Other than answering a phone call, Su Zhinian did not work for the rest of the day.
Due to his excellent hearing, he could pick up many small noises, so no matter how noisy the surroundings were, he could not be affected.
In fact, he did not know when it started, but he had developed a habit of listening to her while he worked.
When he was busy in the study, she would probably be bored alone in the bungalow, so she would grumble to herself about certain things. Most of them were trivial, but they were music to his ears.
He had been staying at the company for the past few days. Sometimes, he had to work late into the night. At that time, he would stand before the window and look out at the sleeping city, and he would miss her dearly. He missed her so much that even if she did not talk to him, as long as he could hear her voice, even if she was complaining or cursing at him, he would gladly endure it.
He knew he missed her, but he did not know how much. It was not until he saw her today that he realized how deeply he missed her.
Then, he followed her home.
Actually, he knew deep down that she did not want to go home alone; she was avoiding him. He knew that, so he allowed her to do as she pleased. She lied about her stomach ache, and he believed her. In fact, he even stayed in the study after dinner.
He just wanted to hear her voice. That way, he would feel like he was close to her … but that night, she was very quiet.
When she was washing the dishes, she did not hum; when she was applying the skincare products, she did not complain about the pimples on her face; when she was playing on her phone, she did not complain about the news being fake or how cheap it was …
He could hear many different noises in his ears, but due to her silence, his world seemed to have become deathly still.
He was clearly in a warm room, but he felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen. It was cold and chilling.
He did not know how long he had been sitting in his chair. He did not pay attention to any of the black words on the document. Just as he was about to close the document, he suddenly heard her weak voice coming from the bedroom next door. "No, no …"
Su Zhinian frowned and focused his attention on her. He realized she was crying, and her voice was shaking. "Please, don't do this … Please, please … Ah …" Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Su Zhinian flung the document in his hand away without hesitation, stood up, and rushed out of the study. He pushed open the bedroom door and rushed in.
She seemed to be having a nightmare. Her hands clutched the quilt tightly, and her whole body trembled. Her tears kept flowing, and her mouth kept muttering broken words.
Su Zhinian practically leaped to the side of the bed. With shaking fingers, he pulled her into his embrace and patted her face twice. "Tingting! Tingting! "
He called her a few times before her wet eyelashes fluttered twice and she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with panic, and her expression was a little dazed. She was probably crying too hard in her dream. After she was woken up, she kept sniffling.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Su Zhinian's large hands wiped away the tears on her face. His voice was still cold, but his tone was noticeably gentler. "It's fine, it's fine now that you're awake. Don't overthink it, it was just a dream, not real …"
