The night was like a layer of gauze, gently covering it.
In the penthouse suite of the hotel, two adjacent doors slid open silently.
Na'er first leaned out half of his body and stepped on the wooden floor with his bare feet without making a sound.
She turned her head and met the eyes of Xu Xiaoyan on the other side. Neither of the two girls spoke, they just exchanged a brief look. That kind of tacit understanding did not require words at all.
Xu Xiaoyan raised a finger to his lips, and then pointed to Xiao Mu's room.
Na'er nodded.
The two of them just walked in tandem, like two nocturnal cats, sliding along the shadows of the corridor.
Xu Xiaoyan put his hand on the door handle and turned it very slowly. The soft sound of the lock tongue being withdrawn was particularly clear in the silence.
Xiao Mu was speechless in the room, the footsteps were so loud. The girl held her breath and pushed the door open to a gap just big enough to pass through.
There were no lights in the room, and the moonlight filtered in through the lattice of the window lattice, cutting out a few cold white spots on the floor. Xiao Mu had his back to the door and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Na'er tiptoed around to the other side of the bed, squatted down, and leaned close to his ear.
"Brother, have you slept?"
The voice was very low and a little tentative.
In the silence of the night, a clear and steady male voice immediately sounded, "Sleep."
Na'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately turned back and gestured silently towards Xu Xiaoyan at the door, with a confident tone in his voice. "Xu Xiaoyan, brother is asleep!"
The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence for two seconds.
Xu Xiaoyan was leaning against the door frame, and the bright moonlight just fell on her delicate cheeks, illuminating the clear helplessness in her eyes.
She said nothing, and one sentence was written clearly between her brows and eyes: Are you serious?
Na'er blinked in confusion, looked at Xu Xiaoyan who was speechless, and then turned to stare at Xiao Mu who was lying upright on the bed and had spoken just now.
"... Eh?"
A dull voice of doubt sounded softly.
Xu Xiaoyan Unable to hold on any longer, he turned his head away, his shoulders trembling slightly, trying to hold back his smile, but he still couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Xiao Mu slightly propped up his body and sat upright on the edge of the bed, taking a panoramic view of the two girls who sneaked into the room.
There was a hint of helpless laziness in his tone. "Why did you come to my room if you didn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Xu Xiaoyan's words were still stuck in his throat, but Na'er spoke first, with a confident tone. "I just came to play with you."
Before she finished speaking, she simply kicked off her slippers and rushed towards the bed without any scruples.
The soft mattress sank slightly, and Xiao Mu groaned softly when she hit it. Before he could reach out to lift her away, Na'er had already deftly rolled to the other side of the bed, pulled the fluffy quilt and wrapped herself tightly, curled up into a slender cotton-wool chrysalis, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, looking at him unblinkingly.
Xiao Mu tragically lost his quilt.
"Obtain the bed, first come first served." Na'er said confidently.
Xiao Mu stared at this "silkworm chrysalis" that could only blink, and took a deep breath helplessly. "This is my bed."
"Yeah." The head in the quilt nodded gently, his tone was calm and well-behaved, "That's why I want to take it."
Xu Xiaoyan at the end of the bed was eating calmly throughout the whole process, with no intention of participating in the battle for the bed. She slowly picked up Communication Soul Tool,
Aiming at the tightly wrapped Na'er, he turned on the flashlight, deliberately shining a cold white light from bottom to top, and then handed the phone to Xiao Mu.
"Black history, plus one."
On the screen, Na'er only showed a small face, which was stunned by the pale light. It looked like a round potato just dug out of the soil, funny and cute.
A muffled and anxious instruction came from the quilt. "... Delete."
Xiao Mu glanced at the funny photos, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, silently returned the phone to Xu Xiaoyan, and said lightly, "Send it to me."
"Brother! You have changed, you don't love me anymore!"
Na'er couldn't hold himself any longer for a moment, so he jumped up from the bed wrapped in quilt, like a small human-shaped cannonball, and rushed straight towards Xu Xiaoyan.
The next second, the two girls rolled into a ball on the bed, and the sound of laughter and quarrels filled the quiet room. The pillows were blown up, and the quilt was twisted into a messy twist.
Xu Xiaoyan was tickled all over, and the crisp laughter couldn't stop flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The soul communicator accidentally slipped down and was embedded between the folds of the quilt. The screen was still on, and the dull "potato face" was facing the ceiling. There was a bit of stubbornness between the blurred eyebrows and eyes, which was particularly funny.
The frolicking slowly subsided, and Xiao Mu clapped her hands in time to stop it softly. "Okay, go back to sleep."
The two people beside the bed were motionless. Na'er skillfully wrapped the quilt tightly and occupied one side, while Xu Xiaoyan obediently occupied the pillow on the other side, holding Xiao Mu's pillow against his chin, closing his eyes and whispering, "I'm not leaving."
"I'll sleep here tonight." Na'er stuck his head out and spoke in a determined tone, as if he was giving a unilateral notice.
Xiao Mu looked at the two "obstacles" on the left and right, sighed helplessly, and turned around to go to the living room to spend the night. But as soon as he raised his feet, the corner of his clothes was tightly grasped by Na'er. Xu Xiaoyan also stretched out his legs to gently press his knees, locking his retreat in a tacit understanding.
Xiao Mu was silent for three seconds, completely gave up struggling, and said helplessly, "Move to the side."
He was lying in the middle of the bed, looking at the ceiling quietly. His left hand was held in Na'er's arms, and his right shoulder was pressed against Xu Xiaoyan's soft forehead.
The gentle moonlight shines through the window lattice, making the room quiet, gentle and warm.
The night was getting darker, and Xiao Mu had no choice but to fall asleep like this.
The next morning, the sky was bright and clear.
The door was gently pushed open, and Gu Yue happened to be walking slowly from the corridor, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.
I saw Xiao Mu walking out first with a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, his face looking tired and his eyes full of exhaustion.
Behind him were a sleepy Na'er, and a sleeping Xu Xiaoyan with messy blue hair.
Gu Yue's clear eyes slowly swept over the three of them, with a hint of amusement in their eyes.
Xiao Mu looked haggard as if he had not slept all night. On the other hand, Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan were rosy and full of energy. One was yawning lazily, and the other was secretly tiptoeing, gently kicking each other's calves.
Gu Yue took a sip of warm water, his eyes fell back on Xiao Mu's face, and the corners of his lips slowly raised a meaningful shallow arc. "You were very diligent last night."
Xiao Mu paused for a moment and said helplessly, "... I didn't sleep well. Are you thinking about something impure? Can I do that?"
"I can see that." Gu Yue nodded lightly, his tone clear, and the joking meaning in his eyes could not be hidden.
Xiao Mu was slightly speechless and turned around to look at the two people behind him. Na'er grinned at him in confusion, not understanding the deeper meaning of his words at all.
But Xu Xiaoyan understood instantly, the tips of his ears flushed red, he lowered his head in a hurry, slipped under Xiao Mu's arm deftly, and quickly fled the corridor.
Gu Yue watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor quietly, showing a half-smiling smile.
