Gu Lian didn't notice that Nian Nian was asleep. Lu Zechen asked her, and she lowered her head to check.
The little guy pouted his mouth and was sleeping soundly. His two little hands were clenched into fists, one on Gu Lian's shoulder and the other in his arms.
Lu Zechen approached, without mentioning Lu Xiuli and Lu Chiwen, and asked Gu Lian, "Will you take her to the lounge to sleep?"
Gu Lian nodded without looking at him, and carried Nian Nian to the lounge inside.
When she opened the door, there was a faint smell of freshener. Lu Zechen was behind her and turned on the light.
Gu Lian glanced at the furnishings. The style was minimalist. Except for a few large items, there were basically no small things here and there.
Lu Zechen turned on the heater and straightened the quilt on the bed a little.
Gu Lian stood behind him, suddenly feeling a little at a loss, and unconsciously thinking of what happened just now.
Lu Zechen made the bed "virtuously", dimmed the lights, turned around, and motioned for Gu Lian to come over.
Gu Lian held Niannian closer and originally wanted to put the little guy down, but as soon as she let go, the little guy started to hum.
"Don't let her go, just hold her and lie down." Lu Zechen suggested.
Gu Lian patted Nian Nian and said, "I'm not sleepy."
"Just lie down if you're not sleepy, and then come out when she's asleep."
That's fine, otherwise it would be embarrassing for her to stare at him every year when he falls asleep.
Gu Lian sat down by the bed and hugged Nian Nian. It was not easy to take off her shoes.
Lu Zechen noticed her difficulty and squatted down in front of her naturally, reached out to help her untie the shoelaces, followed her feet to take off the shoes, held her ankles and placed them on the carpet.
Gu Lian remained motionless, her feet touched the carpet, but they were unable to move and hung numbly.
After Lu Zechen helped her take off the other one, she quickly stepped back and put her legs on the bed.
She hugged Nian Nian and lay down with her back to him.
Lu Zechen glanced at the side of her face and leaned over.
Gu Lian felt nervous and was about to dodge when the quilt covered him and Lu Zechen didn't get too close.
She swallowed and blinked unnaturally.
"Go to sleep." Lu Zechen straightened up, looked at her profile and said, "Call me if you need anything."
"Um……"
He stood on the edge and didn't leave immediately.
Gu Lian bit her inner lip and forced herself to close her eyes first.
Lu Zechen was originally waiting for her to say a word or two to him, but she just fell asleep like this. He was a little depressed. He was thinking of doing something to tease her when he suddenly glanced at her hand on the pillow and held it tightly.
Yes, the same as every year.
nervous?
His eyes moved and fell on her face, and he could vaguely see her eyelashes trembling.
Tsk.
The corners of his lips twitched down, and the depression dissipated a little.
Gu Lian closed her eyes, feeling that he would not leave and she would remain motionless.
The stalemate lasted for so long that the arm she rested on Nian Nian became sore.
She was counting in her mind, wondering why he didn't leave yet.
Annoying!
Lu Zechen just stared at her, thinking that she would give him a look. After waiting for a long time, Gu Lian took a deep breath, suddenly raised his hand, closed his eyes and pulled up the quilt, covering herself and Nian Nian.
Go in.
Don't want to see it?
He tilted his head and chuckled, licked his thin lips, and took a step back.
Gu Lian heard the footsteps and opened his eyes under the quilt. With a little light, he found that the little guy also opened his eyes.
Then, the door opened and closed again.
She breathed a sigh of relief, wrinkled her nose at the little guy, and lifted the quilt.
