This time, Qiao Nian understood. Gu Zhou must have asked Gu Qi to make this call. It was already three in the morning, but Gu Zhou had actually woken Gu Qi up. Did Gu Zhou know that children had to sleep early at night?
Qiao Nian sighed helplessly and said, "There’s really no need. After I’m done, I can go home by myself!"
There was no more movement on the other side of the phone.
Seeing that the call was still connected, Qiao Nian called out in confusion, "Xiao Qi?"
"Nian’er, it’s me." Suddenly, Gu Zhou’s low and hoarse voice came through the phone.
When Qiao Nian heard Gu Zhou’s voice, the blood drained from her face.
The events of that night surged into her mind, catching her off guard. Fear instantly surrounded her.
Qiao Nian’s entire body was cold. Her phone trembled slightly, as if it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. She couldn’t say a word, immersed in the memories of that night.
At this moment, Gu Zhou’s voice came through the phone again.
"Xiao Shi just woke up from her dream. I don’t know how to coax her. Can you come back early to coax her?"
Qiao Nian gradually came back to her senses. Thinking of Xiao Shi’s adorable face, she hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes."
Xiao Shi had seen Song Man jump down from the window with her own eyes. If she could not help Xiao Shi tide through this crisis, she might be covered in this shadow for the rest of her life.
She couldn’t let Xiao Shi live in fear forever, like her.
"How... is she now?"
"I don’t think she’s too good."
Qiao Nian’s frown deepened. She had completely forgotten the fear of that night. Her mind was filled with Xiao Shi.
She could no longer sit still. She said, "I’ll go back now!"
Without waiting for Gu Zhou to speak, Qiao Nian hung up and walked out.
