The two decided to stay and wait for the first rays of sunlight at dawn the next day.
The foreman ordered someone to bring up the recliner and blanket.
Xu Tingchuan told them to go down and rest, then held Ni Sitian and lay down on a recliner.
This lounge chair is quite spacious, but it is a single lounge chair after all, and it would be a bit crowded for two people to lie on it.
But this crowded situation is just right for the two of them.
Ni Sitian lay on her side, hugging Xu Tingchuan's waist, her head resting on his chest. "Christmas Eve is almost over."
"Mmm." Xu Tingchuan hugged her, holding her hand, their fingers intertwined.
"Did you ever believe in Santa Claus when you were little?" Ni Sitian raised her head, resting her chin on his chest, looking at him curiously.
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and shook his head.
“I believed in it when I was little.” Ni Sitian lowered her chin, rested her head back on Xu Tingchuan’s chest, chuckled silently, and said, “Back then, when I was in kindergarten, after hearing the teacher tell the story of Santa Claus, I was really silly and hung my stockings by my bed on Christmas Eve, looking forward to waking up the next morning to see presents. Unfortunately, there was nothing. But when I got to kindergarten, I found that all the other children had presents, and I kept wondering if Santa Claus disliked me.”
"Later I found out that the so-called Santa Claus was actually played by parents who doted on their children." Ni Sitian rubbed her cheek against Xu Tingchuan's chest and said softly, "Don't you think I'm silly?"
"Not stupid." Xu Tingchuan lowered his head and gently kissed the center of her hair. "That's something very precious about you."
Despite growing up in such a family environment, she still developed a positive, optimistic, kind, and innocent personality.
This is where he is completely inferior to Ni Sitian. During his childhood, his parents were busy all year round and were absent for most of his growing up. As a result, he became reluctant to communicate with others. He was already lucky enough to have a grandfather and a good material life. Compared to Ni Sitian, he was like living in a honey pot.
“Xu Tingchuan, when we have children in the future, we must remember to prepare a gift for him on Christmas Eve,” Ni Sitian said earnestly.
"Mm," Xu Tingchuan replied.
“Tell me about your childhood, but don’t talk about your glorious history of skipping grades.” Ni Sitian rested her chin on her hand again, looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, “Tell me about you and Jiayue. Actually, I’m so envious of Jiayue for having a brother like you. You must spoil her a lot.”
Xu Tingchuan's expression stiffened slightly. He lowered his eyes and quickly concealed the strangeness in them. He said calmly, "There's nothing special about it. It's just that at that time, there was suddenly a little glutinous rice ball in the house. It was soft, small, and very cute."
"How could it have suddenly appeared? Didn't you see it when Mom was pregnant?" Ni Sitian smiled and said casually.
"Hmm." Xu Tingchuan responded vaguely, changing the subject: "You'll be graduating in less than six months, have you thought about what kind of wedding you want?"
The topic was a bit abrupt, and Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment before asking blankly, "Are we really going to have a wedding?"
She originally thought that Xu Tingchuan was just saying that to Jin Rulan to get through the matter, but she didn't expect that he was actually considering the wedding.
"Of course." Xu Tingchuan looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Don't you want to?"
"But didn't you say you didn't have time for a wedding?" Ni Sitian still remembered what Xu Tingchuan said to her before they got their marriage certificate.
