Chapter 454: 454, where does your confidence come from?

Mo Weiyi reluctantly walked away after lingering for a long time.

Hearing the pitiful cries of the puppy, aunt Zhou attempted to convince Weiyi to stay as they walked away, but he was obstinate, his small face cold and unyielding.

When he reached the entrance, just as Uncle Liu was opening the rear car door, Mo Weiyi suddenly turned around and walked back into the villa.

“Princess, did you leave something behind?” Aunt Zhou hurried after him.

Leaving something behind would be good, it would delay his departure a bit longer. It was almost six o’clock, and perhaps if young master Xiao came home from work, he might convince him to stay.

But unexpectedly, Mo Weiyi went straight to the cabinet by the balcony, and picked up the small blue box on top.

“I’m taking them with me.”

Aunt Zhou’s eyes welled up immediately, “Princess, let me come with you, I can help you tidy up your dormitory.”

“No need, you should prepare dinner at home.”

Aunt Zhou: “…”

She was moving to the dormitory, yet still worrying whether the young master would have dinner when he gets home, it was truly heartbreaking.

So, when Mo Weiyi took the small tortoise and went on his way, Aunt Zhou stood at the doorway, relentlessly wiping away her tears until it started getting dark, and Xiao Yebai finally returned home.

“Aunt Zhou, what’s wrong?”

Aunt Zhou sniffed, but seeing the man’s expressionless and cold demeanor, she felt a resentment well up within her. Without uttering a single word, she turned around and walked away.

Xiao Yebai: “…”

Mo Weiyi placed a call to Chen Jin on the way.

“Miss Mo?”

“Teacher Chen, I am sending you a new address. Come here for tutoring tonight; Uncle Liu will take you home afterwards. Don’t worry.”

“Alright.” Chen Jin readily agreed.

Upon arriving at the school, the car pulled up directly in front of the dormitory entrance.

Under the streetlight, Su Wanwan was already waiting.

To be honest, she had just impulsively suggested that Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai should live separately after a fit of anger yesterday.

Given Weiyi’s personality and her unchanging adoration for Xiao Yebai over the past ten years, she assumed this time would be like every other time; they would quarrel for two or three days, and then Weiyi would continue to actively appease that man.

Every time, it was her at the brink of despair, and also her who actively capitulated and sought to appease him.

Who would have believed that Weiyi was actually moving into the dormitory?

When she received Weiyi’s call earlier, Su Wanwan was genuinely taken aback.

And upon seeing the six suitcases in the back of the car when the rear door opened, Su Wanwan was utterly stunned.

True to her status as a noble little princess, even living in a dormitory required this much luggage.

Upon seeing the small tortoise Mo Weiyi was carrying…

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically, “My dear princess, did you come here on vacation?”

Mo Weiyi complained, “Why can’t we keep dogs in the dormitory?”

Su Wanwan gave a fake smile, “Are you planning to open a zoo in the dormitory?”

With Uncle Liu carrying the suitcases, they both entered the girls’ dormitory, Weiyi didn’t forget to instruct, “Wanwan, come sleep with me tonight, I’m afraid of sleeping alone.”

Su Wanwan felt helpless, “If you’re afraid of sleeping alone, why did you move here?”

Weiyi replied, “If I go back to the old house, he will definitely come looking for me.”

Then we’d do that.

Even though Xiao Yebai appeared cultured and aloof, as if he were above worldly desires, he was after all a young man with normal desires, and he had quite a need in that regard.

They had been married for two years and had their share of experiences, so he knew her better than she knew herself.

Though it used to be pleasurable in the past and she enjoyed it, she only felt that she was vulnerable now. She had planned to give him the cold shoulder, but she had been easily…

Given her current state of mind, she really had no desire to maintain a cold facade in public while being passionate in private with him.

After much thought, moving to the dormitory was the best choice, and it would also give both of them an opportunity to cool down.

…

Mo Weiyi’s dormitory was right next to Su Wanwan’s, though nobody had lived there before.

Once Uncle Liu had moved all the luggage and tidied up a bit, he drove away.

After Weiyi and Wanwan had dinner at the cafeteria, they returned to the dormitory entrance where Chen Jin was already waiting.

“Miss Mo.” Chen Jin greeted, carrying a bag and dressed in a white down jacket. After greeting her, he nodded at Su Wanwan.

“Wanwan, I’m going to study now, come find me later, okay?”

“Alright.”

Chen Jin followed Mo Weiyi into the dormitory, took one look at the six suitcases that hadn’t been unpacked yet, and frowned, “Miss Mo, are you…”

Mo Weiyi smiled, “I will be staying here until the exams are over. Mr. Chen, you will come here for my tutoring from now on.”

“Oh.” Chen Jin couldn’t help but ask, “Does Mr. Xiao agree?”

Mo Weiyi’s smile didn’t fade, “Even if he doesn’t agree, he will have to.”

Chen Jin could only nod his head.

It seems that… they have decided to live apart?

Lishui Bay Villa.

In the dining room, after finishing his dinner, Xiao Yebai returned to the living room, picked up a book, and settled down on the sofa.

Aunt Zhou, with a cloth in her hand, wiped the table, and then moved on to wipe the coffee table.

After a while.

“Auntie Zhou.” Xiao Yebai’s calm voice echoed, “You have wiped this tea table three times already.”

Auntie Zhou stood up, looking at the man who was still engrossed in reading, she finally couldn’t help but say, “Master Xiao, no offence, our princess has moved to the dormitory at school, are you not worried at all?”

You came back and didn’t ask, even after dinner, you are still here reading books?

Xiao Yebai didn’t even look up, he turned a page with his slender finger, his tone was very calm, “She will come back tomorrow night, she dares not sleep alone.”

“…” Auntie Zhou’s mouth twitched spasmodically.

She will come back tomorrow night?

My young master, where exactly did you get this confidence from?

“It’s great that she wants to dedicate time to her studies.” Xiao Yebai added another sentence.

Auntie Zhou again: “…”

Finally, Xiao Yebai raised his eyelids, “Do you want to wipe it for the fourth time?”

Auntie Zhou rubbed the cloth, and left reluctantly.

Nine o’clock at night.

Just finishing class, Mo Weiyi immediately picked up her phone.

When she found no text messages or phone calls, Mo Weiyi fiercely bit her lip.

Although it was expected, her heart still sank in an instant.

“Miss Mo, I’ll go first.”

“I’ll walk you out.” Mo Weiyi regained her composure, stood up and put on her coat.

Chen Jin packed up his things and followed Mo Weiyi out of the dorm.

At the door, Uncle Liu was already standing there waiting.

“Princess.”

Mo Weiyi looked at him, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but stopped.

Uncle Liu hurriedly asked, “Princess, is there something you want to ask me?”

Mo Weiyi blinked her clear cat eyes, opened her mouth, “…No.”

Uncle Liu: “…”

After Uncle Liu left with Chen Jin, Mo Weiyi stood there, her mouth pouted in anger.

…

When Su Wanwan came back from her study session, she went to Mo Weiyi’s dorm after cleaning up.

Lying in bed, the two of them started their bedtime talk.

While it was called a bedtime talk, in fact, it was mainly Mo Weiyi who was talking.

“Wanwan, when do you think he’ll come and find me?”

“Not a single message until now.”

“Do you think he’s still entertaining guests outside?”

“Anyway, I won’t be the first to send him a message this time!”

“Wanwan? Wanwan?”

When she turned to look, Su Wanwan had her eyes closed and was already asleep.

Mo Weiyi sighed, turned off the lights and prepared to sleep.

Except…

With something on her mind, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She couldn’t help but pick up her phone and open WeChat again.

“Kiss Xiaobai”‘s avatar quietly lay at the top of the WeChat call list.

As if possessed, Mo Weiyi opened the profile picture, then started scrolling through past chat records.

Scrolling through one after another, she found…

It was always her talking, all sorts of emojis, voice recordings, texts; she always sent multiple messages at a time, the messages were long and dense…

Xiao Yebai’s replies were always very short, generally one or two words, without any emojis or punctuation.

Mo Weiyi bit her lip, the light reflected from the screen made her face turn pale repeatedly.

Then, she suddenly turned off the screen, stuffed her phone under the pillow, and closed her eyes tightly.

Lishui Bay Villa.

Late at night.

In the bedroom upstairs, Xiao Yebai leaned against the bed reading a book.

Apart from the occasional sound of turning pages, the entire room was unusually quiet.

Until his phone suddenly rang.

Skeletal long fingers immediately picked up the phone next to him.

Seeing the name on the screen, his eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, he slid to answer the call, “Hello.”

“Damn, rare event, you’re answering my call at this hour?” The person on the other line was surprised, “What’s up? Doesn’t your princess usually sleep at 10? It’s twelve now, you’re not…”

“If you know it’s twelve, why are you still calling?” Xiao Yebai’s tone was very cold, no different from usual.

However, the caller sensed something was off, “Yeah, why would you pick up the phone at twelve? Something’s off!”
