Chen Heng looked at him awkwardly. Her feelings were understandable, but her words were too hurtful: "You're just saying sour grapes because you can't have them."
"Last time you said I had the talent to be a prime minister, and that in the future I would be the one who would be below and everyone else would be above. So why am I jealous?" Xie Jian paused as he sorted through his books. Prime Minister? That was indeed his goal.
"Yes, yes, you are the best. Anyway, since they are coming to visit, we should prepare well." Chen Heng put the account book away, got up and spread the quilt. When she saw the two quilts on the bed, she was stunned.
Over the past year, every time she woke up, she found herself sleeping in Xie Jian's bed, the two of them cuddling each other. Could it be that she was too cold sleeping alone? But she also slept next to him in the summer.
From being uncomfortable at the beginning to letting things take their course now, she gradually got used to it.
Considering that I have already decided to be with Xie Jian for the rest of my life, it seems there is no need for two quilts, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jian took off his outer coat and came over wearing only his inner clothes. He saw Ah Heng staring at the quilt in a daze and asked casually.
Chen Heng was startled and stared at Xie Jian in front of her for a moment. In the warm candlelight, Xie Jian's face was not warm at all, and he still looked cold and cold. From her memories of traveling through time, this guy had this expression. He was rarely seen smiling, and even in front of his family, he rarely showed any warmth.
Yes, with the Xie family experiencing such a misfortune, relatives either died or became strangers when they met. No one would be happy, and it would be best not to have an expression of deep hatred and resentment.
But the person in front of him was no longer the frail and even weak-looking fifteen-year-old boy. He was now tall and slender, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. Anyone who saw him would only think of him as a young man whose every move revealed composure.
It was the first time that Ah Heng looked at him like this. Xie Jian generously let him look at him. He had grown taller and stronger, and could even hold her in his arms. He was now a man.
Shen Heng was a little embarrassed when she realized she had been looking at him for a little too long. But when she saw him turn around and let her look at him, she had a smug look on her face and closed her eyes: "Go to sleep."
It really can't stand praise.
The Xie family was particularly lively on New Year's Day.
Xiao Miner brought a lot of fireworks and set them off with Xia, Chen Heng, Xie Jian, Madam Feng and the servants.
Chen Heng and Xiao Min'er played and made noises, occasionally dragging Xia along to chase after them.
Looking at the playful family, Xie Jian had a rare smile on his face.
Since there were no guests, the family went shopping on the first day of the new year. On the first day of the new year, Xie Jian took Xiao Min'er to visit Wang Nei Shi to pay New Year's greetings. No one knew what they talked about, and he didn't come back until very late.
Chen Heng fell asleep early. Perhaps because she was used to being with someone else, Xie Jian always felt restless. She opened her eyes in the middle of the night and found that Xie Jian was already sleeping beside her, and she was nestled in his arms as usual.
Listening to the regular heartbeat of the person beside her and feeling his body temperature, Shen Heng moved her fingers, and after a while, she slowly stretched out her hands to hug him, buried her face deeper in his arms, and then closed her eyes.
At this moment, Xie Jian, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them. After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After the breathing of the person in his arms gradually became even, he stroked her hair with one hand, lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the forehead, and then fell asleep.
