The heart-shaped sconces on the walls glow softly and warmly illuminate the room.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the "ticking" of the grandfather clock and the crackling of the keyboard.

In front of the square computer desk, Su Qianai, who was wearing pajamas, was staring at the laptop screen wholeheartedly, and lines of words appeared on the screen quickly.

Suddenly, "dang...... When ......" four long bells rang, Su Qianai, who had been concentrating on code words, looked at the time displayed in the lower right corner of the notebook, and sure enough, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

She stretched her waist, then casually touched the phone in the corner of the table, clicked on a number and dialed it, and after a few seconds, a pleasant song began to ring on the phone.

Halfway through the song, a soft male voice came over: "Huh? ”

"Did you sleep soundly?" Su Qianai asked slowly.

"Well, what's the matter?" The tone of the male voice was mixed with a bit of annoyance.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid that you won't sleep in the right position after going to the toilet, so I'm here to remind you." Su Qianai hid the laughter that was about to overflow, and said this in a very concerned tone.

"Thank you for your concern, you should also rest, women stay up late and hurt their skin, it will be easy to get old." Cheng Yining's faint yawning voice came from the phone.

"Anyway, we're all engaged, and we're going to get married in the future, whether my skin is good or not, whether I'm old or not, you're going to marry me, aren't you?" Su Qianai snickered secretly, this was the fourth call to him tonight, and when she heard that there was no movement over there, she quickly raised her voice again, "Hey, you're not asleep!" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yining's voice became a little muffled again.

It is estimated that the person on the other end of the phone is about to fall asleep again, Su Qianai decisively hung up the phone, and then called back, and sure enough, after a while, the voice on the phone became louder: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I just can't sleep, I miss you, I want to hear your voice." Su Qianai said into the phone without a red face.

"I've listened to it now."

"It's not enough. Anyway, you're asleep now, and I can't sleep, so why don't you tell me a joke. Su Qianai was lying on the bed, with her legs crossed on the silk quilt on the side, but she looked comfortable.

"Miss, it's four o'clock in the morning! How many people don't sleep at four in the morning to tell jokes? This in itself is a joke. Over there, Cheng Yining's tone was obviously impatient.

"Since it's not a joke, let's guess the brain teaser. Okay, I'll come first, and I'll give you a very simple guess: Xiao Ming's mother gave birth to three sons, and the eldest is called Da Mao ......"

"Su Qianai!" Cheng Yining suddenly shouted her name heavily on the phone.

"Well, yes, it's past four o'clock now, so you have a good rest, you have to go to work tomorrow." Remember to miss me when you sleep. Su Qianai pretended to be very considerate and soft, and then before Cheng Yining could say anything, she hung up the phone, then threw the phone aside, covered her head with a silk quilt and burst into laughter.

In the past few nights, as long as twelve o'clock has passed, she will call Cheng Yining every other hour, sometimes calling him to get up to drink water, sometimes calling him to get up and go to the toilet, or pulling him to tell jokes with her, or guessing brain teasers, but Cheng Yining is tossed enough.

Last night, she found that Cheng Yining turned off her phone and went to sleep, and called Cheng Guodong's phone early this morning, saying that Cheng Yining's phone couldn't get through all night last night, saying that she was very worried about him and didn't know what happened to him. Then he called Cheng Yining and told him that if he couldn't get through to him at night in the future, he would call their landline and ask his parents to see what was wrong with him.

And Cheng Yining really didn't turn off the phone tonight, Su Qianai didn't know if her threatening words played a role, or if Cheng Guodong put some pressure on her son. But she doesn't care about these processes, what she cares about is the result.

She has been staying at home for the past few days and has not gone anywhere. Every day during the day, she had to sleep until noon before getting up, and after eating, she wrote her own novels by heart, and in the middle of the night, she began to make these harassing phone calls again, she just wanted to see how much patience Cheng Yining had.

Anyway, he doesn't like himself, so he doesn't have to pretend to be anything in front of him now.

"Huh." Su Qianai yawned herself, and saw that it was already more than four o'clock, seeing that her results in codewords tonight were good, she clicked to close the window, turned off the notebook, and then got up to wash her face and prepare for sleep.

Before going to bed, she put her phone on silent, and with a good mood, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The sun was already high in the sky, and Ying Ruomin quietly pushed open the door of her daughter's room, and found that it was dark inside, only a few thin rays of sunlight slipped in through the cracks in the curtains that had not yet been closed, as if to tell people that the sky was already bright.

With this light, Ying Ruomin saw that her daughter was still lying on the bed with her head covered and sleeping soundly, she walked to the window, opened the curtains, and let the large light fill the whole room, then came to the bedside, sat down slowly, gently uncovered the quilt covering her head, and then leaned down and called softly to her daughter's ear: "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai!" ”

"Huh?" Su Qianai, who was blinded by the strong light, opened her eyes in a daze, looked at her smiling mother, yawned and asked, "Mom, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's time to get up for lunch, Ai." Ying Ruomin sat down at the head of the bed, patted her daughter's little face gently, and said with a smile.

Su Qianai turned sideways slightly, glanced at the clock with half-squinted eyes, and sure enough, it was already past twelve o'clock, so she stretched her waist lazily, but she turned over, she couldn't hold back, and her eyes closed again.

"Little lazy cat, it's twelve o'clock and you can't get up yet, look where you can find a little cat that is lazier than our Xiao Ai." Ying Ruomin reached out and pinched Su Qianai's face, making her wake up again, "Your father just called to ask if you got up and if you ate on time." Don't let your dad worry too much. ”

Hearing her mother say this, Su Qianai stretched a few times on the bed and yawned a few times, then slowly got up, walked to the bathroom, walked to the door and turned around to Ying Ruomin with a cute smile that was no longer confused: "Mom, you eat first, I'll go down in a while." ”

Ying Ruomin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs." ”

After hurriedly washing, bunching her hair, changing into a set of simple casual clothes, and feeling energetic, Su Qianai rushed downstairs, and when she walked downstairs, she saw that her mother had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to eat together.

Su Qianai knew that her father and brother would not come back for dinner at noon, so in order not to let her mother be lonely, she had to accompany her mother to lunch every day.

However, in the past few days, because of "something" at night, she has gone to bed late every night and can't get up on time for a while.

"Xiao Ai, Mrs. Sang and Mrs. Li are going to come over to play mahjong with me in a while, but my mother is a little unwell today, and I don't want to ruin their fun, or you can play with them on behalf of your mother today." While eating, Ying Ruomin said while helping Su Qianai pick up vegetables.

"Huh? I, I don't remember how to play mahjong now. Su Qianai choked on a mouthful of food and shook her head again and again.

"It's okay, Mom can teach you on the side. Alas, you used to play mahjong with your mother, and then you would discuss various ways to play mahjong with your mother, but now you are not interested in mahjong, and your mother feels that there are fewer common topics with you. Alas, Xiao Ai, your father and brother are busy with work, and I don't have much to say, and now even you have a sense of distance between you and your mother, and your mother feels that she is a dispensable person in this family. Ying Ruomin said and sighed slightly.

"No, no, mom isn't like that." Su Qianai hurriedly waved her hand, and hurriedly comforted her mother, who looked a little sad, "I, either, or my mother will teach me to play." ”

Su Qianai looked at her mother in front of her, and suddenly felt that she was a little pitiful.

Indeed, in this family, my father and brother are very busy every day, only I am the most idle, but because I am busy coding my own novels, I almost go upstairs after eating, and I don't have much to accompany my mother.

Although she didn't quite accept her mother's behavior of playing mahjong.

As soon as she finished eating, Su Qianai honestly followed her mother to the chess and card room, because it was still early, and the few people who played mahjong had not yet come.

Ying Ruomin turned on the switch of the automatic mahjong machine, put a pair of mahjong on the table, and began to talk to Su Qianai about the rules of mahjong: "Xiao Ai, the mahjong in our N city is different from the general Sichuan mahjong and Taiwan mahjong. We play mahjong is one hundred and thirty-six cards to do, each person touches thirteen cards, the dealer has to play the cards first, so the dealer is fourteen cards. After drawing the cards, the dealer throws the dice to determine the fine ......"

Ying Ruomin put the mahjong out as she spoke, and showed it to Su Qianai the same: "Xiao Ai, look, this is Pinghu, this is the thirteenth unit, and this is the seven pairs of ......."

Su Qianai held her chin and looked at the constantly changing mahjong, her eyes slowly began to bloom, she really couldn't figure out how Zhuge Liang could invent such a complex game, and so many people liked to play!

What's all the fun about this? It's just boring!

Just looking at her excited mother, she really didn't want to ruin her interest.

Just when Su Qianai was dizzy and Ying Ruomin was talking with relish again, three card friends came one after another.
