Lu Haiqiao suddenly sat up. She moved her phone away and cleared her throat softly, making it sound less muddled.
“No, I’m still awake.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her face heat up for no reason.
“Lu Haiqiao, what’s wrong with you? It’s not like you haven’t taken his call before. Why are you so nervous?”
While she was secretly complaining, she noticed that Xie Xuan was silent for a long time after his first sentence.
The sound of the rain entered her ears. Lu Haiqiao looked up at the window. The sound of the rain didn’t come from her side but from Xie Xuan’s side. She made a bold guess. “Are you… not at home now?”
“Yes, I just finished my business. I’m not home yet.” Xie Xuan’s voice was low and deep as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion. After a while, he suddenly said, “Haiqiao…”
Lu Haiqiao’s heart raced uncontrollably. This was the first time he had called her name like this.
After about half a minute, Xie Xuan said, “Haiqiao, I’m Xie Xuan.” Lu Haiqiao’s eyebrows twitched. He wasn’t in the right state tonight.
“I know,” she said.
There was another silence.
After a while, Lu Haiqiao spoke first. “Did something happen to you?” Xie Xuan suddenly chuckled and pretended to be relaxed. “I guess so.”
“It hasn’t been resolved?” If it had been, he wouldn’t have sounded like that.
Xie Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s only a matter of time.”
Then, he seemed to have something to say, but he did not know how to say it. He was about to call her name when he changed the topic. “By the way, why are you still awake so late?”
Lu Haiqiao sat cross-legged on the bed and casually picked up a cushion. “I have to keep my promise.”
“Huh?” Xie Xuan asked in confusion.
“Someone asked me to wait for him, and I said yes. If I went to bed, wouldn’t I be breaking my promise?”
She spoke slowly with her unique childish voice. Her slightly raised tone was filled with mischief.
Xie Xuan sat in the car and looked at the front window which was blurred by the heavy rain. For some reason, his chaotic emotions gradually calmed down. It was because of the woman on the other end of the phone.
Lu Haiqiao definitely didn’t know that Xie Xuan had hesitated for a long time before making this voice call.
After leaving the clinic, he and Xie Er went to visit Bin’s parents.
He couldn’t reveal his identity, so he could only claim to be Bin’s friend.
Perhaps no one usually came to the house, the two elders were very enthusiastic when they saw the guests. They served them with tea and fruits. Before leaving, they rejected the cheque that Xie Er handed over.
The old lady shook her head firmly. “We can’t accept this money. Our lives are very good now. We’re very satisfied. Look, Bin bought this house for us. Just this living room is so big that there’s an echo when we speak.
“Now that Bin is busy with his career outside and doing what he likes to do, the two of us will stay at home and recuperate. Only when we’re healthy can we let him have no worries.
“You’re Bin’s friends. You’ll definitely meet often. Please remind him to take good care of himself. Although he’s busy, he should look after himself.”
The simple words were filled with parents’ love for their son.
Xie Xuan pursed his lips and did not say anything.
In the end, it was Xie Er who answered, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. We’re friends. We have to take care of each other.”
Xie Xuan suddenly recalled what Zhou Nuo had said earlier.
“Perhaps she only wants a calm and stable life. Even if she likes you, she might not be willing to accompany you through those bloody storms..”
