Cheng Jiu let out a sigh, wanting to say something more. Seeing her pale face, he sighed almost imperceptibly and called out, "Xin Gan."
Only then did Xin Gan turn around and look at him, asking, "Huh?"
Cheng Jiu pursed his lips and said, "Nothing."
Xin Gan withdrew his gaze and then sat back in the car.
Cheng Jiu crushed out the cigarette butt before returning to the driver's seat.
Xiao Shi gave Xin Gan some motion sickness medicine. Xin Gan took it and heard Cheng Jiu say, "Little brat, sit in the front and let sister lie down."
Xiao Shi: "..."
Cheng Jiu: "Xiao Shi, hold him and sit with you."
Xiao Shi: "..."
Xin Gan: "..."
After lying down, Xin Gan felt less uncomfortable. She was drowsy and wanted to sleep. She vaguely saw Cheng Jiu looking at her through the rearview mirror. Their eyes met and they immediately moved away.
Cheng Jiu remained expressionless and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Xin Gan lowered her head, and the fingers that were holding her arm involuntarily curled up forcefully.
Xiao Shi held Asongli in his arms and began to tell a story. Asongli was afraid of Cheng Jiu. When Cheng Jiu gave him a glance, he looked as if he was about to cry or not.
Xiao Shi felt a moment of silence in his heart. He couldn't even help a child...
Xin Gan fell asleep, his sleeping position was honest. Even when sleeping, his lips were closed. Some people would unconsciously open their mouths to sleep when they were asleep. Those who keep their mouths closed while sleeping should have developed a long-term habit.
Passing by a gas station, Cheng Jiu drove in to refuel. While refueling, he noticed Xin Gan's sleeping position.
The air conditioning was on in the car. Afraid that she would be cold, Cheng Jiu took the small blanket that was always kept in the car and wrapped it over her.
Xiao Shi had been secretly observing Cheng Jiu's every move. It seemed that he had witnessed something extraordinary. He was very excited but still held back and didn't show it. He was afraid that if he did, Cheng Jiu would find out and he would surely be scolded.
After refueling, Cheng Jiu continued driving.
At noon, the temperature rose very high. The sun shone fiercely overhead, creating a significant temperature difference with the car.
Xin Gan slept for more than two hours and woke up once. Her eyes couldn't open and she was still very sleepy. She muttered something and fell asleep again.
Xiao Shi's phone suddenly rang. Cheng Jiu glanced over and asked him to keep his voice down. Xiao Shi immediately understood. He said sorry with a lip and answered the call in a very low voice.
Cheng Jiu didn't know why, but his mood suddenly improved a bit. He looked at the person in the back seat several times. She was in a deep sleep and seemed not so uncomfortable anymore. Her brows relaxed and her lips curled up, as if she had had a good dream. Her lips also curved a little. In the next second, he heard her murmur in her sleep: "He Cheng..."
Just from the pronunciation, it can be judged that this is a man's name.
Cheng Zhu lost his eyes and suddenly withdrew his sight and did not go to see her.
When Xin Gan woke up again, it was around six o 'clock in the afternoon. There was a two-hour time difference between Beiyu and Yongcheng. It got dark later here, around eight o 'clock in the evening. Now it was around six o 'clock, but it was still like two or three o 'clock in the afternoon in Yongcheng.
The sun outside was blinding. Xin Gan placed her hand in front of her eyes to block it. It took her quite a while to get used to the light. Subconsciously, she asked, "Are you there yet?"
Xiao Shi said, "Not yet. It's only six o 'clock now. There are still more than two hours left. Are you feeling better?" Miss Xin?
"Much better. Thank you."
"Miss Xin, you're too kind. It's just a little busy."
Xin Gan woke up. Asonli naturally wanted to go back to the back seat and sit with her, not wanting to be held.
Xiao Shi let him crawl back to the back seat.
Asongli sat against Xinggan. Xinggan patted his head and said, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
