Shi Yun shook his head, the smile on his lips not yet faded,
“No need, they should be back to harvest apples and won’t be staying for long.”
An Huaixu suddenly felt an itch in his mouth, and the long-dormant craving for cigarettes resurfaced.
He coughed, forcefully suppressing the discomfort, “What kind of people are your… your parents?”
Shi Yun’s eyebrows curved, deepening his smile.
“My Ama is very gentle, she can clearly remember all our family’s preferences.
My Ada is honest and simple, with great strength. My A-sis…”
He paused for a few seconds when he mentioned his sister, sighing deeply,
“She is very lively and active, but her body is not good, and the long-term treatment has extinguished her personality.”
After Shi Yun finished speaking, he seemed a little curious about An Huaixu, and asked in return, “What about your family?”
An Huaixu was distracted.
Caught off guard by the topic turning to himself, he was slightly stunned, answering simply but not perfunctorily,
“My father is a businessman, my mother is a musician, my older brother is with my father, and he—” An Huaixu snorted, continuing, “He’s not a good person.”
Shi Yun smiled behind An Huaixu’s back.
He could sense that although An Huaixu didn’t express it directly, the rare upward inflection in his tone betrayed his love for his family.
Shi Yun pretended to be casual, “The fact that you can describe your brother like that proves that you two have a good relationship.”
An Huaixu didn’t react much to being exposed by Shi Yun, as if he had expected it.
Shi Yun stood beside him with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky in thought.
Caizhen’s words from the afternoon were still circling in his mind.
Since he learned that he wasn’t his Ama’s biological child, it was the first time he wanted to know what his original family was like.
“Huaixu-ge, you said my biological…” Shi Yun didn’t know why, but he felt a little shy mentioning them, and his heart was beating wildly.
He turned his face away, forcefully changing the subject, “Never mind, I didn’t say anything.”
An Huaixu noticed the change in Shi Yun’s mood and was about to answer when An Shuqi suddenly lay down on Shi Yun’s leg, whimpering and asking for a hug.
An Huaixu missed the opportunity and silently closed his mouth.
It was getting late, and the two children were tired.
According to the plan, Qiaoqiao was supposed to sleep with Shi Yun, but An Shuqi refused to share with that little brother, pulling his hand with red eyes.
Shi Yun and An Huaixu exchanged glances.
According to An Huaixu’s personality, he would have already picked up An Shuqi and taken him back to the house without saying a word, but strangely, he didn’t make any move.
At that moment, Shi Yun squatted down, smiling and pinching the two children’s faces, “Okay, your wish has come true!”
Having said that, he said a little embarrassedly, “How about this, Huaixu-ge, my bed is big, let’s all sleep in my room tonight.
Qiaoqiao hasn’t fully recovered yet, and I’m afraid he’ll bother you at night.”
An Huaixu had clearly already imagined this answer in his mind, but now he felt annoyed.
He wouldn’t have had any objections in the past, but now, his feelings for Shi Yun were different.
He wasn’t even sure if he could fall asleep if he and Shi Yun were lying on the same bed.
Shi Yun was talking to the two children.
Seeing that An Huaixu hadn’t paid attention to him for a long time, he raised his head in confusion and ‘ah’ed softly.
An Huaixu met his gaze for a moment, looked away, and nodded.
Shi Yun kindly let An Huaixu take the two children to wash up, while he went back to his room to make the bed.
More than ten minutes later.
An Shuqi, with his sleeves and pant legs rolled up, flailed his arms and legs, hopping and skipping as he slipped in with his little slippers.
“Xiao Shi-gege!”
Behind him, Qiaoqiao didn’t have slippers and could only be carried by An Huaixu.
Shi Yun arranged the pillows and, with a swift motion, lifted An Shuqi onto the bed.
An Shuqi was very excited to be sleeping with Shi Yun, completely different from the sleepy little bun from before.
He lay on Shi Yun’s lap, resting his little face and acting cute, “Xiao Shi-gege, I want you to tell me a story~”
An Huaixu put down Qiaoqiao, pulled An Shuqi over, and helped him change into his pajamas while saying with disdain,
“An Shuqi, how old are you to still want a story?”
An Shuqi pouted, scratching his hands aggrievedly, “But Mom often tells me stories…”
An Huaixu tucked An Shuqi into the blanket and poked his forehead, “Stay put, or go sleep in that room by yourself.”
An Shuqi was most afraid of sleeping alone.
Hearing those words, he became pitifully quiet in a few seconds.
Shi Yun had already dressed Qiaoqiao and was now holding him, smiling at the uncle and nephew pair.
Seeing An Shuqi and An Huaixu look over at the same time, his smile deepened.
An Huaixu unnaturally bent down to arrange the shoes by the bed, asking in a muffled voice, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Yun shook his head, lifted the blanket, and signaled Qiaoqiao to lie down next to An Shuqi.
The two children looked at each other, giggled a few times, and scooted inwards together, blinking, sometimes looking at Shi Yun, sometimes looking at An Huaixu.
On the warm yellow blanket, the faces of the two children were tender and cute.
Shi Yun’s heart softened into a puddle, and he touched their heads one by one, asking softly,
“What kind of story do you want to hear? Gege will tell you later, okay?”
An Shuqi was happy, “Tell us about Car Little Di!”
Qiaoqiao asked curiously, “What’s that?”
“Little Di is a very good car friend!” An Shuqi gestured excitedly.
Qiaoqiao was instantly energized by him, and his sleepiness was swept away, becoming active.
An Huaixu went out to get water and, when he returned with a glass of water, saw such a scene—
The two children were sticking their butts up under the blanket, Shi Yun was facing them, his hair was sticking up, and he was using both hands to vividly describe something.
The three of them created an atmosphere of three hundred people.
An Huaixu silently covered his face.
He thought the two children were the biggest headache, but he didn’t expect Shi Yun, who was playing too hard.
The next morning.
An Huaixu woke up first.
Or, to be more accurate, he hadn’t slept much at all that night.
And it was all Shi Yun’s fault!
After telling the story yesterday, Qiaoqiao couldn’t hold on and fell asleep first.
An Shuqi mumbled to himself for a while and then closed his eyes.
Shi Yun remembered the doctor’s instructions and stubbornly insisted until midnight, falling asleep only after confirming that Qiaoqiao didn’t have a fever.
Before sleeping, Shi Yun was chatting with An Huaixu in a low voice, so after he got sleepy, he naturally lay down next to An Huaixu.
Two blankets on a large bed.
Shi Yun had arranged it very well at first, saying that Qiaoqiao would share with him, and Huaixu-ge would still be with Shuqi.
But now the situation—
An Huaixu first looked at the two children huddled together, sleeping sweetly.
After thinking for a few seconds, he looked down at Shi Yun, who was leaning against his chest, clearly sound asleep.
An Huaixu couldn’t do anything about him.
He sighed and was about to turn over to the other side of the bed.
In the next second, Shi Yun seemed to be dreaming, dissatisfied with the movement of the person next to him, humming, and irresistibly placing his long leg on An Huaixu’s body.
An Huaixu stiffly moved, finding that after this kid fell asleep, he was as indestructible as a rock.
He remained still for a few seconds, resigning himself to covering him with the blanket.
Although Shi Yun had amnesia, his childhood habit of hugging something while sleeping had been retained to this day.
But things were different now.
In his childhood, An Huaixu could sleep peacefully, but now it was different—
An Huaixu’s mind was on high alert, unable to relax.
He stared wide-eyed until five o’clock before being swallowed by sleep, barely dozing for half an hour.
Shi Yun struggled on the edge of waking up, turned over, and finally let go of An Huaixu.
An Huaixu’s half-leg was numb, and it was difficult for him to recover for a while.
He frowned and lay straight for a long time before he had the strength to get out of bed.
He stood by the bed with his hands on his hips, looking at Shi Yun’s messy hair and docile face, his helplessness turning into joy.
He thought, It’s not bad like this.
It was now a little after six o’clock in the morning, and the follow-up camera operator and Ani had just arrived in the yard and were organizing their equipment.
After confirming with Ani that there was a live broadcast feed, the camera operator raised the camera, but he didn’t expect that the moment he raised it, he would be pointing at An Huaixu, who was walking out of Teacher Shi’s room.
He remembered that in the morning shots a few days ago, An Huaixu was invariably washed up and well-groomed.
But today—
Ani blinked in shock.
An Huaixu’s hair was sticking up on the back of his head, he was wearing a set of black pajamas, his face was pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
Not only did it not affect his appearance, but it also deepened his gloomy temperament, and his cold face was even more captivating.
But—
Ani rested her chin, broke free from her infatuated mood, and quickly fell into a huge vortex:
If she wasn’t mistaken, Teacher An had just walked out of Teacher Shi’s room, right?
Why would Teacher An come out of Teacher Shi’s room in this state?
Did they sleep together last night?
Had their relationship gotten to the point where they were sharing a blanket?
Not only Ani, but sharp-eyed netizens also noticed this highlight.
[An Huaixu’s wife fan silently typed out a cold question mark at this strange scene.]
[If you two are like this and still say you’re not together, that won’t do!]
[Well done, An Huaixu, you don’t even want to pretend anymore?!]
[If this is wheat bran, please let all couples follow this standard in the future!]
[I’ve been a fan of An Huaixu for so many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him so unkempt!
My god, he’s still so charming!]
[The real An Huaixu, coach, I like this one!]
On the screen, the comments from the CP fans and An Huaixu’s wife fans were polarized.
Fortunately, the two sides didn’t interfere with each other, and even if there were radical fans who had verbal conflicts, they were quickly drowned in the growing comments from netizens.
An Huaixu couldn’t see these things.
He gently closed the door, glanced at the camera standing in place, yawned, and returned to his room as usual.
Ten minutes later.
An Huaixu changed his clothes and walked out.
An Huaixu had a good figure, and even wearing the simplest jeans and black short sleeves, he looked like a magazine model.
