Chapter 936

Xu Jiamu figured that Song Xiangsi had ran out on her own again, so he rushed over to Father Song's room, and pushed open the door .

Song Xiangsi jumped in fright from the sudden entrance . As she abruptly sat up, she looked at him and asked, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiamu let out a sigh of relief . "Nothing . "

Then he closed the door and quickly tidied up the dining table .

When he went back into Song Xiangsi's room, a deafening roar of thunder came through the windows . He paused for a moment in the living room, then eventually turned to Father Song's bedroom . He pushed open the door and saw Song Xiangsi shivering, curled up in bed .

He felt a sharp pain at the bottom of his heart . He closed the doors and walked swiftly over to her bedside . "Xiangsi?"

Xu Jiamu called her name a few times, until she popped her head out from under the covers . She looked over at him for a few seconds, then gently lifted her head up . "Stay with me for while, okay?"

Xu Jiamu felt even more hurt . Without thinking about it, he nodded, and said just one word, "Alright . "

Song Xiangsi hadn't been able to rest well previously, but now—maybe because of Xu Jiamu—she quickly fell asleep .

The next day, she woke up to a bright sunny day and beautiful clear skies, without a single trace of bad weather .

Song Xiangsi had slept well and for a long time, before she sluggishly turned around and climbed out of bed . That's when she saw Xu Jiamu up against the wall, sleeping next to the wardrobe .

That's when she remembered everything that had happened last night .

In truth, she never liked appearing weak in front of other people . Yesterday was her father's funeral, and so she was incredibly devastated, which was why she said those things . She thought that he would leave after she fell asleep, never imagining that he'd sit there guarding throughout the night like that .

Xu Jiamu looked pale white, and his eyelids were dark .

Recently, he had been far more exhausted than she . He had done everything after her father passed away by himself . No matter how exhausted he was, she never saw a hint of annoyance on his face or heard a single complaint from his mouth .

Perhaps it was because Xu Jiamu was now asleep, Song Xiangsi could take a good look at him for the first time after they were reunited .

His profile was just as handsome as before . There wasn't any change there, but he did emulate a feeling of maturity and stability .

He looked really exhausted . These past few days must've taken their toll on him .

Song Xiangsi couldn't help but move to caress Xu Jiamu's furrowed brows . Just when her fingertips touched his skin, his phone suddenly rang .

Song Xiangsi's fingers trembled, before she hurriedly pulled them back . She looked over towards the sound of the phone on the shelf near the bedhead . The screen shone with the word: Sisi .

Sisi . . . it had the same two syllables as her nickname .

Was it that woman, Yang Sisi calling?

Song Xiangsi lowered her eyes, swiftly turned her head, stood up, and walked out of the room . When she closed the door, she heard Xu Jiamu from inside the bedroom . He woke up from the sound of the ringtone and groggily picked up the phone . "Hello? What's wrong?"

"Mmm . . . . I'm not in Beijing, I'm in the suburbs . . . . I don't know when I'll be back… Okay . . . . A little sleepy . Mmm . Okay . Bye bye . See you back in Beijing . "
