After finishing her ice cream, Wen Xiao’ai fell asleep on his back.
Jun Moyan slowed his pace, carrying her all the way back to Wu Garden.
Sohow, as he carried Wen Xiao’ai in the direction of ho, Jun Moyan felt an indescribable sensation, only feeling it was very beautiful.
Looking at Wu Garden still lit in the distance, he felt an unprecedented sense of belonging.
In the past, Wu Garden was just a place where he stayed, ate, and slept, cold and empty, with nothing inside.
He used to leave early and return late, entering and leaving without any particular feelings.
But now, Wu Garden was not just a place, it was his and Xiaoguai’s ho.
Eating and sleeping were no longer solitary activities.
When he went out and left her alone at ho, he would feel uneasy and worried; coming ho, he would feel excited and anxious to see her.
It turned out that having soone to care about didn’t necessarily an a burden or vulnerability.
Qing Yi sat on the edge of the bed, holding her phone, occasionally lighting up the screen to check the ti.
Waiting for soone really felt terrible.
Qing Yi unlocked her phone, scrolled to the contacts, and found Ghost General’s phone number.
After hesitating for a while, she still made the call...
The call connected quickly, so quickly that it surprised Qing Yi.
"What’s up?"
Unlike the expected drunken and unconscious voice, Ghost General’s voice was clear, and it was so quiet around him that his footsteps could be heard through the phone.
"When are you coming back?" Qing Yi asked.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."
Ghost General didn’t reply but started counting down instead.
Qing Yi was puzzled and was about to ask what it ant, but the door was pushed open, and Ghost General had just counted to one.
Qing Yi stared at him standing in the doorway, one hand holding the phone, and carrying so items, dumbfounded.
Ghost General smiled, walked in, and closed the door.
Still stunned, Qing Yi hung up the phone and stood up.
"Why are you answering the phone at the door?"
"It’s your call, so of course I had to answer," Ghost General said as he placed the items he was carrying on the table.
"Knowing you haven’t slept, I brought you so snacks."
After saying that, he turned and searched for clothes to prepare for a shower.
"You didn’t go to the bar?" Qing Yi didn’t sll any alcohol.
"No, I’ll try to drink less from now on, try not to go to the bar."
"Really?" Qing Yi couldn’t quite believe it.
He had said before he couldn’t live without alcohol.
"Hmm."
The unexpected surprise left Qing Yi a bit unresponsive.
Watching Ghost General moving around the room, Qing Yi smiled.
Ghost General took his clothes and went into the bathroom, soon returning.
"Can you make a bowl of noodles? I’m a bit hungry."
"Okay."
Qing Yi quickly agreed.
Ghost General smiled and went to shower.
Two days had passed, and that afternoon, Qing Yi finished having Jun Moyan sign so docunts and reminded him, "Third Master, today is the 15th."
Another family dinner.
Family dinners were always the most troubling day of the month for Jun Moyan.
He didn’t want to go back and face the cold irony and sarcasm from Jun Wuyang and Mrs. Jun, feeling sowhat weary at heart.
But he missed his elderly grandfather and his second brother, who was not in good health.
Last month he hadn’t returned, and surely his grandfather and second brother were worried about him, but they also feared he would suffer at ho, so they said nothing.
Jun Moyan glanced at the ti and said, "Let’s see."
There were still a few hours to go, he would decide later.
Around five o’clock, Jun Moyan received a call from Jun Wuchen.
He knew without asking what it was about.
Indeed—
"Moyan, are you coming ho today?"
Jun Moyan didn’t reply.
"Big Brother and Grandma said you have a girlfriend, is it true?"
