Early the next morning.
Zhou Yuansheng woke up first. Snowflakes were falling softly outside the window, but the room was warm.
He sat up and saw that the three kids were sleeping sprawled out, with his own son's head resting in Jiang Tong's arms and his feet kicking against his stomach.
Peipei was sleeping at the other end, spread-eagled, and it's unclear how she fell asleep. Hanhan was lying next to Jiang Tong, but one of her feet was resting on Jiang Tong's stomach.
Zhou Yuansheng couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Tong's biological clock had just woken her up. She squinted and saw Zhou Yuansheng sitting there, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it? Did you just wake up too?"
Zhou Yuansheng responded and saw Jiang Tong's drowsy look after just waking up. His heart softened, and he got up to adjust the two boys' sleeping positions.
He then reached out to Jiang Tong, gesturing for her to get up, as if he wanted to be alone with her.
Jiang Tong immediately regained consciousness.
With Zhou Yuansheng's help, she sat up. Hanhan, who was next to her, didn't wake up. She turned over and fell asleep on the other side. Jiaqi was also sleeping like a little pig.
Seeing Peipei lying at the foot of the bed, Jiang Tong couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to pick Peipei up, Zhou Yuansheng took her first and lifted her up from the foot of the bed. Jiang Tong immediately moved quietly so that Zhou Yuansheng could place her between Hanhan and Zhou Jiaqi.
Jiang Tong then covered the three babies with a small blanket. Seeing them sleeping so soundly, her heart softened, and she touched each of their little faces.
The next second, Zhou Yuansheng suddenly picked her up from behind, startling her so much that she covered her mouth and almost cried out. She hugged him and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yuansheng said with a smile, "Will you stay with me for a while? Let's go to the living room."
Jiang Tong fell silent.
Sleepiness crept in again, and she nodded while yawning.
My eyes were heavy with sleepiness.
Zhou Yuansheng was used to holding her, and Jiang Tong was also very comfortable in his arms. She could hold his shoulder steadily with one hand, and rub her eyes and face with the other.
Try to be more energetic.
Zhou Yuansheng found her incredibly cute, so he carried her to the sofa, put her down, wrapped her in a thin blanket, and then sat down in his arms.
Jiang Tong leaned against his chest, glanced up at him. He would have a little stubble when he woke up, but it didn't make him look sloppy; instead, it gave him a different kind of charm.
She refrained from touching him, and instead asked him what he wanted to talk about, "About your ex-wife?"
Zhou Yuansheng couldn't resist leaning down and kissing her smooth forehead. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Hmm, did I scare you last night? The children were terrified too."
He smiled helplessly.
Jiang Tong couldn't help but touch her nose and said, "It's alright, but it was indeed a bit unexpected."
She remembered that Zhou Yuansheng had briefly told her about his ex-wife, but the two of them hadn't discussed it in detail, and Jiang Tong hadn't talked to him about her scumbag ex-husband's past either.
After all, their relationship hasn't reached that stage yet, where they can jokingly mention their exes. They're currently deeply in love, and if they were to bring it up, they would both inevitably feel jealous. So, they've tacitly avoided it before.
But Fia's appearance provided the perfect opportunity for them to talk about their exes.
Although Jiang Tong felt a little awkward, she wasn't jealous to that extent, and she was genuinely curious and wanted to know everything about him.
Zhou Yuansheng first recounted what happened last night: "She's not physically ill, but she was overly emotional and a bit stressed. I chatted with her for a bit, and she... originally wanted to get back together with me, but she didn't expect that I already had you by my side."
At this point, Zhou Yuansheng glanced down guiltily at Jiang Tong's reaction, then hugged her even tighter, his head almost touching hers.
Jiang Tong sensed his guilty clinginess and chuckled as she pushed him away, saying, "You're hugging too tightly. Tell me properly, what's next?"
Zhou Yuansheng laughed and said, "Then of course I told her frankly that my relationship with her was over. Even if I were still single now, my relationship with her would still be a thing of the past."
He thought it would be painful to bring up his ex again, after all, someone as outstanding as him had never experienced any setbacks in his life, but this passionate love affair and failed marriage did leave him quite confused, but fortunately he has moved on.
Now, when he mentions his ex-wife, he no longer feels any extra emotion. Apart from the surprise when they meet, he is more afraid that Jiang Tong will be unhappy.
Zhou Yuansheng understood deeply that he cared about Jiang Tong far more than he realized, and he was absolutely unwilling to let her suffer any harm.
He was even more afraid that she would want to back down and then push him away.
Jiang Tong listened patiently, then chuckled softly, and finally said, "I didn't say I don't trust you, but I'm quite happy that you can talk to me like this."
She suddenly looked up at him, and the back of her head gently bumped against his chest. It wasn't just a bump on his chest; it hit his heart directly.
Zhou Yuansheng couldn't help but lean down and kiss her, his heart fluttering. Before meeting Jiang Tong, he had never imagined that there was someone who could make him cherish her so much. He loved every move she made and every little expression she made.
If we really need to distinguish them...
His ex-wife, Fia, was the object of his heart when he was young. Even though they were incompatible and she wasn't his type of partner, he met her at the right time and they fell in love. So they threw themselves into a passionate relationship without hesitation. But because of their incompatible personalities, they had constant friction. They tried to work things out, but ultimately they chose to separate.
A passionate love affair comes quickly, but it also goes quickly, fleeting in an instant.
Jiang Tong was exactly who he was. Everything about her was etched in his heart. She was Zhou Yuansheng's favorite type. Her personality was also adorable. She was the kind of person who would make his heart flutter no matter when he met her.
The more time he spent with her, the more he liked her. He liked her tolerance, her strength and hard work, and even her occasional awkward and shy demeanor.
There may not be many dramatic events between the two, but the subtle attraction between them is very captivating.
There's a kind of sweetness in the ordinary life.
It requires the two of them to savor it carefully, and the love will grow stronger every day thereafter.
Jiang Tong gives Zhou Yuansheng a sense of security, like a nest, as if no matter how hard he struggles outside, she will always be there to wait for his return.
It's that feeling of security.
After hearing his strange description, Jiang Tong couldn't help but laugh, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yuansheng laughed along, pulling her into his arms and resting his chin on her shoulder. He even liked to bite her when he was so fond of her. "I can't explain it, but love is something that can't be accurately expressed."
He felt that no adjective in the world could describe the overwhelming love he felt for her.
Jiang Tong could actually understand his meaning a little, because before she met Zhou Yuansheng, she couldn't have imagined that she could start another relationship in such a short time, especially since she was no longer seventeen or eighteen years old.
Especially considering she had just experienced a marriage where she was betrayed by her partner, and the gap between her and Zhou Yuansheng was so large, yet she still dared to date him.
