Su Yue shot him a questioning look. “It’s the eve of the Chinese New Year. Would there be any open stalls?”
Shouldn’t everyone be sitting in front of the TV, watching festive variety shows after dinner?
Jiao Chen grinned. “Certainly.”
He turned around and walked to the car. He opened the door before getting in.
Su Yue trailed behind Jiao Chen and sat on the front passenger seat.
He drove towards the suburbs around A University.
Su Yue had no idea where they were headed to. But she was incredibly relaxed and at ease whenever she was with him.
She began to doze off.
This was the first time she felt sleepy after breaking up with Ming Ansheng.
So many days went past and there wasn’t a night where she didn’t toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep. Even if she fell asleep, she would wake up several times in the night.
When she woke up, the car had already stopped. Su Yue fluttered her eyelids as she rubbed her eyes sleepily. She glanced out of the car.
She had no idea where they were.
There was a shopping mall and it felt familiar to her.
But the mall was closed and it was dark everywhere.
Su Yue saw the shopping mall’s name and she suddenly remembered. This was where they came on their first date. It was the place where she met Jiao Chen’s sister.
So, this was the place he wanted to bring her for supper?
Su Yue glanced back at him, looking puzzled.
The man was resting with his eyes closed.
He always appeared so calm and gentle. Su Yue pressed her lips, swallowing her words.
He came back to the capital city after dinner. Driving for hours must have exhausted him.
Jiao Chen probably didn’t want to wake her up, and hence he fell asleep while waiting for her to wake up.
She turned her head to look out of the window.
She wanted Jiao Chen to rest for a while more, but his phone unexpectedly rang at that moment.
Jiao Chen opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was to glance at Su Yue. He smiled when he saw that she was awake. He found his phone and answered the call.
“Hello. Yeah.”
“I fell asleep for a while in the car. Give me a minute.”
After talking briefly, he ended the call.
He glanced back at Su Yue. “Did you wait for a long time?”
“Nope.” Su Yue shook her head. “I just woke up.”
“It’s cold, put on your coat.” Jiao Chen extended his hand to get Su Yue’s coat from the back seats.
“Thank you.” Su Yue received it and put it on.
Warm light had illuminated the interior of the car.
The heater in the car caused Su Yue’s cheeks to turn rosy, as though she had put on blusher.
She was about to get off the car when Jiao Chen interjected, “Su Yue, wait.”
Su Yue stopped and turned her head.
Jiao Chen smiled and put on the hood for her. “It’s cold.”
Love and concern filled his every action.
His concern was as gentle as his personality and no one could resist.
Su Yue seemed dumbfounded.
She felt that Jiao Chen seemed different tonight. When they were dating, he was usually quiet and nonchalant towards her.
He bought food for her and would also remind her to take her meals. But he had never been this caring towards her.
What was wrong with him today?
Jiao Chen saw that Su Yue was staring at him, and he raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Su Yue dismissed his question and she leaned against her seat and shut the door.
