Qin Bai sat on the sofa and waited a while longer, listening to Pei Wan Yin's even breathing. He shook his head helplessly.
She's completely asleep; I should figure out a way to move her to the bedroom.
After thinking for a long time, it seems there's no other way besides carrying her upstairs.
But there's a problem now: how should I carry Pei Wan Yin in her current position?
If I put my hands under her body...
I probably won't see the sun tomorrow.
Oh!
What a worry.
Fortunately, at this moment, Pei Wan Yin turned over herself and lay sideways on the sofa.
Qin Bai quickly placed his hands under her, and with a little effort, he lifted her up.
"So light? She feels even thinner than before."
He looked down.
Okay, it turns out she hasn't gotten thinner; the fat has just shifted.
Qin Bai looked away, not daring to look any longer.
It was truly a bit dazzling.
After entering the bedroom, he gently placed her on the bed.
"Mmm mmm mmm~~~"
Pei Wan Yin mumbled softly, seeming a little unhappy to be leaving Qin Bai's warm embrace.
The cold bed caused her body to curl up.
Qin Bai took the blanket and gently covered her.
Then he sat beside her, tucking the green silk from her face behind her ear.
He looked at her exquisite little face and unconsciously smiled.
Sister Wan Yin seems unchanged, at least she hasn't changed towards me.
When she couldn't sleep before, I would sit beside her like this, chatting casually with her, and she would fall asleep after a while.
It's still the same now, but why is she portrayed so poorly outside?
Qin Bai specifically searched online for some information about the Pei Family, but most of it was scolding Pei Wan Yin, and nobody knew what had actually happened.
What kind of event could drive such a gentle person to the point of blackening?
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
He gently pinched Pei Wan Yin's cheek with his fingers.
"Sister Wan Yin, have a good dream."
After saying that, he slowly stood up and quietly walked out of the bedroom.
He put on his coat and left the villa.
He stood at the doorway for a few minutes before his secretary rushed over.
"Mr. Qin, are you going home?"
"Yes, Sister Wan Yin is already asleep. Remember to put a glass of water by her bedside; she has a habit of drinking water at night."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Qin. I'll have someone drive you back."
"No need, I'll just drive myself back."
The secretary watched his back view and marveled. She thought he would stay here to accompany the boss tonight.
Outsiders have a clearer perspective on matters of feelings. She always felt that Pei Wan Yin cared too much for Qin Bai, as if it exceeded the boundaries of family affection.
But she wouldn't dare say these words even if she were killed. Nobody knew what the siblings' relationship was like.
......
Qin Bai secretly opened the home door and crept inside.
Phew!
Fortunately, Mother is already asleep; otherwise, coming home so late would surely result in a spanking.
When returning to Jinshan City, he had already informed Cheng Jing and told her not to wait for him.
He took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack.
As he turned around......
"Mama mia~~~"
A dark figure was staring at him.
"Humph! Only scared enough to call 'Mama' now? What were you doing earlier?"
Qin Bai turned on the living room lights and saw Cheng Jing sitting on the sofa, arms crossed, staring at him, her words full of sarcasm.
"Mom, you scared me half to death! You almost lost your dearest son."
"Heh! Losing him would be fine; I don't see him anyway."
Upon hearing this, Qin Bai quickly sat beside her with a flattering smile.
"Why are you still angry? I've been really busy these past two days. How about I stay home with you tomorrow?"
Cheng Jing pouted. "Forget it, I don't need your company. Did you have dinner?"
"I did."
Cheng Jing turned her head, looking at the fatigue on her son's face, and immediately calmed down.
She asked with some heartache, "We have enough money now; don't overwork yourself."
"I know. Did you eat well these past two days? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"No, everything's fine. Your holiday is almost here, right?"
"Almost. Just wait for the final exams."
"That's good. Take a good rest during this holiday. And..."
Outside, the moon was setting and stars were sparse; inside, the atmosphere was warm and soft.
Qin Bai rested his head on Cheng Jing's shoulder, and the mother and son huddled together on the sofa, chatting casually.
The constant scheming and maneuvering these past two days had kept Qin Bai in a state of high tension. Seeing his mother, he immediately relaxed.
"Son, do you remember that Aunt Li you used to hug when you were a child? I saw her yesterday, and we chatted for a while. You..."
"Huh?" Cheng Jing turned her head to see that Qin Bai had already closed his eyes.
"He fell asleep already. He really seems... too tired."
She touched her son's cheek with heartache and sighed.
She wondered when her son would be able to rest.
......
When Qin Bai opened his eyes again, it was already morning.
He stretched. He hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
He picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, immediately widening his eyes.
10:28
Did I time travel?
How could I have woken up so late?
It's been many years since this has happened.
He saw a sticky note on the refrigerator and went over to it.
「Son, Mom went out to buy some things. Breakfast is on the table.」
Qin Bai replied to messages one by one while eating.
In the morning, his phone almost exploded.
Several women bombarded him one after another. He explained to each of them before the situation stabilized.
After finishing his breakfast, he drove directly to the studio.
Feng Chacha and Shen Guagua were sitting in front of the computer, studying something.
Seeing him arrive, the two women simultaneously cast pleading glances at him.
"What's wrong?"
"How do we trim this video? It's too difficult. Should we just hire a professional?" Feng Chacha rested her chin on the table and said pitifully.
"Yeah." Shen Muyu also rested her chin on the table and agreed.
"Hire someone? We don't have money to spare. Leave this to me. You guys move out of the way."
Little stars immediately flashed in the two women's eyes.
Xiaobai is truly omnipotent.
