BXBX NOVEL Chapter 240: The Boyfriend is Also Your Man
her mobile phone lying carelessly on the bed vibrated incessantly.
Chi Enen wrapped her damp hair with a handkerchief, picked up the phone, and as soon as she touched it, the heat of the device scalded her slightly. She looked down to see the words “Paranoid” wildly jumping on the screen. She didn’t know how many calls this made…
Chi Enen hesitated for a moment but still answered the call, “Hello?”
“Hello, Chi Enen, why didn’t you answer the phone!”
A roar, so loud that it almost shattered her eardrums! Chi Enen moved the phone away a bit and explained to him, “I went bathing and didn’t see the phone.”
“You didn’t hear the ringtone either?” His tone, however she heard it, was unpleasant.
“I had it on vibrate.”
Chi Enen sat beside the bed, adjusted the volume, turned on speaker mode. Then she put the phone back on the bed and began to towel dry her hair with the handkerchief.
Fortunately, she had set it to vibrate, or Baby Chi might have been the one to answer the call.
“What’s up?”
This woman! Li Beijue really wanted to strangle her, his tone was not kind as he retorted, “Can’t 1 call you if there’s nothing wrong? Don’t forget, I am your man now!”
“…Just a boyfriend.”
Li Beijue became even more annoyed and forcefully argued back, “A boyfriend is still your man, and in any case, you can only have me as your man!”
Too unreasonable. Chi Enen was speechless and too lazy to argue about this, so she asked him again, “Li Beijue, what exactly do you want to talk about by calling me?”
This time, the man on the other end of the phone responded quickly, hardly thinking, “To chat.”
To chat…
“…We just parted half an hour ago.”
“Is it too long for me?”
Chi Enen couldn’t win against him, who made her choose such a domineering man. She conceded, “Fine.”
There was a moment of silence between them.
Chi Enen couldn’t find a topic, while Li Beijue was reflecting on whether he had been too harsh just now.
After the silence, Chi Enen was considering how to break the quiet.
Suddenly, there was a rustling noise from the other side of the phone.
“Chi Enen, I can’t sleep without hearing your voice.”
He couldn’t sleep without hearing her voice? Was he offering an explanation?
Chi Enen’s heart softened, and she pursed her lips slightly and took the initiative, “How about I read you a book then?”
“Okay.”
Since she had offered to read, she at least needed to find a book.
Chi Enen searched around the room and only found a fairy tale book she had used before to put Baby Chi to sleep. She was a bit embarrassed, “The only books at home are Baby Chi’s. If that’s not okay, I can go to the living room to see if there are any newspapers or magazines.”
“No need to look. It’s fine.”
He just needed her voice; whatever she said would do.
Of course, if he could do what he loved to do with her, his sleep would be even better!
“Really? Then I’ll start reading, are you ready?” Chi Enen didn’t know what he was thinking, or she wouldn’t want to continue reading.
“Yes.”
She spread the book open, found a comfortable pose on the bed, and began to read in a low voice, “A long time ago, there was a teenager named Aladdin. His father had passed away, leaving him and his mother to live a hard life together.
One day, he encountered a magician. The magician claimed to be his uncle and wanted to take him to the kingdom of Wang Du to learn a trade. Aladdin believed his words….”
