After hanging up, Murong Ye looked at Gu Yuxuan .
Gu Yuxuan's expression was conflicted yet moved, it made others very anxious .
Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye did not say anything and just stared at Gu Yuxuan .
The room was silent .
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a drenched person came das.h.i.+ng in . The trio turned their heads toward the door and were all slightly surprised .
Murong Xu was in a very disheveled state and panted heavily, "I wanted to wait for you to call me but I cannot wait any longer, so I came here right away . "
"How . . . how did you know that I'm here?"
"Just now when I was here, I already guessed that you would be here . "
"Then why did you still leave?"
"I wanted to give you full respect . Since you deliberately did not want me to know that you are here, I'll then pretend to not know . But I regretted it the moment I stepped out of the door . I felt that I could not wait any longer, I want to see you right away . . .
"So you've been standing outside the door all along?"
"Yes!"
"In the rain?"
"I'm afraid that if I go too far I'll miss you when you leave, so I stood outside . If you're gone, I don't where else to find you . "
In the meantime, Murong Ye went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel for Murong Xu . He then left the room and left the two together .
Murong Yunxi patted Gu Yuxuan's shoulder gently and stood up to exit the room as well .
The room became silent once again . Murong Xu's clothes were dripping with rainwater . A puddle had formed beside his feet .
"Since you're here, say whatever you want to say . " Gu Yuxuan broke the silence first and said . She then looked at him with a tight gaze .
"Xuanxuan, that Liu Beiqi is not anyone important . I don't want her to affect our relations.h.i.+p . She's just an incident from the past . "
Gu Yuxuan looked at him without saying a word . She did not have any emotions on her face . Murong Xu continued talking .
"When I was in Year Four, my roommates and I made a bet . In the end, they set me up and I lost the bet . The punishment is to chase whichever girl they pick and date her for a month . I admitted defeat and took up the punishment . So I went to chase after Liu Beiqi . On the next day, she agreed to go out with me . We dated for a week before I realized that she was the one that set up the whole thing with my roommate Chen Haiyang . I broke up with her immediately but she wouldn't admit no matter what and claimed that it was a misunderstanding . Since I was already in my fourth year, I couldn't bother to get caught up in this with her, so I moved out and cut off all contact with her completely . I didn't expect to run into her again . "
"But, why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I've completely forgotten about her . If she didn't say it, I would have almost forgotten that it happened . So why would I have told you?"
"But now she wants to get back together again!"
"Our thing in the past was not even considered legit dating, how can she get back together with me? It's just her wishful thinking . "
"So what do you plan to do now?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"How would I know? She's working in the same team as me now, I don't even know how I'm going to get along with her . "
"Then don't . A woman like her is not worth to get along with . Why not get Xiao Xi to fire her? It's best if we erase her completely . "
"How could you do that? This is not jobbery!"
"As long as it can make you happy, so what if it's jobbery!"
Murong Xu walked up to her and scooped down in front of her . Using both hands, he held her small hand and smiled faintly as he looked into her beautiful eyes .
"Are you still angry?"
Gu Yuxuan hit his hand away and pretended to be angry . "I am!"
"How are you still angry? Didn't I explain it to you already?"
"You're my first boyfriend, but now your first is someone else! It's unfair!"
"Didn't I already say that I have no feelings for her in the first place?"
"But, thinking about how you've once held her hand, hugged her, kissed her . . . I feel uncomfortable . "
"I didn't!"
"Ah?"
"I've never hugged or kissed her and we only held hands once or twice . Anyways she was the one that initiated it . "
"Who's gonna believe you!"
"Then what you need to believe me?"
After saying that, Murong Xu sneezed and his nose started running .
Gu Yuxuan quickly grabbed two pieces of tissue from the coffee table and blocked his nose .
Murong Xu grabbed her small hand and smiled at her sheepishly, "Xuanxuan, let's reconcile, okay?"
Gu Yuxuan rolled her yes . "Did I say that we did not reconcile?"
Hearing that, a wide grin spread across his face instantly . He leaned in to give her a peck on her pinkish lips . . .
"Achoo . . . " He sneezed again and his snot came out again .
Murong Xu wiped his nose clean and sneezed several more times .
"Did you catch a cold?" Gu Yuxuan looked at him with a worried look .
"Yea, it's okay, I'm good!" Murong Xu was smiling very vibrantly as if he was not the one being sick .
"You're good?" Gu Yuxuan looked at him in surprise .
"When I was in college, I hear the schoolmates in my dormitory say that when your girlfriend is angry, standing in the rain to catch a cold is very useful . And I didn't expect it to really work!"
Gu Yuxuan's face fell immediately and her gaze became cold .
Murong Xu realized that he had said something wrong and covered his mouth immediately . His small face was as pitiful as a submissive wife .
Gu Yuxuan slicked his forehead harshly, "Try and learn these weird things again and see how I deal with you! I'll forgive you for now since it's your first time!"
Murong Xu's face lit up again instantly . "Yes, wife!"
Gu Yuxuan's cheeks flushed red immediately . "Who said I'm your wife!"
After which, she stood up and ran outside .
Murong Xu grabbed her arm in one swift move and asked eagerly, "Where are you going?"
"To find the medicine that Xiao Xi gave you!"
Murong Xu's sweet smile returned . He was as childish as a little kid .
Gu Yuxuan was taken aback when she saw how he was being so 'cute', yet she felt that he was really cute . She felt her heart tightening because of how much she liked him and all of her anger was gone .
Gu Yuxuan went out of the door and Murong Xu went into the bathroom .
When she came back again, she heard running water from the bathroom .
"Xu? Are you taking a shower?"
Gu Yuxuan shouted towards the bathroom . After waiting for a moment, it seemed like he did not hear her . There was no answer .
She walked into the bathroom and knocked gently on the shower's door . "Xu, are you taking a shower?"
Other than the sound of running water, there was still no reply from the bathroom .
Gu Yuxuan started to feel uneasy . She hesitated for a while before she pushed open the door .
She had just opened the door slightly when a big hand grabbed onto her arm . With a forceful pull, Gu Yuxuan was pulled into the bathroom .
She was pushed up against the wall and Murong Xu rested one hand against the wall beside her ear while still grabbing onto her arm with another .
He looked at her intensely and said with a longing tone . "What a pity!"
"Ah?" Gu Yuxuan could not catch up to his speed . She did not know what was going on .
"It's a pity that I've caught a cold so I can't kiss you . "
Her face flushed bright red immediately . Her gaze was filled with the confliction from feeling embarra.s.sed .
Murong Xu lowered his head until he reached her neck . He muttered in a low voice, "Xuanxuan, in the future, please believe me . Don't believe others and doubt me . Let's not fight again, okay?"
Murong Xu's warm breath hit against her neck . The tingling touch caused her to feel a little hot . She pushed him away gently . "Okay!"
She then fled away from the bathroom like a lightning bolt . Seeing how fl.u.s.tered she is, the corners of his lips curled into a nice angle .
His Xuanxuan was this cute and loveable . He should cherish her even more .
Thinking about it, he had a sudden thought which caused his smile to grow even brighter .
Gu Yuxuan rushed out of the bathroom and she could feel her cheeks still burning .
Someone knocked on the door and upon opening, she saw Murong Yunxi standing there holding onto a tray .
Murong Yunxi smiled and asked, "Am I disturbing both of you?"
Gu Yuxuan rolled her eyes awkwardly, "What are you saying!"
Murong Yunxi scanned her face . "Then why is your face so red?"
"I . . . I'm just feeling a little hot . "
"Oh, really? It's raining outside, it's quite cooling . Seems like the temperature of love in this room is on the rise . "
"Stop it, annoying Xiao Xi . You only know how to tease me . "
"Okay, I'm here to deliver ginger soup for your Xu . I specially made Mrs . w.a.n.g boil it . Let him drink it while it's hot . "
"Okay!"
As they spoke, Murong Xu came out of the shower . He wrapped a white towel around his waist and was topless . Water was still dripping from his hair .
Although Murong Xu always seemed very gentle and composed, at this moment, his naked body was quite the sight . Although his figure was not as good as Murong Ye and Gong Yu's, he still had the muscles at the right places . This made Murong Yunxi feel very awkward instantly .
She coughed gently and put down the try in her hand and turned to leave . "Alright, I shall not disturb the two of you . Before you become all lovey-dovey, remember to drink the ginger soup first!"
Murong Yunxi left quickly after throwing the sentence at them . This increased the loving atmosphere in the room .
Gu Yuxuan's cheeks were still bright red . She was as attractive and cute as a red apple .
On the other hand, Murong Xu was calm about it as he said, "Don't worry, I have a cold now, I won't do anything to you . "
It was alright if he did not say that, but once the words left his mouth, Gu Yuxuan became even more uneasy . "Um, how do we sleep at night?"
Murong Xu scanned the room and looking at the only bed, he asked, "Are you trying to say that there's a second bed here?"
Gu Yuxuan shook her head gently .
"So you're planning to let a patient sleep on the sofa?"
She shook her head again .
"Then, of course, we are sleeping on the bed together! Or do you have any other ideas and is trying to hint to me? If that's the case, I don't mind both of us falling sick together!"
A sinister smile formed on his face immediately . He walked towards her slowly . . .
