But when he entered the inner room and walked to the bed, Qin Hexuan realized something was wrong.
Qingtian's breathing didn't sound like she was asleep at all.
I even held my breath as he approached.
But she couldn't hold it in for too long, and soon she couldn't help but sniffle.
Seeing that she was completely hidden in the quilt, Qin Hexuan sat on the edge of the bed and patted her through the quilt, saying, "Why are you pretending to sleep? Don't cover your head, or you'll suffocate."
The little body under the quilt stiffened instantly, but she didn't lift the quilt to show her head for a long time.
Qin Hexuan realized something was wrong and called out again: "Sunny day?"
"Hmm..." The sound from under the quilt was muffled and a little nasal.
"I'm going to lift the quilt!" Qin Hexuan didn't care whether she agreed or not. He just gave her a notice and started doing it.
Yuetao didn't know what was going on, so she came over with an oil lamp to help light the way.
I saw Qingtian’s little face, which was flushed red with two lines of tears on it.
She fell to her knees.
"Young Master, it's all my fault that I didn't take good care of Miss Qingtian.
Qingtian quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Qin, don't blame Sister Yuetao, it's me..."
"Are you homesick?" Qin Hexuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I just miss my mother a little bit." Qingtian lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Just missing mom?"
"I'm still a little scared..."
The Qin family’s house is tall and big, and they sleep on beds instead of kangs.
Once the bed curtains were drawn, she was the only one left inside. It was really scary.
Qin Hexuan asked Yuetao to go downstairs and bring in warm water. He personally wrung out a handkerchief to help Qingtian wipe his tear-stained face.
He found a pillow and placed it on the head of the bed. He sat on the outside of the bed with his clothes on and placed the pillow he used for sunny days next to it.
Qingtian sat on the bed, staring blankly at his every move.
Seeing her dazed look, Qin Hexuan raised his hand and patted his side and said, "Come and sleep."
Qingtian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly crawled over and lay down next to Qin Hexuan.
Qin Hexuan covered her with the quilt and patted her gently, saying, "Are you still afraid of this?"
Qingtian grabbed the upper edge of the quilt with both hands, covering most of her face, leaving only her forehead and a pair of bright eyes exposed, staring at Qin Hexuan without blinking.
Hearing him ask this, Qingtian shook his head at first, then asked carefully: "Brother Qin, can you wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"
"I'm not leaving. Go to sleep!" Qin Hexuan stroked her face with his hand and forced her to close her eyes. "It's already so late. How can a child not sleep so late?"
Qingtian was actually sleepy a long time ago, but he was too scared to fall asleep.
So with Qin Hexuan's company, she fell asleep quickly.
Seeing that she was really asleep, Qin Hexuan wanted to get up and go back to the room to finish writing the unfinished big characters.
Who would have thought that Qingtian secretly grabbed the corner of his clothes under the quilt.
In order not to wake up Qingtian, Qin Hexuan had to sit back down again, asked Yuetao to bring his book over, and silently memorized the article that the teacher would test him on tomorrow.
As for the few large characters that are still missing, I can only get up early tomorrow to catch up.
I had a good night's sleep on Qingtian. When I woke up the next morning, I stretched out my body as usual. When I was about to open my eyes, I suddenly stopped. Then I only opened one eye and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Qin Hexuan's voice sounded above her head.
When Qingtian heard the sound, he suddenly opened both eyes and looked over.
Qin Hexuan was still in the same posture as last night, sitting on the edge of the bed with his clothes on.
"Brother Qin, you didn't leave!" There was a hint of surprise in Qingtian's voice.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll cry secretly in the middle of the night, you little crybaby?"
"I'm not a crybaby!" Qingtian retorted in a low voice, but a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qin Hexuan took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He didn't have much time left.
"Can you let Sister Yuetao take you to wash and dress?" Qin Hexuan didn't know what was wrong with him. He had obviously woken up a long time ago, and Qingtian had already let go of her hand holding his clothes, but he still insisted on waiting until Qingtian woke up before leaving.
But when I saw the sweet smile on Qingtian’s face, I felt that it was worth delaying for a while longer.
However, after leaving the wing room, he immediately rushed back to the study and began to write the big characters that he had not finished last night.
Song Tao was helping him grind ink and spread paper. He glanced at the clock in the corner and thought helplessly that the young master might not even have time to eat breakfast today.
Sure enough, by the time I finished writing those few big characters, it was almost time for class.
Qin Hexuan simply washed his face, combed his hair, changed his clothes, and went straight to the study with his homework.
Mr. Wei had arrived early and was sitting in the house drinking tea.
Seeing Qin Hexuan enter the room, he looked up and glanced at the clock in the corner. It could be said that he came in just at the right time.
But since he wasn't late, he didn't say anything.
Qin Hexuan placed the finished homework on the table in front of Mr. Wei, and then began to recite the article he had assigned yesterday.
Mr. Wei frowned slightly as he looked at the large characters whose ink was still wet.
After Qin Hexuan finished reciting the article, he said, "It seems that Wei has assigned too much homework?"
"The teacher didn't assign much homework. I didn't finish it in time yesterday. Please punish me."
Qin Hexuan knew that Wei Yan hated people making excuses the most, so he simply didn't explain and stretched out his hand to accept the punishment.
Song Tao was so anxious that he was running around, wanting to explain a few words on behalf of Qin Hexuan, but was suppressed by his gaze.
