The snow outside was heavy, and you could hear the sound of falling through a layer of window glass. Occasionally, the branches were broken and the "crackling" sounded very hypnotic.

"It's only the hour now, why are you going to bed?" The video call was connected. Jing Chi saw the dim light on the screen, Lining Suyi's misty face, and was really stunned. "Or, you are already asleep, I woke you up."

Only one desk lamp was lit in the room, and the light was naturally subtle. Ning Suyi stuck out the quilt with one hand, turned on the switch of the light, and the surroundings were lit up all over the place. She was still a little uncomfortable and narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not asleep." She turned over and lay down in the quilt, looking down at the person on the screen, "What are you doing?"

Jing Chi held Xiao Chai in his arms and raised it to the camera: "I just finished the New Year's Eve dinner and was about to come to play with you. You are ready and go to bed."

Ning Suyi looked at the man and dog inside, and Xiao Chai stuck out his tongue at the camera, and couldn't help but smile.

She felt tired after saying a few words. She stood the phone in her hand on the head of the bed, folded her hands on the pillow, and then put her chin on the back of her hand, and her voice was soft: "Let's play with me tomorrow, I can't stand it."

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Last night..." Ning Suyi thought, "I went to bed early last night."

Jing Chi stopped asking: "Okay, I'll find you to play tomorrow, so you can chat with me now."

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Ning Suyi lay down for a while, her posture was not very comfortable. She turned down and lay on her side on her pillow. She finally felt comfortable when she slept like her usual way.

"Su Su, your face is shaking out of the picture." Jing Chi said.

Ning Suyi grabbed the phone and placed it on the side of the pillow. The entire screen was filled with her enlarged face: "Is this okay?"

Jing Chi was smiling there, her eyes curled up. She pressed her side face against the pillow, squeezed out a little flesh on her cheeks. It must have been washed and she looked broken without applying any makeup. Her hair was scattered, and a few strands floated on her face.

"It's my birthday in twenty days. What birthday gift do you want?" Jing Chi cleared his throat and asked seriously.

If he didn't remind him, Ning Suyi would almost forget that his birthday was coming soon. February 14th, Valentine's Day, was her 27th birthday. Xu Sui was twenty-eight years old and was thirty-three years old.

Ning Suyi smiled: "I gave me a birthday gift before, but I never asked me."

"This is not our first birthday after we were together, and it is a Valentine's Day for couples. I must not pay more attention than before." Jing Chi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You think about it carefully."

Ning Suyi suddenly realized.

When she celebrated her birthday last year, they were not together yet. This year was indeed the first birthday after being together. She thought they had been together for a long time, but it was just her illusion.

Ning Suyi closed her eyes slightly and thought about what birthday gift to ask for.

In fact, she likes everything he gives. It seems a bit perfunctory to say this.

Jing Chi didn't urge her to wait patiently and wait quietly, but while waiting, the picture on the screen suddenly trembled. The next second, Jing Chi couldn't see Ning Suyi's face, and could only see the ceiling of her bedroom.

He was stunned for a moment, and the picture he could imagine was that his phone slipped from her hand and fell to the edge of the bed.

Jing Chi tentatively shouted softly: "Su Su?"

He didn't hear the response, and then he held his breath and listened quietly, and could hear the light breathing sound coming from there, evenly and long, as if he was falling into a deep sleep.

Jing Chi: "..."

He told her to think about what her birthday gift was for, and she wanted to fall asleep?

Jing Chi was so amused and laughed. She didn't know what work she did during the day, but she actually fell asleep so easily. She used to be a person who claimed to have "difficulty falling asleep".

Ning Suyi was sleeping soundly, and Jing Chi did not hang up the phone. He listened to her breathing and did his own thing in the room. The little nephew was calling him in the corridor. He was afraid that he would disturb Ning Suyi, so he left his phone in the room and opened the door and went out.

——

Ning Zongde and Tai Shuying sat in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala program. Ning Yu'an stayed aside with the snacks that Tai Shuying had just given him. After eating a little, his head was bit by bit, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Tai Shuying patted his little hand: "Is she sleepy?"

Ning Yu'an nodded.

Tai Shuying took him to a room on the first floor to sleep. He used to live here and kept changing clothes. Tai Shuying found a clean pajama for him. After he finished his shower, he watched him lying in the quilt. Tai Shuying left a night light and turned off the ceiling light and went out.

Ning Zongde asked: "Are you asleep?"

"Yeah." Tai Shuying lowered her voice and said, "I fell asleep when I got to bed. Oh, it looked pitiful. Have you contacted your elder brother? I was afraid that he would not tell him, and he turned around and found that the child disappeared and caused trouble."

Ning Zongde called Ning Zongcheng from the afternoon to the evening, and was reminded that the phone was turned off.

"I can't contact him, my phone is turned off." Ning Zongde said truthfully.

Tai Shuying sighed again, sat back on the sofa, yawned, and saw that it was past 11 o'clock, and stood up after sitting for less than two minutes: "I'll go upstairs to see if Su Su is asleep."

Ning Zongde smiled and said, "I must have fallen asleep if I didn't get down."

Tai Shuying went up to the second floor, and Ning Suyi's room door was not locked. She knocked twice, but she pressed down the door handle without getting a response and pushed open the door. The chandeliers and desk lamps in the room were on, just like during the day, Ning Suyi was lying on the bed and sleeping heavily.

Tai Shuying shook her head, thinking that she was careless enough.

She walked up and turned off the upper light for her, left the desk lamp, and looked down again. She saw that the screen of the phone next to her pillow was still lit, showing the video call interface, but there was no one in the picture.

Tai Shuying leaned closer and looked at her, stunned for a moment. When she saw the other person's name clearly, she immediately understood what was going on.

She smiled silently, turned around, and her steps fell lighter, for fear of waking Ning Suyi. She knew that her daughter was not in good sleep and had always been sleeping lightly, and even minor movements could wake her up.

Tai Shuying walked to the door, breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the door of the room, and went down the stairs.

Ning Zongde asked: "Have you fall asleep?"

"I fell asleep. I was so careless, I didn't turn off the headlight when I fell asleep." Tai Shuying smiled and told him the secret he had just discovered, "These two children are still talking on video while sleeping."

Ning Zongde didn't react, and after thinking about it, he understood what she meant.

The TV was off, Tai Shuying covered her mouth and yawned a long time, so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes: "We'll sleep too, we can't stand it."

Ning Zongde turned off the TV, put his shoulder on her back to the room, suddenly thought of something, and said to himself: "I said, is Su Su sick? Or is she too tired before the New Year? She has not had a good appetite these two days, and she is still dozing off."
