Seeing this, Nian Suian quickly went in and told Gu Zhijing, "You go back to your room and change your clothes, I'll handle it."
Gu Zhijing didn't leave, "The clothes are already wet anyway, I'll help you."
"Meow~ Meow meow!"
Tang Yuan howled loudly, refusing to touch the water.
"Go get a cat treat for him."
After the cat treat was opened, Tang Yuan finally stopped howling, although still resistant, he couldn't resist the allure of the treat.
One person washed, the other fed the cat treat, and finally, the bath was done.
"Alright, you go change your clothes too, I'll dry him and then come down."
Nian Suian wrapped Tang Yuan in a dry towel to wipe off the water, then had to put him in the dryer.
Since the bath was done and drying didn't need help, Gu Zhijing didn't stay any longer.
After making sure Tang Yuan's fur was dry, Nian Suian gave him a can of food before going downstairs.
Just as she returned to her room, someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, it was Gu Junxing standing outside, still in his pajamas, holding a pillow.
He didn't speak, and Nian Suian leaned against the doorframe to look at him, deliberately not saying anything.
"Ahem, can I come in?"
Nian Suian asked knowingly, "What do you mean by bringing a pillow to my room?"
"Do you want me to move in? Or... would you like to move to my room?" Gu Junxing looked down at Nian Suian's eyes and asked seriously.
Nian Suian clearly knew what agreeing to live with Gu Junxing meant.
But now, she didn't have any doubts in her heart, just paused for a moment, then moved aside, clearly indicating her intention.
"You don't need to bring a pillow, I have two in my room." After saying that, Nian Suian walked into the room by herself.
When Gu Junxing came in again, he only had a glass of water in his hand.
Nian Suian said "I'm going to take a shower" and went into the bathroom, while Gu Junxing sat on the sofa, casually watching an unnamed TV drama.
...
When the two of them sat together on the bed, Nian Suian saw Gu Junxing sitting in her small floral quilt and suddenly found the scene a bit funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Junxing was puzzled.
"Laughing at how your style doesn't match my bed," Nian Suian lay down and asked Gu Junxing to turn off the lights.
Perhaps because it was her own room, this time when Gu Junxing lay beside her, Nian Suian felt very relaxed.
After turning off the lights, the room was plunged into darkness, and neither of them spoke, the silence making them feel like they could hear each other's heartbeat, or maybe... their own heartbeat.
Gu Junxing didn't move for a long time, and the warmth of the blanket was too comfortable, Nian Suian was almost asleep, she didn't think too much, turned over, and prepared to sleep with her back to Gu Junxing.
But at this moment, Gu Junxing reached out and hugged her.
Nian Suian was almost asleep, suddenly being hugged, her drowsiness disappeared a bit, and she adjusted her position to face Gu Junxing.
"What do you want to do?"
Gu Junxing didn't answer the question, of course, this question didn't need an answer, in this scene, was there anything else to do?
"Suian, trust me," Gu Junxing held her hand and said softly.
Nian Suian blushed in the dark, barely audibly "um"ed.
The night was long...
Outside, snow was falling heavily, but inside, the ice was melting, and flowers were blooming.
After a long time, so long that Nian Suian was almost asleep, she suddenly felt herself being picked up and taken to the bathroom.
The bed here was no longer suitable for sleeping, so Gu Junxing carried her back to his room.
Nian Suian was too tired to care whose bed it was, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Gu Junxing didn't sleep right away, but went back to Nian Suian's room, took off the bedsheets, put them in the laundry basket, and took them to the laundry room to wash before going back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, when Nian Suian woke up, Gu Junxing was leaning on the bed, smiling at her as she woke up.
Nian Suian, seeing him now, couldn't help but think of last night's events, her face turning red.
"What time is it?"
"It's eleven o'clock."
"Why are you still here?!" Hearing it was already noon, Nian Suian immediately wanted to sit up, only to realize her muscles were sore.
"I was waiting for you to wake up."
Gu Junxing didn't want her to wake up and find herself alone, so even though he had woken up early, he didn't get out of bed first.
Nian Suian's toiletries were still in her room, so she wanted to go back to wash up, but Gu Junxing directly picked her up and walked to the opposite room.
Gu Zhijing happened to come downstairs after finishing his game, ready to eat, seeing the two of them in pajamas coming out of his father's room.
The three of them looked at each other...
"Oh! My eyes seem to be a bit blind from playing too much games, I didn't see anything."
After saying that, he was about to go downstairs, closing his eyes and feeling his way down, making Nian Suian speechless.
After seeing Gu Zhijing go downstairs, Nian Suian couldn't help but pinch Gu Junxing lightly.
"It's all your fault!"
The well-fed man was in a good mood at the moment, so he smiled and said it was all his fault, asking her not to be angry.
After washing up and going downstairs, Nian Suian found Nanny Zhang also smiling at her, making her speechless.
"Madam, this soup is specially made for you, it's for tonifying qi and blood, drink more."
"..."
Alright, drink it, you can't go against the soup.
Nanny Zhang's cooking was very good, even the tonic soup was delicious.
At this moment, Gu Zhijing asked, "Nanny Zhang, don't I get any?"
"Gu Zhijing."
Gu Junxing glared at his son, his tone implying a warning.
Nanny Zhang also chided her young master, "What qi and blood do you need to supplement, isn't the rib soup enough for you?"
After lunch, Nian Suian went back to her room, and even locked the door behind her.
She threw herself onto the bed, buried her head in the pillow, and screamed silently...
Of course, she didn't blush for too long, she soon fell asleep from exhaustion.
When Gu Junxing went upstairs and knocked on Nian Suian's door, there was no response.
Aliali: 6747c480c4f3f33ac46fd021Gu Zhijing, following behind Gu Junxing, said cheekily, "Oh ho! You've been locked out by my little stepmom? Looks like you had a brief moment of happiness!"
Gu Junxing was too lazy to deal with his cheeky son at the moment, directly went to the study to handle work.
But after sitting down, he began to reflect, was he too excessive last night?
And would he be able to get into the room tonight?
...
Gu Family's Laundry Room
"That's strange, why are there washed sheets in the washing machine?"
The maid in charge of the laundry room was about to wash clothes when she saw the sheets in the washing machine, very puzzled.
Another one looked and said, "This set of bedsheets, it looks like Madam's, I've seen it when hanging it out to dry."
"Why are Madam's bedsheets in the washing machine, who washed them?"
