Chapter 963: That's It for Tonight
Mo Ningyi was still playing chess in a leisurely manner, and it didn't seem to be affected in the slightest because the door was locked.
The old man didn't open the door, and Su Chenxia had no choice but to wait to see if there was a solution later.
What she thought was that it was only noon, and she and Mo Ningyi were both inside, and when dinner time came, the old man would definitely let someone bring dinner, right?
It doesn't matter if she's hungry, but Mo Ningyi is the old man's own grandson and the only heir of the Mo family, so the old man is always reluctant to starve him, right?
Thinking about it like this, Su Chenxia calmed down.
In the afternoon, she even played a few rounds with Mo Ningyi.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that at night, there was no footsteps in the corridor outside the room.
The old man didn't seem to mean to have food delivered.
Su Chenxia was a little expectant, thinking that maybe if she waited, someone would come.
However, an hour passed, and no one came.
Two hours later, the hallway was still cold and cold.
Even at nine o'clock in the evening, dinner time had already passed, and there was still no sound of movement outside the door.
Such quietness made Su Chenxia a little panicked.
It's bedtime, isn't it true that the old man really didn't plan to let someone open this door tonight?
What if no one has been taking care of her and Mo Ningyi?
Mo Ningyi fiddled with the chess piece's hand and slowly stopped.
He didn't seem to expect the old man to be so ruthless this time.
There was nothing to eat in the room, only the lunch he sent to Su Chenxia at noon, a few slices of toast, a few fruits, and a cup of yogurt.
Su Chenxia didn't finish eating at noon, and there were still two slices of toast left.
Mo Ningyi brought her unfinished lunch, and handed her the rest of the toast, "Fill your stomach first." ”
This was the only thing that could be eaten in the whole room, and he gave it all to Su Chenxia as if he wouldn't be hungry.
Su Chenxia broke the toast, divided one slice into two parts, and handed him half of it.
Mo Ningyi seemed to be stunned for a moment, staring at the toast in her hand for a long time, and his eyes slowly softened.
"Eat yours well, I'm not hungry!" Without taking it, he stood up and headed for the balcony.
Looking to the room to the left and right, he seemed to be thinking about how to solve tonight's problem.
Su Chenxia followed him out, leaned over his head and looked at the room next to him, "Can I go over?" ”
The rooms of the Mo family, each of them are very large, and the distance between the balconies is also open, unlike the morning garden, which is next to each other, and when he wants to cross the room, Su Chenxia can easily climb over.
Mo Ningyi's face was slightly calm, and he seemed to be a little entangled in this question.
Su Chenxia stared at the wide distance between the two rooms, and reluctantly took back what he had just said, "Let's think of other ways!" ”
Back in the room, she walked to the door, which she had tried to pull open for the umpteenth time today.
But the door was still tightly locked, no matter how she pulled it, it was still tightly closed.
"That's it for tonight!" Mo Ningyi seemed to have given up on finding a way and sat down on the sofa.
Closing his eyes, he was already dozing.
Su Chenxia just stood and didn't make any movements.
There are places to sit in the room, one is a sofa and the other is a bed.
She was at the door, and she didn't go anywhere.
She made Mo Ningyi frown.
After stiffening with her for a while, his closed eyes suddenly opened.
