Waiting for you in bed and all that, it's enough to make one's mind wander.

Chu Qi did it on purpose, as he saw Zhou Hao's arm stiffen from behind, and he got on the bed with satisfaction.

He was quite tired originally because ever since he followed Zhou Hao to the coffee shop, he hadn't taken a nap in the afternoon. For someone who is used to taking summer siestas, this is really a painful thing. Usually, he goes to bed relatively early, but today he slept later because of a mission. Especially when he got into bed, his eyelids immediately felt heavy.

No, we have to wait for Zhou Hao to come together.

In order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he tossed and turned in bed, and when he felt tired from rolling around, he would open his cellphone and scroll through Weibo.

When Zhou Hao codes, he enjoys quietness. But after being disturbed by him like this, he can't calm down at all. After persisting for an hour, he sighed and shut down the computer.

Chu Qi lay on the bed, watching horror movies while lying face down. In order to stay awake, but the more he watched, the more sleepy he felt. Suddenly, he felt the mattress tilting to one side, instantly getting more alert. He folded his hands and sat up, looking at Zhou Hao and asking, "Are you going to sleep?"

Zhou Hao looked at him, his eyelids unable to lift up from exhaustion, yet he stubbornly held on. A strange thought emerged in his mind, making him tempted to ruffle Chu Qi's head, but he resisted the urge and instead nodded, "Let's go to sleep."

What a fool! Just sleep if you want to sleep. Waiting for so long and making so much noise, it's preventing oneself from being able to work properly.

There was only one blanket in the room, and Chuzhi's blanket must have also gotten stained with orange juice. They could only make do and share the same blanket to sleep for the night.

As soon as he lay down, Chu Qi quickly lay down next to him.

Zhou Hao furrowed his brows slightly, "Why don't you go sleep in that big space next to us?"

"We only have one pillow," he blinked.

Zhou Hao: "......"

Okay, there really is only one pillow.

Zhou Hao felt uneasy and turned to the side, then turned off the bedside lamp.

He hasn't slept in the same bed as Zhou Nian for a long time. The last time should have been when he was thirteen years old and Zhou Nian was ten - it was their last time.

The results of the final exam came out that day, and Zhou Nian was still average in the class, but he ranked first in the grade. His parents praised him and criticized Zhou Nian. Zhou Nian's face swelled up like a little bun, his eyes were still red. He ran to his room and said, "Why do you always do so well on exams? It made me always get scolded by our parents. Clearly, we eat, sleep, and study together. Did you secretly study without me knowing? I hate you! I don't want to sleep with you anymore!"

Xiao Nian!" He rushed over and grabbed Zhou Nian, wanting to explain that he hadn't secretly studied behind his back. If he wanted to study well too, he could teach him anything he didn't understand.

But Zhou Nian was furious at the time, so she didn't listen at all. She forcefully pushed him away and ran out.

Zhou Hao sat heavily on the ground, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

It's not something he can control at all. He didn't study behind Zhou Nian's back, but he knows he needs to study hard.

Zhou Nian didn't know at the time that Zhou Hao wasn't his real older brother, but he knew he wasn't a child of the Zhou family. The parents of the Zhou family treated him well, but he was closest to Zhou Nian. This little brother always caused trouble and loved hiding behind him, making him take the blame. However, whenever there was something good, the first person he thought of was his older brother. He couldn't bring himself to dislike Zhou Nian, and even wanted to take care of him for the rest of his life. Isn't that adorable?

Therefore, when the person closest to him in this family denied him, nobody could comprehend how helpless he felt.

Has this family already reached the point where they can no longer accommodate him?

Later on, Zhou Nian started sleeping in a separate room from him and began causing all sorts of trouble for him. Gradually, his patience turned into impatience because no one's tolerance is limitless, and he also had his exhausted moments.

"Brother, are you asleep?"

Chu Qi's voice brought his thoughts back, and he uttered an "mm".

"Shall we have a chat?"

Zhou Hao ignored him, indicating his unwillingness. However, Chu Qi continued speaking to herself, mainly about recent events.

After talking for a while, Chu Qi noticed that Zhou Hao was not reacting. Her eyes flickered as she remembered that Zhou Hao liked nostalgia, so she began to tell him stories from their childhood.

Brother, do you remember when we were playing with fire lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival when we were young? Do you remember how I accidentally set the neighbor's doghouse on fire? I was so scared at that time. Thankfully, the dog ran away, otherwise our dad would have beaten me to death. It's also fortunate that you didn't rat me out.

"There was another time when I opened the cage of pigeons on the rooftop. All the pigeons flew out in a rush, scaring me so much that I stepped back and almost fell from the top of the building. Fortunately, you grabbed onto me and saved me from falling to my death."

"Also...," she added.

Zhou Hao was lying on his side, with his back facing him, silently listening. The corners of his mouth slowly curved upward. It seems that this guy hasn't forgotten the trouble he caused when they were kids. It's a wonder he even realizes that Zhou Hao took the blame for him.

Chu Qi spoke for a while but didn't see any reaction from Zhou Hao, so she asked, "Brother, are you asleep?"

Zhou Hao still remained silent.

Chu Qi sighed disappointingly and said, "You're sleeping so early." He yawned and cautiously moved closer to him, wrapping his arms around him from behind, resting his chin on Zhou Hao's neck, closing his eyes with contentment.

Feeling the warmth of a body pressing against him from behind, Zhou Hao's body stiffened for a moment. Instinctively, he wanted to push Chu Qi away, but if he were to do so now, wouldn't he expose himself? So he decided to continue pretending.

He lay on his side like this, originally used to sleeping late by himself. Now that he had Zhu Qi sleeping next to him, he couldn't sleep even more.

After struggling for half the night, he finally realized that he had to push Chuzhi away. Unexpectedly, Chuzhi moved a bit, causing him to immediately stop and pretend to be asleep, thinking that Chuzhi had awakened.

Chu Qi embraced him with increasing force, her breathing becoming more rapid. Her lower body continued to rub against his waist. Zhou Hao could clearly feel that the thing behind him had become hard.

His eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened wide. What the heck! That bastard!
