Time seemed to come to a standstill that night, it was too quiet, not a sound nearby, Qiao Xi only heard the thumping of his heart.
His heartbeat was so intense.
"Okay."
Shen Dang reluctantly let go of Qiao Xi and caressed her head for a moment, "I'm heading back now."
Qiao Xi looked up at him and unconsciously pursed her lips, "Did you drive here yourself?"
Shen Dang smiled at her, "The driver is waiting downstairs for me."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips again, "Then you better hurry back."
"Alright."
"Sure."
Qiao Xi escorted him to the door.
Shen Dang turned and left.
Qiao Xi gently closed the door.
Whose thoughts drifted far away tonight, nobody knew.
The warm atmosphere from just earlier had dissipated as soon as Shen Dang left.
Qiao Xi yawned and returned to her bedroom to sleep.
Shen Dang approached the car; before getting in, he glanced upstairs, not a single window had lights on.
With a slight, ambiguous smile, he bent down and got into the car.
