The Blind Marriage

Chapter 22

Mengrui POV

I grumble and roll over as the sun hits my face, I freeze bumping into someone, I lift my head glaring at the gap in my curtain before turning to see who was laying next to me, only they were not laid down, they were leaning against the headboard, their head leant back against the wall, I rub my eyes and stare at him "Shuanghui" I whispered trying to remember why he's here, he looked peaceful sleeping, he didn't look dangerous that's for sure, I sit up on my bed waving my hand infront of his face "Shuanghui, you awake" I mumbled quietly, after getting no response I looked around trying to figure out why he was here, "ah his phone" I mumbled and searched around for it, it was on the bed under my pillow, I picked it up and picked Xing up who seemed to have found a comfy bed on Shuanghui's lap, I looked at Shaunghui again before I slid off my bed, I walked downstairs walking into the kitchen "morning Ma" I said with a smile

She turned and looked at me with a smile "morning Mengrui, sleep well?" I nodded and she looked at the side then at me "Mengrui, where did this tub come from

I rubbed my head biting my lip as I slowly remembered what happened last night "Shuanghui" I said simply, she nodded and took our breakfast to the table not questioning the tub any further, I turned away in the attempt to try and hide the blush that crept up onto my face

my mother started eating but she looked over at me as a phone started ringing, I quickly answered it but before I could say anything a voice echoed down the phone "DIDI!!" he shouted "where are you Didi, I thought you were coming to say hi before we left" he sounded like he was slightly pouting as the recognisable childish voice spoke

I pulled the phone away from my ear "I really should check the caller ID first, putting the phone back to my ear "want me to wake him up" I mumbled quietly

This was followed by silence and a few muffled voices before a more sincere voice came through "Xiao Kong?" the younger twin I thought to myself 

"yes?" I asked questioningly

there were muffled voices again "what are you doing with Shuanghui's phone" Juanshou questioned

I looked up at my ma who was trying to listen to the conversation, I gave her a smile before getting up out of my seat and walking out of the room "he left it here yesterday after arguing with Shuying and Dianfa"

"I see' I'll get Xiao Tang to get him up then, thank you"

"wait," I said quickly, "he won't be able to unless he came here" there was a bit of  rustling on the other end so I continued "Shuanghui is at mine, asleep on my bed" I hesitated when speaking "I can wake him up if you want me to"

"asleep, on the bed" they both questioned at the same time "are you sure he's asleep?" Kaihan added

"sat up but yeah, definitely asleep" I mumbled, "why do you sound shocked?"

I swear I heard Kaihan laughing before Juanshou responded "It's ok Xiao Kong, let him sleep, we'll call him later, could you let him know"

"If he's awake before I leave I'll tell him" I responded

"thank you Xiao Kong, please take care of Didi for us," Kaihan said, a teasing tone in his voice, "don't tease him" I heard Juanshou say "be safe Xiao Kong" with that they hung up the phone

I slipped the phone into my pocket and walked into the dining room "ma" I said softly taking my seat back on the table, she hummed in response "is there enough food for one more" 

she looked up at me a little confused "yeah, there is, why?"

I nodded "I was tired when he came last night, after he fed me I went back to sleep so he locked up and stayed because I was too tired to find where I put his phone which he left here after Shuying slapped him" I frowned slightly

She nodded "I see, but don't you need to go to school soon, shouldn't you wake him up?"

I shook my head "no he didn't show up till really late last night, I don't know what time it was but his brothers said to let him sleep, so let him, besides..... he looks peaceful sleeping"

A soft smile grew on my mother's face "alright, when he wakes up I'll give him some food, you go get ready for school" she got up taking my now empty plate as I finish eating,

I got up and headed upstairs, Xing was running around downstairs chasing after a ball, I went into my room got a button-down shirt and some trousers, heading into the bathroom to shower and change, when I finished Shuanghui hasn't once moved from where he was when I left him this morning, I let out a sigh and pulled the cover over him careful not to wake him, I grab my hairdryer and head downstairs to dry my hair. After my hair was dry I went to my mother and hugged her "don't let Xing into my room till Shuanghui is awake" I kiss her on the cheek before walking out of the room and heading out for school

I close the door and look over at Dianfa who is glaring at the motorbike parked in the driveway "what is he doing back?" slight anger in his tone

I frowned at him letting out a sigh "he came to get his phone last night that's all, let's go or we are going to be late" 

"if he's just getting his phone why is he still here, why isn't he leaving, did he stay again last night" a slight demand for an answer in his voice 

I glare at him shaking my head as I head for school "yes he stayed last night, and it was my fault he stayed, he told me he would if I didn't give him his phone and I didn't I fell asleep, I was too tire to care or even try to find it, besides it's also your fault for the things you said to your sister, he didn't even get to eat much of the food he cooked, neither did I till he brought some last night and currently he's asleep that's why he is not leaving when we did" I mumbled slightly

Dianfa frowned at me "I didn't say anything wrong, I only said the truth to my sister, don't get me wrong but he does seem to be clinging onto you Mengrui, I don't want you getting hurt"

I sighed and shook my head "Just forget about it gege, it doesn't matter, and I won't get hurt" I take a few steps ahead and stuck my tongue out at him "come on let's get to class, race you" he grinned and I ran off him running after me, soon passing me, I knew there was no way I'd beat him but I wanted this conversation to end

Shuanghui POV

I rub my eyes as I groan, blinking my eyes open it takes me a moment to remember where I am, I look down at the blanket slung over my lap pulling it off as I slide off the bed "Xiao Rui?" I mumble stretching, I yawn and grab the phone on the bedside table looking at the time, it was 11 am, "must have fallen asleep, this is Mengrui's phone" I mumble to myself before looking around "where's mine?" I head downstairs keeping hold of his phone "Xiao Rui?" I called as I walk

Xing started barking at me, he was at the bottom of the stairs, I crouch down and give him a rub on the head as Meirong walks into the hall "good morning Xiao Li" she said with a smile as I looked up at her smiling back to her "Mengrui left you some breakfast for when you wake up"

I stand up, a little shocked she signalled for me to follow and I followed her to the kitchen she grabbed a plate and handed it over to me, "Thank you" I mumbled with a soft smile and she nodded and I headed to the dining room to eat it
