This way of living almost started the day after Lin Xingjie moved into the siblings' home.
The girl still lived in Li Qinglian's room, and Xu Xiangyang had moved into the opposite storage room.
Xu Xiangyang's own bedroom hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, just had the mattress and pillows changed. Sister Lian usually used that room when she was home.
Even though they were young people of the opposite sex living under one roof, and not a couple, the two high school students didn't set down strict rules like most households. Instead, they relied on their unspoken understanding to maintain the cohabitation.
...But this morning seemed a bit different.
Xu Xiangyang waited for quite a while, but Lin Xingjie didn't come out of the bedroom.
He didn't think there was anything particularly strange, sighed, stood up from his seat, and walked toward her room.
The life of one can be regular and rule-abiding, but the lives of two together often become as unpredictable as this.
