Chapter 72: Helps Me Count Sheep
Later, after she graduated from elementary school, she went to the United States to study. Only when winter and summer vacation she returned to China for a period of time. The two met less, it seemed that gradually, they were not as close as they were when they were young.
Mu Xiao Xiao said, "Then okay, I will call you this way hereafter, but the exchange condition is, you have to count sheep for me."
"Count sheep?" Yin Shao Jie looked at her.
She mischievously smiled. "Yeah, I can't sleep, but it's already so late. When girls can’t sleep, it's not good for girl’s skin, so I want to fall asleep quickly, you can help me count the sheep, I am too lazy to count."
Yin Shao Jie speechless. she is too lazy to count, ask him to count for her? She is smart.
"Okay, I will count for you, but it is not popular to count sheep now."
“Then what is popular?” Mu Xiao Xiao asked curiously. She has not been in China for many years, so she does not know the domestic popular tendency.
Yin Shao Jie smiled and said, "Now popular is to count dumplings because the homophone of dumplings is sleep."
"Haha, dumplings! It's really funny! Okay, count for me."
Mu Xiao Xiao said, moved to a comfortable position, ready to wait for his 'dumplings' to sleep.
Yin Shao Jie counted, "a dumpling, two dumplings, three dumplings..."
"Wait!" only counted a few, she stopped him.
"No, don’t count this! Counting this, my mind full of dumplings, all hungry, count something else." She said depressedly, and quickly disperse the dumplings in her mind, so as not to be hungry.
Yin Shao Jie thought, suddenly smile, said: "Then like this, one Xiao Xiao, two Xiao Xiao, three Xiao Xiao ......"
Mu Xiao Xiao unexpectedly smiled and nodded satisfiedly. "Just count like this."
Then, in the darkness, echoed his low and deep voice.
"Four Xiao Xiao, five Xiao Xiao, six Xiao Xiao, seven..."
-----
The next day.
When Mu Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, Yin Shao Jie’s handsome face was close at hand. She looked down and found that the two became the same posture as they did last time, hugging together.
She puzzedly frowned and mutter, "How could this be..."
Although she has the habit of holding things to sleep, she did not have such a situation when she slept with others.
How come when sleep with Yin Shao Jie, every time become like this?
What's even more strange is that if it is because of her habit of sleeping, it should be that she hugs him. How can she be in his arms and be held by him?
Mu Xiao Xiao broke free from his arms, opened her drowsy eyes and sat up.
"Hey, wake up." She patted his shoulder.
Yin Shao Jie was awakened by her, opened his eyes, there is somewhat annoyance from waking up and looked at her with not very well complexion.
"I am really self-abuse..." he suddenly mutter.
Mu Xiao Xiao did not hear clearly, asked, "What do you say?"
"Nothing."
Yin Shao Jie sat up, leaning the pillow against the back, lazily stretched his waist, his hair was a little messy, but he looked more overbearing and unruly type of handsome.
Mu Xiao Xiao felt puzzled, move closer, and discover something. "Are you sleeping badly? There are bloodshot in your eyes."
Yin Shao Jie glance at her with a complaint. "I have to count sheep for you. I can sleep until you fall asleep. Then sleep halfway still by you... It’d be strange if I sleep well!"
So he said that he is self-abuse, then why stay overnight!
