Xie Liangchen hurriedly headed outside, vaguely hearing Song Xian calling her name inside the house, unsure of what else he was saying.
She didn't want to listen; if given the choice, she wouldn't hear a single word he said tonight.
After walking a certain distance, Xie Liangchen turned to look at the entrance of the east wing to ensure Song Xian hadn't followed her. She took a deep breath.
So be it, if he runs out again, it has nothing to do with her.
Of course, if possible, she would love to find two pieces of wood to nail the door shut, trapping the big and small drunk inside.
Returning to the main house, Mrs. Gao had already fallen asleep. Xie Liangchen quickly freshened up, locked the door, and lay down beside Mrs. Gao.
As things quieted down, sleep didn't come as expected.
"Can I call you... Sister...?"
"Sister... is that okay?"
Those eyes, different from usual and slightly intoxicated, were fixed on her, the voice slightly low.
"Sister."
