7 Patting Lu Shiyuan at Midnight? To Get His Attention on Purpose

Su Xianyi clenched her phone tightly and responded in a low voice.

However, there was no movement from the other end. In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of the door opening next door, and then…

Her doorbell rang.

On the other end of the phone, it was still a familiar voice.

"I'm at your door."

..

The kitten, who was originally lying on Su Xianyi's lap, jumped down and stretched comfortably. Su Xianyi quickly ran to the bathroom and tidied her hair in front of the mirror.

It's, it's okay. I can see people.

When she opened the door, Lu Shiyuan was standing at the door.

Unlike what he wore during the day, he was dressed in a simple black leisure outfit, which made him look lean. Compared to his elegant and abstinent appearance during the day, he looked even more languid at this time.

"My cat came to you?" He lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"Yes."

Su Xianyi had many thoughts in her heart. Should she invite him in? After all, this was a rare opportunity. However, it was already late at night. It didn't seem appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone.

In just a short moment, her mind spun rapidly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

It was only when she heard a cat's meow that she regained her rationality.

The kitten heard its owner's voice and walked past Su Xianyi's feet to Lu Shiyuan's legs.

He bent down and scooped the cat into his arms with one hand. He looked at Su Xianyi and said, "Thank you for taking care of it. I was busy looking at things and just noticed the message from the owners' group. It must have caused you trouble."

"No, I really like cats." Su Xianyi was always at a loss when facing him.

Looking at the kitten rubbing against his chest, her heart suddenly felt jealous...

This cat was so lucky to be able to roll around in his arms.

"How old is this cat?" Su Xianyi asked softly.

"More than three months."

"What is it called?"

"Little Gutsy. When I picked it up, it was very timid." Lu Shiyuan said with a special accent. It was indescribably pleasant to the ear.

"The name is quite special and cute, but it's too dangerous to jump out of the window."

Su Xianyi just didn't realize the cat was found by Lu Shiyuan.

"I just brought it back two days ago. I originally hired someone to seal the window tomorrow. It's usually timid and doesn't even go to the window. I didn't expect it to jump out the window when I wasn't paying attention."

"Looks like you're quite bold." Su Xianyi laughed. It was actually called Little Gutsy.

Lu Shiyuan reached out to stroke the cat's fur. "It's too late, I won't disturb you. Thank you."

After saying goodbye, Su Xianyi closed the door and returned to the house. She sat down on the sofa in frustration.

Actually, she didn't have anything to do, so he didn't disturb her.

**

After washing up and lying on the bed, Su Xianyi held her phone and stared at Lu Shiyuan's phone number for a long time. She carefully saved it.

Before she went to bed, she opened WeChat and realized that the system had automatically recommended Lu Shiyuan as a friend according to the address book.

Su Xianyi bit her lip. Should she add him?

Would it be too sudden? What if he didn't agree?

After a long time of mental preparation, she still clicked on the add button hesitantly. After sending the friend verification request, her heart was beating very fast. She waited for a long time, but there was no response.

Did he not want to add her as a friend, or was he already asleep?

As time passed, Su Xianyi's heart went from full of anticipation to calm. She sighed and was about to put away her phone to sleep when she suddenly found an unfamiliar chat line on WeChat.

He had accepted her friend request!

She opened the chat page and saw a system notification on Lu Shiyuan's side:

[I've accepted your friend verification request. We can start chatting now.]

Su Xianyi sat up from the bed, her heart thumping harder and harder, almost jumping out of her throat as she looked at the dialog box.

She felt like she was on the verge of death, and she was so excited that she wanted to scream!

Back then, she didn't even get a phone number. Now, she actually added him as a friend on WeChat?

Su Xianyi became nervous and even cleared her throat for no reason, wondering if she should say something.

Send an emoji? Or say hello?

As she was hesitating, time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already past midnight…

Was it too late to chat with him now? If he asked her why she added him, what should she say?

There were too many concerns. Su Xianyi sighed and was still a little scared.

However, if she added him as a friend, she would be able to see his Moments.

Lu Shiyuan's profile picture was Little Gutsy. Its entire body was snow-white and it looked like a baby.

Su Xianyi nodded. She never thought that she would one day see his Moments.

She was inexplicably excited and nervous…

She clicked on it once, but there was no response. She didn't know if it was because the phone's touch screen didn't sense it or for some other reason, so she subconsciously clicked twice more.

Something strange happened.

She didn't click into his Moments, but her phone vibrated and a dialog box appeared:

[I patted 'Lu Shiyuan']

Su Xianyi was completely dumbfounded!

It was already past midnight.

Who am I? What have I done?

It was the middle of the night, Lu Shiyuan wouldn't think that she was deliberately flirting at midnight, right?

No, calm down!

It seemed that the patting function in WeChat could be recalled. Su Xianyi took a deep breath and was about to recall it when her phone vibrated again.

Lu Shiyuan, [?]

Su Xianyi gritted her teeth. He was still awake?

If she retracted it now, it would only be even more awkward. She couldn't possibly say that she wanted to peek at his Moments, right? She pursed her lips. [It's so late. Why aren't you resting?]

She added a cute emoji.

Lu Shiyuan, [I have some things to read.]

Su Xianyi, [It's so late and you're still looking at things. It's really hard being a doctor.]

[I'm fine. What's the matter?]

[It's nothing. You should rest. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodnight.]

Su Xianyi stared at the screen. Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan did not reply, so she heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking back at their chat history, she felt like a moron. No matter how she looked at it, this conversation seemed to be deliberately trying to attract his attention. It was too awkward. It shouldn't be like this.

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan looked at the chat log and suddenly curled the corners of his lips.

What did she mean by that?

In the middle of the night, after this young lady patted him, she said that she was fine. Was it intentional?

He glanced at Little Gutsy, who was sleeping soundly and felt a little helpless. It was usually very timid, so why did it dare to climb over the window to the next room today? It might as well change its name to Big Gutsy.

..

Su Xianyi lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, feeling stupid.

She had almost been caught in the elevator previously, and now she had done such a stupid thing. At this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that Lu Shiyuan had sent a WeChat message.

She clicked on it and realized that it was another voice message.

Su Xianyi bit her lip and held her breath. She opened it nervously and carefully pressed it against her ear…

"Thank you for today. You should rest early too. Good night --"

His words were very short, and his voice was low and deep. The last syllable was dragged out a little, and when it fell by her ear, it actually produced a lingering feeling and some heat.

Su Xianyi wrapped herself in the blanket and felt that even breathing was hot.

After listening to it carefully a few times, she laughed foolishly and clicked on the Favorites button.

For so many years, she felt that she was probably having a first crush on him. Only now did she realize…

Her love for him had never changed.

In fact, she liked him even more.
