Whisper unintentionally

25.

Xu Xiaomai took a long time to come out of the shower, thinking that the little button might have fallen asleep, but the little girl was still fighting hard against the constant drowsiness, blinking her eyes and waiting.No problem, only pretending to be calm and cautious to get into the bed next to the little girl, leaning against the head of the bed instead of lying down directly, it always needs a transition.Xu Xiaomai is not used to sleeping with a child.

Little Button didn't admit that he was unfamiliar at all, he turned sideways, squeezed happily beside Xu Maimai, put his arms around her waist, and looked up at Xu Maimai, "It would be great if someone would sleep with me every day."

Then they began to discuss whether it was scary to sleep alone.Little Button said that he was afraid of monsters running in from the window, so Xu Xiaomai couldn't say that what he was afraid of was "loneliness", he could only say that what he was afraid of was ghosts.They each stated their reasons and had a great discussion.

Suddenly, Little Button turned to Kou Yan'er who was left aside by them, "Mom, why aren't you afraid of sleeping alone?"

Kou Yan'er was caught off guard, too embarrassed to reply.

What Little Button said was nothing special, but Kou Yaner's embarrassment fell into Xu Maimai's eyes, and he immediately felt that there was a lot of information, so he stared at Kou Yaner for a long time.

"Go to bed, it's late." Kou Yan'er simply changed the subject abruptly, and turned around to press the light switch by the bedside.Xu Xiaomai saw Kou Yan'er's face flushed slightly when she saw the light above her head.Then the room was plunged into darkness.

"Mom hates it the most." Little Button mumbled coquettishly, and then hugged Xu Maimai's waist even tighter.

Almost before Xu Maimai lay down on his body, the little button's snoring sounded in his ears.Children are so heartless, and she is already exhausted.

Xu Mai didn't sleep well that night.

Half of his mind is used to take care of the little button's every move.Xu Xiaomai was careful not to let the little girl crawl out of the bed, and also not to let the little girl get too close to her body, she was not used to it.

Half of his mind was wondering what it would be like for Kou Yaner to sleep alone.From time to time she was excited by the news, which she hoped was true.At the same time, she kept reminding herself not to think too much, and not to let herself have unrealistic thoughts.But she still couldn't keep herself from being excited and looking forward to it.

In the days that followed, Xu Xiaomai had meetings from morning to night, and at night he either went out to drink with his colleagues, or answered company emails on the computer, prepared PPTs to speak, completely ignoring Kou Yaner's mother and daughter.

"The last night I can't be with you, tomorrow I only have a half-day meeting, and I will leave it to you from the afternoon." Xu Maimai said to them apologetically while sitting in front of the computer.

Little Button is messing with the coffee and tea leaves in the room, as well as all kinds of messy food, soaking them into the cup together to make her "smelly water".This is the magic water that she prepares every night, and there are innovations and improvements every day, tirelessly. "Mom, I'm going to do a job like wheat in the future. It's so cool to go on a business trip. I can make stinky water."

Kou Yan'er leaned against the bedside to read a book, and smiled when she heard what Xu Maimai said.She is also looking forward to tomorrow afternoon, she hopes that Xu Xiaomai can join their activities.

Xu Maimai was busy until 11 o'clock.Little Button had been snoring a long time ago.

Xu Xiaomai stretched his arms behind his back vigorously, kneading the tense cervical spine and shoulder blades, his entire back was painful and stiff.

Kou Yan'er couldn't help getting out of bed with distress, and walked over to help Xu Xiaomai massage.She lay in bed reading every night, and often looked up silently to observe Xu Maimai's work.Xu Maimai was extremely focused on doing things, and his whole body almost never moved.

"Maimai, I booked a spa for tomorrow afternoon." Kou Yaner pressed Xu Maimai's stiff muscles.

Xu Xiaomai leaned her body against the back of the chair, trying to relax her body a bit, and feel the strength of Kou Yaner's fingers.But she just couldn't relax, and tried her best not to make a sound.She didn't want to make any inappropriate noises.

"Shall we go for a drink?" This is their regular program before going to bed every day, drinking on the balcony.Kou Yaner bought two bottles of good wine.

"Mai, find someone, you work too hard." Kou Yan'er took a sip of his wine and lit a cigarillo.She doesn't smoke much, but she still buys cigarillos.She explained that when she was too happy, she would want to smoke one.

"You mean, find a nanny?" Xu Xiaomai jokingly said, "You can't find someone to take care of yourself because of hard work, right? You need to have love and feelings."

Kou Yan'er smoked silently, the blue and white smoke of the cigar floating in the air, illuminated by the light coming through the room, which had a special charm.

"There must be love." Kou Yan'er repeated.Compared to Xu Maimai, how tacky his own thoughts are.
