Liao Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, "Just a random guess."

"Boss is truly the boss!" Xiong Da and Xiong Er couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.

Just as school was finishing, Qiang Ge held a few movie tickets in his hand and handed them over to Liao Qing as if presenting a treasure: "Shall we go watch a movie? It just premiered, Midnight Horror, a horror film. I heard it can scare a person to death."

……

Liao Qing was gripping the blanket tightly, their eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep even after lying in bed for nearly half an hour.

I got up and carefully opened the cabinet next to the bed, but there was nothing inside.

After letting out a sigh of relief, he went back to sleep.

Another failed attempt at falling asleep.

He's not afraid of anything, just afraid of ghosts. Or rather, it's not that he's afraid of ghosts, but that the horror movie he just watched reminded him of some unpleasant memories. The dismembered bodies in the movie brought back his childhood memories in a sudden rush.

As the mortuary's shroud slowly descended...

Liao Ning was still reviewing the quarterly report when he glanced at his watch. It was already close to eleven o'clock, which meant it was time to take a break.

When he opened the bedroom door intending to go to the bathroom to rinse off, there was actually someone at the door, causing him to be so startled that he almost threw the clothes in his hand.

After he took a good look, his heart finally settled back in its place. He frowned and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Brother... I want to sleep with you."

Liao Qing didn't think much of it. After all, he and Da Ning had grown up together, practically inseparable. However, he had forgotten that Liao Ning, in a sense, was no longer the big brother he used to be.

"Can't I?"

"Are you scared?"

"Um... I watched a horror movie today."

"Why aren't you sleeping with Mom and Dad?"

"There seems to be some strange noise coming from their room, so I don't really want to disturb them."

Liao Ning couldn't help but support his forehead.

"I won't be afraid if we sleep in the same room, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Liao Qing was truly impolite, as he quickly crawled into his brother's bed and said, "Brother, go wash up quickly, I'm scared!"

After Liao Ning finished washing up and returned, Liao Qing was already curled up in the blanket, fast asleep. The blanket had been kicked off completely, indicating that she was truly exhausted.

Liao Ning took out a blanket from the cabinet and spread it on the sofa. He then came back to get a hairdryer and also covered the blanket for him.

Liao Ning was truly impressed when he touched his head.

The little brat fell asleep before even drying their hair, the tips of which are still wet.

"I'm tired... Stop bothering me!" And I'm also irritable from waking up..."

Liao Ning finally understood where his unruly hair came from. Without blow-drying his hair, it felt uncomfortable, and the next day it would undoubtedly become a mess. Fortunately, Liao Qing's hair was soft, so it didn't turn into an explosion.

After finishing blow-drying her hair, Liao Qing finally woke up. Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "Brother? What are you doing here?"

Liao Ning gave him a cold glance and turned around, walking towards the sofa. "Take a good look at whose room it is."

Liao Qing was really puzzled and confused, laughing awkwardly a few times to cover up the embarrassment. Looking at Liao Ning blow-drying her hair on the other side, it must be said that Liao Ning was used to wearing formal attire usually. Seeing him in casual clothes, with his long legs that couldn't be hidden, there was a different kind of feeling.

Compared to the usually cold and aloof demeanor, it seemed to have gained a hint of warmth and liveliness.

"Bro, you're sleeping on the sofa? That's really embarrassing, you know."

I didn't realize just how unapologetic you were...

Liao Ning casually said, "It's not a big deal. Back when I used to work overtime, having a recliner was already pretty good. By the way, remember to blow dry your hair before sleeping from now on."

"When did you become so particular? Didn't we used to just wash up and go straight to bed before?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Liao Qing realized that he misspoke...
