C7 Warm

Xiaoxing felt that her stomach was no longer as painful as before. Her face was on his chest and she heard his heartbeat seem to be beating faster and stronger than before. A wave of sleepiness hit her and Xiaoxing's consciousness began to blur. This warm and wide embrace made her feel very secure and she quickly fell asleep.

Hearing the even breathing sound in his arms, Qin Jun lowered his head. He saw that Xiaoxing had already fallen asleep and there was still a faint smile on her lips. Qin Jun actually revealed a smile on his face and gently placed her on the bed. And... He pulled the blanket over her and covered her with it. In the end, he unexpectedly lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on her forehead.

Then, he gently lifted his foot and walked into the bathroom. It seemed like he was going to take a cold shower tonight! He didn't expect that this young and inexperienced girl would also have an addicting smell. Qin Jun suddenly felt that this Xiaoxing was very interesting!

The next morning, the sun's rays shone onto the bed in the bedroom.

Xiaoxing opened her sleepy eyes and stretched her arms. It was past nine o'clock on the wall! Her stomach hurt so much last night. She had been on three holidays, and every time, it was more painful than the last time. She turned to look at the side of the blanket that Qin Jun was sleeping on. It was neatly folded! At this time, he had already gone to work.

Xiaoxing remembered how he hugged her tightly last night, and her face suddenly turned red. She only remembered that he hugged her for a while and then she fell asleep. It was as if someone had kissed her forehead in her sleep. Xiaoxing herself was also not sure if it was Qin Jun who kissed her, or if it was her own dream! But she knew that dream was very sweet.

At this time, the door was lightly knocked twice.

"Come in!" Xiaoxing shouted towards the door.

The next moment, the door was pushed open. Mrs Zhang came in with a maid.

"Young Madam, do you feel better? Her stomach doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" Mrs Zhang walked to the bed and asked with concern.

"How do you know my stomach hurts?" Xiaoxing asked in puzzlement. She didn't seem to have told anyone else.

"It was the young master who told me this morning before he left. He even ordered me to boil sugar water for you! This sugar water is very useful. Drink it while it's hot! It won't be useful when it's cold." Mother Zhao signaled the maid behind her to pass a bowl of hot, dark red soup.

"Yes!" Xiaoxing took the bowl and carefully drank it. The sugar water was hot and sweet. But what was sweeter was Xiaoxing's heart. She felt the care of the usually cold person.

"Remember! Don't touch the cold water for the next few days! Young Madam, let's go down first." Mrs Zhang brought the maid out of the room.

Xiaoxing sat at the head of the bed and drank the sweet water in the bowl bit by bit. A ripple of emotion arose in her heart.

At night, Xiaoxing made an exception and did not sleep early. She leaned on the head of the bed, holding the remote control and changing the channel randomly. But her eyes did not seem to be focused on the television. From time to time, she looked out the window. She wanted to see if there was any light from the car coming in. She was waiting for Qin Jun, whether intentionally or not! For the whole day, her mind was filled with his shadow! She took out all of his personal photos in the bedroom, from a child to an adult. It turned out that when he was a child, he was a short, fat boy, completely different from when he was an adult! Xiaoxing's face was full of smiles. For the first time, Xiaoxing had a feeling that she wanted to understand everything about him.

Xiaoxing knew that she and him were just contracted. When the time was up, they would never meet again. Because he was the high and mighty CEO, young master, and the son of a rich family. And she was just the daughter of a small maid, Miss Gray, and a fisherman! Although her mind was extremely clear, Xiaoxing could not suppress her thoughts from thinking about him. She was even deliberately waiting for him at this moment. She also did not know what was wrong with her? She really wanted to see him tonight!

When the clock pointed to 12 o'clock, Qin Jun still hadn't returned.

Xiaoxing raised her head and looked out the window. There were no signs of car lights. Xiaoxing yawned and turned her eyes to the television screen. Watching the midnight soap opera on the television, Xiaoxing's eyes began to fight...

When the clock pointed to two o'clock, Qin Jun gently pushed open the door. He looked up and saw Xiaoxing sleeping leaning against the headboard. He looked at the television and frowned slightly. Why didn't she sleep well tonight?

Qin Jun walked to the TV and turned off the switch. Then he quickly took off his suit and shirt and put on his pajamas. He had already taken a shower in the hotel. Tonight, after dinner with a famous model, he went to the hotel together. The dissatisfaction from last night was all due to that famous model. But the strange thing was that his brain clearly knew that the person was not Xiaoxing, but his brain suddenly slid across Xiaoxing's face. When he came back from the car just now, he was also thinking about Xiaoxing all the way back. He did not know if she had fallen asleep or not.

Qin Jun walked to the side of Xiaoxing's bed and gently took the remote from her hand. He stared at the sleeping ___ and bent down to pull the blanket for her. At this time, Xiaoxing's body moved. Qin Jun immediately turned around and walked to the other side of the bed.

"Why did you come back so late?" Xiaoxing opened her sleepy eyes and blurted out when she saw him in his pajamas. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it! What right did she have to ask him? Could it be that she was his contracted wife?

Qin Jun was also stunned. He did not expect Xiaoxing to ask such a question. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jun's pitch-black eyes glanced at Xiaoxing. He said lightly, "There is a social event that cannot be rejected tonight." Then he turned over and got into bed. He pulled over the blanket and reached out to turn off the wall lamp.

Qin Jun, who was facing the bed, was no longer sleepy. His deep eyes stared at the dim starlight outside the white curtain. However, he did not know where his thoughts had drifted to. They rarely spoke for the past two months. He had heard some concern, complaints, and questions from her tone just now. For a long time, Qin Jun had never felt a woman waiting for him at home! This feeling had been away from him for eight years. Eight years ago, his heart had been emptied by a woman.
