After experiencing a moment of silence and depression in the room, Su Hongxi turned his head and glanced at Su Mu and Su Xiaoli, and said in a sad voice: "You two little ones, go and rest first. I'll call the other uncles...
...Xiao Nian, please stay vigil tonight..."
"Okay." Su Daonian responded, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, turned to Chen Sha and said: "You take the children to rest first. It's getting late. Let's talk about other things tomorrow."
"Well..." Chen Sha nodded, responded in a low voice, shook his hand, and gave him some silent support. Then she called Su Mu and Su Xiaoli to follow her towards the guest room upstairs.
go.
After settling the two of them, Su Mu's mother was worried about Su Daonian, so she went downstairs to accompany him.
The whole old house was quiet, except for the crickets outside that were still chirping.
Su Mu was lying on the soft big bed in the guest room, but felt that he couldn't sleep.
In the dark room, there was suddenly a crisp knock on the door of his room.
Su Mu was startled for a moment, then reached out and turned on the lamp on the bedside table, then put on his slippers, walked to the door of the room, and asked in a low voice: "Who is it??"
"Brother, it's me..." Su Xiaoli's low voice came from outside the door. Su Mu hesitated and reached out to open the door.
"elder brother……"
Su Xiaoli hugged the pillow in her room and stood outside his door, raising her fair and pink face and looking at him eagerly.
"What's wrong? Are you still asleep?" Su Mu looked at her, forced a smile towards her, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Su Xiaoli nodded, stared down at his toes for a while, and then whispered: "I...I want to sleep with you."
"Ah??" Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Su Xiaoli was already holding his own pillow and walked straight into his room.
The guest rooms upstairs are all decorated the same, and Su Mu's room is not much different from the room where Su Xiaoli slept.
Su Xiaoli walked directly to the big bed in the middle of the room, put down the pillow in his arms, then lifted up the quilt and got in.
Su Mu stood by the door, stared at her for a while, then looked at the corridor outside the door, hesitated, and closed the door.
He walked back to the center of the room, lay down on the other side of the bed, reached out and touched Su Xiaoli's furry head, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to sleep with me?"
Su Xiaoli was lying on the pillow, staring at him with a pair of big black and white eyes for a while, then turned over, hugged his arms with both hands, and whispered: "It's so dark in the room, I'm a little scared..."
"..."
After Su Mu heard her words, he couldn't help but smile with his lips. He sighed lowly, looked up at the ceiling, and said in a gentle voice: "I remember... your first day
He told me the same thing the night he came home."
"Really??" Su Xiaoli was slightly startled, an embarrassed look flashed across her pink cheeks and said, "I don't remember..."
"Yes." Su Mu nodded, glanced at her again, then reached out to turn off the lamp on the bedside table, lay down, and said in a calm voice: "Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye..."
