After the cannon fodder mission was completed, the younger male protagonist went crazy

It might be because of his experience, or it might be because of a strong desire - he didn't want to lose his composure in front of Mr. Chen.

This time, he spoke extremely well, without any vibrato or pause.

Very smooth, very natural.

"Well, it's me."

The voice with a low and slightly hoarse tone is Mr. Chen.

These three words were like a stone thrown into the middle of a lake, creating ripples.

The corners of his eyes unconsciously curled up a little, and Qiao Wenzhou responded softly, "Yeah." As if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

There is no intention of blaming, but rather it is filled with deep concern.

His heart felt hot and Qiao Wenzhou's breathing suddenly became disordered.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Qiao Wenzhou quickly shook his head, but then he remembered that the other party couldn't see, so he said, "No."

An overly hasty denial would only make things more obvious.

So he added, "No, I'm not afraid."

He wasn't lying, he really wasn't afraid.

The other person's long breathing could be heard through the phone, and my panicked heart gradually calmed down in the relaxation.

He knew that he was not alone.

So, why the fear?

On the contrary, not only was he not afraid, he even felt at ease.

Because Chen Xingzhu...his wife...

A hot breath spread from the depths of the heart and instantly extended to every corner of the body.

His fingers trembled and curled up because of the breath, but his grip on the phone did not weaken at all.

Just at this moment, a soothing and concerned voice came from the phone, mixed with a hint of gentle tenderness, "It's late, go to bed."

With the tip of his tongue pressing against the roof of his mouth, an affirmative response almost came out of his mouth.

No, he didn't want to sleep yet, he wanted to hear the other person's voice again.

He thought that this was not an excessive request and Mr. Chen would definitely agree to it.

As long as he says it.

but……

His little finger trembled slightly, and Qiao Wenzhou pursed his lips.

He couldn't tell.

It’s not because I’m thin-skinned and can’t say it.

But it was because he heard it, he heard the hint of fatigue in the other person's voice.

Indeed, it is very late and Mr. Chen should rest.

The tip of his tongue relaxed, and Qiao Wenzhou responded softly, "Well, OK, Mr. Chen, you should take a rest quickly."

For some reason, there seemed to be silence on the other end. There was no response, and the call was not hung up.

As for Qiao Wenzhou, he did not warn them out loud, but listened to the sounds and movements over there almost greedily.

He even longed for it in his heart, he hoped that time would go slower and slower.

That way, he wouldn't return to a night alone so quickly.

"Wenzhou, I mean, it's late, you should rest."

Ripples appeared in the lake of his heart. This was an answer that Qiao Wenzhou had never imagined.

Unexpected, but very touching.

He thought that he might like the other person more than he expected.

Otherwise, why would he almost tremble because of such a simple sentence?

His breathing suddenly became heavy, and he swallowed, "Okay, I understand, thank you Mr. Chen."

Just this one sentence took up all his strength.

The call should have ended at this point.

But Qiao Wenzhou couldn't bear to do so, he didn't want to hang up.

He wanted to stay a little longer, even for a minute or a second.

However, a minute passed and the phone was still not hung up.

Qiao Wenzhou frowned slightly, a little surprised.

What’s going on? Why hasn’t Mr. Chen hung up the phone yet?

Is...something happened?

His heart tightened and he wanted to ask immediately.

But then, the corners of his lips paused.

Maybe, it’s because Mr. Chen has fallen asleep?

He listened.

It was very quiet over there, without any noisy sound, only the soothing and slow breath.

After exhaling, Qiao Wenzhou's body gradually relaxed.

It turns out that he really fell asleep.

Putting the phone close to his ear, Qiao Wenzhou slowly closed his eyes.

It's late, and it's time for him to rest.

Accompanied by the gentle breathing over there, Qiao Wenzhou slowly fell asleep.

……

Here, Chen Xingzhu, who was already fast asleep, suddenly stood up with a somersault, startling the system deep in his consciousness.

The melon seeds in his claws scattered all over the ground, and the system suddenly looked at Chen Xingzhu.

what happened?

Could it be that it was caught eating melon seeds?

Squinting through a narrow gap, Chen Xingzhu staggered out of bed.

The arc and amplitude made the system doubt whether Chen Xingzhu would fall headfirst to the ground in the next second.

It turns out that the system overthought.

Although his body was about to sway like a tumbler, Chen Xingzhu still stood firmly.

After getting out of bed, Chen Xingzhu walked to the clothes rack in an S shape and took out the medicine box from his pocket.

The system breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was time to take medicine.

The next second, it watched Chen Xingzhu swallow a handful of pills in one gulp, then staggered onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a second.

system:……

This... doesn't this guy need to drink water when taking medicine? !

The answer to this question is already very clear.

The system's jaw dropped in shock, and it felt a slight bitterness in its mouth. Even the melon seeds in its hand no longer smelled fragrant.

Forget it, I won’t eat it anymore. The system put away the melon seeds and then slowly closed its eyes.

Ugh, so sleepy...

One person, one system, and together they fall into a peaceful sleep.

It was not until the next morning when the sunlight poured into the room through the glass that Chen Xingzhu slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Chen Xingzhu screamed, "Oh no!"

The system rubbed its sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu sat up instantly, [I forgot to take my medicine last night!]

System: [Oh, medicine, you have already taken it.]

Chen Xingzhu: [? ]

System: [Please watch the VCR.]

The playback, which lasted less than a minute, clearly recorded the entire process of him taking the medicine, and Chen Xingzhu felt instantly at ease.

So, after thanking the system, Chen Xingzhu lay down again, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to take a nap.

The system's mouth twitched, [You...you don't plan to go to the hospital?]

Chen Xingzhu didn't even open his eyes, "Go ahead."

System: [Why don’t you get up quickly?]

Chen Xingzhu turned over, still with his eyes closed, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early."

System: [……] Okay, as long as you are happy.

Two hours later, a pig-slaughtering howl was heard from the room.

[Ahhhhhh! It’s already ten o’clock! Why didn’t the system call me! !]

System: [Please watch the VCR.]

Why are you panicking...it's still early...

Chen Xingzhu: [……]Ah, so embarrassing.

He quickly turned his head to look for it.

System: [What are you doing?]

Chen Xingzhu: [Looking for my phone, I have to explain to Qiao Wenzhou right away.]

As he spoke, he lifted the pillow and pulled back the quilt.

Strange, where is the cell phone?

System: [How do you intend to explain?]

Chen Xingzhu was now concentrating on finding his phone. As for the system problem, he casually replied, "Just say I have a stomachache."
