Song Jiashu wanted to take her to the hospital as soon as he heard Song Qinian wasn't feeling well.
"It's not that serious. Go to bed, I'll be fine with some hot water."
Song Jiashu poured hot water for Song Qinian and watched her drink quite a bit. Only after her complexion had recovered slightly did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, go rest. If you don't, you'll be too tired for the exam."
Song Jiashu then obediently went to bed.
After Song Jiashu fell asleep, Song Qinian slumped onto the sofa in the room, her palms covered in sweat.
That person… just the name of that person made her so terrified that she almost lost control.
She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh, hoping she would never hear that person's name again, never see that person again in this lifetime.
After the two exams on the first day were over, Song Qinian didn't go home. Instead, she booked another room, intending to spend the night with Song Jiashu and take him to his exam the next day.
Perhaps it was hearing Li Junshen's name that made Song Qinian sleep extremely restlessly. She had a dream.
She dreamt that around her bed were bloody ghost hands, each one reaching out to her, trying to drag her into an abyss.
Suddenly, her ankle was grabbed by a large hand, which tried to pull her off the bed.
Ah…
She kicked and struggled, then suddenly woke up, only to find that someone was indeed grabbing her ankle, and it wasn't a dream.
Song Qinian was greatly frightened. She reached for the bedside lamp, but as her hand was about to touch it, the man yanked her to the foot of the bed.
Let go!
Help!
She struggled desperately, grabbing whatever she could and throwing it at the person holding her. Tears welled up in her eyes from desperation.
"Try hitting me again!"
A familiar voice suddenly entered her ears. Song Qinian froze for a few seconds. After calming down slightly, she smelled the distinct scent of Shen ChiYan.
Still shaken, Song Qinian didn't care about anything else. She lunged into Shen ChiYan's arms, holding him tightly with both hands!
Shen ChiYan was about to say "You recognize me now, it's too late," but before he could speak, he felt Song Qinian trembling violently.
His chest felt damp, soaked by her tears that had permeated his shirt.
Shen ChiYan turned on the light and saw that Song Qinian's face was as pale as a ghost, her small face covered in tears.
"You're so timid, yet you dare to stay in a hotel alone!"
Shen ChiYan had returned home that evening only to find Song Qinian wasn't there. Zhang Qiaoqiao had told him she was staying in a hotel with Song Jiashu that night. Coincidentally, the news interview about the morning's college entrance examination was playing on television.
Seeing Guan Mingxu with Song Qinian, Shen ChiYan was furious. What a Song Qinian! Just ten minutes ago she was feeding him iced tea in the car, and ten minutes later she was being intimate with Guan Mingxu.
In a fit of anger, Shen ChiYan rushed to the hotel. He didn't want to alarm Song Qinian, intending to teach her a lesson directly.
He hadn't expected to scare her so badly.
"Let go!"
Song Qinian shook her head, refusing to let go, as if the moment she did, Shen ChiYan would leave and she would fall into darkness.
Although Shen ChiYan didn't love her, she gained a lot of security from him.
"Weren't you chatting quite happily with Guan Mingxu? Why isn't he with you tonight?"
Song Qinian didn't know how Shen ChiYan found out Guan Mingxu had visited her. She looked up at Shen ChiYan, then quickly gestured with her hands: "Do you like green hats?"
After gesturing, she quickly hugged Shen ChiYan's waist again, her hands clamped tightly.
Shen ChiYan was so angry his face turned green. He wanted to push Song Qinian away, but he couldn't.
"Hmph, even if I did, would you dare?"
Song Qinian shook her head. She really didn't dare.
"Let go, I'm so hot, I'm going to take a shower!"
Song Qinian looked at him cautiously, her eyes full of pathetic plea.
Shen ChiYan: "...I'm not leaving! Let go!"
Only then did Song Qinian slowly release Shen ChiYan. As he took off his clothes, he sneered, "Who gave you permission to become so dependent on me?"
He said that, but he was in a rather good mood.
While Shen ChiYan was showering, Song Qinian dared not sleep in the bed. She got up and went to the bathroom door.
When Shen ChiYan came out of the shower, he saw Song Qinian squatting by the door, hugging her knees, her head resting on them, looking like a kitten afraid of being abandoned by its owner.
"Get up!"
Song Qinian immediately stood up and pulled Shen ChiYan onto the bed.
Before Shen ChiYan could say or do anything, she tightly hugged him, resting her fluffy head on his chest, and closed her eyes.
Shen ChiYan: "...Song Qinian, who gave you the courage to sleep in the same bed as me?"
Song Qinian's body stiffened. She bit her lip and was about to pull away when Shen ChiYan pulled her back into his arms. "Seeing as you've been behaving well lately, I'll allow you to sleep with me tonight."
Song Qinian was too exhausted. Not long after Shen ChiYan finished speaking, she fell asleep.
The arousal Shen ChiYan had felt in the afternoon had not yet been relieved, and now Song Qinian had stirred it up again.
However, he was uncharacteristically considerate and did not wake Song Qinian in the middle of the night.
In the morning, when Song Qinian woke up, she saw Shen ChiYan's displeased expression and the dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing that she was still resting her head on his arm, she quickly got up and moved to the side.
Shen ChiYan moved his numb and aching arm, giving Song Qinian a cold glance. "What? Used and then discarded?"
Song Qinian was very perceptive and quietly went over to massage Shen ChiYan's arm.
When she was done, Shen ChiYan shook off Song Qinian's hand. At this moment, Gao Kunlun had delivered his clothes.
"Fifth Master, we have to leave in half an hour."
"I know!"
It was then that Song Qinian realized Shen ChiYan was going on a business trip to Haishi. As Shen ChiYan was changing, Song Qinian quickly ran downstairs, ordered breakfast, and brought it back to the room.
As soon as she entered and put down the breakfast, Shen ChiYan pinned her against the wall and kissed her deeply.
Such a passionate kiss so early in the morning was a bit too much for Song Qinian to handle.
Seeing that things were about to escalate, Shen ChiYan finally released Song Qinian. He rubbed her lips heavily with his thumb, his voice husky and deep, "You'd better behave yourself, and you must come home tonight!"
Song Qinian: "..."
Wasn't he the one who often didn't come home?
Why was he suddenly dictating her actions?
Seeing Shen ChiYan about to leave, Song Qinian grabbed him. "Have some breakfast before you go!"
Shen ChiYan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I already eat?"
Shen ChiYan left after speaking.
Song Qinian was stunned for a second.
Already eaten?
When did he eat breakfast?
Realizing that Shen ChiYan was referring to the kiss, Song Qinian's small face instantly turned crimson.
Her phone suddenly rang. Song Qinian picked it up and saw several text messages from an unknown number.
Song Qinian opened them, and her expression became extremely grim.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
There was a knock on the door. Song Qinian quickly put away her phone and went to open it.
Standing outside was Song Jiashu, looking refreshed. "Sister, you're up? I thought you were still sleeping? Hey, did you not sleep well last night? Why is your complexion so bad? Is your stomach hurting again?"
Song Qinian smiled and shook her head, then handed the breakfast she had bought for Shen ChiYan to Song Jiashu. "I bought breakfast, eat up."
"What time did you wake up? You even bought breakfast."
Song Qinian tightly gripped her phone and put it into her bag.
After accompanying Song Jiashu for breakfast, Song Qinian saw him off at the school gate.
"Jiashu, study hard, sister awaits your triumphant return."
Whether it was Song Jiashu's illusion or not, he felt that Song Qinian was preoccupied today. But he didn't have time to think, as Song Qinian pushed him into the school.
