Chapter Thirty-Six Watching the Sunrise

  I'm sure there's nothing more blissful than a good sleep, a 'beauty sleep'!

  3 o'clock in the morning

  "Knock knock knock... Xiaoxia Ya, knock knock knock... Xiaoxia Ya." The door to the girl's room was lightly tapped.

  "Who is it?" Zi Qing, who was sleeping on the bed beside the door, asked drowsily and vaguely towards the outside of the door.

  "It's me, Luo Jun." Luo Jun paused for a moment, "I'm looking for Xiaoya, would you mind calling her over for me?"

  "Hey, what's going on? Not letting us sleep! Not letting us sleep! It's the middle of the night and we can't sleep! Aya---, ahh---Aya---, someone is looking for you! Someone is looking for you!" Zi Qing shouted twice at Liu Ya's bed, but saw that she didn't move. Then, lazily poking the sleeping Lu Xuan beside her, "Little Xuanxuan, go call Aya for me. There's a wolf at the door calling for her!"

  "Hmm-hmm! Don't disturb me! I'm sleeping!" Lu Xuan pulled the quilt and glared at Zhao Qing with some anger.

  "I also want to sleep..." Zi Qing muttered softly, thud! She fell back into her bed and completely forgot about the wolf at the door. Luo Jun waited at the door for a while, but there was no sound! So he stuck his ear against the door panel and listened carefully, still no sound!

  "Knock knock knock... Xiaoxia Ya, knock knock knock... Xiaoxia Ya." Luo Jun knocked on the door again.

  "Who is it?... Can't you let me sleep?!?" This time, Liu Fang was woken up and weakly threw a sentence towards the door: "Who are you looking for?"

  "I'm Luo Jun. I have something to discuss with Xiao Ya, can you help me call her?" Luo Jun explained again. This group of women, how can they be like Zhou Gong and make an appointment without taking care of anything!

  "Oh, wait a minute." Liu Fang responded with a voice, stretching out her hand to shake the sleeping Liu Ya beside her, "Ya'er, Ya'er, wake up, Luo Jun is looking for you and has something to say to you."

  "Hmmph!" Liu Ya shook her body in anger, shouting: "Sister, stop arguing! I want to sleep!" Then she pulled the quilt and continued to try to fall asleep.

  "It wasn't me who called you, it was Luo Jun." Liu Fang shook Liu Ya's body again, "Ya'er, Ya'er... just go take a look, he's been calling at the door for several times already, and everyone can't sleep well because of him! Ya'er, Ya'er..." Liu Fang looked at Liu Ya who was still fast asleep, shook her head in frustration, pulled up the quilt herself, and continued to try to fall asleep. Alas, that wolf-like guy at the door is so annoying!

  "Knock, knock, knock... Xiaoxia Ya, knock, knock, knock... Xiaoxia Ya." Luo Jun found himself being ignored again and got angry, using his fist to pound the door panel, with a loud noise of around 70 decibels.

  "Not yet awake! No! She's already dead! Can't be saved!" This time it was Liu Ya's voice, angrily shouting towards the door with 90 decibels of force, "If you have something to do, come back when the sun rises!"

  "Are you still asleep? Are you dead?! If you're still asleep, how can you talk?" Luo Jun couldn't help but laugh. "Hurry up and come out, I have something to tell you."

  "I'm busy!" Liu Ya covered her quilt tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch it away, "I want to sleep! I'm busy!"

  "Hmm, Aya, please, can you two lovebirds go outside to talk? We don't want to be driven crazy by you two..." Seagull finally couldn't help but plead pitifully.

  "Xiao Ya, Ah Ya, Xiao Ya, Ah Ya..."

  "Ah-!" Liu Ya let out a loud roar, unable to bear it any longer. With a "whoosh", she threw off the covers and jumped up, heading towards the door. As she walked, she didn't forget to scold Luo Jun: "This lecherous man who's almost falling apart! This shameless and unchaste man! This man who's been abandoned by everyone and has no one to turn to! This man who's been cut into a thousand pieces and won't let people sleep! What does he want to do?! If he doesn't explain himself clearly to me, I'll make him become the 'Royal Eunuch'!"

  "Princess, you're so mighty!" Zi Qing looked at Liu Ya who was jumping with rage and added fuel to the fire, "Absolutely cannot let him off lightly!"

  "Pffft! Someone's going to be unlucky!" Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

  Creak... The door opened.

  "Lu Jun, your mom is well! What do you want to do?!?" Liu Ya, wearing a long-sleeved pink silk pajama with loose hair and a reddened face from anger, shouted at Lu Jun as soon as she opened the door, "Don't you know that at this hour you should be sleeping and having beauty sleep?!"

  "Uh..." Luo Jun had originally planned to say something pleasant when Liu Ya opened the door, but unexpectedly, this girl's first words were to ask about his mother, which short-circuited his brain. 10 seconds passed before Luo Jun came back to himself, smiled slightly, and used his finger to lightly wipe the tip of his nose, took a deep breath, and said, "Thanks! You're really kind! As soon as you opened your mouth, you asked about my mom - if our class teacher knew, she'd definitely be very happy!"

  "What's up? Spit it out, I want to go back to sleep." Liu Ya glared at him impatiently, only to remember that his mom was their beloved teacher Fang Xueqing.

  "It's gone..."

  "It's gone! What are you yelling about?!" Liu Ya heard Luo Jun say "it's gone" and let out a loud roar, then turned around and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

  "This depraved man who's almost dropping his pants! This shameless and unchaste man! This man who's been spat on by everyone and has no one to turn to! This man who's been cut into a thousand pieces and can't let people sleep! And he still dares to shout loudly! I curse his mother, I curse his father, I curse his ancestors for eighteen generations..." Liu Ya muttered angrily as she walked towards the lovely bed.

  "Pffft, Ayaza's fur is standing on end, it's really scary." Seagull said, looking at Liu Ya who had been walking and asking questions all along, slightly tilting her head to say to Huang Ying who was sleeping beside her.

  "Really isn't it! Hehehe......" Huang Ying was also delighted beyond measure.

  "Hey, Aya, what did Luo Jun want with you?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

  "It's nothing!" Liu Ya replied irritably. Then, with a 'thud', she jumped onto the bed, pulled up the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

  "Nothing's wrong? Nothing's wrong and he comes knocking on your door in the middle of the night?" Lu Xuan looked at Liu Ya, who was lying motionless on the bed, with some incredulity. "I think he's here to rekindle old romance with you!"

  "Old love?! Me? Ha! Liu Ya poked her little head out from under the covers, thinking of Luo Jun who used to tease her with a small dog when they were young, and said viciously, "Ten years ago, he was my arch-nemesis! An enemy I couldn't live under the same sky with!"

  "Didn't I tell you so!" At this time, Li Xiaoman also woke up and interjected: "I told you guys before, this man's depraved nature is almost showing on his face! You still didn't believe me!"

  "Ah! That can't be...?" Huang Ying suddenly remembered that Liu Ya had borrowed 5,000 yuan from Luo Jun yesterday, but she wasn't sure, so she stopped halfway through what she was saying.

  "What is it?" Liu Fang was woken up by their conversation and asked when Huang Ying said halfway.

  "Aya took 5,000 yuan from him yesterday, he's coming to find Aya to sign an IOU!" Huang Ying said with some doubt.

  "It's just 5,000 yuan! Is it worth it?" Liu Ya suddenly sat up, I shouldn't owe someone a favor, I have to ask him for an account number and pay him back later. "No way, I have to go ask, is this really the case."

  Lu Jun, who had been standing at the door in a daze, looked at the tightly closed door with some unexpected thoughts. Lu Jun smiled wryly: "Ten years have passed, and this girl is still such a heavy sleeper!" He thought back to the past, when no matter how loudly thunder boomed outside, she would never wake up from her sleep. "Forget it. Ya'er, did you know? I originally wanted to take you to watch the sunrise." Lu Jun said silently in his heart. He turned around and walked towards the stairs.

  "Squeak...", at the door.

  "Lu Jun!" Liu Ya saw Lu Jun walking down the stairs and hastily called out to him.

  "Really?" Luo Jun heard Liu Ya's voice and felt a surge of joy in his heart. He turned around to look at Liu Ya, who was still wearing her pajamas. "Didn't you go back to sleep?"

  "What are you looking for me?" Liu Ya walked out of the door, lightly closed it, and calmly asked, "What's your bank account number? Write one down for me, later when I go down the mountain, I'll transfer money to you."

  "What? What card number?" Luo Jun's face was filled with confusion, "What payment are you making for me?"

  "Don't pretend you'll die!" Liu Ya said irritably, "You're just here to ask me for the 5,000 yuan from yesterday, aren't you? You can't even sleep at three in the morning, are you that desperate? Still pretending!"

  "What the...! Me, me, me, when did I ever say that I came to find you for that 5000 yuan?!?" Luo Jun saw Liu Ya's misunderstanding of him and spoke hastily, stuttering with rage, as if he wanted to dig out his own heart to show her, a heart that was red!

  "What are you doing knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night?!" Liu Ya looked at him with confusion.

  "I want to take you to see the sunrise." Luo Jun said with some embarrassment. If he didn't speak straightforwardly, this girl would start daydreaming again later on.

  "Look, sunrise?!" Liu Ya looked at Luo Jun in surprise, "Where are you going?"

  "Of course it's on the mountain!" Luo Jun looked at Liu Ya's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't go to the mountain to watch the sunrise, do you want to watch it in your room?"

  "No way!" Liu Ya refused bluntly.

  "Why?" Luo Jun's heart was slightly broken.

  "I'm going to sleep!" Liu Ya said irritably, "We just came down the mountain yesterday and are very tired! Do you have any love? Can't you be a little human?"

  "Hmm, so that's how it is..." Luo Jun looked at Liu Ya with a somewhat disappointed and speechless expression. Looks like I've done something good but ended up with bad results.

  "If you really can't sleep, I...". Liu Ya glanced at her watch: 3:20, then looked at the dejected Luo Jun and said reluctantly, "I'll change into some clothes and go out for a walk with you."

  "Can it be?" Luo Jun was somewhat delighted.

  "Isn't it?"

  "Let's go! Shall we head up the mountain?!"

  "Whatever you want..." Liu Ya said, turning around to open the door and walk into the room. With a click, she closed the door behind her. Looking at the lovely bedspread, Liu Ya's regretful thoughts surged up from the bottom of her heart. Waaah, people really can't be too kind-hearted!

  Digression

  Look at the sunrise, look at the sunrise, the red and bright sun, one mao (one tenth of a yuan) each, come quickly, come quickly...

  Chen Yue: Ah, ah, ah, Liu Ya, what are you doing? Haven't seen the sun before?

  Liu Ya: I've seen it, but... Never with a handsome guy together, huh? You see, shouldn't I invite a few more?

  Chen Yue: Pffft..., you want to hurt me again?

  Liu Ya: It's crowded and lively!
