Chapter 101 - Panic (1) (1/2)
”Ah…” Yunru touched his chin and understood his theory. He chuckled. ”It doesn't work that way, champ. Your aunt and I aren't married so we cannot stay together.”
Zizi cleared her throat. She pursed her lips as she felt slightly disappointed, but she didn't understand why. Something tugged her heart as if she was rejected.
”O-of course. Don't even dream hah. As if I would ever marry a lowly man like you…” she averted her gaze. ”Come on Siying. It's getting late.”
She scurried away in her room as quickly as possible. She collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Everything until now that happened on this incredible night today flashed in her mind. From the moment they met until their dance.
The dance…
She felt as if the places where Yunru touched were still warm by his touch. The way he held her waist, the way their hands were intertwined, and the way he pulled her towards him and protected her from that molester... everything was spinning in her mind.
”Ahhhhhh!!!”
She tightly hugged Siying and buried her face.
What is wrong with me today? Why am I thinking of him so much?
Siying frowned. ”Aunty! You are holding me too tightly!”
Zizi's mouth twitched. ”It's just that you are too cute and cuddly. I cannot help it.”
Siying pouted. ”I know I am cute! But I cannot breathe!”
Zizi sighed. With his chubby hands, Siying patted her head. ”Good Aunty.”
”You...don't act like an adult.”
”I am three! I am not a kid!”
Zizi snorted. ”Sure. My bad. Now go to sleep or you will get dark circles on your pretty face. Then you won't be cute anymore.”
”I am sleeping!” With the threat to his cuteness, he promptly covered himself in the duvet. Zizi giggled and joined him.
As she closed her eyes, a whisper gently escaped her mouth.
”Yunru…”

At the same time, Yunru was fiddling with his phone for a long time now. He hadn't seen Shuang's message yet.
Maybe she wants to meet me? Maybe she wants to say sorry? Or maybe she is mad at me for ignoring her messages?
He knew he would get his answer once he opened her message, but he couldn't bring himself to do that.
Shuang wasn't an arrogant woman. If she knew she made a mistake, she wouldn't hesitate to mend the situation. Most probably, Yunru thought that he would find her sorry in her message. And he wanted to end this silence, too, and get back together.
But…
Yunru exhaled a deep breath, feeling exhausted. He simply closed his eyes as he slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xiaosi woke up as he rubbed his forehead. Strangely, he felt a cold sensation on his skin.
Why is it so cold?
He opened his eyes and they rapidly blinked as he realized that he was sleeping on the bed. Beside him, he saw Chyou asleep. But besides Chyou, he didn't see Caihong.
