Her hand had been on his face for too long, and her palm was slightly warm, but the back of her hand was a little cold because of the cold wind outside.
Although she was two years older than him, her hands seemed a size smaller than his, and he could easily wrap them around hers.
Qin Yishu stiffened slightly when he realized what he had done.
The touch in his hand was soft, not what he had imagined, but it unexpectedly made him not want to let go.
Then he felt Chu Ci pause and seemed to turn around to look at him.
Qin Yishu pursed his lips secretly and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
But he didn't let go of her hand. He just held Chu Ci's hand and curled up slightly into the quilt. The uneasiness in his heart slowly settled down.
It seems... the night is not that scary.
Qin Yishu didn't want to let go of this subtle feeling, even if it exposed his weakness.
He shrank his face slightly into the pillow and felt Chu Ci sitting down beside his bed again, and seemed to pull the quilt for him.
Qin Yishu couldn't help but relax slowly, thinking in a daze.
Just this once.
In this dark night, no matter what happens in the future... just be cowardly this time.
Qin Yishu couldn't help but hold Chu Ci's hand a little harder.
Half of his face was buried in the pillow, which had a different mint scent than usual.
Qin Yishu had no memory of what happened after that.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains. Qin Yishu opened his eyes with a bit of confusion in his eyes, and then he became fully awake. Thinking about what happened last night, he sat up suddenly and looked to the side subconsciously.
I was the only one in the room.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was relief or loss that filled my heart.
Qin Yishu lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips. It seemed that the aura of that person was still around.
Just left without doing anything?
So... from the beginning, what did she want to do and how did she want it?
Qin Yishu put on the school uniform that the housekeeper had brought to him earlier and went downstairs. Breakfast was already ready, but Chu Ci was still nowhere to be seen.
Sitting on the chair, Qin Yishu looked at the nutritious breakfast in front of him, pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but look up at the housekeeper standing beside him.
"Brother... isn't she here?"
The housekeeper was slightly stunned before speaking, "You mean the head of the family? Things are still very busy today. The head of the family left over an hour ago. I heard from Miss An An that the head of the family hasn't had a good rest these past few days... The head of the family must have grown up and become much more sensible since the death of the master and mistress. He must know his status and know that he should cheer up. But now this kind of understanding is really worrying."
Listening to the housekeeper's words, Qin Yishu responded and lowered his head. He picked up an egg and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked weak and cowardly and did not ask any more questions.
But the look in his eyes was unpredictable.
Are you too sensible?
Wasn't the treatment she had received these days a carefully planned game?
Or does she intend to be a competent brother?
Oh.
Looking at his fingertips, Qin Yishu pursed his lips slightly and sighed very softly, but it was impossible to tell what emotion he was expressing.
"Brother...?"
