Chapter 38 Sleeping with My Brother
night.
After listening to her fourth brother read her a bedtime story, Mao Mao fell asleep leaning against her fourth brother before she even had a chance to go back to find her mother.
Feeling the sudden weight on her arm, Lou Yansui turned her head to look, closed the storybook, and looked at her younger sister's sleeping face with great interest.
Mao Mao is especially well-behaved when she sleeps. Her thick eyelashes cast a small fan-like shadow, and her cheeks are round and chubby. If you gently poke them, they will leave a dimpled indentation, just like sinking into a lump of cream.
Lou Yansui smiled at the soft touch coming from her fingertips.
The door creaked open from the outside.
The first wife leaned closer: "Ah Sui, Mao Mao is here..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the little girl sleeping against Lou Yansui. A smile flashed in the First Madam's eyes: "Why is she sleeping here?"
She tiptoed in, bent down and picked up Mao Mao. In her sleep, Mao Mao made a few babbling sounds and skillfully found a comfortable position in the adult's arms.
The first wife said, "I'll take Mao Mao back to sleep."
Lou Yansui: "Mm."
First wife: "Ah Sui, you should go to sleep early too."
Lou Yansui thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, can Mao Mao sleep with me?"
"Sleep with you?" The first wife was stunned.
She was about to walk out with the little girl in her arms when she heard her son's question. She stopped and turned around, meeting her son's earnest gaze. The boy's expectation was undisguised, and the scales in the first wife's heart swayed only for a moment before tilting unhesitatingly towards her son.
She immediately put Mao Mao back in its place: "I'll go talk to Mao Mao's mother."
"Thank you, Mom." Lou Yansui assured, "I'm a good sleeping posture, I won't roll over on her."
The first wife smiled, closed the door, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
His legs were immobile, and he couldn't even turn over, so of course he slept in a very good position.
Lou Yansui also lay down.
This was the first time he had ever slept with someone since he could remember. As soon as he lay down, the little dumpling, still half asleep, instinctively snuggled up to him and nestled into his arms.
Mao Mao's body was warm, and the heat kept coming from her.
Lou Yansui held his younger sister in his arms, his breath filled with her sweet, milky scent. It felt strange, like holding a doll, but he never played with dolls.
Oh, right, dolls.
He turned around and searched around again, finding the little horse doll by the bedside. He reached out and tried to reach it. He held his sister in one arm and the doll in the other, looking at his sister with affection until his eyes were sore. Then he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I had a good night's sleep that I hadn't had in a long time.
The next day, Mao Mao woke up as usual.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her fourth brother's face.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and the boy's smile was warm and bright: "Mao Mao, you're awake."
"elder brother?"
Mao Mao rubbed her eyes and sat up, her head still foggy. She looked around blankly, feeling that everything in front of her was both familiar and strange, different from what she usually saw when she woke up, but it seemed like she had been there before.
She stared blankly for a while before finally remembering.
This is my fourth brother's room!
"Brother, how did I get here?"
Lou Yansui said gently, "We slept together last night."
"hold head high?"
Lou Yansui extended her hand.
He has a very good sleeping posture, but unfortunately, Mao Mao's sleeping posture is not so good.
There were still drool stains left by Mao Mao while she was asleep on the sleeves of his pajamas; the cotton pajamas had a large stain on them.
His pajamas were all wrinkled, probably from when Mao Mao was sleeping.
However, sleeping with his sister for the first time was not only a novel experience, but he also slept exceptionally well, having many dreams. He couldn't remember the details when he woke up, but the relaxed and pleasant emotions from the dreams lingered. All the nightmares were gone, and he hadn't slept so well in a long time.
I slept with it once, and now I want to sleep with it again.
I wish I could sleep with my sweet-smelling little sister every day!
Unfortunately, even if Lou Yansui wanted to, his other brothers disagreed.
When she went downstairs for breakfast, as soon as she saw other people, Mao Mao couldn't wait to tell them about sleeping with her fourth brother.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never slept with anyone other than her mother!
"What? This isn't fair!" Lou Hongjian shouted. "Why do you only sleep with Asui? Why didn't I think of that before? I want to sleep with Mao Mao too!"
Lou Fengju glanced at him: "You? We used to stay at a hotel together, and you almost kicked me to the ground. You sleep so badly, Mao Mao can't sleep with you. She can't take a kick from you."
Lou Hongjian retorted, "Brother, don't talk about me. We shared a blanket, and we only had a little fight in our sleep. You jumped up thinking there was an enemy attack and almost shot me! You even put your gun under your pillow when you sleep, which is why Mao Mao doesn't dare to sleep with you. It's too dangerous!"
Lou Fengju categorically denied it: "You are you, and Mao Mao is Mao Mao. They are not the same."
"I'm still your younger brother!"
"Mao Mao is my sister, but you're not."
Lou Hongjian was furious, his fork almost smashing the fried egg on his plate.
Mao Mao sat obediently in her seat, concentrating on her struggle with the bacon on her plate, completely unaware that a war without gunpowder was taking place right beside her.
Lou Heming adjusted his glasses and joined the fray with a smile: "Perfect timing, there are no dangerous items under my pillow, and I'm a good sleeper, so why don't you let Mao Mao sleep with me tonight?"
Lou Yansui: "Mao Mao drools when she sleeps. Second brother, you have OCD, so let's just forget about it."
Lou Heming said without changing his expression, "I work in a hospital, and my white coat is often stained with patients' blood and pus. This is nothing. Besides, Mao Mao is very clean."
Lou Yansui: "..."
Lou Hongjian put the bacon from his plate onto Mao Mao's plate, and after bribing her, he asked with a smile, "Mao Mao, you choose, who do you want to sleep with?"
"hold head high?"
Mao Mao's cheeks were chubby from eating, and she looked up at them blankly, not understanding what was happening.
Before the selection was even made, a sweet, cloying "Meow~~~" suddenly came from the side.
Mao Mao looked down and saw that the big white cat had appeared next to her seat at some point.
"Kitty!" she greeted happily.
The big white cat stood up, its two fluffy front paws pawing at her chair, and its heterochromatic eyes looked over with a watery gaze: "Meow~~~"
"Kitty, are you hungry?"
Meow~
"I'll take you out to eat!"
Meow~
The old lady of the Lou family takes meticulous care of her cats, even making their food fresh every day.
The four older brothers only saw the big white cat arrive before Mao Mao completely forgot about them, happily leading the cat to the kitchen to find food. A moment later, the two little bundles of joy disappeared behind the door.
They exchanged a glance, then looked away helplessly.
As soon as the cat arrives, Mao Mao can no longer see them.
In this round, it was Old Madam Lou's cat that won!
