Everyone knew that Song Li and Huo Yanqing were inseparable.
Song Li said, "When I went to the military academy, Yang Ji stayed by The Fifth Lord's side for a while. I've already told Yang Ji not to show up for the time being."
"Okay." Shuxin was relieved.
After Song Li left, Shuxin fetched a basin of hot water for Huo Yanqing to wipe his body. She had accidentally left a scratch on his chest when they were making love in the morning.
No wonder he had kissed her so passionately. No wonder he had pestered her for more. No wonder he had asked her to say that she loved him over and over again …
Shuxin had held back her tears for the entire day. In the dead of night, they rolled down her cheeks.
She hurriedly wiped them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed down.
Shuxin looked up and took a few deep breaths. She forced her red eyes open and murmured, "I won't cry. I know you'll be fine."
After wiping Huo Yanqing's body, Shuxin washed up. Then, she gently lay down beside Huo Yanqing and stared at his well-defined profile in a daze.
After a long time, she muttered to herself, "Yanqing, I'll eat well and sleep well. You have to wake up soon too, okay?"
Day after day passed. Shuxin had been very calm. She ate, slept, and took care of Huo Yanqing. Only she knew how anxious, scared, and helpless she felt as time passed.
…
Five days after Huo Yanqing's surgery, Shuxin didn't take the final exam.
Huo Jibai recalled Shuxin's abnormal behavior that day and became more and more worried. After the exam, Huo Jibai went to the Shu family's house.
Shu Mengling opened the door and saw Huo Jibai standing at the door. Her heart started to race. "Huo Jibai, you …"
"Is Shuxin at home?" Huo Jibai interrupted Shu Mengling.
A dark light flashed through Shu Mengling's eyes. She smiled and said, "Sister isn't home. Do you need something from her?"
When Huo Jibai saw that Shuxin was not around, he turned around and was about to leave. Shu Mengling hurriedly pulled him back. "Maybe my sister will be back in a while. Why don't you go into the house and wait for her?"
Although Shuxin hadn't been to the Huo Jibai House for a long time, she had finally seen him. Naturally, she had to think of a way to make him stay.
Huo Jibai paused for a moment, then pulled his arm out and turned to enter the villa.
Shu Mengling's eyes were full of smiles. She closed the door and followed Huo Jibai. "Drinks, juice, coffee. What do you want?"
"No need." Huo Jibai looked around the villa but didn't see anyone. "Is there no one in your house?"
Shu Mengling said gently, "Dad is still at work. Grandma went out for a walk. The nanny is cooking in the kitchen."
Huo Jibai sat down on the sofa.
Shu Mengling went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Huo Jibai. Then, she sat down not far from him. The television was still on. She picked up the remote control and asked Huo Jibai, "What do you want to watch? I'll change it for you."
"No need." Huo Jibai stared at his phone and scrolled through Weibo. He felt someone's gaze on him. He looked up and met Shu Mengling's blazing eyes. Huo Jibai raised his eyebrows unhappily. He lowered his head and exited Weibo. He opened his contact list and dialed Shuxin's number.
He put the phone to his ear, got up, and walked to the window. The call went through. "Where are you?"
The other end was silent for two seconds. "… At home."
"Which home?"
"…"
"The Shu Family or the Family Huo?"
"I have something to do. I'll hang up first."
