"time……"

Xi Xinrui looked at the time on her phone and said, "...it's getting late. You'll be ready to rest in a little while."

…

"oh oh."

Xi Xinrui looked obedient on the outside, but she was retorting in her heart.

How late is it?

It's only after eight o'clock...

Sometimes my brother’s thinking is really old-fashioned, like that of his grandfather’s generation…

…

Xi Xinrui waited for her sister to hang up the phone.

He's used to doing this.

Ever since he hung up the phone too quickly and was complained about by his sister who called again soon after, he never hung up the phone first with his sister again.

…

"ah!"

Xi Xinrui's heart skipped a beat when she heard Xi Xinrui's scream coming from the receiver.

He asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?!"

"What happened?"

"Xiaorui?!"

…

"…..fine."

A few seconds later, Xi Xinrui's voice came over again.

…

Xi Xinrui poked the head of her pet snake with her finger.

…

"Then what was your name just now?"

Xi Xinrui was somewhat doubtful of her sister's words.

Something must have happened.

…

Well……

Xi Xinrui tugged on the pet snake's tail.

He had a somewhat vicious look on his face.

It's all your fault...

Originally she didn't want to say it, but since her brother specifically asked...

"Ahem~"

Xi Xinrui was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's nothing."

"I just didn't notice it..."

"Pine cones crawled down my wrist."

"I almost sat on it just now."

"Scared me..."

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and avoided the pine cone with a difficult maneuver.

Let Song Guo avoid the bad luck of being overwhelmed by her mountain.

…

That's right.

Xi Xinrui suddenly realized.

The worry on his face faded.

He knew that Pinecone was the name of one of his sister's pet snakes.

Because my sister thought the color of the snake looked like a pine cone, she gave the snake this name.

The name is quite cute.

If only this adorable name wasn't for a snake...

Even better.

…

Xi Xinrui did not put away her phone.

He looked at the screensaver on his phone.

His fingers wandered over the address book.

He was hesitating whether to call Xiao Xiao, the owner of White Snake, now?

His eyes moved upward and focused on the time.

For my sister who is a high school student, it is almost time to go to bed.

But for college students…

There is still a lot of time to "squander".

…

Unless there are special circumstances, most college students basically don’t go to bed until lights out.

It is not necessary to just close your eyes and sleep.

Maybe you have to sit in bed with your eyes open and chat away from home for a while, and then the sound of deep sleeping breathing slowly sounds in the room.

…

Xi Xinrui knew that at this time, the other party must not be resting.

…

never mind.

After hesitating for a long time, Xi Xinrui gave up the plan of calling the other party at this time.

…

It's a little late.

Besides, this matter is not so urgent that I can't afford to wait all night.

…

The next day, Xi Xinrui struggled for a while and finally decided to call the owner of White Snake during lunch break.

The phone rang for a long time.

No one ever answered the phone.

Xi Xinrui frowned.

He looked at the time.

Now at this time...

Could it be that Xiao Xiao was eating out?

Was the surrounding environment too noisy for him to hear the incoming call?

Xi Xinrui took a deep breath.

He pressed Dial again.

…

Xi Xinrui waited until the phone automatically hung up again.

He pursed his lips.

He didn't expect...

Before making the call, he had been worrying about the time to call, and how to tell Xiao Xiao that his sister wanted to see him...

He never expected...

He thought that as long as he dialed the other party's phone number, everything would fall into place and the dust would settle...

As a result, he encountered unexpected problems again.
