Chapter 658 Holding Hands (3)
“No need, I know what to do, you go down first.” Shen Miao said.
Mo Qing stopped talking and retreated in silence. Shen Miao looked around and her eyes fell on the half-open window in the room. Suddenly, something moved in her heart.
She told Guyu: "Open the window wider."
Guyu was surprised: "Miss, it's still windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold if you open it." She really found it very strange. Shen Miao was very afraid of cold when she was young, but for some reason, she seemed to like sleeping with the window open at night these days. But now it was still bright and clear, and she still had to open the window?
“I’m not cold,” Shen Miao said calmly, “Go open it.”
Guyu glanced at Shen Miao’s thick outer garment, but did not dare to refute, and opened the window in confusion.
Shen Miao stayed inside the house all day, glancing out the window from time to time, prompting Jingzhe and Guyu to look over there as well, expecting some flowers to bloom, but there was clearly nothing on the windowsill. Shen Miao would read for a while, then walk over to the windowsill and stand for a while, not knowing what she was looking at.
Before they knew it, it was dark. After dinner and washing up, Jingzhe and Guyu retreated. Shen Miao trimmed the oil lamp again and again, not knowing how many times. She only felt that everything outside was silent, as if the entire Ding capital had fallen into a deep sleep, and the windows were still empty.
A flicker of disappointment flashed across Shen Miao's eyes. Bored, she tapped the oil lamp with the chess pieces on the table. Small lamp petals fell onto the table and quickly disappeared. Shen Miao gradually became sleepy, so she closed her eyes and dozed off on the table.
When Xie Jingxing entered the room, he saw Shen Miao sleeping soundly on the table. The window was not closed, and the door was left open for him. The lights were swaying slightly because of the cold wind from outside that he brought in. Shen Miao was sleeping peacefully with her head buried in her arms.
He walked to Shen Miao's side, lowered his eyes to glance at Shen Miao, paused for a moment, then took off his cloak and gently covered Shen Miao with it.
Shen Miao was a vigilant person after all. When he moved her like that, her body tilted slightly to the side. She raised her head but did not open her eyes. She said drowsily, "Little Li, rub my shoulders for me."
Xie Jingxing: “…”
He simply half-leaned on the cabinet beside him, looked at Shen Miao, and said with amusement: "Hey, did you dream of being the queen again?"
This abrupt sentence made Shen Miao suddenly wake up. Just then, a cold wind blew in from outside, and she sneezed, and all her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
Xie Jingxing walked to the window and closed it, and the room suddenly became much warmer. He leaned against the window with his arms crossed and asked, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Shen Miao looked at the purple-clothed young man, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Why did you come just now?" There was actually a tone of complaint in her words. She herself had probably just woken up from a dream, and her mind was still not very clear, so she did not realize that there was anything wrong with what she said.
Xie Jingxing noticed it.
The room fell silent for a moment. He walked forward step by step until he reached the table where Shen Miao was sitting. He placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
Shen Miao suddenly came back to her senses and quickly replied, "No."
Xie Jingxing raised the corners of his lips, and said with some regret: "Oh, I heard that you waited for me at the window all day today, but it turns out that it wasn't true. Since everything is fine, I'll leave." After saying that, he made a gesture to leave.
“Wait!” Shen Miao called out to him.
Xie Jingxing asked: "What?"
"You already know, why are you asking me?" Shen Miao gritted her teeth. Facing Xie Jingxing, she couldn't be calm or gracious at all, because he was incredibly mean. She must have been too deliberate in her actions outside the window today. Xie Jingxing probably had someone at the Shen residence, so it wasn't surprising to see her turn around and inform Xie Jingxing. But Xie Jingxing clearly knew, yet he still deliberately asked, which was truly mean.
