Su Zhinian did not say anything. His hand stopped on Song Qingchun's forehead for a moment. When he saw that she was thinking about the night he came to fetch her on Christmas Eve five years ago, his heart softened. He stared at the top of her head for a while before saying, "Okay."
His gaze became extremely gentle. Under the moonlight and starry sky, he was as handsome as a god. He repeated the words she had just said, word by word, "Let's go back."
After getting into the car, Su Zhinian turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. Afraid that she was still cold, he went to the trunk to grab a blanket and passed it to Song Qingchun. Then, he glanced at the car that was parked in front of them and got out of the car. He called the towing company that he had contacted before he came.
They had both departed from the city, but the towing company was only a third of the way there. It would take at least three hours for the towing company to reach where he and Song Qingchun were.
Su Zhinian turned to look at Song Qingchun, who was sitting in the car. He was reminded of the fact that she had been stuck in the cold for several hours on the mountain road. He was afraid that she might really fall sick if she stayed there any longer. Therefore, he gave the towing company the license plate number of Song Qingchun's car and asked for a high price. They agreed to settle the paperwork the next day.
Sitting in the car, Su Zhinian briefly described the situation at the towing company to Song Qingchun. Seeing that she had no objections, he started the engine and drove back.
The car drove for about ten minutes before Song Qingchun's body started to warm up.
On this day, she had experienced a lot of unforeseen events, and her emotions had been in a constant state of tension. When she was alone on the hillside, she was afraid and cold, but she did not feel tired. Now that she had settled down, she was completely exhausted.
She felt like she had just been through a life and death ordeal. Her whole body was leaning against the passenger seat, and her whole body was limp. She did not want to move.
It was not only her body that was tired that day, but her heart as well. The heater in the car was warm, and the speed was steady. Song Qingchun, who had calmed down, fell into a deep sleep.
Half an hour after they got on the highway, Su Zhinian stopped at the first rest stop to refuel.
Before he got out of the car, he noticed the blanket that Song Qingchun was wearing had fallen off. After the car stopped, he leaned over to pull the blanket over her again.
His touch was light, but it still woke Song Qingchun up. She opened her blurry eyes and mumbled, "Are we there yet?"
"No …" Su Zhinian tucked the blanket behind her shoulders and explained softly, "… The car ran out of gas." After a pause, he added, "Go back to sleep."
His tone was as cold and emotionless as usual, but it warmed Song Qingchun's heart. She couldn't help but smile and nod at Su Zhinian before closing her eyes obediently. However, she paid close attention to the man's movements.
After Su Zhinian got out of the car and the door closed, the car became quiet. Song Qingchun was no longer sleepy. She slowly opened her eyes to stare at Su Zhinian, who stood beside the car, through the window. Then she adjusted her sitting position and was about to pick up her phone to look at the time when she realized there was a piece of white paper on her left.
