While the couple chatted, a cigarette slowly burned out.
Wen Jianguo still didn't want to go to bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.
It was getting late, and Li Hongmei was getting tired. She stopped paying attention to Wen Jianguo and went to sleep.
The room was a bit stuffy, so Wen Jianguo took a cigarette to the balcony and smoked it. Before he knew it, he had smoked two more. As if he had made up his mind, Wen Jianguo turned around and went upstairs to Shen Jingshao's room. He knocked lightly on the door.
Shen Jingshao was still awake at this hour when he heard a soft knock on the door.
He initially thought he had misheard, but after listening quietly for a while, he realized that someone was indeed knocking on his door.
Shen Jingshao opened the bedroom door and was genuinely surprised to see Wen Jianguo outside: "Uncle."
Wen Jianguo laughed: "I'm not asleep yet. I didn't dare to knock loudly, afraid of disturbing your rest."
Shen Jingshao politely replied, "No, I was just about to go to sleep."
Wen Jianguo: "Okay, perfect timing. Do you have time now?"

Fang Jingyao held the baby in both hands, and Wen Yixing placed her hand on his little palm, smiling and saying, "It's okay, Mom is much better now."
Looking around, Wen Yixing didn't see Wen Jianguo and asked, "Where's your grandfather? Did he go out?"
It's still early. Wen Jianguo usually goes out after having breakfast.
Fang Jingyao: No, Grandma said Grandpa didn't get enough rest last night and is catching up on sleep now.
There are many trees here, and in the summer there are many small insects in the room. Although the house has been renovated well, it is still impossible to keep out all kinds of small insects from crawling in.
