Chapter 305: In That Case, Why Don’t You Stay A Little Longer?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wei Zilin was sensitive enough to sense the changes in Xu Moyan’s attitude, but he did not know what she was thinking now. She had been getting better, but now she was shrinking away again.
He pursed his lips lightly, but Xu Moyan did not dare to look at him right now, lowering his head and staring only at the men’s slippers on the floor. She was starting to regret buying them now.
Wei Zilin accepted the bag and said, “I don’t know why you’re suddenly retreating again.”
Xu Moyan looked up in surprise. She opened her mouth to say something, but she did not really know what to say either. She wanted to deny it, but what Wei Zilin said was true, so she could not say anything.
Before she could say anything, however, Wei Zilin interjected, “Don’t deny it, I can tell.”
His good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed quite frustrated. “I don’t know why you’re suddenly shrinking away from me. I thought we had a pretty good time tonight, and you’re much more relaxed in front of me now. Is there anything about me that scares you?”
Xu Moyan shook her head dazedly.
“If not, then do you hate me?” Wei Zilin asked again.
This time, Xu Moyan replied quickly and urgently, “No, not at all!”
Her hands were half-raised, and she nearly gripped his wrists.
Wei Zilin saw her actions and said, “Then why are you suddenly so distant to me?”
Xu Moyan could not say it, so she just shook her head profusely.
Wei Zilin smiled gently. “I know I tend to overlook certain things, so if I said anything to make you unhappy, you have to tell me straight. Or if you’re worried about anything, you can tell me too, so that I know what you’re thinking. Is that alright? That way, I can come up with a way to solve the problem.”
“You didn’t do anything to make me unhappy,” Xu Moyan said hurriedly. How could he? In her eyes, he was perfect in every way.
“Is that so? But for some reason, I feel like you’re always backing away from me, like you want to distance yourself from me.” Wei Zilin sounded rather lonely.
“No, it’s something else altogether. It’s not your fault,” Xu Moyan said quickly. She knew it, she was overthinking things.
It was because it was him. That was why she was so jumpy and insecure, fretting over every small thing.
Wei Zilin did not believe such an obvious excuse, but he did not press the subject any further. He merely said, “Well, as long as it’s not about me, it’s fine. So will you still make me those dishes?”
Xu Moyan was slightly taken aback. She had not expected Wei Zilin to still be hung up on that.
After all, she thought he might not want to have so much to do with her after that little diversion.
“Yeah, of course. I…” Xu Moyan’s face was scalding hot. “I’d love to make them for you.”
“That’s great. Then can I come here again and have your handmade soup dumplings?” Wei Zilin asked with a smile.
Xu Moyan’s smile slowly relaxed. “Sure.”
Only then did Wei Zilin open the door and walk out, with Xu Moyan going to the door frame to send him off.
Wei Zilin had already walked out and was standing outside the door, but then he suddenly stretched a hand inside.
While Xu Moyan was stunned, a warm and steady hand landed on top of her head, slowly caressing the hair on top of her head twice. He messed it up slightly, but his actions were so gentle that Xu Moyan paused and remained motionless.
“I’m going back now. I’ll contact you via WeChat after I get home.” Wei Zilin’s warm and clear voice flayed down from above her head.
No matter how long she had known him, even thigh she had heard this voice for such a long time, it still made her weak to her knees.
This lasted until Wei Zilin entered the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, he waved at her quickly. “Hurry, close the door.”
This time, Xu Moyan was strangely stubborn. She actually disobeyed him and continued to stand at the open door, insisting that she only closed the door after she had seen him off.
She was inwardly frustrated and angry at herself. The two of them had been having such a great time all night, but because of that little diversion earlier, it felt like she had messed up the wonderful atmosphere they had going.
That was why she was especially reluctant to see Wei Zilin leave now. She just wanted to keep looking at him, just like this.

Suddenly, a fair and delicate hand appeared at the frame of the elevator door, blocking the elevator doors. After that, Wei Zilin stuck out half of his torso, telling Xu Moyan somewhat sternly, “Go back.”
Seeing how Xu Moyan was standing there stubbornly, Wei Zilin felt a little exasperated. He sighed. “I’m worried about your safety. Zheng Yuntong isn’t back yet, and I don’t feel safe when you’re alone at home like this.”
“In that case, why don’t you stay a little longer?” Xu Moyan said without thinking.
She wanted to slap herself over the mouth as soon as she said that. What was wrong with her? How could she say that? What would Wei Zilin think?
Seeing the blatant regret on her face, as though she wanted to take it all back, Wei Zilin chuckled softly. He was already stepping out of the elevator.
Xu Moyan was still berating herself inwardly, so she did not see him, but since her head was lowered, she could see a familiar pair of men’s leather shoes before her eyes. In fact, she had seen these shoes just a few minutes ago.
She raised her head, stunned, and saw Wei Zilin standing in front of her. With a warm smile, he said, “Aren’t you going to let me in?”
Xu Moyan said a dazed “okay” and gave way blankly. Before she knew it, Wei Zilin was back in her house. She had not even had the chance to put away his slippers yet, and now he was putting them on again.
“I didn’t…” Xu Moyan did not even know how to explain anymore. “I’m not keeping you from anything, am I?”
“No, I don’t have anything on at night anyway,” Wei Zilin said, his voice gentle and warm as he walked into the living room and sat down with an air of familiarity.
Xu Moyan was a little panicked. “I… I’ll go make some tea.”
She was worried that drinking tea that was too strong would affect his sleep, so Xu Moyan dug out the pu’er she kept in the house. A customer had given it to her as a gift, and the packaging looked very exquisite, so it should not taste too bad. Neither she nor Zheng Yuntong was particularly fond of tea, so they had never drunk it before.
Pinching a few leaves and putting them into a teapot, she then washed the leaves before she put the teapot and teacups onto a tray. After she brought the tray out, she poured herself and Wei Zilin a cup each.
Her fair and soft fingers held her teacup, the gentle steam rising from the cup like plumes of silk. The thin mist formed a pale white veil before her eyes, blurring Xu Moyan’s vision.
In her nervousness, she blinked rather quickly, her lashes fanning and trembling. Across the veil of white most, she saw that Wei Zilin was also holding up his teacup next to her, his slender and graceful fingers holding the handle of the cup as he took a light sip of scalding hot tea.
His pretty thin and soft lips glowed with the moisture of the tea. Xu Moyan did not dare to look at him for too long, averting her eyes quickly. Her whole body was heating up.
Just then, Wei Zilin sighed as though in relief next to her, saying, “When I walked out just now, I thought you wouldn’t welcome me in again next time.”
Xu Moyan paused for a moment, unsure of how to react. She would not feel right if she did not do anything, so she repeatedly pushed her hair behind her ear, even though it was already neatly tucked there.
“Sorry, I didn’t react very well earlier. That’s why you misunderstood,” Xu Moyan said softly.
Wei Zilin rubbed his thumb across the edge of his cup lightly. “Actually, I care about your opinion just like how you care about mine. I get nervous too, and I worry if you’re angry at me or something like that.”
When Xu Moyan looked at him in surprise, Wei Zilin smiled, his lips still glistening from the tea. “You seem astonished, but you really shouldn’t be. Isn’t that perfectly normal?”
The living room was very quiet, since Wei Zilin had turned off the TV ages ago before they had dinner. Now, the only sound was their shallow breathing.
Across the misty steam from the hot tea, Xu Moyan looked at Wei Zilin’s kind smile, bright and sunny.
“I’m not angry. Why would I be?” Xu Moyan said slowly. “I’m just relieved that you won’t distance yourself from me because of this.”
“I won’t.” Wei Zilin laughed. “I’m still waiting for those soup dumplings.”
With that, he even smacked his lips like a glutton. That joking expression lasted for merely a moment, and if Xu Moyan had not seen it so clearly, she would scarcely have dared to believe her eyes.
She never thought that such a graceful gentleman would ever make a face like a child.
She was stunned for a moment, but after that, Xu Moyan could not help but laugh.
The atmosphere between the two of them became much more easygoing. Wei Zilin looked at her, seriously and attentively, opening his mouth as though he wanted to say something. Just then, however, there was the sound of someone opening the door with a key.
The door opened and Zheng walked in, her red face flush with joy. Her whole body was emitting the sweet bubbles of a girl deeply in love.
When she saw Wei Zilin in the living room, however, she paused in shock, her mouth falling open. “B-Boss!”
She immediately turned to look at Xu Moyan. What was happening here? Why was my boss here? How fast were you two progressing?
“Am I interrupting anything? Sorry, I’ll go out right now,” Zheng Yuntong said, acting like she was about to retreat right out of there.
Xu Moyan, “…”
Zheng Yuntong was acting so brainless that it left her speechless!
Wei Zilin put down the teacup, completely unaffected. He stood up calmly and said, “You don’t have to go anywhere, I was just about to leave.”
Xu Moyan stood up as well, and Wei Zilin winked at her with a smile. It immediately sent Xu Moyan’s head spinning at the sheer adorableness.
When Wei Zilin left, he did not forget to take the bag of dumplings with him. When he walked to the door, Zheng Yuntong stood at attention and said especially solemnly, “Good night, boss! Goodbye, boss!”
