658 Holding Hands (3)

“No need. I know what to do. You can leave,” Shen Miao said.

Mo Qing stopped talking and left in silence. Shen Miao looked around and her gaze landed on the half-open window in the room.

She instructed Gu Yu, “Open the window wider.”

Gu Yu was puzzled. “Miss, the wind is still blowing outside. You’ll catch a cold.” She really found it puzzling. When Shen Miao was young, she was very afraid of the cold. For some reason, she seemed to like to sleep with the window open at night these days.

!!

“I’m not cold.” Shen Miao said calmly, “Go and open it.”

Gu Yu glanced at Shen Miao’s thick outer clothes, but she did not ask further. She opened the window in confusion.

For the entire day, Shen Miao stayed in the house. From time to time, she would glance at the window, causing Jingzhe and Gu Yu to look at the window too. They thought that something would bloom there, but there was clearly nothing on the windowsill. Shen Miao read for a while before walking to the window and standing there for a while.

Unknowingly, the sky turned dark. After dinner, Jingzhe and Gu Yu left. Shen Miao felt that it was silent outside, as if the entire capital was in a deep sleep. There was still nothing in the window.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. Bored, she played with the chess piece in her hand. Gradually, she became sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the table.

When Xie Jingxing entered the room, he saw Shen Miao sleeping soundly on the table. The window was open, and the candlelight was swaying slightly because of the cold wind. Shen Miao was sleeping quietly with her head buried in her arms.

He walked to Shen Miao’s side and looked down at her. After a pause, he took off his cloak and gently covered Shen Miao.
