Chapter 455: 455, Sleepwalking Young Master Xiao
Chapter 455: Sleepwalking Young Master Xiao
But still, the other end of the line suspected something was wrong, “Yeah, why did you answer the phone when I called at midnight? Something is amiss!”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“There is, there is.” The other person quickly interrupted, “Tian Ye said he was organizing a class reunion soon, which confused me. There are only four of us in Nancheng, what’s the point of a reunion? I’m wondering what you think…”
“I’m busy.”
“Just as I thought, you definitely wouldn’t agree. Your little princess is too strict. Tian Ye is so pretty, and now she’s broken up with Ye Bei and is single again. Ok, brother, I’ll continue to drink, bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai put down his cell phone, saw the green icon on the screen, slid his hands casually and opened WeChat.
“Baby Yiyi” icon silently lay there, with no new messages.
The nickname was something that Mo Weiyi had forced him to change after they got married, as for his nickname in her WeChat was “Kiss Xiaobai”.
The man’s thin lips slightly pursed together. A few seconds later, he suddenly got out of bed.
He stood in front of the wardrobe in the room and, without hesitation, opened the door.
The side of the bedroom closet naturally held the clothes most frequently worn this season. However, now the left side was neatly arranged men’s shirts, suits… while the right side was empty.
When he pulled open the drawer below, the left side is still neatly arranged men’s underwear, the right side…

Ten minutes later, there was a hurried knocking sound coming from downstairs.
Zhou rushed to put on her coat and open the door, only to see Xiao Yebai standing in front of the door with a gloomy and handsome face. The corridor and living room outside hadn’t turned on the lights, the light from the bedroom shining on the man’s face had truly given her a fright.
“Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong?” Her voice was trembling.
Xiao Yebai just looked at her gloomily, then finally, his thin lips moved, “…”
Zhou stared at him blankly.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t speak.
“Mr. Xiao, you … you …”
Xiao Yebai suddenly turned and left.
Zhou just stood there, looking confused.
What just happened to Mr. Xiao?
Arriving to knock at the door in the middle of the night without a word, and leaving again without a word?
Checking the time, it was half past midnight.
Could he be sleepwalking?
God, this frightened me.
Zhou quickly shut the door.
I have never heard from Xiao that he sleepwalks before, I better ask Yang, who took care of Mr. Xiao before, about it. This is too scary.
**
Xiao Yebai returned to the bedroom upstairs and closed the door.
The room was quiet again.
He came to a side cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, held the glass, and went to the balcony outside.
Pushing open the window, the outside night was lonely, with a cold wind.
The man stood on the balcony, poured a glass of red wine, elegantly held the wine glass and slowly sipped.
The dim light cut a mysterious shadow on his handsome profile.
It wasn’t until he had slowly finished a bottle of red wine that the restlessness deep inside his body calmed down.
He turned and returned to the bedroom.
Not long after, the light in the bedroom went out.
**
The next morning.
Xiao Yebai went downstairs at seven o’clock.
“Mr. Xiao.”
Zhou was used to his early rising, even though it was the weekend.
Probably had some social engagements.
After preparing the breakfast and seeing Xiao Yebai sit at the table, looking as elegant as ever, she cautiously asked, “Mr. Xiao, were you okay last night?”
Xiao Yebai casually sipped his coffee, his expression normal, “What happened?”
Zhou’s heart sank, could it really have been sleepwalking?
“Mr. Xiao, you came downstairs looking for me last night out of the blue, don’t you remember?” she hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yebai was still nonchalant, “I don’t remember.”
Zhou’s face turned pale: “…”
Was he really sleepwalking?
This is too scary.
If the princess is not at home in the future, does this mean he will be knocking on her door every night?
This is bad; she is old and can’t handle this kind of scare.
As soon as Xiao Yebai finished tidying up and left, Aunt Zhou immediately called Mo Weiyi.
**
At the girls’ dormitory, Mo Weiyi was already forcibly awakened.
Because last night was her first time living apart after her marriage, she tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep. As soon as she finally fell asleep, she was awakened by Su Wanwan.
She checked the time, it was only seven o’clock.
“Why are you getting up so early on a Saturday?” Mo Weiyi whined from under the blankets, “Baby Wanwan, I’m sleepy….”
“Weren’t you asleep by ten o’clock last night? Now it’s seven o’clock, you’ve slept for nine hours and you’re still sleepy, are you a pig?”
Su Wanwan was already dressed in lightweight sportswear, she came over, pulling at the blanket, “Get up, come running with me, then we’ll have breakfast and go study!”
Mo Weiyi’s face scrunches up, “It’s Saturday, we’ve no classes, why do we have to run, it’s so cold outside!”
“Physical fitness to defend our homeland!” Su Wanwan explained, warming up, brimming with vitality.
She saw that Mo Weiyi had closed her eyes again, so she went straight to lift up the blanket, lightly slapping her on her bum.
“Ah!” Mo Weiyi screamed.
She was instantly reminded of the fear of being under Su Wanwan’s command when she was in high school.
Slightly regretful, what should she do now?
“Hurry up and get up!” Su Wanwan slapped her again, then played her trump card, “If you don’t get up, I won’t sleep with you tonight!”
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi reluctantly sat up, then… “I didn’t bring any workout clothes or running shoes.”
As a little princess, she naturally had a preference for ladylike clothes and mostly brought these types of outfits yesterday.
“Wait until tomorrow to run with you, today, let Aunt Zhou bring me my clothes and shoes. You go by yourself, I’ll continue to sleep….”
She was interrupted by Su Wanwan before she could finish, “Wear mine, I’ll go get them.”
Then she rapidly dashed to the next room.
“…” Mo Weiyi had a gloomy look on her face.
Could she not run? She really hated running, even the thought of going out in this freezing weather was unbearable…..
Her phone suddenly rang, Mo Weiyi found her mobile under the pillow.
Seeing it was Aunt Zhou, she immediately answered, “Aunt Zhou, what’s up?”
“Princess.” Aunt Zhou’s voice was very anxious, “What to do, Young Master Xiao…he’s terrifying!”
Mo Weiyi clutched her phone tighter, “What happened to him?”
“Young Master Xiao was sleepwalking!”
Mo Weiyi blinked, “Sleepwalking?”
“Yes, it was past midnight yesterday when he suddenly came knocking on my door. I opened the door and he didn’t say a word and just walked away.”
Mo Weiyi sighed, “He probably needed something from you.”
“No, I specifically asked him earlier, he doesn’t remember knocking on my door last night. Isn’t this sleepwalking, princess? Did Young Master Xiao used to sleepwalk?”
Mo Weiyi tilted her head, “No.”
“That’s strange.”
At this moment, Su Wanwan came back with clothes.
Mo Weiyi had to say, “Aunt Zhou, I have to hang up, I’m going running.”
“What?” Aunt Zhou was again taken aback.
The little princess, who had been pampered and spoiled all her life, was actually getting up to run at seven o’clock?
They’ve gone mad!
They’re all mad!
**
Although Mo Weiyi was a centimeter or two taller than Su Wanwan their bodily builds were similar so Su Wanwan’s clothes and shoes fit her perfectly.
Accompanying Su Wanwan downstairs after dawdling and dilly-dallying, they arrived on the school playground at eight o’clock.
They thought there wouldn’t be many people around, but surprisingly…those who played football were playing, those who ran were running, and there were even some reading their textbooks.
Are they all monsters? Mo Weiyi pouted, pulling her scarf up again.
It’s really cold.
“Let’s go, run for half an hour then go for breakfast.” Su Wanwan said, then began to run, “Stick with me! Faster!”
Mo Weiyi could only run after her.
However, she had not exercised for years, and after running less than a lap, she was out of breath. Finally, she could not stand it anymore and stopped her pace, “I can’t… I need to rest… for a while.”
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, speechless, and ran off on her own.
Mo Weiyi bent over, clutching her chest, feeling as though her heart was about to jump out, breathless and dizzy, her vision dimming.
Across the playground, a tall and stern man stood watching.
He focused on the little woman standing there.
Compared with the other students, even in simple hoodie, gray joggers, and black sneakers, her head of unruly, bushy curls made her stand out.
He narrowed his dark eyes, and was about to go over, when a…boy? appeared beside Mo Weiyi.
