The stars are twinkling and the night wind is cold.
Mu Lianshen glanced at Fu Xiao, whose face was slightly red, and said, "An An, go back to your room and sleep..."
Fu Xiao, who was slightly drunk, opened his eyes, looked at him, and heard him say again, "Go back to sleep..."
She nodded heavily, dropped the wine glass in her hand and stood up, and Shen Xingzhou helped her walk to the room behind her.
He put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He felt the temperature of the quilt, looked down at the dazed girl, and whispered, "Good night."
Seeing Fu Xiao licking her lips, Shen Xingzhou got up and walked outside to pour her a glass of water, then pulled her up and fed her, “Come, drink some water…”
She took a few sips of water from his hand, squinted her eyes and gave him a grin, "I'm asleep..."
"Well, go to sleep," Shen Xingzhou watched her close her eyes obediently, his expression nostalgic and doting.
He tucked the quilt in for her, then walked out of the room quietly and closed the door.
He sat back at the table and added some wine to Mu Lianshen's empty glass.
Chen Xingzhou held the wine glass in both hands and looked at Mu Lianshen sincerely, "Uncle Mu, I want to discuss with you about Xiaoxiao and me..."
Mu Lianshen raised his eyelids slightly and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"About marriage..."
Mu Lianshen frowned, looking at him with displeasure: "It's a bit early..."
Shen Xingzhou secretly took a breath, "Xiaoxiao went to the laboratory and was so busy that she didn't care about anything. I wanted to take care of her more..."
"Is it affecting your care now?"
"Uncle Mu," he explained with a wry smile, "You should know the regulations of the institute. Only married people can be assigned to the family quarters. It will be more convenient for me then..."
Mu Lianshen looked at him sarcastically, as if to ask, how could he not handle such a small matter?
Shen Xingzhou continued, "I found a famous fortune teller, and he calculated the date, which is in the next two years. If it's later...it will be difficult to find a date."
Mu Lianshen frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. This auspicious day was indeed very important.
Shen Xingzhou, who had been paying attention to his expression, had a flash of joy in his eyes, “Uncle... that person said something very mysterious, saying that these two years are the best time to get married...”
He said sincerely: "I want to give Xiaoxiao the best and don't want to have any regrets about anything..."
Mu Lianshen picked up the wine glass and took a sip, squinting at him, "An An hasn't graduated yet..."
Shen Xingzhou lowered his head, “Of course after graduation…”
Mu Lianshen felt bitter inside, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Xingzhou became more and more disgusted, "Did An An agree?"
Shen Xingzhou raised his head and looked at him seriously, "After getting her permission, I dare to ask for your opinion..."
He picked up the bottle and poured another glass for Mu Lianshen.
Mu Lianshen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying calmly: "There is still a year left, why are you in such a hurry..."
Shen Xingzhou took a deep breath and asked softly, “Then uncle…I will prepare for the day after next?”
He didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either.
Mu Lianshen just put the wine glass on the table, stood up and left.
Shen Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, and a low laugh escaped from the depths of his throat.
He knew Mu Lianshen, and he didn't scold him out loud, nor did he shake his head, which meant he agreed.
After he finished the wine in the glass, he stood up and quietly cleaned the table.
After everything was cleaned up, he came to Fu Xiao's room again and put her exposed legs back into the quilt.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he pinched her face gently, bent down to kiss her forehead, curled his lips, and his eyes and brows became more soft and tender.
"Xiaoxiao, I can finally marry you..."
Seeing her exposing her calves and putting them on the quilt again, Shen Xingzhou sighed helplessly, got up and took out another thin quilt from the cabinet, and covered her on top of the quilt to cover her calves.
He tiptoed out of the room and into the guest room.
The next morning, Fu Xiao walked out of the room, looked at Shen Xingzhou and asked, “Did you add another quilt for me yesterday?”
He nodded.
She stared at him in disbelief, "Do you know how hot I am? You added a blanket to me."
"You kicked off the quilt last night, and I didn't cover you. What if you caught a cold..."
Fu Xiao was choked when he said that. She knew that she didn't sleep well.
"Oh, okay, that's good, but don't add more next time, my room is warm enough..."
Shen Xingzhou nodded, "Okay, I understand, let's eat."
"Where's my dad?" she asked.
Just at this moment, Mu Lianshen walked out of the room.
Fu Xiao looked at him, "Dad, come here, I took your pulse..."
Mu Lianshen sat next to her and stretched out his left hand and placed it on the table.
Fu Xiao stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, closed his eyes and felt the pulse, and pondered for a few seconds, "No problem, Dad, why do you wake up so late recently..."
"What's wrong?" Mu Lianshen raised his hand and flicked her forehead, looking at her with a smile, "You are the only one who can sleep in in the winter, but Dad can't?"
"Haha, how could that be? I just find it strange... As long as you are healthy, winter is the time to take care of your body. During this time, I will be at home and make some medicinal food to nourish you."
"Eat your meal, I'll go wash up,"
Mu Lianshen came to the bathroom and stood in front of the faucet. His smile disappeared and his face darkened.
He really couldn't sleep last night.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Xingzhou mentioned getting married, or because of something else, but I always feel uncomfortable.
Maybe...he was thinking about Shushu.
When he came back from washing up, he heard Fu Xiao talking to Shen Xingzhou about her Xiao Bai.
