Chapter 267 They clearly agreed not to leave
That night, they didn't fall asleep until the sky was just beginning to lighten.
As soon as the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, Qian Duoduo opened her sleepy eyes.
She looked at Su Yanli, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, and gently kissed his forehead.
She quietly packed up and left, wanting to prepare breakfast for Su Yanli before going to find Shen Zicen.
After working for almost half an hour, the meal was finally ready.
Because she was worried that Su Yanli would get up too late and the noodles would clump together, she specially cooked porridge.
She even used the few words she knew to write a note for Su Yanli and left it by her bedside.
When Qian Duoduo went out, she could barely see half of the sun hanging in the sky.
By this time, the security escort agency had already opened its doors, and many people were practicing their skills in the courtyard.
Niannian doesn't need anyone to wake her up; she gets up on her own when the time comes, actually because she's been woken up by the "humph" and "ha" sounds outside.
By this time, she was already running laps in the yard. After finishing her laps, she was going to find Father A-Cen to receive her mission.
Qian Duoduo glanced around the courtyard and, not seeing Shen Zicen, went straight to the study.
She already knew the layout of the escort agency like the back of her hand. When she used to accompany A-Cen, he was often at the agency, and she would stroll around when she had nothing to do.
At the security escort agency, Shen Zicen would either watch everyone practice their skills in the courtyard or organize things in the study.
So when she didn't see Shen Zicen, she subconsciously assumed he was in the study.
Others, seeing how familiar Qian Duoduo was with the place, assumed she was someone's mother.
If Shen San and the other elders were here, they would recognize who she is. But ever since Niannian started training, Shen Zicen has been personally supervising her, and they have all been reassigned to other places.
No one stopped her, and Qian Duoduo entered the study without any hindrance.
She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door. When she heard no response, she slowly pushed the door open and saw Shen Zicen slumped over the table.
He slept with his head resting on the desk, looking as if he had stayed up very late the night before.
Qian Duoduo quietly stepped forward, took off her coat, and carefully covered Shen Zicen with it.
Seeing his brows furrowed in unease, she knew he wasn't sleeping soundly, so she gently patted Shen Zicen's back.
Shen Zicen dreamed of Qian Duoduo again. In the dream, Qian Duoduo had just turned around and heartlessly abandoned her, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have returned.
She was hugging herself tightly, her breath filling her nostrils.
He murmured softly, "Duoduo, don't go, don't leave me~"
His voice was muffled. Qian Duoduo had just bent down to listen when her eyes inadvertently caught sight of the portrait in his hand.
The person in the portrait looked somewhat familiar, but because Shen Zicen had covered most of it, she couldn't recognize herself.
The only thing visible was the blurry eyes.
Qian Duoduo was staring intently at the portrait when she suddenly noticed that the area under the portrait's eyes was somewhat blurred.
She looked at the roof in confusion; it wasn't raining. Then she touched the corner of her mouth; she wasn't drooling...
Just as she was about to take a closer look, she realized it was a tear in Shen Zicen's eye.
She gently rolled up her sleeve and carefully wiped away his tears. Seeing how much Ah Cen valued this portrait, she knew he would be heartbroken if he knew.
Shen Zicen was still immersed in his dream, telling Qian Duoduo about his longing for her.
She was still gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes when Shen Zicen couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Qian Duoduo's hand. "Don't go, okay?"
In the dream, Qian Duoduo didn't answer, but just smiled calmly and gently comforted him.
Not hearing Qian Duoduo's promise, Shen Zicen became a little anxious; this was the first time she had stayed in her dream for so long.
He couldn't help but ask again, his voice choked with emotion, "Don't go, okay?"
Tears streamed down my face once again.
This time, Qian Duoduo heard it and quickly patted Shen Zicen on the back, making a promise in his ear.
"I'm not leaving, I'm never leaving again, I'm staying here."
The sounds of reality reached Shen Zicen's ears in his dream, and he smiled happily.
In reality, Shen Zicen's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Seeing that Shen Zicen had calmed down, Qian Duoduo thought of cooking some porridge for him so he could drink it when he woke up.
She gently pulled her hand away from Shen Zicen's and patted his back, trying to help him sleep more soundly.
In her dream, Shen Zicen was still immersed in Qian Duoduo's embrace.
Suddenly, a soft creak woke Shen Zicen from her sleep.
In his dream, Qian Duoduo disappeared. He opened his hazy eyes and vaguely saw Qian Duoduo's figure walking towards the sun, gradually moving away from him.
He tried to reach out and touch it, but his arm had become stiff from being there for so long.
The door suddenly closed, and the study became somewhat dim.
He seemed to have just woken up from a dream. "Duoduo, you're leaving."
He thought what he had just seen was a scene from a dream.
He touched the tears on his cheeks, then slumped over his desk.
"I want to see Duoduo one last time before she goes too far."
He didn't notice the extra jacket on his back; his mind was filled with the promise Qian Duoduo had just made to him.
"You clearly said you wouldn't leave."
He closed his eyes and murmured softly again, his hoarse voice filled with sadness and grievance.
