Sheng An Ning looked at Pei Nuo with tears in her eyes, and quickly walked over, holding her hand: "Xiao Nuo, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid."
As a result, Pei Nuo didn't even look at her, but stared at Sheng Chengan. Suddenly, he ran towards Sheng Chengan, threw down the pillow, put his hands through both sides of Sheng Chengan's waist, hugged his waist, buried his face in his chest, and rubbed it.
Like a kitten seeking comfort, she nestled in Sheng Cheng'an's arms.
Sheng An Ning was stunned. She couldn't believe that Pei Nuo, who had relied on her the most before, was holding Sheng Chengan tightly. She didn't believe that the two of them were not involved.
Sheng Chengan was also stunned for a moment, not knowing where to put his hands. He held them up for a long time before hesitantly patting Pei Nuo's shoulders and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, are you dreaming?"
Pei Nuo still didn't say anything, but her body kept burrowing in Sheng Chengan's arms like a kitten seeking comfort.
After a while, when Pei Nuo's emotions had stabilized, Sheng An Ning went over and coaxed Pei Nuo to go downstairs and play together.
Pei Nuo still held onto the corner of Sheng Chengan's clothes, looking at him eagerly, as if waiting for his decision.
Sheng Chengan was surprised at Pei Nuo's dependence on him, and thought for a moment: "Let's go downstairs and drink some water together, okay?"
Pei Nuo actually nodded and looked at Sheng Chengan obediently.
Sheng An Ning thought this scene was incredible. She taught Pei Nuo how to nod for a long time, but Pei Nuo still couldn't learn it and could only follow her.
Unexpectedly, she would nod after Sheng Chengan said a few words.
Her eyes kept scanning back and forth between the two of them. If someone said that Pei Nuo and Zhu Zhu had no relationship, she would definitely not believe it.
Shortly after going downstairs, Zhou Shixun also came down with his three children who were taking a nap. The children always recovered their energy very well, and when they woke up, they started to make a lot of noise in the living room.
Sheng Cheng'an fed Pei Nuo some water. After he put down the cup and sat down, he saw Pei Nuo staring at him without blinking, as if he was afraid that Sheng Cheng'an would disappear if he blinked.
Sheng Chengan was uncomfortable being stared at, especially since her face was the same as Zhu Zhu's, but she had a pair of unusually clear eyes. He felt uncomfortable and rubbed her head with his hand: "It's okay, I won't leave, you don't have to keep staring at me."
Pei Nuo still looked at him for a long time before he reached out to hold Sheng Chengan's fingers and shook them gently.
Sheng An Ning was once again surprised by Pei Nuo's initiative. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to grab Sheng Chengan's hand and even shake it, as if trying to please him.
Sheng Chengan also realized that this was Pei Nuo's attempt to show goodwill, and smiled gently: "So good."
Sheng An Ning stood beside Zhou Shixun and whispered, "See? Pei Nuo likes my brother. If you say Pei Nuo has nothing in his mind, I really don't believe it. Do you think there is a possibility that a trace of Zhu Zhu's soul is in Pei Nuo, so Pei Nuo is particularly in love with my brother."
Zhou Shixun couldn't explain this clearly, mainly because what happened to Sheng Anning's family was already in his blind spot of knowledge.
It also forced him, an atheist, to believe that there are many things outside the world that cannot be explained by science.
At night, Pei Nuo became even more attached to Sheng Chengan. He asked Sheng Chengan to feed him when he ate or drank when he drank. When he went to bed at night, he held Sheng Chengan's hand and refused to let go.
Sheng An Ning was no longer able to be surprised. She took Pei Nuo's other hand and coaxed her: "Xiao Nuo, you can't sleep with Brother Cheng An because he is a boy and you are a girl. You should sleep with me tonight, okay?"
Pei Nuo turned his head persistently and looked at Sheng Chengan, staring at his face closely, with a hint of resistance in his silence.
Sheng An Ning definitely couldn't let Pei Nuo and Sheng Cheng'an live in the same room. After all, Pei Nuo was an adult girl, and reputation was very important in this era.
Even if Pei Nuo has mental problems, she cannot be allowed to live in the same room with an adult man.
Still persuading: "Xiao Nuo, we will be able to see brother tomorrow morning. Come to bed with me now, and we will go to find brother Cheng'an after we get up, okay?"
Pei Nuo suddenly struggled to break free from Sheng An Ning's hand, grabbed Sheng Cheng'an's hands with both hands, and his expression rarely changed. He looked at Sheng Cheng'an like a poor little thing.
Sheng Chengan couldn't bear it, so he glanced at Sheng Anning and said, "Forget it, I'll sleep in the same room with her. I'll sleep on the floor and she'll sleep on the bed."
Sheng An Ning sighed, and could only do this, and rubbed Pei Nuo's head: "You are such a little weirdo."
Sheng Chengan was sleeping in the guest room on the first floor, and Sheng Anning went to get Pei Nuo's bedding down.
The guest room on the first floor is also a study. Because there are many people in the family, a 1.5-meter-wide wooden bed is placed in the study so that there can be enough space for many people to stay.
Sheng An Ning went over to help make the bed, and saw that Pei Nuo was still holding Sheng Chengan's hand, as if she was afraid that Sheng Chengan would disappear if she let go.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled: "It's really annoying, brother, remember to wake Xiaonuo up to go to the toilet at night, and then call auntie and ask her to come over to help take off your pants and pull them up."
Sheng Chengan nodded: "Okay, you go see An An and the others first, I can take good care of her."
Sheng An Ning was still worried, but there was nothing she could do. She could only give Pei Nuo a few more instructions, not caring whether she could understand or not, and then she walked out and closed the door.
There were only two people in the room, and Sheng Chengan felt a little uncomfortable again. He cleared his throat. He couldn't say anything too profound to a childish girl.
"Go to sleep first."
He pulled Pei Nuo over, asked her to sit down, helped her take off her shoes, and helped her lie down. He then pulled the quilt over her and covered her eyes with his big hands: "Go to sleep obediently, I'll take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"
After making sure Pei Nuo was lying down properly, Sheng Cheng'an picked up the bedding on the desk and spread it on the ground. When he was about to lie down, he saw Pei Nuo, who had his eyes closed, suddenly climbed up and walked towards him barefoot.
Without saying a word, he laid the floor that Sheng Cheng'an had just laid, looking at Sheng Cheng'an eagerly.
Sheng Chengan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he squatted down and looked at Pei Nuo: "You are a girl, we can't sleep on the same bed, it's not good. Look, I won't leave, I'll sleep on the floor and stay with you, okay?"
Pei Nuo pursed her lips and looked at Sheng Chengan, showing no sign of compromise.
Sheng Chengan wasn't sure if Pei Nuo understood what he said, so he pulled her arm and said, "The floor is cold, why don't you go to bed? If you don't listen, I'll ignore you tomorrow."
This sentence really worked. Pei Nuo immediately got up as soon as he finished speaking, held Sheng Chengan's hand, and pointed at the bed with his other hand, with a silent persistence.
Sheng Chengan really understood what the little girl meant, that they should go to bed together.
