[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

Fortunately, Lin Su's phone was always on silent mode, and she quickly swiped the red button.

After declining Sheng Qiming's video call, his message came through.

What are you doing? Answer the phone.

I want to come find you. If you don't answer your phone, I'll come find you.

Lin Su typed back to him: 【I'm going to sleep, don't come looking for me.】

Sheng Qiming called again via video, and Lin Su hung up on him.

She texted: "If you keep doing this, I'm going to delete you."

Sheng Qiming quieted down, and the last thing he sent was a crying puppy emoji.

The puppy is cute, but he is not cute at all.

Lin Su exited the chat window with him. She looked up and suddenly realized that Chen Mu was not working and was looking at her with his head turned to the side.

"What's wrong?" Lin Su immediately put down her phone.

"Should we return the 100,000 yuan that Zongyan helped you pay back?" Chen Mu asked.

"No need," Lin Su said, pausing for a moment before hearing him say, "I've saved up some money over the past two years; you can take it and pay him back first."

"No need, no need." Lin Su quickly knelt up and shook her head. "Zong Yan's family is rich. He doesn't care about this little bit of money."

If Lin Su were to return everything Zong Yan gave her, even selling her wouldn't be enough to pay it back.

Moreover, why should Lin Su pay him back? She was only with him because he was rich.

"You don't need to return it to him," Lin Su said. "I can't see him now; his family won't let us meet."

Chen Mu turned around and looked at the computer screen. "Okay."

When the topic of repaying the money came up, Lin Su thought about how much she owed Chen Mu. She had even sold her dilapidated house to pay for her grandmother's medical treatment, but it still wasn't enough.

It was Chen Mu who lent her the money, but he was also a student, so he borrowed money from his uncle's family and his scholarship.

It was originally more than 100,000. Chen Mu helped her pay off some of it, and Lin Su also paid off some of it with her salary from those two years.

Zong Yan helped her pay off the remaining money, but Lin Su still owed Chen Mu money, which he refused to pay.

At that time, Lin Su didn't have any money either. She couldn't very well ask Zong Yan to give her ex-boyfriend money.

"I still owe you money." Lin Su knelt on the bed and moved to the edge, holding her phone. "I have some money now, let me pay you back."

The desk was right next to the bed. Chen Mu turned his head to look at Lin Su, who had moved over, and asked, "How much money do you have?"

That's definitely more than him, Lin Su didn't dare tell him, "It's just a little bit, just enough to pay you back."

"No need," Chen Mu said. "Keep it for yourself."

Lin Su didn't persist. She said "Oh," rolled over, and left. Lying on the bed, she asked, "When are you going to sleep?"

"Coming right away." Chen Mu closed his laptop, went to the bathroom to wash up quickly, and came out a while later wearing a set of blue pajamas.

Lin Su was still awake, looking at him with her eyes open. Chen Mu lifted the other blanket, glanced back at her, and said, "I'm turning off the light."

"Um."

After the lights were turned off, only rustling sounds remained in the room, but once he lay down, there was no sound at all.

Lin Su carefully turned her head and could only see a blurry figure. He was lying down with his hands pressed on the blanket, in a very proper sleeping posture.

Lin Su still remembers the first time she went home with him, he slept in the same position when he made a makeshift bed on the floor next to the bed.

But later, when it got cold, he caught a cold and then he went to bed. They each had their own blanket so that no one would bother the other. They were both people with very proper sleeping postures.

As night deepened, the person who had been sleeping in a proper position turned her head slightly, and faint, soft breathing came from beside the bed; she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Chen Mu only glanced at it twice before lying back down facing the ceiling. He looked at the dark light above him and before he knew it, it was dawn.

Chen Mu got up at seven o'clock in the morning. He quietly washed up, but Lin Su still woke up.

She sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard in a daze, staring blankly as he moved around the room, her dark eyes following his every move.

"I'm going to work. You can sleep a little longer. When you wake up, go downstairs and buy breakfast yourself," Chen Mu said before leaving, putting on his coat and scarf.

Lin Su didn't answer, looking like she wasn't fully awake yet. Chen Mu walked to the door and then came back. "Did you hear that?"

"When are you coming back?" Lin Su asked, snapping out of her daze.

Around nine o'clock in the evening.

"It's so late," Lin Su sighed. Chen Mu glanced at her again, then opened the door and left.

After he left, Lin Su couldn't sleep either. She got out of bed, washed up, and went out. There was a breakfast stall downstairs, so she bought two steamed buns and ate them.

Afterwards, she went to the mall and spent an hour buying Chen Mu a long down jacket, two sweaters, and a pair of shoes.

After buying her things, she returned to her rented room, put them down, and left again.

Lin Su returned to Shuijun Bay. She still needed to take her medicine; she couldn't stop taking her Chinese medicine. While she was taking her medicine, Sheng Qiming, who had received the news, arrived.

"This smell." He frowned immediately upon smelling the Chinese medicine, his face showing disgust. "It smells awful."

Lin Su was still sipping her drink, her expression unchanged, when Sheng Qiming pinched his nose and leaned closer. "Don't you find it bitter?"

"Bitter." Lin Su finished drinking it without changing her expression.

Even after finishing the medicine, the unpleasant smell lingered, and Sheng Qiming's little scheme was suppressed.

He felt around and found a piece of candy in his pocket. He unwrapped it and fed it to Lin Su, saying, "Eat some candy to calm your nerves."

Lin Su tasted the bitterness in her mouth and shook her head. "I can't eat it, it will interfere with the medicine."

She wouldn't eat it, so Sheng Qiming ate it himself. His mouth was sweet, and he couldn't help but look at her face. The bitter smell of medicine around him couldn't stop him either.

Lin Su quickly took a step back. "Can you help me move my things?"

"What is it?"

"I want to move out as soon as possible. Could you help me move my things from here to Swan Bay?"

Sheng Qiming came here hoping to have a romantic chat, but ended up doing hard labor all afternoon.

He struggled to move his things, saying, "Should we hire a moving company?"

"No need." Lin Su didn't plan to take most of the things. After all, Swan Bay had everything she needed. Once she moved out, they could do whatever they wanted with the rest of the things.

She had originally planned to spend the New Year in this house, but now she doesn't need to.

Having a car was convenient for Sheng Qiming. After moving the things, Lin Su treated him to hot pot.

She only wanted to find a seat in the lobby, but he insisted on going to a private room upstairs, where the price suddenly increased several times.

Lin Su thought that this was the only time Sheng Qiming had tried to hold her hand while they were having hot pot, but she had dodged him each time.

After finishing the hotpot, Sheng Qiming wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stretched out his hand, which was red from being slapped, and said resentfully, "Yesterday you said you'd let me kiss you, and today you beat me up like this."

He just wanted to hold her hand.

Lin Su said, "I'm sorry, just pretend I lied to you yesterday."

Sheng Qiming was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Lin Su: "I still can't accept you."
