It was the first time that Lu Xixin fell in love with a little boy like this. She had always been a person with very low emotions, her heart was very tight, and it was difficult to let go of others. She was not a person who particularly liked children.
Sometimes, when encountering naughty children on the road, they will subconsciously frown and avoid the road to stay away.
But Shen Nianxi seemed to be sitting on her heart, making her feel soft.
I don’t even want to care about what happened to Tian Zhi before.
At the end of the dinner, she received a call from the little boy, inviting her to play at his house tomorrow and see his paintings.
"Okay." Lu Xixin nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but warn: "How can a child go to bed so late? He won't grow up."
Hearing this, Shen Nianxi was very nervous. He was worried that if he didn't grow taller, Sister Xixin would not like him. He immediately nodded hurriedly: "I'm going to bed. Good night, careful sister."
After saying good night, he felt that it was not enough, so he added: "I will grow taller, taller."
"Yeah." Lu Xixin smiled, her heart filled with sour happiness.
Over at the Shen family, the nanny Aunt Wang was surprised to find that the light in the young master's room was out.
Xiao Nianxi has always been a master at staying up late. He rarely goes to bed so early. It’s only 10 o’clock and the lights are turned off? Yesterday, he stayed up until about 12 o’clock in the middle of the night. He didn’t get up until noon the next day. Mr. Shen was so angry that he picked him up and said Want to send him away.
Could he be sick? Aunt Wang was very worried.
She walked quietly to the door of Shen Nianxi's room, pushed the door gently, and called softly: "Nianxi, Nianxi, are you asleep?"
Shen Nianxi was tossing about and feeling sleepy. He couldn't sleep in the first place, but Aunt Wang came to disturb him. He immediately became unhappy and lost his temper: "Who asked you to come in? Get out!"
Aunt Wang was very sorry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, is Nian Xi uncomfortable?"
Children tend to lose control of their tempers. Shen Nianxi is only four years old and cannot control his emotions very well, but he is well-educated and quickly realizes his mistakes.
His attitude is so bad, how can he be angry with Aunt Wang? Aunt Wang is so kind to him.
Because I still have worries in my heart, I am worried that I will not grow taller, but I can't sleep, and now I am angry with Aunt Wang again.
A four-and-a-half-year-old boy cannot handle such complex emotions.
The little boy collapsed all of a sudden, buried his head in the pillow and started crying.
This cry frightened Aunt Wang.
"Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Aunt Wang asked another nanny to quickly find Mr. Shen, while she went to Shen Nianxi and reached out to touch his forehead.
No fever, just a little sweat.
Aunt Wang pulled the quilt down and coaxed him softly: "Why are Nianxi crying? Who bullied you?"
When Shen Jiayao came over, Shen Nianxi had been crying for a long time. His eyes, nose and face were all red, his neck was damp, and the air in the room was stuffy.
He motioned to Aunt Wang to turn on the air conditioner.
Aunt Wang didn't move and reminded in a low voice: "Nian Xi will catch a cold."
Shen Jiayao frowned and did not continue to ask to turn on the air conditioner. He just raised his hand and took Shen Nianxi out of the quilt.
Shen Jiayao has always been impatient, and the same goes for his son. He couldn't coax her as slowly as Aunt Wang, so he asked directly: "Why are you crying?"
Shen Nianxi tilted his head and ignored people.
Like a proud little steamed bun.
"If you don't tell me, don't sleep. Just sit here and cry." Shen Jiayao spent a long time searching in the subway today. His heart was filled with irritation and he had no time to pay attention to Shen Nianxi, so he spoke in a fierce tone.
Shen Nianxi was not afraid of him, but when his father told him not to let him sleep, he immediately became nervous.
He wiped away his tears: "I can't sleep." The little boy's voice was soft, with a hint of crying.
Hearing this, Shen Jiayao snorted, laughed, and raised his hand to touch his son's head.
If you order a big or small person, you will actually suffer from insomnia.
He lowered his voice and said, "If you can't sleep, don't sleep. Go to the living room and watch TV."
The time Shen Nianxi watches TV is strictly controlled. He can only watch two hours a day and cannot exceed the time limit. He has already used up his time today. Shen Jiayao asked him to watch TV, which is extra time.
If it were normal, he would definitely be extremely happy.
But today, Shen Nianxi did not move. He just raised his head, looked at Shen Jiayao with a pair of wet eyes, and stubbornly emphasized: "I want to sleep."
Seeing these eyes that were very similar to someone else's, Shen Jiayao's heart softened.
He motioned for Aunt Wang to go out, and then he hugged Shen Nianxi and lay on the bed. His tone was rare and gentle: "Dad, sleep with you."
Shen Nianxi has slept alone since he was a child. He has never slept in the same bed as his father.
Children are like this. Even if they are usually dissatisfied with their father, as soon as their father becomes gentle, they will become soft and clingy.
He leaned in Shen Jiayao's arms and told his father what was on his mind: "I will invite a friend to play at home tomorrow."
"Friend?" Shen Jiayao thought it was his classmate in kindergarten, so he asked, "Want to go back to the old house? There is a playground over there."
The old lady loved her little grandson so much that she specially built an amusement park at home.
"I won't go back to my old house." Shen Nianxi, a very kind-hearted adult, said, "Sister Xixin is an adult now and doesn't like amusement parks."
"What did you say? What sister?" Shen Jiayao stood up suddenly, staring at Shen Nianxi with his piercing eyes.
Shen Nianxi was a little frightened and shrank her shoulders: "Sister Xixin."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Jiayao suddenly remembered what his son had said to him enthusiastically when he first came back: "Dad, I really like the sister of the Lu family, would you like her to be my mother?" After that, he kept mumbling something. .
At that time, he was so immersed in his loss that he didn't listen carefully at all, and he didn't realize it until now.
Shen Jiayao felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
His lips trembled twice before he could speak normally. He asked Shen Nianxi: "The sister Xixin you are talking about is called Lu Xixin?!"
Shen Nianxi didn't know what his father was excited about. He had calmed down by now, sat up, and tilted his head to look at his father in a very dignified manner.
Although he was still wearing pajamas and his hair was a little messy, he had a dignified air about him, like the little prince in ancient times.
He nodded to his father, indicating that this was the name. At the same time, he was still a little confused. With his beautiful and cute phoenix eyes, he kept looking at Shen Jiayao, and his tone was serious and alert: "Do you know Sister Xixin?"
This little boy, only four years old, is frighteningly smart.
Although he is only a small child and does not understand many things, he can make quick judgments on the things he does understand.
Shen Jiayao was in a very confused mood now and had no time to pay attention to his son. He directly put him down, covered him with a quilt, and said: "Sleep well." Then he got up and left.
Back in the study, Shen Jiayao walked to the window and smoked a cigarette.
He didn't smoke often, but he used to be a heavy smoker, but later because someone said he didn't like the smell of grass and found it choking, he quit smoking. It wasn't until the person disappeared that he continued to smoke.
In the first few years, I was very addicted to cigarettes. I smoked so hard that I could smoke a pack a day.
But in recent years, I have slowly smoked less. On the one hand, it is because of Shen Nianxi and the smell of cigarettes is not good for children; on the other hand, it is because of that girl.
He was afraid that when she came back, she would dislike him and the smell of grass on his body.
Shen Jiayao didn't know what he thought of, but he felt the corners of his eyes burning. He blinked, put away the moisture in his eyes, walked to the computer, and began to search for information about this pearl of the Lu family that had been lost for 18 years.
But as soon as he typed the words Lu Xixin, there was a photo on the search page, and the familiar figure in the photo made the corners of his eyes feel hot again.
