"Hmm..." Chen Yiran pondered for a moment, then nodded, looking at her earnestly. "For your mother's sake, I really should take you home now."
"What?" Tianxin was instantly disappointed. She had only been with Chen Yiran a short while, and she was already being sent home?
"Darling, you're going to come to my house for Chinese New Year, I'll get you a huge red packet then." Chen Yiran managed to calm himself, smiled at Tianxin, restarted the car, and set off towards Tianxin's neighborhood.
By the time they got to the foot of Tianxin's apartment, it was already past three in the morning.
The area was silent, with only the howling wind passing through.
Tianxin lingered unwillingly in Chen Yiran's arms for a long while, then reluctantly headed upstairs, looking back three times with every step.
Once inside, Tianxin carefully changed back into her slippers and carefully made her way to her room, praying in her heart that her parents wouldn't wake up.
