Chapter 159: The Night

“Jiaojiao,” Li Xiangjun blushed as she ran to her side and hugged her arm. “It’s late now, shall I send you back?”

“I’ll go with you,” Fang Tianfu said excitedly, “Xiangjun and I will send you back first, then I’ll send her back.”

“No one asked you.” Li Xiangjun said softly. “I still have to save you when I meet a bad person.”

“Jiaojiao?”

“It’s Zhao Zhan!”

Fang Tianliu was the first to open the door. “Are you here to pick up Jiaojiao?”

Zhao Zhan made a humming sound and walked over as if there was no one else around. He grabbed Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and looked her up and down. There was an obvious nervousness in his eyes. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, don’t be so nervous.” Yue Jiaojiao squeezed his palm to comfort him. “It’s very late. If we stay any longer, Manager Li will be worried about Xiangjun. Let’s go back first.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll send Xiangjun back first then. I don’t have to worry about anything with Zhao Zhan around.”

Fang Tianfu wanted to bring Li Xiangjun away.

The night was dark, the moon was dim, and there were only him and Xiangjun on the quiet street. Wasn’t this the perfect time to confide in each other?

Seeing that they had left, Zhao Zhan could not resist pulling her into his arms. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I was so scared when I heard Li Miao. I was afraid that something had happened.

“I was worried that you’ll be taken away by your family just like that. I won’t even know where to look for you.”

His embrace dispelled the chill around him.

Yue Jiaojiao’s nasal voice had not yet recovered, and she said in a soft voice, “Didn’t you say in the past that I could leave whenever I wanted to? Why are you looking for me now?”

Zhao Zhan’s arms tightened around her.

“I’m regretting what I said. As long as I don’t hear you chasing me away, I’ll follow you wherever you go.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s shoulders trembled as she laughed. She scratched the soft flesh on his waist and said, “Let go of me. It’s late. Li Miao is still waiting for us at home.”

Zhao Zhan reluctantly let go of her, then bent down and picked her up.

Subconsciously, she grabbed Zhao Zhan’s collar and looked up at him. “Zhao Zhan. Your feet will hurt when you walk.” Zhao Zhan adjusted his position to make her lie more comfortably. He locked the door of the shop and carried her steadily to the house.

The stars flickered in the night sky, and Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes also seemed to be dyed with the galaxy.

She raised her head and stared seriously at Zhao Zhan’s lower jaw. Her eyes were soft, and even the corners of her lips had a touch of sweetness.

“You guys are back?” Li Miao had been waiting in the yard in fear. Seeing the two of them return safely, she patted her chest. “Are you alright?”

Yue Jiaojiao forced herself to stay awake all the way. After all, she couldn’t let Zhao Zhan arrange Li Miao’s rest at night.

“Li Miao, are you sharing a room with me tonight?” She considerately said, “I’ll ask Zhao Zhan to prepare an extra blanket so that I won’t disturb you if I don’t sleep well.”

“No need, no need,”

Li Miao waved her hands.

How could she sleep with someone who was as exquisite as a fairy? After all, they had been together for so long, and she knew better than anyone how much she loved her cleanliness.

“I think the soft couch in your room should be enough. It’s much more comfortable than the one I sleep on at home. I can sleep there.”

“Li Miao.”

Yue Jiaojiao still wanted to persuade her, but Li Miao looked at her with a rare serious expression. “It’ll be more comfortable there.”

“Zhao Zhan, can you carry an extra mattress? We’ll make the soft couch more comfortable later.”

She was worried that Li Miao might not be able to sleep well in bed if she insisted.
