I really like your sand sculpture group friends

The car started and drove smoothly through the city streets in the afternoon.

The scenery outside the car window swept by at a steady pace. Yan Nuoya leaned back in her seat, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and her head began to nod uncontrollably.

In the end, exhaustion overcame her perseverance, and her body began to tilt slightly.

Mo Xiangwen moved slightly closer to her, lowering his shoulders slightly to avoid waking her up due to loss of balance.

She leaned in first, then gently rested her forehead on Mo Xiangwen's shoulder.

Mo Xiangwen's body tensed instantly; he could clearly feel the weight and hear her breathing.

He instinctively held his breath, turned his head slightly, and lowered his gaze, so that he could see her pale profile with her eyes closed and her eyelashes trembling slightly.

She was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, and a feeling mixed with helplessness and a strange tenderness spread through his heart.

I guess my cold hasn't gotten better yet, and the medicine I took at noon is starting to take effect.

As he thought about it, his body unconsciously relaxed, and his shoulders slumped slightly so that she could lean on him more securely.

The slight shaking inside the car and the steady breathing of the person next to him also took away the last bit of his conscious strength.

He felt particularly exhausted today, and pinched his thighs a few times to try to dispel the drowsiness, but to little avail.

He could no longer hold on, and his head unconsciously tilted slightly towards the side where Yan Nuoya was leaning on his shoulder, his cheek almost touching the top of her head.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep, nestled together in the moving taxi.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and muttered under his breath, "Sigh, young man."

After an unknown amount of time, a slight bump in the car woke Yan Nuoya up first.

She was initially a little confused, but then she immediately realized that she was leaning on Mo Xiangwen's shoulder, and he... seemed to be leaning on her as well.

The sound of clear breathing in her ear instantly woke her up.

She carefully reached out and gently patted Mo Xiangwen's arm, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up: "Xiangwen, wake up, we're almost there."

Mo Xiangwen mumbled a "hmm" in his sleep, struggled to open his eyes, his attention still somewhat scattered, and subconsciously asked, "...Have we arrived?"

Taking advantage of the brief moment when he was half-conscious and his head was slightly raised, Yan Nuoya quietly moved her head off his shoulder and straightened her body slightly.

"Yes, probably." Yan Nuoya then looked out the car window, avoiding his gaze, and said calmly.

The car stopped at the entrance of Bai Shishi's residential compound. The two got out of the car and found the house number according to the address.

After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly, revealing Bai Shishi's sweet smiling face.

"Sister Nuoya! Xiaoyi! You're here." Bai Shishi said happily, stepping aside to let them in. "Come in quickly. Mom went to work and hasn't come back yet."

As soon as she entered, Bai Shishi, filled with excitement, naturally reached out and gently hugged Mo Xiangwen's arm.

"Let me show you into my room."

"Uh, maybe we should just forget about it." Unlike the dormitory, Mo Xiangwen was still a little hesitant to enter the girls' room, and refused with an awkward smile: "I can sit on the sofa outside, you can take Nuoya in."

"Oh dear, Xiao Yi, don't be so formal with me." Bai Shishi's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes brightened, and she tightened her grip on her arms as she insisted.

She pulled Mo Xiangwen inside, while calling out to Yan Nuoya, "Sister Nuoya, come with me quickly. Let's see my room."

Mo Xiangwen sighed, unable to bring himself to refuse again, and could only let her lead him into the room.

Yan Nuoya shook her head helplessly and followed quietly behind.

Pushing open the door, a vibrant, girlish atmosphere greeted him. The room's main color was soft pink, and there were several dolls on the bed that he couldn't identify.

The most eye-catching feature is the set of professional white e-sports corner table and chairs and the comfortable orange sofa chair placed by the window.

A flexible monitor armrest adjusts the large screen to a suitable angle, allowing the girl to comfortably lie on the sofa chair and draw.

The corner of the table was filled with various exquisite figurines, ranging from anime characters to visual novel characters.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at them and his heart stirred slightly; they were all characters he was very familiar with and liked very much.

He has already bought some of them, but for various reasons, he has not yet bought the rest.

"Shishi, the environment here is even better than the studio," Mo Xiangwen exclaimed sincerely.

"I think the studio environment is better," Bai Shishi muttered softly, then suddenly remembered something and said, "If Xiao Yi likes my room, he can come and play often."

“Uh…” Mo Xiangwen blinked and chuckled, “If there’s a chance.”

"Then it's settled." Bai Shishi seemed completely oblivious to the evasion in his words, and instead nodded vigorously, taking it as an agreement.

Bai Shishi was happy about this little "promise" when her gaze inadvertently swept over the two of them, and she noticed the weariness that couldn't be hidden between their brows.

Yan Nuoya's eyes were still a little dazed, and Mo Xiangwen also quietly covered his mouth and yawned.

"Sister Nuoya, Xiao Yi." Bai Shishi's voice was soft, filled with genuine concern: "You two look so tired. There's still a while before dinner, so why don't you rest here for a bit?"

She tilted her little face up, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"No need, no need," Mo Xiangwen quickly waved his hand, trying to cheer himself up: "We're fine."

Yan Nuoya also gently shook her head: "Thank you, Shishi, but there's really no need to trouble yourself."

"It's no trouble at all," Bai Shishi said quickly, gently shaking the hand that was still holding Mo Xiangwen's arm. Her eyes swept over the two tired faces, and she advised, "You two should rest for a while. Sister Mengli and Sister Mengyao might still be in class right now."

She tilted her little face up and looked at Mo Xiangwen expectantly: "Xiao Yi, why don't you lie down on my bed for a while? My bed is very comfortable."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Nuoya and said sincerely, "Sister Nuoya, my bed is big enough...why don't you lie down with me for a while?"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Mo Xiangwen really couldn't bear to refuse her.

However, it was impossible for him to actually lie down on Yan Nuoya's bed and rest, just as Bai Shishi had said.

"Shishi, thank you for your kindness. Nuoya needs to lie down more." He chuckled and shook his head, then pointed to the sofa chair: "I'll just lie down in this sofa chair and rest for a while. sir."

When Bai Shishi heard that Mo Xiangwen had chosen a sofa chair, her lips pouted slightly, seemingly a little disappointed. She instinctively tried to persuade him, saying, "But wouldn't it be uncomfortable for Xiao Yi to sleep on the sofa chair...?"

Mo Xiangwen quickly interrupted her, reassuring her, "Really, Shishi, this arrangement is very good."

Bai Shishi was interrupted by him, and seeing his gentle yet persistent gaze, she had no choice but to swallow the rest of her words, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she quickly nodded.

Yan Nuoya naturally understood Bai Shishi's little intention to give the best to Mo Xiangwen. Bai Shishi's subconscious favoritism did not make her feel unhappy; on the contrary, she felt somewhat amused and exasperated.

However, no one expected that Bai Shishi would even suggest that they sleep in her bed together.

She nodded gently to Bai Shishi: "Thank you, Shishi, thank you for your help."

As agreed, Yan Nuoya lay down on Bai Shishi's bed, while Mo Xiangwen sat in the sofa chair. It must be said that Bai Shishi's chair was indeed softer and more comfortable than the chair in the studio.

Seeing that they were all settled, Bai Shishi immediately brought over a thin blanket and gently and carefully covered Mo Xiangwen with it.

Mo Xiangwen said in a low voice, "Thank you, Shishi. I'll rest for a while now. Call me when it's almost time."

"Okay, Xiao Yi, you can sleep soundly now." Bai Shishi nodded vigorously.

A clean, familiar, and faintly sweet scent wafted from the blanket, enveloping him as if he were covered with his own blanket.

This familiar and reassuring scent helps to relax tense nerves more quickly.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness quickly sank into darkness.

Yan Nuoya was so tired that she quickly relaxed on the comfortable bed and fell asleep.

For a moment, only the sound of steady breathing remained in the room.

Bai Shishi tiptoed out of the room and quickly returned with a small stool.

She sat beside the gaming chair, watching the two sleeping faces, quietly playing on her phone, her fingers lightly swiping across the screen, seemingly replying to messages.

He would occasionally glance at the two of them to see if they were sleeping soundly.

I had just turned on the air conditioner for them when I remembered that the little one was covered with a thin blanket and that Sister Noah seemed to still be sick, so I turned it up two degrees.

Mo Xiangwen gradually woke up in a daze, not knowing how long he had slept.

He slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Bai Shishi sitting on a small stool next to the gaming chair.

Almost simultaneously, Yan Nuoya also woke up and slowly sat up.

Although the sleep was short, the quality was quite good.

Although I still feel some lingering fatigue and pain deep in my mind, I should be able to hold on until the evening without any problem.

Bai Shishi noticed the movement and immediately looked up, her smile gentle: "Xiao Yi? Nuoya, you're awake? Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, Shishi, I'm so grateful for your help." Yan Nuoya got out of bed, straightened her clothes, walked up to Bai Shishi, and thanked her earnestly.

"Hmm, I feel much more energetic." Mo Xiangwen also sat up straight, stretched, and handed the folded quilt to Bai Shishi.

"That's good. Come and have some fruit." Bai Shishi happily brought over the prepared fruit. "Sister Mengli and the others said they've arrived at the restaurant, so we should head over now."
