Su Zixi woke up just as the car stopped at Hades Manor.
She rubbed her eyes groggily, looking at the dimming sky. Before she had a chance to ask, He Jingyao's voice came from above her head, "Zhixi, we're home."
She hummed absently.
He Jingyao watched her dazed expression, a tenderness flowing in his eyes. He gently patted her cheek, then carried her out of the car and straight into the house.
Mr. Li had already been waiting in the living room.
"Young master, Young Mistress, you're back," he said with a smile. "The lady was here all afternoon, wanting to personally make sure the Young Mistress was safe. But then the young lady called for her, and the lady had to leave first."
He Jingyao nodded, "Call her, I'll take Zhixi there tomorrow."
"Alright." Mr. Li nodded.
Su Zixi was still not fully awake, overhearing these conversations in a daze. She wanted to say she could go right now, but sleepiness proved too overpowering, and she soon fell asleep again ...
