MTMIO Chapter 26
by VolareChapter 26: She Only Wanted to Drown in This Obscure Fluttering
Bright yellow light, like diluted paint, poured onto the canvas painted with night, sketching out light and shadow. Yue Yunxi stood with her hands behind her back at that intersection.
She wore a light gray cardigan over a white camisole, paired with rice gray trousers, simple and plain, very casual home wear.
She looked as if she had been lying on the bed or sofa for a nap, and had just woken up not long ago, slipping on a cardigan and going out.
Whether it was because she was dressed in a hurry or walking too fast, one side of the cardigan slipped down, revealing a large expanse of white skin.
Yue Yunxi didn’t bother with it.
Lu You’s eyes skimmed over it like a dragonfly skimming the water, quickly looking away, and she said with a slight surprise, “You… why is Sister Yunxi here?”
Yue Yunxi’s shoulders drooped slightly, she took an almost imperceptible deep breath, and the corners of her red lips curved, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, “I haven’t received a reply from you, and I was worried something had happened to you.”
The first half of the sentence was a coquettish complaint that she hadn’t replied to her message.
The second half was concern mixed with genuine worry.
Like the tone of pleading her not to leave the group, strands of it curled around her ears.
A strange but not abrupt ambiguity, so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, lurked in the night, and was suddenly picked up by a wisp of evening wind, brushing towards Lu You.
The dryness wrapped in that wind enveloped her, making her feel a little hot.
Lu You rubbed the tip of her nose with her finger, moved it to her ear and twisted her ear cartilage, and said in a very weak tone, “Ah,” and said, “Didn’t I reply? I thought I did…”
She thought that the acting in this sentence should seem more real than Yun Zhu’s.
But she forgot that Little Pinocchio’s nose grows when he lies, and he can’t change his habitual small movements.
Yue Yunxi saw it, but didn’t expose her, and instead teased, “Oh~ Your memory isn’t bad?”
Lu You opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, but she couldn’t say that she hadn’t forgotten, that she deliberately didn’t want to reply.
She was afraid that Yue Yunxi would ask why, and she couldn’t answer the reason.
She was also afraid that Yue Yunxi wouldn’t ask anything and would start thinking sensitively.
It felt like she had dug a big pit for herself, fell into it, and couldn’t complain.
Lu You pursed her lips and forced a save, saying, “Just a cold.”
The muffled nasal sound seemed to carry a hint of coquetry.
Somewhere in her body, the monster that had been forcibly tied up seemed to have smelled the fragrance of food and was eager to move.
Yue Yunxi slowed her breathing, stifling the restlessness there, and asked, “What’s the answer you gave in your heart?”
“Ah?” Lu You reacted and replied, “Oh, I won’t leave, I’ll join in the fun.”
Yue Yunxi silently curved her lips, moved her hands from behind her to in front of her, and said, “Actually, I came to bring you and Grandma souvenirs, and to return the umbrella.”
After all that, she had been teasing her all along. Lu You couldn’t help but “tsk” and looked over.
The gift box was square and upright, with a just red hot-stamped outer packaging, tied with a red ribbon, the end of which was tied in a bow and wrapped around Yue Yunxi’s fair hands.
The extreme color contrast stimulated her vision. Lu You blinked her eyes slowly twice.
The weight was too heavy, so Yue Yunxi lifted the gift box up a little, holding it with both hands.
It was like holding a cluster of fire in front of Lu You.
Burning away most of the resentment that had arisen from her wondering why she didn’t notify her when she went abroad.
Lu You lowered her eyes and took the gift box from Yue Yunxi’s hands: “Thank you.”
“Also, I wanted to discuss some things about the Xicheng trip with you in person.” As Yue Yunxi spoke, she turned her head and nodded, pulling her drooping collar back into place.
The sound moved with her movements.
Lu You’s eyes unconsciously followed, glimpsing the edge of her clothes lightly brushing against the fair skin of her shoulders, and then quickly looked away, falling into the void.
She didn’t speak, waiting for Yue Yunxi to continue.
Until she heard Yue Yunxi softly asking, “Can I come in? I’m about to be driven crazy by mosquitoes.”
“…”
Lu You rubbed her ears, stepped aside to let her in, and explained, “I didn’t deliberately not let you in, I was mainly afraid of passing my cold to you.”
Yue Yunxi didn’t care much: “I’m not afraid of being infected by you.”
Lu You sniffed her stuffy nose: “It’s very uncomfortable to have a cold, and you can’t sleep well at night.”
Yue Yunxi smiled: “I can’t sleep well at night even without a cold.”
“You?”
Lu You was slightly surprised, she thought that Yue Yunxi, as a self-disciplined person, should have a very regular schedule and good sleep quality.
But should doesn’t necessarily mean must.
She immediately asked with concern, “Have you not been sleeping well recently? Why can’t you sleep well?”
Yue Yunxi’s eyes dimmed for a moment, she raised the corners of her mouth and laughed softly: “I’m talking about you.”
Lu You: “…”
Seeing her expression freeze, which was a little cute, Yue Yunxi’s smile deepened a little, she didn’t tease her anymore, and changed the subject, asking, “Is Grandma not at home?”
“She took Auntie Liu to the square to dance.”
Lu You invited Yue Yunxi to sit on the sofa, and casually placed the gift box on the coffee table, “You sit for a while, I’ll go wash a cup, the TV remote is on the coffee table.”
She went to the kitchen as she spoke.
Yue Yunxi responded, listening to the faint sound of water, accompanying her heartbeat.
Under the pretext of sending souvenirs, she had come to Lu’s house many, many times.
She always secretly hoped that Lu You would be at home.
But things always went against her wishes.
Only last month, when she saw Lu You come back, could the two of them meet.
Like this, being alone with her, was a scene that hadn’t even been realized in her dreams.
Yue Yunxi lowered her head,
Not wanting to watch TV at all.
She only wanted to drown in this obscure fluttering.
Her lowered gaze fell on the coffee table, sweeping over a pile ofsilk winding materials, and fixed on the screen of the phone in front of her.
It hadn’t reached the automatic lock time, so the screen was still lit, staying on the chat window with Yun Zhu.
Unintentionally seeing the chat content, Yue Yunxi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, she took out her phone from her pocket.
In the time period when she was rushing over and didn’t have time to look at her phone, Yun Zhu had sent her more than a dozen messages.
Two-thirds of them were crying emoji.
Of the remaining one-third, half were apologies and half were asking what to do.
Yue Yunxi was about to reply.
The phone suddenly vibrated in her palm, Yun Zhu couldn’t wait and called.
Yue Yunxi directly hung up, switched to WeChat, finished typing in the input box, and pressed send: [I’m at Youyou’s house, I’ll contact you later]
[Bamboo]: [???]
[Bamboo]: [6]
Catching a glimpse of Lu You’s figure, Yue Yunxi calmly put away her phone.
Walking to the coffee table, Lu You put down the bowls and cups filled with lychees and grapes one by one.
Then, she took out a small green glass bottle from her pocket and handed it to Yue Yunxi, saying, “Here’s green balm for you, it’ll help the mosquito bites.”
The hands that had washed the fruit and bowls hadn’t been wiped dry, and the water droplets stained the slender finger bones, rippling into Yue Yunxi’s eyes, spreading out lightly.
She took the green balm, unscrewed the cap, lifted her trousers to reveal her fair legs, dipped a little green ointment into her fingertip, and smeared it on the red mosquito bites on her ankles and calves.
Lu You looked away and asked, “Cold water or hot water?”
Yue Yunxi’s hand paused, “Hot water.”
Lu You picked up the kettle and poured her a cup of hot water, then sat down on the sofa on the side, “Not watching TV?”
“There’s nothing I want to watch.” Yue Yunxi handed the green balm back to her, saying, “I’ll go wash my hands.”
Lu You instructed: “Turn the faucet to the right for hot water, don’t use cold water.”
A person who is delicate to the bone is like a moon, naturally emitting a clear light, never thinking of illuminating the dark night, but illuminating many people.
Yue Yunxi responded softly, “Okay.”
Lu You opened the drawer of the coffee table and threw the green balm in, casually picked up her phone and put it in the pocket of her air-conditioned jacket.
After a while, Yue Yunxi came back, and as she walked around the coffee table and sat back on the sofa, she pointed to the scattered Wandering Flower semi-finished products on the coffee table and asked, “What are these for?”
“Wandering Flower brooches, Grandma is preparing them as gifts for everyone.” Lu You took a lychee from the bowl, “The camellia is for Granny Lizi, the lotus leaf is for Feifei, the blueberry is for Zhong Mi, the ginkgo is for Zhizhi, the pear blossom is for Li Can, the bamboo is for Yun Zhu…”
The lychee peel was peeled off little by little as she spoke, and finally a red skin was left pinched in her fingertips, holding a Snow white full pulp, about to be sent to her lips, but suddenly stopped.
Yue Yunxi’s eyelashes trembled, she looked away and picked a grape from the bowl.
“By the way.” Lu You suddenly remembered and said, “I just chatted with Yun Zhu and found out that the concert tickets for Tao Xin that I bought at the beginning of last month were from her.”
After a few seconds of pause, she looked towards Yue Yunxi and asked, “Does Sister Yunxi know about this?”
Yue Yunxi casually tore off a small piece of grape skin and said honestly, “I know.”
Lu You raised her eyebrows, seeing her fingertips gently twisting the top of the grape, and then tearing off half of the grape skin.
Her unhurried voice also fell:
“I grabbed an extra ticket and asked her to sell it.”
Lu You continued to ask in the midst of the increasingly noisy heartbeat, “Then do you know if she sold it to me?”
The last bit of red-black grape skin was also peeled off.
“I know, the address you filled in was Lanwan, she noticed that the house numbers of the two families were adjacent and told me.”
Yue Yunxi pinched the wet and sticky grape pulp between her fingertips, pressed it between her red lips, and her eyes turned to the end, gently meeting her gazing eyes.
Their eyes met.
After only a second or two, Lu You lowered her eyes first, and then saw Yue Yunxi open her lips, biting off a little of the pulp before putting it in her mouth.
The overflowing grape juice outlined her lips even more red.
Lu You’s eyelashes fell down a little more, “So you knew we would meet a long time ago.”
“Yeah.” Yue Yunxi admitted.
After a moment of silence, Lu You swallowed and said, “Then you still told me it was a coincidence, you already knew.”
She didn’t dare to ask deeply, the concert tickets sold at the original price had been asked about by so many people, for what reason did Yun Zhu choose to sell them to her.
Before placing an order, the seller couldn’t know the buyer’s address.
“I only knew a little earlier than you, I really thought it was a coincidence at the time.” Yue Yunxi said slowly, “Yun Zhu sold the tickets based on a first impression, she didn’t expect that the person who caught her eye was you.”
Is that so? Lu You was dubious.
Yue Yunxi’s calm and generous, dignified and reserved persona was just an appearance to her, because the more she came into contact with her, the more contrasting sides she discovered.
So, would she have a mischievous side?
Yue Yunxi looked at her gradually emptying eyes, twisted her sticky fingers and said, “I didn’t say it at the time because I was afraid you’d overthink it.”
A light sentence was like a door suddenly being opened, the air and the cicada and frog noises from outside flooded in, breaking the heat of a midsummer night.
She was indeed overthinking it.
Lu You lowered her eyelids and put the whole lychee pulp in her mouth, not asking any more questions.
Grandma and Auntie Liu came into the house chatting and laughing, and greeted Yue Yunxi with surprise when they saw her.
“You’re here to bring souvenirs again.” Grandma asked with a smile, “Did you go to Japan this time?”
Yue Yunxi smiled and said, “Yeah.”
Lu You widened her eyes in surprise, hesitated for a long time, and couldn’t help but ask, “How did Grandma know Sister Yunxi went to Japan?”
“Yunxi said it.”
Lu You turned her head to look at Yue Yunxi, her face full of doubt.
No, why did she tell everyone, but not her?
“I happened to meet Grandma walking the dog by the dike one morning before I left, and we chatted on the way back together, and we talked about this.” Yue Yunxi explained softly.
Lu You muttered, “…Oh.”
Grandma patted her arm with the back of her hand, arranging, “Move over a little, I want to open the gifts.”
Before she finished speaking, Yue Yunxi moved to the side, making room for her, and Lu You had no choice but to sit over.
The gift box was opened by Grandma, inside was a lacquer mini vase, the size of a palm, with lacquer paintings piled up with various flowers, gorgeous and delicate.
Yue Yunxi said, “This is a ten thousand flower small vase, when I saw it, I thought of you.”
Grandma’s name was Wan Hua, she said she liked it several times, and praised Yue Yunxi for being thoughtful.
She also took out three boxes of Takarazuka cookies, the boxes were very beautiful, but the cookies tasted just so-so.
Old people like this kind of cookie box the most, Grandma poured the cookies into the snack plate on the coffee table, and said, “I can use it to put silk threads.”
Yue Yunxi said with a smile, “I guessed you would like it, so I bought different colors.”
After that, Grandma took out shoulder and neck pain relief patches, handmade canvas bags, various candies and snacks…
Finally, Grandma pushed the gift box to Lu You and got up holding a pile of things, saying, “The rest are for Youyou, I’ll go put these away.”
Lu You spat out the lychee pit, raised her eyelids and looked over, there was still a box of liquor chocolates, a Nara deer piggy bank, and a plastic-sealed glass bead necklace.
The glass bead was a gradient from Asakusa yellow to lake green to dark blue, a round bead.
Like a firefly Perch in the gift box.
Wiping her hands with a wet wipe, Lu You took the necklace out of the box.
“This is a firefly glass bead fired by a handmade jewelry store owner.”
Lu You’s thumb that was stroking the bead paused, feeling Yue Yunxi getting closer to her.
The Qingling voice intertwined with warm breath lingered in her ear, low and light, but clear.
“I hope a ‘firefly’ that will always shine can heal all your unhappiness.”
The smooth surface of the glass bead made her fingertip slip down a bit, leaving a space, which exactly corresponded to the beat that her heart skipped.
Lu You raised her eyelashes, turned her eyes to look at her side, and looked into another kind of glass bead.
A light amber color, containing a gentle feeling like moonlight and streams.
She inexplicably remembered the familiar greetings from the stall owner on top of the mountain that night when they were together.
Lu You moved her lips: “Then what about you? Do you also have such fireflies to heal your unhappiness?”
Yue Yunxi’s eyelashes fluttered very lightly, she didn’t say yes, nor did she say no, she only said, “What can heal me is not fireflies.”
Lu You raised her eyebrows: “Is it climbing mountains?”
Yue Yunxi curved her lips and laughed, uttering a soft “Hmm,” and changed the subject, asking, “Do you want to wear it?”
“Not for now.” Lu You rubbed the bead, slowly clenching it in her palm.
The brilliant color was gradually Converge in her palm, and at the same time dimmed from the bottom of Yue Yunxi’s eyes.
Lu You didn’t wear it, but she didn’t put it away either, just grasping it in her hand like this, suddenly remembering the business and asking, “Didn’t you say you wanted to talk to me about the Xicheng trip? What’s the matter?”
“Does Grandma get carsick?” Yue Yunxi asked.
Lu You replied, “No.”
“I asked Grandma’s attending physician before, and she can take a plane, so we’ll drive to the airport, take a two-hour flight to Xicheng, and I’ve contacted a friend in Xicheng to be a guide, and she’s arranged a tourist bus for the entire trip, and the accommodation I’ve arranged is in a B&B in the old city, which is close to several scenic spots.”
Lu You listened seriously, her eyebrows raised, how did it feel like Yue Yunxi had arranged all the travel matters properly.
Just thinking about it, Yue Yunxi pressed the phone screen a few times and said, “I’ve sent you a copy of the itinerary, you can take a look.”
Lu You took out her phone.
In the received travel itinerary, the time to take the bus was marked in detail, the estimated travel time was estimated, photos and addresses of the accommodation environment were posted, the scenic spots to visit were listed, the free time was noted, and the cost per person was budgeted…
Even below the driver’s contact information, there was a note for plan B——
If the elderly get carsick, rent a small car locally.
“Tell me directly if you have any questions or need to adjust anything.” Yue Yunxi said.
“No.” Lu You shook her head and smiled, “I used to make the itineraries for trips, this time I’m really enjoying myself.”
“Then it looks like I’m not enjoying myself.” Yue Yunxi Lip, “I’ll leave it to you next time.”
Lu You: “Okay.”
The straightforward answer made “next time” become smooth and natural.
Yue Yunxi lowered her head to hide her smile, and said slowly, “Then send me your ID card number, I’ll book the tickets together.”
Just as Grandma came back, Lu You asked Grandma for her ID card and sent the two numbers to Yue Yunxi.
Yue Yunxi: “Depart at seven in the morning, I’ll remind you again one day in advance.”
“Okay.” Lu You once again exclaimed with curved eyebrows, “It feels so good to have someone arrange everything, thank you Sister Yunxi.”
Yue Yunxi tilted her head slightly, her eyes Converge with cunning and tenderness: “Then for the sake of my hard work, send me off.”
It was only a few steps from the living room to the entrance, Lu You thought for a while, changed her shoes and went out with Yue Yunxi.
Yue Yunxi looked at her with slight surprise.
“Send you out of the courtyard gate.”
Lu You left the door ajar, leaving a crack, and turned her head to see Yue Yunxi standing on the edge of the corridor,Tire on her toes.
Rocking back and forth in a curved arc.
The two walked side by side on the narrow path paved with stone fragments, with lush flowers and trees planted on both sides, which were in full bloom, covered in the sultry summer air, rich and fragrant.
There was a pottery vat standing in the corner of the wall, accumulating water from a whole plum rain season.
Suddenly there was a plop, and I didn’t know if it was the fish raised inside turned over, or a little frog outside jumped into the vat.
Lu You moved her lips: “You.”
Coincidentally, Yue Yunxi also opened her mouth.
Then, they fell into silence together.
After a few seconds, it was broken by Yue Yunxi’s soft laughter, she asked, “Me what?”
A mosquito bit her arm, and the feeling of itch spread up, Lu You scratched it, and asked, “Did you also tell Feifei about going to Japan this time?”
“Yeah, I asked her for help last time, so this time when I went to Japan, I asked her if she wanted me to bring anything back.”
“…Oh.” The mosquito bite was still itchy even after scratching, she pinched a cross on it and asked, “What kind of help?”
“The yacht trip, I asked her to tune the piano if she had time.”
The cross was pinched too hard, and a little astringent pain suppressed the itch.
Lu You gave a faint “Oh” sound.
After a while, she still couldn’t help it: “Why didn’t you ask me to help tune it?”
Yue Yunxi replied softly, “I was going to ask you, but we arrived later than them.”
Lu You: “…”
Glancing at her side, Yue Yunxi lowered her head, as if smiling.
Lu You withdrew her eyes expressionlessly, reached out to open the lock of the courtyard gate, the lock buckle clanged softly, and she muttered softly, “Everyone knows you went to Japan for the competition, except me.”
Yue Yunxi heard it.
But the tone of blame hidden in this sentence reminded her of the vinegar dipped in soup dumplings she ate at night.
It was sour.
So much so that she was wondering if she had misheard, and asked to confirm, “What did you say?”
Lu You realized that this mentality was awkward and didn’t want to say it again: “Nothing.”
She asked, “What did you want to say just now?”
Yue Yunxi pursed her lips lightly: “Nothing.”
Lu You stopped opening the courtyard gate and turned back to look at Yue Yunxi.
…Was she deliberately imitating her? To show that she was unhappy?
“I was saying, it seems like I’m the only one who doesn’t know you went to Japan.”
She said it again, but this time the tone gave Yue Yunxi a different feeling, more like disappointment at being ignored.
Yue Yunxi sighed softly: “I’m sorry…”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell her.
It’s just that she couldn’t do it like she would with ordinary friends, generously informing Lu You “I’m going to Japan for a competition.”
The feeling in her heart was different, when facing Lu You, she would involuntarily attribute reporting her itinerary to something that only couples would do.
But they weren’t.
So, holding her phone, in a place that the other person couldn’t see, at a time they wouldn’t know, she opened the chat window countless times.
Countless times, she typed words in the input box.
Countless times, she deleted them.
And she couldn’t say any of this.
Lu You tugged at the corner of her mouth: “It’s okay.”
Walking out of the courtyard gate, she stopped, about to say goodbye, when she first heard Yue Yunxi say to her in a soft tone and a clear voice:
“Next time I go out, I’ll tell you everything.”
She used the word go out.
Not only limited to going abroad.
A car in the distance turned from this intersection, and the car lights swayed between the two, illuminating a warm hue in a dim distance.
Lu You rolled her throat: “Oh.”
After the car drove away, she asked, “So what did you want to say just now?”
“Hmm?” Yue Yunxi quickly turned around, knowing that she had probably misunderstood, and her voice showed a bit of innocence, “I can’t remember, I guess it wasn’t anything important.”
Lu You: “…Sister Yunxi’s memory isn’t very good either.”
Yue Yunxi: “But I never said my memory was good.”
“…”
Yue Yunxi raised her lips and smiled, the subtle breath drilled into Lu You’s ears, seeming to be there and not there.
Lighter than a feather scratching her.
Lu You turned her face away, raised her left hand and shook it slightly: “Bye-bye.”
Immediately afterwards, her palm felt a coolness.
Yue Yunxi raised her hand and patted it lightly.
The strength was very light, like a gust of wind, slipping through her fingers, catching a strand of soft sound.
“Good night.”
Lu You lowered her hand, unconsciously twisting it twice.
Lowering her eyes to look at it, the light of the mother-of-pearl on the Tail ring was reflected in her eyes.
It wasn’t like the fireflies she first saw, which would disappear in an instant.
ˉ
A few days later, Lu You gave Auntie Liu a holiday and took Grandma on a trip to Xicheng.
Grandma and Granny Li Can met after coming out of the airport, and they seemed like old acquaintances who had known each other for many years. Once the topic started, they couldn’t stop. After getting on the bus, the two naturally sat together.
Li Can pulled Jian Yanzhi to sit across the aisle.
Lu You sat behind the old ladies, leaving a seat by the aisle.
She originally planned to let Chen Feifei sit over, but before Chen Feifei had time to turn to her, Yun Zhu grabbed her arm and dragged her to the back row: “Sit in the back with me and Mimi, don’t even think about running away if you can’t get through this close, I’m telling you.”
“You serve the dishes so slowly, how can I get through it, I’ll change my last name to yours!”
“Come on!”
“Let’s go!”
After settling Chen Feifei, Yun Zhu used both hands to grab Zhong Mi, who was like a stubborn ox, from behind: “You can’t run either!”
Zhong Mi stared at the seat next to Lu You, trying to move there.
Until she saw Yue Yunxi sit over, she gave up struggling and was dragged to the back row by Yun Zhu.
After everyone was seated, the driver started the car.
She didn’t sleep well the night before, and got up too early in the morning, Lu You didn’t have the energy to chat, she was all Wilted.
Yue Yunxi observed that her complexion was not good and asked with concern, “Not feeling well?”
“No,” Lu You said tiredly, “Just sleepy.”
Yue Yunxi: “Then sleep for a while.”
Lu You replied weakly with an “Hmm.”
After a while, her eyelids began to fight, the sun shone on her face, hot, and the closed eyelids were all a Roasted oranges color.
But she was so sleepy that she was too lazy to pull the curtains.
Dazed, she felt a soft coolness touching her lips, Lu You frowned, squinted her eyes and opened a slit, and saw a Snow white arm lying across her face like a Crispy lotus root.
She wondered if it would be sweet if she took a bite.
The sound of the car window being pulled up cut off her thoughts.
The bright orange color that had been bake her eyelids dimmed.
The air conditioner above blew on her body, just the right coolness.
Before losing consciousness, Lu You felt her head tilted down, supported by a cool and soft palm, gently moving her so that she could lean on a slightly rough shoulder.
When Lu You was awakened by Yue Yunxi, the car had already stopped at the door of the B&B.
She leaned back and stretched her sore neck, half-drooping her eyelids, and followed the large group out of the car, pushing her suitcase towards the service desk.
Then she leaned against the counter, her hand supporting her head, closing her eyes, listening to Yue Yunxi’s conversation with the front desk.
“I’m really sorry, it’s our problem, how about this, we’ll upgrade a double room to a suite for you for free, and there’s a king-size room in the suite.”
Then there was a chattering discussion.
Her head wasn’t supported by her palm, and suddenly knock down, her consciousness instantly cleared a little, Lu You opened her eyes and saw Yue Yunxi walking towards her in her blurred vision.
“Why are you so sleepy, did you go thieving last night?”
The tenderness also contained a bit of teasing.
“I may have drunk the milk tea cooked by Grandma, the tea flavor was too strong, I didn’t sleep all night.” Lu You yawned, and hearing Yue Yunxi’s soft voice, she felt a little sleepy again, “I just heard something about a room upgrade, are we changing rooms?”
“During the peak tourist season, there aren’t enough rooms, and the customer service arranged a double room that I booked in advance for someone else. The solution given is to upgrade one of the double rooms to a suite consisting of a double room and a king-size room.”
Lu You nodded and cut straight to the point: “Which room am I sleeping in?”
“The king-size room in the suite.” Yue Yunxi said.
Lu You nodded again: “Lizi and her grandmother are sleeping in the double room in the suite, right?”
“The two grandmothers want to be together, so they’re sleeping in that room, and Lizi and Zhizhi are staying in the double room downstairs.”
Lu You’s head was lowered, her brain that had just woken up was still as sluggish as if it had rusted, and she asked slowly, “Then I…am I staying with Mimi?”
“Mimi wants to be with Zhu and Feifei, so it’s convenient to play games.” Yue Yunxi explained patiently.
Lu You was dazed: “Then who am I with?”
“With me.”
Lu You was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up, suddenly raised her head, her eyes widened.
With whom???
