It was unfortunate; encountering the same annoying person three times in a single day would make anyone want to run away.
Rofeide made a quick decision to ignore her and headed straight for the nearby apartment.
"Hey, can't you see I'm homeless?" Jing Tingting called out from behind him.
"Honestly, I didn't see that," he replied, initially unwilling to engage in conversation. However, the sharp-tongued young lady didn’t retaliate. Curious, Rofeide turned back to see Jing Tingting with her nose red from crying, looking as if she had been bullied, evoking a sense of pity.
Rofeide felt a wave of frustration wash over him; why was he being subjected to the public's disdain? What trick was this young lady trying to pull?!
"Hey, stop crying! People might think I'm the one bullying you!"
"You are bullying me! Wuwu... I'm homeless, and you treat me like this..." The girl threw herself into Rofeide's arms, pretending to cry so dramatically that she ended up hiccupping.
The reason Jing Tingting had run away from home was simple: her father had decided to introduce her to other suitors after realizing that negotiations with the Yuan Family for a marriage alliance were going nowhere. Marry someone other than Rofeide? Not a chance! Thus, she found herself running away from home for the first time in her life.
However, for someone like Jing Tingting, who was both inexperienced and somewhat directionally challenged, this was indeed a difficult challenge. Fortunately, fate smiled upon her; just when she felt lost and desperate, she ran into Rofeide. She thought to herself that they must be destined for each other!
Rofeide was known for his stoic demeanor as the second most famous ice mountain in the Editorial Department. Yet, his one weakness was that he couldn’t withstand a woman’s tears. Finally succumbing to Jing Tingting's weeping, he sighed and said, "How about I take you home?"
"I don’t want to go home; I want to stay at your place!"
Stay at his place?! Just as Queen had issued her orders, she easily snatched the keys from his hand. Instead of keys, his hand was now firmly held by her soft grip as she pulled him toward the nearby apartment.
Unable to resist her, this strange thought, along with Jing Tingting's radiant smile, brazenly invaded his world, even snatching away his lunch and the big bed!
What kind of world is this? The one living under someone else's roof is even more arrogant than the owner! Rofeide wrapped himself in a blanket and made his way to the living room, deciding to think of a way to drive this troublesome girl away tomorrow. He felt wronged sleeping on the fold-out sofa, nearly twisting his neck in the process.
"Submitting my work... you bunch of bastards..."
As he drifted in and out of sleep, a pretty little face stared at him, grinning incessantly.
"What are you shouting about?" Jing Tingting poked Rofeide's cheek. A man who worked even while sleeping was somewhat similar to her brother in a certain way.
For some reason, looking at him made her feel inexplicably at ease, as if she wanted to share all her grievances with him. And he indeed allowed her to act spoiled and unreasonable.
"Hey, you were the one who flirted with me first. I’m sticking with you for life. You can only like me! Did you hear that? If you don’t answer, it’s taken as a yes."
The only response from Rofeide was his steady breathing. Satisfied, Jing Tingting snuggled into the space beside him and fell asleep together with him.
When Rofeide woke up, it was half-past six in the morning. However, he truly became alert when he noticed a curvaceous woman lying beside him.
Jing Tingting was wearing only his oversized T-shirt, revealing two slender legs—an image that was more provocative than anything restricted by age ratings could be.
No wonder his arm felt so numb; it turned out that this young lady had used his arm as a pillow!
But that wasn’t the main point; the main point was when did she fall asleep next to him? Rofeide suppressed the urge to let blood gush from his nose and was just about to get up when he startled the girl beside him.
"You, you, you..."
After stammering for a long time, Rofeide couldn't find a suitable opening line. However, Jing Tingting threw out a statement that left him speechless.
"You were so naughty last night." As she said this, a pink blush spread across her cheeks, making her look incredibly adorable.
But Rofeide felt like crying without tears!
What on earth had he done last night? Why couldn't he remember anything at all?
