Chapter 474: Persistence Needs No Reason

Su Mu didn't show any surprise when Fu Shinian agreed to stay. It was as if he had anticipated that Su Mu would compromise for Qiqi's sake. He nodded slightly towards Su Mu, as if to thank her, yet there was a sense of unfamiliarity to it. This gave Su Mu a disconcerting feeling, but she didn't reveal it.

Although Qiqi had briefly woken up, she was still listless. When Su Mu asked if she wanted to eat, Qiqi shook her head and just asked for water. As Su Mu prepared to get out of bed, Fu Shinian stopped her again, saying, "I'll do it."

Fu Shinian came back quickly, carefully helping Qiqi drink a few sips of water through a straw. Perhaps worried that Fu Shinian would leave, Qiqi insisted that he lay down quickly. Fu Shinian gave a small smile, placed the water glass on the nightstand, and lay down beside Qiqi.

Qiqi said, "Fu Shinian, you didn't take the blanket. Are you still planning to run away later?"
