Chapter 1744

After sending away the two people, Mu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, and finally lay back down on the bed.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, he said softly, “Sleep.”

Baili Xia looked at him, blinking her crystal grape-like eyes, “I can’t sleep.”

She always feels like she’s been asleep for a long, long time, even though it’s indeed quite late now, past eleven o’clock.

But why does it feel like she just got up from bed not long ago?

“Close your eyes, and you’ll fall asleep soon.” Mu Xiaoyao really wasn’t good at coaxing girls to sleep.

“But I really can’t sleep…”

Thinking about it, Baili Xia suddenly tugged at his collar, “Brother, has our engagement date been set? When is it?”

Engagement…

Mu Xiaoyao’s breathing became slightly erratic, he looked down at her: “What…

engagement date?”

“Aren’t they asking us to get engaged quickly?”

Baili Xia blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly felt confused again.

Who was urging them to get engaged quickly?

Who exactly?

Why does it become more confusing the more she thinks?

Seeing her brows furrow again, it was clear that a hint of pain began to surface in her eyes.

Mu Xiaoyao was afraid she might suddenly get a headache again, so he hurriedly comforted her: “Soon, the date is still being finalized, just wait a little longer.”

“Oh.” Baili Xia pursed her lips, still feeling that her head was not quite comfortable.

Mu Xiaoyao placed his large hand on her temple, gently massaging it.

“You just woke up, don’t think too much.

If there’s anything, think about it tomorrow.”

“But who is always urging us to get engaged?”

Baili Xia still frowned, looking confused: “Brother, why can’t I remember?

Is my brain broken?”

“It’s not, it’s just…

it got bumped before, so it’s not working very well right now.”

Mu Xiaoyao massaged her head, “Don’t worry, you’ll gradually start to remember, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

She looked up at him, this gentle brother, she really liked him.

Her head nestled closer into his arms, feeling a bit shy.

“However, being engaged so young, will our classmates make fun of us?”

“…” He didn’t know what to say, so he just went along with her: “Since you’re afraid of being laughed at, then…

let’s set the date later.”

Baili Xia, however, pouted and glared at him: “Why do I feel like Brother doesn’t want to get engaged to me at all?

Don’t you like me anymore?”

This serious questioning left Mu Xiaoyao completely unable to respond.

After a long while, under her increasingly uneasy gaze, he said gently, “That’s nonsense, don’t overthink it, just sleep.”

Whatever it is, when you wake up tomorrow, talk about it when Uncle is around.

Facing this girl alone, it’s really difficult to smooth things over.

“Sleep.”

“But I’m not sleepy at all.” Baili Xia tossed and turned in his arms.

She closed her eyes and tossed around for quite a while, then suddenly turned to face him again.

Looking up at his perfectly chiseled handsome face, she suddenly thought: “Brother, will you tell me a story?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s forehead instantly had black lines, storytelling wasn’t his specialty either.

It’s really hard for someone who rarely talks to tell a story.

“Please?” Baili Xia coyly pushed him with her hand.

“…” It’s not that he didn’t want to, but he just didn’t have much to say, truly unsure of what story to tell.

But, her big eyes blinked, so clear and cute, he couldn’t bear to refuse her.

Thinking about it, Mu Xiaoyao suddenly said: “I really can’t tell a story. If you really can’t sleep, then… how about playing a game?”
