"Not yet, bro, have you finished your bath?"

After Qin Nianqing finished saying this, he heard the sound of the door being pushed. He looked over unconsciously, and when he saw Jinjin, Duoduo, Yuanyuan, their puppies, and Daju, five adult cats coming in, he was stunned for a moment, then automatically lifted the quilt and let them crawl into his bed.

"Well," Mu Qingji heard the puppy's barking, paused in wiping his hair, and then said softly, "Guoguo, puppies can't sleep with you. They are too small and you can easily crush them."

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's words, and suddenly remembered the incident half a month ago when he slept with Jin Jin and the others in all kinds of weird sleeping positions, which crushed a puppy and made it cry. He suddenly felt guilty and blamed himself. He felt so uncomfortable that he almost cried. Fortunately, he held back, otherwise his reputation would have been ruined.

"Brother, but they seem to be afraid of thunder. Mu Qingji bent down and brought all five puppies to the bed. He looked out the window with some worry at the heavy rain that would not stop for a while, and rolled his eyes, "Hey! I'll circle them together so they won't be crushed."

As Mu Qingji spoke, he got out of bed to get their nests, then put all the puppies in the nests and let Jinjin and the other three adult dogs surround them. He then let the adult cats sleep on their stomachs, and he slept next to them. It was perfect like that.

Mu Qingji listened quietly to Qin Nianqing's movements without saying a word. He wiped his hair in silence. His thoughts went back to the year when Qin Nianqing was eight years old.

That year, old Dahuang died of old age. Before he died, he ran out of the house and finally died under an old locust tree with his body stiff. Old Daju also died the day after Dahuang's death. Its five children surrounded it, and the cat's meow was sad and desolate, mixed with the crying of eight-year-old Qin Nianqing and the wailing of Jinjin and others. The scene was very sad.

Mu Qingji rushed over that day, and when Qin Nianqing saw him, she threw herself into his arms and cried very sadly. Now Jin Jin and the others have also entered old age.

He didn't know whether this child would cry breathlessly like he did when he was a child when facing their death, but no matter what, before these things happened, he hoped that Qin Nianqing could be happy.

"Brother, am I super smart?"

After Qin Nianqing covered them with the quilt, he picked up the phone again and talked to Mu Qingji. Mu Qingji nodded and said lovingly, "Well, the children are the smartest."

The little animals lay beside Qin Nianqing, looking at him with their innocent big eyes, as if asking him why he wasn't sleeping yet?

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's voice, his ears and cheeks turned red again. He covered his face and said awkwardly, "Brother, I want to sleep."

Mu Qingji unconsciously glanced at the time on his watch, then looked up at the rain which had obviously subsided a lot and there was no thunder, and nodded, "Well, go to sleep, good night."

"Brother," Qin Nianqing suddenly felt reluctant and called him anxiously, "I suddenly don't want to sleep again. Can you chat with me for a while, okay?"

"good."

Mu Qingji always agreed to Qin Nianqing's requests without any conditions, let alone such a trivial matter, he naturally agreed.

"Brother, I will be taking the college entrance examination in three weeks," Qin Nianqing hugged the quilt, pondered again and again, and finally asked, "Can you come to our college entrance examination oath-taking ceremony on the day of the college entrance examination?"

Mu Qingji placed the towel on the sofa and looked at the ashtray on the coffee table. After a moment of silence, he answered the question irrelevantly and said something that made Qin Nianqing blush and her heart beat faster, "Miss me?"

Qin Nianqing almost threw his phone away because of the three words "Mu Qingji", but fortunately he held back and continued talking to him pretending to be calm, but the panic in his words was still caught by Mu Qingji.

"No, you think too much, brother. I'm very busy and don't have time to think about you. Just tell me whether you will come or not. If you don't come, I will find someone else."

In front of Mu Qingji's eyes, Qin Nianqing seemed to appear, with red ears and cheeks, looking awkward. The corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly, and he said with a smile, "I will try my best to make time to attend your oath-taking ceremony."

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's answer and made a "yeah" sign with joy. However, after being happy, he did not forget to remind him, "My dad will also be there, but he won't call my name in person, so... Brother, you know."

"I understand, little friend," Mu Qingji raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded, and hummed softly, "But you need to tell me the time so that I can arrange it."

"May 24th at 9am, I'll be in Class 14, Senior 3, brother, you must see me then."

Qin Nian listened to Mu Qingji's words, and felt that he should tell the time and where he would be, for fear that the other party would not be able to find him, so he almost shared his location and position.

"Yes, I will." Mu Qingji glanced at the time. It was already past two in the morning. He frowned slightly and his voice unconsciously became more serious. "Guoguo, it's time to go to bed. Staying up late is not good for your health."

"Okay, good night, brother."

Qin Nian was very satisfied after listening to Mu Qingji's words, so he said good night to Mu Qingji very obediently. Mu Qingji nodded and said before hanging up the phone, "I bought something for you. It has arrived. Remember to pick it up at the post office tomorrow. It's written in your name."

"Okay~ Thank you bro~"

Qin Nianqing was even happier at this moment, and he wanted to go to the post office right now to wait, but he held back. Mu Qingji nodded and said softly, "Guoguo, good night."

After they said good night to each other, they hung up the phone. Qin Nianqing casually picked up a big yellow puppy and held it in his arms, extremely happy, "Child, my brother bought me something. I'll bring it back tomorrow and open it for you to see, hehehe..."

The puppy was woken up and cried. Jin Jin nudged Qin Nianqing with his head. Qin Nianqing then put the puppy down apologetically, "Ahaha, Jin Jin, I'm sorry, let's go back to sleep, good night."

"Woof~"

Qin Nianqing rubbed Jin Jin's head, then closed his eyes and soon fell into a sweet dream.
