"I'll be back soon, I'm staying here tonight," he said.
Chen Jieyu nodded, then turned her head to glance at him.
She suddenly remembered that Cheng Zhu had just returned to Hang City from a business trip in Tai City.
He must be tired after finishing his business in Tai City and driving all the way back.
As a result, upon arriving home and seeing she wasn't there, receiving no reply to his messages, and then hearing her broken sobs over the phone.
This softened the counselor's heart, feeling she was once again troubling him.
"You go ahead, I'm fine," she said softly.
Honestly, she felt she wasn't young anymore and was supposed to be his teacher, yet here she was, frequently needing a student for comfort.
"Alright then, I'll leave now, get my tasks done, and head home early," Cheng Zhu said with a smile.
Before he left, he playfully patted the counselor's perky behind and said, "Stay put at home and wait for me to get back, alright?"
"Mhm."
