Because I woke up too early, I played all day and then got too excited.
Ultimately, Ning Yanshu fell asleep in the back seat of the taxi on her way home.
After paying the fare, Shen Xu resignedly carried Ning Yanshu upstairs to go home.
He walked slowly and steadily.
I was afraid of accidentally waking the person on my back.
It was just a short flight of stairs, but it took Shen Xu nearly ten minutes to walk up.
The person on his back was sleeping soundly.
Listening to Ning Yanshu's even breathing, Shen Xu also felt exceptionally calm.
Ning Yanshu is still young, and I can still carry him on my back.
But what about a few more years?
In the dimly lit stairwell, Shen Xu asked himself softly.
Can we continue to play dumb like this?
He didn't know...
...
Back home, Shen Xu gently laid Ning Yanshu down on the sofa.
He went to the bathroom, filled a basin with warm water, and washed his face, hands, and feet.
Busy with work and other tasks.
But the sleeping guy not only didn't cooperate, he also grumbled and complained that he was disturbing his sleep.
Shen Xu had no choice but to patiently coax him.
Ning Yanshu slowly opened her eyes, looked at Shen Xu who was busy in front of her, and asked in a daze, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Shen Xu's expression faltered slightly.
The joy in his eyes flashed by, then dimmed slightly.
He coaxed, "Sweetie, let's wipe our faces before we go to sleep, okay?"
"Um!"
Ning Yanshu nodded obediently in agreement.
After finishing, he closed his eyes contentedly and went back to sleep.
Finally, she didn't forget to add a flattering comment: "Thank you, sir! You're the best!"
He was completely unaware of the significant impact his words had on Shen Xu.
Shen Xu's heart was beating very fast.
Thump thump.
In this quiet room, it sounded so deafening.
But the person he most wanted to hear was now fast asleep.
Shen Xu was left alone to experience this tense and torturous mix of joy and sorrow.
Shen Xu suddenly felt somewhat unwilling.
He gently patted his cheek, trying to wake him up: "Little Book, wake up... Look, who am I?"
"Little book, little book..."
Ning Yanshu grew impatient with the noise.
She opened her eyes and said softly, "What are you doing? I want to sleep..."
"Who am I?" Shen Xu insisted on asking.
"Hey, little brother."
"Do you...do you like me?" Shen Xu's heart clenched suddenly: "Besides Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, who is your favorite person?"
He held his breath, waiting expectantly and fearfully for Ning Yanshu's answer.
Even though he knew that he was despicable and ridiculous.
But he desperately needed this answer, for his own comfort...
...
The room seemed to freeze for a moment, as if time itself had slowed down.
It wasn't until he heard Ning Yanshu's murmured "little brother" in his sleep that Shen Xu finally regained his composure.
He felt a surge of secret joy.
Even though Shen Xu understood that Ning Yanshu's so-called "liking" was far from the answer he wanted.
But at this moment, all that's needed is this.
This little bit of affection is enough for him...
...
Shen Xu gazed at Ning Yanshu quietly, making no attempt to conceal the deep affection in his eyes.
He was asleep, and there was no one else in the room.
He can declare his love so boldly and directly.
Suddenly, an impulsive and crazy idea popped into my mind.
Shen Xu's heart trembled slightly, and his fingertips quivered.
Reason told him it wouldn't work.
You can't do that.
But the love that was spreading wildly deep in his heart, and the increasingly intense longing, ultimately led him to make the wrong decision.
Shen Xu slowly bent down, getting closer and closer to Ning Yanshu.
At the moment their breaths touched, he felt more anticipation and longing than nervousness.
If Ning Yanshu opened his eyes at this moment...
You can then see his terrifying appearance, dominated by ugly desires.
You'll then see what kind of disgusting person the older brother he usually likes and respects is.
In this way, perhaps he can also give up and admit everything.
There is no longer any need for pretense or concealment.
Shen Xu couldn't help but think to himself.
Perhaps, like his father Shen Jiahao, he is not a good person at heart.
Otherwise, how could anyone dare to covet their own nephew?
...
Shen Xu's mind was in turmoil, filled with a multitude of thoughts.
But the moment his lips actually touched hers, his mind went completely blank.
All the struggles and hesitations seemed to vanish in that instant.
His heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
A misconception that the two of them had already been completely honest with each other and shared their feelings overwhelmed all his reason.
He deepened the pressure gently, but dared not use force.
They were afraid of waking the people who were sleeping.
Until the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from the doorway.
Shen Xu was suddenly jolted back to the reality of reality.
Upon seeing Shen Fu standing at the door, his blood instantly froze...
...
Shen Xu hurriedly stepped back and stood next to the sofa.
When he faced Shen Fu, his face showed panic and fear.
And an unconcealable despair.
Shen Fu stared at him without saying a word.
Shen Xu tried to explain, but found himself speechless.
Ning Wan came upstairs two minutes later.
Seeing Shen Fu standing blankly at the door, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"
Upon entering the house, I saw Shen Xu with a pale face, and Ning Yanshu sleeping on the sofa.
Ning Wan's eyes showed even deeper doubt: "Why is Xiao Shu asleep in the living room? Ah Xu, you look terrible, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Xu hesitated, unsure how to answer.
He slightly raised his eyelids and realized that Shen Fu had no intention of exposing him.
He then slowly explained, "Little Shu was tired from playing and fell asleep... We just got back..."
Ning Wan nodded, indicating that she understood: "We were a bit tired after going out for a few days. Aman and I were worried about you and Xiaoshu, so we decided to come back a day early."
She glanced at Shen Fu, who was standing beside her in a daze, and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take Xiao Shu inside to sleep, what if he catches a cold?"
"good……"
He lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
Then he called out to Shen Xu, "Xu, come and help."
Shen Xu lowered his head, his long bangs obscuring his expression: "...Yes."
