set fire to his heart

Mia was dragged by the clothes and hair of Shen Siqing who was asleep.

Unable to put her son down, she tried to solve the current predicament by herself.

Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

Just when she was hesitating whether to ask Shen Shili for help, a tall figure appeared in her peripheral vision.

What followed was his unique aura.

And the touch of his fingers touching her hair, the hand that was still struggling with itself, was stunned in mid-air because of this.

Her hair is past her shoulders.

She took off her coat and was wearing a pullover at this time.

When Shen Shili didn't say a word, but stood silently behind her and helped to push Shen Siqing's little hand away, his fingertips touched Mia's neck as if nothing.

Although his movements were very light, so light that she could hardly feel them, she could still clearly feel his presence.

Her skin seemed to have a burst of electricity rushing through it in a way that others did not know.

Mia tried to stay calm.

With her back to Shen Shili, she secretly swallowed with difficulty.

Her body involuntarily froze in place, and she didn't even notice when Shen Shili pushed the little hand off her sweater.

until.

Shen Shili reminded her: "Okay."

Those two short words clearly entered her ears.

His presence so close at hand made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Also because of her performance.

Shen Shili felt her feelings.

He took the initiative to take a step back and said, "I'm sorry, because Secretary Si always makes things difficult for you."

Shen Shili's initiative to distance himself was noticed by Mia.

This brought her back to her senses.

Without waiting for Mia to speak, Shen Shili assured her: "Don't worry, even if we live in the same room, I will never do anything that crosses the line with you."

He solemnly expressed his opinion to her.

But in Mia's mind, she thought of the picture of her and her son living in his house before that.

Even though she was pretending to be asleep the whole time.

But she could clearly feel everything he did.

Mia didn't expose him.

After all, she couldn't give him another chance to commit another crime.

If there is another time, she will deal with it head-on, let him die and embarrass him.

She made the decision silently in her heart, and she responded lightly, then put down her son and let him lie flat on the bed.

"Do you want to sleep too?"

Shen Shili asked her.

Seeing that he was about to continue packing his luggage, Mia wondered, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I am not sleepy."

Shen Shili said, raising his eyes to look at her.

The pupils behind those lenses are deep and sincere, and also bloodshot.

Mia frowned in displeasure: "Aren't you tired after driving alternately with Fu Yanshen for so long today?"

"Not tired."

Shen Shili answered her seriously: "As long as it's for you, I won't feel tired no matter what I do."

He speaks sincerely.

But in Mia's ears, it made her feel burdened.

Thinking that if she was awake, the two of them would not be able to avoid talking all the time, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to stare.

thought here.

Mia walked around to the other side of the bed and said, "It's up to you, then I'll sleep for a while."

After leaving these words, she lifted the quilt and lay on the same bed as Shen Siqing, with her back to him, leaving him with an indifferent back.

"..." Shen Shili's lips parted slightly.

He hesitated.

Seeing that she didn't answer and only responded in an evasive way, Shen Shili was helpless and powerless.

In the end, he still forcibly swallowed back everything he wanted to say.

In the bedroom, fell into silence.

Shen Siqing was already sound asleep.

Mia, with her eyes closed, turned her back to Shen Shili, but she could still clearly hear the sound of Shen Shili continuing to pack his luggage.

Compared with just now, his movements became obviously lighter, and the noise was minimal.

In the small sound he made.

Mia fell asleep unconsciously.

when she wakes up.

The sight in front of him was already pitch black.

Only the lamp on the bedside table was on, and the light was dim and weak.

Mia, who opened her eyes, was in a trance for a moment, but when she saw the empty bed beside her and another clean and tidy bed, she gradually woke up.

She is in Fu's old house.

You obviously took a nap, why did it get dark when you woke up?
How long has she been asleep...

Mia took out her phone to check, and the time had already shown seven o'clock in the evening.

That is, she slept for nearly four hours.

Realizing the length of time, she rested her forehead with a headache, and was able to sleep for so long.

Everyone should have had dinner, right?

Mia was thinking so.

She heard a burst of laughter from outside.

In addition, there was Lu Beichen's noisy voice.

Mia lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

She came to the window, opened the curtain suspiciously, and looked towards the source of the sound.

Subsequently.

and she saw—

The backyard of the old house has a whole lawn and several big trees.

At this moment, one of the big trees was hung with light strips, and the lawn under the tree was covered with picnic mats, and a canopy and tents were set up beside it.

Su Yining, Fu Mianmian, and Shen Siqing sat on the cushions, and in front of them were the half-eaten barbecue skewers and fruits.

Luo Yihan and Lu Beichen went back and forth in the seating area of ​​the sky, passing drinks and snacks.

On the other side, a bonfire was burning.

Fu Yanshen and Shen Shili were standing in front of the grill without saying a word.

Several people gathered together.

The atmosphere of getting along is very harmonious and the picture is beautiful.

Mia, who was standing at the window, watched this scene from a certain distance, and her heart softened for no reason.

Under the night, this scene is really poignant.

The weather is cold, but the smell of fireworks in the world warms people's hearts.

Mia's eyes swept over them, and finally fell on Shen Shili involuntarily.

His hands were still wrapped in gauze.

Different from Fu Yanshen who occasionally walked away to pay attention to Su Yining, he lowered his head the whole time, earnestly grilling skewers for everyone, and the atmosphere around him was a little lonely.

This reminded her of Shen Shili's experience.

When he was three or five years old, he lived abroad because his parents divorced.

Since he was a child, he didn't have any close friends, so he focused on improving himself, so that he has a lot of life skills, a good education and career.

But there is always a natural coldness and aloofness about him, no matter how gentle and refined he is on the surface, it is difficult for him to open his heart to others.

Perhaps Shen Siqing's insecurity was inherited from his father to some extent?
thought here.

Mia's mood is a little delicate.

Her gaze involuntarily fixed on Shen Shili's body.

And Shen Shili, who lowered his head and concentrated on grilling the whole time, seemed to feel her gaze for some reason.

He couldn't help raising his head, looking in the direction of the room where she was...
