Is my roommate a caged bird? I'm stealing her away.

As soon as the call ended, Liu Weiwei immediately leaned over, her eyes wide with curiosity, and grabbed Zhou Suisui's arm: "What did you say? What did you talk about?"

Then, Zhou Suisui recounted everything that had happened that night to Liu Weiwei in detail, from beginning to end, including what Liu Weiwei had seen and what she hadn't.

Upon hearing this, Liu Weiwei's eyes widened, her mouth agape, and it took her a long time to stammer out, "I...I'm so pissed."

So many things happened after she left. Liu Weiwei leaned back on the sofa and pondered for a while, then looked at Zhou Suisui:

"Don't you think he might be interested in you?" She paused, then added, "No, no, of course I know about your relationship, it's just... it's just that your situation today, and the fact that he specifically called me, is this a way of trying to make amends?"

"No matter how I think about it, I don't think this is something a sugar daddy should do." Liu Weiwei said, standing up, composing her expression, and mimicking Chen Boxu's cold and hard tone, "If you don't do it, there are plenty of other women who want to be my woman."

She turned to look at Zhou Suisui, pouted, and said, "That's more like it!"

Zhou Suisui hugged her knees, rested her chin on her arm, and looked at Liu Weiwei speechlessly: "You'll put on a show for him later."

"I'm asking you, what do you think?" Liu Weiwei sat back down on the sofa and spoke lazily.

Zhou Suisui thought about what happened today, her voice muffled: "I don't know... I feel like he's quite gentle sometimes, like he likes me, but other times, he's such a jerk! The things he says can make you furious."

"Um... but I think you two look like a couple, especially today..." Liu Weiwei said cautiously.

Just as Zhou Suisui was about to ask her why, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Liu Weiwei immediately glanced at the clock on the wall and muttered, "So fast?" Then she looked at Zhou Suisui and asked with her eyes.

Zhou Suisui also glanced at the time and realized that almost an hour had passed since she hung up the phone. Damn, time flies! She still had questions to ask.

She hesitated for a few seconds, pursed her lips, then stood up, walked to the door, and did not open it immediately.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Suisui turned to Liu Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, thank you. Then... I'll go back with him first."

Liu Weiwei nodded and whispered, "Okay, you... call me if you need anything... don't act impulsively."

Zhou Suisui nodded in response, then opened the door, walked out, and closed the door behind her.

Chen Boxu stood outside the door, his gaze sweeping over her. He noticed her noticeably red and swollen eyes, and her slightly lowered face, unwilling to meet his eyes.

He didn't move or say anything.

Zhou Suisui lowered her head and walked past him sideways, with Chen Boxu following closely behind.

Once inside the elevator, she turned her back to him.

He reached out and gestured for Zhou Suisui to turn to face him. He gently lifted her chin with his fingers, the pressure light but enough to force her to raise her head.

Zhou Suisui was forced to meet his gaze, her eyelashes still damp.

How embarrassing! I don't want him to see this.

Chen Boxu's gaze lingered on her swollen eyes for a moment, then his fingertip lightly brushed against her chin.

"Why are you crying?" His voice was low and emotionless, but he didn't let go of her chin.

He held Zhou Suisui's chin, tears welling in her eyes: "I'm sad because you told me to get lost!"

Chen Boxu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a deep voice, "When did I say that?"

"You said you'd follow my lead, isn't that what you meant?" She paused, as if adding evidence, "You also told me earlier to recognize my place."

Chen Boxu looked at her red eyes and frowned slightly.

"Zhou Suisui," his voice was low, tinged with impatience yet exceptionally clear, "the only person who would give me the cold shoulder and still make me come pick them up in the middle of the night is you."

After saying that, he didn't give her a chance to ask questions. He grabbed her wrist directly, with considerable force.

"Let's go quickly."

Zhou Suisui was pulled along by him, staggering as she followed his steps. She didn't say a word the whole way, and Chen Boxu remained silent as well.

The car was already waiting downstairs. The two got into the back seat, and the car was silent except for the low rumble of the engine. The driver kept his eyes straight ahead and drove steadily.

"That driver has amazing composure; he deserves to make money," Zhou Suisui thought to herself.

Speechless all the way.

The car finally stopped downstairs at the apartment building. Chen Boxu got out first, followed silently by Zhou Suisui.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Boxu released her hand, walked straight to the sofa in the center of the living room, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and then sat down heavily.

His brows revealed an obvious weariness, and even a rare hint of irritability.

Standing in the entryway, Zhou Suisui looked at him like this and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Damn! Is picking her up this tiring? She didn't force him! Zhou Suisui suddenly really wanted to leave.

But Liu Weiwei felt that he seemed to like her, and Chen Boxu's almost compromising words suddenly flashed through her mind.

She hesitated for a few seconds, bit her lip, and then walked towards Chen Boxu.

She stood in front of him, looking down at the top of his head. His hair was so thick; she felt he wouldn't go bald.

Zhou Suisui steeled her heart, reached out, cupped his face, forced him to raise his head, and kissed his lips.

The kiss was light, with a hint of probing.

Chen Boxu's eyelashes fluttered slightly. His amber pupils held no emotion as he silently gazed at her face, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a hint of displeasure at being disturbed.

"what."

Zhou Suisui's cheeks flushed slightly under his gaze, but she still steeled herself and said in a soft but clear voice:

"I'm going home soon...it's almost dawn." She paused, looked away, and added softly, "...If you don't want it, then forget it."

Chen Boxu stared at her for a few seconds.

What are you looking at! Why does this guy always make her take the initiative? Zhou Suisui's cheeks grew redder and redder.

At this moment, Chen Boxu stood up, reached out, pinched her chin, and turned her face back to face him.

"Go home?" he repeated, his voice even deeper than before. "Who gave you permission to go home?"

After saying that, he let go of her hand and pressed Zhou Suisui's head down hard: "Go to sleep."

Damn! How can she sleep like this?

Ignoring Chen Boxu's words, Zhou Suisui opened her arms and hugged his neck, snuggling into his embrace and burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"I want..." she said in a muffled voice, her breath warm against the skin of his neck.

Chen Boxu's body stiffened slightly. He looked at her in his arms and remained silent for a few seconds before holding her by the back of the neck.

The force was considerable.

"Zhou Suisui," he said in a low, husky voice, carrying a dangerous undertone of being thoroughly aroused, "let go."

Zhou Suisui sensed the danger in his words, but instead of being afraid, she hugged him even tighter and whispered in his ear:

"I want to... be so tired I can't sleep anymore." She paused, her breath brushing against his ear. "Okay...?"
