312 A Shy Child
Cheng Luo vaguely felt that her sister was a little too enthusiastic about Shen Nian. She frowned and said disapprovingly, “Nian Nian is also injured. He should go ho and have a good rest. I’ll get the nursing aide to keep you company at night. Don’t fool around.”
“Sister, I’m not fooling around! It was Nian Nian who said he wanted to stay and keep company!” Cheng Mu pouted pitifully.
What was the point of having these two old-fashioned aides to keep her company? She would prefer to look at Shen Nian’s beautiful, porcelain doll-like face as she recuperated. Perhaps she would recover faster if she was in a good mood.
Cheng Luo could not dissuade her. She stood up helplessly and said, “Alright, I have sothing I need to do, so I’ll leave first. I will co and see you tonight.”
!!
“Okay!” Cheng Mu nodded readily and then gazed at Shen Nian with anticipation.
Shen Yin and Lian Jing looked at each other and she suddenly asked uncertainly, “Aren’t you busy with work today?”
“Yes.” Lian Jing glanced at her indifferently and said in amusent, “But I’ve already handed everything to Lian ng to handle. I’m free this afternoon. Let’s go ho and inform Grandpa first. He will fret if he hears this from soone else.”
“Okay.” Shen Yin nodded in agreent. She squatted down and patted her son’s shoulder. “Then stay here and take good care of Mu Mu. If you need anything, just ask the nursing aide.”,
“Okay.” Shen Nian’s face was expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking. After the two of them left, he jumped off the chair and looked at the nursing aides, who were at a loss. “The two of you, bring an spare bed and a set of bedding. I’ll pay for it myself.”
The two nursing aides looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. They quickly went out to get it done.
Cheng Mu smiled as she watched him arrange a place for himself to sleep at night. She moved over and patted the half-empty bed. “Sit here and rest for a while. Let take a look at your injuries.”
“There’s nothing to see.” Shen Nian looked down coldly, unwilling to get so close to her and lie on the sa bed as her.
Cheng Mu felt bored and took a bite of the apple. Suddenly, she thought of sothing and imdiately looked at Shen Nian. “By the way, didn’t you say that you wanted to repay and I could ask for anything?”
This ti, Shen Nian looked up at her seriously and nodded. “Yes, have you decided what it will be?”
“I’ve decided!” Cheng Mu raised her hand smartly and said with a smile, “I want you to take good care of while I’m in the hospital. You’ll have to obey in everything and that will be your repaynt to !”
“So simple?” Shen Nian looked at her incredulously.
Based on his understanding of human nature, unless they was related by blood, soone who risked everything to save another person must have an ulterior motive.
However, Cheng Mu did not seem to want anyone or anything other than him. It was as if her bright eyes were focused only on him.
This thought shocked Shen Nian for a mont. His whole body went numb for awhile before he ca back to his senses and nodded in agreent. “Okay, then what do you want to do?”
Cheng Mu vigorously patted the empty space beside her. “Lie down here. You’ll sleep here tonight.”
“Huh?” Shen Nian had never seen such an improper young lady. He was so surprised that his ears turned red. He subconsciously looked down at his thin body and suddenly felt angry.
Did she know that he was more mature than his peers? She was a girl, but she actually took the initiative to ask a boy to sleep with her. How shaless!
“Co here. You clearly made a promise to .” Cheng Mu took another bite of the apple.
Shen Nian took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “This is your own request. Don’t bla in the future.”
“Why should I bla you?” Cheng Mu looked at him oddly. She was pleased when he obediently lay down beside her and she turned to observe his exquisitely beautiful face up close.
Cheng Mu liked children very much. Even though she was not very old, she longed for a younger brother or sister. Shen Nian’s looks suited her aesthetics, so she doted on him.
There was a pair of eyes staring straight at him. He felt very uncomfortable.
Shen Nian suddenly regretted his rash decision. He could have gone ho with his mother and lain down comfortably in bed to rest. However, his pride refused to allow him to owe anyone a favor. As a result, he could only endure the scorching heat on his face as she stared at him. He stamred and closed his eyes. “You, why are you looking at like that? Turn around.”
“Huh?” Cheng Mu looked at his increasingly red face oddly and widened her eyes in disbelief. “Don’t tell you’re feeling shy?”
Shen Nian suddenly turned his head and glared at her. He saw Cheng Mu clutch her belly as she rolled around the bed in amusent.
Seeing that his expression was getting darker and darker, Cheng Mu stopped smiling and teased him playfully, “You’re only six years old, right? You’re just a little kid, why are you feeling shy?”
Shen Nian gritted his teeth. “Cheng Mu! If you continue to laugh, you can sleep alone tonight!”
