Looking at the receding figure, the fourth brother turned back to look at the third brother and asked, "Are you still going to follow?"

"Nonsense."

After the third brother finished speaking, he walked back home without looking back. He planned to go back and sleep a little longer before dawn.

The fourth brother stood there in a daze, while the other one followed the third brother's footsteps, also with the idea of ​​taking a rest.

Seeing them leave without hesitation, the fourth brother shrugged his shoulders. What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to worry about with the general following him? Forget it, he should go back to sleep.

After figuring it out, he quickened his pace and caught up with the two people in front of him.

They said they were escorting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but everyone knew that with the generals here, they were not needed at all. This trip was just a disguised vacation given to them by the Emperor.

Xiao Yi looked at the gate getting closer and closer, and a feeling of familiarity yet strangeness arose in his heart.

Thinking of what Zhuangzhuang would look like when he saw him in a while, he felt happy and quickened his pace to overtake Jiang Shanhe.

The dogs in the yard were very smart. Although they were not very familiar with Xiaoyi, they were familiar with Jiang Shanhe behind them. Thanks to Jiang Shanhe's advance warning, they did not make any noise, otherwise the sleeping Zhuangzhuang would have been woken up by them.

Xiao Yi ran to the kitchen with his schoolbag on his back, opened the door and drew aside the curtain. The smile on his face just appeared and then froze on his face.

In the kitchen, six people looked at each other, with a faint sense of awkwardness floating in the air.

Xiaozhu and Yuling leaned against each other cautiously, not daring to even look at Xiaoyi.

Xiao Yi held the door curtain tightly, leaned against the door tightly, looked at the two people strangely, confused, who are they? It seems that he has never seen them before.

The two were extremely frightened by Xiao Yi's stare. Even though he was just a child, it would be fine if they didn't know his identity. But after knowing it, they could no longer treat him as a child.

Fortunately, the weird atmosphere among the three people ended with Xiaoguo's arrival.

After the brief introduction, Xiao Yi was fine. He was not the shy person to begin with, so he was very open and without airs. He greeted Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu first.

But Xiaozhu is different from Yuling, and she still feels a little bit hesitant.

Seeing how restrained the two of them were, Xiao Guo had no choice but to separate the three of them, otherwise he would just stand there with no way to solve the problem.

"Xiaozhu and Yuling, watch over the fire for us. I'll take Xiaoyi into the house first."

"good!"

As soon as she said this, Xiaozhu and Yuling wanted to nod their heads.

Xiaoguo chuckled, then took Xiaoyi into the house.

Xiao Yi took two steps holding her hand, and turned back to smile at the two young ladies, waving goodbye.

Although I don't know why they look at me strangely, I still look forward to making new friends.

Xiao Guo noticed his little action, turned around to look at the two little girls who looked like they were struck by lightning, and smiled helplessly.

"Auntie, is Zhuangzhuang awake?"

"No, it will probably take a while."

Xiaoguo opened the curtain and Jiang Shanhe, who had just returned from washing up, followed her in.

When Xiao Yi saw Zhuangzhuang on the bed, she excitedly rushed over, put her schoolbag on the bed, and then lay beside him, supporting her face with her hands, looking at him with such a fiery look.

The smile on the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

The friendship between two little boys will not fade away with the passage of time even if they don't see each other often.

Zhuangzhuang in the dream seemed to have a premonition and his brows wrinkled slightly. Just when everyone held their breath and thought he would wake up, he just smacked his lips and then there was no movement.

Xiao Yi was so frightened by him that he couldn't even catch his breath. His surprise plan hadn't been implemented yet, so he couldn't end it so hastily.

Seeing that Zhuangzhuang showed no signs of waking up, and the meal would take some time to be cooked anyway, I let him sleep a little longer and wake him up before the meal was cooked.

Xiaoguo prepared to go out with Jiang Shanhe first. Anyway, he couldn't wake up for a while, so Xiaoyi would stay with Zhuangzhuang.

Before Jiang Shanhe left the door, he gave Zhuangzhuang a meaningful look, with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoguo just happened to see the corners of his mouth that he hadn't had time to close. He looked around the room behind him curiously, but didn't find anything worth laughing about.

Jiang Shanhe put away his smile, shook his head, half-covered her and went to wash up.

"Aren't you done washing up?"

Xiaoguo struggled a bit, but the opponent was trying pretty hard.

"I'll wash it again with you."

Jiang Shanhe pushed her as he spoke, as if he wanted to get away from the house as quickly as possible.

Xiaoguo looked at him strangely. He was not sick, was he? Why did he have to accompany her to wash again after washing up? Did he not want to leave her for even a moment?

Ahem, I'm still a little shy...

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Shanhe pinched her red cheeks and looked at her curiously. Why did she blush so much?

"Uh...I won't tell you!"

Xiaoguo turned her head away shyly and stopped looking at him.

In the end, she was just being too sentimental, but she would never admit it.

–

At this time, only Xiaoyi and Zhuangzhuang were left in the room.

Xiao Yi wanted Zhuangzhuang to see him first when he opened his eyes, so he didn't want to move for even a second. His arms were sore from being stretched.

But remembering his plan, he moved his numb arms, carefully took out a monster mask from his schoolbag and put it on his face.

I was imagining that I would be so surprised when I suddenly saw him in this look. Isn't this surprise big enough? It must be bigger than the surprise they gave me!

Hehe~

Just as he was immersed in his fantasy, a slight drowsiness came over him, his eyes gradually became blurry, and his little head began to sway left and right, almost hitting his strong face.

Finally, he succumbed to sleepiness, tilted his head and fell asleep peacefully beside Zhuangzhuang.

I also got up early, so I must be very sleepy. It’s good that I can hold on for this long.

After hearing his little snore, Zhuangzhuang, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes helplessly and looked at the ghost face mask beside him.

I promised to give him a surprise, but how could the reality be like this?

He was either pretending to be surprised or pretending to be very surprised. Either way would be difficult for him, as he was not good at acting.

To surprise others, you should be more cautious.

Zhuangzhuang sat up, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times, and found that the other party was actually sleeping more soundly than him. He had just wanted to wake him up and pretend to sleep, but it seemed that this was not going to work.

I watched him for a long time, but there was no sign of him waking up.

At this moment, Zhuangzhuang felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have gotten up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

If he didn't get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, he wouldn't have noticed that his father had come back. If he didn't notice that his father had come back, he wouldn't have been so excited that he couldn't sleep.

If he hadn't been unable to sleep, he wouldn't have woken up so early. If he hadn't woken up so early, he wouldn't have heard the surprise activity Xiaoyi talked about.

If he hadn't heard the surprise activity Xiao Yi was going to give him, he wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation.

Last night, Zhuangzhuang was carried to the toilet in a daze. He didn't think about anything during the process, but after returning to bed, he suddenly woke up.

His mother is not that strong. He is not exaggerating. His mother is not strong enough to lift him up. So the question is, who carried him to the toilet?

The third person in the dark...

Countless guesses flashed through his mind, and each one made him extremely scared.

I plucked up my courage, secretly got up and looked towards the bed. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

However, he remembered that there was a night-shining stone under his mother's pillow, so he placed it under the pillow for convenience at night.

Zhuangzhuang secretly reached out his hand and touched the night-shining stone from under her pillow based on his memory.

After taking it out, he shone it to the side. This time, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the night-shining stone in his hand.

Why is Dad at home?! Is he dreaming or hallucinating?!
