Chapter 258: Chapter 176: From Now On, Our Paths Will Never Cross Again

Hotel room.

Seeing no reply from the other side, Lin Yufei happily continued scrolling through short videos.

But after a while, sleepiness hit her again, and she dozed off without realizing it.

Who knows how much time passed.

The morning sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, with a beam of light falling right on Kong Xiaoyi’s face.

She groggily opened her eyes, instinctively grabbed the phone beside the pillow, and took a look.

Only six-thirty!

She twisted her sore neck, which immediately made her grimace in pain, letting out a "hiss" sound.

A stiff neck!!

At 1.65 meters tall, she had curled up on a 1.5-meter sofa for the night. Having a stiff neck seemed quite normal.

Never meddle in other people’s business again!

Kong Xiaoyi silently made a vow in her heart, sat up from the sofa, and stretched with a stiff neck.

But in the next moment, her brain, which was still in standby mode, was suddenly forced to power on.

She stared in shock, her mouth agape and eyes widening several times over.

This...

Oh my god!!

On the big bed in front of her, her best friend was actually sleeping with Shen Yixiao.

Her head was resting on Shen Yixiao’s arm, and a leg draped over him. She was sleeping soundly, with a bit of drool at the corner of her mouth.

What, they just slept together like this!

Kong Xiaoyi quickly picked up her phone, opened the camera function, and snapped the scene.

Is this a photo?

No!

This is breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!

Yu Fei, you wouldn’t want to ruin your reputation, right...

Kong Xiaoyi had a wicked smile on her face, taking several more close-up shots from different angles.

As she was happily admiring her work, Lin Yufei suddenly moved, showing signs of waking up.

Seeing this, Kong Xiaoyi quickly fell back onto the sofa, pretending to sleep.

But due to her haste, her stiff neck twisted again as she lay down. But to keep up the pretense, she silently gritted her teeth and endured it all.

She waited with her eyes closed for a while.

But Lin Yufei just moved a bit and showed no intention of waking up.

Oh come on!!

Kong Xiaoyi winced and rubbed her neck.

At this moment, a familiar phone ringtone suddenly rang.

It was the chorus of "Chasing the Wind."

Kong Xiaoyi knew this was her best friend Lin Yufei’s phone ringtone.

Hmm, now this should be good!

Kong Xiaoyi secretly turned on the video recording function on her phone, wanting to capture Lin Yufei’s reaction completely.

And to her excitement, things were developing in a more exciting direction.

The long-sleeping Shen Yixiao was the first to be awakened by the ringtone.

He picked up the phone and instinctively pressed the answer button, groggily saying "Hello."

But what came from the other end was an airport announcement.

[Passengers on Xiangjiang Airlines flight A67777 to Beijing, please note that your flight is about to depart.

Please take your carry-on luggage, show valid identification, and proceed to boarding gate 20 as soon as possible]

"What the heck?"

Shen Yixiao rubbed his dazed head and hung up the call directly.

But the next moment, he realized his arm was being pressed by something.

Both sore and numb.

There seemed to be something heavy on him too.

Shen Yixiao turned his head, and then exclaimed:

Oh crap!

What... what’s going on here!

At this moment, the ringtone of "Chasing the Wind" rang out again.

The soundly sleeping Lin Yufei finally woke up.

She then discovered she was resting her head on Shen Yixiao’s arm, and one leg was draped over him.

Ah!!

Lin Yufei screamed and jumped up from the bed, blushing, her voice trembling as she questioned, "You, you didn’t do anything to me, did you!"

Now fully awake, Shen Yixiao looked innocent, rubbing his sore arm, complaining, "You’re fully clothed, what could I do! Plus, my arm is so numb from you lying on it, it won’t even lift. If I end up disabled, you’ll have to take responsibility!"

Recalling the scene when she woke up, Lin Yufei was momentarily speechless.

And her phone kept ringing incessantly.

Lin Yufei quickly grabbed her phone, and the name on the caller ID was [Sister Min]!

"Don’t say anything."

"It’s my mom!"

Lin Yufei quickly motioned to Shen Yixiao to be silent.

Then she cleared her throat, adjusted her mood, and finally answered the call: "Mom, why are you calling so early!"

"Where are you?"

"Uh, the dormitory!"

Lin Yufei decided to tell a lie.

"The dormitory?"

"Are you sure?"

The woman’s voice over the phone was cold as ice.

Almost never lying, Lin Yufei felt a pang of guilt and looked at Shen Yixiao, still sticking to her story: "So early, where else would I be if not in the dormitory!"

"Mom, weren’t you going to meet your friend and come see me in the afternoon?"

Lin Yufei tried to divert the topic.

"Let that boy answer the phone!"

The woman’s voice on the phone grew colder.

What??

Lin Yufei was shocked: "Mom, how did you..."

She quickly swallowed the second half of her sentence and changed it: "What boy, Kong Xiaoyi is right here beside me."

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi!"

"Wake up!"

Lin Yufei quickly walked to the edge of the sofa, nudging Kong Xiaoyi’s leg with her knee, trying to make her vouch for her.

Feigning sleep, Kong Xiaoyi could only open her eyes and cluelessly ask: "What is it?"

"It’s my mom on the phone."

Lin Yufei kept signaling at Kong Xiaoyi with her eyes, pointing suggestively at Shen Yixiao.

She thought this might help her get away with it!

But then her mom said on the phone: "I’m going to call you on video via WeChat, you must answer!"

Beep beep beep...

The busy tone came from the phone.

Immediately after, a video call request from her mom popped up on WeChat.
