She had been silent for a long time, and from the expression on her face, she seemed to be struggling with something.
Su Zhinian lowered his gaze to suppress the anxiety in his heart. Then, he raised his head to interrupt Song Qingchun's thoughts. "The laundry is ready."
Song Qingchun came to, but before she could say anything, Su Zhinian added lightly, "It's getting late, I should go to bed."
He actually didn't want to let her go so early, but he couldn't read her mind. If she was testing him later, and his answer was wrong, it would only make her more suspicious.
He could not let her know that he was the person she had been looking for.
Song Qingchun could hear the underlying meaning in Su Zhinian's words.
Even though she still had many questions and questions in her heart, she had not answered them herself, much less asked Su Zhinian.
Now that he said he wanted to rest, she couldn't just stay at his house and think about it. Thus, she temporarily suppressed the inexplicable doubts in her heart and said, "I'll go take a look." Then she got up and walked out of the study.
…
Song Qingchun changed into her clothes. Before she went upstairs to say goodbye to Su Zhinian, she poured him a glass of warm water and reminded him to take his medicine.
Su Zhinian nodded slightly, but he did not do as she said. Instead, he stood up and said, "I'll drive you home."
"It's okay." Song Qingchun quickly shook her head. "You're still recovering, so you'd better go to bed. I've already called a taxi; it'll be there soon."
Song Qingchun was afraid that Su Zhinian would insist, so she added, "I'll text you when I get home."
Su Zhinian did not compromise because of Song Qingchun's insistence, but because his fever kept coming back and forth. He was afraid that something might happen when he was driving in his exhausted state, so he agreed.
…
Even though Su Zhinian did not drive Song Qingchun, he still put a jacket over his shoulders and walked her to the car.
When Song Qingchun bade him farewell, a light sadness rose in her heart.
Her mood, which had lightened up from the long conversation with him, started to drop. As she got further away from Su Zhinian's home, her mood became heavier and heavier.
When she reached home, Song Qingchun lay in bed. Out of habit, when she reached for her phone, the first thing that came to her mind was to send Su Zhinian a message that said, "I'm home." Then, she opened Weibo.
Her phone clearly had the notification tone turned on, but when she browsed through the trending news, she would return to the desktop from time to time to see if there were any new messages.
About five minutes later, there was still no reply from Su Zhinian.
Song Qingchun didn't even have the mood to look at Weibo anymore. Even the drowsiness that she felt after a sleepless night had disappeared.
She tossed and turned on the bed, glancing at her phone from time to time. Just as she was about to get up from the bed and head to the balcony to get some fresh air, her phone rang.
Song Qingchun practically collapsed onto the bed to grab her phone. When she saw it was indeed a message from Su Zhinian, her lips curved into a smile.
"Sleep early."
Su Zhinian's reply was as concise as her previous message; it was only four characters.
