I don't know when I fell asleep.
Wenmo had insomnia last night and didn't sleep much. By the time he finally closed his eyes, it was past 2 a.m.
Wen Mo slept soundly until dawn, when the shrill alarm clock rang out from his phone, so loud that he reached out and slapped it shut.
The screen lit up.
I glanced at the time; it was 5:30 in the morning.
Last night, I originally planned to go back to my room as soon as Xia Lian fell asleep, but we couldn't fall asleep while we were chatting, so I changed my approach and went back to my room early in the morning.
Having only slept for a little over three hours, Wen Mo's mind was still not fully awake. He squinted, really not wanting to get out of bed.
Turning my head, I saw that the girl beside me was still sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly with her soft breathing, her small mouth slightly open, and her arms still being held in her arms.
"You slept so soundly, but this is tough on me, having to get up so early." Wen Mo said helplessly, chuckling as he pinched her little cheek before getting out of bed after waking up for a while.
Looking down, I searched for my slippers for a long time but couldn't find them. Then I remembered that I hadn't worn slippers when I climbed over last night.
"I'm so sleepy I'm not thinking straight."
Wen Mo scratched his head in a daze, reached out and grasped the doorknob, peeked his head out cautiously, and after waiting for a while and seeing that no one was around, he took a step out and closed the door very carefully.
I tiptoed past my parents' room, then hurriedly went back to my room, closed the door, and pulled the blanket over myself. Even though I hadn't been in that room all night, the blanket felt warm.
Moreover, the pillow is very warm, like having a built-in hand warmer. It's soft and warm to hold, and I can't put it down.
Although she couldn't understand why, Wen Mo, who wasn't fully awake yet, didn't think too much about it and closed her eyes to take a nap.
The operation went exceptionally smoothly, and the parents didn't find out.
...
Wenmer was awakened by the chirping of birds outside.
He opened his eyes slightly, his vision still blurry with sleep, but the warmth around him made him momentarily disoriented.
The ceiling felt both familiar and strange. Turning his head, he saw Xia Lian sleeping soundly beside him, almost exactly the same scene as in the morning.
Wen Mo was stunned and quickly checked his phone screen.
It's 8:30 in the morning.
"What the hell?! Where's my alarm clock?! Didn't I already get up?"
It wasn't until I was startled awake that I realized I had indeed been woken up by the alarm clock that morning, but subconsciously I didn't want to get up at all. Perhaps I would have gone back to sleep after turning off the alarm.
No wonder this bed is so warm, no wonder this pillow is so soft.
It turns out I hadn't gotten out of bed in the first place.
Before Wen Mo could fully wake up, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock.
"Xiao Lian, get up and have breakfast."
Outside the door, I could clearly hear my mother's voice.
Looking around at the scene, the bed was messy, Lianbao was still asleep, and her mother outside the door didn't seem to be leaving.
Wen Mo felt like dying. He closed his eyes and tried hard to think of a way to explain.
I accidentally sleepwalked in the middle of the night, then accidentally climbed into this room, and then accidentally slept with her all night.
Yes, that's a very reasonable explanation.
Wenmo was so angry he laughed. "You're already playing this big game with me on your first night back home, huh?" He could already imagine his mother's expression.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
The most urgent thing is to wake Lianbao up and let her hold on for a while, otherwise, if her mother just bursts in, it will be a disaster.
Xia Lian, who was still asleep, was shaken awake. Her vision was blurry, but when she could finally see Wen Mo's face clearly, she tilted her head and instinctively leaned into his arms.
"Wenmo, hug me."
"Okay, okay."
Wenmo smiled and hugged back happily... What a load of rubbish! Is this the time for a hug?!
He reached out and tapped Xia Lian on the head. Xia Lian whimpered in pain and raised her head with a pitiful expression. Only then did she truly wake up.
Wen Mo put a finger to his lips, pointed to the door, then to himself, trying to make her understand the current situation.
Xia Lian was stunned for a moment, but after watching for a while, she understood what he meant.
"Auntie... I'll get up right away."
Hearing the response from inside, Su Juan outside the door seemed to move her feet, turned around and walked towards another room, knocking on the door.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no, my mom must be knocking on my door." Wen Mo rubbed his head, complaining in annoyance, "I've already gotten up, but I haven't even left the bed..."
Seeing this, Xia Lian also tried to think for a while and quickly came up with a plan. She reached out and tugged at Wen Mo's clothes.
"Hmm? What's wrong, baby? Can't wait to see me get whipped with a belt?" Wen Mo could still laugh even on his deathbed, teasing him half-jokingly.
Xia Lian shook her head and said nothing.
Then, she got up, put on her slippers, and walked quietly to the door.
Before Wen Mo could speak, Xia Lian simply pushed open the door and walked out as usual. Seeing this, Wen Mo hid in the room, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Good morning, Auntie.
Good morning, good morning. Did you sleep comfortably in that bed?
Just as Su Juan was about to knock on Wen Mo's door, a soft voice suddenly came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw a pretty little girl greeting her.
"Come on, let's go have breakfast first." With that, she pulled Xia Lian into the kitchen and carefully brought out the milk that had already been heated.
Seeing them leave the living room, Wenmo quickly seized the opportunity to rush into his room, lock the door, wrap himself in a blanket, and pretended to be still half asleep.
"What do you usually eat for breakfast over there?"
Su Juan asked with a smile as she tidied the stove.
"Porridge, fried eggs, and steamed buns." Xia Lian didn't sit still; she helped tidy up the breakfast and brought it to the dining table outside.
Su Juan followed her out, glanced at the closed door of Wen Mo's room, smiled, and rubbed Xia Lian's head, "Go and wake your cousin up, I'm afraid he won't be happy if I go in and wake him up."
Xia Lian nodded, walked to Wen Mo's door, and knocked lightly twice. Wen Mo responded with a couple of words from inside.
After washing up, Wen Yiquan came out of the bathroom, sat at the dining table, glanced at the door over there intentionally or unintentionally, and chuckled as he said, "I told you I didn't lie to you."
"...Fine, you win, you old codger."
Su Juan rolled her eyes at him. If the two little ones weren't at home, she really wanted to give him a good pinch.
However...
Looking up, Wen Mo pretended to be sleepy, scratched his head, walked out of the room and casually closed the door, chatting with Xia Lian.
"How long are they going to keep performing?" Wen Yiquan asked.
"Who knows? They really thought they'd fooled us."
