The night is both long and short.

Ning Qing kept feeding Bai Hao until he was so full that he cried himself to sleep.

Ning Qing then stopped and waited for the two of them to clean themselves up.

Only then did she fall asleep holding Bai Hao.

The next day.

Ms. Yang noticed that it was almost noon, but there was still no movement from Ning Qing's door.

Last night, she was worried that her son would become despondent after learning about his origins, close himself off again, and revert to his old self, becoming so introverted that he was almost autistic and unwilling to step out of his room.

She waited all night, but Bai Hao, who had gone in to persuade her, did not come out. This made her worried but also relieved a little.

After all, A Qing was still willing to keep Bai Hao, which shows that he did not completely shut down his heart again.

Ms. Yang brought breakfast to Ning Qing's door and gently knocked.

Ning Qing, who was inside the room, heard a knock on the door.

Looking down at the person in his arms, he saw that the person's eyes were closed, breathing evenly, and sleeping soundly.

Ning Qing smiled slightly, then whispered a question towards the door.

"who?".

Ms. Yang's voice came from outside the door.

"Qing, are you up yet? Mom saw that you and Hao hadn't gotten up for breakfast, and I was worried you'd be starving, so I brought you some breakfast."

Ning Qing: "Oh, we haven't gotten up yet. Last night, Ah Hao and I drank too late and we were both a bit drunk, so we let him stay here. He's still feeling dizzy. Please leave the breakfast at the door and I'll go get it later."

Ms. Yang replied, "Oh, then you all should rest well. I'll go and cook some hangover soup first, and you can all have a bowl later."

He put the breakfast by the door and turned to prepare the hangover soup.

When Ning Qing felt an unfriendly gaze and looked down,

She met Bai Hao's sharp gaze from her arms.

With a dark expression, he squeezed out two words.

"Ning, Qing".

Ning Qing curled her lips and gave him a smile.

"You're awake?"

Looking at Ning Qing's smile, Bai Hao really wanted to punch her.

The hand covered by the blanket clenched into a fist, but still hesitated and didn't throw it.

I closed my eyes to calm myself down.

He sat up before speaking.

"Aren't you going to explain yourself? Huh!"

He became excited as he spoke, and his voice rose considerably.

"Who said last night that dating is about mutual consent and not being forced? What is this? Does sleeping together mean you can force it? Huh!"

Ning Qing also sat up, looking completely innocent, and shrugged.

"I didn't force you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao's eyes blazed with fury, and his face darkened even more horribly.

"No coercion? Does that mean I did it on my own?"

Ning Qing dared not nod in agreement, for fear of upsetting her daughter-in-law.

He reached out, picked up the phone from the cabinet, swiped the screen a few times, and then handed it to Bai Hao, whose face was dark and gloomy.

"Look, I really didn't use force."

Bai Hao heard the sound of his conversation with Ning Qing from last night coming from his phone.

Only then did he lower his eyes to look at his phone.

Ning Qingcai shoved the phone into his hand.

"You must be starving! I'll go bring in breakfast."

As she spoke, she got out of bed and dressed, making no attempt to conceal the fact that there was another living person in the room.

Bai Hao glanced at it, then immediately looked away.

He cursed inwardly: "You filthy scoundrel."

Then, feigning composure, he looked at his phone.

Ning Qing smiled and walked towards the door.
