After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

Joannian was silent.

This child likes to sleep in his room since he was a child, and he doesn't know what's wrong.

They all use the same laundry detergent, so it doesn't mean that the quilt in his room is particularly fragrant?

Or do you always sleep alone in foreign countries, so when you return to China, you like to share the bed with him?

Xiaolou is abroad...does he sleep alone?

Qiao Annian knelt on the bed with his right leg and wanted to go to the bed. The child was lying in the middle, and there was not enough room for him. "Then make room."

He Nanlou opened his eyes.

Look at this look, quite opinionated.Qiao Annian raised his eyebrows: "What? This is my bed, I can't sleep anymore? You lie down in it."

He Nanlou's eyes fell on Qiao Annian's slightly wet hair.

Joannian: "I've wiped it, but it's not very dry. In summer, you know, it's very hot..."

The child looked at him, not intending to lie down at all.

Qiao Annian took a deep breath, went back to the bathroom resignedly, and dried her hair with the cold air of the hair dryer.

If you use hot air in this season, it can really send people away in minutes.

Qiao Annian returned to the room, and played with the ends of her soft and fluffy hair with her fingertips: "Mr. Xiao He, may I ask you to condescend to me now, to trouble your body, and lie down on the side?"

Only then did the child move and lie down inside.

Joannian: "..."

really do.

He has just returned to China, and he has clearly played the trick of dove occupying magpie's nest.

...

Qiao Annian's bed was still the one he had when he was a child, and he hadn't changed it for so many years.

When I was a child, it was more than enough for two people to lie down, and there was even enough space for him to lay a pillow or a quilt in between, in case Xiaolou fell asleep and kicked him in the middle of the night.

Now that the two of them are grown up, they won't be crowded if they lie together, but the bed has become smaller, and it's true that it's not as spacious as it was when I was a child.

For example, with his hands and feet, as long as he moves a little more, the two of them will definitely touch each other.

Qiao Annian looked up at the ceiling, "It's like a dream."

He Nanlou closed his eyes, "Huh?"

Qiao Annian smiled and said, "When you first left the country, I would habitually touch the edge when I slept at night, to see if you had kicked the quilt, and if the quilt was still covering you. I did. Kong, only to realize suddenly that you are gone, and my heart will follow Kong. "

He Nanlou turned his face away, and his body was embraced into a warm embrace.

"Welcome home, baby."

Qiao Annian held the child in his arms, and gently stroked the back of the child's head like he did when he was a child.

Still, there are changes.

For example, when he was a child, he only needed to open his arms, and the child's head would reach his chest, um...now it can't be done, the child in his arms has become much bigger.

He Nanlou put his hands around Qiao Annian's waist, "Yes."

Qiao Annian curled his thumb and middle finger, and flicked on the child's forehead, "At this time, you should say, thank you Niannian, Brother Niannian, I miss you too."

The child looked at him with dark eyes and said nothing.

Joannian: "..."

"Well, very good, I feel that you miss me." Isn't it just to find a way for yourself, who doesn't seem to know?

In the summer, it's very hot to hold together, Qiao Annian let go of the child's hand and yawned: "I'm a little sleepy too."

Ever since he knew that the child was coming back today, Qiao Annian hadn't slept well for several days.

Today, I got up at four or five o'clock in the morning, got up early, and waited for the time to pass by, and went out.It took a total of two or three hours of driving back and forth to pick up the person home, and it was impossible not to be tired.

He Nanlou: "Sleep when you're sleepy."

Qiao Annian's voice was full of tiredness, "Yes."

After a while, he suddenly remembered something, Qiao Annian turned his face and asked, "Baby, has your sleeping pattern changed?"

He Nanlou's voice was cool: "Your life will be in danger, are you afraid?"

Qiao Annian looked at the child and said seriously, "...Baby, you have a bit of a sense of humor."

He Nanlou ignored him and closed his eyes.

"Bao, are you abroad, do you have a boyfriend?"

He Nanlou opened his eyes.

Qiao Annian didn't want to be that annoying parent at all, so he quickly said, "If you don't want to answer this question, you can skip it."

He Nanlou: "No."

Qiao Annian tried his best not to show too obvious happiness.

Of course, Qiao Annian was not conservative, but the child was too young, and he was worried that his family's children would suffer.

When a child grows up, it is quite normal to have a crush on the same sex or the opposite sex. There is nothing right or wrong in liking someone.

In Qiao Annian's view, love doesn't matter early or late, it's just that some people meet the person they like very early, while others may not meet until very late.

However, meeting the right person at the right time is really important.

The right time, the right place, and the harmony between people are the destiny, not something manpower can control. The only thing manpower can do is to be responsible for ourselves and the other party if we really decide to be with the other party.

"If you really meet someone you like in the future, I have no objection to you trying to date. But you must take good safety measures, be responsible for yourself, and be responsible for your other half, you know?"

He Nanlou stared at Qiao Annian.

Qiao Annian approached with a smirk, "Bao, look at me like that... you must be shy, right?"

Hahahaha!

Children are children, and they are still shy when talking about this topic of safety. Unlike when he was working, even the dormitory is full of boys in their early twenties, because everyone has been in society for a long time. Traveling online, talking about these topics has long been a nonsense.

He Nanlou: "Yes, blushing."

Joannian: "..."

Well, with an expressionless face, I really can't tell where I'm blushing.

But since Xiaolou said he hadn't talked about it, he must have never talked about it. The cabinets are all out, so it's not possible to have a relationship and hide it.

As for how to do a good job in safety measures, I will find a suitable opportunity in the future and have a good talk with Xiaolou.

Qiao Annian was already very sleepy at the moment, "Don't kick me when you fall asleep, you're a big one now, I can't stand you kicking me."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for Qiao Annian to fall asleep.

The breathing of the people around him gradually calmed down, and He Nanlou opened his eyes.

Placing their heads on Qiao Annian's pillow, their hair touched lightly, and He Nanlou closed his eyes again.

...

When Qiao Annian woke up, it was already dark outside the window.

There were no lights in the house.

Qiao Annian touched the side subconsciously, but found nothing but the quilt.

Qiao Annian sat up at once.

The body has woken up, but the brain is still a little dazed, and he can't be sure for a while, if he is dreaming again, dreaming that he went to the airport to pick up the child.

Qiao Annian picked up the phone by the bedside and clicked on WeChat. There were chat records between him and Xiaolou on it.

The top one was not Xiaolou's WeChat, but a group message.

Just as Qiao Annian was about to open the door, the door of the room opened, and the light from the corridor came in.

Qiao Annian looked at the boy who walked into the room from the light, and smiled, "It seems that I am not dreaming? I thought I brought you back in my dream."

He Nanlou turned on the light in the room, and the room became bright immediately

The.

Qiao Annian finally woke up at this moment, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "When did you wake up?"

After finishing speaking, he paused and looked at the child suspiciously: "Are you asleep? Or are you not asleep at all?"

He Nanlou: "Sleep."

Just less than an hour later, he woke up again.

Jet lag, falling asleep late, waking up early.

Unable to fall asleep, he simply went back to his room and dealt with business.Going abroad is not completely useless, at least in the past few years abroad, it is much more convenient to deal with company affairs.

Qiao Annian approached and smelled the smell of coffee on the child's body, leaned closer, sniffed it, and asked slightly surprised, "Baby, have you had coffee?"

He Nanlou: "I had a drink."

Did you really drink it?

Qiao Annian was in a complicated mood, "When did you start drinking coffee? Do you drink it often? You have a lot of schoolwork?"

"The year before last, once in a while, it's okay. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Joannian: "..."

Did Xiaolou remind him "tactfully" that he was too wordy?

Qiao Annian asked cautiously, "Am I being too wordy?"

He Nanlou: "It's still within the acceptable range."

Qiao Annian twitched the corners of her lips, "Thank you."

"Ah."

Joannian: "..."

Also "hmm" on.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

I didn't feel anything when I first woke up, but now I feel like my entire bladder is going to explode.

Qiao Annian hurried to the bathroom, shaking the water in his hand habitually, still thinking about the fact that the kid started drinking coffee the year before last.

It's really too early!

Qiao Annian: "You are still young, drinking too much coffee is not good for you, it should be in moderation."

He Nanlou stood behind him with disgust in his eyes, "Go and wipe your hands."

Qiao Annian: "I've washed my hands, the water is clean, okay—"

Before Qiao Annian could finish another word "good", He Nanlou interrupted, "Go and wipe your hands."

This time, he also strengthened his tone, without any intention of discussing it.

Qiao Annian took a deep breath.

The baby he brought up by himself, he endured it! ! !

There is only such a little water on his hand, even if he doesn't wipe it, the air conditioner will be completely dry, okay?

Qiao Annian complained in his heart, but still aggrieved and went to get a tissue to wipe his hands.

Qiao Annian threw the tissue into the trash can and walked back: "You've eaten—"

Qiao Annian paused, and said intentionally, "Have you eaten yet? You can always ask this, right?"

He Nanlou: "You can ask anything you want."

The corners of Qiao Annian's lips couldn't stop rising, and he still said, "That's what you said, when you grow up, you might think I'm annoying."

"Xiaolou, is Niannian already awake?"

Zhang Qianrou's voice sounded from the door of the room.

Zhang Qianrou walked into the room, "I said it seemed to be at the stairs, and I heard the voices of the two of you talking. Now that you're awake, let's go downstairs for dinner."

Qiao Annian looked surprised: "It shouldn't be early now, right? I think it's already dark, mom, you and Xiaolou, you haven't eaten yet?"

"No. Mom had afternoon tea in the afternoon, so she wasn't very hungry. But Xiaolou, I think he woke up early, made a cup of coffee and went upstairs, and never came down. I was worried that he would be hungry , deliberately called him to eat in advance, but he said he was not hungry, and said he would eat together when you woke up. Since you are awake, come down. I think Xiaolou must be very hungry right now."

Qiao Annian responded, "Oh, good."

Zhang Qianrou took the lead, turned around and ate the door, and went downstairs.

Qiao Annian and He Nanlou walked behind, Qiao Annian looked at the children beside him

Son, "You woke up early? Are you jet-lagged and not sleeping well?"

Qiao Annian had never been abroad, and all the photography orders he had taken before were in China, so he had never experienced what it felt like to be jet-lagged.

But he had heard about jet lag, especially when Xiaolou came back several times, it always took several days before he could sleep normally.

But the previous few times, he remembered that Xiaolou seemed to sleep a lot, and fell asleep as soon as he got home, and he would sleep for several days before returning to normal.

Why is it the other way around this time? "

He Nanlou: "It's not very early. Yes."

Qiao Annian had long been used to the children's brief answering pattern, and knew that his "um" was aimed at the jet lag question behind him.

"Then you sleep less during the day, can you go to bed earlier and longer at night?"

"do not know."

"Soak your feet in hot water at night... No, will soaking your feet in hot water in summer make it easier to fall asleep? Why don't you try drinking a glass of milk, or listening to some relaxing music? White noise and music are both good sleep aids." Yes, I'll look for it tonight."

"Ah."

The two chatted one after another, and went downstairs together.

...

The dinner was prepared according to He Nanlou's eating habits.

Every dish on the table has no green onions, shredded ginger is picked clean, no shiitake mushrooms, and no coriander...

"Come on, Xiaolou, try it, and see if the talisman suits your taste."

Zhang Qianrou knew that the child was obsessed with cleanliness, so she didn't pick up the food for the child, but just motioned him to use his chopsticks to taste it.

Qiao Annian: "Mom, didn't I tell you that it's fine to let the servants do it. You've finally taken a rest at home, just take a good rest."

When Qiao Annian saw the dishes on the table, he knew it was his mother's handiwork. Except for Zhou's mother, only his mother could remember Xiaolou's eating habits so clearly.

Zhou's mother had already been dismissed during the summer vacation when she was in the sixth grade of Xiaolou Primary School, so this meal could only be made by his mother.

Speaking of which, Qiao Annian was quite surprised that Zhou's mother was fired.

I heard that it was Xiaolou who asked Mama Zhou to leave.

He didn't know what happened at first. At first he didn't see Zhou's mother for several days in a row. It turned out that Zhou's mother took her daughter to Jiangcheng during the summer vacation... and took the child here while there was no one at home.

Xiaolou went home early and saw the girl sleeping on the bed in his room.

It is estimated that the girls are tired and sleepy from playing, and the master bedroom must not dare to lie down, and the room of the young master Xiaolou must not touch it. Only his surname is Qiao, and the room not surnamed He is the most suitable room, so I sleep with him. room up.

It's not that there are no other guest rooms in the He family, such as Zhou's mother's own room and the rooms of the other two maids are not small at all.

But some people are like this in their hearts, and they may think that he can sleep in such a good room as an outsider, why can't she and so on.

Qiao Annian knew from the moment she was in the book that Zhou's mother had some character problems and would often be lazy, but she had always devoted herself to Xiaolou, and with Yuan Li, Xiaolou's affection for this Zhou's mother was still quite strong. Seriously, he didn't want to hurt the child's heart, so for so many years, he just turned a blind eye.

Maybe an old servant like Zhou Ma, especially an old servant who takes care of the master and master in one hand, the master He Weishen is not at home all year round, and his mother can only be regarded as half a mistress at most, no one can hold her down In the case of , it is particularly easy to float.

Anyway, what his mother told him later was that Xiaolou called He Weishen for the first time.

After that, he never saw Zhou's mother again.

Now the He family only has two maids, who are responsible for the house cleaning and three meals a day.

...

"It's just cooking a meal, there's nothing to be tired about.

You also eat more.Ever since I found out that Xiaolou was going back to China, I see that you are looking at the calendar on your phone while eating these few days, and looking at the calendar on your phone while sitting on the sofa, wishing you could count on your fingers.Now that the person is finally back, the two of you are eating at the same dinner table again, are you happy? "

Qiao Annian looked at the table full of dishes, and looked at his two lives together, the two most important people in this world, the corners of his lips curled up, "No, it's not easy to finally eat at the same table. I'm going to get orange juice! Mom, Xiaolou, the three of us have a toast!"

"Cheers to orange juice? Niannian, would you like to toast Xiaolou?"

Qiao Annian is now an adult, and sometimes mother and son will clink glasses during festivals.

Regarding the matter of drinking, Zhang Qianrou doesn't control her very much, mainly because she also believes that the child has a sense of proportion.Of course, it's better not to touch alcohol if you can avoid it. Drinking alcohol will hurt your body after all.

When you are particularly happy, you might as well make an exception once.

Qiao Annian stood up from his seat: "Shall I toast him? Mom, ask him, does he have such a big name?"

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Qiao Annian laughed and cursed, "Go away."

Zhang Qianrou disapproved and said: "Hey, Niannian, why did you talk to Xiaolou? Don't talk to my brother like that."

Qiao Annian took out a large bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator and filled the glasses for Zhang Qianrou and the children.

The three of them clinked glasses together.

Qiao Annian specially clinked glasses with the child alone: ​​"When you are an adult, I will have a good drink with you!"

He Nanlou: "I remember."

Qiao Annian was amused, "Why do you remember this? You can't wait to grow up so that you can drink openly, right?"

Zhang Qianrou took a sip of orange juice, turned her head, looked at the child and said, "Are children curious about things they haven't tried before? This is normal. Isn't it, Xiaolou?"

Qiao Annian: "I agree with the first half of the sentence. Don't talk about children. It's normal for adults to be curious about things they haven't tried before, and want to try something more, right? But breaking the law, or walking around the law No matter how curious you are, you can't touch the fringe things."

Zhang Qianrou nodded in agreement, she said softly: "You are right, but Xiaolou just came back today, so don't talk about such a serious topic, let Xiaolou have a happy dinner."

Qiao Annian smiled, "You're very right. Didn't I just... just say it casually? Come on, come on, let's keep going!"

Qiao Annian toasted, and once again clinked glasses with his mother and the child.

In the dining room, bright lights were cast on Zhang Qianrou and Xiaolou on the table. Qiao Annian finally had a real sense of reality about the children's return to China.

Just like what his mother said just now, they finally sat at the same table to eat again.

...

When Qiao Annian was sleeping, the sound of the phone was muted.

Later, after waking up, I went downstairs to eat with my mother and children, and I never looked at my phone.

After dinner, he went upstairs with the children.

He Nanlou went back to his room to pick up his laptop and iPad. Qiao Annian picked up the phone beside the bed, and when he looked at it, he found that there were more than one hundred messages in the group.

Probably knew that Xiaolou came back today and asked about Xiaolou's situation.

Qiao Annian opened the group message, and sure enough, it was all from Aite or Xiaolou.

Lin Lele: "@大乔, have you successfully received Xiaolou? Why is there no news at all?"

Luo Jie: "You still don't know him? When Xiaolou comes back, he can take care of us? Just wait, at the earliest evening, at the latest tomorrow, he will reply to our message."

Yu Zihang: "Xiaolou will stay for a full summer vacation when he comes back this time, right?"

Jiang Ruoyi: "It's hard to say. I don't think he was fully booked the year before last and last summer. @小楼,小楼,小楼, what are you doing now? Just blink when you are kidnapped by An Nian."

Xu Minglang: "I don't know if Xiaolou has grown taller this year. When I saw him during the winter vacation, he was almost taller than me."

Lin Lele: "Don't grow any longer. Brother Lele won't be able to take his shoulders freely if he grows any longer."

He Nanlou: "@林乐乐, no, no. If you stand on tiptoe, you can barely touch it. Hahaha."

Luo Jie: "... Please, it's fine for you to use the same phone, please change the phone case to a different one?!!! Every time you use Xiaolou's account to reply to our messages, it's out of harmony .You and Xiaolou haven't separated yet, I'm going to have a schizophrenia."

It was only after Qiao Annian sent the message that he realized that he had taken the wrong phone again.

Qiao Annian continued to use the child's mobile phone to reply——

He Nanlou: "Hahahaha! No!"

Cheng Yunxi: "I always feel that this is ruining Xiaolou Kugai's aptitude."

Cheng Yunxi: "Typo. Image."

Qiao Annian was holding the phone, almost startled.

I almost thought that Xiaolou posted on Moments by himself and came out in a high-profile manner.

This cheating input method.

...

"Xiaolou, Lele and the others want to ask you out to play together. Do you have any special attractions or entertainment places that you want to visit?"

He Nanlou walked into the room with an IPAD and a hand in his arms, "Can't refuse?"

"Hahahaha. If you refuse, they will directly kill you at home. Even if you are tied, they will tie you up and play with you, right?"

The advantage of being the youngest in the group is that you can be cared for everywhere.The downside is...the kindness of brothers and sisters, there is no way to refuse, hahaha.

He Nanlou put the iPad and his hand on the bed and walked to the head of the bed.

"Are you looking for your phone? I have your phone. Just now I read it wrong again, and accidentally took your WeChat to reply to everyone in the group, which caused a lot of protests. Hahaha, here it is."

Qiao Annian handed the mobile phone to He Nanlou and went to get his own mobile phone.

After fingerprint unlocking, Qiao Annian clicked on WeChat, and saw the child send a message in the group.

He Nanlou: "Hey, what are the scenic spots, entertainment places, where have you been to the small building, why haven't you played? The child has just come back and is tired. Let him stay at home for a few more days. These days, he is very tired. Don't come and disturb us, do you hear me?"
