Go to Qingqiu together

Shen Xubai was afraid that he would not be able to hear what Niannian was going to say next, so he leaned over and leaned over: "Huh? What do you want to say?"

"Father, can you sleep with me?" Nian Nian whispered.

Shen Xubai couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words.

He glanced at Xu Qingjian who was sleeping soundly buried under the quilt, hesitated for a moment, and didn't immediately answer Nian Nian's words.

Seeing that Shen Xubai kept silent, Niannian thought he was unwilling, so she let go of his hand and said sensiblely: "No, if you can't...it's okay..."

"It's okay, I'll accompany you." Shen Xubai smiled and replied.

Nian Nian froze for a moment, then looked up at Shen Xubai.

Soon Shen Xubai took off his outer robe and sat down on the side of the bed. He glanced at the sleeping position of Xu Qingjian, which was relatively inside. He was worried that Niannian would fall out of bed in the middle of the night, so he put him in Xu Qingjian's bed. Niannian can't take up much space inside Qingjian, so it won't feel crowded inside.

But since Shen Xubai stayed to accompany Niannian, he naturally wants to stay with Niannian.

Anyway, he didn't want to sleep with Xu Qingjian.

"Nian Nian, you come to the middle and sleep with me." Shen Xubai said to Nian Nian aloud.

Niannian nodded, and quickly stood up to go to Shen Xubai's side, but she was afraid of stepping on Xu Qingjian's body, so she didn't dare to move for a while.

"Come, father hugs you." Shen Xubai stretched out his arms to Niannian.

Nian Nian hurriedly opened her arms obediently, and let Shen Xubai hold her armpit and hug him out.

Shen Xubai sat on the bed, put his arms around Niannian's body, and at the same time turned his head to look at Xu Qingjian, still feeling that he was too close to him.

So Shen Xubai simply stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Qingjian, and said unhappily: "Sleep in!"

In the past, Shen Xubai's sleeping appearance was very bad. He always occupied a large position alone, leaving him no place to sleep. He would just push Xu Qingjian in like this. Although Xu Qingjian was asleep, he would still be in the bed In a daze, I moved my position to him.

Sure enough, following his movements, Xu Qingjian huddled under the blanket for a while, and then moved a lot inside.

"Go to sleep." Only then did Shen Xubai stuff Niannian into the quilt next to him.

Niannian lay down obediently, then turned sideways, and clung to Shen Xubai's side.

"Is it cold?" Shen Xubai stretched out his hand to hug Niannian into his arms, and asked him aloud.

Nian Nian shook her head.

Shen Xubai reached out and touched Niannian's head, then hugged him a little tighter.

After a while, he felt that Nian Nian's body was warm, maybe a child's body temperature is relatively hot, Shen Xubai held him in his arms like a small stove, and he didn't feel cold at all.

For the past three years, he has been sleeping alone. Every winter, his quilt is always cold, no matter how hard he covers it, he can't get warm. This is the first time he has such an experience.

When he slept with Xu Qingjian before, Xu Qingjian's body was also very warm, but Nian Niannuan was not.

After lying down for a while, Shen Xubai found that Niannian hadn't fallen asleep yet, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that children should fall asleep easily, even Xu Qingjian fell asleep so heartlessly all at once.

"Why don't you sleep? Are you not sleepy?" Shen Xubai asked in a low voice.

Hearing Shen Xubai's voice, Niannian quickly raised her head to look at him, her dark eyes appeared more clear and translucent in the dark night.

"I... It's the first time I slept with someone other than Daddy." Nian Nian replied, "I can't sleep anymore..."

Shen Xubai looked at Niannian, smiled softly, and said: "Then what did you do when you couldn't sleep before?"

"In the past, Dad would tell me stories, and I would fall asleep after listening to the stories." Nian Nian replied without thinking.

"Tell a story?" Shen Xubai froze for a moment.

This really stumped him, he couldn't tell a story.

Nian Nian nodded quickly.

"What kind of story will he tell you?" Shen Xubai asked again.

In Shen Xubai's impression, the stories should all be read from some books, but Xu Qingjian has never read a book and doesn't know many words, so how did he tell stories to Nian Nian.

"I can tell the story of Xiaohua and Dabai."

"Who is Xiaohua?" Shen Xubai raised his eyebrows, suddenly interested.

"It's a cat, very pretty." Nian Nian was also a little excited.

Shen Xubai laughed, and asked again: "What about Dabai?"

"It's the little white rabbit!" Nian Nian's voice became louder unconsciously.

Shen Xubai took a look at Xu Qingjian inside, then made a silent gesture to Niannian, lowered his voice and said: "Shh...let's keep our voice down so we don't wake up Daddy, okay?"

Nian Nian also realized that her voice was getting louder, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, then looked at Shen Xubai and nodded.

"Then father will also tell you the story of Xiaohua and Dabai, how about it?" Shen Xubai asked Niannian aloud.

Niannian immediately nodded vigorously, he likes to listen to the stories of Xiaohua and Dabai the most.

So Shen Xubai thought for a while, then according to the style that Xu Qingjian might tell, he casually made up a story about Xiaohua and Dabai for him to read.

Only halfway through the talk, Nian Nian had already fallen into a deep sleep, Shen Xubai stopped and looked at Nian Nian tenderly.

When Niannian was sleeping, her body was curled up, a small ball, very cute.

At this moment, Xu Qingjian, who had been sleeping in one motion for a long time, suddenly turned over, uttered a long series of indistinct sounds, and kicked off the quilt covering his body.

Shen Xubai glanced at him and frowned.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Xubai finally sighed helplessly, got up and covered Xu Qingjian with the quilt.

"Don't..." Xu Qingjian suddenly started talking in his sleep.

Shen Xubai raised his eyes to look at his face, and saw that he was frowning tightly, looking very painful, as if he had a nightmare.

"Don't...don't do this..." Xu Qingjian tightly grasped the quilt with both hands, as if grasping the last straw.

Shen Xubai looked at Xu Qingjian for a while, but he couldn't figure out what he was dreaming about, and he didn't plan to bother him anymore, after all Xu Qingjian had a nightmare and he couldn't help him, he would be fine when he woke up the next day .

At this moment, Xu Qingjian suddenly called out Shen Xubai's name: "Abai..."

Shen Xubai's movements suddenly stopped.

"Help me...help me..." Xu Qingjian's face was pale in the nightmare, as if he was in extreme pain.

From the moment Xu Qingjian called out to him in his dream, Shen Xubai's expression changed.

Xu Qingjian was begging him for help.

"Help me..." Xu Qingjian's hands started to scratch around, wanting to hold something, but also seemed to want to escape from something.

Without hesitation, Shen Xubai reached out and grabbed Xu Qingjian's hand.

"What's the matter, Qing Jian." Shen Xubai asked in a deep voice.

"Don't..." Xu Qingjian began to repeat these two words again and again.

Shen Xubai leaned over to hug Xu Qingjian, and comforted him in his ear: "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

But Xu Qingjian's breathing was still very short, and the situation did not improve.

So Shen Xubai hugged him like this, constantly comforting him, and constantly saying that I am here, don't be afraid.

Under Shen Xubai's reassurance, Xu Qingjian's mood gradually stabilized, and his frowning brows slowly relaxed.

Shen Xubai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Xu Qingjian's breathing soon became rapid again: "Your Majesty..."

"What?" Shen Xubai froze for a moment.

It was good that Xu Qingjian was loyal to the prince in the past, but the prince never brought Xu Qingjian with him when he entered the palace. Logically speaking, Xu Qingjian should have never met the emperor, but he actually dreamed of the emperor.

Why did Xu Qingjian ask the emperor for help when he dreamed of the emperor? Could it be that there was something he didn't know back then?

Shen Xubai's face was extremely ugly, he had to figure it out.

"Qingjian...Qingjian..." Shen Xubai put his arms around Xu Qingjian, shaking his body gently.

After shaking for a while, Xu Qingjian woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Xubai with a sleepy face.

He was still in a not sober state, he squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Xubai for a long time before recognizing him, and then said hoarsely: "Abai..."

"Tell me, what did you dream about just now?" Shen Xubai asked in a deep voice.

He also didn't want to wake up Xu Qingjian at this time, but only under such circumstances can Xu Qingjian remember the dream just now. If he waited until tomorrow morning, Xu Qingjian might have forgotten it all.

Xu Qingjian looked at Shen Xubai blankly, then said in a hoarse voice: "I'm so sleepy, Abai, don't bother me...let me sleep."

His tone was full of coquetry, just like three years ago, Shen Xubai couldn't help being taken aback.

"I'm sleeping." Xu Qingjian said to Shen Xubai again.

After speaking, Xu Qingjian fell asleep.

Shen Xubai lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qingjian in his arms, but in the end he didn't wake him up, and only slowly withdrew his arm.

After a while, Shen Xubai covered Xu Qingjian with the quilt again, and lay down again.

It's just that he doesn't feel sleepy at all now.

As soon as he woke up, he couldn't help but start thinking wildly, thinking about all kinds of past things, especially about him and Xu Qingjian.

At that time, he didn't even know what Xu Qingjian's identity was. He only knew that Xia Yun used him a lot, until the queen mother sent him to arrest a recently very aggressive killer.

The killer's methods were extremely ruthless, and the court spent a lot of time trying to catch him, but the killers were all very important officials, or people who were valued by the Queen Mother.

Based on his recent target, Shen Xubai deduced that he was not finished yet, and the next target was an important minister of the Imperial Academy, so Shen Xubai squatted in advance.

But Shen Xubai didn't catch him that night, but let him run away. The courtier of the Imperial Academy still couldn't escape and lost his life, but because of Shen Xubai's presence, that person didn't fall as usual The knife was extremely ruthless, but he ran away in a hurry, Shen Xubai guessed that the man himself was probably not sure whether the assassination was successful or not.

So Shen Xubai released the news that the official was not dead, and then continued to squat, and sure enough, the killer was fooled.
