Chapter 499: Used to Sleeping While Holding Each Other

After they were full, it was already past 8:00 PM.

Xia Nuannuan took the initiative to take on the arduous task of cleaning up the mess and washing the dishes, letting Qin Tian and Lao Xia go rest.

After these two apartments were renovated, this was also Lao Xia's first time coming over.

Qin Tian took Lao Xia to casually tour each room and explained his various designs and ideas when he was renovating.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

The two returned to the sofa in the living room, and Qin Tian asked with a smile.

"Good, it's all very good. I didn't expect you, Xiao Qin, to not only be good at clothing design, but your house renovation design is also very impressive!"

Xia Zhengping praised with a beaming smile.

"No, I just read some books in this area, and then just did it according to my own ideas."

Qin Tian smiled modestly.

"That's enough, I think it's very good. Is the renovation of Nuan Nuan's apartment the same?"

"Mm, the two sides only differ in color tone; the renovation style and layout are about the same."

"That's fine!"

Lao Xia nodded repeatedly in approval and said with a chuckle: "If I had known you had this ability, I would have handed over the design of those stores of mine to you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, yours is much more complicated than this, it still needs professionals. I'm just a layman, so forget it!"

"If you are overly modest all the time, it's a bit suspicious of showing off!"

"I really don't!"

"How have you two been at school lately?"

Lao Xia took a sip of tea and changed the subject.

"It's been very fulfilling. Nuan Nuan has been getting her driver's license with her roommate recently, and they'll be taking the Subject Three exam in a few days. In our spare time, we've also been preparing for the CET-4 and CET-6 English exams together, and occasionally go to the club to play tennis."

Qin Tian gave a brief report on the recent situation.

Lao Xia nodded with a satisfied smile.

Afterwards, the two watched TV and chatted aimlessly.

Before long, Xia Nuannuan walked over with a platter of cut fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of them.

"Dad, have some fruit."

"Alright!"

Lao Xia responded with a beaming smile and picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick.

Xia Nuannuan sat down beside Qin Tian and asked casually: "Dad, you can't drive after drinking. I've already tidied up the guest bedroom on my side for you. Why don't you sleep in my room and leave tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Xia's action of eating the apple paused slightly, and he feigned indifference as he agreed: "Sure, are you going to sleep there too?"

"Of course, I've always slept in the master bedroom there!"

A blush flashed across Xia Nuannuan's pretty face, and she answered with a feigned expression of it being a matter of course.

Qin Tian looked at his nose and his heart, watching the TV with a focused expression.

In fact, since they moved in, Xia Nuannuan had basically never lived there.

Now, in the wardrobe of the master bedroom in this apartment, their various clothes were all kept together.

Knowing that Lao Xia was coming over today and might stay here, Xia Nuannuan had already tidied up that side in advance.

Including the bed and wardrobe in her master bedroom, she had disguised it to look like someone had been living there all along.

After all, she was a daughter he had raised for so many years, so Lao Xia naturally noticed the strangeness in his precious daughter's expression, and he didn't know if it was because she had eaten too much just now, but he felt inexplicably choked up in his heart.

In fact, he had already heard from his wife that this fresh, tender cabbage of his had already been eaten clean by this former pig-headed boy.

However, knowing was one thing, and he had accepted Qin Tian, but confirming this fact in person at this moment still left him with very complicated feelings.

Before he knew it, the time reached 10:00 PM.

Lao Xia had been busy all day, and he had eaten too much for dinner and enjoyed the wine, so once he calmed down, he felt sleepiness sweeping over him.

"Nuan Nuan, Uncle, why don't you two go over and get some rest early!"

Seeing Lao Xia yawn several times in a row, Qin Tian suggested.

"It's fine, it's still early!"

Lao Xia yawned again while shaking his head.

"Dad, your yawning is scary, let's go!"

Xia Nuannuan stood up and said.

"Alright!"

Lao Xia didn't refuse anymore and stood up as well.

Qin Tian also followed them out and saw them to the door across the hall.

After Xia Nuannuan took out the key and opened the door, the three of them entered the house.

They first came to the guest bedroom. After opening the door, Xia Nuannuan pressed the switch next to it and turned on the light.

This guest bedroom was originally intended to be a guest room, and the wallpaper and main color tone were completely different from Xia Nuannuan's master bedroom.

The things on the bed had also been laid out.

"Dad, the sheets and pillowcases have all been washed, and no one has used them. I just laid them out this afternoon."

Xia Nuannuan said with a smile.

"Good, good, it looks like I'll be able to have a good night's sleep tonight."

Lao Xia nodded repeatedly with a chuckle.

"Uncle, then I'll head back first, you get some rest early."

Qin Tian said.

"Alright, you go ahead, you should also wash up and sleep early."

Xia Zhengping nodded at him.

Qin Tian responded with a smile, said goodnight to Xia Nuannuan on the side, and returned to his apartment.

After taking a shower and turning off the TV and lights in the living room, Qin Tian returned to his room and lay on the bed, preparing to sleep.

After a while, he turned over, grabbed the pillow Xia Nuannuan often slept on, stuffed it into the quilt, and held it tightly.

During this time, whenever he slept at home, he had always had warmth and softness in his arms. Now that he was alone again, he really wasn't used to not holding something.

Of course, a pillow wasn't as comfortable as holding Nuan Nuan, which led to Qin Tian suddenly being unable to fall asleep.

"Ding-dong!"

A message notification sound suddenly rang from the phone placed beside the pillow.

Now that WeChat was becoming more and more popular, the two of them also used it to contact each other. Their nicknames were the same as in the game, still "Nuan Nuan Little Sun" and "Qingtian."

Nuan Nuan Little Sun: "Brother, I can't sleep, what should I do?"

Seeing this WeChat message, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly typed a reply.

Qingtian: "I can't sleep either!"

"Why is that?"

"You tell me why?"

"How would I know!"

"Because I'm used to holding you while sleeping, and you've also gotten used to falling asleep while being held by me."

After more than ten seconds, the other side replied.

"I'm not, I'm just not sleepy, I just don't have any sleepiness!"

Xia Nuannuan refused to admit it and attached a cartoon emoji of a little girl kicking a dog.

Qingtian: "Then I'm used to it, okay? Why don't you sneak over to sleep?"

Nuan Nuan Little Sun: "What are you talking about? Lao Xia is right next door 【angry】 【angry】!"

Qingtian: "Walk out of the room quietly. If there's snoring, sneaking over should be fine."

Nuan Nuan Little Sun: "I don't want to, if I get caught, I'll really have no face to see anyone."

"It won't happen. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning, and you can sneak back."

"No, I refuse!"

"Nuan Nuan, come over, I can't sleep without you!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I'm already asleep, don't bother me."
