Reaching the door of the children's room, Wen Shuqiao let go of Shen Jiazhou's hand: "You should go back to sleep too."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at the master bedroom and, for the first time, felt so reluctant to go back to his room to rest.
He said, "I'll go in with you and see Can Can."
Wen Shuqiao didn't say anything, but gently pushed open the door to the children's room. There was no light in the room, so Wen Shuqiao turned on her phone's flashlight and went in by the dim light.
Shen Jiazhou followed closely behind her.
The two walked to the bedside, and Wen Shuqiao turned on the bedside lamp before she could see Cancan's sleeping posture.
She's being quite well-behaved right now, but she's already rolled to the very back and seems to be getting more and more crooked as she sleeps.
Wen Shuqiao lifted the blanket a little and sat on the bed, then turned to her side and adjusted Cancan's sleeping position.
Can Can is already fast asleep and hasn't woken up at all.
Wen Shuqiao covered him with the blanket, then turned to look at Shen Jiazhou, who was still standing by the bed: "You should go and rest too."
Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips: "I suddenly remembered that the TV is still on. I'll go turn it off first."
After saying that, he went out.
Wen Shuqiao didn't pay attention and lay down directly. She picked up her phone, intending to read a novel for a while before resting. But just as she opened a novel she hadn't finished reading a few days ago, the door to the children's room was pushed open again.
She looked up and saw that Shen Jiazhou had returned.
Wen Shuqiao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou stood at the door for a while, seemingly mustering a lot of courage, and quickly walked towards the bedside. Under Wen Shuqiao's gaze, he directly lifted the quilt, lay down, turned over, wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his face in his shoulder, and did it all in one go.
Wen Shuqiao felt Shen Jiazhou's breath on her neck, and it took her a while to come back to her senses while holding her phone.
She tried to look down at Shen Jiazhou, but he pressed his head against her chin, preventing her from doing so.
He muttered, "I'm so scared, you have to take responsibility."
Tonight, he's going to lie down with Wen Shuqiao! No one can separate them!
Wen Shuqiao was exasperated: "Isn't it a bit strange for someone who's 1.9 meters tall to say something like that?"
Shen Jiazhou, who is so big, is now squeezing into her arms as if he wants to make himself look petite and adorable.
“I’m not 1.9 meters tall.” Shen Jiazhou raised his head and said, “I’m only 1.86 meters tall, don’t tell me I’m taller.”
He opened his eyes and looked at the phone in Wen Shuqiao's hand again: "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Still reading novels? Are you kidding me?"
Wen Shuqiao glanced at her phone and said, "I was just thinking of scrolling through it for a bit before going to sleep."
Shen Jiazhou reached out and took her phone, then stretched out his long arm and placed it steadily on the bedside table, also turning off the lamp as he did so.
The room was shrouded in darkness. Shen Jiazhou approached Wen Shuqiao again and muttered, "Go to sleep."
I didn't feel anything when there was light, but now that the lights are off, and we're lying on the same pillow, even though we've kissed and hugged, it still feels a little awkward.
Shen Jiazhou was like a fireball at this moment, his body temperature was transmitted to her through the two thin layers of pajamas, and her body temperature seemed to have risen a lot.
Shen Jiazhou wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, and even intertwined his fingers with hers. His legs were originally placed in a proper position, but after a while, his knees lifted up and quietly pressed down on Wen Shuqiao's legs.
I'd like to try and see how it goes.
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze and muttered to herself, "Are you an octopus?"
He wanted nothing more than to cling to her.
She was fine when she didn't say anything, but when she did, Shen Jiazhou heard the indulgence in her words. He hummed in agreement: "I'm scared, so I'll hold you tight. If a ghost comes later, remember to help me drive it away."
At this moment, every breath he took was filled with Wen Shuqiao's scent, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
But he likes this feeling of security.
Wen Shuqiao's heart was pounding, but she still didn't push him away, letting him hang on her like a giant pet.
Shen Jiazhou kissed her earlobe and whispered, "I like you so much, how about you?"
Wen Shuqiao tilted her head slightly and kissed his forehead: "I like you."
Shen Jiazhou was happy and put one leg on Wen Shuqiao.
It really is like... a domestic pet, so clingy.
Wen Shuqiao raised her free hand and placed it on his arm that was across her waist, patting him lightly.
My thoughts drifted a little further away.
She actually remembered some little things. A long time ago, he would ask Can Can whether she liked other uncles more or her younger uncle more.
Now that they're together, he keeps repeatedly trying to reassure her about his feelings, asking her to like him a little more, and then a little more.
Shen Jiazhou doesn't seem as confident as he appears; on the contrary, he seems to need a lot of security.
He desperately needs love and validation.
Shen Jiazhou asked softly, "Are you asleep?"
He knew that Wen Shuqiao was not asleep; the hand on his arm was still gently patting him, trying to soothe him.
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze and asked, "Not yet."
Shen Jiazhou said "oh" and then fell silent.
But under the covers, his hands, which were clasped together with Wen Shuqiao's, began to play with her fingers.
Wen Shuqiao slapped his arm hard: "Go to sleep, why are you playing with your fingers?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement and became obedient again.
But after a short while, she whispered, "I have trouble sleeping."
He was physically tired, but his mind was still sharp. The thought of lying with Wen Shuqiao tonight made him feel a little giddy.
Wen Shuqiao's eyes had adjusted to the darkness by now. She turned over and kissed Shen Jiazhou's face: "I like you very much. Go to sleep, it's very late."
