My ex-girlfriend's best friends are getting restless right after the breakup.

Chapter 48 The First Night of Establishing a Relationship

That question effectively puts the ball back in the court.

Chen Bo raised an eyebrow: "What if I say I don't want to?"

Bei Weiwei's eyes dimmed, but she quickly mustered her spirits and said, "Then I really will just sit for a while and then leave. I'll leave again after you've fallen asleep..."

"Alright," Chen Bo interrupted her, stood up, stretched, and said, "You've slept here before, I'm sleepy, I'm going upstairs."

After he finished speaking, he really turned around and went upstairs, his steps unhurried.

Bei Weiwei sat on the sofa, watching his figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, feeling a little dazed.

That's... that's it?

No goodnight kiss, no hug, not even a few extra words?

She felt a little disappointed, but then she thought: at least he agreed to let me stay!

That's progress, right?

Bei Weiwei encouraged herself and got up to go upstairs.

She didn't go to the guest room, but tiptoed to Chen Bo's bedroom door.

The door was closed.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Chen Bo's voice from inside.

Bei Weiwei pushed open the door and went in.

Chen Bo had changed into his pajamas and was leaning against the headboard looking at his phone.

Only a small bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, casting a warm and soft light.

"Um..." Bei Weiwei stood at the door, a little flustered, "I...I wanted to ask, what would you like to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I'll make it for you."

Chen Bo looked up at her: "What can you do?"

"Fried eggs, toast, hot milk... and I've learned how to make coffee, hand-drip," Bei Weiwei listed earnestly. "Or would you like a Chinese breakfast? I can try making porridge, although it's not as good as Yueqing's..."

"Plain porridge is fine," Chen Bo said, "with a fried egg."

"Great!" Bei Weiwei's eyes lit up. "Then I'll get up at seven tomorrow morning to do it? What time do you usually get up?"

"Eight o'clock."

"Then I'll make it at 7:30, so you can eat something hot when you get up."

Chen Bo looked at her seriously planning her breakfast and found it a little funny: "Whatever."

Bei Weiwei smiled, a smile so sweet it could melt honey: "Then... goodnight?"

"Good night."

Bei Weiwei turned to leave, but turned back at the door: "Chen Bo."

"Um?"

"I'm so happy today." After saying that, she quickly closed the door and ran away.

Chen Bo listened to the receding footsteps outside the door, shook his head, and continued looking at his phone.

My WeChat is overflowing with messages.

The assistant director of the "Singer Battle" program sent me the recording schedule for the next episode.

Lin Wei also sent a message, her tone much more polite than before, asking if he wanted to consider signing a short-term agency contract, and that she could help connect him with some business opportunities.

Chen Bo replied to each one, agreeing to those he should and politely declining those he should.

After finishing his business, he opened Zhou Lingyan's chat window.

Her last message was sent after she arrived: "Arrived. It's raining in Jiangcheng, so annoying."

Chen Bo typed: "Smoothly?"

The message was sent out but disappeared without a trace; they're probably busy.

He scrolled through his contacts again. Xu Yueqing hadn't sent any messages, but she had updated her WeChat Moments with a photo of a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, captioned: "First time making it, tastes alright."

The porridge in the photo looks really good; the rice grains are blooming, the preserved egg and lean meat are evenly distributed, and the chopped green onions are sprinkled just right.

Chen Bo gave her a thumbs up.

Just after I placed the order, Xu Yueqing's message popped up: "You saw it? I'll make it for you when I get back."

Chen Bo replied, "No need, Weiwei will cover it."

There was a full three minutes of silence on the other end.

Xu Yueqing: "Does she live with you?"

Chen Bo: "Mm."

Xu Yueqing did not reply.

Chen Bo turned off his phone and lay down to go to sleep.

Ten minutes later, the bedroom door was gently pushed open a crack.

Chen Bo didn't open his eyes, but his hearing was exceptionally sharp in the quiet environment.

The person at the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, then tiptoed in, their footsteps very light, like a kitten sneaking in.

Chen Bo continued to pretend to be asleep.

The man walked to the bedside and stood there for a while.

Chen Boneng could feel her gaze on his face, warm and heavy.

A few seconds later, she bent down and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

Instantly separate.

Then she seemed satisfied and turned to leave.

"Bei Weiwei." Chen Bo opened his eyes.

"Ah!" Bei Weiwei was so startled she almost jumped up, turning around in a flustered manner. "You, you're not asleep?"

"I almost fell asleep." Chen Bo sat up, looking at her. "What are you doing in here?"

'I...I...' Bei Weiwei's face flushed red. 'I just wanted to see if you were sleeping well...'

"Does watching me sleep require kissing me?" Chen Bo thought this girl was really bold.

Bei Weiwei lowered her head, twisting the hem of her nightgown with her fingers, her voice barely audible: "I...I just wanted to kiss you...Isn't a goodnight kiss normal for boyfriends and girlfriends...?"

She spoke with such conviction, if one ignored her bright red ears.

Looking at her "I did something wrong but I won't admit it" expression, Chen Bo suddenly found her kind of cute.

"Come here," he said.

Bei Weiwei looked up, her eyes brightening, but then hesitated, "What?"

"Didn't you want a goodnight kiss?" Chen Bo asked casually. "Come here, I'll give you a serious one."

Bei Weiwei's heart raced instantly. She slowly moved to the bedside, stood in front of him, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled nervously.

Chen Bo almost burst out laughing when he saw her "ready to die" expression.

He reached out, pinched her chin, pulled her closer, and then kissed her.

It's not the forehead, it's the lips.

Bei Weiwei's body stiffened, then went limp.

She responded awkwardly, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck.

The kiss was short, but enough to make Bevyvi dizzy.

When Chen Bo released her, her eyes were still closed, her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was slightly erratic.

"Alright." Chen Bo patted her face. "Go back to sleep."

Bei Weiwei opened her eyes, looking at him with a dazed expression, as if she hadn't yet recovered from that kiss.

"Want more?" Chen Bo asked.

Bei Weiwei immediately shook her head and took a step back: "No, no... Goodnight!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away, but a muffled "bang" was heard, which was particularly clear in the quiet bedroom.

Bei Weiwei slammed into the door.

Chen Bo watched her squat down, covering her forehead, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"Where did you bump into? Let me see." He threw back the covers, got out of bed, and walked to the door.

Bei Weiwei squatted on the ground, her fingers covering her forehead, her ear tips so red they looked like they could bleed, her slender shoulders trembling, whether from pain or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

"I'm fine..." her voice was muffled, tinged with a sob, "I'm just... just too nervous..."

Chen Bo bent down and pulled her up: "Let go, let me see."

Bei Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered her hand.

There was indeed a red mark on his forehead, which stood out against his fair skin. Fortunately, the skin wasn't broken, but the impact was quite severe.

"Are you stupid?" Chen Bo was speechless. "Why are you running? I'm not going to eat you."

"It hurts..." Bei Weiwei looked at him with a pitiful expression, her eyes watery, like a frightened little deer.
