The call was picked up only after a long time.

Gu Shaoting was in a meeting when Shu Pan called. When he saw the caller ID, the cold expression on his face seemed to soften a little. He made a pause gesture, walked out of the conference room, and picked up the phone.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shaoting asked gently, but his voice sounded a little tired.

Shu Pan’s heart ached when she heard this.

When she heard his voice, her soft voice rang out. “Shaoting, are you still busy?”

“Yeah, it might take some time. I was busy just now and forgot to call you. Joy hasn’t finished class yet, right?” Gu Shaoting’s voice was very soft. He was too busy today and forgot to call Shu Pan.

He had neglected his duty!

“Alright, I’ll pick Joy up later. You…” Shu Pan wanted to say that she should not disturb him so that he could settle the matter quickly, but she suddenly paused when the words were about to come out of her mouth. Instead, she said, “Are you in the office now? I’ve already prepared the food. I’ll pack the food and then go pick up Joy. I’ll go to the office to look for you for dinner.”

Gu Shaoting thought for a moment and refused without hesitation. “No, go home after you pick up Joy. Don’t wait for me to eat. I don’t know how long I’ll be busy.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not too late anyway.”

“No need.” Gu Shaoting’s tone sank a little, with a toughness that could not be rejected.

Shu Pan’s enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. She bit her lips and replied with an “Oh.”

Perhaps sensing her unhappiness, he paused for a moment before coaxing her again. “Don’t come all the way here. It’s too tiring. Besides, it’s dark and not safe. I’ll be back soon after I’m done. Be good.”

He coaxed her like the way he did to Joy. Shu Pan suddenly felt a little shy.

However, she was happy again when she knew that he cared about her.

It was easy for her to worry about gains and losses.

Shu Pan nagged like a wife, “Then I’ll make noodles for you when you finish your work. Don’t be too late. You’ve always had stomach problems. It’s because of your work.”

“Yes, I know. I’ll be careful.” The corridor of the office was very quiet. A few higher-ups were in the conference room, and everyone else had already gotten off work.

He walked to the balcony and looked at the lights outside. The neon lights were chaotic and dazzled. Listening to Shu Pan’s instructions, he felt exceptionally calm and warm.

It was good to have someone who cared for his warmth and coldness. At least he was not alone now. He was not a walking corpse. He had warmth.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan packed her things and went to pick up Joy.

After returning with Joy, she ate and took a shower. Shu Pan looked at the time. It was almost 10 0’clock and Gu Shaoting was still not back. Forget it. She would lie down first and then cook noodles for him when he came back.

Hence, she waited for a long time. As she waited, she fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, Shu Pan woke up very early. She thought it was night.

Gu Shaoting was a light sleeper, so he woke up when Shu Pan woke up.

Only then did Shu Pan realize that she was lying on his chest. Shu Pan was hugging his medicine and finally regained consciousness. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you wake me up? You didn’t eat last night, right?”

“I came back last night and made a glass of milk. Didn’t you make soup? I drank a bowl too.”

He just woke up, so his voice was a little hoarse. He hugged her gently and gave her a good morning kiss.

“Oh.” Shu Pan still blamed herself for being too sleepy..
