Just like the comments said, Shen Shuangjian was indeed dizzy from carbon monoxide poisoning.
As he ate, he couldn't help but lean back and rest. As he rested, his head tilted to the side, and he fell asleep completely.
Shen Sixian's knee was lightly bumped with a head, and he didn't even need to look to know it must have been Shen Shuangjian.
The first thing Shen Sixian thought of when he saw this dependent behavior was that Shen Shuangjian was trying to use her charm to avoid the late-night snack.
But when he actually looked down, he found that Shen Shuangjian had fallen asleep at some point, her thick, long eyelashes covering her eyes and creating a small shadow.
"He can even fall asleep while eating, like he hasn't slept at all..." Shen Sixian was genuinely helpless, but there wasn't much blame in his voice.
He gently bent down, and because he was afraid of waking Shen Shuangjian, Shen Sixian even used his hands instead of his knees to support Shen Shuangjian's head.
While kneeling on the carpet, Shen Sixian glanced at the live stream that was still open. He raised an eyebrow and turned it off.
Shen Shuangjian's sleep is always very light. If someone touches him very obviously while he is sleeping, he will be startled awake from his light sleep.
"Hmm..."
When Shen Sixian went to hug him, Xie Jinghui, was also watching quietly.
He saw Shen Sixian pick Shen Shuangjian in his arms without any hesitation, and he saw Shen Shuangjian, who had just woken from a light sleep, instinctively hug Shen Sixian's shoulders in a daze.
Xie Jinghui suddenly felt a sense of loss and jealousy.
People of the same surname are connected by blood.
Shen Sixian will never have to be like him, having to carefully consider even the smallest gestures of touching or hugging.
Shen Sixian never had to worry about how to avoid offending anyone or how to appear less distant.
He could bicker and quarrel with Shen Shuangjian to his heart's content, and even make Shen Shuangjian want to escape countless times.
But as long as they can stand together, Shen Sixian will never be abandoned by Shen Shuangjian.
Even the most nominal brotherly bond can break through Shen Shuangjian's defenses countless times, allowing him to rampage through his world and come and go as he pleases.
There is no reason, no justification; simply because they are brothers, no one can deny their connection.
This is a unique characteristic of Easterners – their reserved nature, but also their unique drawback.
Even in the most intense arguments, when you desperately want to turn your words into sharp knives to stab the other person, the prefix of your words will never change.
Xie Jinghui's gaze shifted slightly, and after a moment it suddenly became somewhat deep.
He thought that his attitude towards Shen Sixian seemed a bit too sharp.
It's better to be a little more tactful and gentle.
Shen Shuangjian's room was on the second floor of the villa, as was Shen Sixian's.
Back in his room, Shen Sixian was unusually gentle, his eyes filled with joy.
He sat on the single armchair by the bed, holding his phone as he finished up the last bit of work.
The lights were off in Shen Sixian's room, but the curve of his lips was clearly visible in the soft moonlight streaming through the window and the glow of his phone screen.
Through a text message notification, Shen Sixian clearly realized that the supplementary card he had not activated before was now linked to his main account.
Looking at the last four digits of the card number, Shen Sixian seemed to suddenly remember something. He moved his fingers a few times, and the originally very official account nickname of the supplementary card was changed back to the nickname he had set.
----Piggy bank.
Shen Sixian's brows relaxed even more. He was in a great mood and felt that now was the perfect time to transfer money anytime, anywhere. So, with a wave of his hand, he transferred a sum of money without hesitation.
Your account... has successfully transferred 5 million yuan to Shen Shuangjian's "piggy bank".
Seeing the words "Remittance Successful," Shen Sixian pleasure, finally put down his phone, grabbed his change of clothes, and slowly walked towards the bathroom.
Shen Shuangjian had been recuperating in the Northwest for many days.
Although anemia and malnutrition are not deficiencies that can be recovered in just a few days, several days of dietary and medicinal supplements have at least made Shen Shuangjian's body less weak, and her complexion has regained some color.
Shen Sixian was probably stung by the words "we won't give him food," which twisted into a thorn in his heart, causing him to instinctively try to break free.
During their stay in the Northwest, Shen Shuangjian four meals a day without fail, each meal featuring a variety of nourishing dishes, which effectively helped Shen Shuangjian regain some of her health.
It was just a pity for Shen Shuangjian, who had no idea what Shen Sixian was up to, and found him to be unpredictable and his behavior inexplicable.
With four meals a day, and occasionally even an afternoon tea snack, Shen Shuangjian was either suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning or on her way to suffer from it almost every day.
Xie Jinghui enjoyed two rare days of peace and quiet, without the tension he felt on the show. He then discovered that he could always catch Shen Shuangjian sleeping anywhere in the villa.
Sometimes it was on the sofa in the living room, where Shen Shuangjian curl up in the innermost spot, fast asleep. The thin blanket was held in front of him, not providing much warmth, but it probably gave him some sense of security.
Sometimes, Shen Shuangjian would fall asleep on the long-haired carpet. It was probably because she was sitting for a while but suddenly felt sleepy, so she closed her eyes, curled up, and quietly fell asleep after a short while.
At times like these, Xie Jinghui would occasionally have the chance to carry him to the sofa. He would look down at Shen Shuangjian's sleeping face, and then inexplicably think of the phrase "peaceful and quiet life".
Shen Shuangjian was never a truly cold and aloof person; he was just too reserved and too gentle.
On the seventh day of their stay in the Northwest, the guests and crew who had come to film in the desert began to leave one after another, but Shen Shuangjian was still recuperating.
After being successfully fattened up by Shen Sixian by three pounds and sleeping until her head ached every day for several days, Shen Shuangjian finally couldn't bear it any longer.
When Shen Sixian tried for the third time to "force" him to finish the remaining half bowl of rice, Shen Shuangjian couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and coldly refuse with a furrowed brow.
"Brother, could you please stop interfering with my eating habits?"
Faced with Shen Shuangjian's "protest," Shen Sixian simply scooped two spoonfuls of soup and placed them in front of Shen Shuangjian, seemingly unconcerned.
He said casually, "Call me brother."
Shen Shuangjian: "...?"
Shen Shuangjian pursed her lips quietly, her gaze filled with deep confusion and dissatisfaction. After a long while, although she didn't know why Shen Sixian like this, Shen Shuangjian still compromised in order to escape him.
Shen Shuangjian simply lowered her head and repeated, "Brother, could you please stop interfering with my eating habits?"
In response, Shen Sixian, who raised an eyebrow, simply put down what he was holding and refused without changing his expression.
"Cannot."
