Li Lin had never felt that his ears were so good. Hearing the voice he had longed for, he quickly responded, "No...I can't sleep!"

Hearing this, Xu Wen giggled and then said in a very low voice, "I can't sleep either... I want to hear your story..."

Li Lin can tell bedtime stories.

And the story is long.

When they were together, Xu Wen would listen to it every night and loved it.

Li Lin glanced at his aunt's closed door, then looked at the clock which pointed to one o'clock, and finally mustered up the courage to tiptoe and open Xu Wen's door...

The next morning.

Li Lin was lying on the sofa, covering his head, sleeping soundly.

Li Rong had never seen Li Lin sleep so well before. It was almost eight o'clock, but he showed no sign of waking up.

So, she walked to the sofa, shook the sleeping Li Lin, and asked, "Xiao Lin, it's already eight o'clock. Are you not going to work today?"

It's eight o'clock?

Li Lin got out of bed sleepily, glanced at the clock which pointed to eight o'clock, suddenly opened his eyes wide, jumped up, and said, "Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!"

The county magistrate is not in the same boat either. He has to go to work on time... Although no one cares or asks, this is the standard he sets for himself. He must lead by example so that he will have the confidence to manage others.

Seeing Li Lin with a tired face, Li Rong looked at Xu Wen's room thoughtfully again. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it... They clearly didn't go to bed late last night, so why did Li Lin feel more and more tired as he slept?

Li Lin brushed his teeth, washed his face, and changed his clothes as quickly as possible... Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Li Rong, "Aunt, don't wake Wenwen up, let her sleep a little longer..."

He knew that Xu Wen was very tired last night, so he kindly told Li Rong to let Xu Wen have a good rest.
