As soon as Han Shangzheng finished speaking, the atmosphere on the other end of the phone suddenly became gloomy.

After a long silence, Han Shangzheng spoke first.

"What I want to say is that you can let nature take its course and don't have to rush for success. In fact, isn't the way you two are doing now good? She's fine physically now, and as for her mind..."

Han Shangzheng paused and said with a smile, "Anyway, it's not bad for you to be a dad-like boyfriend..."

"What daddy boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense."

They are not in a relationship of man and woman yet, and Zhang Boxuan doesn't like him making jokes about Zheng Zhihui like this.

Han Shangzheng thought he was concerned about the word "father-like" and retorted on the spot, "How am I talking nonsense? The girl has been in a coma for five years, but she still looks as fresh as she was at the age of 22, not to mention her state of mind. What about you? You are an old man in your 30s, and this is not a father-like thing?"

Zhang Boxuan's face darkened a little. "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to go on this trip, I'll call Ah Shi and tell him."

"Okay, don't count on that daughter slave." Han Shangzheng snorted and laughed, "He's still on a business trip for a month. If you call him now, he may not answer."

Xie Youshi now has a pair of three-and-a-half-year-old twin daughters. Nowadays, he basically never goes out at night and stays at home all day with his wife and daughter. Even when he and his brothers make an appointment to drink together, he will not come eight out of ten times.

Zhang Boxuan naturally knew this, so he called Han Shangzheng immediately.

"Alright, alright, I'll take this errand." Han Shangzheng said in a reluctant tone, and at the end, he didn't forget to complain, "One or two of them are busy raising their daughters, so I'm the only one with nothing to do. I'm the only one who's suitable for this hard job."

"Able people should do more work."

Zhang Boxuan said this and was not in the mood to listen to any more chatter, so he ended the call.

Han Shangzheng’s words just now made him feel even more upset.

He also knew very well that if Zheng Zhihui regained her memory, she would naturally not be so obsessed with him as she is now, and would not regard him as her closest relative in the world.

By that time, perhaps the first person she didn't want to deal with would be him.

Zhang Boxuan tossed and turned in bed. He didn't know how much time had passed. Just when he felt a little sleepy, there was a sudden "bang" and his door was pushed open.

Zhang Boxuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Thinking of something, he immediately stood up and reached out to turn on the light at the bedside.

The lights in the bedroom suddenly came on. He looked towards the door and saw Zheng Zhihui standing there with a furry doll in her arms, looking at him eagerly.

It was he who told her that she could come to his room anytime if she had any problems, but Zhang Boxuan was still caught off guard when he saw someone coming over in the middle of the night.

He stood up and walked towards her, "Xiao Hui, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?"

Zheng Zhihui looked at him and said softly, "I'm scared to be alone. I want to sleep with Brother Xuan."

Zhang Boxuan's pupils shrank, "Sleep with me?"

"Well, I want to sleep in your bed."

Zhang Boxuan, "..."

When she was in the hospital, although Zhang Boxuan stayed with her in the ward every night, Aunt Liu was also in the ward, and nurses would occasionally come in to check in the middle of the night. It was a public place, but now——

She said she wanted to sleep in the same bed with him?

Just the two of them?

Looking at her innocent eyes, Zhang Boxuan felt a little headache.

She has no awareness of the differences between men and women now, but he is very clear about it.

Although she has the mind of a five or six-year-old child, her body is that of an adult girl.

How can a single man and a single woman stay in the same room?

She doesn't understand these things now, but what about when she recovers her memory in the future?

"Xiao Hui, I'll let Aunt Liu accompany you back to your room to sleep, okay?"

After hearing Zhang Boxuan's rejection, Zheng Zhihui suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart for some reason. Before she could figure out why, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother Xuan refuses to sleep with me. Does he dislike me or despise me?"

Seeing the person suddenly crying sadly, Zhang Boxuan's heart was shocked, and his mind suddenly flashed through countless times when he deliberately rejected her kindness with a cold face.

His heart was in a mess, and he blurted out, "No, I have never disliked you or disliked you."

Zheng Zhihui hugged the baby in her arms and looked up at the tall man, "Then why don't you want to sleep with me?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but..."

Zhang Boxuan pulled her to sit on the sofa, squatted at her feet and patiently explained to her, "Xiao Hui, you are a girl, and I am a man. Men and women cannot sleep together, do you know that?"

Zheng Zhihui looked at him with puzzled eyes, "Why not?"

"..."

Facing those eyes that were washed by tears and revealed innocence and purity, Zhang Boxuan was choked for a moment, not knowing how to explain to her. He sighed secretly and scratched his temple helplessly.

Zheng Zhihui saw his movements and expressions and thought he was impatient. She immediately pursed her lips and started to cry:

"You still say you don't dislike me..."

"No, I really don't dislike you."

Zhang Boxuan was anxious, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, and said in a gentle and coaxing tone, "Please don't cry, okay?"

Zheng Zhihui obediently wiped away her tears, sniffed, looked at him, and asked softly, "Then can I sleep here tonight?"

Her watery eyes were filled with undisguised dependence and fear of being rejected.

Zhang Boxuan felt pity for her. Although he knew it was inappropriate, he still couldn't bear to reject her, "...Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes brightened up instantly, "That's great, I knew Brother Xuan was the best."

Zheng Zhihui immediately stood up and walked towards the big bed holding the baby.

Zhang Boxuan was still squatting there, not knowing whether it was right for him to agree to her request out of weakness.

At this moment, he began to consider whether he should wait until she fell asleep and then carry her back to the next room, or just sleep on the sofa himself for the night?

"Brother Xuan."

Zhang Boxuan came back to his senses and turned around to see Zheng Zhihui already sitting on the side of the bed. She waved at him with a smile, "Come up and sleep."

There was no trace of the delicate look on her face as she had just cried.

Sitting on my big light grey cold bed is a cute girl wearing cute pajamas and holding a doll. This feeling...

Zhang Boxuan's face flushed quietly and his heartbeat became a little unbalanced. He couldn't say "I can just sleep on the sofa". Finally, he turned around and went to the closet to get out another set of sheets.

What if I carry her back to the next room and she wakes up in fright in the middle of the night?

Each person has a quilt, and even if they sleep in the same bed, as long as there is no physical contact, it should be... fine.

Zhang Boxuan convinced himself.

When he walked to the bed with the quilt in his arms, he saw Zheng Zhihui lying on the other side of the bed, carefully covering the baby sleeping beside her with the quilt that he had used to cover her.

Looking at her actions, Zhang Boxuan shook his head with amusement, spread the quilt in his hand on his side, and then got into bed.

He lay down and was just about to turn sideways to say something to Zheng Zhihui when a warm and soft body came close to him.

Zhang Boxuan's body suddenly froze. He turned his head and saw that Zheng Zhihui had already crawled under his quilt and was clinging to him without any reservation, with her hand on his waist.

"..."? ? ?

So when she said she wanted to sleep with him, did she mean she wanted to hold him in her arms while sleeping?

Zhang Boxuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became a little hoarse, "Xiao Hui, you are like this..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl yawned, put her face on his shoulder, and said lazily, "Good night, Brother Xuan."

"..."

The room was so quiet that Zhang Boxuan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

The girl's sweet breath gently touched his neck, making him feel hot all over.

Zhang Boxuan took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and closed his eyes in forbearance.

After all, he is a mature man in his thirties.

The person he likes is right beside him. Even though she has the mind of a child, her body is mature. It is impossible for him not to have some thoughts.

He restrained himself until he felt the girl's breathing become long and she fell asleep. Then he tried to gently pull away her hand that was on his waist and put some distance between them.

Then he just raised the slender arm an inch, and the girl seemed to sense it. She groaned and climbed towards him even harder using her hands and feet.

"Uh huh~"

The leg hit the vital part of his lower abdomen accurately.

Zhang Boxuan groaned in pain and his body couldn't help but hunch over.

He frowned and gasped in pain, enduring the pain. With the help of the dim bedside lamp, he glanced sideways and saw a certain little ancestor sleeping soundly.
