It took a good five minutes from the moment the word “typing” was shown until this text was sent over.
‘Why is he so slow in typing?’
Ning Meng was complaining in her heart, but when she saw his response, she grinned from ear to ear.
[For me, you have always been the most important one.]
Did this not mean that she was the one that Huo Beichen valued? Ning Meng was indeed easy to coax. Perhaps it was because she was an orphan and so, she took affections seriously. She was no saint, but when others sincerely treat her well, she could not resist returning the favor ten times more.
So what if Huo Beichen had had an unforgettable relationship etched into his heart? Who would not have a past? One should not be a hypocrite. What she wanted was now and the future.
Ning Meng had always been an optimist, always choosing to look on the bright side of life. She held tight onto her phone and looked at the sentence again every now and then. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like Huo Beichen was confessing to her.
Finally, she was so elated that she created a group chat with the two friends she had made ever since she had entered the novel. She added Zhen Shanmei and Li Shiyao and named the group “Are You in Love Today?”
Zhen Shanmei: [??]
Zhen Shanmei: [Ning Meng, did you create a group between us singles with this kind of group name because you cannot sleep in the middle of the night? Does this not hurt your conscience?]
Ning Meng: [Nope. In fact, I’m jumping for joy.]
Zhen Shanmei: [?]
Li Shiyao: [CEO Ning, do you have some good news?]
Ning Meng: [Bingo!]
She then sent a screenshot of Huo Beichen’s sentence to the group chat, ending it with: [Okay, now we can all have our showers and go to sleep.]
After she had sent the text, she muted her phone and threw it onto the bed cabinet next to her, hugged her duvet, and happily went to sleep. She did not take into consideration that this screenshot had tortured and wrenched some poor soul’s heart, causing this person to lose sleep that night.
Ning Meng had a pleasantly dreamless sleep that night.
She woke up early in the morning the next day and stretched, and as she held up her phone, she noticed that a bout of conversation had started in the “My Boss Is So Dashing Today” group.
Qi Shan: [Good morning, everyone~]
Zhen Shanmei: [Good my foot. I was fed dog food by Ning Meng in the middle of the night. I could not sleep at all and now, my eyes are so small I can’t possibly go out and meet people.]
Qi Shan: [No worries. No matter how small your eyes are, they will never be smaller than Su Ye’s. @Su Ye]
Ning Meng laughed when she saw this.
Su Ye did indeed have narrow slanted eyes that made him look as though he was constantly smiling. Since he was also short-sighted, his eyes looked like slits.
Zhen Shanmei: [??]
Su Ye, who was teased, did not feel offended at all. He had a good temper and joined in to ridicule himself: [I never thought that my eyes were small until one time when Qi Shan stayed with me because he had no accommodation. He had just come back from overseas and had started working in this company at that time. One day, I was lying down on the sofa watching TV and he had just finished work. When he entered the house, his movements were rather loud, but soon, he quietly closed the door and gently came over to turn off the TV. He dimmed the lights and finally covered me with a blanket… He really thought that I had fallen asleep!!]
It took a while for Zhen Shanmei to understand what this meant, and when she did, she then sent a laughing GIF over. Ning Meng had a good laugh too and then exited the group chat. She saw a good morning text from the “Scumbag” chatbox on the top and replied with a “good morning” as well. After looking at the name “Scumbag” and giving it some thought, she changed his nickname on WeChat to “Lemon Extract”.
As soon as she had changed the nickname, he sent a text over.
Lemon Extract: [Please come home tonight.]
