After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

During the days of sick leave at home, Ji Zeqiu did not rest well. As soon as he fell asleep at night, he would return to the dream of curling up in the dark corner.

He tossed and turned and woke several times during the night.

"Can't you sleep?" A suppressed voice as small as a mosquito came from outside the door.

The nanny doesn't live in the apartment at night, so the person talking outside can only be Lin Xu.

Ji Zeqiu turned over and replied, "I'm already asleep."

"You're lying. How can you talk when you're asleep?" Lin Xu muttered.

Ji Zeqiu ignored her. After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door.

The knocking on the door was very rhythmic, which made people feel uneasy.

The meridians in Ji Zeqiu's temples throbbed. He impatiently stood up and opened the door. Looking at Lin Xu's face hidden in the darkness, his heart skipped a beat.

This figure seems like the person in his dream...

It's almost like...

"Did you have a nightmare and are afraid to sleep? Do you want me to coax you to sleep?" Lin Xu's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Who said I was afraid to sleep? I was sleeping soundly and you woke me up!" Ji Zeqiu shouted.

"I heard the noise in your bedroom from the bathroom. You couldn't sleep, so could you be sleepwalking?" Lin Xu glared at him.

She drank too much water today and got up two or three times in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Every time she could hear noises coming from his bedroom.

Finally, I couldn't help but come to see him.

Ji Zeqiu's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but fortunately it was not obvious in the dim night. "Yes, it was sleepwalking."

"Oh~" Lin Xu smiled, "I've lived here for so long, but this is the first time I've heard of you sleepwalking."

"I don't sleepwalk every day. It just happened to happen today. Is that okay?" Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Ji Zeqiu's cheeks turned even redder and he said angrily.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you." Lin Xu pushed his body back to the bed.

After two or three moves, Ji Zeqiu was half-pushed down on the bed and covered with a quilt.

"I'll be right next to you, don't worry about having nightmares. I'll come back after you fall asleep. Go to sleep." Lin Xu gently patted the quilt on his chest, speaking in a soft and soothing voice.

Ji Zeqiu's depressed mood gradually calmed down with her soft voice.

Suddenly.

He remembered what Ji Tingyang said when he picked up Lin Xu at the villa.

"Don't let her put you to sleep if you can."

How did he answer then?

He would not let this woman coax him.

But what about now?

The words I said at that time were like a boomerang, hitting me.

Ji Zeqiu's cheeks burned with shame, and he struggled awkwardly, "I don't need your coaxing!"

"Be good and don't talk." Lin Xu patted his head.

"You." He wanted to say something else, but she shushed him.

Lin Xu is very skilled in coaxing children to sleep. Just a few months ago, she used this method to coax five-year-old Xiaoze Qiu to sleep.

It wasn't difficult for her.

She couldn't help but hum a lullaby, which was her favorite song when she used to hum it to coax her three children to sleep.

There were no lyrics, just humming the tune lightly and floating around the room.

Ji Zeqiu just felt like he had heard it somewhere, but where exactly?

As he was thinking, he fell asleep unknowingly.

The melody was like sunshine, illuminating his dark dreams and filling the entire room, leaving him nowhere to escape.

The whole body was warmed and comfortable by the sun.

The nightmare no longer continued and he slept soundly that night.

Wake up the next day.

Lin Xu was no longer by the bed, and no one knew when he left.

After Ji Zeqiu woke up, he lingered in the bedroom for a long time, raising his hand to open the door and then putting it down again, but he never dared to go out and face Lin Xu.

He is such a grown man, but he still needs someone to coax him to sleep.

What if this woman laughs at me?

He hesitated for a long time, and finally walked out of the bedroom when the nanny called out, "It's time for dinner."

While eating, Ji Zeqiu lowered his eyes and did not look at Lin Xu the whole time.

It was just that when picking up the dishes, the two pairs of chopsticks touched on the plate. Ji Zeqiu subconsciously looked up at her, and then met those eyes that seemed to be smiling.

He was like a stressed kitten. Before Lin Xu could say anything, he already got angry.

"You were the one who insisted on coming in to coax me to sleep last night. I had no choice but to do it! It was not my own will!"

"Well, I forced you to do it."

He turned his head and snorted coldly.

After the sick leave ended and lunch, Ji Zeqiu got into his agent's car and continued to the crew.

Lin Xu, who had some free time, finally had time to go out for beauty treatments after her injury healed.

I also took some time to go shopping in the mall, but I didn't expect to meet the little girl again in a high-end bag store.

"I bought this bag from you. What makes you suspect it's a fake?" Ji Yuqiao slammed the table, filled with anger.

"I'm sorry, miss. We're not saying that your bag is a fake. It's just that it's too worn out and it's a very old model, so we can't recycle it." The staff explained to her.

"Then you can give me a discount. I don't mind if it's ten or twenty thousand." This bag cost more than two hundred thousand yuan when it was originally purchased.

"Sorry..." The staff member looked embarrassed.

"If you don't accept it, then call your manager over and see if he will accept it!" Ji Yuqiao fully demonstrated her unreasonableness.

Lin Xu walked over and smiled at the staff: "Although this bag is an old model, it was also limited to ten pieces worldwide at the time. This limited edition should be easy to sell. Why don't you re-evaluate the price?"

"Well... okay." Lin Xu was also a distinguished customer of this store. Hearing her say this, the staff nodded and took the bag to the backstage.

In less than a moment, the staff came out and came back.

This bag can indeed be recycled, but because it is too worn, it can only be recycled for 20,000 yuan.

This was already very good for Ji Yuqiao, so she readily accepted it.

"Thank you so much! I didn't expect that we would meet again. If it weren't for you, this bag would have been unsellable." Ji Yuqiao was very excited after receiving the money, and even invited Lin Xu to have a meal.

"No need." Lin Xu felt embarrassed to ask her to treat him.

Seeing that she is still selling bags to make ends meet, we can guess that she has not yet reconciled with her family and has little money left.

If she treats him to another meal, there will be nothing left of the 20,000 yuan. If this continues, I don’t know how many bags she will have left to sell.

"Okay." Ji Yuqiao didn't hesitate and patted his chest, feeling very happy. "Since you have helped me so many times, we are friends. You can ask me for help if you need anything in the future."

Although she didn't know what she needed help with, Lin Xu still smiled and said "OK".

"Since we are friends, let's add each other on WeChat?" Ji Yuqiao took out his cell phone.

Lin Xu also took out his cell phone.

But when Ji Yuqiao saw the photo of Lin Xu and Ji Zeqiu on the screen of his phone, his expression was suddenly shocked.
