Did he forget to wake up?
Su Yue coaxed Xiaojiao and said, “Daddy woke up really early today . ”
Xiaojiao nodded and continued to brush her teeth .
Xiaojiao stood on a high stool next to Su Yue as they brushed their teeth in front of a mirror .
After brushing their teeth and washing up, Su Yue carried Xiaojiao out of the room . The first thing she did was to glance at Jiao Chen’s room .
His door was shut .
He was still sleeping?
These few days, he had been busy with the orphanage and his job at the school . He must be exhausted .
Her heart went out to him, and she trod lightly across the living room .
“Daddy is too tired and he went back to sleep . So Xiaojiao, let’s be quiet alright? Mommy will make breakfast for you now . ”
She was afraid that Xiaojiao would be too loud and might disturb Jiao Chen’s sleep . So, she placed her down and gave her a firm instruction .
Xiaojiao obediently nodded . “Okay . I will be quiet . ”
She stretched her hands and picked up a monkey pillow on the sofa . She hugged the monkey and pressed her lips against it .
She sealed her lips so that she wouldn’t disturb her daddy .
Su Yue was pleased to see how sensible Xiaojiao was . She stroked her hair before going to the kitchen .
She was startled when she entered the kitchen .
There was a post-it note on the refrigerator .
“Susu, A University invited me for a microchip testing . I will be away for the next few days . Bring Xiaojiao over to stay with your third brother for the next few days . ”
He wrote a short message to inform her of his work trip . But Su Yue’s heart felt as heavy as a rock .
She crumpled the post-it note in her hand .
Why did he have such a sudden work trip? He didn’t mention anything yesterday .
Su Yue turned around and left the kitchen . She strode to Jiao Chen’s room and opened the door .
The curtains were drawn and the bed was neat and tidy .
Jiao Chen was a tidy person who loved cleanliness . He had a habit of drawing the curtains and making his bed every morning . So, Su Yue had no idea what time had Jiaojiao left .
She closed the door behind her, and she peered around the living room . It was weird not to see Jiao Chen walking around with an apron around his waist . Her heart sank once more .
Jiaojiao had really become one of her habits .
He had always greeted her in the morning before he left for work or school .
This was the first time he had left abruptly, without informing her in advance .
“Mommy . ”
Xiaojiao stared at Su Yue for a long time as she stood outside Jiao Chen’s room . Xiaojiao blinked her eyes .
Su Yue smiled . “Breakfast will be ready soon . ”
She returned to her room to get her phone and walked out as she dialed Jiao Chen’s number .
The call got through and a lovely song sounded .
‘Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… Time will reveal my love… and it will give meaning to my longing… Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… The setting sun can attest to my love, for I have fallen for you…’
Su Yue was surprised when she heard the song .
She glanced at the number, wondering if she had dialed wrongly .
After making sure that it was indeed Jiaojiao’s number, she broke into a grin .
This fellow had chosen this song as his caller ring-back tone .
‘Ten miles of a spring breeze couldn’t be compared to you… I had to suppress this love in my heart… The setting sun can attest to my love . ’
She placed the phone to her ear and the song played again .
Jiao Chen didn’t answer, and Su Yue furrowed her eyebrows . She was about to end the call when the call got through .
