Gu Xinzhou had been feeling sad.
But upon hearing Song Zhen's singing, she couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.
The image of him holding roses and singing while dancing flashed before her eyes.
The amusement overshadowed the nightmare.
With mixed emotions, Gu Xinzhou gripped her phone tighter and softly said in the midst of Song Zhen's song, "Thank you~"
Song Zhen stopped singing and said in a gentle voice, "Dad called me and said you had a nightmare."
"I know." Gu Xinzhou wiped the tear streaks from her face and added, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that you called me."
"Yeah, it's late, go to sleep with peace of mind, I'm watching over you, and the nightmares won't dare to bother you anymore."
"What are you going to watch over me with?"
"I will watch over you with myself."
"Huh?"
Just as Gu Xinzhou was surprised, a bright light flickered outside the window.
She hurried to the window and pulled back the curtain to see Song Zhen standing under the courtyard light, his tall figure as elegant as a jade tree, using the flashlight on his phone to shine through her window.
When he saw Gu Xinzhou approach, he put the phone to his ear and tenderly said, "Go to sleep, I'm here for you, don't be afraid."
The night in late autumn was particularly chilly.
Yet Song Zhen was wearing only a thin shirt.
The cold wind whistled into the window, making Gu Xinzhou involuntarily shiver, but Song Zhen showed no sign of feeling cold.
A flicker of hesitation crossed her clear eyes, and Gu Xinzhou couldn't help asking, "Are you doing this on purpose to play the sympathy card on me?"
"Hehehe~" Song Zhen chuckled softly and gently asked, "What if I am?"
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
Song Zhen: "If I say, I just want you to feel sorry for me, then would you feel sorry?"
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
Song Zhen: "If you have the heart, just go to sleep. After all, you only need to remember that I will always be here watching over you. I promise, I'll chase away all your nightmares!"
Gu Xinzhou remained silent for three seconds, then Song Zhen sneezed on the other end.
True or false was unclear.
But…
She finally said, "Come up here, but you can only sleep on the floor!"
Song Zhen joyfully replied like a child, "Okay~"
Gu Xinzhou never expected that Song Zhen had keys to this place!
Just as she was stepping down in her slippers to open the door for him, so as not to disturb Grandma and the others, the moment she reached the downstairs, she saw the lights in the hall turn on, and Song Zhen had already changed his shoes and come inside.
The keys were flipping in his hand, and he had a pleased expression on his face.
Seeing Gu Xinzhou, he quickly hid the keys behind his back, his demeanor full of wariness.
Gu Xinzhou's expression chilled instantly!
She extended her hand and walked over, "Give me the keys!"
Song Zhen shook his head and replied with four words, "That's impossible!"
Gu Xinzhou didn't want to be outmaneuvered by him every time, it was a rather frustrating feeling, "Give them to me! Otherwise, forget about staying!"
As she approached, Song Zhen took her outstretched hand in his other hand, brought it to his lips to kiss it, and held on, "Zhouzhou, I don't want to deceive you. Even if I give them to you tonight, I will want them again tomorrow, and I'll have them."
Gu Xinzhou tried to pull her hand back.
Song Zhen wouldn't let go and looked at her with a plaintive gaze, "Zhouzhou, I have to meet up with Dad at six in the morning to pick up experts from the USA. I haven't had a good night's sleep in several days, I'm so tired."
Gu Xinzhou gave him a cold look, "You always have so many things to do!"
Having said that, she finally shook off his hand and added, "You go up first, I'll pour a glass of water."
Song Zhen happily nodded repeatedly and scampered upstairs, moving quickly like a gust of wind, as if afraid she'd change her mind.
Gu Xinzhou watched his retreating figure speechlessly.
Inside, however, there was a sweetness.
He must have been so worried about her that he rushed over without a moment's hesitation, right?
