A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian returned home. As soon as they heard the door open, Lan Shan ran out.

After not seeing her for two days, Lanshan missed her mother too.

It feels good to be home, full of love and familiarity.

"Mom, look, we changed the turtle tank to a turtle tank." Lan Shan said, and excitedly pulled Ye Lian towards the place where the turtle was raised.

Lanshan likes to raise turtles.

I bought a palm-sized stone money turtle two months ago.

The stone money turtle slowly grew bigger and bigger.

Every time Lanshan saw that turtle staying alone in the tank, he felt that the turtle was so lonely, so he wanted to give it a little friend, and always bothered Ye Lian to buy him another one.

No, a few days ago, Ye Lian saw a turtle seller on the roadside and bought another one for Lanshan.

Lanshan was very happy, watching the two turtles crawling around slowly, and said that it would be great if the two turtles were one male and one female, so that they could have many baby turtles.

He asked Ye Lian, which turtle was male? Which one is female?

Ye Lian just laughed and said, "I don't know either?" I can't read it.

Lanshan felt a little regretful, and then asked, could he change the two turtles to a larger turtle tank?

Ye Lian said yes, I will buy you a glass jar whenever I see it.

But a few days passed, and Ye Lian didn't buy the turtle tank. She went out for the past two days and bought the turtle tank instead.

"Mom, look, is this turtle tank much bigger?" Lan Shan asked, pointing to the new turtle tank.

"Well, it's much bigger, but isn't it too heavy? It's hard to clean." Ye Lian said.

"It's okay, I can hold her." Lan Shan quickly dismissed Ye Lian's concerns.

"Okay," Ye Lian approved the new turtle tank: "Then you are responsible for cleaning the turtle's new home."

"No problem, take care of me." Lan Shan patted his chest like a man.

Ye Lian smiled: "Then you go do your homework now."

"The homework is finished."

"Where are you practicing?"

"Then I'll go practice the piano."

Lanshan said and went into the room to practice the piano. After a while, the sound of the piano floated out of the room.

"Did you buy it for Lanshan?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian.

"Last night after get off work, I happened to see a glass jar selling glass jars on the roadside." Cao Xueqian said.

"Would it be in the way if I put it here?" Ye Lian asked again.

The turtle tank was placed in the corner between the living room and the master bedroom, and Ye Lian was worried about touching it.

Cao Xueqian said, "Are you okay? Shanshan said he would see it as soon as he opened the door and it would be convenient to go to the bathroom for cleaning."

"Then put it as close to the wall as possible."

"Got it."

Cao Xueqian said and moved the glass jar to the wall.

The previous turtle tank was just a small goldfish tank. This new turtle tank is a square glass tank, about the same height as a laptop computer.

The two turtles may not be used to this tall new home, and they always like to climb to higher places near the glass. The glass was very slippery, so they fell off after climbing twice. Then climb again and fall again.

Ye Lian looked at them fighting and losing again and again, and thought they were quite cute.

……

Late at night, while sleeping, Ye Lian heard something.

Ye Lian is a light sleeper and can wake up at the slightest sound.

She opened her eyes drowsily.

What is the sound?

Click, click, click, click click, click click, click click, click click, click…

Rat? But why is there a "pop" sound?

Thief?

There was a thief in the house, a few years ago, at the end of the year.

Could there be another thief tonight?

Ye Lian was a little nervous and pointed her ears to distinguish.

No, the voice didn't move.

What is that sound? If you don't figure it out, you won't be able to sleep tonight.

Ye Lian turned to look at Cao Xueqian. Cao Xueqian was sleeping deeply, breathing deeply and steadily.

Ye Lian was so envious of Cao Xueqian's sleep.

He can fall asleep without waking up easily.

Once before, also late at night, on the long slope of Mingtian Road, a large truck rolled over out of control. The loud "boom" was like a heavy bomb, and the surrounding residents woke up and got up to watch. .

But Cao Xueqian didn't wake up and slept until dawn.

The next day when he saw Ye Lian discussing with others, he looked confused and asked, "Did a truck overturn last night? Why didn't I know?"

……

Therefore, although Ye Lian often wakes up at night, she usually does not wake up Cao Xueqian and only watches his sleeping face quietly.

Tonight, Ye Lian couldn't bear to wake up Cao Xueqian.

But she didn't dare to get up, she was afraid. She wanted Cao Xueqian to go outside and see what was going on.

"Qian, Qian!" Ye Lian whispered in Cao Xueqian's ear.

Cao Xueqian snorted, opened his eyes, and asked drowsily: "What's wrong?"

"Husband, there are noises outside and I can't sleep." Ye Lian's voice was soft and delicate.

"Where is the sound?" Cao Xueqian woke up immediately.

Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian to listen.

Cao Xueqian then pricked up his ears and listened.

There was a sound, a very small sound that you couldn't even hear if you weren't paying attention.

Regardless of it? That's impossible.

My wife's sleep is a big deal, and there must be zero tolerance for any sound, even a small one.

Cao Xueqian rolled over and got up.

He walked out of the bedroom, went to the middle of the living room, and looked around.

Nothing unusual, no sound.

Cao Xueqian listened carefully again, searching for the rustling sounds with his ears.

heard it.

The sound came from behind him, at the corner of the living room and master bedroom.

Cao Xueqian walked over and laughed dumbly.

It turned out to be the two turtles. They kept crawling up the glass wall at night. They climbed a little and then fell down. They climbed a little and then fell down.

Bold turtle! He interfered with the mistress's sleep. What crime should be committed?

Let's do this. Death crimes can be forgiven, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. As a punishment, you can drink the northwest wind on the balcony.

Cao Xueqian also felt funny in his heart, and he was quite aggrieved by the two turtles.

How can we get into trouble if we just raise our voices? Can’t stay in the living room anymore?

Cao Xueqian moved the turtle tank out of the living room and placed it on the balcony. He returned to the living room and closed the sliding door between the balcony and the living room tightly.

He walked to the bedroom door and listened with sharp ears again, but this time he heard no sound.

You're done, you can hand over the work.

"How is it? Can you still hear the sound?" Cao Xueqian asked Ye Lian back in the bedroom.

Ye Lian listened carefully again and found that it was really gone.

"It was the two turtles crawling against the glass wall that made the sound. I have moved them to the balcony." Cao Xueqian explained to Ye Lian.

"Thank you, husband." Ye Lian's face was full of approval.

"How can I thank you? Give me a kiss?" Cao Xueqian didn't waste the opportunity.

Ye Lianfang was overjoyed and naturally very happy. She gave Cao Xueqian a sweet kiss with a "pop" sound.

Cao Xueqian, with the fragrance lingering on his lips and full of joy, took Ye Lian into his arms and continued to sleep. Within a minute, his slight snoring could be heard again.

Ye Lian's gentle call can make him wake up in seconds, and fall back to sleep in seconds after completing the task.

He falls asleep in seconds and falls asleep in seconds. Ye Lian jokingly calls him the "god of sleep".

……

In the morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang, Ye Lian opened her eyes, rolled over and opened the curtains.

The room was suddenly filled with morning light and became bright.

Cao Xueqian also opened his eyes.

"Lotus." is the first word Cao Xueqian calls out every morning.

"Huh?" Ye Lian looked at Cao Xueqian.

"Did you fall asleep last night?" This is a question Cao Xueqian must ask every morning.

Ye Lian nodded: "I fell asleep. I fell asleep without any sound. I slept outside the night before yesterday. I'm not used to it and didn't sleep well. I was actually very sleepy last night."

"As long as you fall asleep." Cao Xueqian smiled happily.

Ye Lian also smiled.

It's great that there is such a person who always worries about whether she sleeps well or not.
