He Leaned on Her Shoulder and Fell Asleep

Qi Jing came up with such an excuse because he really treated her like a child, not that he wasn't smart enough.

He felt that with her character and mind like a child, she wouldn't be able to tell that he was lying.

Even if she could, she wouldn't have thought that he, as the head of the Qi family, would lie about such a small matter.

Yet, she couldn't directly tell him that she knew everything and wasn't a child.

Moreover, he would not believe her even if she told him.

Sigh.

The romance journey was destined to be long.

She was a little regretful that he had said that he wanted to send her to school on the day of his business trip.

If he had not said that back then, he would not have returned to China so quickly.

Even if he had returned in a rush, he could rest at home instead of coming to school to pick her up.

Although she was regretful and felt sorry for him, she was still very happy to see that he came to pick her up.

"If you are tired, lie back and rest for a while."

She let go of his arm and rested her back on the car's back rest.

She softened her body and patted her shoulder, her eyes curved. "You can rest on your shoulder."

Qi Jing's gaze fell on her shoulder.

According to his usual style of doing things, he would definitely reject her.

However..

Seeing the heartache and hope in her eyes, his mouth was quicker than his brain. "Okay."

By the time he reacted, the words had already left his mouth.

If he went back on his words, the child would probably be very disappointed.

He simply tilted his head and leaned against her shoulder, closing his eyes.

The girl deliberately softened her body so that he could lean on her more comfortably.

Her body carried a faint fragrance that lingered in his nostrils.

He was very relaxed and comfortable.

The business trip was supposed to span a whole week.

When he arrived there, he realised that the situation was a little serious.

If things went according to his original schedule, he would have to stay there for at least five more days.

He thought of the look in the girl's eyes when he went out, when she hoped that he would send her to school on her first day.

He thought of the girl's parents' negligence toward her.

He did not want to see her feeling down like when he found her by the beach that day, so he worked overtime.

Yet, he still couldn't make it back in the morning.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the plane landed at Yu City.

He directly asked the driver who sent her to school to pick him up at the airport, and drove directly to school to fetch her.

He was indeed a little sleepy.

After a while, one could hear his light and evenly-paced breathing.

The driver was very observant.

The car was out of the congested road and he still drove very slowly and steadily.

He avoided looking into the rear-view mirror.

Therefore, no one saw that Xia Yunshu's smile was no longer that innocent after Qi Jing fell asleep.

She still had a faint smile on her soft and baby-fat face, but when she looked at Qi Jing who was sleeping soundly, there was not a hint of child innocence and purity in her eyes.

Her slightly sharp gaze landed on his face.

There was a hint of heartache and doting, as well as... her determination to get him.

In order to make him feel more comfortable, she softened her body again and supported his shoulders.

Her other hand rested on her pleated skirt.

Her fingertips gently caressed it.

In the end, she couldn't resist it and slowly raised her hand, which landed on Qi Jing's exquisite side profile.

Her hand was very white, slender and slender, rumored to be like a scallion's root.

Her palm touched his face.

His skin was not inferior to hers.

It was delicate and smooth.

However, in terms of whiteness, she fared better.

Qi Jing was also an extremely sensitive person.

If he was not completely relaxed, he would have woken up before Xia Yunshu's hand touched him.

However, even when he was completely relaxed, Xia Yunshu's hand rested on his face for less than half a minute.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Afraid that she would wake him up, Xia Yunshu withdrew her hand.
