At the company's year-end party this night, Zhou Qi came back at more than eleven o'clock, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, but his eyes were clear. Jian Yi rarely didn't sleep, and was still looking through the book in the bedroom, waiting for him to come back.

In the courtyard, he had already seen the lamp in the house on, and thought that Jian Yi had forgotten to turn it off. At this time, he gently pushed open the door, and when he saw that Jian Yi was still sitting, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I slept too much during the day, and I couldn't sleep." Concise answer.

The smell of cigarettes and alcohol all over her body, worried that it would smoke her, went to take a bath first. When she came out of the bathroom refreshed, Jian Yi was still sitting, but she wasn't reading, and she didn't know what she was thinking in a daze.

He wiped his hair haphazardly, stepped forward, and asked, "What's wrong?" I'm preoccupied." He said and rubbed Jian Yi's head.

The water on his hair hadn't dried yet, and when he lowered his head, it fell on Jian Yi***'s skin, she was so cold that she shivered, looked up at him, and said, "Why did your hair come out without blow-drying?"

Zhou Qi wiped the dripping water droplets for her with his fingertips, his fingers were warm and delicate, and his eyebrows were raised, "The fire is big, it's not cold."

Jian Yi's face was slightly hot, and he avoided his hand uncomfortably, and said angrily, "Can you think of something normal in your head?"

Zhou Qi picked up a towel and wiped his hair carelessly, then went to bed like this, and said with a smile: "If I don't even think about this, it's not normal." He didn't touch Jian Yi right away, and waited for his body to warm up before touching her belly through his pajamas, and asked, "Is the little guy good today?"

Now that there is fetal movement, the little one will occasionally bulge into a small bag in his belly. The first time he saw it, he thought it was magical, and the baby's screaming kept coming.

"Pretty good." Jian Yi replied and asked, "Is it officially a holiday tomorrow?"

Zhou nodded, reached out and took her into his arms, and asked, "I usually sleep a lot and I haven't seen you fall asleep at night, what's wrong today?" Uncomfortable?"

Jian Yi replied no, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom came over today."

Zhou Qi thought she was talking about Jian Lan, but he didn't care, just hummed and lowered his head to kiss her.

Jian Yi stopped him in time and added, "Your mother."

Zhou Qi's movements paused, let go of her, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What is she doing here?"

"I sent a lot of New Year's goods." Jian Yi observed the look on his face and saw that he had not changed much, and then continued, "She said that she wants to help take care of the baby after it is born, is it okay?"

Zhou Qi reached out and pinched her ear, noncommittal, and said, "Didn't you leave these things alone?"

"No, she suddenly brought it up when she came over today." Jane Yi is a little stumbling.

Zhou Qi didn't reproach her, smiled slightly, and said, "Little Ah Yi, sometimes soft-heartedness will bring endless trouble to yourself."

Jian Yi didn't understand what he meant, and looked at her blankly.

Zhou Qi sighed and said, "You promised her, what are you going to do if you ask to come over in the future?" Should I refuse or should I go?"

Jian Yi didn't expect this stubble at all, and couldn't help but be stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Probably not, right?"

Her tone wasn't sure. She didn't think that Li Su would offer to help take care of the children, if she let Granny Qian and her current mother-in-law get together, she would feel big just thinking about it.

Zhou Qi's eyes were cold and indifferent, and he reached out to play with her black hair hanging down behind her back, and said, "There is nothing impossible, since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who are icing on the cake."

His father had always been the best at doing the rudder, fearing that his mother would sow discord in the middle, and once he knew that her mother was going to take care of the child, he would inevitably let Li Su come over. He didn't want Jane Yi to get involved in all this mess.

There was no emotion in his tone, and even though his relationship with his parents had eased a lot, he still couldn't get close to them, and he never thought of them as family.

Jian Yi was a little sorry that she had brought up this topic, and just about to say something, Zhou Qi rubbed her head and said, "Yourself

Just call the shots, and let her come if you want her to come."

"I just think she's lonely." She hesitated for a moment, then said softly.

Song Weihe has a new family and children, and she is alone, and her only child is Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was silent, did not speak, and said after dozens of seconds; "Then let her come." He didn't want to continue the topic, reached out and patted Jian Yi's head, and said, "Go to sleep, if you don't sleep so late, be careful that the little guy will mess with you."

Jian Yi nodded and lay down. The scent of the shower gel on his body was familiar and reassuring, and she fell asleep in his arms not long after.

Zhou Qi couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and when she fell asleep, she got up and smoked a cigarette, and then lay down on the bed.

The next day was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the downstairs began to be busy early in the morning. Jian Yi slept late at night, and he slept very deeply at this time. Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile slightly, kissed her on the forehead, and went downstairs lightly.

It was rare for him to sleep lazily, and Aunt Xiaolou Qing said when she saw him, "Why did you get up so early, didn't you make a noise?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said no, I am used to this time, and I can't sleep anymore. He had always been a good pleaser, asking if there was anything he could do to help.

There are more than one thing in this house that needs his help, cleaning the windows, cleaning the yard, and writing couplets and pasting couplets later.

I have hardly participated in such a lively week, and in the past, when my grandfather was there, these things in the old house were completed by servants. And after his grandfather died, the New Year's holiday was the same as usual for him, and he never cared about these things.

The most idle thing in this day is Jian Yi, she doesn't have to do anything, whenever she wants to help do something, Aunt Qing always stops her in time and lets her watch from the sidelines. Although it has been three months since her, everyone is still cautious.

After cleaning up in the afternoon, the courtyard hung up red lanterns, pasted new couplets, and everywhere was full of joy, finally having the atmosphere of the New Year.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve is not as lively as last year, it is much warmer than last year. The old lady answered the New Year's call several times, and then the four of them sat around the living room to play cards. It's just that the old lady was tired before twelve o'clock, so she went to sleep with Aunt Qing first.

Today, the sound of fireworks is coming and going, and the alleys are very lively, the laughter of children, and the laughter of adults spread far and wide.
