Every year, she would receive a lot of red packets, each thicker than the last.

“How is that the same? This is my personal gift to you.” Qi Shenbai’s deep voice slowly came from the other end of the phone—

“Every kid gets a red packet from every one of their loved ones, right?”

Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth in time to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

He was so good at this flirting thing. Was this really his first time in a relationship?

The two of them fell quiet, enjoying the silence together. Their soft breathing was transmitted through the electromagnetic waves, causing Xu Jiaojiao’s ears to feel numb from time to time.

“Jiaojiao, my girl…” After an unknown period of time, his voice came from the other end of the phone again. His voice was soft. “…1 miss you.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s heart suddenly twisted painfully in her chest. The smile on her lips gradually faded.

His voice was hoarse and filled with indescribable fatigue. He seemed to be very tired now — Very, very tired.

“Little girls should sleep early. Good night.”

Xu Jiaojiao gently pursed her lips and whispered, “Good night.”

The call had already ended. Xu Jiaojiao looked down at the thick red packet in her hand. Her ears kept replaying his tired voice. It was as if a big hole had suddenly been poked in her heart, and the cold wind was whistling through it. It hurt.

She suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that Qi Shenbai needed her right now.

She had to see him. She had to.

Xu Jiaojiao did not hesitate and immediately called Cang Xing. Then, she stood up and threw the red packet and her phone cable into her bag before changing her clothes.

It was getting late, and most of the family had already gone to bed. Xu Jiaojiao gently opened the door and tiptoed out, not daring to make a sound.

She made it downstairs, but just as she was about to walk toward the door, she suddenly heard a calm voice behind her. “Where are you going in the middle of the night?”

Xu Jiaojiao was shocked and her body stiffened for a moment. She turned to look at the source of the voice and forced a smile. “Brother…”

Xu Zhengyang held a cup in his hand and said softly, “Are you going to look for that old dog Qi?”

Xu Jiaojiao had been creeping around with her back hunched all this while. Now her back was sore, so she simply stood up straight and whispered, “He called me just now, and I can tell he’s in a very bad state. He needs me!” “Oh? And what can you do to help him?” Xu Zhengyang smiled mockingly. “What do you know about the Qi family?”

“Not much, but 1 know he’s my boyfriend. If he needs me, 1 have to be there for him.” Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and looked straight into Xu Zhengyang’s eyes. Her gaze was unwavering and resolute.

Xu Zhengyang was silent. After a while, he finally squeezed out three words, “Must you go?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded without hesitation. “I have to go!” She softened her tone and begged, “Brother, just let me go. If I don’t go, I’ll definitely regret it in the future.”

That inexplicable intuition was so strong that it told Xu Jiao jiao that if she did not go tonight, she would definitely regret it.

Xu Zhengyang did not say anything. He raised his head and drank the water in one gulp. Then, he placed the cup on the cabinet beside him. “Alright, I’ll send you to the airport.”

Xu Jiaojiao felt as if a rock had been lifted from her heart. The smile on her face came from the bottom of her heart. “You’re the best!”

“Hmph.” Xu Zhengyang snorted coldly. “If you stand by again the next time I’m in danger, I’ll immediately Mom and Dad you snuck off to meet a man in the middle of the night!”

Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly waved her hand. “I would never! If Mom scolds you again from now on, I’ll definitely jump in and take on the heat for you. Brother, remember to tell Dad and Mom that I went to visit Luoluo.”

Xu Zhengyang did not say anything after that. He focused on driving her to the airport and sent her all the way to the security checkpoint.

“Text me when you land.”

Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly nodded. “No problem.”

Just as she was about to turn around and walk toward the security checkpoint, she heard Xu Zhengyang call out to her again.

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and looked at Xu Zhengyang.

He just stood there without saying anything for a long time, his expression complicated. He wanted to say something but could not find the words.

Xu Jiaojiao took a few steps toward Xu Zhengyang with a confused expression on her face. “Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. If you continue to hesitate, I’ll have to change my flight.”

She had booked the earliest flight to City A, so she did not have much time.

“Uh…” Xu Zhengyang cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Be careful over there..”
