Chapter 45 Sleeping in the Same Bed
"Niuniu, stop playing, let's wash our faces, brush our teeth and go to bed..." Shen Sisi took the iron basin and towel and poured hot water.
The little guy was stacking blocks. When he heard his mother's words, he whimpered several times and stayed where he was, refusing to move.
Hearing that they were going to wash, Xu Hongying suddenly opened the door half a crack, revealing an eye.
Shen Sisi saw it all but remained calm. After finally catching Niu Niu in the bathroom, she heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from Xu Hongying's room to the room next to hers.
Why did Xu Hongying sneak into her room?
Shen Sisi quickly cleaned Niu Niu and walked out quietly.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw that the cabinet door was open. Xu Hongying had half of her body buried in it, searching for something.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Shen Sisi's voice suddenly came out, scaring her to death.
Xu Hongying shrank suddenly, as if struck by lightning. She clutched her chest and cursed, "Are you dead? Why are you walking without making any sound?"
Shen Sisi wasn't annoyed, but rather looked like she was enjoying the show, leaning against the doorframe with her arms folded over her chest. "I called you several times, but you were just too engrossed in searching... What were you looking for in my room at this hour?"
She shouted in a very righteous manner: "Is it not okay for me to look for a quilt?"
Shen Sisi pointed at the large and conspicuous dragon and phoenix quilt in front of her: "Are you sure... you are looking for a quilt?"
Xu Hongying's face was covered in bruises, and it was obvious that she was lying.
"Of course I saw it, I need you to remind me..."
She reached out and took the brand new dragon and phoenix quilt away. As she passed by, she glared at Shen Sisi, blaming her for ruining her good thing.
As soon as the man left, Shen Sisi immediately took out the iron box from the corner of the cabinet.
The gold jewelry, passbooks, money and bills inside were all intact.
What exactly is she looking for?
Shen Sisi felt very strange, and her intuition told her that this matter was related to Yang Qiuxia.
Could it be... that he is looking for an apology letter?
Thinking of the letter, Shen Sisi turned around and looked at the poster calendar hanging on the wall. The apology letter was pasted on the back of the calendar.
While she was thinking, she bent down and carried Niuniu to the bed.
Niuniu was tired from playing today and had been yawning for a long time. Before she heard the end of the story, her long and curled eyelashes trembled and slowly closed...
Shen Sisi lowered her head, kissed Niuniu's sleeping face, and pulled the quilt up.
At this time, the door opened.
Gu Chengfeng pushed the door open and walked in under the cover of darkness.
There was a small lamp on in the room, the fire in the stove was still simmering, and his enamel cup was placed next to it, with steaming water in it.
He paused slightly, and all the wind and frost on his body turned into heat.
It turns out that this is what home feels like.
"You're back." Shen Sisi was wearing a coat and curled up in a ball due to the cold.
Seeing this, Gu Chengfeng took off his military coat, and the next second, the warm clothes were covered on Shen Sisi's shoulders.
"Why are you up? Go back quickly, don't catch a cold."
Shen Sisi was enveloped by the heat from his body and didn't seem so cold anymore.
"I'm fine, I'm in good health. But you, drink the hot water quickly to warm yourself up..."
Gu Chengfeng had just come back from a walk and was sweating all over. He frowned as he looked at the cup of hot water, then looked at Shen Sisi's eager eyes and drank it with gritted teeth.
Now it's even hotter.
"Are you done with everything?" Shen Sisi asked with concern.
"Well, I'm done."
"There's hot water on the stove, so don't take cold showers all day." She worriedly warned him, "After you take a shower, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Gu Chengfeng was in no hurry to wash up. He stood straight and said in a serious tone, "I'm sorry for making you suffer today."
"What kind of grievance is this..." Shen Sisi said with a wry smile, "I have long since forged a solid foundation. But you, being caught in the middle, must be in a difficult position!"
Gu Chengfeng's eyelids moved slightly. This was not considered a grievance. What kind of hard life had she lived in the past?
As for him... he had long been accustomed to his mother.
"I have arranged everything. She will be back soon."
"When I'm not at home, take Niuniu out to play, go shopping, go to the movies, go to a teahouse for tea... Don't stay with her."
Shen Sisi saw all his worries and care.
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. I can see that the old lady is determined to live here. She is your mother. If you drive her away like this, she will definitely break your spine..."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Gu Chengfeng knew that she was stubborn. Since she had already spoken, she must have a plan in mind.
"Okay then. Anyway, don't suffer any injustice." Gu Chengfeng estimated that in a few days, the "helpers" he hired would arrive in Jiangcheng. By then, his mother would probably have to buy a standing ticket to return to Beijing overnight.
After saying this, Shen Sisi felt a little sleepy and yawned loudly.
"Gu Chengfeng, wash up and go to bed early..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Sisi suddenly woke up from his doze.
There are only two rooms in the house. Xu Hongying slept in Gu Chengfeng's room, so where did he sleep?
Gu Chengfeng obviously thought of this as well.
Seeing Shen Sisi’s embarrassed and conflicted look, he pursed his lips sadly.
"I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."
He walked into the room with his long legs and was stunned as soon as the cabinet door opened.
The dragon and phoenix are... gone!
Shen Sisi's face also turned red. Xu Hongying had just taken the quilt away.
At this moment, people have turned off the lights and gone to bed.
Gu Chengfeng and Shen Sisi stood in front of the cabinet, dumbfounded.
There was silence for a moment.
"How about... you go back to the barracks?"
Gu Chengfeng's face was stern, his eyes flashing with a dark light: "It's past lights out time."
“I see…”
The north wind blew in from outside the window, shaking the windows.
I'm afraid it's going to snow.
In this weather, if you sleep in the living room without a quilt overnight, you will definitely catch a cold.
Shen Sisi bit her lower lip with difficulty: "How about...staying here for the night?"
"Niuniu and I will sleep on one side, and you will sleep on the other side."
In fact, she was also feeling a bit awkward. In her entire life, except for sleeping with her parents when she was a child, this was the first time she had slept in the same bed with a man.
She wasn't worried about what Gu Chengfeng would do to her, she just felt embarrassed.
The corners of Gu Chengfeng's mouth curled up slightly, but disappeared in an instant.
Without giving Shen Sisi a chance to regret, Gu Chengfeng picked up a pillow and placed it on the outermost end of the bed: "You go to sleep first, I'll be there soon."
It sounds like... I'm a little bit looking forward to it?
He could hardly hide his good mood, and he walked briskly to take a towel and soap and went to take a shower.
Shen Sisi had no idea what was going on in his mind. She crawled into the quilt with her heart pounding, her body as stiff as a rock.
Gu Chengfeng came back again, and his whole body exuded a faint fragrance.
On the bed, Shen Sisi had her back to him, her side pressed against Niuniu, and she moved as close to the wall as possible, leaving him plenty of space.
The thick quilt formed a sinuous curve on her body, and his mind suddenly recalled that night when she was wearing a shirt and brushing her hair with bare legs.
His wheat-colored face turned slightly red, all the way to his ears.
