What surprised Su Jingyang was that Ling Li was sitting on the stool next to the bed, not sleeping, and seemed to be staring at him intently this whole time. As soon as he turned his head, Su Jingyang met his tender gaze.

Su Jingyang stood up and Ling Li leaned forward to help him. Su Jingyang's voice was still a bit hoarse from yelling too much earlier: "Ah-Li, why are you sitting there in the middle of the night? Why didn't you go to bed?"

It was almost November now, the weather was a bit cold. After Su Jingyang finished putting on a coat, he found that Ling Li didn't wear much, so he turned around and took one of his own, ready to put it on him.

Ling Li grabbed his hand and shook it, "I'm not cold, my hands are warm." He said so, but still smiled and let Su Jingyang put the clothes on him.

"How are you not cold, you'll get sick if you feel too cold." After Ling Licong came to Rongcheng and got that sudden illness. He took a lot of tonics, but his body was always weak and he often got dizzy, Su Jingyang was very worried about him.

Listening to his fuss, Ling Li couldn't help but smile and laugh. Su Jingyang asked why he was laughing, Ling Li said: "I'm glad you and the child were both safe, my wish came true."

"Thank you for praying for me, Ah-Li. You don't know but I almost thought I would..."

That crazy system suddenly came out and stimulated him, he was full of hatred and almost vomited blood from anger. Fortunately, he adjusted himself in time and persevered.

Su Jingyang looked at Ling Li and couldn't help thinking about his situation at the time. Giving birth to Ah-Xuan must've been more difficult. Ling Li smiled and shook his head when he asked him about it, saying that he had almost forgotten, but Su Jingyang couldn't help thinking back on the unforgettable pain. How could it be so easily forgotten?

Ling Li said, "It's probably because I watched him grow up little by little, the painful coating my memories of that time were replaced by something else."

But Su Jingyang still felt that he would never be able to forget it.

Su Jingyang again asked Ling Li to go back and sleep, but Ling Li shook his head, "I just got here from putting your two little guys to sleep."

Speaking of the two children, Ling Li's light-coloured pupils were full of affection. He couldn't help but laugh a bit, "The older one's too noisy, like you! When they grow up, you'll surely have headaches for days!"

Su Jingyang felt embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Shouldn't they already be asleep this late?"

Ling Li smiled and said, "A newborn child doesn't have a proper sleep cycle. You can't expect him to wake and rest on time like an adult, that's impossible."

Su Jingyang felt fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, someone will take the child in the future, otherwise, he'll really go crazy.

Su Jingyang suddenly raised his hand to cover his rumbling belly, Ling Li said, "I know you would be hungry, so I made your favourite meals. It only needs to be warmed to serve, come."

"Ah-Li, you're the best!" Su Jingyang's stomach was already growling from hunger, his eyes were bright and he nodded vigorously at Ling Li, he felt that he could now eat five bowls of rice in one breath without stopping.

Ling Li got up and opened the door to the room, whispering a few words to the people outside, and soon returning to accompany Su Jingyang again.

Ling Li used the bright candlelight in the room to look closely at his complexion. He found that his spirit was really much better than before. He was no longer in that state of horrible and cold silence from the previous month, as if he was about to faint from the pain at the next moment. "By the way, is your back still hurting?"
