Chapter 4
On winter mornings, for those who like to stay in bed, getting up is simply torture.

In the previous life, Xi Jinyao was dependent on others, so no matter how much she didn't want to get up, she got up abruptly.

Because she got up early, it seemed that Wen Jingcan, who stayed in bed until eight or nine o'clock, was so ignorant, so adults like to compare the two when they have nothing to do.

The Wen family is different from some families. As long as they don't go to school, the girls can still get a good night's sleep in the morning, so everyone just talked about it, and didn't really try to pick Wen Jingcan out of bed.

While seemingly criticizing Wen Jingcan, everyone felt sorry for the sensible Xi Jinyao, but persuading her to catch up on sleep many times in the morning was of no avail. Gradually, everyone got used to it.

Xi Jinyao remembered the reason why Wen Jingcan didn't like her at the beginning, and this was also part of it.

Just as she was about to lift the quilt, she bent down to look at Wen Jingcan who was still soundly asleep when she got out of bed, and she finally chose to sleep under the quilt with her eyes open.

Waking up early has been a habit for many years, and now she just wants to sleep, but she can't.

Jian Xiaoyu habitually came over to see if Wen Jingcan had kicked the quilt. After opening the door lightly, she found that Xi Jinyao had opened her eyes, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Did it wake you up?"

Xi Jinyao wrapped herself in a quilt and sat up from the bed, and replied softly, "No, I woke up just now, but it was too cold, so I didn't get up."

Seeing that Wen Jingcan was still sleeping soundly, Jian Xiaoyu shook his head slightly and said to Xi Jinyao with a smile, "The stove is just starting to burn, and it's not warm enough yet. Go to sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up when it's warmer."

"Okay." Xi Jinyao replied, and slowly lay back on the bed.

Estimating that it was almost nine o'clock, she picked up the clothes on the other side of the bed and put them on. Just as she opened the door, she ran into Yi Qingxuan.

"Get up, go wash your face and brush your teeth and have breakfast."

Hearing her talking to her, Xi Jinyao was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, but fortunately Wen Jingxuan appeared in time to save the two of them.

Wen Jingxuan walked to her side quickly, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "My mother is asking me to call you, go wash up and have breakfast."

Xi Jinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards the bathroom, leaving Yi Qingxuan standing there inexplicably.

The three brothers Wen Jingxuan got up early, Xi Jinyao came out of the bathroom, and when they entered the restaurant, they were being forced to read the newspaper by Wen Zhengcheng.

They raised their heads at the same time when they heard the sound of the door opening. Wen Zhengcheng said with a smile, "The child is up, please sit down."

But Wen Jingli just cast a casual glance at her, and then continued to lower his head to read the newspaper that he couldn't understand at all.

Wen Jingyu became energetic all of a sudden, and wanted to talk to Xi Jinyao, but because of Wen Zhengcheng's majesty, he could only continue pretending to be a child, pointing to the words on the newspaper and asking Wen Zhengcheng how to pronounce it.

Compared with the two brothers, Wen Jingxuan was much more casual. He put down the newspaper and stood up, pointing to a stool next to him and said, "It's warmer here, come and sit here, and I'll bring you the noodles."

Xi Jinyao wanted to say no, but he had already walked towards the kitchen, so she had to obediently go over and sit down.

Wen Jingxuan came back soon, and he put the noodles on the table in front of Xi Jinyao. Besides the big bowl with noodles, there was also a small bowl with chopped green onions: "I don't know if you like green onions, so my mother didn't put them in. Add it yourself if you want."

Xi Jinyao looked at the small bowl of chopped green onion, but didn't raise her hand to pick up the chopsticks for a long time.

He was also like this in his previous life. He didn't mention it, but he knew that he didn't eat onions. At that time, he was young and didn't think deeply about it. The chopped green onion stuck to the dish was picked up, so I told Jian Xiaoyu specially.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't move, Wen Jingxuan asked suspiciously.

Xi Jinyao regained consciousness, raised her hand to pick up the chopsticks, and did not answer his question, but stared at the noodles in front of her and said, "This noodles are really delicious."

It's just a very simple home-cooked noodle soup. There are two spoonfuls of unstirred minced meat and a fried poached egg on the noodles. Wen Jingxuan eats it every day and doesn't feel how delicious it is, but seeing that she really likes it, he opened his mouth Said: "Eat more if you like it." Then she returned to her seat and sat down, occasionally looking up at her who was eating noodles.

Xi Jinyao was almost full before Wen Jingcan came in. She sat down at the table without saying a word. This time Wen Jinxuan did not come back soon. Xi Jinyao knew that he was cooking noodles for Wen Jingcan in the kitchen.

Because she didn't know when Wen Jingcan would sleep until she woke up, Jian Xiaoyu didn't cook her share, so that the task of cooking breakfast for Wen Jingcan was handed over to 14-year-old Wen Jingxuan.

Just as Xi Jinyao stood up and was about to take the bowl to the kitchen, there was a sound of opening the door, and then Luo Yuexin's voice sounded: "Hurry up, it's really cold outside."

Wen Hao stood behind her, holding two baskets of vegetables in his hand, and said, "It's not just that I'll go, but you still have to follow."

Luo Yuexin changed her shoes and went to the iron stove to warm her hands: "I'm not going, what kind of dishes do you know? Last time I asked you to go by yourself, but you bought sow pork and came back."

Hearing her talking about sow pork, Wen Hao stopped talking and walked into the kitchen with vegetables.

Seeing that Xi Jinyao was holding a bowl in her hand, Luo Yuexin knew that she had eaten breakfast, so she reached out to take the bowl over: "Son, sit down."

Xi Jinyao's hand touched her cold fingertips, and she quickly put the bowl into her arms: "Grandma Wen, I'll just take it myself. You just came back from outside, let's warm up first."

Luo Xinyue looked at the back of Xi Jinyao walking into the kitchen, and said to Wen Jingcan who was sitting there waiting for food: "Look at Xiaoyao, you two are the same age, when will you be as sensible as her?"

Xi Jinyao, who was about to wash the dishes in the kitchen, finally gave up on washing the dishes after hearing Luo Yuexin's words, and simply washed her hands.

As soon as I finished washing, a clean dry towel was handed over to me: "I'll just wash the bowl later, just wipe your hands in it."

Xi Jinyao looked up at him. There was a big gap in height between the two of them, but now they were very close, so she only saw the slightly protruding Adam's apple on his neck, and the tip of his nose was filled with his breath, which inexplicably made her face twitch. The temperature started to rise, so scared that she quickly lowered her head to take the towel, dried her hands, turned around and hung the towel on the wall skillfully.

Wen Jingxuan stared at the towels on the wall in a daze. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Xi Jinyao entered the kitchen, right?She didn't look around curiously when she came in just now, so how could she know that the towels were hanging in this place?It was as if she had done it thousands of times in one go.
