I accepted the call immediately because I didn’t want to wake Lin Yixin up. It was Beiming Xue’s number.

"Big brother?" Beiming Xue asked softly.

I smiled. "Hi, Beiming. Long time to see."

"Yeah!"

Beiming Xue’s voice grew relaxed. "Are you sleeping, big brother?"

"Almost. I just lay down on the bed."

"I heard that Sister Lin Yixin went to Xinjiang to look for you. Is that true? Is she with you right now?"

"Yep," I replied casually. However, my answer got a not-so-casual reply as Beiming Xue’s tone climbed several decibels.

"I knew it! You’re sleeping with Sister Lin Yixin! Hmph, your daring knows no bounds, big brother…"

My jaw nearly hit the floor. "It’s not what you think, Beiming!"

"Hmph! Only a guilty person would say that…"

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, yes, I’m sleeping with Yiyi, so? What are you gonna do about it? Bite me?"

Beiming Xue: "I want to visit you too, big brother…"

Me: "I may be heading home very soon, so please hang on just a bit longer, Beiming. I don’t even know how I’m supposed to persuade Yiyi to go home, if you girls show up too, it’ll truly be a mess…"

Beiming Xue: "You don’t want me anymore, big brother?"

"It’s not like that…"

"What are you doing right now, big brother?"

"Er, going to bed?"

"Don’t...
