Xu Jiamu thought that Song Xiangsi had run out on her own again, so he rushed over to Father Song's bedroom and pushed the door open.
Song Xiangsi, who was lying on the bed, jumped in fright at Xu Jiamu's sudden actions. She abruptly sat up, and looked at him suspiciously. "What's wrong?"
Xu Jiamu secretly let out a sigh of relief. "Nothing."
Then, he closed the door and tidied up the dining table.
When Xu Jiamu returned to Song Xiangsi's bedroom, there was a deafening clap of thunder outside the window. He paused for a moment in the living room, then turned to Father Song's bedroom. When he pushed the door open, he saw Song Xiangsi curled up on the bed, shivering.
Xu Jiamu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He closed the door and quickly walked over to the bedside. "Xiangsi?"
Xu Jiamu called her name a few times before she lifted her head from the blankets. She stared at him for about half a minute, then gently moved her lips. "Stay with me for a while, alright?"
Xu Jiamu's heart ached even more. Without a second thought, he nodded and said one word. "Alright."
Perhaps it was because of Xu Jiamu's presence, Song Xiangsi, who hadn't had a good rest for the past few days, quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, the sun was shining brightly outside the window. The weather was perfect, and there was no sign of bad weather at all.
Song Xiangsi slept deeply and for a long time. She moved her body lazily, then turned around to see Xu Jiamu sitting by the side of the bed, leaning against the wall with his clothes on.
Song Xiangsi then remembered what happened last night.
Actually, she never liked to be seen as weak. Last night, because of her father's funeral, she was in so much pain that she said those words to him. She thought that he would leave after she fell asleep, but she never imagined that he would actually sit there and watch over her for the entire night.
Xu Jiamu's face looked very pale, and there were dark circles around his eyes.
Recently, he had been working a hundred times harder than her. After her father's death, he had done everything on his own. No matter how tired he was, she didn't see the slightest bit of impatience on his face, nor did she hear a word of complaint from his mouth.
Perhaps it was because Xu Jiamu was asleep, but this was the first time Song Xiangsi had looked at him so closely since their reunion.
His facial features were the same as before, but the overall feeling he gave off was much more mature and steady.
He looked very tired. He must have been exhausted during this period of time.
Song Xiangsi couldn't help but raise her hand to caress Xu Jiamu's furrowed brows. Just as her fingertips touched his skin, a phone suddenly rang.
Song Xiangsi's hand trembled, and she hurriedly retracted her hand. She followed the ringtone to find his phone on the bedside table. On the screen, there were two words: Sisi.
Sisi … it was exactly the same as her nickname.
Was it that girl called Yang Sisi?
Song Xiangsi lowered her eyelids and quickly turned her head. She stood up and walked out of the bedroom. Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Xu Jiamu being woken up by the ringtone. He groggily picked up the phone. "Hello? What's wrong? "
"Mhm … I'm not in Beijing, I'm out of town … I don't know when I'll be back. So … I'm a little sleepy. Mhm, okay. Bye bye, see you back in Beijing. "
