Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Sleep, I’ll watch over you Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Sleep, I’ll watch over you Back home, Sheng Chuyi carried the little one to his room, tucked him in, and after turning off the lights and closing the door, he said to Shen Zhaozhao, “You should rest early too.”
Just as he was about to turn around, Shen Zhaozhao grabbed his sleeve.
Shen Zhaozhao swallowed and said hesitantly, “Well, I’m scared, could you stay with me a little longer?”
After saying this and meeting his gaze, Shen Zhaozhao’s cheeks flushed with heat, and she hastily added, “Don’t get the wrong idea, I just watched a horror movie and got a bit scared. Can you wait until I fall asleep before you leave?”
Sheng Chuyi took her hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll walk you to your room.”
After taking a bath, Shen Zhaozhao lay in bed and couldn’t fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.
“Nothing, just calling you!”
Turning to the other:
“Maybe we should leave the light on!”
Sheng Chuyi watched her flipping over and over like a fish in a frying pan. He couldn’t help but get up, walked over to the bed, took her hand, and bent down to kiss her forehead, saying, “Sleep, I’ll watch over you!”
“Mm!” Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but curving her lips into a smile and finally closed her eyes obediently.
Soon, even breathing came from the bed, and Sheng Chuyi watched her sleeping face for a while, tucked her in, dimmed the bedside lamp, and then returned to his room.
Waking up in the morning, Shen Zhaozhao had dark circles under her eyes and kept yawning, clearly having had a bad night’s sleep. It turned out that she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and then stayed awake until dawn.
The little one, however, was refreshed and energetic.
Shen Zhaozhao finally understood the meaning of “sinning by daylight is forgivable, but bringing it upon oneself is not.”
After breakfast, Sheng Chuyi looked at her and said, “Ali suggested that he wants to go to the planetarium, do you want to come with us later?”
“You guys go,” Shen Zhaozhao said without much interest. She didn’t want to go anywhere today but wanted to stay home and catch up on sleep.
“What would you like for lunch then? We could bring something back for you.”
“No need, I’ll just order some takeout at noon. You have fun with Ali,” Shen Zhaozhao said, then drifted back to her room like a ghost.
Sheng Chuyi was somewhat worried about her but had already made a promise to the little one and couldn’t go back on his word.
Before leaving, he went to check on Shen Zhaozhao and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?”
At the moment, Shen Zhaozhao was curled up with her blanket in bed. Hearing Sheng Chuyi’s voice, she couldn’t even be bothered to open her eyes and hummed, “So sleepy, I just want to sleep now.”
Seeing her like that, Sheng Chuyi knew she was truly not planning to go out. “Then rest well, we’ll come back after the exhibit.”
“Mm-hmm!” Shen Zhaozhao mumbled in response, already on the verge of falling asleep.
Sheng Chuyi thought about how excited she had been last night to watch a horror movie.
And then looking at her now.
He wondered what she was really after.
Shen Zhaozhao slept till midday before waking up, primarily due to hunger; otherwise, she felt she could have slept some more.
After getting up from bed, she went to the kitchen to check. There were vegetables in the fridge, but unfortunately, she didn’t know how to cook, so Shen Zhaozhao thought about just boiling some noodles for herself.
It should have been simple, but somehow, she managed to cook the noodles into a mess that even a dog wouldn’t eat.
Shen Zhaozhao stared at the noodles in the pot for three seconds, then silently picked up her phone, deciding to order some takeout for herself instead.
Just as she was about to place the order, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Sheng Chuyi entered with the little one from outside.
