When I woke up the next morning, Zhou Ran's room was already empty.
The room was tidied up very neatly.
Only a note was left on the bedside.
Zhou Ran said that he had reconciled with his family and moved back home, but his family had already arranged for him to go abroad, and he just hadn't told us.
On the note, his handwriting was flamboyant and elegant.
"Sorry, buddy. No need to see me off. Just send me an invitation when you get married, and I'll send a big red envelope."
Wang Xingci held the note, completely confused about what had happened.
"What do you mean sorry?"
I hesitated for a moment, not revealing the truth, and simply walked over to him to change the subject appropriately.
"Wang Xingci."
"Yeah?"
"Do you like me?"
Wang Xingci's hand holding the note froze in mid-air, surprise flashed in his eyes, emotions surged, and his ears gradually turned red.
I thought that with his shy personality, he would stubbornly refuse to admit it.
But he sighed instead, "You finally figured it out."
Saying this, he pushed me down to sit on the edge of the bed. Just when I was astonished that things were progressing too quickly, he turned around and ran away.
He ran away...
I sat on the bed, lost in thought for a long time.
A few minutes later, he pushed the door open again, holding a small bouquet of unwrapped fresh flowers.
I frowned.
Why do these flowers look a bit familiar?
Unable to help myself, I took a closer look and suddenly realized that these were the same pots of flowers that Wang Xingci had on his balcony.
He pressed his lips together and said, "They say love should start with a bouquet. I couldn't make it to buy one in time, so I hope you can make do with this for now."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and placed the flowers in my hands.
"I need to confess some things."
Before he could say anything, I spoke up first, "Taking the bus was intentional, coming to my house to fix the plumbing was intentional, and raising the rent to force me into sharing a place with you was also intentional."
"Wang Xingci." I felt shy but still looked at him with flushed cheeks.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
"…There is."
Wang Xingci honestly confessed that he had been thinking about me for a long time. He found out my age through his mother, and when he initially mentioned that the landlady warned him about my bad temper, it was just an excuse he made up on the spot.
So that's how it was.
I suddenly understood why he had muttered something like "Sorry, Mom" back then...
He really is a professional at deceiving his mother.
Epilogue
The morning after Wang Xingci and I got together, we unexpectedly ran into the landlady downstairs.
Me.
My identity had changed, and I suddenly felt nervous, realizing I hadn't explained everything to her yet, which made me panic.
"Big... Sister."
I stammered a greeting, and without even looking, I knew my face must be pale from anxiety.
The landlady suddenly smiled.
"Still calling me Big Sister?"
I was taken aback, then quickly realized that Zhou Ran must have called her to explain.
I swallowed hard, feeling even more tense.
In the next moment, Big Sister walked over and took my arm.
"I thought this carefully selected daughter-in-law had been snatched away by Zhou Ran."
I froze, my attention caught by the first few words: carefully selected daughter-in-law.
Big Sister said she had already set her sights on me, but her son had not returned to the country, so she kept offering me a very low rent to keep me as a potential daughter-in-law. She had also deliberately brought her son to my house to collect rent.
She intended to introduce us at that time, but coincidentally ran into me downstairs and while chatting with me, Wang Xingci disappeared.
Later, when I called about the broken water heater, she also intentionally sent Wang Xingci over.
And that night when she saw me and Wang Xingci at the hotel, she was both shocked and overjoyed, afraid of scaring me, so she pretended not to know Wang Xingci and left.
To give us space to develop our relationship, she held back for two months without visiting. Little did she know that when she finally did go over, she received a "big surprise" upon learning that I was with Zhou Ran.
Layer by layer, the misunderstandings were unraveled.
I feel a bit shy and said, "Sister, I will definitely work hard to learn how to cook in the future."
"No need, Wang Xingci cooks really well. Let him make food for you in the future."
Wang Xingci? Cooking?
Wow, this person can cook but never mentioned it, insisting on having me make instant noodles for him every day.
After a few seconds of pause, Sister gave me a reproachful look and said, "Still calling me Sister?"
I tentatively called out, "Mom?"
She was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no! Mom didn't bring any renaming fee today, dear."
I quickly shook my head and pretended, "The renaming fee isn't important."
"But I was planning to give you a renaming fee of one hundred thousand and one..."
"Okay, Auntie!"
