Su Yue replied, ‘We are going there for Christmas . ’
After she replied, she locked the screen and cast her phone aside . She decided not to use her phone anymore .
She pulled the blanket over her head .
Under the blanket, she closed her eyes and forced herself not to let her thoughts run wild .
She counted quietly in her heart . One… two… three…
She wanted to stop herself from missing the person she shouldn’t be thinking of at all .
‘Jiaojiao!’
Oh no . She didn’t contact Jiaojiao today .
Su Yue flung her blanket away as she fumbled for her phone . She typed a text swiftly .
‘Jiaojiao, are you asleep?’
It was only half-past nine, he should probably be awake .
As expected, Jiao Chen replied in no time . ‘I’m still awake . Why aren’t you asleep?’
Su Yue typed, ‘I can’t fall asleep since I slept too much in the day . ’
Jiao Chen typed, ‘Are you a pig?’
Su Yue replied, ‘You are a pig, not me! What are you doing?’
Jiao Chen typed, ‘I’m preparing for the class tomorrow . You?’
Su Yue typed, ‘Chatting with you . ’
Without waiting for Jiao Chen to reply, she typed, ‘Jiaojiao, did you miss me today?’
Su Yue didn’t receive Jiao Chen’s reply, despite waiting for quite some time . Gradually, Su Yue dozed off .
After some time, she opened her eyes . The lights in her room were still switched on . She was getting sleepy, so she turned off the lights .
She accidentally pressed her phone and the screen lit up . It was almost midnight .
It surprised Su Yue that she had slept for two hours . It felt like she had merely closed her eyes .
She saw a text from Jiao Chen .
‘Come out . I’m outside your house . ’
The text was sent 20 minutes ago .
Su Yue’s sleepiness promptly vanished as she widened her eyes in shock . She read Jiao Chen’s text again, still in disbelief .
‘Come out . I’m outside your house…’
Her house? Su Yue snapped out of her daze and dialed Jiao Chen’s number .
After a few rings, Jiao Chen answered in his usual gentle and pleasant voice .
His voice sounded rather nasal and Su Yue gripped her phone tightly . She asked apprehensively, “You are outside my house? My third sister-in-law’s house?”
Even until now, she didn’t think it was her house . It really didn’t belong to her .
All the servants addressed her as either Little Mistress or Little Miss, but she didn’t feel like she was one mistress in the family .
So she was doubtful when Jiao Chen said that he was waiting outside her house .
Su Yan’s apartment seemed more comfortable and relaxed as compared to this house .
Jiao Chen responded curtly with a ‘Yes’ .
“Wait for me!”
Su Yue got off her bed with her phone . She dashed to the door after slipping into her bedroom slippers . She hurried down the stairs .
The living room was empty and dimly lit .
Su Yue ran to the main doors and opened it .
“Jiaojiao!”
She ran to the courtyard and peered beyond the iron gates .
A towering figure was standing by the roadside . Jiao Chen was holding his phone, and the weak light from his phone illuminated his gorgeous face .
Su Yue really felt like crying at that moment .
She had no idea why, but her eyes were glistening .
She pressed a button at the side to open the gates before sprinting towards him .
