Chapter 419: Xiao Wu's Nemesis

Xiao Wu dodged Shao Xi's hand. "I can't fall asleep…"


"You simply can't fall asleep because Mommy isn't by your side, right? Previously, Mommy offered to keep you company, but you stubbornly thought that you're a big boy now and you declined. Serves you right."


Shao Xi nudged Xiao Wu. "Move over."


Xiao Wu was surprised. "You want to sleep with me?"


"What else? What? You don't want to?" Shao Xi was displeased.


Xiao Wu chuckled. "Mm, I thought you didn't want to."


"I didn't, but you forced me to." Shao Xi snorted.


Previously, when Xiao Wu had suddenly gone to acknowledge Shao Qiyun and refused to acknowledge Mu Jingzhe, Shao Xi had cried and quarreled with him. He had confronted Xiao Wu and hated him the most. Even after learning that Xiao Wu had had his reasons, Shao Xi had still been a little indignant at first.


Previously, he had said that he wouldn't forgive Xiao Wu easily and he'd wanted him to know how impressive he was. In the end, Shao Xi hadn't done anything.


Especially after this period of time, Shao Xi couldn't think of a better solution than what Xiao Wu had done no matter how hard he thought about it.


Shao Xi squeezed his way onto the bed and gave Xiao Wu his arm. "Here, just pretend this is Mommy's arm."


Xiao Wu looked at Shao Xi's thin arm.


"…"


Shao Xi and Shao Dong were currently growing taller. They were quite thin and they didn't look like Mu Jingzhe at all. Although Mu Jingzhe was thin and strong, she was also soft and fragrant, so she was completely different from Shao Xi.


However, Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before hugging his arm. Forget it. He decided he did not mind. Otherwise, Second Brother would make a fuss again.


Shao Xi watched as Xiao Wu hugged his arm and patted him with his other hand. "Go to sleep."


However, he didn't do a good job. One moment, his hand was heavy, and the next moment, it was light. It would be strange if Xiao Wu was able to fall asleep this way. Shao Xi was already dozing off, but when he saw that Xiao Wu was still awake, he asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Do I have to sing the 'going to school' song, like Mommy used to sing for Little Bei?"


Recalling the version Mommy sang, Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh. "Stop it. The more I laugh, the harder it will be to fall asleep."


"Then what do you think we should do? How about you play the flute to coax yourself to sleep?" Knowing that Xiao Wu was unwilling to touch any musical instruments, Mu Jingzhe and the others didn't force him or even dare mention it, afraid that Xiao Wu would be sad. However, Shao Xi felt that the matter wasn't that serious and reckoned that being excessively careful would actually make Xiao Wu very nervous. Therefore, when it was only the two of them, he spoke in a carefree manner.


Xiao Wu was silent for a moment and couldn't help but retort, "You try playing it and coaxing yourself to sleep!"


"Fine then. Why are you angry? Forget it. I'll write about a sleepyhead like you in my book. You'll be able to fall asleep then."


"How does your writing about a sleepyhead help me?"


"How is it useless? I've already punished so many evil people in my book." Shao Xi snorted. "Don't belittle my books. Although they're not as impressive as your music, they're still not bad. If I write in my book that you'll grow taller, you really will grow taller."


Xiao Wu was depressed. "Then you're really impressive."


"You're equally impressive," Shao Xi replied without thinking. "It's useless even if I kill bad people in a book. Your music can do it for real, so I'm actually quite envious of you. If it were me, I might have been very useless this time and I wouldn't have been able to save Mommy."


Xiao Wu's pupils constricted. "You…"


"Alright, it's just the two of us now. We can just speak our minds freely. I think you did the right thing. You're amazing."


"Aren't you afraid of me?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask Shao Xi.


"Why would I be afraid of you? It's not like you're going to kill me. Look at you. All you did was teach Shao Qiyun a lesson. Why are you so afraid? You don't know how envious I am of you."


"But Mommy said we can't do such things." Xiao Wu pursed his lips. "Don't mention it again."


"Fine. It's rare for me to praise you. If you had fallen asleep obediently, we wouldn't be having this conversation now."


As he spoke, Shao Xi suddenly realized something. "That's not right. In your case, you can actually listen to a tune you composed previously. It might work."


After saying that, Shao Xi went to look for Xiao Wu's album for him.


Xiao Wu: "…"


He didn't really want to listen to it, especially since this music used to be used for salvation. He had already broken all his promises.


Xiao Wu wanted to turn it off, but Shao Xi had already wrapped his arms and legs around him and was patting him. "Go to sleep."


Unlike Mu Jingzhe's hug, Shao Xi's was rough. He was completely treating Xiao Wu like a human-shaped pillow and even complaining about him being all bones.


After complaining, in order to ensure that Xiao Wu would fall asleep, Shao Xi covered Xiao Wu's eyes with his hand, determined to make him go to sleep.


Xiao Wu had no choice but to close his eyes, but he wasn't sleepy at all. While the old music was playing in his ears, Xiao Wu felt that all of this was completely sinful.


Xiao Wu thought that Shao Xi wasn't there to coax him to sleep but had purposely come to torture him. Before he could fall asleep, Shao Xi was already sleeping soundly.


Xiao Wu believed that he definitely wouldn't sleep. In the end, not long after this thought entered his mind, Xiao Wu, who was clearly annoyed by Shao Xi's hug, actually fell asleep without realizing it.


When the tape finished playing, it stopped by itself. The next day, Shao Xi was woken up by the urge to pee. He got up and threw Xiao Wu aside to go to the bathroom. When he put on his shoes, he suddenly remembered what had happened last night.


He looked down and realized that Xiao Wu had fallen asleep with his mouth open, even oblivious to the fact that he had been kicked away. He heaved a sigh of relief and then said smugly, "I indeed have to keep you company. All children are like this. They've got to have someone keep them company."


Xiao Wu slept until well past ten o'clock. When he woke up, Xiao Wu couldn't figure out how he had fallen asleep. How had he managed to fall asleep?


Although he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Wu felt much more refreshed after a rare good night's sleep.


When Shao Xi returned from class and saw Xiao Wu, he took credit for it. "It's all because of me that Xiao Wu fell asleep. I'm going to hug him to sleep tonight too. How can someone not be able to sleep? One should feel sleepy at night time and doze off naturally."


Mu Jingzhe was speechless when she heard this. "You haven't heard of insomnia before? But since hugging Xiao Wu is effective, you can hug him to sleep in the future."


Mu Jingzhe, Ji Buwang, and Shao Qihai had previously thought of many ways to improve Xiao Wu's symptoms, but from the looks of it, the effect had been average. They hadn't expected Shao Xi's illogical actions to hit the mark.


Mu Jingzhe adjusted in time. Shao Xi acknowledged this and took charge. "No problem, leave it to me. I'm very good at coaxing Xiao Wu." Then, he casually handed Xiao Wu a cylindrical bone and only said one word. "Suck."


Xiao Wu: "…"


Was that what he called coaxing? This was nothing but torture. However, looking at the big bone in front of him, Xiao Wu still sucked on it helplessly and didn't retort.


During this period of time, Shao Xi bought him cylindrical bones every day before he went to school. He even peeled walnuts for him. After eating so many bones, Xiao Wu started to feel like a dog. However, he didn't have the heart to reject Shao Xi's kind intentions.


Shao Xi was very satisfied when he saw Xiao Wu suck the bone obediently. Because Mu Jingzhe had said that she would leave Xiao Wu to him, after eating lunch, he would drag Xiao Wu to take an afternoon nap with him. Needless to say, he would definitely hug Xiao Wu and play his tape every night before going to sleep.
