Qin Xian took her phone?!
Oh no, it must be her mother who has been calling repeatedly out of concern.
What should she do? What if he answers the phone?
If her mother finds out she hasn't come home all night and is with Qin Xian...
Oh my god.
She couldn't bear to think any further.
She hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, can I see Qin Xian now?"
She really had something urgent to discuss; she wanted to know if he had answered her mother's call. She needed to find out if her mother was worried about her. Would she be unable to sleep all night out of concern?
Seeing her anxious expression, Aunt Chen quickly said, "Of course, Qin Shao has instructed that Miss Shu can see him anytime."
With that, she opened the door and respectfully led Shu Ran to the adjacent room.
In the corridor stood a few men in black, their expressions serious and unsmiling.
It was exactly the same scene as last night, and Shu Ran still felt a bit scared inside.
She walked with her head down, following Aunt Chen closely while observing her surroundings.
"Knock knock..." Aunt Chen stopped in front of the closed door, raised her hand, and lightly tapped, "Young Master, Miss Shu has arrived."
As soon as the words fell, the door to the room was opened. Chen Jin stood sideways behind the door, meeting Shu Ran's gaze and giving a slight nod.
Shu Ran responded in kind, gently nodding her head.
"Come in."
A lazy voice from inside the room belonged to Qin Xian. Shu Ran politely thanked Aunt Chen and slowly moved her feet into the room.
The main bedroom, like the previous room, had a simple and uncomplicated decor.
Only cold black and white filled the entire space.
Qin Xian was lazily half-reclining on the bed, appearing relaxed and in a good mood.
However, the IV drip on the stand was very much present, with a long tube winding its way to the soft bed, and a sharp needle tip inserted into his vein.
Seeing him like this made Shu Ran feel inexplicably guilty. The guilt she had forgotten after a night of sleep was suddenly awakened, and for a moment, she forgot why she had rushed over.
It was Qin Xian who broke the silence first; he lazily asked, "Awake?"
"Yeah." After responding, Shu Ran finally came to her senses and remembered her purpose for coming here.
She hurriedly asked, "Qin Xian, where's my phone?"
"Uh-huh?"
The single-syllable reply came without any urgency from him.
Ke Shuran was anxious, "Where's my phone? I haven't been home all night, my mom must be worried sick."
She finally walked up to him, meeting his deep gaze, her tone unusually soft, "Can you please give me back my phone?"
Qin Xian looked at her pitiful expression and suddenly laughed for no reason.
He said seriously, "You don't need to worry, I've already talked to your mom."
What!?
This statement was like a bolt from the blue for Shu Ran.
Oh my!
What do you mean you've talked to her?!
What did you say?!
"What did you say?" Shu Ran stared at him, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, as if she wanted to hear a lucky answer from him.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a smile, his cool voice wrapping around her ears at that moment, sounding particularly enchanting.
"What do you think?"
This answer left Shu Ran at a loss for words.
How could she possibly know…
She felt like crying.
All she knew was that when she got home, she would face a long lecture on ideological education and political theory, with a pile of misunderstandings and issues waiting for her to explain.
Her heart ached.
Her expression, with a sad little face, was exceptionally cute. Qin Xian watched her intently, a smile lingering on his lips.
He reached out and picked up a silver phone from the bedside, playing with it in his hands. "Hmm? A phone."
Shu Ran bit her lip, looking troubled.
At this point, using the phone was pointless.
He had already spoken to her mother...
How was she supposed to explain this...
Thinking this way, she still wanted to take some measures to remedy the situation and find out what her mother currently thought about it so she could prepare her explanation.
With that in mind, she gloomily took the phone from his hand. When she unlocked the screen, she was mentally prepared for a barrage of messages from her mother.
However.
It seemed like things were taking a turn...
Upon unlocking the screen, indeed, a flood of messages came pouring in.
However, this person.
It turned out to be Zhou Jiajia.
What’s going on?
She hurriedly swiped to unlock her phone and opened WeChat.
She found that Zhou Jiajia had sent her 25 unread messages.
Zhou Jiajia: Oh my god, was that Qin Xian just now? What’s going on?
Zhou Jiajia: ???
Zhou Jiajia: I already called Auntie and told her we were having too much fun in D City, so we can’t go back and will rest here for the night.
Zhou Jiajia: Auntie asked me why you weren’t answering your phone, and I said you were too tired and fell asleep. She believed me and has already gone to bed.
Upon seeing this, Shu Ran suddenly looked up, staring at the person in front of her, and asked, “Did you call Zhou Jiajia?”
Qin Xian did not respond directly and merely glanced at her lightly.
“What? Is that a problem? Or do you want me to call Auntie myself?”
Of course not! Shu Ran almost shouted it out; she pouted slightly.
She just...
He was surprised, and a bit moved.
He was so attentive.
He guessed all her concerns and quietly resolved them.
It would be a lie not to feel touched.
"Why are you doing this?"
Why is he being so nice to me?
She looked at him, her clear eyes serious.
For the first time, Qin Xian was lost in thought.
Being cautious, meticulous, and focused was a state he had maintained even while sleeping for many years.
But at this moment, he was lost in her eyes.
Clear and rippling, like water apricots.
But it was only this moment.
In the next second, he snapped back to reality.
He glanced at her and awkwardly said, "I just don't want to see some little pitiful thing with a sad face first thing in the morning; it would ruin my appetite for breakfast."
Shu Ran blinked and instantly understood he was alluding to her earlier behavior.
She puffed out her cheeks, secretly grumbling: It's all because he deceived her.
Hmph, Qin Naive.
She lowered her head and continued to look at the unread messages.
However...
Zhou Jiajia: But you actually stayed out all night?
Zhou Jiajia: I told you to be yourself, treat him like you treat me, but this...
Zhou Jiajia: (serious face) Shu Ran! What did I tell you! You can't get serious! Qin Xian and those people are just playing around! Don't be foolish and lose your sense!
However, beneath this message, someone replied with four words.
Shu Ran: I am Qin Xian.
