"Brother Yinan and I, at the very least, won't be in an unfamiliar situation. So, let's find another time … on the weekend? Sigh, on the weekend then … "
Due to the cold, Song Qingchun shivered. She hugged her shoulders and ran back to the bedroom. She slammed the balcony door shut with a loud bang.
In the study.
Su Zhinian lowered his head and stared at the document on the table. His expression was as calm as still water, but the hand that gripped the pen started to turn white. Finally, with a crack, the pen snapped in half.
It was this familiar scene again … When he lived at the Song family's house, he had endured this scene many times.
However, no matter how many times, the pain in his heart was the same.
Like a statue, Su Zhinian stared at the document motionlessly. It was not until the night darkened, the girl next door fell asleep, and the dogs stopped barking that he blinked lightly. He raised his head to stare out the window at the night sky, and his expression was one of desolation.
After Song Qingchun decided on the time to confess, she changed her mind before she went to bed.
She had always been like this, be it many years ago or later. Whenever she had the intention to confess, she would hesitate and lack the courage to do so.
However, even though Song Qingchun was not ready to confess, she still made time to return to the Song family that Sunday.
Song Menghwa had been discharged from the hospital, but he still had medicine on him. Every few days, the family doctor would come to check his blood pressure.
When Song Qingchun arrived, Song Menghwa was taking his afternoon nap. Her sister-in-law, Fang Rou, was in the kitchen, watching the housekeeper cook the herbal porridge.
The first to see Song Qingchun was a new maid. Fang Rou had hired her from her hometown. She was one year younger than Song Qingchun. Due to her poor family background, she had dropped out of school early, but she was smart and diligent. She was very likable.
"Young Miss, you're home?" The maid greeted Song Qingchun with a smile before turning around to yell into the kitchen, "Madam, the young miss is back."
About half a minute later, Fang Rou came out from the kitchen. She did not forget to remind the housekeeper to keep an eye on the fire. Then, with a friendly smile, she said, "Qingchun, why didn't you tell me you were coming home?"
Song Qingchun greeted her sister-in-law and explained, "I was passing by your house and remembered I needed to grab something, so I turned around."
"Have you had lunch?"
"Yes, I have."
Fang Rou nodded and looked Song Qingchun up and down. "I see you've lost some weight. Is it because …" Song Menghwa continued, but Fang Rou purposely lowered her voice and leaned into Song Qingchun's ear to add, "… Su Zhinian has been wronged?"
"No, he hasn't been feeling well recently. I've been taking care of him for a period of time. Maybe he hasn't rested well." Song Qingchun smiled and consoled Fang Rou. Then she pointed upstairs and said, "Big Sis, I have something urgent to attend to later, so I'm going upstairs to grab some stuff."
Fang Rou smiled and said, "Go."
Song Qingchun ran up the stairs. Fang Rou was still behind her, and she said, "Slow down."
Even though Song Qingchun did not live at the Song family's house, her bedroom was cleaned every day, so it was very clean.
