When Mianmian reached her house, the door was unlocked. She gently pushed it open, slipped inside, and closed it carefully behind her to avoid making a sound.
"WEN MIANMIAN!!"
Mianmian nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned to her right and saw Yuqi sitting cross-legged on one of the living room cushion.
"Ahhh! You scared me!" Mianmian clutched her chest.
"Where have you been?!" Yuqi stood up and marched toward her.
"Wh... what are you doing here?" Mianmian asked, stunned.
Yuqi placed her hands firmly on her hips.
"I should be sleeping right now, but your brother called me early this morning saying you didn't come home and your phone wasn't going through."
"That brat…" Mianmian muttered under her breath.
Wen Yuhan walked out of the room wearing a casual top and baggy jeans, a black one-shoulder bag slung over him. He spotted Yuqi and his elder sister glaring at each other.
"Oh, Mianmian, you're back," he said with a casual smile. He and Mianmian don't bear any resemblance, but he has a really handsome face that captivates ladies wherever he goes.
"You. Come here." Mianmian signaled him over with two fingers.
The moment he got closer, she lifted her leg and kicked him on the butt.
"Why would you disturb Yuqi and make her worry?!"
"What was I supposed to do? I called your number a hundred times!" Wen Yuhan cried out "Then suddenly some strange dude answered with this deep voice saying, 'Mianmian is asleep. Don't bother calling again.' I thought you were kidnapped! So I called Yuqi early this morning"
Mianmian blinked rapidly.
"Y... you called me?" she asked, pointing at herself in disbelief.
Yuqi crossed her arms and raised a brow.
"So? Who was that man on the phone?"
Wen Yuhan opened his mouth to continue, but...
"He doesn't know what he's talking about!" Mianmian cut in quickly. "Maybe he was sleepwalking again and imagined everything!"
"What?! I don't sleepwalk!" Wen Yuhan protested.
Mianmian shot him a threatening glare.
"Fine! Let me just show you my call history to prove it." She opened her bag and reached inside… but her fingers touched nothing.
"Huh?" She lifted the bag toward her face. Blood drained out of her face
Her phone wasn't inside.
'Shit… where's my phone?'
