He had already asked this question more than once. Zhong Miao Yi was stunned and did not answer the question directly.
"Where have you been these past two days?" She did not want to talk about such a heavy topic, nor did she feel that there was room for an answer to such a question.
Su Zeyi was silent for a while, the thoughts in his mind was not clear to Zhong Miao Yi, she felt that he already did not have the means to guess Su Zeyi's thoughts.
She had always felt that she more or less understood Su Zeyi, but the current her no longer dared to think so self-righteously.
Su Zeyi did not stay silent for too long. He held onto Zhong Miao Yi's hand, the warmth of her palm made him feel more at ease.
"Do you miss me?" His voice was low and had a bewitching quality to it.
But only Su Zeyi knew that he was afraid.
He was afraid that what he had to do now was wrong. He was afraid that he would lose the Zhong Miao Yi, after all these years, he had never been afraid.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyes and did not answer him. This kind of ambiguous conversation was more suitable for him to talk to Yun Mengqi since Yun Mengqi would give him the response he wanted. However, it could only give him endless silence.
It had been a long time since she'd missed someone. It was too much for her to bear, and it was good enough for her to be alone.
When Su Zeyi didn't arrive, he instead chuckled softly. He probably felt himself to be quite foolish.
After laughing for a while, he let out a sigh. "I'm going to go see Tang Yao."
Although he already knew it, when Su Zeyi said this, Zhong Miao Yi's heart tensed up.
She didn't know what she was nervous about, and at that moment, she suddenly didn't want to know what they were talking about. She could only ask in a stiff voice, "You didn't make things difficult for him, right?"
Su Zeyi calmly replied: "If I say no, would you believe me?"
"Thank you." She believed that Su Zeyi would not lie to her about something that could be verified at any time. It was meaningless and unnecessary.
As long as he was not troubled, as long as he was fine, it would be fine. There was no need, Zhong Miao Yi suddenly did not want to know.
After encountering Tang Yao, she had always been this polite and distant. As Su Zeyi was used to it, he asked tiredly, "You're not going to ask me why I'm looking for him?"
But Zhong Miao Yi really didn't want to hear it. She laid back on her pillow and closed her eyes, "It's getting late, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Su Zeyi had not made a move, and even inched closer, saying softly: "Rest for a bit, you are also tired."
He was truly tired, but there were too many things that made it impossible for him to rest.
Zhong Miao Yi didn't want to hear it, and he didn't really think of how to tell her either.
Su Zeyi took off his outer clothes, laid beside the Zhong Miao Yi, and habitually imprisoned her in his arms. It was as if he could truly feel that the Zhong Miao Yi was his only chance.
Zhong Miao Yi did not resist. She once thought that he and Su Zeyi were just in a situation where you were going to die.
But time was a good medicine and she was already able to fall asleep under Su Zeyi's overbearing suppression. She thought that the period of time that she would be forced to death was long gone.
Maybe this was fine too, the Zhong Miao Yi sighed, then placed her slightly uncomfortable hands into another more comfortable position.
Perhaps, due to his shallow consciousness not wanting to hear what Su Zeyi had to say, or being afraid of what Su Zeyi had to say, Zhong Miao Yi had to sleep especially quickly this time.
When she woke up again, she was still a bit confused, to the point that she didn't realize that the posture of propping her head up was completely different from usual.
A few minutes later, Zhong Miao Yi realized that Su Zeyi was still sleeping beside him.
He had never been able to stay in her room at this time before, so he should be truly tired. Last night, he had not been able to see clearly. Now that he was closer, he could see Wu Qing in front of him.
Su Zeyi's breathing was steady, his right hand was still holding onto her tightly, probably because he was afraid to squeeze his stomach, but his sleeping posture was stiff and restrained, and was even close to the edge of the bed.
The Zhong Miao Yi sat in silence for a while before thinking of withdrawing her numb hands.
She did not dare to use any strength, afraid that she would wake Su Zeyi up. However, the more careful she was, the easier it would be for something to happen that she did not want to face.
She had just twisted it when Su Zeyi suddenly gripped it tightly, frowned, and opened his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot. Although he had slept for a while last night, his sleeping posture was even more tiring. He hadn't had a good rest at all.
Zhong Miao Yi couldn't say whether she was feeling heartache or unbearable, or maybe she simply felt that Su Zeyi was too desperate, but her heart stopped for a moment.
"What time is it?" The moment Su Zeyi saw her, he heaved a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, changed his position, and let go of her hand.
Zhong Miao Yi glanced outside the window. "I don't know, but it shouldn't be too late."
Su Zeyi curled the corner of his mouth, and his voice was already a little inaudible: "Then rest a while more."
Zhong Miao Yi shook his head. After doing this, she realized that Su Zeyi could not see it with his eyes closed. Then, she opened her mouth and said: "I'm not going to sleep.
After saying that, he put on his shoes and got off the bed. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard Su Zeyi asking in a low voice: "Are you worried about me?"
Zhong Miao Yi's footsteps paused, and when she slowly turned around to look at him, his breathing had already become regular, as though she had fallen asleep.
She looked at this face for a very long time. In all these years, she had never thought that there would be a day where she would hate Su Zeyi. But now, at this moment, she actually thought that everything that happened before was fake.
They had just slept, and she had had a very long nightmare.
When he walked out of the door, Old Madam Su did not enter the palace. The woman beside her, Lin Mu, invited him, saying that she was waiting for him to have a meal.
Then, she leisurely walked over, only to see the familiar old lady smiling benevolently as she called out, "Xiao Yi."
This illusion was pulled back to reality the moment he opened the door and saw Ah Jiu.
"Madam is awake." When Ah Jiu walked over, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
She closed the door and nodded slightly: "Su Zeyi is inside, don't disturb him." After he finished speaking, he brought along Ah Jiu and walked forward a distance, "Does Yun Mengqi know that Su Zeyi has returned?"
Su Zeyi came back in the middle of the night. Even the Ah Jiu himself wasn't clear about it, let alone Yun Mengqi.
She stared at Zhong Miao Yi, not knowing how to answer. Fortunately, although Zhong Miao Yi had yet to react, she did not continue asking, because even if she did know, it was nothing. Zhou Ji would not let Yun Mengqi do something that would embarrass him.
When Zhong Miao Yi recalled the sharing pillow last night, it really was like a strange dream.
