But his question only reminded her of the dream again and heart started to beat in fear.
She nodded. “I had a nightmare.”
He reached out to pull her into his embrace, as if to dispel the uneasiness in her heart and give her a sense of security.
A low and gentle voice sounded above her head. “It’s okay, it’s just a dream.”
As he hugged her, he realized that she was drenched in cold sweat and her pajamas were stuck to her body.
He carried her out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
He placed her in the bathtub and washed her body affectionately.
After the shower, he placed her back on the bed and was about to turn around to leave.
Just as he turned around, he was grabbed by the corner of her clothes by her small hand.
He turned back towards her and saw the uneasiness on her face.
Just what kind of dream did she have just now to have scared her to this extent?
“What’s wrong?” asked he.
“Don’t leave yet.”
In the dark and empty room, she suddenly felt an unprecedented fear—the dream had really affected her.
He stared at her for a while, then reached out to turn on all the lights in the room. In an instant, the originally dark room immediately became bright.
“I’ll go get you a glass of water. It’ll just take me a minute.”
The brightened room slightly eased Zuo Weiyi.
She let go of him and watched him walk out of the room.
Sure enough, he came back with a glass of warm water within a minute.
“Here, have a drink.”
A mouthful of warm water entered her throat, finally warming up her heart, and making her feel more at ease.
She put down the cup and her gaze just happened to catch a glimpse of the clock on the bedside table. It was 3:45 am.
“Why did you suddenly come back?” And in the middle of the night too.
He stared at her and then lay down on the bed. “Yeah.”
Yeah? What kind of answer was that?
Thinking about how his life was gradually sinking into a world revolving around her, Shi Yuting could not help but feel a little proud. He did not want to tell her that it was because he missed her.
Of course, if it were not for the dinner between her and Gu Yansheng, he would have come back a few days later.
“Have you finished settling your affairs over there?” She remembered that before he went abroad, he had said that he would only be back after more than a week. It had only been a few days, so why did he come back so soon?
He leaned against the headboard and crossed his arms across his chest. “Not yet.”
“…”
‘Not yet? Then why did he come back?’
Suddenly, a possibility flashed across her mind.
During lunch, he had suddenly hung up the phone. Could it be that… he came back to see her?
Thinking about it, Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel a little touched and proud.
“Shi Yuting…”
“Call me hubby.”
Fine, since he cared so much about her. “Hubby.”
After she said so, she suddenly turned around and looked at his flawless side profile. “Are you becoming more and more inseparable from me?”
She hit the bullseye, but Shi Yuting did not look at her. He only did so after half a second and reached out to lift her delicate chin. “Are you proud, Madam?”
She smiled and looked at him. “Can I?”
He pulled her into his arms. “Let me think about it.”
She smiled blissfully as she leaned her head against his strong, secure chest. “How will the other side since you left so suddenly?”
