If Qin Ruojing knew that Chu Ge was actually just pretending to be asleep, she would definitely want to kick him right off the bed.
Unfortunately, she didn't know.
So, she placed her hand on the back of Chu Ge's hand and didn't move it for a long time.
In fact, when Chu Ge felt Qin Ruojing's hand on the back of his, he was quite puzzled, almost wanting to turn over and ask her what on earth she was trying to do.
However, Chu Ge ultimately resisted the thought and decided to continue to play it by ear, planning to see what would happen if Qin Ruojing made any further moves.
He waited and waited, but Qin Ruojing made no further moves. It seemed she simply wanted to sleep holding his hand.
Chu Ge was a bit speechless, and a bit amused. What kind of quirk is this?
Thinking it over, he gradually came to a conjecture that Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, the twin sisters, might have some kind of telepathy.
Otherwise, how could Qin Ruoying have had such a strange dream the night the Operation Management Department office caught fire?
If that were the case, then after he and Qin Ruoying went out to watch a horror movie today, the sisters' series of odd behaviors could also be explained.
Telepathy, these four characters sound mysterious, but similar situations might occur around everyone.
For example, someone might have had a dream a long time ago that seemed very inexplicable at the time, but in a period of time afterward, that dream suddenly turned into reality.
Or, between close family members, even if they are not in the same city, if one of them has something major happening, the other might suddenly feel uneasy, or even dream about the other's situation and wake up suddenly in the middle of the night.
Such things are actually quite common, and scientists all over the world have tried various experiments to explain these seemingly unscientific phenomena using scientific means, and then apply them in applicable fields.
Of course, there is a long way to go in this research topic. If it is successful, it will definitely be a major advancement for humanity. Well… it may also accelerate human destruction.
Take this for example: you dream that one day when you're walking on the road, there will be a car accident. You remember everything about this dream, so when the day comes, and you find yourself in that scene, you will undoubtedly be extremely careful and not take that road. So then, what would happen?
It's hard to say. You might avoid a disaster, or you might encounter some other misfortune, which could trigger a butterfly effect, a seemingly simple little thing that might lead to unexpected changes.
It's just that until such things become reality, it's hard to say anything for sure.
Actually, many things are like this; whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or vice versa, it's hard to have a standard by which to judge.
It's like the word "if." Everyone, almost every day, uses the word "if," imagining what would happen if something went a certain way, but in fact, "if" is a very powerless word. Once something happens, it happens. There's no way to change it.
With that thought, Chu Ge felt more at ease. If it was as he guessed, then Qin Ruojing just wanted to find a bit of comfort in him.
After waiting for a few more minutes, seeing that Qin Ruojing indeed made no further movements, Chu Ge decided not to wait any longer and drifted back to sleep.
Upon waking, just as Chu Ge was about to stretch, he sensed something was off. A slight movement of his arm revealed that there was another hand on his, and realizing this, he froze.
He thought, oh right, Qin Ruojing was scared last night and put her hand on his. She hadn't let go yet.
Well, to avoid embarrassing Qin Ruojing, he decided to just lie there. Maybe it was because Qin Ruoying watched a horror movie yesterday, and when she was deeply frightened, Qin Ruojing empathetically felt scared too, which led to her fear during sleep.
After staying there for an unknown amount of time, as Chu Ge lay between sleep and wakefulness, a sudden urgent scream burst in his ear.
Immediately afterward, Chu Ge got a kick to the butt. If he hadn't reacted quickly and instinctively propped himself up with his palm on the bed, the kick would've definitely knocked him off the bed.
Good grief, isn't that a bit much? You were the one who came close to me, right? I didn't even yell, so why are you screaming?
Chu Ge certainly knew why he got kicked, but in the face of such a situation, there was no place for reasoning. All he could do was rub his butt, pretend to be woken up by the kick, and turn around with an innocent look on his face.
Seeing Chu Ge's sleepy appearance, Qin Ruojing felt genuinely embarrassed after realizing what had happened. The kick was completely a reflex action, and only after kicking Chu Ge did she realize she had been cuddling up to him to sleep.
"I... Are you okay?"
Chu Ge yawned, scratched his head, and chuckled, "I'm alright. I mean, it's just being randomly kicked awake early in the morning and almost flopping face-first off the bed, nothing much."
"Alright, well, you didn't fall off, did you? Get up quickly, tidy up, and you'll have to take Xiaoying to the airport later."
"You're so sure your sister will leave?"
"Of course, she's my sister. I know her well."
"You sisters sure are interesting."
Chu Ge muttered something, put on his clothes, gave Qin Ruojing a funny look, and turned to leave the bedroom.
Walking into the living room, Chu Ge discovered something that surprised him greatly.
On the dining table, there were actually three bowls of steaming millet porridge?
And that's not all—a scent of fried eggs wafted in from the direction of the kitchen, along with the faint sound of eggs sizzling on an electric griddle.
Chu Ge blinked and glanced outside the window. The sun hadn't risen in the west today, had it? Qin Ruoying actually got up early to cook?
Scratching his head, Chu Ge walked towards the kitchen. A few steps later, Qin Ruoying's figure came into view.
At this moment, she was indeed wearing an apron, holding a flat spatula, frying eggs on the electric griddle with a faint smile on her face, looking very happy.
Standing at the kitchen door, Chu Ge scrutinized Qin Ruoying as if she were an alien, then spoke earnestly.
"Hello, beautiful, gentle, virtuous lady, may I know your name?"
"Oh, come on! Brother-in-law! Stop clowning around. Don't tell me you've forgotten me just after one night?"
Chu Ge chuckled, "I almost thought I got the wrong person, but it really is my pretty, adorable sister-in-law, Qin Ruoying!"
While sprinkling salt on the eggs, Qin Ruoying shot a glance at Chu Ge. "Brother-in-law, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Chu Ge curled his lips, "Did watching a horror movie change you? You're actually getting up early to cook now?"
"I'm thinking I'm leaving today, so better butter up my sister. Otherwise, if she bears a grudge next time, what if she really gets mad and gives me trouble?"
This time, Chu Ge was genuinely impressed. Qin Ruojing was right; Qin Ruoying was indeed leaving today.
At the same time, Chu Ge also genuinely felt the deep bond between Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying, which made him quite envious and warm inside.
They were arguing fiercely just yesterday, but after a night's sleep, not only did they make up, but Qin Ruoying, who's usually lazy, got up to make breakfast.
Knowing Qin Ruoying's character, if it were someone else, she might not speak to them for a long time.
"Alright, brother-in-law, stop watching me cook. It's embarrassing. Go wash up—soon you'll just sit and enjoy your meal with my sister."
"You? Embarrassed? Hahaha!"
Chu Ge laughed heartily and gracefully left before Qin Ruoying could throw an eggshell at him.
However, Chu Ge didn't know that the reason Qin Ruoying got up to make this breakfast, especially fried eggs, wasn't what she claimed.
The real reason is that the first breakfast Chu Ge made for her in Kyoto was fried eggs.
When Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing finished washing up and joined Qin Ruoying at the breakfast table, the sisters were back to giving each other cold looks, as if still bothered by yesterday's events.
It wasn't until Qin Ruojing finished breakfast that she spoke her first words to Qin Ruoying of the day.
"Do you have enough money? Do you need me to give you some more?"
"Not enough! Yes!"
Seeing Qin Ruoying's righteous look, Chu Ge almost spat out his water.
And Qin Ruojing couldn't hold back any longer, shook her head helplessly, then burst into laughter, glared at Qin Ruoying, left a stack of cash, and went out the door.
Around ten o'clock, Chu Ge took Qin Ruoying to the airport. When they parted at the security checkpoint, he let out a long sigh of relief.
With Qin Ruoying gone, it seemed that he wouldn't have to stay at Qin Ruojing's place for the time being.
After all, he and Qin Ruojing hadn't shown any flaws these past few days, so Qin Ruoying probably wouldn't drop by unexpectedly for a while.
As the saying goes, there's no place like home, even if his rented place wasn't as well-equipped as Qin Ruojing's home, the key was feeling at ease.
Leaving the airport, it was almost noon. Chu Ge grabbed something to eat outside and then returned to the company directly.
Opening the office door, Chu Ge saw the girls gathered in the office, chattering in a "lunch break meeting," and he could vaguely hear words like "missing" and "kidnapping."
