Nightfall.
Although it is a single room, the space is not very large. There is a small bed for overnight stay, which can barely accommodate one person. However, the space is cramped and there is no quilt, so one can only lie down in the bed with clothes on. The conditions are not good.
After all, Zhao Weidong was a soldier who fought in the army, so he didn't care about these things at all. Even if there was no cot, he could sit directly on the chair all night.
But Zhao Xiaobei is still young, and he shouldn't be allowed to suffer with others.
So Zhao Weidong originally thought of asking someone he knew to send Zhao Xiaobei back to the compound. Jiang Nian was there and would definitely take care of Zhao Xiaobei. There was a bed and quilt at home, so he could sleep more comfortably.
But Zhao Xiaobei shook his head and said he would not leave.
Even though the child is just a little kid, he is a very opinionated person.
When they first moved to the Southwest Military Region, Song Yingying didn't know how to get along with a child, and she didn't look like someone who was easy to get close to. Song Yingying didn't take the initiative to speak, so Zhao Xiaobei was stubborn and didn't say a word.
He was dragging a huge object that was bigger than him, and even though he couldn't lift it anymore, he refused to ask Song Yingying for help.
Stubbornness and competitiveness are ingrained in this child's bones.
If Song Yingying hadn't opened Zhao Xiaobei's mouth with a packet of instant noodles, the relationship between these two people might not have been so easy to become close.
The Zhao Xiaobei in Song Yingying's memory is exactly the same as the Zhao Xiaobei she felt after waking up today.
She once again felt Zhao Xiaobei's stubbornness, persistence, and...fragility.
If such a young child were really allowed to go home alone, without his father by his side, he would probably toss and turn and not be able to sleep no matter how good the environment was.
When Zhao Weidong tried to persuade Zhao Xiaobei to go back, Song Yingying spoke.
"Let Xiaobei stay."
Zhao Weidong looked back at Song Yingying, and seeing that there was no trace of rejection in her expression, he changed his mind.
"Then stay."
Zhao Weidong made new arrangements. Song Yingying would sleep on the hospital bed and Zhao Xiaobei would sleep on the small bed. He would ask the nurse on duty for a coat and cover Zhao Xiaobei with it. They would just make do with it. Anyway, they would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
But...
"What about you? Where do you sleep?" Song Yingying asked with a frown.
Zhao Weidong said bluntly, "I won't sleep."
Not only did Zhao Weidong not sleep, he also sat on a chair all night, watching over the two of them.
After Song Yingying realized this, the image of the man lying on the damp ground on a cold spring day with just a mat spread out flashed through her mind.
Zhao Weidong slept for several months.
She hesitated.
Song Yingying thought for a moment and slowly said, "You... come up and sleep."
As soon as the words came out.
Zhao Weidong and Zhao Xiaobei both looked up, and their two pairs of dark eyes stared straight at Song Yingying.
One big and one small, both with fiery eyes.
Especially Zhao Weidong, there seemed to be a violent wave rolling in his eyes, as if it was about to surge towards her.
Song Yingying knew that Zhao Weidong had misunderstood. "She" had said such words to Zhao Weidong before, and this man must remember it.
But the single bed is so small. If Zhao Weidong comes up to sleep with her, the two adults will probably have to hug each other tightly, with their bodies pressed against each other to avoid falling off.
Song Yingying could accept her different feelings towards Zhao Weidong, and could also accept this body's subconscious attachment to Zhao Weidong. As for physical contact, she...
She's... not sure yet.
A little later, just a little later.
Song Yingying coughed a few times out of nervousness, "Ahem, I'm talking to Xiaobei. Xiaobei, come up, he will sleep with me, and you can sleep in this small bed."
