Chapter 178 Do You Still Want to Listen?

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

As soon as Su Mi walked out of the airport, she could feel the cold air blowing towards her face. She tightened her coat, her nose felt itchy, and she couldn't help sneezing.

Looking up at the streets of Hwaseong wrapped in silver, Su Mi couldn't help but think back to many years ago.

The dusty memories seemed to have grown legs and all of them slipped into her brain.

She looked up at the snowflakes floating in the misty sky, raised her hands, and snowflakes fell lightly on her palms. When they encountered the heat of her hands, the snow quickly melted. At 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 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, not even a suitcase, and I came back empty-handed.

Stopped 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 and disturb Tian Xin to check his location.

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

The streets were wide and quiet at night, and the car did not encounter any traffic lights along the way, so it soon arrived at Jinhua Residence.

After paying the money and opening the car door, Su Mi looked at the porch, exterior walls, and gate in front of her. It looked like a palace, and she was shocked by the familiar luxury.

Why does it look so much like Su Mansion?

If the chill in the air hadn't reminded her, she might 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, the guard who was on night patrol 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 said hello.

Well, she thought she would have to spend a lot of time explaining. "Where is your young master?"

"at home."

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

"good."

The guard led her through the vestibule 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 this on purpose.

No matter what, she felt that he was particularly friendly and heartwarming, and had the illusion of finding her home in a foreign land. 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, then 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 was bare-faced and looked a little haggard, her facial features were still stunning at first glance. She was as beautiful as before, but now her youthful look 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 now. We meet again."

"Aunt Niu, do you still remember me?"

"Of course, Young Master only took you home once, 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 stood outside in the snow, and was exposed to the wind, so he fell ill today."

Drinking? Yesterday? What was he doing standing outside?

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

"Okay, Madam, follow me."

The bedroom is 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 pushed open the door without hesitation. The room was so dark that he couldn't see anywhere.

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 undone, the quilt covering only his abdomen, his eyes closed, his eyelashes drooping, sleeping soundly.

Su Mi squatted beside the bed, raised his 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 stuck it on 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 arms resting on the corner of the quilt, worried that he would pull it off again.

After a long journey, I felt sleepy as soon as my head touched the pillow and my eyelids were drooping.

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

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

The pressure made her unable to breathe. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xuanjin climbing on her like an octopus, with his head resting on her chest, and sleeping with her as a human cushion.

Is he going to crush her to death?

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

If this goes on, he will recover tomorrow and she will have to collect his body.

I used some force and finally pushed the person down.

Maybe because of the commotion, 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.

It was so quiet that Su Mi felt inexplicably uneasy.

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

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

He even 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 subsides, the person will definitely wake up.

She was no longer sleepy and turned 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 not to see her.

She knew before she came that he would be unhappy. She had expected this, so it was easier for her to accept it at this moment.

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 and making him feel even worse. He must be feeling 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?"
