Pei Xi quickly raised her hand and rubbed her eyelids hard. She went out and saw that the living room was dark. In the dim light, a tall figure was standing at the door.
"Jiang Cheng?" she murmured.
Jiang Cheng hesitated and hummed in response. He seemed a little stunned, not expecting her to be here.
Pei Xi ran over quickly, hugged him tightly, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her forehead against his chest.
“Ah Cheng.”
Her voice was trembling with tears.

Jiang Cheng suddenly tightened his arms around her, as if he wanted to squeeze her into his very bones.
