Gu Momo brought Li Zixiao back to Jiupin Mingyuan.

As soon as he entered the house, he was drawn to the robotic female voice overhead welcoming them home.

The system's voice wasn't as mechanical as usual; instead, it carried a certain emotion.

The person who designed this thing must be extremely skilled in computer software and hacking.

Gu Momo walked ahead alone and realized that her son was not following her. She turned around and saw him looking up at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.

She frowned. Why was her son's reaction today so unusual?

Were they really scared by those unruly kids?

It's also possible that she hasn't spent much time with him lately...

Thinking of this, Gu Momo felt even more guilty towards her son. She quickly walked to his side and patted his head. "What are you thinking about, baby? You designed this thing, why are you surprised?"

Li Zixiao raised his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but only for a second before his expression returned to its usual calm.

The fairy aunt's son is also so amazing, and he's the same age as her.

Thinking of this, he felt a little jealous of the fairy aunt's son, who was able to have the fairy aunt all to himself.

Gu Momo went to the kitchen to heat up a bowl of soup, brought it out and put it on the table to cool, then went to her son's bedroom, filled the bathtub with water, and then turned back to the living room.

Li Zixiao stood in the center of the living room, his eyes fixed on the steaming soup on the table.

Gu Momo thought he was hungry, so she walked to his side and said softly, "Sweetie, drink later. You go take a shower with Mom first."

Li Zixiao was somewhat resistant. After Gu Momo pulled him to the bathroom, he stood by the bathtub without moving.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never liked others entering his life.

From the age of two, he had already learned to wash his face, brush his teeth, and take a bath by himself. In fact, no one was allowed to enter his room except for Li Zhanting and the nanny who raised him.

Now, he still felt somewhat resistant to taking off his clothes and bathing in front of the fairy aunt.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Gu Momo said with a half-smile, "What? Do you still want your mother to wash you? You're so old now, you should learn to be more independent."

Normally, Gu Jingxing would have already started acting cute and being a rascal. His favorite thing is for Gu Momo to help him take a bath, because he can play in the bathtub with his mom.

But the child in front of him was not Gu Jingxing, but Li Zixiao.

"Mommy..." Li Zixiao called out cautiously.

He seemed a little unaccustomed to it. "Could you... turn around?"

Gu Momo almost thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"

“Turn around,” Li Zixiao emphasized again.

Gu Momo then realized that she hadn't misheard, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

The son who always pesters me to bathe him is actually shy today. It's like the sun has risen in the west.

Although confused, Gu Momo did as instructed.

"The shower gel is the blue one, and the shampoo is the creamy yellow one, you know?" Usually, she helps him with the washing, and she reminded him again because she was worried he wouldn't be able to find it.

Li Zixiao responded with an "Mmm" as he climbed into the bathtub.

"Then you can wash yourself first. Mommy will go wash your dirty clothes for you." Gu Momo picked up the clothes he had taken off, turned around and left the bathroom.

In another washroom, Gu Momo was scrubbing her clothes, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

How come this child has suddenly become so well-behaved and sensible?

After she absentmindedly finished washing and hanging up the clothes, Li Zixiao had also finished washing.

He came out wearing the little bathrobe he had prepared, his hair still wet and dripping, wrapped up like a little dumpling.

"Look at you, your hair isn't even dry." Gu Momo chuckled, quickly put down the clothes she was about to hang up, grabbed a clean towel, and gently began to dry his hair.

Li Zixiao stood there obediently, letting Gu Momo shake his head left and right.

The fairy aunt's movements are so gentle.

Oh, Daddy is very gentle too.

But Daddy is no match for the fairy auntie.

After quickly drying his hair, Gu Momo took her son back to the bathroom and took out a hairdryer to dry his hair.

Li Zixiao stood on the surface of the mirror, peering greedily at Gu Momo through the wet hair on his forehead and through his obstructed view.

Aunt Fairy is so beautiful.

She was not the radiant beauty he had first seen at the auction; she was a fairy-like aunt in casual clothes, and there seemed to be something strange about her.

She smelled of milk, and her fingers were smooth as she massaged his damp scalp, like tickling his heart.

This feeling is so comfortable; he wished he could lie down and snuggle into the arms of the fairy aunt.

Gu Momo felt her son's burning gaze, his eyes fixed on her face in the mirror. "What? Is there something on Mom's face?"

Li Zixiao shook his head and only said two words, "Beautiful."

Gu Momo was amused by him; Gu Jingxing's taciturn nature was strangely comical.

After drying her hair, Gu Momo made Li Zixiao drink the cooled soup before urging him to go back to his bedroom to rest.

Li Zixiao obediently lay down on the bed, but as soon as he lay down, he felt uncomfortable all over.

The night is very long, can he sleep with the fairy aunt?

The thought of sleeping with Gu Momo filled Li Zixiao with excitement, and he quickly and nimbly got out of bed.

Gu Momo came out of the bedroom wearing a bathrobe and suddenly saw a little one next to her bed.

Li Zixiao, holding a small children's pillow he brought from his bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed with longing eyes. His handsome, clean-cut face showed a hint of anticipation, making him look as cute as a little rascal.

Gu Momo chuckled at his adorable appearance: "What's wrong? Don't you always say that men should be independent? Do you suddenly want to sleep with Mommy tonight?"

It seems this little guy was really scared just now!

The person who prefers to sleep alone actually brought their own pillow today and asked to sleep together.

Li Zixiao: Yeah, he really wants to sleep with the fairy auntie.

Gu Momo walked over, pinched his nose, and threw him into the bed.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy is here with you."

Li Zixiao leaned on Gu Momo's shoulder and could clearly smell the warm scent emanating from her, like sunshine mixed with a hint of kapok flowers.

This feeling of warmth is just like that of a mother.

Thinking of this, Li Zixiao unconsciously tightened his grip on the hem of Gu Momo's pajamas.
