Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! Chapter 50 - Treat

Chapter 50 Treat

Yun Lian was stunned by what Yun Xi said.

She did not expect Yun Xi to suddenly interrupt.

“That won’t do!”

“Why not? Didn’t you always want Zhou Mo to stay in the room? Why don’t you agree now?”

Yun Xi pretended to be surprised as she looked at Yun Lian.

“No! I just don’t want brother Mo to sleep on the sofa.”

Yun Lian explained.

“Is there a difference? However, I’m very curious. Since you don’t want Zhou Mo to sleep on the sofa, why don’t you sleep on the sofa yourself?” Yun Xi seemed to be doing it on purpose, and her tone was very relaxed.

Yun Lian did not know how to answer her.

“Well… Well…”

Yun Lian didn’t know how to refute her because the question was indeed crucial.

“I don’t want Brother Mo to sleep on the sofa either. After all, the sofa here is very small and very hard. It’s not comfortable to sleep on. That said, I’m a girl. I can’t sleep on the sofa.” Yun Lian finally found a reason, even though the reason was very far-fetched.

Yun Xi nodded and said, “I see. You don’t want to sleep on the sofa!”

Yun Lian did not say anything, but what Yun Xi said had expressed her innermost thoughts.

Yun Xi looked at Yun Lian’s expression and laughed internally.

‘Trying to fight with me? You’re still too inexperienced. How can you be a match for me with such little skills?’

Yun Xi did not expose Yun Lian and continued, “The Zhou family’s sofa is very soft. It’s definitely softer than the brick bed in our village. What can’t you sleep on it?”

She paused and continued, “Do you want me to sleep on the sofa instead? Do you want Zhou Lin and me to make a room for each of you and Zhou Mo?” “No, that’s not it.”

Initially, Yun Lian just wanted to pretend to be a good person and show off her good side in front of the Zhou family’s men. She did not expect that the more she tried, the worse the situation became. It was impossible for her to resolve the situation.

Yun Lian was a little embarra.s.sed. She did not know what to say next and could only remain silent.

At this moment, Zhou Mo walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked at Yun Lian and Yun Xi and said, “When are you two going to stop chattering? If I say I’m sleeping on the sofa, I’m sleeping on the sofa. You two should rest early.”

This farce was finally over. The two women shut up.

Yun Lian walked back to her room in disappointment.

Yun Xi shook her head helplessly and went back to the room as well.

As soon as Yun Xi entered the room, she closed the door from the outside.

Yun Xi threw herself on the bed and rubbed her forehead.

She was exhausted tonight. Although she did not want to admit it, she was tired after all the trouble today.

Yun Xi had not slept well because the first family had been causing trouble for the past few days. When she picked up the pleasant smell from Zhou Lin’s bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

It was a dreamless night.

The next morning, when the sun shone into the room, Yun Xi woke up.

Last night, she had slept soundly, so she did not know that Zhou Lin had not fallen asleep after she fell asleep.

He had been thinking about Yun Xi’s att.i.tude toward him. Their relations.h.i.+p had always been facilitated by outsiders, but he had never spoken the truth to her.

Taking advantage of the fact that things were rather idle in the army these few days, he wondered if he should take this time to take Yun Xi out for a stroll and have some fun.

After having such a thought, Zhou Lin could not suppress it anymore. This made Zhou Lin a little nervous because he knew that Yun Xi did not understand him at all. Furthermore, they had not been together for long. If he were to rashly do this, would she have any misunderstandings toward him?

There were also Zhou Mo and Yun Lian. Zhou Lin figured that they would most likely become an obstacle between him and Yun Xi.

In any case, Zhou Lin could not bear the conflicted mentality, so he thought that once Yun Xi woke up, he would first talk to her about this matter. Perhaps she would agree to him.

Thus, he tiptoed to Yun Xi’s room and knocked on her door.

“Who’s there?”

Hearing Yun Xi’s shout, Zhou Lin pushed open the door of her room. Then, he saw Yun Xi wrapped in a towel, looking like she had just finished showering. This scene looked very s.e.xy and alluring, so Zhou Lin could not help but gulp.

“Um… Yun Xi, have you finished showering?” Zhou Lin pretended to be calm and asked with a calm face.

“Yes, I have. What’s the matter?” Yun Xi asked.

“I want to treat you to a meal. Is that okay?” Zhou Lin asked probingly. “A meal? The whole family is here. Are we the only ones going out to eat?”
