Living With a Temperamental Adonis 99 Proclamations of Love
Chapter 282: A Fool for Life 3By the time Song Qingchun finished giving her statement, it was already 1 am. They had missed the New Year fireworks.
Qin Yinan was worried that Song Qingchun was hungry after such a long, stressful event, so when they passed a 24-hour fast food chain, he turned around to ask, "Song Song, are you hungry? Do you want to go have something to eat?"
"I'm not hungry…" Song Qingchun shook her head before adding, "I'm just tired; I wish to go home to rest."
"Okay," Qin Yinan answered, and he pulled his focus back onto the road.

Song Qingchun looked at the passing neon lights through the window and realized that night was probably the first time she had ever rejected an invitation by Qin Yinan. Previously, she would have given up the entire world to have her Brother Yinan invite her out for supper.
Song Menghwa and Fang Rou were already asleep when they reached the Song family's home. Qin Yinan was afraid that he might accidentally wake up the rest of the family, so he bade Song Qingchun at the door. Before parting, he added with worry and concern, "Remember to drink something warm before you sleep, make sure the heater in your room is on, and use the comforter to cover up your body. You might not feel bad now, but I fear you might not feel too comfortable later into the night. The cold of the lake might cause a fever or flu, so if you need me, just call."
After Qin Yinan returned to his car, he didn't start his engine straight away but pulled out his phone. He expected unread messages or unanswered calls from Tang Nuan, but other than a bunch of spam wishes, there was nothing from Tang Nuan.
Qin Yinan first gave her a call, but there was no response. He knew that she was unhappy, so he sent a conciliatory message. "How's your stomach? Are you feeling better?"
There was no reply.
Qin Yinan sent another message. "I'll go see you now, how does that sound?"
Still no reply.
After a long silence, Qin Yinan sent yet another message. "Tang Nuan, I know you're not happy that I've ignored you even though you're not feeling well tonight, but you have to understand that Song Song is like my own little sister; she is very important to me. How can I possible leave her after what happened tonight? Furthermore, Song Cheng was my best friend in the whole world. Now that he's no longer with us, it is my responsibility to help him take care of his little sister."
There was still no reply. Qin Yinan tried calling again and realized Tang Nuan had turned off her phone. His lips stretched into a thin line and tossed his phone onto the passenger seat before driving away.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSong Qingchun did heat a cup of warm milk before going to bed. Then, she turned off the light and snuggled into her bed.
Song Qingchun's body and heart were tired after everything that had happened that night, but she didn't feel even a little drowsy.
The night was quiet except for the occasional sound of firecrackers.
As these different sounds drifted into her eyes, Song Qingchun reminisced about the things that had happened at the grassy bank of North Sea Garden.
It had been two hours, but she could feel the tingling sensation the kiss had left on her lips.
She was alone in her room, but a blush still rose to her face as her heart started to beat fast, and an inexplicable feeling of intimate warmth burgeoned within her.
