372. Chapter 372 Twenty Dollars 13

I don't want to prepare anything; we'll talk about later matters later.

After I finished showering, Liu Xi still hadn't left; he was holding my phone, talking to someone on it. When he saw me approach, he immediately hung up.

"What are you doing, being so sneaky?" I said, looking at him.

"No, are you hungry? Want me to go out and buy you something to eat?" Liu Xi said, concerned.

Given Liu Xi's concern for me, I'm sure he was just on the phone with Shangguan Yun.

"Then get me something to drink, I'm thirsty." I said, lying in bed.

"Then let's get some immortal grass honey. A Yun said your throat is inflamed. Immortal grass honey reduces heat." Liu Xi said, still concerned.

I knew he had just been chatting with Shangguan Yun; I don't know what mischief Shangguan Yun was up to, but it made Liu Xi concerned about me and also angered me, so he must have done something wrong to me, which is why he acted like that.

"Whatever. Go quick and come back quick—I'm exhausted. Don't wait for me to return, because I'll already be asleep." I said, continuing to fuss with my blanket.

"Alright, I'm leaving." As Liu Xi was about to leave, I called him back and said, "Do you have any money? I'll give you some so you don't come up short on your date with Lin Chen." Then I grabbed the pants I had just taken off and threw the twenty dollars Shangguan Yun gave me at him.

Liu Xi grabbed the money and left, and as soon as I lay down on the bed I fell asleep, not bothering about when he'd return; he would definitely call me when he came back.

But when I woke up, it was already morning, and Liu Xi hadn't called me—really, but that's fine; I hate it most when people wake me while I'm sleeping.

When I got up, Liu Xi was already gone—he had gone to school.

I lazed around at home, doing nothing, so out of boredom I went online to watch TV—being idle is being idle anyway, and I didn't feel like going to school, lacking motivation. I never liked studying to begin with. Now I'm taking sick leave to slack off at home for a few days, which is exactly what I wanted.

At noon, I received a call from Huiqing; as soon as I answered, she said, "You and Shangguan Yun had an argument?"

"How do you know?" That's uncanny—I didn't tell her, so how could she know? Is it really some kind of telepathic connection?
