A Thousand and One Nights series of short stories
Sheng Sheng Enters Dawn
Sang Jie
01
In T City, an independent luxury apartment.
The bedroom door was slightly ajar at this time, and when viewed from the outside, it could still be seen with a hint of warm light that was unique to dusk.
But the room did not seem quiet at this moment, and some ambiguous sounds were coming out from the crack of the door.
Nan Xiao used one arm to carefully pick up the person who was facing away from him and turned him over.
As soon as he saw her face, he stopped moving.
"Shengsheng," he called softly.
The person below didn't react at all. His big black eyes on his palm-sized face were rolling around, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something, but he was definitely not thinking about what was happening right now.
Nan Xiao looked at her for two seconds, and his face, covered with a thin layer of sweat, inevitably darkened a little.
"Sikong Sheng," after waiting for a while, he used his hands to push back the hair on his forehead that had fallen down due to sweat, lowered his eyes and raised his voice.
"...Ah?" The little girl below finally woke up from a dream and looked at him in confusion, "Is it over?"
Nan Xiao:......
There were some veins on his forehead. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his hand and pointed downwards expressionlessly.
She looked in the direction of his finger, and her expression froze instantly. "Uh..."
"Well," Sikong Sheng looked at his handsome face, which was gradually turning pale, and gave a flattering yet awkward smile, "I'm sorry, I, I just..."
She actually wanted to say that she was daydreaming, and also wanted to say that she was a little sleepy, but then she thought that no matter which statement she made, it seemed to be questioning Nan Xiao's abilities in certain aspects.
"What did you say just now?" He stared at her face with his dark eyes and spoke word by word, "Were you thinking about those bottles of sulfuric acid in your lab again, or those cells in the culture dish again?"
Sikong Sheng: ...
They caught the bag directly and seized it on the spot.
Nan Xiao looked at her with a look of "How the hell did you know that?" but he couldn't pretend that he was right. He was both angry and amused. He teased her, "Why, how about I drive you back to the lab right now? I'll save you from worrying about me and making you stay here to play along with me."
"No, no, no, absolutely not." Sikong Sheng knew that if she really did that, she would probably not be able to see him again for the next three months. She quickly stretched out her arms to hug his neck and rubbed his cheek. "Let's continue, continue."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the person who was trying to coax him. The little girl had two cute little canine teeth and was really adorable when she smiled. Her face was fair and smooth without any makeup. No wonder many people said that Sikong Sheng looked like a college student who had just entered university. Compared with him, they were like uncle and niece.
Of course, I'm not saying he's old, it's just that she looks a little too young.
He looked at her unmoved for a few seconds. She panicked a little and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Nan Xiao?"
Nan Xiao put away the thoughts and the slight anger in his mind and pressed the little guy down again. "Here it comes. Don't cry and say no later."
Because Nan Xiao has been in the army for a long time, his figure and physical strength are close to perfect. Sikong Sheng and he are both busy, so they meet much less often than normal couples. Thanks to his pile driver-like physique, every time they meet, they will have to stay in the room for a whole day, and when she comes out, she usually can't walk properly.
But today.
Sikong Sheng was held obediently by him. Seeing him lower his eyes as he carefully bathed her, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"Well," she thought for a moment, gnashed her teeth, and asked softly, "Nan Xiao, are you angry?"
Smoke rose from the bathroom, and her voice was a little unclear under the sound of running water. However, Nan Xiao had excellent hearing. His brows twitched slightly, and he said calmly, "Not angry."
"Really?" She approached his handsome face with some suspicion. Well, he was really good-looking. Although he also had long eyes, nose and mouth, how come he was so much more handsome than others? "When are you going back this time?"
"Tonight," he said.
"Huh? So soon?" she said. "Don't you usually stay for about three days?"
Nan Xiao rinsed her clean and turned off the water. "No matter how many days I stay, you have to stay in the lab for two days, so there is no need for me to stay longer."
Sikong Sheng watched him take the towel to wipe her body, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He must be angry...
...
After taking a shower, the two changed into clean clothes and left Nan Xiao's apartment together.
He is tall and has an upright figure. No matter what kind of clothes he wears, they will show completely different effects on him, not to mention the military uniform. In just one elevator ride, three of the four people who got on were staring at him intently. There was a little girl whose face turned red as she stared at him, and she even took out her mobile phone to take a sneak shot.
Of course Nan Xiao also noticed it, and he smiled at the girl when getting off the elevator, but the girl immediately put away her phone after hearing his smile and didn't dare to think about taking secret photos again.
Sikong Sheng followed him closely and got into the car. While stealing glances at his face, he was thinking about what he should say when he got in the car to ease the atmosphere and make him happy.
But as soon as she got in the car, she received a WeChat message from a colleague in the laboratory.
Lynn: Shengsheng, can you come over sometime? There seems to be something wrong with the petri dish.
She immediately forgot everything in her mind, turned around and said nervously to Nan Xiao who was about to start the car, "Can you take me to the lab now?"
He paused noticeably, then quickly said, "Okay."
There was no conversation along the way after that. She was only thinking about the petri dish and didn't notice that Nan Xiao's face, which had already looked bad, had turned so dark that it was unsightly.
When she arrived at the laboratory building, she said "Goodbye, I'm leaving first" and ran out of the car without looking back.
Nan Xiao was left watching her small figure rushing into the building. He rubbed his temples with a look of almost crying and laughing, and then he let out a long sigh.
After a while, he took out his cell phone, found someone, and sent him a WeChat message.
The other party probably wasn't busy and replied quickly: What's wrong, future brother-in-law?
He typed a line of words in the dialog box named "Sikong Jing": Sometimes I feel that I am particularly pathetic.
Sikong Jing: Shengsheng left you to go to the lab again?
Nan Xiao: Yeah.
Sikong Jing: Do you find it particularly interesting to compete with cells every time?
