The downpour grew heavier outside.
It was late into the night.
Shen Xi woke up feeling thirsty from having the hotpot for dinner. She got up and went to the kitchen for a drink.
She entered the kitchen in a daze when something came flying towards her head. Intuitively, she dodged and heard a thud, which was an object smashing into smithereens right before her eyes. It was none other than a porcelain bowl.
Shen Xi was fully awake now. The bowl would have cracked her skull wide open had she reacted any slower. She yelled, "FU QINGXUAN!"
Fu Qingxuan was looking for something in the cabinet with the lights off. It never crossed his mind that Shen Xi would appear suddenly. His heart melted to see the girl looking aggrieved and adorably angry through her half-asleep yet glaring almond eyes. Without thinking twice, he said, "I'm sorry."
Shen Xi was taken aback.
