“Under the deep blue ocean…”
Ming Ansheng gently patted Xiaojiao’s chest as he recited the story . He had memorized most of the famous fairy tales by now .
He also knew that Xiaojiao liked it when he didn’t read too fast . She liked him to be animated and lively, too .
His deep and manly voice was as fine as aged wine . His voice traveled to Su Yue’s ears .
It was now past midnight and Su Yue yawned repeatedly . She was getting sleepy as she listened to Ming Ansheng reciting the story .
She placed her head on the bed and gradually, her eyelids became heavy .
The next moment, it was already morning . Su Yue blinked a couple of times before looking around .
“Uncle is stupid . ”
“Yeah . Xiaojiao is the smartest . ”
Ming Ansheng and Su Xiaojiao were talking . The lass was so weak and pale from the pain last night, but now she sounded energetic and lively once again .
Su Yue glanced at them and her heart softened .
Xiaojiao sat on Ming Ansheng’s lap, and he wound his arms around her . In his hands was a book to develop intelligence for young children .
He was patiently teaching her .
Xiaojiao snuggled against Ming Ansheng’s chest . She seemed so natural, and this scene looked so peaceful at the moment .
As though they were originally so intimate and close, and so…
If the events didn’t happen, they should be like that .
But alas, they still happened and everything had changed .
She always believed that it was impossible to fix a shattered mirror . Just like how they won’t be able to reconcile .
Su Yue sighed deeply in her heart . She didn’t make a sound, for fear of disrupting the peace .
She shouldn’t be so harsh to herself and Xiaojiao .
She withdrew her gaze and stared at the ceiling . She suddenly thought of something .
Wasn’t she sitting on the chair when she fell asleep? Why was she on the bed right now?
Su Yue got a shock, and she glanced at the chair . Then her eyes landed at the spot where Xiaojiao slept next to her last night .
There was no doubt that Ming Ansheng had carried her to the bed after she fell asleep .
But why didn’t she feel anything?
No… why didn’t she guard herself against him at all?
She wasn’t like that in the past . She was always afraid that someone would play a trick or do something to her when she was asleep . So, she was always a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest sound .
After she got together with Jiao Chen, she would often fall asleep on the couch . And the next morning, she would always wake up in her own bed .
She felt nothing every time Jiao Chen carried her .
But… she always felt the safest with… him .
Su Yue stole a glance at the couch .
At the moment, she met that pair of shrewd-looking eyes . Her heart skipped a beat .
Her eyes flickered, and she managed a tiny smile .
“You’re awake . ” Ming Ansheng smiled and nodded at her .
Su Yue widened her smile .
She got up slowly and glanced at her clothes . Her wet clothes had already dried up .
