"Knock knock"——
There were continuous knocks on the door, but no response from inside the house.
Qin Hezhou's expression darkened. He even felt the urge to remove the electronic door lock. He had entered the wrong password multiple times, and now he had only one chance left. If that didn't work, he would have to find someone to remove the lock.
Previously in the hospital, Pei Zhiyu mentioned some of her habits in setting passwords.
He had just tried all the possibilities he could think of, but none of them were right. Suddenly, a strong intuition came over him.
Qin Hezhou pressed the door lock again with his fingertips and entered the password according to his heart.
Just when he was ready to be disappointed, the door lock made a "click" sound and then opened.
Seeing this, his worried expression finally showed a hint of surprise as his expectations were satisfied.
No one would have thought that Pei Zhiyu, who said he would not use the anniversary as a password, actually set the day they reunited and got their marriage certificate as the password for his home door.
Thinking of this, Qin Hezhou felt soft in his heart.
But this joy didn't last long. The moment he pushed open the door, he was met with a scene of chaos. Various documents were scattered all over the floor, as if they had been forcibly raided by robbers.
No, no...
The tension and worry were like a sudden storm that washed away all his other emotions.
He walked in with his shoes on, calling out to Pei Zhiyu, but all he got in response was silence.
Without caring about too much at the moment, Qin Hezhou rushed straight to the bedroom, turned the handle and pushed the door open. The layout inside was exactly the same as in the photo Pei Zhiyu took of him that day.
Old-fashioned red four-piece bed set.
However, the quilt with dark patterns was not spread flat on the bed, but was rolled into a shape like a spring roll, with two toes exposed at the end of the "spring roll".
She's still here, just asleep.
"call--"
As soon as this realization came to his mind, Qin Hezhou immediately relaxed, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
God knows how he spent this time in the hospital.
He was worried about everyone around Pei Zhiyu, fearing that Cheng Xiuqi's kidnapping would happen again, and he became nervous when he didn't receive her reply.
The experience of losing and regaining something is enough once. If he loses it again, he might go crazy.
Pei Zhiyu was sleeping soundly. Thinking of the messy documents he had just seen, he thought that he might have been very busy recently.
How tired must you be to be so sleepy?
He tiptoed towards the big bed, then slowly squatted down, keeping the distance just right, and stared at her quiet and peaceful sleeping face in a trance.
Wrapped in the big red quilt, only half of the head and the eyes were exposed.
Maybe she was dreaming, her eyelashes trembled slightly.
The lights in the room were on, reflecting on her eyelashes, leaving behind a shadow that flickered like a fluttering butterfly, and her rosy face was the pale pink flower field that the butterflies longed for.
In addition to her head, her feet were also exposed.
"You said you were scared. Isn't that quite bold?" Qin Hezhou murmured softly, recalling a scene that happened not long ago when the two of them slept in the same bed in the hospital.
One night, he was sleeping soundly, and accidentally rolled up Pei Zhiyu's quilt, causing her calves to be exposed.
Almost instantly, she jumped up from the bed and pulled the quilt back over her with a look of horror on her face.
Then, as if she was afraid that this would happen again, she turned around and lay down to face Qin Hezhou, leaning hard into his arms.
It would be wrong if Qin Hezhou didn't wake up.
Faced with this sudden embrace, he subconsciously hugged her, his eyes still unclear, and asked with a hoarse voice, "What time is it? Why are you still not sleeping? Why are you so restless tonight?"
Before he could finish his words, Pei Zhiyu elbowed him.
The whole person woke up instantly.
Then he frowned and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"
Pei Zhiyu's expression remained normal after beating him up, without any unnaturalness. He even hugged him tighter: "If you are used to rolling up the quilt, just hold me tighter. I will be scared if you let my legs be exposed in the middle of the night."
Qin Hezhou, who has always been a firm believer in non-ghosts and gods, couldn't quite understand what Pei Zhiyu was afraid of, and asked directly.
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's just that... whenever any part of my body except my head is exposed outside the quilt, I always think that a ghost will suddenly jump out and grab me."
As she spoke, she tightened her grip around the person.
Although Qin Hezhou didn't believe it, he still hugged her back and gently stroked her back with his hands.
Like soothing a child to sleep.
I was afraid then, why am I not afraid now?
He couldn't help but smile and wanted to wrap her feet in the quilt as well.
Before Keren could move, Pei Zhiyu's cell phone on the ground suddenly vibrated loudly.
This scared Qin Hezhou, and he immediately picked up the phone and turned it to mute, for fear of disturbing Pei Zhiyu's rest. But when he turned around, he saw that she was sleeping soundly and was not affected at all.
"So you're wearing earplugs, no wonder."
No wonder I sent her so many messages and called her so many times, but all of them fell into oblivion and there was no response.
The screen lit up again, and among the unread messages and calls, the majority were his.
The others included her assistant named Qiao Yue, and a person with the note "Mr. Hong". A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know which Mr. Hong is so tactless to call so many times so early in the morning.
He called back without hesitation.
The faint sound of conversation seemed to be transmitted into my ears through a layer of barrier.
