Chapter 178 Do you still want to listen?

It was already three in the morning when we got off the plane.

As soon as Su Mi walked out of the airport, she could feel the coldness coming towards her. She pulled her coat closer, her nose felt a little itchy, and she couldn't help sneezing.

Looking up at the streets of Huacheng covered in silver, Su Mi couldn't help but think of many years ago.

The dusty memories seemed to have grown legs and slipped into her brain all at once.

She looked up at the snowflakes floating in the misty sky, raised her hand, and snowflakes fell lightly on her palm. When they encountered the warmth of her hand, the snow melted quickly. In this scene, a picture came to her mind.

When the first snow fell that year, she held a snowflake in her hand and said to him with a smile, "This is frost, or it could be a cold and sharp blade without any temperature, but now I have melted it."

At that time, Xiao Xuanjin even teased her, "Are you stupid?"

Yes, she was stupid enough. After going around in circles, she ended up back here.

I didn't bring anything with me, not even a suitcase, and I came back empty-handed.

Hail a taxi.

After getting in the car, the driver asked her, "Girl, where are you going?"

"Go... to Jinhua Residence."

That was the wedding room that the Xiao family prepared for them when they got married. She remembered that Xiao Xuanjin lived there some time ago.

She hoped he was still there. It was too late now, and she couldn't call Tian Xin to check his location.

After hearing the location, the driver looked at her again before starting the car.

The streets were spacious and quiet at night, and the car didn't encounter any traffic lights along the way, and soon arrived at Jinhua Residence.

After paying the money and pushing open the car door, Su Mi looked at the porch, outer wall, and gate in front of her, which looked like a palace. She was shocked by the familiar luxury.

Why does it look so similar to Su Mansion?

If it weren't for the biting cold in the air reminding her, she would have thought she was home again.

No wonder the driver had that expression when he heard the name Jinhua Residence. This place is so gorgeous.

When she pushed the door open, the guard who was patrolling at night came out.

Seeing her, several people looked at each other, then lowered their heads in tacit understanding, "Young Madam."

Do you all recognize her?

It should be Xiao Xuanjin who greeted him.

Well, she thought she would have to explain herself for a long time. "Where is your young master?"

"at home."

"That's good. Please help me lead the way."

"good."

The guard led her through the front hall to the atrium. Su Mi was dazed the whole way. Even the layout inside was so similar to the Su Mansion.

It seems like the owner did it on purpose.

No matter what, she felt particularly kind and warm when she saw it. She had the illusion of finding her home in a foreign place, and even the cold wind around her became much milder.

Entering the living room, a familiar figure walked out.

Su Mi looked at the person and reacted for a moment. She remembered that she was Aunt Niu, the aunt who took care of Xiao Xuanjin's daily life in the western-style building many years ago.

Aunt Niu came over and looked at the woman in front of her. Although she had no makeup on and her face looked a little haggard, her facial features were still stunning at first glance. She was as beautiful as before, but now her youthfulness had faded and she had gained the charm of time. She thought to herself that the young master had good taste.

"Miss Su, oh no, I should call you Madam. We meet again."

"Aunt Niu, do you still remember me?"

"Of course, the young master only took you home, so I naturally remember it."

Su Mi glanced upstairs, "Aunt Niu, where is he?"

"I just went to bed after taking the medicine."

"Take medicine? What's wrong with him?"

At this point, Aunt Niu sighed, "Young Master drank too much yesterday, and then stood outside in the snow, getting caught in the wind, and he fell ill today."

Drinking? Yesterday? What was he doing standing outside?

Su Mi was anxious. She went over and held Aunt Niu's arm and said, "Take me to see him quickly."

"Okay, Madam, come with me."

The bedrooms are on the third floor.

When they reached the door, Aunt Niu turned around and said, "Madam, the young master is inside, please go in."

After saying that, she left.

Su Mi opened the door without hesitation. The room was so dark that he couldn't see where to go.

She turned on the screen of her mobile phone and, with the dim light, finally walked to the bed.

Xiao Xuanjin was indeed asleep, lying flat on his back, with a few buttons of his pajamas open and the quilt covering only his abdomen. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes drooped, and he was sleeping peacefully.

Su Mi squatted beside the bed, raised her hand and touched his forehead, which was a little hot.

She turned on a small light, found a cooling patch from the medicine box nearby, tore off the outer packaging, and applied it to his forehead to cool him down.

I bent down, pulled up the quilt, and covered him tightly, thinking that sweating would help his recovery.

After turning off the lights, she lay down on her side with her arm resting on the corner of the quilt, worried that he would pull it again.

I was so tired from the long journey that as soon as my head touched the pillow, I felt sleepy and my eyelids were drooping.

Before going to bed, she barely mustered up a bit of energy, raised her hand and touched his forehead. Fortunately, it was not as hot as before.

Now I could sleep peacefully, but just as I fell asleep, I felt my body sink.

She was pressed so hard that she couldn't breathe. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xuanjin crawling on her like an octopus, with his head resting on her chest, using her as a human cushion to sleep.

Is he going to crush her to death?

Su Mi pushed him, but he still didn't move.

If this goes on, when he recovers tomorrow, she'll have to wait for him to collect his body.

He used some strength and finally pushed the person down.

Maybe because the noise was too loud, he opened his eyes.

Although the light in the room was dim, Su Mi could still feel the tiny light in his eyes. It was not as obvious as dim stars, but it was enough for her to be sure that he was looking at her.

After a brief pause, neither of them spoke.

Su Mi felt inexplicably uneasy in such silence.

Unsure if he was awake now, she asked tentatively, "Are you awake?"

He didn't answer and turned his back to her.

He also raised his hand and tore off the cooling patch on his head.

Seeing this, Su Mi realized that he must have woken up.

Yes, once the fever goes away, the person will definitely wake up.

She was no longer sleepy and turned sideways to look at his back.

Broad shoulders look good and make you look stylish when wearing clothes, but there is a drawback: it is very uncomfortable when sleeping on your side.

Su Mi always felt that Xiao Xuanjin's current posture must be uncomfortable. After all, he always lay flat in the past. However, he would rather make himself uncomfortable in order to avoid seeing her.

She knew before coming that he would definitely be unhappy, she anticipated it, so at this moment, it was easier for her to accept it.

At least the current situation is much better than she expected. It's already very good that Xiao Xuanjin didn't kick her out directly.

The root cause of the trouble between them was that she had deceived him in the past. Now, she was exacerbating the old wound by cutting into his flesh and bleeding. He must be uncomfortable. If it were her, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be angry.

What's more, she always felt that things were not simple, and he seemed to have misunderstood something, not just that she broke the appointment.

Thinking of this, she moved closer, raised her arm and put it on his waist, and said with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, "I can answer your question now. Do you... still... want to hear it?"
