Yun Muxi knitted her eyebrows lightly and asked with puzzlement, “I did not order a meal.”
The young man was embarrassed to say, “Miss Yun, we are only responsible for delivering food. The guest ordered a meal, so I have to deliver it.”
Yun Muxi had no intention to embarrass him, so she received the food and closed the door.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the bell rang.
“Miss Yun, here is your fruit!”
At four o’clock in the afternoon, the bell rang.
“Miss Yun, here is your afternoon tea.”
At six o’clock, the bell rang.
“Miss Yun, here is your dinner!”
…
Yun Muxi was rattled as she was bombarded by the incessant delivery. She was confused but no one could answer. She lied on the sofa and complained loudly, “Who did this?”
After a while, she got up and ate the dinner. Now that it was there, she could not waste food. Besides, she liked all the dishes. She was surprised at “Y”, who could cater to her pleasure in food and drink as well as flowers. She was curious about “Y”.
Having eaten dinner, she turned on the TV. She did not watch TV usually. These days, she had nearly done her work and Niannian was not around. Thus, she was not busy.
There was an exclusive interview on TV. The hostess laughed and asked, “I heard that only the male lead in the play is determined but the female lead is not determined. I wonder why?”
The camera zoomed in on Director Zhao Yi, who wore a slim blue-black suit and white shirt, looked refined and modest. He smiled faintly and answered seriously, “The female lead is the most important in the play, so the requirement is so high. We’re still sorting the female lead.”
Then, the camera returned to the hostess. She smiled and asked again, “Gong Yu, you’re the male lead. Do you have anyone in mind?”
The camera zoomed in on Gong Yu who sat beside Zhao Yi. Gong Yu wore a black shirt and black casual pants. He was stern-faced. As the camera zoomed in on Gong Yu, Yun Muxi was absent-minded. He responded in a deep voice, “I will play the male lead well. The person selected for the female lead is not important for me.”
His answer was safe. Actually, the hostess intended to create a buzz. Unexpectedly, Gong Yu played down the topic, leaving no imaginary sphere.
Seeing Gong Yu again, Yun Muxi felt a little dejected. She was not in the mood to watch TV. Thus, she turned off the TV and continued to modify the script.
…
In the next two days, she took delivery invariably and punctually. She received flowers at 10 o’clock; lunch at 12 o’clock; fruits at 14 o’clock; afternoon tea at 16 o’clock; dinner at 18 o’clock. However, the “Y” never showed up. Yun Muxi paid no attention and accepted without question. She lived a comfortable life these two days.
She finally completed modification based on Zhao Yi’s advice. She turned off the computer and went to the supermarket. This day, Niannian and Gu Yuxuan would come back. She was going to cook a big dinner for them.
When she came back after purchase and went out of the elevator, she saw the opposite door wide open as if someone was moving in. The room was always empty for three years after she had moved in.
Yun Muxi looked inside the door curiously. Except for several workers, she did not see the host. She turned around to go home and washed her hands to prepare dinner.
She spent three hours in the kitchen. Each dish was the main course in a hotel. From childhood, she cooked for herself because her parents were always too busy to take good care of her. She was a quick learner and a talented cook. She gradually had a good cooking skill and was comparable to a hotel chef.
When she served dinner, the bell rang violently. Yun Muxi looked at her watch and ran to open the door with a titter. “I’m coming. I’m coming. Don’t push me!”
As she opened the door, Niannian and Gu Yuxuan smiled and gave her a big hug respectively. Yun Muxi ignored Gu Yuxuan and squatted to hold Niannian in her arms. She kissed the little girl’s forehead happily.
Niannian had two high ponytails hanging down to her shoulders; long, dense, and curled flickering eyelashes; big sparkling eyes; little doll-like chubby rosy face. She was about three years old, but her five sense organs were delicate impeccably. Obviously, she would grow up to be a beauty.
Yun Muxi held Niannian in her arms and walked into the house. Although she got no hug, Gu Yuxuan was not unhappy but began to gossip with Yun Muxi excitedly. “Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, do you know? You have a new neighbor.”
Yun Muxi answered with a smile, “I know. When I came back from the supermarket this afternoon, I happened to see they are moving.”
Gu Yuxuan said excitedly, “Do you know that your new neighbor is a cool and handsome man?” Gu Yuxuan’s face was ablaze with remarkable light and her eyes were brilliant like twinkling stars.
Yun Muxi said tenderly to the little baby, “Niannian, did you have fun going out this time?”
Niannian blinked her big eyes and said happily, “Uh-huh, Mommy Xuanxuan took me to Disneyland. I saw many pretty princesses.”
Yun Muxi smiled and spoke to Niannian, “Go to wash your hands with Mommy Xuanxuan. I have cooked a big meal for you.”
Niannian nodded obediently, got up and pulled Gu Yuxuan to the restroom. She suddenly stopped after taking two steps and said pleasantly to Yun Muxi, “What Mommy Xuanxuan said is true. Our new neighbor is a handsome man. I really like that handsome uncle.”
Yun Muxi burst out laughing and touched her forehead reluctantly. “Alright! Whether the opposite uncle is handsome or not, Niannian, please go to wash hands with Mommy Xuanxuan. Otherwise, the food will be cold.”
They ran cheerfully to wash hands.
When they sat down beside the dinner table, the bell rang.
Yun Muxi looked at Niannian and Gu Yuxuan with doubt and went to open the door. She was stunned as she opened the door.
Gu Yuxuan came by with Niannian and asked curiously, “Xiao Xi, is that Yichen?”
