The young girl ran all the way back against the wind, returning to that warm and cozy home.
She nervously pressed down the door handle to the master bedroom, walking cautiously with every step, afraid of alerting the man lying on the bed.
Yet before she could even put down her backpack, a familiar deep voice reached her ears.
"Where did you go?" Shi Wei opened his eyes, his dark pupils fixed intently on the girl's back.
Yu Zhi: "..."
She pressed her lips together, lowered her head slightly, and walked up to the man, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Just... went to the Yu Family for a bit."
Shi Wei leaned against the headboard, his obsidian-like eyes sinking deeper and deeper.
He remained silent for a few seconds before pulling the little girl standing before him into his arms: "Why didn't you tell me?"
The man stroked her cheek, seemingly gentle, yet each touch carried a crazed possessiveness that made the girl shudder repeatedly.
