Because too many things happened tonight and it was another tiring day, Lin Xi just made a simple dinner.

Dabao and the other three wanted to wait for Shen Chen to come back and eat together, but they couldn't bear it and were too hungry, so they wolfed down the food.

Lin Xi saw that it was too late and advised them to go to bed first, but the three of them insisted on guarding the four treasures, and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

Lin Xi gently carried the person back to their room.

After holding the second and third treasures, when I went back to hold the big baby, the big baby woke up in a daze.

Lin Xi felt sorry for him as he had a child running around with him, taking all the trouble, and said softly: "Go back to sleep, Si Bao is here with me. You have to rest now so that you can have the energy to continue taking care of Si Bao tomorrow."

But in fact, Dabao is a very stubborn child, even worse than Shen Chen.

Lin Xi was a little worried about convincing him.

Unexpectedly, Dabao looked at her sleepily through the candlelight, and actually agreed obediently and walked back by himself.

But when he was about to go out, he stopped and said: "You should also go to bed early. Dad is back, and he can take care of the four treasures."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly.

It's rare that Dabao actually cares about her.

What a good sign!

Lin Xi thought happily.

The next moment, Lin Xi suddenly heard Si Bao scream on the bed.

She turned around and saw that Si Bao seemed to have had some kind of nightmare. His body was struggling and he was crying and calling for daddy.

Lin Xi hurried over, hugged Si Bao into his arms, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, Aunt Lin is here, you're okay."

Si Bao's body was still shaking violently.

Lin Xi couldn't do anything to coax her, but suddenly she had an idea and sang a lullaby that she had heard before.

Her voice is still nice, soft and gentle.

Gradually, Si Bao really calmed down and huddled in her arms, holding her clothes tightly with his little hands.

Lin Xi felt heartbroken.

As she was thinking about it, she suddenly thought of Shen Chen. She had only taken care of the child for less than a month, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted. Wouldn't it be even harder for Shen Chen to take care of the child for so many years?

Not to mention, the Four Treasures are not Shen Chen's biological children.

Lin Xi sighed.

Outside, Dabao stood at the door, listening to the songs sung from inside, as if he was frozen in place, unable to move.

Soon, the song was finished.

Dabao still stood where he was.

Until he was sure that Lin Xi couldn't sing anymore, he looked at the deep night, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, returned to the house quietly, tucked his two younger brothers in as usual, and then climbed into the bed and got into bed in the quilt.

Lin Xi waited until midnight, almost unable to open his eyelids, when he heard some movement outside.

She immediately got up and opened the door to go out, and saw Shen Chen and the village chief standing at the door talking.

Seeing her, the village chief called her over and said: "Lin Xi, you came out just in time, I told you. I have already reported it to the official for you, and the Yamen said that it will be investigated clearly."

Lin Xi then remembered what happened and said hurriedly: "Village Chief, I also discovered that there was a thief in the house, maybe he came to steal property. I thought maybe Si Bao happened to come back and met the thief, and the other party I have evil intentions and want to silence the Four Treasures."

The village chief said: "I already know this."

"You know?"

Lin Xi was surprised.

The village chief nodded, pointed at Shen Chen and said, "I met Shen Chen on the way back to see Doctor Luo off. After Shen Chen saw off Dr. Luo, he had to go to the Yamen, so I went with him. On the way, Shen Chen said I found out that someone had broken into the house. If the thief is really the thief, I am afraid that everyone in Chenyang Village will be in danger. Don’t worry, those people will be caught and brought to justice!"

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen unexpectedly.

Shen Chen also looked at her steadily, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Lin Xi was inexplicably panicked and looked back to thank the village chief.

After everything was said, the village chief said goodbye and went back to rest, saying that he would go to the Yamen tomorrow morning to take a confession.

After he left, only Lin Xi and Shen Chen were left, feeling suddenly embarrassed.

Lin Xi coughed twice and said: "Actually, this matter is simple. As long as the Four Treasures wake up, you will know who it is. But the Four Treasures can't wake up for a while, so it's... a little troublesome."

"It doesn't matter, I will find a way." Shen Chen whispered.

Lin Xi didn't know what to say, so she thought about it and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? We left some for you, just wait, I'll heat it up for you."

After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but Shen Chen held her back.

The man's body temperature was particularly scorching. Lin Xi was agitated and stammered: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, please say it. Don't...don't..."

You don’t doubt that she did it, do you?

She was wronged!

However, what Lin Xi heard was a low murmur: "I'm sorry."

"...Ah? What did you say?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she heard wrongly.

Shen Chen looked at her and said, "I didn't mean to do it today, it was just out of necessity. I apologize to you."

Lin Xi was now sure that he heard correctly. He opened his eyes wide and took a long time to react and said: "That...I understand. In fact, it's also...'Lin Xi' is wrong. In the past, he did a lot of injustice and bad things. No one wants to believe it, I understand that."

She understands Shen Chen.

But... I'm still angry and aggrieved.

After all, she is really worried about the Four Treasures and really thinks about the Four Treasures.

Oops, after all, it’s all the fault of the original owner!

Shen Chen looked deeply at Lin Xi and said, "I know."

Lin Xi cursed: You don’t know.

When he looked at Shen Chen again, Lin Xi's expression softened, "Then I'm not angry anymore. If you apologize, just apologize, there's no need to catch me."

She thought he was going to take action.

It scared her to death.

Shen Chen whispered: "If not, you wouldn't want to stop and listen to me."

Lin Xi blushed upon hearing this, and the blush quickly spread from her cheeks to the back of her neck. She felt so hot that she reluctantly shook off Shen Chen's hand.

Shen Chen let her break away this time.

Lin Xi said: "I'm not really unreasonable. How can I really not listen to what you say? Just... next time you tell me properly and don't keep a straight face."

Shen Chen looked at her and hummed.

Lin Xi coughed twice and said, "What about that? I'll heat up some food for you. You go and see the four treasures. She misses you."

"how about you?"

"Ah?" Lin Xi didn't realize what he meant and said, "Didn't I say that I would heat up food for you?"

Shen Chen was silent for a moment and nodded.

Lin Xi felt something was strange, so she instinctively didn't want to think about it anymore, so she turned around and went to the kitchen.

Shen Chen watched her go in, then closed the courtyard door and entered the house.

In the kitchen, Lin Xi suddenly patted his face and murmured: "Lin Xi, Lin Xi, you are so worthless! Stay calm, stay calm! Do you know what your first priority is? Make money! Everything else is important. It's a floating cloud, not yours!"

After hypnotizing himself for a while, Lin Xi calmed down and lit a fire to heat food for Shen Chen.
