Chapter 95

It was settled that Shang Wenli would be staying over at Jiang Wei's place. After getting her mother settled in her own room, Jiang Wei found an excuse to shut the bedroom door and come out.

Jiang Wei tiptoed her way to the balcony, where she found the pitiful Yi Ming crouched in the corner, shivering.

"My mom is staying here tonight."

Jiang Wei quietly fetched a jacket from Yi Ming's room and handed it to him. With the strong wind on the balcony and Yi Ming only wearing his pajamas, she was worried he might catch a cold.

"Huh?" Yi Ming was putting on the jacket when he suddenly froze. "Your auntie is staying... then what should I do?"

Jiang Wei pursed her lips, lowering her head to ponder for a few seconds. "Wait for my message. Once my mom falls asleep, I'll come get you. I told her that the roommate next door doesn't like others entering her room, so you can sneak in and sleep there. My mom won't find out there's someone inside."

After some thought, Yi Ming seemed to realize this was the only option.

"Okay."

Before Shang Wenli could finish, she burst into laughter herself. "Even back then, you depended on Yi Ming a lot. That kid was truly adorable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei felt a twinge in her heart. She pursed her lips and smiled lightly. "But all he could sing back then was 'The Yellow River Cantata.' When he came and sang it for me, it stirred up so much emotion that I couldn't fall asleep at all..."

As Jiang Wei finished speaking, mother and daughter broke into a fit of joyful laughter that filled the small room...

"Daughter."

"Yes, Mom."

"That Yi Ming... Isn't he from your school too? Where does he live now?"

Shang Wenli's sudden question made Jiang Wei tense up. She clutched the blanket and said, "He lives in the dorms."

"Hmm..." Shang Wenli nodded pensively. "I should meet him some time. Since you two are studying together, I need him to look after you a little."

"Mom, you don't need to meet him. He knows... He'll look after me."
