Chapter 325 Sneaking out of the hotel
Jiang Shiwen patted Jiang Shiyu's shoulder gently, and that hand seemed to carry a soothing power.
His eyes were firm and serious, and he whispered, "Jiang Shiyu, calm down and don't let Xiao Chengcheng find out."
He knew very well that Xiao Chengcheng was delicate and sensitive, and he couldn't let her notice anything unusual and fall into panic.
Jiang Shiyu nodded heavily, his eyes still a little red and swollen. He turned and walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, scooped up cold water with both hands and splashed it on his face.
The coolness of the water sobered him up a little, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
In front of the mirror, Jiang Shiyu looked at his miserable appearance and kept telling himself to be strong and cheer up.
After a while, he came out, and at this time he had become no different from usual.
Little Chengcheng sat on the sofa, hugging the teddy bear tightly with his small body.
She buried her face in the bear's soft body, as if seeking comfort and shelter.
Perhaps it was because she was too exhausted from waiting for her brother, or perhaps it was because the worries in her heart overwhelmed her, Xiao Chengcheng actually fell asleep like that.
When Jiang Shiyu came out, he saw Xiao Chengcheng sleeping quietly.
Seeing Xiao Chengcheng like this, his heart suddenly ached.
Although Xiao Chengcheng has no blood relationship with them, after spending so much time together, in his heart, Xiao Chengcheng is now no different from their biological sister.
Seeing Xiao Chengcheng being so sensible, Jiang Shiyu felt like a big hand was squeezing his heart hard, and the pain and pity were intertwined.
He walked slowly to Xiao Chengcheng, his movements as gentle as if he was touching a precious treasure.
Jiang Shiyu carefully picked up Xiao Chengcheng, feeling her light weight, his heart filled with pity.
He walked steadily into Xiao Chengcheng and Ming Nanjin's room, gently placed Xiao Chengcheng on the bed, and then carefully covered her with a quilt, fearing that she would catch a cold.
Jiang Shiyu stared at Xiao Chengcheng's sleeping face. There were traces of tears on her pink cheeks, which made his heart wrenched again.
He leaned over and gently placed a kiss on Xiao Chengcheng's forehead, as if this kiss could convey all his comfort and promises.
"Chencheng, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Jiang Shiyu's voice was as light as a breeze, and that gentle tone was full of tenderness and firmness.
His eyes were full of concern and comfort, as if he wanted to convey endless strength to Xiao Chengcheng through these brief words.
After saying that, he slowly stood up, his movements slow and gentle, for fear of disturbing the sleeping Xiao Chengcheng. He reached out his hand and gently turned off the light in the room.
In an instant, the room was shrouded in darkness.
In the darkness, he looked at Xiao Chengcheng affectionately again, his eyes full of pity and love. Then he closed the door gently, fearing that there would be any sound.
The moment the door closed, he seemed to have left all his worries inside the house.
But just after Jiang Shiyu went out, in the darkness, a crystal tear slid down from the corner of Xiao Chengcheng's eye and dripped silently onto the pillow.
Those tears seemed to carry her inner pain and anxiety, and looked particularly desolate in the silent darkness.
In fact, she heard everything. Just now when Jiang Shiyu and Jiang Shiwen were talking in the room, she was standing outside the door.
Her small body was pressed against the door, her ears perked up, trying to catch every sound in the room.
With her mind-reading ability, she clearly heard the conversation between the two people inside. At that moment, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
If Little Bear hadn't told her to hold it in, she would have burst into tears right there and then.
A few minutes before Jiang Shiyu came out, Xiao Chengcheng quickly ran to the sofa and lay down, his movements swift and agile.
She covered her face with the little bear and buried her head deeply in it. She tried to adjust her breathing and tried to make herself look normal so that Jiang Shiyu would not see that something was wrong with her.
Now, in this dark and silent room, Xiao Chengcheng couldn't help herself. She curled up in the quilt, as if trying to hide herself.
The little body kept shaking and suppressed cries came out of her throat. The cry was low and sad, full of helplessness and fear.
Her tears were like a flood that soaked the pillow, and her heart was filled with worry and fear for her brother.
She didn't know what had happened to her brother, nor did she know what the future would be like. This unknown fear was like a huge net that bound her tightly.
Little Chengcheng bit her lips tightly under the quilt, her little teeth biting her soft lips hard, trying to use the pain to suppress her crying.
She was afraid that Jiang Shiyu and Jiang Shiwen outside would hear it and would add more troubles to them.
While crying, she prayed silently in her heart that her brother would be safe and return to her soon.
The prayer echoed in her heart, becoming her only support in this dark moment.
The little bear didn't disturb Little Orange, and just stayed quietly by Little Orange's side.
Its soft body gave Xiao Chengcheng a sense of warmth, as if telling her that no matter what, it would always be with her.
Jiang Shiwen and Jiang Shiyu were in the living room, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
Jiang Shiwen ate in silence, and his chewing movements seemed a little mechanical.
He suddenly stopped, looked at Jiang Shiyu and asked, "Where's Chengcheng?" His voice broke the silence, but with a hint of imperceptible worry.
Jiang Shiyu looked in the direction of the room and said, "He fell asleep and was waiting for Jin to come back." There was a hint of helplessness and heartache in his tone.
Jiang Shiwen didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued to eat. Xiao Chengcheng was very important in Ming Nanjin's heart, and at the same time, Ming Nanjin was also very important in Xiao Chengcheng's heart. These two people completely redeemed each other.
Jiang Shiwen and the others didn't know how to tell Xiao Chengcheng about this matter. Xiao Chengcheng didn't know about Ming Nanjin's injury and coma last time. This time they had to hide it from Xiao Chengcheng again. Jiang Shiwen was afraid that he could not keep it a secret.
"After eating, go to bed early. I will replace Yan Zeyu tomorrow and let Yan Zeyu come back to rest."
After Jiang Shiyu finished speaking, he stood up and went back to his room. His back looked a little tired and lonely.
Jiang Shiwen was the only one left in the room.
Jiang Shiwen leaned back on the sofa, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
The spark of the cigarette butt flickered in the darkness. He took a deep breath, and the smoke he exhaled filled the air.
His eyes were empty, as if his thoughts had drifted far away. He thought to himself that if these things were to end quickly, they could live their original peaceful life.
Jiang Shiwen put out his cigarette and stood up.
The last spark of hope died out in the darkness, as if the hope in his heart was also flickering in the darkness.
He turned around and went back to his room to rest. The sound of his footsteps was particularly clear in the silent room.
Just after all the doors were closed, the door of Ming Nanjin's room slowly opened.
Little Chengcheng was holding the teddy bear and carrying a small backpack. He carefully poked his head out from the crack of the door.
Her eyes searched in the darkness, and after seeing that the living room of the hotel suite was pitch black, she walked out cautiously.
Little Bear asked in Little Orange's heart: "Orange, is this really okay for us?"
Xiao Chengcheng nodded firmly, her eyes full of determination. She had heard what Jiang Shiwen and Jiang Shiyu had just said. She must go find her brother now!
