still ringing, the heaven defying official rubbed his temples with a headache. 'Is this woman crazy for wanting to smoke in the middle of the night?'
Ling Xiaosu, who was on the other side, looked at the text messages and regretted it. He did not expect the heaven defying official to suddenly call him.
After staring blankly for two seconds, Ling Xiaosu answered in panic, ”About that … Hello …”
This woman hadn't gone to sleep yet. She put down her hand, stuck her ear to the phone and replied in a deep, magnetic voice, ”Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?”
The heaven defying official knew that Ling Xiaosu was going to shoot very late. In order to finish the movie as soon as possible, he did not go to rest and instead exhausted himself. What should he do? Did she even have this kind of common sense?
Ling Xiaosu scratched her face awkwardly with her index finger and replied with a silly grin, ”Oh, hehe. Aren't you awake as well?”
Ling Xiaosu purposely changed the topic away from himself and onto the topic of 'defying the will of the heavens'.
The heaven defying official rolled his eyes. The water that he spat out had drenched his bed sheets. He then replied to Ling Xiaosu, ”I just finished my shower and I'm preparing to sleep.”
”Oh, oh. Alright then, you go to sleep first. I'll hang up now.” Ling Xiaosu felt that he had disturbed the rest of this heaven defying official's time, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He wanted to hang up the phone.
”Why aren't you sleeping?” Before Ling Xiaosu hung up the phone, she repeated what she had just asked.
Ling Xiaosu swallowed her saliva as she felt more nervous.
Ling Xiaosu blushed as she replied, ”I … I was just about to go to sleep!” As if to prove that what he said was true, he said the last sentence very loudly.
Upon saying that, Ling Xiaosu's face reddened in embarrassment. Seriously, Ling Xiaosu touched her burning cheeks and cursed herself in her heart. She wasn't swearing an oath, so why did she sound so confident? Stupid!
”Hehehe …” ”Hehehehehehe … hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe …”
”Sleep early, I'll go check on your shift tomorrow.” As if he was finally done laughing, the heaven defying official spoke softly to Ling Xiaosu who was standing at the other end.
Ling Xiaosu's face turned red as she replied in a low voice, ”En.” Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly said in her deep, magnetic voice, ”Xiaoxiao, good night.”
Ling Xiaosu's entire body went blank when she was called in such a gentle manner. An indescribable feeling rose in her heart.
A voice came from the other side of the phone. Ling Xiaosu was still holding the phone absentmindedly as a feeling that even he could not detect spread through his heart.
In truth, she did not hate the way this heaven defying official affectionately called her name. On the contrary, she liked it a little.
He had gone mad. He actually felt that this heaven defying official's way of calling him by such a name was kind of pleasing to him … Ling Xiaosu shook his head, and slapped his face with both hands. He took a deep breath, and tried to cool his face down, but it seemed like this method was useless. The temperature on his face had not yet dropped, and in his mind, he could still hear the deadly 'Xiaoxiao' that heaven defying official had just called him.
This is truly taking my life, Ling Xiaosu thought despairingly. She might have been bewitched by the heaven defying official's voice, and was lost, unable to wake up.
The night was peaceful, except for Li Xiaoyi, who still had not a single trace of remorse in his heart.
