"Um... Xi Muchen... could you please step out of the room for a moment?" From inside the bathroom, Xia Wanwan spoke through the door, already feeling utterly embarrassed. All she hoped for was that Xi Muchen wouldn't ask her what she was doing.
Only, reality was always crueler than one's imagination.
"You want me to go out in the middle of the night?" Xi Muchen glanced at the neatly folded pajamas on the bed and, with a hidden smirk in his voice, asked, "Even if you don't want to spend the night with me, it's not quite right to kick me out in the middle of the night for my mom to see, is it..."
"What's wrong with that!" Xia Wanwan was both anxious and embarrassed, "Just go downstairs and do something for a few minutes and then come back up."
"But... are you sure you're not sending me away?" Xi Muchen spoke earnestly, as if he quite doubted Xia Wanwan's intentions, "And you're not even telling me what it's all about. It looks as if you're trying to find a chance to push me out."
