The two spent the night with different thoughts, their hearts heavy, neither sleeping well. Chen Jing fell asleep around four in the morning, and Xu Cheng’an’s sleep time was unknown, but he got up early.
Steamed eggs were prepared in the pot, black rice porridge was cooked, and lettuce was stir-fried to go with it. He set the table and tidied up the kitchen before going to the bedroom to wake Shen Ran. ”Ran Jie,” Xu Cheng’an leaned close to her ear, calling her gently: “Time to wake up.” Chen Jing turned over, drowsily half-closing her eyes. Seeing Xu Cheng’an’s face inches away, she slowly closed her eyes again, her voice soft: “Not getting up.” Xu Cheng’an had never seen Shen Ran like this and felt a stir in his heart, almost wanting to pin her down for some morning exercise. He chuckled softly, kissing her forehead, patiently coaxing: “Get up and have some breakfast first, and then I’ll keep you company to sleep, okay?” The gentle laughter and warm voice were particularly comfortable, making Chen Jing even less willing to get up. Without opening her eyes, she reached out from under the covers, hooking his neck and pulling him down. Xu Cheng’an’s smile widened, kissing her thoroughly until both were breathless, before reluctantly pulling away. Chen Jing’s sleepiness was completely gone: “Why are you up so early?” If she remembered correctly, today was a weekend and they didn’t need to go to work.
Xu Cheng’an blushed looking at her, she was still catching her breath, her brow marked with a seductive color from their recent kiss, teasingly raising an eyebrow at him, looking irresistibly alluring.
Xu Cheng’an’s throat moved: “Your brother called me, saying he’s coming over.”
“You gave him the address?” Chen Jing didn’t expect Shen Yuan to be so persistent. It clearly had nothing to do with Xu Cheng’an, and she had already told him last night, yet he still wanted to come.
“Mm.” Xu Cheng’an was straightforward: “He said he had agreed with you last night that he must come.”
Chen Jing asked: “Cheng’an, do you want him to come?”
“Your brother is my brother, of course I want him to come,” Xu Cheng’an said obediently.
