I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life - Chapter 223 Nap
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiao finally pulled himself out of the sea of books. He rubbed his tired eyes and looked out the window, wanting to give his eyes a moment's rest. However, at that moment, his eyes met Xu Congyi's smiling eyes. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world lit up.
"Yiyi, when did you come? I didn't notice it. It's a sin." Shen Xiao's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise that was difficult to conceal, and then a trace of guilt surged. He hurriedly put down the book in his hand, stood up, took big steps, and almost trotted towards the little girl in the yard. Every step was full of eagerness and expectation, as if he wanted to make up for his mistake of not being able to greet Xu Congyi in time as quickly as possible.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Walking in front of Xu Congyi, Shen Xiao took her small hand into his big hand without saying anything, trying to warm her with his body temperature. His actions were full of heartache and pity, as if Xu Congyi was the most precious treasure in his life.
Xu Congyi felt the warmth of Shen Xiao's palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She responded to him with an even brighter smile: "Brother Shen Xiao, have you forgotten? I was sick before, and my health has not been very good. Although I have recovered now, it is common for my hands and feet to be cold. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just came here not long ago, and seeing you so focused on studying, I didn't have the heart to disturb you."
Shen Xiao didn't expect Xu Congyi to come so early today, and he didn't expect that he would ignore her arrival because he was immersed in the book. He sighed softly, with a bit of self-blame in his tone: "Next time, no matter what I'm doing, as long as you come, just call me, okay? I don't want you to wait too long in the yard, and I don't want you to feel ignored."
Hearing this, Xu Congyi raised her lips in a gentle arc, "Brother Shen Xiao, you are really too nervous." She shook her head gently, with a bit of pampering in her voice, "Look, the sun is shining now, I am not cold sitting here, but warm and comfortable. And, you know what? Whenever I see you studying so attentively, I think you are very charming. That desire and pursuit of knowledge makes me feel that you are very real and very charming, and I like you very much."
After that, Xu Congyi seemed to be driven by an inexplicable impulse, and took a step forward, almost standing face to face with Shen Xiao. Her bright eyes flashed with mischievous light, and her breathing became unusually gentle. Every breath seemed to carry some kind of magic, gently brushing Shen Xiao's neck, leaving a series of subtle and warm traces.
Shen Xiao felt this sudden intimacy, and his cheeks instantly flushed with two red clouds. He tried to stay calm, but his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Xu Congyi found that the more Shen Xiao liked to blush, the more she liked to tease Shen Xiao. This feeling made her feel that she was a bit "hooligan", after all, this era was still very feudal, but she couldn't control herself.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and Xu Congyi took two steps back. Noticing the girl's retreat, Shen Xiao coughed twice to hide his shyness. "Yiyi, are you going to look for Wenhao? I'll go and clean up now."
"No hurry, maybe another half an hour." Xu Congyi took out his watch and looked at it. Shen Xiao was now immune to Xu Congyi's watch. He also knew that the little girl was not very familiar with the time, so she relied on the round thing in her hand to tell the time. "It's too early now. Tang Ji has just opened not long ago. I guess Brother Wenhao may not wake up yet. You can continue reading your book. I got up too early this morning and I'm feeling sleepy now. I'll take a nap on your bed. Do you mind?" As she said that, she yawned in response, obviously unable to resist the sleepiness.
How could Shen Xiao mind!
He shook his head quickly, signaling Xu Congyi to do whatever he wanted. Xu Congyi walked straight into Shen Xiao's room. Shen Xiao's bed was clean and flat. Xu Congyi hesitated a little. She wondered if it would be bad to lie on Shen Xiao's bed with her clothes on, but she couldn't take them off. Shen Xiao saw Xu Congyi's hesitation, he walked to her side, gently pressed her shoulders, "It's okay, just lie down."
"Call me in half an hour." Xu Congyi lay on one side of Shen Xiao's bed. In order to prevent herself from falling asleep, she deliberately chose a half-lying position, leaning against the neatly folded quilt. But as her body relaxed and felt comfortable, Xu Congyi soon fell asleep, and her breathing became smooth and even. Although Shen Xiao sat at the desk with his back to the bed, he could hear the girl's soft and regular breathing as she slept.
Finally, he couldn't help but turn around, only to see Xu Congyi's body curled up slightly. Seeing this, Shen Xiao gently stood up, took a coat from the hanger beside him, and returned to the bed. Shen Xiao tried to make his movements more stable and silent. He carefully unfolded the coat and gently and slowly put it on Xu Congyi.
At this moment, Shen Xiao's heart seemed to be completely surrounded by a warm current, which felt itchy and warm. This feeling was so real and strong that he couldn't help but imagine the various possibilities of their future life - just like an ordinary couple.
