The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 40

With limited rooms available, Jiang Xu was originally supposed to sleep with Jiang Shaoyang, but thinking that his father needed him, Jiang Xu immediately rushed over without hesitation.

He Zhuo looked at the boy in front of him, who had the exact same face as him and was grinning foolishly: “I have a question for you.”

“Dad, what is it?”

Who does she like?

“Uncle Zhang Chao? He likes my mom.”

I’m talking about Jiang Youxi.

“Of course Mom likes you!” Jiang Xu said, exasperated. “Dad, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so insecure?”

He Zhuo was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes: “She likes me?”

“Yes, Mom only likes you.”

He Zhuo raised an eyebrow: “Do you think I’m a child?”

“Dad, everything I said is true, I didn’t lie to you!” Jiang Xu suddenly realized something and immediately corrected himself, “Oh, I misspoke, I meant that she will like you in the future.”

“…”

OK.

He’s a simple-minded fool; there’s no point in wasting your breath arguing with him.

Jiang Xu seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes lit up: “Dad, you don’t mind me calling you Dad anymore?”

He Zhuo then noticed his form of address.

No matter how many times he corrected him, the kid was very stubborn and refused to change a single word.

His gaze searched, carefully examining the boy before him.

He found it very strange.

Even though he didn’t have much patience to deal with this kid, deep down he always felt a strange sense of closeness to him.

He Zhuo’s expression was indifferent: “Rejection.”

Jiang Xu was not discouraged: “It’s okay, Dad. The more I call out to you, the faster you’ll become immune.”

“…”

What a resilient young man!

He Zhuo leaned back and said, “You can call me Dad if you want.”

“Really? Dad, you acknowledge me?!”

“No.”

“Huh? Then why did you agree to let me call you Dad?”

“Did you call Jiang Youxi ‘Mom’?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

He Zhuo stood up, patted his head, and smiled: “Then I have to be your dad.”

“…”

Okay.

Although he doesn’t acknowledge it, at least he can call me “Dad” now.

Isn’t this a kind of progress?

Jiang Xu was in a great mood: “Okay, Dad, can I sleep with you tonight?”

As she was about to climb onto the bed, He Zhuo stopped her with a kick.

“Don’t come up!”

“Why?” Jiang Xu asked, feeling wronged. “Dad, I haven’t slept with you in so long since I came here.”

Is this still the same dad who slept in the same bed with him since he was little and put him to sleep?!

He’s changed!

“I don’t like sleeping with people.”

Will it affect your sleep?

Jiang Xu also remembered that he had a sleep disorder.

“Um.”

“Okay, then I’ll sleep on the sofa next to you.”

Although I’m a little disappointed, Dad’s sleep is more important.

“Go to another room.”

“But I want to stay here.” The boy sat cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a cushion, looking pitiful as if he had been abandoned. “Dad, can I stay with you tonight?”

He Zhuo looked at him silently for a while: “Whatever you want.”

After saying that, he lay down and turned his back.

Not being chased away instantly lifted Jiang Xu’s spirits. He ran to turn off the lights, then hugged a blanket and lay down on the sofa.

The room fell silent instantly.

Soon, the sound of the boy’s even breathing could be heard from the sofa.

He Zhuo was used to sleeping alone in a room, but now that there was another person, it was even harder for him to fall asleep, which was already difficult for him.

Even lying on Jiang Youxi’s bed, surrounded by her scent, he couldn’t fall asleep.

A long time passed.

As the night wore on, the indoor heating gradually dissipated, and the room became increasingly cold.

The boy on the sofa was sleeping restlessly, his whole body huddled together from the cold, looking quite pitiful.

He Zhuo couldn’t stand it anymore, so he got up, walked over, and kicked the sofa with his foot: “Get up.”

Jiang Xu woke up groggily: “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Go to bed.

Jiang Xu glanced at the large bed subconsciously, understood what he meant, instantly sobered up, cheerfully said “okay,” and excitedly climbed back into bed with his pillow in his arms.

The silly boy, clutching his blanket, blinked his sleepy eyes and gave him a silly smile: “Dad, goodnight~”

“…”

Where did you learn this coquettish manner from?

He Zhuo then got into bed and lay down with him.

Another hour passed.

He still couldn’t sleep.

Meanwhile, the silly boy next to him was already fast asleep, his blanket kicked off, and his sleeping posture was terrible, almost pushing him off the bed.

He Zhuo shoved him into the bed, grabbed the blanket and threw it back over him.

He spent a sleepless night.

–

The next day.

When Jiang Youxi woke up and got out of bed, she saw He Zhuo and Uncle Jiang discussing how to make sweet peach shortbread on the balcony.

The two chatted and laughed, their atmosphere as harmonious as that of a father and son.

Everything outside the window was silvery white.

The snow that had fallen all night had finally stopped.

Jiang Youxi came out after brushing her teeth and saw that He Zhuo was still there, which puzzled her.

Aren’t you leaving today?

“I haven’t learned how to make sweet peach shortbread yet.”

“When will you learn it?”

He Zhuo glanced at her sideways: “What, are you trying to kick me out?”

That’s not what I meant.

“That might disappoint you.” He Zhuo walked to the sofa and sat down, his posture lazy and unrestrained. “My uncle thinks I’m a good person and efficient, so he asked me to stay here for a few days.”

Jiang Youxi asked in surprise, “Really?”

Why would I lie to you?

Uncle Jiang came out with a smile: “Xi Xi, it snowed heavily last night, and the main roads were blocked, making it difficult for vehicles to get in and out. In addition, He Zhuo has some free time these days, so I let him stay and go back in a few days when the main roads are clear.”

Jiang Youxi understood: “Okay, I see he and Jiang Xu are sleeping quite well, let them sleep together for the next few days.”

It’s a rare opportunity, so it would be good to let the father and son spend more time together and strengthen their relationship.

Zhang Chao happened to come over and call her.

Jiang Youxi then remembered that she had made an appointment with Zhang Chao to go to the market last night.

Jiang Youxi put on her winter gear, told her aunt and the others, and then got up and went out.

“Mom, I want to go too!” Jiang Xu had never been to a market before and was very curious. “I want to go to the market with you.”

“Okay, put on your clothes so you don’t catch a cold.”

He Zhuo got up and walked over: “I’ll go too.”

Jiang Youxi was taken aback: “What are you going to do?”

“Going to the market.”

“It will be very crowded at the market, will you be able to get used to it?”

Are you used to it?

“I’ve been going to the market since I was a child, how could I not be used to it?”

“I’ll get used to it.”

“…”

What a brilliant scholar!

And so, what started as a trip for two to the market ended up being for four.

Jiang Youxi hadn’t been to the market in a long time. As soon as she arrived at the market and saw the bustling scene of crowds of people, she felt like a fish in water, and her body and mind were relaxed. She excitedly looked around, curious about what the stalls were selling.

“Xixi, let’s go over there, there are things you like there.” Zhang Chao pointed to the bustling stalls not far away.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Seeing the two people walking in front of him, chatting and laughing, the man’s face darkened, and he looked very unhappy.

“Jiang Xu”.

Jiang Xu jogged up: “Dad, what’s wrong?”

He Zhuo gestured with his chin: “Go and get him out of the way.”

“Uncle Zhang Chao?”

“yes.”

“Why?”

He Zhuo looked at him: “Do you still want me to be your dad?”

Jiang Xu scratched his head: “Then what reason should I give?”

“I was just saying…” He Zhuo paused—

“My dad is going on a date with my mom.”
