The message was sent, but Xiao Linye didn't reply. By the time Ye Yuning had finished her bowl of noodles, there was still no response from him!
Should I save it for him or just clean it up? she wondered.
However, this dilemma persisted until she was ready for bed. Xiao Linye still hadn't replied or returned. Eventually, she gave up and went straight to sleep after washing up.
Thinking of the next day's events, Ye Yuning even set a vibrating alarm, then fell asleep clutching her phone.
Xiao Linye didn't return until past three in the morning. When he saw the bowl of congealed noodles on the table, the gloom on his face was instantly replaced with softness.
When everything was tidied up and he headed back to the bedroom, he tried his best to move quietly but still ended up waking Ye Yuning.
Groggily, she picked up her phone to look. "It's so late? Why are you only back now?" she mumbled casually.
Xiao Linye took off his coat. "I was delayed by some matters. Did I wake you?"
