Then she flung open the door and plunged into his arms.
The person outside the door smiled and hugged her tightly. Lowering his head, he kissed her hair. A pleasant voice then sounded above her head. “I’m sorry for coming so late.”
Su Jiu could not believe that the person in front of her was Rong Si.
She rubbed against his chest and breathed in his familiar scent. Only then did she let herself believe that he was really here.
To her, this was the biggest surprise in the past few days. It was as if all the exhaustion from the hard work and the discomfort of being sick had disappeared at this moment.
Needless to say, Rong Si must have taken a plane back to see her immediately after hanging up the call.
Su Jiu felt a lump in her throat and looked up at him. “Why are you here? It’s so far away. You came just like that?”
Rong Si would have taken at least ten hours to get here from his place. It was already so late. She wondered if he had eaten yet.
Rong Si deeply looked at her. “I was worried about you.”
“But… why didn’t you call me first? Why did you come so suddenly?!” Su Jiu still felt like she was dreaming, but if she indeed were, she would let this dream last longer.
Rong Si stroked her head. “I didn’t want to disturb your rest.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Ah! Isn’t the little villain too thoughtful?
She was touched. When Su Jiu felt the cool air on the coat he was wearing, she knew that he had braved the cold wind. She quickly pulled him in. As she held his hand, she felt that his fingers were cold. Her heart ached even more. “Your hand is so cold.”
Rong Si held her hand instead, then frowned. “Why is your hand so hot?”
As he spoke, he first rubbed his hands together to warm them before placing them on her forehead. “You have a fever?” His expression turned serious. “Didn’t you say it was just a small cold? Why do you have a fever?”
Su Jiu nonchalantly replied, “It’s fine. It’s just a slight fever. It’s fine.”
Rong Si stared at her. “Are you okay? I told you to take care of your health. Why didn’t you listen? Do you have to have a high fever of 40 degrees for it to be important?”
Su Jiu felt a little guilty and whispered, “It’s really okay. Don’t worry too much. As for you, have you eaten? Do you want me to call room service to send some food up?”
Rong Si frowned and looked disappointed. “Take care of yourself first. Have you taken your medicine?”
“Yes.” Su Jiu stuck out her tongue and held his arm. “My fever will go down after a night’s rest. You really don’t have to worry too much. Besides, when I see you, I feel better! Look at how energetic I am now. Do I look like a person who is seriously ill?”
“Well, just don’t do it again. Be careful in the future.”
“I know. I know. Why are you naggier than my parents?”
“Huh?” Rong Si glanced sideways at her, his eyes dark. “Then I’ll leave you alone.”
“Don’t, don’t. I’m just joking. I know you care about me.” Su Jiu tightly hugged his arm and ingratiatingly smiled at him.
Rong Si’s expression did not soften. After snorting softly, he suddenly picked up Su Jiu and carried her to the big bed. Then, he placed her on it and covered her tightly with the blanket. “Since you’ve taken your medicine, rest well.”
“What about you? Are you leaving?” Su Jiu knew that Rong Si was very busy, but she did not want to be separated from him again so soon.
Rong Si sat down on the edge of the bed and stared down at her. “You want me to stay?”
