Zu Qi was really tired. He returned to the banquet hall and stayed for a while before going back to the bedroom to take a shower and sleep.
At night, Zu Qi was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly felt some movement coming from his side. He turned sideways to the bedroom door and subconsciously wanted to turn over to take a look, but a hand gently held him down.
“It’s okay.” Xue Jue’s voice rang in his ears, “Go to sleep.”
Hearing this, Zu Qi’s sleepiness disappeared for the most part. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to take Xue Jue’s hand, and then turned over until his body faced Xue Jue.
The room was dark, with only a bit of hazy moonlight coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows with half-closed curtains.
In this faint light that was almost invisible, Zu Qi could only see Xue Jue’s shadowy figure and the rustling sound of going to bed. After a while, he lay down next to Zu Qi.
In fact, after Zu Qi took a shower, he drank the hangover tea specially sent by Xiaoya. Now his head was very clear. He thought of what they had not done in the bathroom before, and his heart palpitated, so he pulled Xue Jue’s hand. He didn’t want to let go of his hand.
“Xue Jue.” Zu Qi shouted hoarsely.
Xue Jue lay down next to Zu Qi and stopped moving. He hummed in response to Zu Qi’s words.
Zu Qi felt the heat that was constantly coming from Xue Jue’s palm. He licked his lips subconsciously and looked for a topic intently: “Is it over?”
“Well, it’s over.” Xue Jue let Zu Qi hold his hand. His voice, full of magnetism sounded particularly pleasant in the quiet air as he said, “Butler Zhang is still helping to see off the guests, so I came up first.”
In order not to disturb Zu Qi who was already sleeping, Xue Jue went to the guest room to take a shower. When he came over, he didn’t expect Zu Qi not to be asleep yet.
It was just that Zu Qi was too well-behaved tonight while he was used to the way the other party looked for trouble and made trouble without reason. At this time, Xue Jue was actually a little uncomfortable with it.
“Oh…” Zu Qi responded absently. He was bored and scratched Xue Jue’s palm with his index finger. Unfortunately, the man lying next to him didn’t seem to be ticklish and was completely indifferent.
After Zu Qi calmed down, Xue Jue honestly shut his mouth, showing no intention of speaking actively.
After thinking about it, Zu Qi felt that maybe he should take the initiative. After all, he was the one who fell in love with Xue Jue first, so he should put more effort into this relationship. If Xue Jue couldn’t accept his love…
Judging from Xue Jue’s character, he should reject it directly, right?
Zu Qi thought about a lot of things and felt uneasy.
Although he had been in love several times, in the final analysis, he did not have very rich emotional experience. Moreover, those few relationships were all initiated by the other party, while he was like a slow frog, it took him a long time to jump once, and the reason one person broke up with him was that he was too cold.
It was true that Zu Qi had never really liked anyone before, but now he finally liked someone, but it ended up being Xue Jue who he should have kept a distance from…
Sigh…
Zu Qi sighed deeply in his heart. He felt that he needed to have a good sleep. He wasn’t so worried about gains and losses, but he still couldn’t help but say, “Where’s your dad? He didn’t do anything, right?”
“No.” Xue Jue recalled Xue Yanjing’s expression and reaction after seeing Weng Yuxiang, and his voice gradually became colder, “He went back with Sun Fei. It would be a joke to stay.”
“Where is your mother?” Zu Qi continued to ask.
“She went back to her room a long time ago.” Xue Jue didn’t know where Zu Qi’s words came from. He thought it was his move on the bed that woke him up, so he took his hand out of Zu Qi’s arms and placed it on him through the quilt. Then patting him twice, he said softly in a coaxing tone, “It’s getting late, go to bed.”
Zu Qi, who was still trying to search for topics in his mind, said: “…”
Zu Qi squeezed his empty hand. He felt angry and funny all of a sudden. He grabbed Xue Jue’s hand on his body and dragged Xue Jue towards him.
“I…”
As soon as Zu Qi started to speak, he was interrupted by a deafening cry.
“…” Zu Qi’s eyes widened in surprise. He suddenly realized something at this moment, got up and turned on the night light on the bedside table.
Warm yellow light instantly filled the originally dark bedroom. Zu Qi turned his head and clearly saw Xue Wanwan lying between him and Xue Jue.
No wonder Zu Qi seemed to have accidentally pressed on something when he was close to Xue Jue just now…
Xue Wanwan was lying on his back on the bed, waving his chubby little hands, crying so hard that his face was red, and the tears were overflowing one after another from his squinting eyes.
Zu Qi was still a little angry when thinking Xue Jue brought Xue Wanwan over. But seeing this situation, all his anger disappeared instantly. He hurried forward to pick up the little guy to comfort him, but Xue Jue took Xue Wanwan into his arms first.
Xue Jue got out of bed and hugged Xue Wanwan, pacing back and forth in the bedroom. It took a long time to coax the little guy to sleep.
During the whole process, Zu Qi rubbed his arms and watched helplessly from the side with an awkward expression.
“Sorry.” Zu Qi blamed himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his impatient behavior was too pretentious, and he even made a joke in front of Xue Jue.
After Xue Jue finished coaxing the child, he realized that Zu Qi was still standing opposite the bed. So, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “What are you apologizing for?”
Zu Qi’s head hung down slightly and he pinched the corner of his clothes uncomfortably, as helpless as a child who had done something wrong, his voice was as low as a mosquito: “I didn’t know Wan Wan was there…”
“It’s okay, I should have told you, it was my fault.” Xue Jue only thought that Zu Qi was feeling bad for suppressing Xue Wanwan. So, he also apologized and sighed helplessly, “Wan Wan is also your child, so you don’t have to apologize to me.”
Zu Qi pursed his lips and said nothing.
“Go to bed, don’t catch a cold.” Xue Jue urged.
Zu Qi said oh, and then he climbed onto the bed obediently on his hands and feet. Not long after he lay down, Xue Jue hugged Xue Wanwan, who was asleep again, and got into the bed. The little guy was placed between the two of them.
Zu Qi turned sideways, reached out and touched Xue Wanwan’s soft belly through a layer of fabric, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Xue Jue seemed to hear his sigh and chuckled: “Since you left, Wan Wan has started to recognize people again. He often made trouble at my mother’s place at night, so I had to bring him here to sleep.”
“What a naughty boy.” Zu Qi could imagine how Xue Wanwan must have been tormenting people. This kid was like a demon king when he got into trouble.
Speaking of Xue Wanwan, Xue Jue seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, chattering about the little guy’s current situation. It wasn’t until Zu Qi yawned that he ended the topic and said, “Go to sleep, good night.”
“Good night.” Zu Qi was really sleepy. Not long after he closed his eyes, his thoughts gradually became blurred.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear Xue Jue talking again.
“What on earth are you thinking, Zu Qi…?”
It took Zu Qi some effort to figure out what Xue Jue was talking about. He was confused but still replied inarticulately: “Well… whatever you think…”
“Then do you like me?” Xue Jue asked.
Zu Qi said he liked it almost reflexively, but in this flash of lightning, with the little brain capacity he had left, he realized that Xue Jue seemed to know what he was going to do just now, and was just pretending not to know…
Putting Xue Wanwan in the middle was to prevent him from touching him…
Thinking of these, a nameless anger suddenly rushed up from Zu Qi’s heart. He said in a rough voice: “I don’t like it… I hate it. Die…you are really annoying…”
Xue Jue: “…”
After finishing speaking, Zu Qi fell asleep, and he didn’t know if Xue Jue said anything else later.
