Around six o'clock, the little bundle of flesh lying on the bed stirred slightly, then poked its head out from under the covers. Before even opening its eyes, it started shouting loudly.

"Daddy! Mommy!"

He must have cried too much during the day, because although his voice was loud, it was extremely hoarse.

Meanwhile, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying were actually sitting on the bed, embracing each other. Hearing his shout, they immediately came close to him. "Baby, we're here!"

The little guy rubbed his still red and swollen eyes, opened them, looked at Yan Shao, and then at Zhu Qianying.

When he saw Zhu Qianying's red and swollen eyes, he was first taken aback, then his eyes reddened, and he raised his little hand to touch Zhu Qianying's eyelids, "Mommy, why are you crying?"

Zhu Qianying grabbed his small hand, gently nibbled on it, and honestly admitted it.

"Yes, Mommy cried." Zhu Qianying knew that she was not a god, so she had her own joys and sorrows.

She never intended to portray herself as a perfect mother who never cries, never feels wronged, and never complains in front of her son.

Zizai frowned slightly and shifted his gaze to Yan Shao's face. "Daddy, did you bully my mommy again?"

Before Yan Shao could answer, Zhu Qianying interrupted and replied.

“Baby, your daddy didn’t bully Mommy. Mommy just wanted to have a good cry, so I cried. After crying, Mommy feels much better now.”

As Zhu Qianying spoke, she moved the little one's hand to her heart.

"Baby, look, isn't Mommy's heart beating much faster than usual?"

The little guy looked at Zhu Qianying with a skeptical expression. Zhu Qianying nudged Yan Shao's arm with her elbow, "Bring the mirror over..."

Yan Shao didn't quite understand her intention, but he didn't ask anything. He propped himself up, stretched out his long arm, took the mirror from the counter, and handed it to Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying took the mirror and held it out to Zizai.

"Hey, baby, take a look!"

Zizai looked at Zhu Qianying with a puzzled expression before turning his gaze to the mirror.

When he saw himself in the mirror, he was first astonished, and then he burst out laughing.

"Mommy, Zizai's eyes look like peaches!"

Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Baby, are you happy now?" Zhu Qianying patted the little guy's head.

"Yes! I'm happy! I'm happy as long as I can see Daddy and Mommy when I open my eyes!" the little guy said seriously.

Zhu Qianying suppressed the urge to hug her son tightly and kiss him profusely, and said, "That's right, because Zizai cried a lot just like Mommy! So, in the future, if you encounter something very sad, Zizai should cry loudly. After crying, all this unhappiness will say goodbye to us!"

In the past, Zhu Qianying was used to enduring everything. Even when she was very sad, she rarely cried because she felt that crying was a sign of weakness.

But after today, her opinion has completely changed.

She herself couldn't say how long she cried in Yan Shao's arms, but when she felt that she had cried all her tears, the depression and pain in her heart disappeared little by little with the tears.

Now, she felt incredibly relieved.

Therefore, she believes that, like her, after recounting that painful experience and having a good cry, Zai Zai had already let go of the trauma and pain it brought him.

Because he has washed away his fear with tears, and now, Zai Zai should have overcome that hurdle.

"Mommy, I understand!"

As Zizai spoke, he looked up and gave Zhu Qianying a sweet smile.

And his eyes, as always, shone with a dazzling light.

That was the pure, innocent radiance unique to children his age, clear and bright, without a trace of impurity or distraction.

During dinner, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan were startled when they saw Zhu Qianying and Zizai's red and swollen eyes, and they both stared at Young Master Yan in unison.

"Xiao Han, what did you do to Ying'er and Zizai?"

When Zhu Qianying and Zizai returned in the afternoon, Zizai was asleep, so the two elders did not see Zizai's red and swollen eyes.

Now, at first glance, she quickly pulled the little guy to her side and took good care of him. In her words, Grandma Yan did not forget to scold Yan Han.

"Grandma, this has nothing to do with him. Zizai and I just watched a movie and we were so moved that we cried."

When it comes to the elderly, people try to keep it from them as much as possible. After all, at their age, even the slightest shock could cause them to break down!

Especially since it's their precious great-grandson, Zizai, they would be furious if they knew what suffering Zizai had endured.

Zizai looked at his mother, then at his great-grandparents, and probably realized something. He tugged at his great-grandmother's clothes and told her the name of a movie in English.

The mother and son did indeed watch this movie together, and they did cry their eyes out during the screening.

Although Grandma Yan is old, she studied abroad in her younger years, so she had seen the movie that Zizai mentioned, and the content was indeed very touching.

She looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law with some skepticism, but seeing that they didn't seem flustered at all, and looking at the adorable little boy Zizai who was speaking so seriously, she finally believed Zhu Qianying and Zizai's reasoning.

The family happily gathered together for dinner. Yan Shao got up and put some tender meat on his parents' plates. "Grandpa and Grandma, we're going back to L City tomorrow. We'll come back to see you with my parents in a while."

Grandpa Yan's expression immediately darkened. "Didn't Xiao Ting say that Zizai would stay for ten days or half a month? You two can leave whenever you want, as long as Zizai stays."

Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao exchanged a glance. It seemed that Yan Ting had told them what he had said, and then told Old Master Yan about it when they got back.

"Grandpa, Zizai's school is starting its exam period now. How about he stays with you during his summer vacation?"

It wasn't that Yan Shao didn't want his son to keep his parents company; rather, it was because the condition of Zizai was still uncertain, so Yan Shao hoped that he and Zhu Qianying could stay by his side.

Grandpa Yan glared at him fiercely, "Do you think I don't know? Zizai has always been the top student in the whole grade! Whether he attends more or less classes a few days won't affect him."

As soon as Grandpa Yan finished speaking, Zizai raised his little hand in protest, "Great-Grandpa, Zizai is a good student and cannot skip school without a reason!"
