Chapter 9: The Disappearing Text Messages
Five minutes later, the alarm went off, and Weiwei skillfully turned off the sound
Upon my mentioning it, Weiwei immediately frowned, placed her hands on her hips, and stole a glance at my mother, quietly saying: "It was you who brought the phone into the room yesterday, resulting in several extra messages, which caused me to have a poor night's sleep"
"I knew you were obedient." Weiwei lightly touched my lips, making me feel a slight chill
Weiwei raised her head and yawned, appearing somewhat drowsy: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
Are you sure it's not because you're nervous? I made a joke naturally
I knew she would say that, so I took my salary card out of my wallet and handed it to her. Suddenly, this scene felt very familiar to me.
After having breakfast, Weiwei went to help her mother clear the dishes, and it was then that I remembered the text message without a number that was still saved on my phone
I looked at the bright red bedding and the bright red quilt; this is far more than just an overnight stay, it is completely in line with the rhythm of a newlywed life
You have been awake for quite some time, haven't you? I said, turning back to glance at the clock, which read exactly 7:25.
"I don't care, you have to compensate me," Weiwei said, looking up at me with a spoiled expression.
I took two steps back from the bookshelf and froze, as I could almost be certain that the force and manner in which I was pushed just now were something I had experienced before
It is time to get up. My mother's voice came from the doorway
But I have only been working for one year, and this is my first time receiving a year-end bonus. Why does this scene feel as if I have experienced it before
Watching Weiwei slowly walk back into the house, I tightly gripped my phone, contemplating repeatedly that it would be better not to tell Weiwei about the text message for now
At that moment, Weiwei walked over and looked down at my phone: "What are you looking at, so engrossed?"
I know that I will definitely fulfill my promise to you. I said firmly while supporting Weiwei's shoulder
Ding ding—
I stretched lazily, not expecting that a stunning beauty was sleeping beside me, and I could still sleep so soundly. I am simply in awe of myself.
A sudden sound of firecrackers interrupted me, and it was then that I remembered something, prompting me to hurriedly return to the house to grab my coat
No, I am not that petty. After saying this, I let Weiwei take my salary card.
Where has it gone
The familiar text message ringtone sounded, and I did not know who sent me a message so late. I thought it was a New Year greeting and decided to ignore it, planning to reply tomorrow.
The next day, I woke up in a daze. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw something in front of me.
Fearing to wake my parents and Weiwei, I did not turn on the light. Relying on my memory, I groped my way to the living room and saw the phone on the sofa flashing its notification light
The mobile phone screen displays a text message, but the number is not shown
I do not know what happened, but at that moment, as I looked at Weiwei, I unexpectedly felt a sense of encountering a madwoman.
If it weren't for her, where did the text message go
You should rest early; tomorrow you need to get up early to set off firecrackers, as this is a custom from our hometown. Mom simply smiled and reminded us before pushing Dad out.
Weiwei's face was redder than this large red quilt, as she walked over and deliberately pinched my arm, looking at me with a smile that was not quite a smile.
I stared at these four characters on the screen, and I recalled that afternoon when I left the company, the madwoman kept banging on the car window, and her mouth movements corresponded exactly to these four characters
I must have left my phone in the living room during dinner time. Without my phone by my side, I felt quite uneasy. I slowly lifted the blanket and walked out.
I, I was just reacting instinctively, you don't...'' Weiwei seemed to notice that I was stunned and thought I was angry, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and came over to embrace me
Weiwei initially did not react, letting out a hum. A few seconds later, she realized and immediately came over to pinch me, but fortunately, I managed to block her.
This is very likely; last night I slept soundly until dawn, completely unaware of what had happened.
It's nothing. I also can't quite understand where this feeling of déjà vu is coming from
At night, I lie here, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and can only lie like this. However, Weiwei's breathing is steady, so she must have fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing her like this, I intended to tease her a bit by pretending to snatch away the blanket covering her body, but unexpectedly, she pushed me away forcefully.
Weiwei opened my hand and then extended one hand, saying: "Wishing you prosperity, bring on the red envelope"
These four characters felt like a block of ice, pressed tightly against my back, making me feel as if I were in an ice cellar, scattering all the sleepwear I had painstakingly accumulated
I repeatedly looked at the few text messages I had in hand, but none of them were the one sent last night. Did that message just disappear into thin air?
Recently, Weiwei has been appearing in this manner, and I can no longer remember how many times it has been. I hurriedly put away my phone and turned around; due to the dim light in the room, I could only see the outline of a figure with disheveled hair
"No, there are a few blessing messages that I am about to reply to," I casually said, finding an excuse.
The thunderous sound of firecrackers followed closely, signifying the arrival of a new day and the New Year
I put away my phone and held her cheeks, asking: "How should I make it up to you?"
Weiwei's somewhat vacant gaze had also gained some form, as she suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned her upper body closer: "I just woke up not long ago, this is your home, and I felt embarrassed to go out, so I had to wait for you to wake up."
Weiwei is going to spend the night at my house, and she will be sleeping in the same bed as me, which has never happened before. Even my mother is extremely happy about it, but I feel quite numb.
I instinctively moved back a little, coming within the range of focus, and only then did I see that Weiwei was lying on her side looking at me
Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body. Looking at Weiwei, who was busy in the kitchen, I wondered if she had already seen that message and, feeling angry, deleted it.
As for why I made this decision, even I am not clear about it
Perhaps Weiwei is still a bit groggy, her voice sounding cold and distant, but I no longer care about that. The immediate impact of that crazy woman's presence just now was too overwhelming for me
Until I finished putting on my clothes, I turned around to see Weiwei still covering her chest with the blanket, looking quite shy
It is not true
That being said, Vivi has not seen my phone, but why are the text messages missing
"What are you doing?" Weiwei's voice suddenly came from behind.
What has been happening to me these past few days? It seems that something has occurred around me, and I feel that something is amiss, yet I cannot articulate it. This feeling is quite suffocating.
Such a beautiful woman leans into my embrace, yet I only dare to hold her waist, not daring to entertain any impure thoughts. However, the sensation of her chest brushing against me is quite tormenting, so I can only push her away slightly.
I acknowledged her with a "Got it, Mom." After that, I sat up and began to get dressed
"Are you going to regret this?" Weiwei seemed to have thought it over, and when she saw that I still wouldn't let go, she said.
But upon careful consideration, Vivi has not had the habit of checking my phone for all these years; she has an immense trust in me
