Xia Qingqian walked to the bedroom door, looked at the tightly closed door, raised her hand and put it down again, back and forth several times, and finally knocked on the door gently, "Mr. Ji, are you hungry? I'll make you a midnight snack. Do you want me to give you one?"

She found a lame excuse to ask the people in the room.

After waiting for a while, no sound came out of the room. Xia Qingqian was a little worried and continued to ask, "Boss Ji, are you okay? Do you need help?"

There was still no sound coming from the room.

"Falling asleep?" she muttered.

Then he shook his head. It was impossible. He just returned to the room. How could he fall asleep so quickly? Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Xia Qingqian suddenly became a little anxious.

I put my hand on the door handle and twisted it gently, and it opened.

The door is unlocked.

After she turned the key to unlock the door, she gently pushed it open a little bit, and her heart beat inexplicably faster.

Somewhat nervous.

She saw through the crack in the door that the bedroom was pitch black and the lights were off.

"Mr. Ji, are you asleep? Do you need help? The door is not locked, I'm coming in..."

As Xia Qingqian spoke, she pushed open the bedroom door and walked into Ji Fengfan's room.

With the moonlight outside the window, you can vaguely see the location of items in the bedroom, and when you open the door, you can see that there is no one on the big bed in the middle.

Xia Qingqian walked inside carefully, looking around for Ji Fengfan, and called softly, "Boss Ji~Boss Ji, are you there?"

Still no reply.

The bedroom was quite large, but the furnishings were simple. Xia Qingqian spotted Ji Fengfan between the bed and the wardrobe.

He sat on the carpet, his back against the bed, his head buried in his knees, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in great sorrow.

Xia Qingqian was slightly startled. She had never seen Ji Fengfan like this before. He looked like a fragile child who needed someone to hold him in his arms and comfort him. She walked gently in front of him and knelt on the carpet.

The person in front of him seemed to have just noticed that someone had entered the room and slowly raised his head.

Xia Qingqian saw that his face was pale, his lost eyes showed his extreme grief, but they were red without tears. Her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and she couldn't breathe.

Ji Fengfan stared at her blankly for a few seconds without saying anything. He just buried his head again and continued to maintain the posture of retracting into the shell.

Xia Qingqian moved and sat down next to him.

The two of them also leaned against the edge of the bed, facing a whole large wardrobe.

Sensing her movements, Ji Fengfan's muffled voice came out hoarsely, "You get out."

Xia Qingqian seemed to have not heard what he said. As soon as she heard him speak, she opened her mouth and said to herself, "Mr. Ji, have you been to Yunhe City? It takes three hours to drive from Jiangcheng. It is cooler in the summer than Jiangcheng. You can catch fish in the fish pond and pick fruits in the mountains. You can set up a stove and a tent in the yard. It's like a vacation. You can cook at home..."

She didn't wait for his answer and started describing.

"That's my hometown. Let me tell you, I was very naughty when I was little. I went to the river to play in the water and imitated others to swim. I almost drowned in the river. Fortunately, my friends went to call adults to rescue me. I thought I would be scolded when I got back, but I didn't expect that my parents were so scared by me that they forgot about criticizing me."

Xia Qingqian silently observed Ji Fengfan's reaction while speaking. Seeing that he didn't drive her away, she continued, "I loved summer the most when I was a kid. Besides playing in the water, the happiest thing in summer was sitting in the yard after dinner, eating the big watermelon my father planted, enjoying the cool while counting the stars. I was so stupid at that time. I really looked up and kept counting. But in fact, there was no way I could count all the stars."

Xia Qingqian said this with a chuckle.

Ji Fengfan listened to her soft and sweet voice whispering in his ear, and his mind sketched out peaceful pictures of the countryside according to her description, and his heart gradually calmed down.

As she described it, he seemed to be participating in it.

He had never been to Yunhe City...

The heroine of the old movie that Xia Qingqian watched, Shen Jiangyue, was his mother.

As much as he used to love watching movies and TV shows starring his mother, he is now afraid to touch them.

In his study, an entire wall of cabinets is filled with his mother's photos, magazines, and CDs.

These were all collected and preserved by my parents. After he bought the apartment, he moved them all here from the old house, but he never looked through them again.

In fact, I have already accepted the fact that my parents have left me and are no longer with me. But... looking at my mother's young face and bright smile in the movie, the scene of the day when my parents left would still reappear in my mind.

That was the heaviest blow to the teenager, making it hard for him to breathe.

Over the years, he has not been blinded by hatred, he just wants those who did wrong to get the punishment they deserve.

Ji Fengfan had deliberately not taken sleeping pills recently and had very little sleep every day. Now, the chattering sound beside Xia Qingqian seemed like a lullaby. Ji Fengfan leaned on his knees and closed his eyes unconsciously.

Xia Qingqian didn't know that he had fallen asleep, and kept talking. Finally, she leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep without realizing it.

The next morning, it was still dark outside.

Ji Fengfan woke up first. Someone was leaning on his right shoulder, and there was some weight. He turned his head and a faint fragrance came into his nose, which was a familiar feeling...

He looked over and saw a small head resting on his shoulder. The palm-sized fair face was mostly covered by scattered hair. The eyes were closed and he was sleeping soundly.

He moved gently, slowly picked the person up, and put him on his big bed.

The person on the bed seemed to have finally found her territory. She moaned, and as soon as she lay down, she automatically turned over and lay in a big letter position. Almost the entire bed was occupied by her domineering sleeping posture.

The little face flushed slightly, the brows were relaxed, and the corners of the lips were slightly raised, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Ji Fengfan stood beside the bed, staring at the person lying on the bed, thinking in his heart.

How can someone sleep so well? If he sleeps like this, he might be kidnapped and sold without knowing it.

He covered her with the quilt and walked out of the bedroom.

It was 5:30 in the morning. He had slept for almost six hours without taking any medicine. He even fell asleep just sitting on the carpet and leaning against the edge of the bed.

He was a little surprised that he slept for such a long time.

Maybe it's really like the doctor said, if I slowly quit taking the medication, my insomnia is just a psychological effect and it will get better slowly.
