"Why?" Ji Niandong smiled faintly, seeing him so happy made her happy too, but she feared his happiness had nothing to do with her.
"Because of Sister Tongtong, and also..." Lu Sinian placed the photo album he was holding to the side, then got up and touched the hat on his head with both hands, "Sister Tongtong, when did you make these? I’ve never seen them before, you’re really amazing!"
Lu Beichen hadn’t seen them either; she personally knitted scarves, and this kid was the first to have them.
"I knitted them while watching TV at home alone, does Nian Nian like them?" Ji Niandong asked again.
"I like them a lot!" Lu Sinian’s face was blushed with a smile.
Ji Niandong reached out and touched his face, "Even if you like it, you can’t wear it all the time; it’s a bit early to wear it in this weather."
"Sister Tongtong, it’s okay for me. I’m not hot at all, everyone says I look good wearing it."
She helped him take off the hat and found his short hair was sweaty, almost steaming. Hearing what he said, her heart ached.
Clearly, the child always liked her, why was she always overthinking?
But, it’s precisely because he always likes her, she’s afraid that someday he won’t!
Ji Niandong took a deep breath and reached out to take off his scarf and gloves, "Wait until it gets a bit colder, then wear them. Wearing them now could cause a rash."
Lu Sinian sighed regretfully, "When will it get cold? I still want to wear them to school and make them envious."
"Ambitious!" Lu Beichen couldn’t help but snort.
Lu Sinian rolled his eyes, "Dad, don’t be envious, I won’t lend them to you, besides, you can’t fit into mine."
Lu Sinian wiggled a bit and leaned back into Ji Niandong’s arms, feeling incredibly happy today.
Once back home, he couldn’t help but say, "Dad, today is my birthday."
"Didn’t I give you a gift?" he suddenly emphasized, and Lu Beichen asked in return.
"I know." Lu Sinian tilted his head slightly, "But today is still my birthday."
"So?" Lu Beichen patiently asked.
Lu Sinian held Ji Niandong’s hand and never let go, "So can Sister Tongtong sleep with me tonight?" The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Ji Niandong never expected him to make such a request and was momentarily stunned.
Lu Beichen remained silent for a few seconds, thinking about how the little woman had been looking at his son distractedly earlier, he turned and softly asked her opinion, "Do you want to sleep with Nian Nian?"
"Yes, I also want to sleep with Nian Nian." Ji Niandong nodded decisively.
Lu Beichen squinted, "How about we all sleep together?"
"No, I only want to sleep with Sister Tongtong." Little Bun’s attitude was clear.
Lu Beichen looked at his son and said, "Alright, I’ll help Nian Nian bathe first, you go shower too!"
Ji Niandong nodded, then finally smiled a bit, and turned to go to her room.
Lu Beichen went over and took his son’s hand to walk him to his room, "What are you up to now?"
"I don’t want to ruin things between you and Sister Tongtong." Little Bun’s face sensitively caught on to Lu Beichen’s inner doubts, hugging the frame in his hands, "I really want to bond with Sister Tongtong."
He spoke earnestly and sincerely, Lu Beichen stopped to observe him, and as he reached out, Lu Sinian thought he wanted to grab the frame and quickly held it behind him, "Don’t worry, I won’t let Sister Tongtong be sad, I like Sister Tongtong a lot, and I’ll treat Sister Tongtong well."
"So, that’s why you want to sleep with her?" Lu Beichen asked, and Little Bun lowered his head in silent agreement.
