Chapter 77 Where did this handsome older man come from?
In the middle of the night, the room was quiet.
Yuka closed her eyes after playing the farming game for a while, letting her fingers, which were a little sore from playing for so long, rest.
But the image of the unconscious man involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
What if that uncle never wakes up?
A sudden, inexplicable sadness welled up inside her.
She had been so sure that the uncle would wake up, but now she was a little uncertain.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, so she simply sat up, put on her fluffy slippers, and got out of bed.
She decided to go and see the older man.
Yuxiang quietly slipped out of the room.
Inside the room, Mimi, who was sleeping in a soft cat bed, slightly opened her eyes, glanced at Youxiang, then turned over and continued to sleep comfortably.
This new cat bed is so comfortable!
Yu Xiang tiptoed downstairs.
By the faint moonlight filtering in through the window, she looked at the half-closed door in front of her, gently pushed it with her small hand, and the door slowly opened with a creak.
She crouched low and carefully went inside.
"Brother Shen Jia!"
She lowered her voice and called out softly.
Shen Jia, who was lying on the edge of the bed, feeling drowsy, was jolted awake by the sound and instantly became much more alert.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up at Yuzuka who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Um, Yuzu-neechan, what brings you here? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Yuka blinked her bright, sparkling eyes. "I came to see Uncle."
As she spoke, she came to the bedside, bent down, and carefully looked at her unconscious father.
"Still not awake!"
She muttered to herself.
Shen Jia stood up. "Sister Youzi, you should go to sleep early. I'll keep an eye on Dad."
Yu Xiang looked at Shen Jia's two obvious dark circles under his eyes, which made him look like a panda.
She tilted her head and said considerately, "Why don't you go and rest? I'll watch over Uncle for you. If you don't sleep, you'll get ugly, and that won't make you handsome."
"ah?"
Shen Jia was stunned for a moment.
Yu Xiang didn't care about anything else. She reached out and pushed Shen Jia towards the door, saying as she did so, "Don't be polite with me. Leave Uncle to me. Go to my room to sleep. My room is very comfortable. I guarantee you'll get a good night's sleep."
How could Shen Jia's younger brother have dark circles under his eyes, given his pleasing appearance?
She didn't want an ugly younger brother; she wanted a handsome and cute one.
Before Shen Jia could react, the door was locked with a "click" from Youxiang.
He looked at the locked door, standing outside somewhat at a loss. He wanted to knock on the door and ask Yuka to open it, but he was afraid of disturbing others, so he gave up.
Shen Jia could only go to sleep.
He went upstairs to Yuxiang's room, gently opened the door, and was stunned by the sight before him.
This room is beautiful!
He looked down at his somewhat dirty clothes and felt that sleeping in this room would make Yuzu's bedroom dirty.
So he quietly turned off the light and closed the door, then went out.
Awakened, Mimi poked her head out of her cat bed and meowed in dissatisfaction.
Honestly, with all this coming and going, can't I even get a proper night's sleep?
Shen Jia went back downstairs and glanced at the empty sofa in the living room.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to sleep on the sofa anyway.
He slowly walked to the sofa, lay down, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Yu Xiang, who was in the room, was not idle. She reached out and gently poked the bandages binding her father, pouting as she said, "It looks awful, and it looks even worse with that messy beard."
Suddenly, Yuka's eyes lit up.
She came to give him a makeover and shaved off the old man's beard.
Yuka took out a set of shaving tools from the game's inventory.
With her hands on her hips, she smugly muttered to herself, "It's time for me to show my skills!"
Although it was her first time shaving, she was that confident.
The next morning, the sunlight gently streamed through the window, casting a warm golden glow on the floor inside the room.
Chen Yunfei woke up, yawned, stretched, and slowly walked out of the room.
When he saw Shen Jia curled up asleep on the sofa, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Why is Shen Jia sleeping here?
Chen Yunfei muttered to himself. Seeing that Shen Jia was sleeping soundly with a slight smile on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream, he couldn't bear to wake him.
So he turned around and went back to his room to get a soft blanket, which he gently covered Shen Jia with.
After that, he went to Qin Zhuo's room, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The room was quiet; apart from Shen's father lying quietly on the bed, there was no one else there.
Yuka, who had done something wrong, secretly slipped away after dawn.
Chen Yunfei approached Shen's father, his gaze lingering slightly on his face, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Is this Shen's father?
He was filled with doubts; his father was completely different from before.
At this moment, Qiao Yue, who was yawning as she walked in, also saw her father, who looked different on the bed.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Where did this handsome uncle come from? Chen Yunfei, did you secretly switch him out?"
Qiao Yue's exclamation was like a thunderclap, instantly waking Shen Jia.
Shen Jia was suddenly awakened from her sleep, and the blanket slipped to the floor.
He looked at the open room, thought of his father, and immediately rushed inside.
"What happened? Did something happen to my dad?"
Shen Jia looked anxious, her eyes filled with worry.
He went to the bedside and saw that his father was lying quietly.
His heart leaped into his throat. Could it be that his father...?
Shen Jia reached out with trembling hands, wanting to check her father's breath; her hands were shaking slightly with nervousness.
Seeing this, Qiao Yue knew that Shen Jia had misunderstood, and immediately explained, "Shen Jia, it's not what you think, Uncle is perfectly fine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jia breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and her whole body relaxed.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Qiao Yan, who was also startled by Qiao Yue's exclamation, appeared at the door.
Her eyes were cold, but her brows furrowed slightly when she saw the situation inside the room.
Qiao Yue then recounted what had happened.
Qiao Yan looked at Shen's father's clean chin and the band-aid on it, "Who did this?"
Everyone else shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.
Shen Jia suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be Sister Youzi who did it? She kindly helped me watch over my dad last night."
Qiao Yue said with certainty, "That was Xiao Youzi's doing. She looked so guilty that she didn't dare to come over. She shouldn't have shown up much earlier. That little girl must have done something 'bad'."
Chen Yunfei scratched his head. "It's just shaving someone's beard, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Qiao Yue pointed to the band-aid on Shen's father's face and said irritably, "See that band-aid? Xiao Youzi must have accidentally cut his face."
