"Then I'm leaving."
After making sure Qingxue had arrived home safely, Xia Liang pressed the elevator button, ready to leave. Just as he was about to go, Qingxue suddenly called out to him.
"Wait..."
Xia Liang turned his head and looked at Qingxue's blushing cheeks, a little puzzled. "Is there something else?"
Qingxue's face grew even redder, and her voice came out in a stutter. "Um, my parents are away on a business trip today. Can... can you stay with me? I'm scared."
She finished, looking at Xia Liang with a hopeful expression.
This...
Xia Liang subconsciously swallowed. If I stay here tonight, I could probably...
He immediately looked back at Qingxue. "What? Your parents aren't home? It's so dangerous for you to be alone!"
Seeing Xia Liang's worried gaze, Qingxue felt a surge of joy. This idiot has finally caught on! He's actually worried about my safety today. Does that mean he'll stay over tonight? At the thought, her heart skipped a beat.
