Lu Suo nodded. He took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed without any hesitation. After that, he looked at everyone and said innocently, “Come, let’s sleep together.”
Song Ci could not help but smile.
“Okay.”
She patted Song Yujin’s head and said, “You should get on the bed too.”
Song Yujin took off his slippers and did as he was told.!!
Subsequently, Song Ci followed suit. She lifted the blanket and laid down.
Lu Gan’s bed was very big. Even with four people, it did not feel crowded at all.
Lu Suo tilted his head and looked at Lu Gan who was on his left, then at Song Yujin and Song Ci who was on his right. He felt very excited and any sleepiness was immediately expelled.
“I want to listen to a story. Is that possible?”
Lu Suo asked Lu Gan. Afterward, he looked at Song Ci.
Lu Gan wanted to improve Lu Suo and Song Ci’s relationship. So, he replied, “Alright. Song Ci, tell them a story.”
“Give me a moment to think.”
Song Ci leaned against Song Yujin and thought to herself for a while. These children were probably not interested in childish stories like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs”.
In the end, Song Ci decided to tell the story of “Calabash Babies”. She cleared her throat and began to narrate. When she got to the part where the fifth baby was captured by a snake spirit, Lu Suo’s eyes began to close and he soon fell asleep.
Song Yujin listened and looked at Song Ci. She was still telling the story. This was not the first time Song Yujin had heard Song Ci tell stories. A few days before they moved into Lu Gan’s house, Song Ci often slept with Song Yujin and would tell him stories every night.
At this moment, Song Yujin could feel Lu Suo’s body temperature and breathe. Lu Gan would ask questions occasionally, but it was mostly Song Ci talking. His sister’s story was pretty good.
After a while, Song Yujin also slowly closed his eyes. He could vaguely hear about the sixth baby being taken away. How could someone let something so atrocious happen? The Calabash brothers should have worked together. That way, they could save the babies! They really lacked common knowledge.
Song Yujin fell asleep and dreamt that he was one of the Calabash brothers, changing the outcome of the story.
When Song Ci saw that both children were asleep, she stopped telling the story. Then, she looked at Lu Gan and said softly, “They’re asleep.”
“We should sleep too,”
Lu Gan replied.
Song Ci nodded and was about to turn off the lights.
Suddenly, Lu Gan asked, “Aren’t you coming over to my side?”
Song Ci was stunned for a moment.
As for Lu Gan, he smiled while gently lifting a corner of the blanket.
Song Ci felt restless. Nonetheless, she teased, “Are you unable to sleep without me?”
Lu Gan laughed.
“It’s the opposite. Don’t be stubborn. Come on.”
“Don’t you feel like a perverted old man right now? Luring innocent children into a trap…”
Song Ci chuckled.
“Are you coming over or not?”
Lu Gan asked again.
Song Ci raised her chin.
“I’ll think about it.”
Lu Gan laughed.
“Take your time.”
After saying that, Lu Gan turned around and laid down.
Song Ci got off the bed. However, she could not hide the smile on her face while quietly walking to Lu Gan’s side.
Lu Gan raised his eyebrows and snorted.
“Huh? You’re done thinking already? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”
“You’ve already extended a warm invitation. I have to reluctantly agree.”
Song Ci had a prideful look on her face.
Lu Gan’s heart was tickled by her attitude. He silently lifted the blanket.
Song Ci crawled into Lu Gan’s arms and hugged him. She looked at Lu Gan with a gentle expression. It was a little embarrassing, but she also felt happy. Clearly, she was falling for him.
Lu Gan looked at her bright eyes and smiled.
“Am I that good-looking? How long are you going to stare at me?”
