He jolted awake and sat up, glancing at the bed and seeing she was already gone.
He lifted the quilt and immediately got out of bed, rushing toward the door barefoot without even bothering with shoes. His hand had just landed on the doorknob when the door was pushed open.
He took two steps back and stopped, as Xia Ting pushed the door open, came in, and closed it.
He went up at once and pulled her into his arms, hugging her very, very tightly.
His voice trembled as he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you go?!"
"I went to see Xingyun, and I bought breakfast on the way back for you."
"Why didn't you tell me! I thought you…"
"I'm not going to leave."
"From now on, no matter where you go, you have to tell me first, got it?!" Chen Li closed his eyes and let out a breath. He'd slept too deeply last night.
He hadn't noticed at all that she got up and went out. If she had left quietly, what would he have done!
Luckily she didn't leave, thank god!
"Got it." Xia Ting nodded.
