They returned to Jin garden an hour later.
Qi Jing had not woken up on the way back.
He must have been so exhausted that he slept very soundly on Xia Yunshu’s shoulder.
The car stopped at Jin Garden.
Qi Jing’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, as if he required some time to orient himself from his surroundings.
His was slightly different from his usual calmness.
This made Xia Yunshu more comfortable.
“Brother, we’re home.”
Her soft voice entered his ears, and Qi Jing finally came back to his senses.
He remembered that he had fallen asleep while leaning against her.
His body suddenly stiffened.
The first thing he paid attention to was not that the scene made him feel a little uncomfortable, but that he had actually slept against her for more than an hour.
He sat up straight and his gaze fell on her gently moving left arm.
He said in a low voice, “Sorry, I slept for such a long time.”
Qi Jing knew very well how vigilant he was.
He had been leaning against her shoulder but still had not woken up throughout the car ride.
She must have been maintaining this posture so that he could lean against her.
It would definitely be uncomfortable to maintain this posture for more than an hour.
Seeing that he was staring at her, Xia Yunshu stopped moving her arms and smiled.
“I’m fine, just feeling a little stiff. I’ll be fine after a few moves.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jing grabbed her left wrist expressionlessly and placed his other hand on her shoulder.
He gently massaged her shoulder.
Xia Yunshu was stunned by his sudden action.
She could not help but laugh.
She had no idea why the outside world would say that Qi Jing was ruthless and unreasonable.
He was clearly very gentle.
A few minutes later, he asked, “Is this better?”
“It’s much better, brother. Let’s alight first. I’m a little hungry.”
“Okay.” Only then did Qi Jing let go of her hand.
She did not feel it just now, but when he was about to let go, she realised that both her wrist and shoulders were much more relaxed.
Qi Jing knew what she was thinking.
He frowned slightly and opened the car door to leave first.
Just as Xia Yunshu got out of the car, Qi Jing took her school bag.
He didn’t say anything.
He walked towards the main building with his suit jacket in one hand and his school bag in the other.
Seeing that she was empty-handed while Qi Jing wasn’t, Xia Yunshu grinned sweetly and trotted after him.
From his back view, he seemed energised.
He was looking youthful and very lively.
Aunt Song was calling the chef to prepare dinner.
When she heard the noise, she looked toward the entrance and saw Qi Jing.
She greeted him respectfully, “Young Master Qi.”
Then her gaze fell on the school bag that Qi Jing was carrying.
The school bag wasn’t a pinkish bag for teens, but she could tell at a glance that it was a girl’s school bag.
That she had personally prepared for Miss Yunshu.
Aunt Song was slightly surprised.
However, she did not express it.
She smiled and greeted Xia Yunshu, who had followed Qi Jing into the house. “Miss Yun Shu.”
Xia Yunshu greeted politely, “Aunt Song.”
Qi Jing hung his coat on the shelf at the entrance as usual and glanced at Auntie song. “How much longer till dinner?”
Aunt Song didn’t expect Qi Jing to ask this.
She was stunned for a moment before answering truthfully, “About half an hour. Young Master Qi, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something else first?”
Qi Jing didn’t answer her question, “Prepare dinner twenty minutes earlier from now on.”
Aunt Song didn’t understand, but she still nodded. “Okay, Young Master Qi.”
Xia Yunshu looked at Qi Jing and felt a little conflicted.
Did he ask Aunt Song to prepare dinner twenty minutes earlier because she had mentioned that she was hungry when she alighted from the car?
She just said it casually.
Although she was indeed a little hungry, she could still wait for half an hour.
He was really a tender person to take such casual words to heart.
He saw Xia Yunshu still standing at the side in a daze, so he handed her his school bag. “Take your school bag upstairs and change into something comfortable for dinner.”
She was wearing a school uniform.
Xia Yunshu nodded and was about to reach out to take the bag, but Qi Jing did not pass it to her immediately, instead, he stared at the bag and frowned. “Next time, don’t put so many books in the bag. It’s a little heavy. Leave the books you don’t need to bring back in the classroom.”
Looking at the bag strap on one of his fingers, Xia Yunshu was speechless.
He was able to lift a finger so easily.
She wanted to ask him how he could tell that it was heavy.
However, she had to admit that his comment still filled her heart with sweetness.
“Alright, brother.”
She took the schoolbag and went upstairs.
Qi Jing silently smiled as he saw her bouncing up the stairs.
Although children were noisy and delicate, they added vibrancy to his mundane life.
Jin Garden has become a lot more lively with her.
The Xia family doesn’t want her?
Then she will be under his control from now on.
He would take care of her..
