When they stopped at the traffic lights, Yu Zhan reached out to find a U-shaped pillow from the back seats. He then cautiously pushed her head forward a little to put the pillow behind her head.

Liu Man frowned slightly. Yu Zhan thought he disturbed her and instantly pulled his hands back, but she only mumbled softly, and the rate of her breaths became normal again.

Yu Zhan sighed in relief. His eyes couldn’t resist but slowly moved onto her face as he examined her long eyelashes, closed eyes, pretty nose, and lightly pursed lips. He would never dare to look at her like that when she was awake.

He could even imagine her, with her angry eyes widened and her face blushing, scolding him for being a lecher.

Liu Man’s sleeping posture was as flawless as her conscious postures as if she got trained to be so disciplinary.

The traffic light turned green, and Yu Zhan stopped examining Liu Man to pay all his attention to driving. He wanted the ride to be as smooth as possible so Liu Man could sleep well without feeling any bumps.

Liu Man had a good nap. She even had a dream, and there was nothing as bad as the conflict with Wang Nina in her dream. Liu Man dreamed of her, Little Zhao, Madam Xu, and Beauty Yu having a buffet together. Madam Xu loved eating ice-creams, so she had several boxes of Haagen-Dazs. Little Zhao loved having crayfish, and there were piles of crayfish shells in front of her. Beauty Yu only had vegetarian food because she wanted to keep her body in shape.

“Madam Xu, you can’t have any more ice-cream. It’s bad for your digesting system if you have too much of something that cold. Have some soup.”

“Aunt, you also should stop eating your crayfish. There are toxins in crayfish, and your stomach will hurt due to all this internal heat.”

“Beauty Yu, you’re already very in shape. Your waist is so skinny it’s almost gone! It’s better for you, as a woman, to be a little fatter. Have some meat, okay?”

Yu Zhan could vaguely hear Liu Man’s somniloquy. Her mumbling was very soft, but he could still make out a few names.

Madam Xu?

Aunt?

Beauty Yu?

He laughed speechlessly. Was she having a dream of transmigrating to ancient china?

Just as Liu Man was having a good meal with the three women, someone patted her shoulder.

“Man Man, we’re home. You can continue sleeping once we get upstairs.”

The man’s voice sounded so good and gentle. It also sounded familiar.

Hey, isn’t this Yu Zhan’s voice?

Yu Zhan’s here to have a buffet, too?

“Zhan, what do you want to eat? I’ll help you get some,” the girl, still dreaming, asked sincerely.

Yu Zhan was confused and had no response to this question.

He looked again and realized the girl’s eyes were still closed, and she was still dreaming. He couldn’t help but laugh, and his heart melted even more. He continued to gently pat on her shoulder, “We can have some more delicious food next time.”

Liu Man finally woke up from the pats. When she opened her eyes, she was very perplexed and did not know where she was. After rubbing her eyes a bit more, she became more conscious and recalled how she left the school riding Yu Zhan’s car.

She glanced around her. They were in that underground parking lot that was so luxurious it got stuck in her head.

“We’re already at your parking lot! So fast.”

Liu Man had a nap and felt the time had passed quicker.

“There weren’t many cars on the road during nights, so there was no traffic, and we drove faster.” Another reason why they were back so quickly was that Yu Zhan wanted Liu Man to get a good rest.

He opened the door, got to the trunk, and took out Liu Man’s bag.

Liu Man also got down.

“What’s in your bag? It’s so heavy,” Yu Zhan weighed it, and it was very heavy.

“Some clothes I put at the dorm in the past and my belongings.”

“You’re not going to live at school from now on?”

Liu Man nodded, “I can’t,” She sighed and took the initiative to talk to Yu Zhan about Wang Nina, “I have two roommates in total. Starting from tonight, the friendship between me and my other roommate is completely over.”

Yu Zhan knew Liu Man’s personality. When she said “completely over,” she meant she would never contact this roommate ever again in her life.

“What did she do to disappoint you this much?”

Yes. Yu Zhan realized when Liu Man mentioned this roommate of hers, there was no anger in her tone but disappointment only. He thought she treated this girl as one of her best friends before.

“She overthinks too much, and Xiaoru and I have no way to continue being friends with her peacefully,” Liu Man said, “She doesn’t like how I became a cyber star with the identity of Hanfu Goddess, and she also dislikes the fact I went to Shanghai to participate in a movie shooting. Whatever I do right now, she will always misunderstand me.”

“It’s fortunate you unfriended her. A real friend would want their friend to have a great future,” Yu Zhan felt a bit worried, “Try staying away from her if you can.”

“I know. Since I won’t be living at school anymore, I will only be seeing her in classes. There are many students, and all I will have to do is to stop talking to her.”

“Did you stay at school so late tonight because you had to rehearse a piece?”

“Mhm. We still have to rehearse tomorrow night.”

“You’re staying at school until such a late time. I will pick you up tomorrow, too,” Yu Zhan sounded serious when he spoke, and he added on, “Even if you decline me, I will still come!”

How could Liu Man reject him after he said all that?

Liu Man felt no longer unfamiliar on her second visit to Yu Zhan’s house. Even when Paul jumped over like last time as soon as the elevator’s doors opened, she remained at the same spot. She smiled as she watched Paul bearhug Yu Zhan and lick his face.

Yu Zhan spent a few more minutes to shake him off.

Liu Man petted Paul’s head, and Paul obediently pressed against her palm. With his tongue out, he cutely huffed out hot breaths and licked her hand.

She suddenly felt worried, “What reaction will Paul have when he meets Moonlight? Will he dislike Moonlight for stealing Daylight from him?”

Paul had such a good relationship with Daylight.

Yu Zhan laughed, “You are overthinking it because Paul isn’t as stingy as you think he is. He’s a generous and warm-hearted dog so he will like Moonlight, too. Even if he’s a bit envious, I can get him a wife in the future.”

Liu Man burst into a laugh,

“Yeah. Daylight and Moonlight have already become a couple, and Paul should stop being so lonely, too.”

Liu Man played with the dog some more before Yu Zhan stopped her, “You still have to go to school tomorrow, so stop teasing him. Go take a shower and have some rest.”

Yu Zhan didn’t want to waste any of Liu Man’s precious resting time. He took Liu Man’s bag to the guest room and said to her, “You can use these clothes and belongings in the bag today. Due to convenience, you can leave your bag and luggage at my house for now. You can’t bring all these things back to school tomorrow because you’ve just brought them back, right? The closet in this room will always be empty, and the space is large. It’s enough to store all your things.”

Liu Man felt Yu Zhan was being logical, but she still thought something was weird.

She was only temporarily storing them here. There would be no issues if she brought them home some other time.

Liu Man thought.

As a result, she never had “some other time” to bring them home. To be more accurate, Yu Zhan never gave her the chance to bring them home.

Which was why, later on, Yu Zhan’s house had her underclothes, pajama, towel, lotion, and cosmetics…

She could come to live here at any time with just a bag, and there would be no inconvenience or discomforts.

It was as if she had become a member of his family.
