Chapter 134 Scheming Boy
follow closely,
Shen Xi gritted her teeth and raised her hand. "Fine, I keep you in my heart, but you've kicked me into the ditch."
Her face remained expressionless, but she was seething with rage inside.
Her dream nightlife!
Hua Lan raised an eyebrow as she watched her two children cooperate so obediently. Xiao Xi was always well-behaved, but why was her youngest son being so proactive today?
She put down her teacup. "In that case, let's make a gentleman's agreement. The phone will be on this table at 9 p.m., and the two children can take it if they need it the next day."
Shen Xi's inner demons were pounding the ground in frustration. This was worse than forcibly taking it! What was the difference between this and a carrot dangling in front of a donkey? You could see it, but you couldn't eat it.
Xiao Jiangci's beautiful eyes swept away the gloom of the past, and were filled with joy. The corners of his eyes slowly curved up, and he quickly glanced at his sister.
Just then, Shen Xi's indignant gaze collided with the little boy's joyful gaze.
With a "rip"
It was as if the air had suddenly exploded with sparks.
When Xiao Jiangci met Shen Xi's forced smile, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.
He quickly grabbed his sister's hand, trying to stop something.
Next second,
Shen Xi's voice, sounding troubled, rang out, "Auntie, little Jiang has been sleeping in my bed lately... I... I..."
She spoke haltingly, hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
It's obvious there's something fishy going on here.
Shen Xi smiled wickedly to herself. "Heh heh, trying to scheme against her in front of her mother? She'll let this future husband experience the harsh realities of society before he even gets there."
The compass needle turned.
Sure enough, Hua Lan responded.
Actually, Hua Lan was genuinely a bit confused. Why was Xiao Ci sleeping on Xiao Xi's bed?!
From the time Jiang Ci became conscious, she slept in her own bed and never tried to sleep in someone else's bed.
She looked up at Xiao Jiangci, who was sitting opposite her and whose ears were red with nervousness, with a puzzled expression. "Is that so, Xiao Ci?"
This is it.
But Xiao Jiang didn't say it aloud; his eyes darted towards his sister again. Such is the way of the world; fortunes change. Now it was Shen Xi's turn to look ahead with an air of righteous indignation, completely oblivious to the expectant gaze beside her.
Shen Xi glanced unconsciously at the empty sofa opposite her, silently counting in her mind.
one second,
Two seconds,
three seconds.
"Yes, I like my sister's bed."
After a long pause, Xiao Jiang finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Shen Xi scoffed inwardly. Even a young master from a wealthy family strictly adhered to social etiquette, never pausing for more than three seconds before answering a question, lest he be considered impolite.
Hua Lan was thinking to herself, "I bought these mattresses for hundreds of thousands of yuan wholesale, and all the rooms have the same configuration, so how could there be differences?"
Xiaoxi's bed wasn't anything special.
But Shen Xi finally brought it up, which means she must have reached her breaking point but was too embarrassed to say it. Now that she's finally spoken up, she definitely needs to resolve this matter properly.
Hua Lan said gently to Xiao Jiangci, "I'm used to sleeping alone. It's not good for me to rest when someone is around, so we must sleep separately tonight."
Xiao Jiangci looked at Shen Xi with a look that seemed like the sky was falling. Tears still clung to the corners of his eyes, and he stared at Shen Xi with a pitiful expression, trying to win her back.
After a while, Shen Xi slowly shifted her gaze away. It was just that Xiao Jiang Ci was too exquisite and adorable. He looked at you with teary eyes, as if he was trying to coax you with his eyes.
I didn't dare to look him in the eye, I couldn't even look him in the eye.
Nothing changed by nightfall.
Shen Xi went up to the second room on the west side of the second floor and returned to her own room. Xiao Jiangci walked towards the first room on the west side with many turns of his head, but he couldn't wait for Shen Xi to turn around.
He lowered his head and slowly made his way back to the room.
The next morning, Shen Xi, as usual, studied with her tutor as Hua Lan had arranged, except that the subject matter had changed to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
However, when she finished her class, she heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from the second floor, clearly belonging to a well-trained group of people.
After seeing her teacher off, she looked back.
The rarely seen butler appeared again. He earnestly explained to Shen Xi that the young master hadn't gotten up this morning, and the madam, realizing something was amiss, quickly went to the door and knocked.
There was still no answer from inside the door.
She quickly pushed the door open and found Xiao Jiangci lying unconscious on the big bed. When she touched him, she found he had a high fever, and his little face was so red that it looked like he was burning up.
In Yunxiaxiang, Jiang Hui had already arranged for private medical staff in another house, and before long, Xiao Jiang Ci was put on an IV drip.
Looking out from the door, Shen Xi saw Xiao Jiangci lying weakly in Hua Lan's arms. His usually well-behaved face looked wrinkled, showing how much of a blow this high fever had taken to him.
She walked in quietly and went to the bedside.
Hua Lan rubbed her forehead, touched her son's forehead, and slowly exhaled. Seeing Shen Xi come in, she smiled and said softly, "He still has some residual poison in his body, and his health isn't very good. You've finished your classes by now, right? Come and sit here for a while."
Shen Xi nodded and sat down to Hua Lan's left. Looking at Jiang Ci's furrowed brows, she almost whispered, "I've finished class. He looks a little unwell."
However, the next second after Shen Xi finished speaking...
Xiao Jiangci opened his eyes. His eyes were unfocused for a moment, then he slowly scanned his surroundings and immediately saw Shen Xi sitting next to him, tilting her head and looking somewhat worried.
He wondered, "Will my sister worry about me too?"
Perhaps because she was dealing with a patient, Shen Xi's attitude was noticeably better. She fed Xiao Jiangci water and gave him some snacks.
Xiao Jiangci accepted everything that Shen Xi brought him.
Perhaps it was because Shen Xi's attitude was too good.
Just before her IV drip was about to end, Xiao Jiangci spoke softly in a weak voice, in front of Hua Lan, "Can I sleep with my sister tonight?"
Hua Lan sensed something was amiss. She silently looked at her son in her arms, whose eyes were so tired they were about to droop, yet he was stubbornly trying to keep them open.
Shen Xi was a little worried about him sleeping alone at night with a fever, after all, her future husband was a man who made a living with his brain.
Anything is fine, just don't let your brain get fried.
"Okay, sleep with me tonight, that way I can keep an eye on whether you have a fever."
Hua Lan looked at Shen Xi, hesitant to speak, then suspiciously looked down at her son, whose eyes were blinking rapidly. She had a nagging feeling that her young son was setting a trap for Xiao Xi.
Xiao Jiangci got the answer she wanted, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, and subtly raised the corners of her lips.

When Xiao Jiang learned that he couldn't sleep in his sister's room, he returned to his room and sat down expressionlessly.
Three minutes later, a perfect plan was devised.
He went into the bathroom, turned on the cold water valve, and stood in the icy water for three hours.
When it's almost done, switch the water temperature valve to hot water and open the windows for ventilation.
Jiang Ci, her eyes red and fragile, chuckled softly and curled up on the bed.
And so, the task is complete.
