Thinking this, Wen Yixing had already reached the kitchen door. Li Hongmei naturally heard Wen Yixing's conversation with Fang Jingyao. She said, "Yixing, it's okay. Your dad just had insomnia last night and didn't sleep well. He'll wake up on his own in a bit. He's sleeping like a log right now, you can't wake him up, and he's snoring!"

As she spoke, Li Hongmei glanced at Shen Jingshao standing there and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Young people are just so great."

She knew that Wen Jianguo had probably gone to chat with Shen Jingshao last night.

She was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night last night, and when she checked her phone, it was already 1:30 a.m. She was alone in bed.

Wen Jianguo was nowhere to be found, and there was no one in the bathroom of the bedroom either.

Having been married to Wen Jianguo for so many years, Li Hongmei knew his temperament well. She guessed that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and went to talk to Shen Jingshao.

Since it wasn't a big deal, Li Hongmei didn't go looking for anyone. She drank some water, turned on the air conditioner, and went back to sleep.

As a result, she was woken up early in the morning by Wen Jianguo's snoring.

I don't know what time this person came back. He slept very soundly this morning, and I couldn't wake him up no matter how much I called him.

Fang Jingyao: "I could hear Grandpa snoring too, it was so loud!"

Li Hongmei laughed, leaving the kitchen with a plate in her hand: "Never mind him, let's eat breakfast first. Xiao Shen made lean meat porridge this morning, and it smells so good."

Wen Yixing smiled and said, "Then I'll go get it."

Li Hongmei glanced over and noticed that Shen Jingshao was also there. She smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."

After saying that, Li Hongmei reached out and pulled Fang Jingyao away, leaving them alone.

Shen Jingshao was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt today. Wen Yixing originally wanted to come over to get a bowl, but noticed that he had several red bumps on his arm.

Looks like I got bitten by the mosquitoes here last night.

Wen Yixing leaned closer to look, then looked up at Shen Jingshao: "Did you open the window last night?"

Shen Jingshao: "It's been running for a while."

Wen Yixing: "The mosquitoes here bite and cause really big welts. I have some medicine in my room, I'll give it to you later, it's really effective."

Shen Jingshao smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he reached out and grasped her fingertips. "Let's go eat first."

This breakfast was particularly lavish. Since the work on the mountain was almost finished, Li Hongmei didn't rush to wake Wen Jianguo up.

It just so happened that it was market day in town, and there were no fresh vegetables at home, so Li Hongmei put on her sun protection clothes and hat and took Fang Jingyao out to the market.

Fang Jingyao also wanted to go out and play. He loved going to the market, so he happily got dressed and went out with his grandmother.

After the two left, only Wen Yixing and Shen Jingshao remained in the living room. Wen Yixing looked at Shen Jingshao and asked, "Are there any other bite marks on your body?"

Having grown up here, Wen Yixing is very familiar with the characteristics of the mosquitoes here.

These mosquitoes can bite you so badly that you can get several big, itchy welts on your body. You can't just scratch them, because if you scratch them open, they won't heal quickly and will leave scars.

Shen Jingshao thought for a moment: "There should be more on his back."

Wen Yixing made Shen Jingshao turn his back to her, lifted his shirt and looked at him: "There are three bumps on his back."

After saying that, Wen Yixing realized that Shen Jingshao hadn't scratched her at all. She asked, "Aren't you itchy?"

Shen Jingshao: "Itchy."

Perhaps sensing Wen Yixing's confusion, Shen Jingshao smiled and said, "It's not very elegant to scratch an itch while eating. I don't want to leave a bad impression on your mother."

Wen Yixing felt a little helpless but also wanted to laugh.

Shen Jingshao had his bag on his back, making it difficult for him to apply the medicine by himself.

He glanced in the direction of Wen Jianguo's bedroom, thought for a moment, and said, "Come to my room, I'll apply the medicine for you."

Shen Jingshao: "Okay."

Wen Yixing's bedroom contains many things from her childhood, and Shen Jingshao also saw photos of her from when she was a child on her desk.

She was adorable as a child, and looks a lot like Fang Jingyao now, only she's prettier.

To make applying the medicine easier, Wen Yixing had Shen Jingshao take off his shirt. She applied the ointment to him and then instructed him, "Put your clothes back on after the medicine dries."

After she finished speaking, Wen Yixing looked up and saw Shen Jingshao holding a photo of her when she was a child.

Seeing her looking over, Shen Jingshao moved back and reached out to put his arm around her waist.

Before Wen Yixing could even stand properly, he pulled her so she ended up sitting on his lap.

He had just applied the medicine, and there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine on his body.

It was the middle of summer, and the air conditioning in the bedroom hadn't been turned on yet. It was a little hot, and he felt like he was in a furnace, unbearably hot.

Wen Yixing wanted to stand up, and Shen Jingshao probably knew she would feel hot, so he picked up the remote control on the table and turned on the air conditioner in the room.

After suffering for so many days, Wen Yixing knew what Shen Jingshao wanted.

However, things weren't going well at home. The thought of Wen Jianguo still being downstairs, and Li Hongmei and Fang Jingyao possibly returning at any moment, was unbearable for Wen Yixing.

Shen Jingshao: "No nonsense, just a hug."

Wen Yixing knew he had been holding back.

Ultimately, she couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to touch him.

But before they could even touch, Shen Jingshao grabbed her hand.

He then lowered his head and bit her lip.

Even though nothing was wrong, Wen Yixing still broke out in a sweat.

My hands feel a little numb.

When it was over, Shen Jingshao led her to the bathroom in the bedroom, but the water was cut off. Shen Jingshao filled the water tank with some water, held her hand and helped her wash her hands, and said softly, "The water is off, just wash for now."
