Yun Xiangye had no choice but to get on the bed. She held Nuonuo's little hand and sang a Jiangnan nursery rhyme to her in Yongxing dialect: "Rock and rock, rock to Grandma's Bridge, Grandma invites me to eat rice cakes, dip it in sugar and eat more, dip it in salt and eat less, dip it in soy sauce and eat less..."

Nuonuo dozed off, looking at Yun Xiangye with sparkling eyes and said, "Mom, is the rice cake delicious?"

Yun Xiangye found Nuonuo's greedy look quite amusing and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, you didn't get to eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year this year. Rice cakes are delicious. Freshly made rice cakes dipped in brown sugar are even better. I'll have someone make some for you in a few days."

Nuonuo listened to Yunxiangye Chao's nursery rhymes and gradually fell asleep.

Yun Xiangye took away Nuonuo's hand that was holding Gu Yan's, and Nuonuo opened her eyes again, "I want daddy! Baby wants daddy."

Yun Xiangye didn't dare to move Nuonuo's little hand away, but just frowned and looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan said, "I was shocked to see you riding a horse today. Nuonuo must be very scared. It's curfew outside, so I'll stay at your place for the night."

Yun Xiangye stood up and took out a quilt from the wooden cabinet beside her and placed it on the small couch. "You and Nuonuo sleep on the small couch, and I will sleep on the bed. You and I have divorced, so it is not appropriate for us to sleep on the same bed anymore."

Gu Yan was happy to pick up Nuonuo and rest with her on the small couch.

Yun Xiangye was very tired and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. She didn't even change her clothes that were stained with the smell from riding a horse. Firstly, she was extremely tired, and secondly, she was worried about Gu Yan.

I might as well change the bedding tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiangye fell asleep peacefully.

Gu Yan, who was lying on the small couch, touched Nuonuo's little head and found out that Nuonuo was already asleep. He then walked to the bed and took Yun Xiangye into his arms. Although she still had the smell of horses on her body, it made him feel at ease.

The insomnia that had plagued him for days finally made him fall into a deep sleep.
