Taking A Step Back (2)

Su Chen stood where he was and looked down at her for quite a while. The light in his black eyes flickered for a moment. He handed her the coat in his hand and took the glass of water from her hand. He took two sips before his hoarse voice came through.

"Why are you still up so late? Didn't I tell you to go to bed at 10:30? Are you feeling better?"

There was some reproach in his tone, and it was not difficult to hear the faint concern in his voice. He was not as gloomy as before he left.

Under his sharp gaze, she could only lower her eyes quietly. "I'm feeling much better. Sister said that you would be back tonight, so I just waited. Have you had dinner... "

Before the last syllable fell, Su Chen had already placed the cup in his hand on the table at the side. He spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace. The force was so strong that it seemed like he was going to break her slender waist, he held her tightly.
