Song Qingchun was so scared that her whole body shivered. Just as she was wondering whether she should respond to Su Zhinian or not, his voice came again. "Are you asleep?"
His words were a good reminder for her, who was at a loss for what to do.
After the awkward moment between them, she was not ready to face him. If that was the case, she might as well pretend to be asleep.
With that in mind, Song Qingchun decided to maintain her silence.
After about half a minute of silence, he spoke again, "I know you're not asleep yet."
As he said that, Song Qingchun heard the doorknob turn. Then, the door was pushed open, and Su Zhinian walked in calmly and unhurriedly.
He wore a set of pure white cotton home clothes, and the expression on his face had returned to its usual cold and indifferent expression, as if the confusion from before hadn't happened at all.
As Su Zhinian approached, Song Qingchun's breathing became difficult. She lowered her head and gripped the mattress that she had brought from his bedroom. She did not have the courage to raise her head to look at him.
Compared to her nervousness, he was much calmer. He stood in front of her and stared at the top of her furry head for a moment. Then he walked to the side, pulled a chair over, and sat on her right.
Why is he sitting down? Is he going to talk to me about what happened earlier?
Before the thought formed in Song Qingchun's mind, Su Zhinian's low and cold voice said, "Just now …"
He seemed to be at a loss for words, so he stopped after the first two words. After a long time, he said, "I'm really sorry about that. It's my fault."
"No …" Song Qingchun raised her head to look at him.
She actually wanted to say, "It's fine," but she only managed to get one word out before she closed her mouth in regret. She wished she could bite her own tongue off.
He was a man, and she was a woman. Furthermore, he was the one who initiated the conversation. Even if she did not struggle, she was the one who was at a disadvantage. If she said it was fine so easily after he apologized, wouldn't it make her look like she was being too flippant?
Song Qingchun quickly pulled her gaze away from Su Zhinian's face and lowered her head again.
The room became eerily quiet, and the silence made Song Qingchun feel pressured.
She kept changing her grip on his sheets.
The atmosphere became more and more awkward, making it hard for her to breathe. Finally, when she felt like she was about to suffocate to death, he spoke again. "Did I wake you up?"
Song Qingchun knew Su Zhinian was referring to him talking in his sleep. She shook her head and repeated, "No."
She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then added a few words in a low voice, "I haven't slept yet."
Su Zhinian glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost 4 am. Even in his dream, it was only 3 am. He frowned and opened his lips to kiss her. "Why are you still up so late?"
"I …" Song Qingchun realized she had lost her sleep because she was leaving his bungalow in a few days. She bit on her lips and lied. "I stayed up late watching TV."
When he returned to the room from the study, her bedroom was extremely quiet. She was sure that she wasn't watching TV, but he didn't expose her lie. He just softly replied, "En."
