\'Damn…\'
Pan An winced when he felt his head aching. The moment he slowly opened his eyes, he sighed as he noticed that his body clock did not fail him, his digital clock showing that he has woken up at 6:30 in the morning.
When he heard the sizzling of whatever it is being cooked in the kitchen, he slowly stood up, running his hand through his hair.
\'I was with Wang Lei last night, talking about whatever he is talking about that I didn\'t like. How am I home? Did I get drunk instead?\'
With that in thought, Pan An then walked out of his room, immediately greeted by excited Wan Wan. He gave the dog a small smile and a pat on the head, already walking towards the kitchen.
However, what he saw in the kitchen was something that surprised him, the man, smiling at him with a cup of coffee at hand.
"Yo. Good morning. You\'re lucky that someone is making you great breakfast," Wang Lei said, Pan An, arching a brow at him.
"You didn\'t go home?"
"Obviously," Wang Lei said, letting out a small scoff. "I\'m here, aren\'t I?"
With that said, Wang Lei rolled his eyes at him, already being greeted by Shu Xian who is making omurice.
"Good morning," Shu Xian said, already giving him black coffee. "I learned from Wang Lei you prefer black coffee in the morning if you have hangover. Here."
"Thanks."
The moment Shu Xian served them their omurice, she proceeded to make her share, already cracking two eggs as Wan Wan expectantly waited for her food.
"Anyway, you slept where?" Pan An asked, sipping his coffee.
"On the couch, in the living room. You don\'t have to worry. I borrowed your clothes, too. You were out cold when I asked for permission, so I just took it as a yes."
With Pan An smiling at what his best friend had said, he couldn\'t help but shake his head, taking another sip of his black coffee which worked wonders on him like it was remedy given by a party member in a game.
"Anyway," Shu Xian started talking, her body not turning as she talked to the professor. "Can you please prepare our lunch? I already cooked rice and the meat. I made meatballs for lunch."
"Oh, yeah… sure."
With Pan An doing as he was told, he suddenly was pulled in his thoughts, thinking of what had happened last night.
\'Umm… nothing out of the ordinary like the one before happened, right?\'
Pan An looked at Shu Xian discreetly from the corner of his eyes.
The moment he saw her humming to herself as she continued cooking her breakfast, a sigh of relief came from him, already thinking that maybe nothing had happened between them last night that is so awkward.
"Aren\'t you grateful that you were out could?" Wang Lei spoke, getting Pan An\'s attention. "You have nothing to worry about—Shu Xian is completely safe."
With what he said making things awkward, Shu Xian\'s body stiffened as Pan An glared at him, Wang Lei, letting out a playful chuckle.
"Sorry, sorry… I can\'t help it," he reacted, already taking a sip of his caramel coffee.
Not saying another word, he got his phone from his pocket and proceeded to stand up, in order for him to call his secretary and talk to him in picking him up so he could drop him off to the company.
Also, Wang Lei is reminded to give Mr. Ying a raise for a hard work well done. With that in thought, the call finally connected, further stating to the man what he wanted him to do along with the upcoming raise that he will get starting this month\'s salary.
With Pan An and Shu Xian now left in the kitchen, Shu Xian is now finished cooking her breakfast, already sitting down to eat as Pan An finished preparing their lunch.
"Thanks so much for preparing lunch," he said, giving Shu Xian a small smile. "You must\'ve woken up early to prepare?"
"Yeah, uh… 6 AM," Shu Xian said with a nod, taking a small piece of egg in her mouth. "But I had a nice sleep. It was not something that I feel bad about since I do love cooking," she added, Pan An, nodding.
"And Wan Wan? Has she eaten?"
With Wan Wan barking as if answering his question, Shu Xian rolled her eyes, shaking her head at the same time.
"Yes. If she\'s acting cute while we\'re eating, you can give her small pieces of food, but not many. She\'s such a glutton."
Pan An couldn\'t help but laugh, Shu Xian, laughing as well. As Wang Lei is now finished talking with his secretary, he shook his head, already leaning on the doorframe as he made a comment that made both of them blush.
"Aaah… how cute it is to look at you both. Like a married couple. Both of you suit each other!"
With that said, Wang Lei couldn\'t help but laugh out loud, already getting his necktie that was on the table, already bidding the two farewell.
"Alright. Good bye, you two," Wang Lei said goodbye, the two\'s eyes on him.
The moment Wang Lei\'s eyes dropped on Shu Xian, he grinned at her and gave her a wink, Shu Xian immediately getting what he meant by that gesture.
Since they talked about something that only both of them knew last night.
"Remember what I told you about last night, yeah?" Wang Lei reminded, grinning ear to ear. "It\'s guaranteed to have high results!"
As Wang Lei left the house, Pan An cocked his head to the side, wondering what both of them were talking about as this made Shu Xian blush beet red.
