Chapter 58: Peeping at the Night, Night Watchman Jiang Xingyan

After Jiang Xingyan left, two abnormal blushes appeared on Chu Sangning's fair cheeks. She lowered her head and tried hard not to be so nervous.

I wanted to sneak back to my room to calm down, but when Lin Xiuzhi came out to pick vegetables, she saw me and was shocked. "Sang Ning, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever again?"

Chu Sangning waved her hands, her face flushed, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Auntie, I'm fine."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and walked into the house. Lin Xiuzhi didn't notice that her earlobes were turning red.

After dinner, Chu Sangning guessed that everyone had forgotten to ask him to take his medicine, so he tiptoed back to his room to hide. Lin Xiuzhi was very sharp-eyed and immediately waved her hand, "Sangning, it's time to take your medicine later."

"Auntie..." Chu Sangning turned her head away aggrievedly, her little face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and she began to act coquettishly in a long voice.

Lin Xiuzhi couldn't help laughing. She walked forward and raised her hand to touch Chu Sangning's forehead, smiling lovingly: "It's no use crying. Drink for another two days and you'll be fine."

Chu Sangning looked at her always kind and loving Aunt Lin with disdain. She grabbed her hand and said something that broke her heart, "Brother Yan, go to the kitchen and brew the medicine."

Chu Sangning: ...

No, I don’t want to drink it. It’s such a nasty-tasting medicine.

She desperately winked at Jiang Xingyan, who curled his lips, turned around and went to the kitchen to make medicine.

"Auntie, I'll drink it myself later. I can't drink it now." Chu Sangning held Lin Xiuzhi's arm and rubbed his chubby little face against Lin Xiuzhi's shoulder.

"It's no use being coquettish, hurry up."

Led by Lin Xiuzhi, Chu Sangning was forced to drink a bowl of medicine made by Jiang Xingyan himself with a bitter face. The taste of the medicine was strange and weird.

Forced to swallow it, the taste lingered in Chu Sangning's throat for a long time and could not be dissipated.

She patted her chest and just when she couldn't help feeling nauseous, a piece of candy was passed to her mouth. Lin Xiuzhi took it from her son's hand and passed it to Chu Sangning's mouth.

"Wow, Auntie, you are so nice." Chu Sangning rubbed again with emotion.

Jiang Xingyan looked at the two people who were as close as mother and daughter, and he couldn't hide the helplessness in his eyes. She was really his mother. All his hospitality went to her, and he was the bad guy who made the medicine again.

After eating, drinking and chatting for a while, Lin Xiuzhi asked everyone to go to bed quickly and sit in the quilt to keep warm as the weather was cold.

Chu Sangning went to bed early, but he couldn't help drinking too much water at night, so he suddenly woke up in the middle of his sleep and wanted to go to the toilet.

The wind was howling outside. Chu Sangning didn't want to go. The more she didn't want to go, the stronger the wind became. There was really no other way. Chu Sangning squinted her eyes, put on her clothes, and went to the toilet half asleep and half awake.

When she opened the door, the warmth on her body disappeared in an instant as the wind blew. Chu Sangning, who was sleepy, also opened her eyes. She sighed and walked towards the toilet.

Because of the previous incident of all the educated youth peeping, Chu Sangning subconsciously looked at the wall of the toilet. The toilet was in the corner of the yard and merged with the wall of someone else's house.

Just with such an unintentional glance, Chu Sangning was so frightened that her eyes widened and she suddenly screamed.

Jiang Xingyan, who was sleeping in the inner room, heard the scream and woke up instantly. He picked up his military coat and put it on, then rushed out in a panic to protect Chu Sangning first.

"Jiang, Jiang Xingyan, there's someone here, there's someone here." Chu Sangning hid in Jiang Xingyan's arms, half crying, and pointed at the wall next to the toilet with trembling hands.

Jiang Xingyan patted Chu Sangning's shoulder and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. Don't be afraid."

At this moment, Lin Xiuzhi and Jiang's father also came out. Seeing their son half-squatting with Chu Sangning in his arms, Lin Xiuzhi simply couldn't bear to watch.

He slapped his old man and said, "Look at your son."

Lin Xiuzhi had knocked Jiang's father out of his sleepiness, and he grumbled aggrievedly, "When things are good, he is your son, but when things are bad, he is my son."

Lin Xiuzhi didn't care about anything else. "Sang Ning, what's wrong?"

"Auntie, someone is peeping at us." Chu Sangning struggled out of Jiang Xingyan's arms and ran to Lin Xiuzhi's side coquettishly, with red eyes.

"What?" Lin Xiuzhi glared at the wall angrily, quickly moved a stool to the wall and stood there, shouting, "Old man, give me the cane."

Lin Xiuzhi took the cane and swept it randomly on the wall. Because of the darkness, she couldn't see very clearly, but as soon as she used the cane, she knew whether there was anything.

After a burst of shots, Lin Xiuzhi actually figured out what was wrong, so she shot hard in that direction, and sure enough, she heard the man groan.

"You old beast, you dare to sneak into the Jiang family and watch. I will beat you to death."

"You still know how to peek and hold a banquet. Go get your gun and shoot this shameless thing to death."

After Lin Xiuzhi finished speaking, there was a "gulp" sound over there, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

After the peeping person ran away, Jiang Xingyan said helplessly: "Mom, you definitely won't let me bring the gun back."

Lin Xiuzhi nodded and said frankly: "I know, I just want to scare him."

Chu Sangning was frightened. Even if Lin Xiuzhi asked her to go back to sleep, she didn't dare to do it. Jiang Xingyan comforted her and patted her head calmly, "You go to sleep, I'll be guarding your door, there won't be anyone."

Chu Sangning nodded absentmindedly. Even with Jiang Xingyan guarding outside, Chu Sangning still didn't sleep well.

Anyone who saw a pair of obscene eyes staring at him/her in the toilet late at night would be frightened and nauseated. Chu Sangning half-slept and half-awake until the second half of the night.

Early in the morning, before the roosters crowed, Chu Sangning, with dark circles under his eyes, dragged his tired body and opened the door, and found Jiang Xingyan lying at his door.

He lay in a chair with his eyes closed, wrapped in a military coat, curled up. The sound of Chu Sangning's footsteps startled him.

Jiang Xingyan half-closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "Are you awake?"

"Well, go into the room and sleep." Chu Sangning's voice was very gentle.

Jiang Xingyan stood up lazily, yawned lazily, and rubbed his forehead. "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll go check the wall."

Jiang Xingyan was sitting outside all night, feeling uneasy. When he thought of Chu Sangning crying in fear in the middle of the night, he wanted to catch the man and beat him three times a day.

After analyzing the footprints and following the footprints left last night, he found the place where the last footprints disappeared. Seeing the house, Jiang Xingyan took a deep breath and slowly went home.

At the breakfast table, Jiang Xingyan picked up the food and said nothing, "Mom, I won't go to work today. I have something to do."

"Okay." Lin Xiuzhi knew what her son had been doing this morning. Seeing his calm face, she felt even more frightened.

The angrier my son gets, the calmer his face appears. I don’t know who he learned this from.
