Because subconsciously remembering the current environment is unsafe, Shu Shuishui didn’t fall into a deep sleep. He woke up early the next day.

He still held the 18th hazelnut he counted yesterday in his arms. Shu Shuishui sat up from the bed, yawned widely, turned his little head, and found that Gu Langu was still sleeping beside him.

Shu Shuishui’s small bed was placed on the bedside table next to Gu Langu’s bed, within reach of Gu Langu’s hand.

He recounted the hazelnuts he counted last night one by one, then put them back into the spiritual storage. Hazelnuts were the favorite food of hazel dormice, so when Shu Shuishui was on Earth, he chose to settle in a hazelnut forest. It was because he was in the hazelnut forest that Shu Shuishui didn’t store too many hazelnuts in the spiritual storage.

undefinedOne could say that each hazelnut selected by Shu Shuishui and placed in the spiritual storage was a ‘love at first sight’. The hazelnuts were exceptional to him, even though they may not have meant much to others. But for Shu Shuishui, not even a diamond could match the value of his own hazelnut.

Shu Shuishui had been tired from counting hazelnuts yesterday, and now that he was awake, he realized that the extra hazelnut must have been the one he gave to Gu Langu. Shu Shuishui felt a little embarrassed, so he affectionately stroked the 18th hazelnut he was holding and gave it a kiss.

The distance between the bedside table and the bed was very short, and Gu Langu had quietly moved over yesterday.

Therefore, Shu Shuishui stepped on the bedside table, then with an easy run and a leap, the mouse jumped lightly onto Gu Langu’s bed.

Gu Langu was already awake but had remained motionless out of curiosity about how the little dormouse would react while he was asleep. With his eyes closed, he suddenly felt a slight weight on the bed beside him, followed by two light bounces.

Then, a little dormouse walked over, step by step, leaving little pits on the bed without disturbing Gu Langu’s breathing. However, Shu Shuishui didn’t notice that Gu Langu was already awake and continued to make little pits on the bed before reaching the edge of Gu Langu’s pillow.

Once again, he rubbed his perfect hazelnut against his cheek and quietly extended his paw to slightly lift the edge of Gu Langu’s pillow. Then, he bent his small body and pushed the 18th hazelnut under Gu Langu’s pillow.

Although Gu Langu hadn’t opened his eyes, he clearly sensed Shu Shuishui’s actions. Shu Shuishui returned the hazelnut with his fondness and attachment, then agilely ran back to his small bed, covered himself with a small blanket, and pretended to sleep.

Even before mechanization, Gu Langu had never experienced such tenderness.

Shu Shuishui obviously guessed the origin of the hazelnut and, fearing awkwardness, quietly hid the 18th hazelnut under his own pillow. It was just yesterday that he almost cried while counting hazelnuts.

Gu Langu smirked while lying on the pillow, thinking that if there was such a cute little creature accompanying him every morning, he would be willing to spend time in meaningless hibernation every day.

Gu Langu opened his eyes and it seemed as if he had just woken up, while the dormouse on the opposite bed immediately revealed his signature smile and waved his chubby paw. “Hi, good morning! I just woke up too.”

Caught red-handed by the mouse (^-^)

Gu Langu stretched out his slender arm and used his fingers to stroke Shu Shuishui’s fur. “Good morning, Shuishui.”

Shu Shuishui, being stroked by such good-looking hands early in the morning: ( ̄ˇ ̄)

After getting up, they nurtured their relationship as main pet and owner and went to freshen up together.
