Chapter 895: Chapter 897: Overthinking

Now, when she looks forward to receiving calls from Xiao Yifei every day, Xiao Yifei has stopped being good to her. She suddenly remembers what he said during their good times: "Rongrong, after being with you, I’ve finally found a sense of security. Every time I hear your voice, see you, I feel so at ease, for the first time I feel my life is so complete."

Tang Rong’s tears welled up in her eyes. She had reminded herself more than once before, that sweet words are nice to hear, but don’t take them seriously. But this time, what he said was too moving, and she believed it.

Perhaps girls are all like this. When they first get together, they have an indifferent attitude, but as time goes on, they fall deeper and deeper, becoming like a child waiting for him to soothe them. Thinking of this, Tang Rong couldn’t help but curse herself in her heart, "Tang Rong, aren’t you all grown up? Isn’t it embarrassing to place all your emotions on someone else?"

With these thoughts, Tang Rong felt a bit thirsty. To get to the kitchen for water, she had to pass through the living room, where Xiao Yifei would be. Xiao Yifei must still be in the living room; she hadn’t heard him moving around.

After holding it in for so long, she couldn’t resist anymore and opened the door to go out. She purposely ignored other sights, but from the corner of her eye, she noticed Xiao Yifei on the sofa. She went to the kitchen, drank some water, then returned to the sofa, pretending to look for something. She stole a glance at Xiao Yifei and found that he had fallen asleep. Judging by his appearance, he must have been asleep for a while.

Tang Rong bent down to look and noticed that Xiao Yifei seemed to have become more haggard lately. Even in sleep, his brows were furrowed, showing exhaustion.

Seeing him like this, Tang Rong felt a bit of heartache and regretted how she had acted out just now. She knew he was busy and wanted to understand him, but feelings aren’t sufficient just with understanding.

She reached out to smooth Xiao Yifei’s furrowed brow. At that moment, Xiao Yifei suddenly grabbed Tang Rong’s hand that was on his head and said, "Don’t leave me. You’re all I have left." Hearing this, Tang Rong was startled, thinking he had woken up. But after saying this, Xiao Yifei released her hand and fell back into deep sleep. It seemed he was just dreaming.

Tang Rong’s heart instantly softened. For that sentence, she decided to forgive him. So she leaned down and gently called in Xiao Yifei’s ear, "Xiao Yifei, wake up and go back to the bedroom. You’ll catch a cold here, hurry up."

Xiao Yifei groggily woke up and was pulled into the bedroom by Tang Rong, who carefully covered him with a blanket. As Tang Rong was about to leave, Xiao Yifei grabbed her arm and said, "Please don’t leave, will you stay with me for a while? I just dreamed of you leaving and I couldn’t hold you back."

Tang Rong obediently lifted the blanket and lay down beside him. At that moment, she didn’t want to think about whether Xiao Yifei loved her or not. She just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being needed in Xiao Yifei’s embrace.

Since it had been a long time since he slept in his own bed, Xiao Yifei slept exceptionally well that night. The room had a warm cozy scent, instead of the cold smell of disinfectant. Although Xiao Yifei, being a doctor, was used to the smell of disinfectant, he actually didn’t like it at all.

Tang Rong didn’t sleep very well that night, as Xiao Yifei held her tightly, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. Yet, she was happy; the feeling of being needed wasn’t bad. Deep down, she still hoped to be with Xiao Yifei forever.

Since Tang Rong had to work the next day, she carefully got up, gently moving Xiao Yifei’s arm off her, but still woke him up.

Xiao Yifei woke up feeling a bit confused. It had been days since he slept so comfortably. Stretching lazily, he asked Tang Rong, "What time is it now?" He had completely forgotten what happened last night or how he ended up in this bed with Tang Rong beside him.

Tang Rong replied, "It’s already ten in the morning. You did sleep soundly!"

Xiao Yifei thought, then I’ll sleep a bit longer. Suddenly, he remembered there seemed to be something important he hadn’t done, but he couldn’t recall what it was. He checked his phone, and it was only seven in the morning. He thought perhaps his phone’s time was off until it dawned on him that Tang Rong was teasing him.

"It’s only seven! Why did you trick me!" he complained to Tang Rong, then suddenly remembered the really important matter—he had an appointment with an old Chinese Medicine doctor, Hu Jingtang, for breakfast, probably around 8:30.

Xiao Yifei jumped out of bed, hurriedly dressed, and headed to the bathroom. Tang Rong thought, what’s going on with him lately, getting so worked up, did something happen? So she loudly asked, "What’s got you in such a rush? Aren’t you off work this morning?" noveldrama

Tang Rong’s initial reaction was to think Xiao Yifei was confused, thinking he had to work today, until Xiao Yifei replied to her.

"I know I’m off, but I arranged to have breakfast with an old Chinese Medicine doctor this morning, so I have to hurry. I can’t have breakfast with you today, nor can I take you to work," Xiao Yifei said while brushing his teeth.

Tang Rong listened and felt very uncomfortable. Even though the breakfast appointment was with an old doctor, she felt disconnected from Xiao Yifei’s life. She didn’t know what Xiao Yifei did all day, and Xiao Yifei rarely asked about her work at the company.

But it was early in the morning, and she didn’t want to get angry. She didn’t want Xiao Yifei to feel she was being unreasonable.

So she adjusted her tone and said, "Alright, then hurry up, don’t be late."

After finishing washing up, Xiao Yifei hurried out the door, not even glancing back at her, just accompanied by the sound of the closing door, saying, "I’m leaving."

Originally, Tang Rong had planned to make a delicious breakfast, as it had been a long time since they had eaten together, but Xiao Yifei left just like that. She didn’t feel like making breakfast for herself and thought of just buying an egg-filled pancake from a street vendor later.

Tang Rong tidied herself up slowly before leaving.

On the way, she sent a message to Xiao Yifei: "Let’s find a time to talk properly!" Then she switched off her phone and put it in her pocket. She didn’t want to see what Xiao Yifei would reply, actually she feared more that he wouldn’t reply at all.

Xiao Yifei received the message and only then remembered what happened last night. When he woke up seeing Tang Rong sleeping beside him, he felt pretty happy. He hadn’t thought about what happened last night at all until he saw the message and recalled that there seemed to be some issue between them.

After reading the message, he put his phone in his pocket. He didn’t reply because he didn’t know how to, so Xiao Yifei thought, why not go to her company during lunch and speak to her in person, as miscommunications are easy to happen over text.
