Ye Xi finally woke up before dawn.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the father and son sitting in front of the window with haggard faces. She asked in confusion: "Why don't you sleep? What are you doing sitting next to my bed?"

"Mother, I'm going to sleep right now." Ni Chen kicked off his shoes, lifted up the quilt, got under the quilt, and threw himself into Ye Xi's arms: "Mother, Chen'er wants to sleep with mother."

After Ni Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned on Ye Xi's chest. After a few breaths, he fell into a sweet dream.

Ye Xi looked at his sleeping son with a gentle look on his face. He unconsciously kissed his forehead and said softly: "Sweet dreams, my little baby."

Ni Ge looked at his son with envy as he took off his shoes to sleep without any problems. He wanted to be like Ni Chen and take off the quilt to sleep in the same bed with Ye Xi.

But there was still a reasonable agreement between him and Ye Xi, which made him dare not show any of it even if he was thinking crazy.

Ni Ge lamented in his heart, I really want to be your big baby.

Then he stood up and covered the mother and son with quilts, and said in an unprecedented gentle and considerate tone: "Ye Xi, you haven't woken up all night, how dare I sleep? Now that you are awake, my hanging heart has finally let go."

Ye Xi's heart moved slightly. This probably meant that someone cared about him, right? It feels a little sweet, making the corners of your lips rise unconsciously.

"Yes." Ye Xi's eyebrows slightly arched and he said softly, "I'm fine. Go to bed and don't worry about me. Thank you for today."

"Yeah." Ni Ge nodded and said softly, "You should sleep a little longer."

He stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he turned back and blew out the candle. In the darkness, Ni Ge looked at Ye Xi again: "My eldest cousin said that you got back part of your life when you were fighting Qinglong. This That’s why you fell into a deep sleep and couldn’t wake up. He also said that when you wake up, you will be stronger.”

"You should rest, I'm leaving first." Ni Ge walked out reluctantly, hoping that Ye Xi would ask him to stay.

But until he walked out of the house, he didn't hear what he wanted to hear.

Ni Ge smiled bitterly: What on earth was he expecting? Today's Ye Xi is not only completely different from the original Ye's character, but also more independent. It seems difficult to change what she decided.

No, no matter how difficult it was, he would make Ye Xi fall in love with him and never want to leave him. He was willing to work hard for it.

In the room, Ye Xi put his chin on Ni Chen's forehead, kissed him again, and fell asleep again.

At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Xi was awakened by the sound on the street.

"Ah~" Ye Xi yawned and stretched, and saw Ni Chen sitting on the bed with his face in his hands and looking at her with a smile.

"Chen'er, you're awake." Ye Xi sat up and asked, "What time is it now?"

Ni Chen threw himself into Ye Xi's arms: "Mom, it's already Chen time. Daddy has prepared breakfast for you."

"Really?" Ye Xi was a little hopeful after hearing this. How could she help the future powerful minister to make breakfast for her?

When Ye Xi got up and washed up, Ni Ge was already waiting for her at the door of the house: "Have you slept well? I cooked some vegetable and lean meat porridge, try it and see if it suits your taste?"

Ye Xi smiled heartily: "Okay! Then I'll be in luck."

Ye Xi walked to the dining room and looked at the milky white rice porridge, dotted with bits of minced meat and tender green vegetables, which looked very appetizing.

There is also a plate of pickles and a few steamed buns on the side. The aroma wafts into the nose, making people unable to help but salivate.

"Are you hungry?" Ni Ge carefully served a bowl of porridge for both mother and son: "Here, have a taste, is it delicious?"

Ye Xi picked up the bowl and smiled. Ni Ge asked curiously: "Ye Xi, why are you laughing before you start eating?"

Ye Xi waved his hand: "I'm not laughing at you. I'm just thinking of some jokes I've seen before, saying that someone put a lot of effort into making a meal, but in the end, either the sugar was used as salt, or there was too much salt, which made it salty. " Ni Ge pointed to the porridge Ye Xi was holding with a smile: "So do you think I put the sugar as salt, or did I put too much salt?"

Ye Xi shook his head: "I didn't think about anything."

Ni Chen followed Ye Xi and giggled: "Mom, won't you know if you try it? Or are you afraid that the food daddy cooks is not delicious?"

Ni Ge didn't move his chopsticks, and just looked at Ye Xi with a smile: "Yes, you will know if it tastes good or not after you try it? Or do you not even have the courage to take a bite?"

Ye Xi shook her head and laughed. She was actually a little afraid that the food cooked by Ni Ge would not be delicious.

As for why she thought so, of course it was in her writing that when Ni Ge cooked for Shangguanjiao for the first time, she added too much salt. At that time, Shangguanjiao vomited after taking a mouthful of rice.

When Ye Xi thought of Ni Ge's dark history of cooking in her writing, she didn't dare to move her chopsticks.

But both Ni Ge and Ni Chen looked at her, so Ye Xi had no choice but to pick up a little porridge with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The vegetable porridge is sweet and soft, with just the right taste.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip. The taste was still very good, and it didn't feel like he had added too much salt or mistook sugar for salt.

"Hey, it's not bad!" Ye Xi gave Ni Ge a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Ni Ge smiled and said, "Did you not expect that I have such cooking skills?"

Ye Xi nodded and said with some guilt: "Yeah, I just thought you cooked the rice well. I didn't expect the food you cooked to be so delicious. You are comparable to a chef!"

Ni Ge looked at Ye Xi fondly and did not expose her: "If it tastes good, eat more. Look at you, you are too thin. It would be better if you put on more meat."

The whole family enjoyed the meal very happily.

After dinner, Ye Xi remembered: "Ni Ge, why didn't you go to the academy today? Don't make Mr. Guan angry."

Ni Ge smiled and said: "Today, the county magistrate is interrogating Zhao's theft case, and the academy is on a half-day holiday. Also, the teacher sent a message saying that he would be at home for dinner at noon, and I have asked Sang Huai to go out to buy groceries."

Ye Xi nodded, then smiled and said, "You actually sent secret guards to buy groceries. You are really overqualified."

Ni Ge looked at the empty yard and suggested, "Why don't we buy some servants to serve you mother and son."

Ye Xi shook his head: "Let's forget it! With our family's situation now, if we buy it, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of us."

Seeing that Ye Xi really didn't want to use servants, Ni Ge nodded and said, "Then we'll talk about it later."

Ye Xi ate and walked around the yard: "I wonder how Zhao's case went?"

Ni Chen took her hand and said, "Mom, how about we go take a look."

Ye Xi shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to see Zhao and her son, they look disgusting. Besides, Mr. Guan is coming for dinner, why don't we make a good meal and wait for him?"

Ni Chen pursed his lips unhappily, and Ye Xicheng shouted to the side: "Sangtian, take Ni Chen out to play."

"Yes."

Sang Tian quietly emerged from nowhere, took Ni Chen's hand and walked out.
