Can’t you tell that I’m annoyed? (2)

His words lingered in the small elevator, not dissipating for a long time.

Jiang Junnan clearly felt that the air in this space had frozen for a moment.

His hand froze in mid-air. He turned his head cautiously, his gaze carefully falling on the girl next to him.

Yue Qianling stared at the elevator door, her fists clenched at her sides, and her cheeks were trembling slightly, as if she was gritting her teeth very hard.

Jiang Junnan suddenly felt so suffocated.

“That…” He tried to struggle again, but before he could finish his sentence, the elevator door opened, and Yue Qianling walked straight out.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared at Jiang Junnan’s phone.

Jiang Junnan was still standing in the elevator.

She opened her mouth and didn’t say anything, but her chest was heaving violently. Then, gritting her teeth, she turned and walked away.

Jiang Junnan: “……”

Why does it feel even scarier now?

***

When Yue Qianling returned home after buying the batteries for the remote control, she entered the password to unlock the door. Just before entering, she couldn’t help but look back at the door across from her.

It’s not wrong to reject the confession of a girl you don’t like but is it necessary to treat her sincere feelings as if they were so bad?!

Yue Qianling’s nose felt sour. She forcefully opened the door, kicked off her shoes, and lay down on the bed, planning to go to sleep early.

However, even after replacing the batteries in the remote control, there was still no response.

Yue Qianling refused to believe it, and she fiddled with it for several minutes, but the air conditioner still showed no signs of working.

She was so angry that she breathed heavily.

What an unlucky day!

Annoyed, she took out her phone and called the landlord.

“Sister Chen, I’m the tenant in 1314 of Building 7, and I just moved in today. Is the remote control of the air conditioner broken?”

The landlord was playing mahjong, and the environment on the other end was very noisy, and her voice sounded a bit impatient.

“How could it be broken? Have you checked if the batteries are dead?”

“I’ve already replaced the batteries.”

“Oh, then it might be broken. Hold on, I’ll change the remote control for you later. Three of a kind! Pong!”

Yue Qianling was already in a bad mood, and hearing the landlord’s perfunctory tone made her even more upset.

“How long will it take? It’s so hot without air conditioning, how can I sleep?”

“Aiya.” The landlord said, “It’s too late now, so I have no place to find one ah. How about you go borrow the remote control from 1315? That unit is also mine, and the air conditioners are all the same model. The remote controls are universal.”

As she heard Yue Qianling suddenly fall silent, the landlord drew a good card and said with a smile, “It’s okay, I’ll tell him on WeChat right away. Since you’re both young people, just go and borrow it directly.”

Yue Qianling’s tone immediately became calm, “No need to trouble. I’ll bear with it for now. Thank you.”

What a joke.

Even if she were to die from the heat today, she would never go to Gu Xun to borrow a remote control.

This kind of thing would only make people think she was seeking attention and being humble.

After hanging up the phone, Yue Qianling lay directly on the bed.

There are many people who don’t have air conditioning at home, don’t they sleep just fine?

A calm heart and you’ll naturally cool!

However, ten minutes later…

Yue Qianling got up and opened the window.

With the evening breeze blowing in, it might be a bit better.

Another ten minutes passed, and Yue Qianling’s eyes widened like brass bells, looking angrily at the ceiling.

How was it possible that there’s no breeze on the 13th floor?!

Her nightgown already had a sticky feeling, and even after tossing and turning a few times, even her hair was sticking to her neck with sweat.

Not only did she have no sleepiness, but she also felt increasingly hot.

Unable to sleep, Yue Qianling decided to pick up her phone again to pass the time. Maybe she could find a drama to watch and get sleepy…

As soon as she swiped the screen, she saw that Lin Xun had sent her a voice message two minutes ago.

“Are you asleep?”

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: No.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: But I’m not playing games tonight, I’m not in the mood.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Also, could you please stop sending voice messages.

​​【School Grass】: …

​​【School Grass】: I didn’t ask you to play games.

​​【School Grass】: Then why are you still up so late?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: It’s too hot, I can’t sleep.

​​【School Grass】: No air conditioning?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: The remote control is broken.

​​【School Grass】: Borrow one?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Who do I find in the middle of the night?

​​【School Grass】: Don’t you have any neighbors you know?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: No.

​​【School Grass】: ?

After a while, he sent another message.

​​【School Grass】: Even if you don’t know each other, you can try to borrow one. After all, you’ll be neighbors in the future.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: No.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I have thin skin, I can’t do that kind of shameless thing.

​​【School Grass】: ?

​​【School Grass】: Not to that extent.

After sending this message, Yue Qianling didn’t want to chat with him anymore. She turned over, ready to watch a drama, but suddenly, a thought struck her.

Phone infrared remote control!

She immediately took her phone and downloaded an app. After tinkering with it for a few minutes, the air conditioner finally started blowing cool air.

Yue Qianling lay back in bed in satisfaction.

At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Yue Qianling thought that she had just moved in, so she wondered who would be looking for her at this time.

She put on a coat and cautiously walked to the door, opening the peephole.

“……”

Surprisingly, it was Gu Xun.

Although the two of them didn’t make eye contact through the peephole, Yue Qianling felt half sad, half embarrassed, and a bit nervous. She couldn’t control her emotions at all.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Qianling tried to make her voice sound calm.

“Is there something?”

Through the peephole, only Gu Xun’s upper body was visible. His expression was somewhat unnatural, with his gaze shifting. In a deep voice, he said, “Open the door first.”

Yue Qianling: “?”

“What do you want?”

Hearing strong resistance in Yue Qianling’s voice, Gu Xun became annoyed.

He stared at the peephole and said, “Open the door, I brought you something.”

Yue Qianling immediately thought that it must be the landlord who called him to help.

No wonder his expression looked so strange, he probably thought she was trying to get him to help her.

Yue Qianling’s blood suddenly rushed to her head, she clenched her fists tightly, and her voice trembled slightly, “No need.”

Gu Xun pressed the tip of his tongue against his lower jaw, barely able to suppress the annoyance in his heart.

However, his voice still had a hint of impatience, “Hurry up and open it, the landlord asked me to give you the air conditioner remote control. It’s so late, don’t you want to sleep?”

After a long time, she suddenly opened the door.

Gu Xun just let out a sigh of relief, and the next second, he felt a gust of cool wind blowing in his face.

“You think the whole world revolves around your remote control?”
