"You - " Qiao Yin wanted to say something, but she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and dropped her phone to the floor as she quickly rushed into the bathroom and once again started puking her guts out into the toilet. Their two apartments had the same layout, so even though she was drunk to the point of not even recognizing the face of her neighbor, finding the bathroom was second instinct.
Knowing that she won't be coming out of the bathroom anytime soon, Xiao Yang decided to ignore her. He unbuttoned the shirt that she threw up on and went into his room and changed into a sweatsuit. He then went into the kitchen, poured a cup of cold water, and drank as he rummaged through the refrigerator for some food.
There was no longer any noise of throwing up in the bathroom, but Qiao Yin still hadn't come out yet. Xiao Yang ate a few pieces of bread to fill his stomach and then went into the bathroom, only to find Qiao Yin leaning against the wall while sitting next to the toilet. She fell asleep with her head dangling to one side. After flushing away the unbearable substance down the toilet, Xiao Yang crouched down and shook her shoulder " Qiao Yin."
"mmm... mom..." She groggily responded as she uncomfortably shook her head. With her eyes closed she closed, she mumbled, "let's eat sweet and sour ribs tomorrow..."
The corners of Xiao Yang's lips twitched. He was exhausted, all he wanted to do was to get into bed and sleep and after the ruckus caused by her, his mood was even worse. Seeing that she wasn't waking up, he really wanted to just leave her right there for the night.
However, no matter what happened, she was still his neighbor so doing that was probably not a good idea. After some thinking, he felt her pockets in an attempt to find her key, but he wasn't able to find it. Then he heard the sound of metal clanking inside the pipes.
"...." Looks like he not only flushed away what she threw up, he also flushed down her key.
He massaged his knitted brows in annoyance and then bent over and picked up Qiao Yin, walked into his bedroom, and threw her on the bed.
After concluding that he had done his best, he took a change of clothes, his bath towel and went to shower. After showering, he turned on the air conditioning in the living room and laid down on the sofa to sleep. He had not slept for three days and was exhausted. It was only when he was finally dozing off that he realized that the air conditioning in the bedroom was not turned on, but he was already too tired to get up again, so his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
Thus the next morning Qiao Yin woke up due to the heat.
She woke with a head-splitting headache and she groaned in the pain as she slowly sat up on her elbow, slightly opening her eyes. She felt very hot as she tugged at her shirt and started feeling around, hoping to find the remote control for the air conditioning. But the bedside was not how she remembered it. She remembered the remote control being on the bedside drawer, but when she felt the top of the drawer, it was empty.
She irritatedly felt around some more and then suddenly realized that the furniture looked very foreign. She instantly became sober and completely awake. She recalled that when she went out earlier she had taken some money - it was not a lot, but still she quickly felt her pockets and found the money still there, only her phone was missing. She carefully climbed out of the bed and carefully turned the doorknob and immediately let out a sigh of relief as she realized that it was not locked. She quietly opened the door and peeked out.
An 80-something square meters apartment, one bedroom, and one living room. Standing at the entrance of the bedroom she was able to see the entire living room. Very quickly Qiao Yin located Xiao Yang who was sleeping on the sofa. She then slowly began to recall her actions from yesterday -- She was very drunk yesterday, not only did she not recognize Xiao Yang, she also claimed that his apartment was hers...
Oh gosh! Her image of being a good lady was ruined in one night after four years of hard work! PLUS it just HAD to be with her next-door neighbor!
Holding back her urge to cry out in frustration, she pinched her ears to calm herself. And after taking another peek at the sleeping Xiao Yang, she decided she would go into the bathroom to clean up her appearance. But first, she went back to the bedroom to straighten the sheets, then she glanced around to make sure she did not miss anything. After that, she carefully and very quietly made her way to the bathroom. She found her phone on the floor in front of the bathroom, she quickly picked it up and entered the bathroom, making sure to quietly close the door behind her.
She washed her face as fast as she could. She couldn't find a comb in the bathroom so she used her fingers to comb through her hair and tied it up into a ponytail, then she rinsed out her mouth and after 10 minutes she finally made herself look presentable. She heard footsteps from outside the door and she guessed that Xiao Yang had woken up. After checking her appearance in the mirror one last time, just to make sure nothing was out of place, she opened the bathroom door.
She didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door, she would be greeted by the scene of Xiao Yang standing at the door, holding a cup of water, and leisurely looking her over.
"Xiao Yang." She exclaimed, startled for a moment before she quickly put on a smile, "I'm very sorry, I drank a bit too much last night." She finished with a solemn sigh, then in an extremely earnest tone, she said "I'm very thankful that you let me stay for the night. Otherwise, if I was in the hallway and someone else saw it, it would make it's way to my mom. Thank you, someday I will treat you to a meal."
"No need, I'm very busy" He bluntly rejected and then proceeded to walk and walked passed her. He stood in front of the sink, put the cup down and picked up his toothbrush. When he picked up the toothpaste, he suddenly remembered something and turned to face her, "Your key was thrown into the toilet by you and flushed away."
"Ah? Oh, that's okay, I have a spare available downstairs with Xiao Li." She was a bit shocked, but quickly smiled and waved her hands to show it wasn't a problem.
“mmm." Xiao Yang swiftly squeezed the toothpaste onto the toothbrush and went ahead to rinse his mouth and start brushing.
"Then I will take my leave, sorry for bothering you. Really, thank you very much." Sensing that her presence was not really welcome, Qiao Yin quickly excused herself. Then she suddenly remembered something and turned back, "do you want to go downstairs for noodles? I want to go buy breakfast, how about I buy you one too?"
Since he was brushing his teeth, his reply was a muffled, "no need."
Qiao Yin didn't say anything more and simply turned and made her way to the door. As she left, she recalled four years ago when she had just moved here, her mother, Shen YanFang went around the neighborhood to "observe" and when she returned, she said to her "This neighborhood has plenty of youngsters in your age range. You must utilize this opportunity, if you feel that there is someone who catches your eye, try dating them. But you must remember, that Xiao Yang across the hall is a no go. He does have a handsome appearance, however, he is a policeman. Not only is his job dangerous, but his phone must also be on 24/7 ready to receive orders at all times, busy to the point of never seeing an end. Your job as a lawyer isn't idle either, if both of you are busy all year round, it will definitely end up in a break up."
In these four years, Qiao Yin would think about it sometimes as well, even without Shen Yanfang's speech, it would be impossible for her and Xiao Yang to be together since he has always been indifferent to everyone, while she was very warm. Don't even mention being a couple, just being friends would be difficult.
In a daze, she opened the door to see someone standing in front of her apartment door. Observing closely, it was an elderly lady, in her hand was a handful of keys. The lady turned her head and they made eye contact and her expression instantly went from normal to shocked.
Great. Qiao Yin took a deep breath, if this was not a dream, then that elderly lady was definitely her mother, Shen YanFang.
