369 Good Night, I Love You 2 (2/2)

Looking at her smiling face, his lips couldn't help but twitch with good humor. He added, ”Your work starts at 9 am, better go catch some sleep while you can.”

”Okay.” Song Qingchun nodded and replied, ”You too.”

Su Zhinian nodded silently. Song Qingchun turned and prepared to run into the house when she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, ”There is an event at Song Empire this afternoon, are you going?”

”I probably won't be able to make it; I have something else to do.”

She wanted to fetch a ride from him if he was going. Song Qingchun sighed with regret and pointed at the front door saying, ”Then, I shall go in first.”

Su Zhinian nodded and stood where he was watching her disappear into the house. As the sound of her steps running up the stairs drifted into his ears, he whispered, ”Tingting, good night.”

His good night was beyond a simple salutation; it encapsulated his dream, hope, desire, love, and most of all, an apologetic regret, a regret that he wouldn't be able to give her more good night's in the future and an apology that he wouldn't be able to stay by her side forever.

When Song Qingchun returned to her bedroom and shrugged off her coat, she felt moisture under her fingertips when she accidentally brushed up against the woolly collar of her jacket.

It felt like some sort of liquid was stuck to it.

This is weird… Was the mist that heavy this morning?

Song Qingchun frowned as her fingers touched the damp spot. For some reason, her heart started to ache.
