Chapter 378

"It was a real headache when I was feeding those little guys."

Feeding the three little kids, Sui Sui, Nian Nian and Ning Ning, is a fierce battle with food.

Fortunately, we have Ningning, a little foodie who eats with relish no matter what is fed to him.

Moreover, he eats at an astonishing speed. Often, before you can put the next bite into his mouth, he will already be waiting impatiently with his mouth wide open.

To be honest, Suisui and the other two could be said to have been raised by Leng Zexi.

Ever since they were babies, Leng Zexi has shouldered the responsibility of taking care of them.

It wasn't until they were about one and a half years old that Leng Zexi felt it was time for the children to learn to eat by themselves.

At the beginning, those little spoons were always disobedient in their hands. They either fell to the ground or couldn’t scoop up anything. But these little guys wouldn’t give up easily. Since the spoons didn’t work, they just used their hands to grab things.

Seeing their faces and hands covered with food residue, Leng Zexi felt both angry and amused.

"They are much more difficult to serve than you! They are not as well-behaved and sensible as you and are easy to take care of." Leng Zexi comforted Xia Ruoan gently.

Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an's face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and she felt very happy: "Really?"

Leng Mohan, who was standing by, saw Xia Ruo'an's innocent and cute look and couldn't help but said jokingly, "Of course it's true! You're so easy to take care of, not a bit of trouble at all. It's just... sometimes being too well-behaved isn't good, I can't even find a reason to punish you!"

After saying that, he ruffled her hair and gave her a sly smile.

After hearing this, Xia Ruoan was confused for a moment and didn't quite understand what Leng Mohan meant.

Is it because he thinks she's not naughty or noisy enough?

While she was daydreaming, Leng Zexi had already swiftly cleared the dishes on the table and slowly walked towards them.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?" Leng Zexi asked softly, while stretching out his arms and gently hugging the person in front of him.

Feeling the body temperature and breath of the person in his arms, his heart gradually calmed down.

Xia Ruo'an raised his head slightly, stared at Leng Zexi, and slowly said, "Thinking about what you just said, what exactly do you mean? Do you actually want me to make a fuss, like when I suddenly lost my sight and threw a tantrum at you?"

As she spoke, she gently stretched out her hand and gently stroked Leng Zexi's face, as if she wanted to sense his true thoughts at the moment through touch.

Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan quietly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

He held Xia Ruo'an's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, then whispered: "Actually, I don't mean that. It's just that sometimes I feel distressed when I see that you are always too sensible and too strong."

Hearing Leng Zexi's words, Xia Ruoan's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

She lowered her head and said with a slightly choked voice: "Zexi, are you really not angry with me? Thinking back to the beginning, I went to save Senior Brother Gao at all costs, without considering my own safety at all, and ended up going blind."

"Not only that, now I need you to take care of me, a burden..." When she said this, she could no longer control her tears and they slid down her cheeks.

Leng Zexi quickly reached out to wipe away the tears from Xia Ruo'an's eyes and comforted her softly, "Little fool, don't say that about yourself. In that situation, anyone would have helped without hesitation."

"And all this is over. Aren't you fine now? As for taking care of you, this is what I should do."

"It's just that you are blind now, so I will just treat you as a child and raise you again."

However, Xia Ruoan's guilt was not alleviated in the slightest.

She continued to blame herself, "But I still feel sorry for you and the children. Especially when the accident happened, Ningning was right next to us and witnessed everything."

"He was so young, he must have been very scared. My heart aches when I think about this..."

Leng Zexi hugged Xia Ruoan tightly, rested his chin on her forehead, and said softly: "Don't let your imagination run wild, okay? Although Ningning is young, he is also a brave child."

After saying that, he kissed Xia Ruoan's forehead again to comfort her.

What they didn't tell her was that Ningning had a high fever on the night of the incident and had been calling for her all night.

"But I am really angry about your reckless act of saving other people's lives!"

"But at the same time, I can deeply understand your decision and state of mind at that time."

"Compared to anger, my deepest feelings are more about pity and relief for you. Thank God, you are safe in the end."

"Jiaoan, your noble spirit of sacrificing yourself to help others is admirable, but I do not encourage you to do so again in the future. Compared with anyone else, my greatest concern is always your safety."

"Roan, this is enough for an incident like this."

"I sincerely hope that when you are in danger, you will put your own safety first. Even if I am the one in danger, I would rather bear the pain alone than see you get hurt."

Leng Zexi finally spoke out these words that had been hidden deep in his heart.

"In my eyes, as long as you are well, all the beauty in the world cannot compare to this."

After saying this, he stretched out his arms and hugged the person in front of him tightly, as if he wanted to convey all his deep affection through this hug.

"I can't imagine what life would be like without you, so don't be so impulsive next time, okay? Although it may seem a little cruel, your safety is more important to me."

"You can help others, but I hope you can do it within your ability. Promise me, okay?" Leng Zexi said worriedly.

"Okay, put your own safety first." Xia Ruoan nodded in response.

Leng Zexi arranged the work and spent the whole afternoon chatting with her, mostly listening to Xia Ruoan talking, and he agreed with her from time to time and gave some suggestions.

Leng Zexi suddenly realized that he really hadn't been able to chat with her about anything so simple recently.

"I've been spending less time with you recently, and I haven't listened to you as much as I do now." Leng Zexi apologized.

"Then this is a blessing in disguise for us. We can have time to chat together." Xia Ruoan looked up and said.
