"Not yet," Jiang Xue replied softly to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen carefully pushed open the door. The two children were already asleep. If he woke them up, they would probably make a fuss for a while.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Jiang Xue looked at Ji Chen a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you say you were scared? Then I'll sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor in my room tonight." Ji Chen knew that Jiang Xue was quite frightened today, and he was worried that she wouldn't sleep well at night. Perhaps staying by her side would help her sleep more soundly.
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Xue stubbornly maintained her composure, unwilling to let others see her weakness.
"Don't lie to me. I heard the wind rustling through the trees and I jumped so hard that I dropped my glutinous rice ball. And you say you weren't scared?"
Jiang Xue pursed her lips. She hadn't expected that Ji Chen had noticed these little details.
“It’s cold now, you’ll catch a cold if you sleep in bed.” Jiang Xue’s bright, almond-shaped eyes looked even more charming in the dim light.
Ji Chen deliberately avoided looking at her, not daring to look too much. If they shared a bed, how could Ji Chen possibly sleep well that night? After all, he was a virile young man.
However, Jiang Xue was completely unaware of this. Being inexperienced in such matters, she assumed that men and women were the same.
She has absolutely no improper thoughts right now.
“No need, I’ll sleep on the floor.” Ji Chen’s tone was unusually firm.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue's tone became even more resolute, "If you're not going to come to bed, then don't come in and keep me company."
"It doesn't matter if you sleep on the floor now, but it's getting cold, and the cold will easily seep into your body. You'll suffer from backaches and leg pains later." Jiang Xue was speaking with a heartfelt sincerity, and she almost laughed at herself as she spoke.
"kindness."
Ji Chen responded and sat on the bed. The cold wind howled outside, and the dim light shone on the transparent glass window.
Ji Chen lay down at Jiang Xue's feet. He didn't want to touch Jiang Xue, but the bed was too small and there were two children, so he had to squeeze in.
He accidentally touched Jiang Xue's soft little feet with his fingers. Her feet were icy cold and had no warmth at all.
He silently took Jiang Xue's foot in his warm hands.
Jiang Xue bit her lip, curled up with the two children, and pretended to be asleep without moving.
Ji Chen thought Jiang Xue had fallen asleep so easily, and his tense heart finally relaxed a little.
He moved even closer to Jiang Xue, and Jiang Xue, who had no warmth from the heating, was instantly enveloped by a warm current.
She knew that Ji Chen was intentionally trying to comfort her. Although she appeared motionless, her mind was in complete turmoil.
The temperature dropped sharply overnight, so Jiang Xue put on a thick cotton coat as soon as she got up.
The simple cotton-padded clothes looked anything but simple on Jiang Xue. After dressing her two children, she leaned on her crutches and went outside.
It would have been better if he hadn't come out, because as soon as he did, he saw Chen Xiaofan still wearing his leather jacket, leaning against his motorcycle with a large bouquet of flowers.
"My little lover, let's go get the divorce certificate with that guy today. I'll take you to live in the city. What kind of remote place is this?" Chen Xiaofan looked around with disdain.
Jiang Xue's face turned almost green. "Get out of here! Get as far away from me as possible!"
Jiang Xue is currently unable to move around easily, but she will hit Chen Xiaofan whenever she can, even if it's just a little bit easier.
I've seen scoundrels before, but I've never seen one this unreliable.
As luck would have it, Xie Xiaotian had just gotten up and was combing her hair in the yard, and her expression was exactly like someone who had just heard some shocking gossip.
