Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending t...
Chapter 175 Baoer finally has a name
That night, it was rare that Su Nian did not arrange any study tasks.
While Bao Er was asleep, the two of them snuggled on the sofa, Si Yan's fingertips twirling around the ends of her hair. Neon lights flickered outside the window, and the room was warm and quiet.
Su Nian leaned on his shoulder and sighed: "It seems like I haven't been able to stay so quiet for a long time." She has been very busy during this period.
Si Yan lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his voice filled with laughter: "Well, charge for five minutes and it will be on standby for a whole day. Charge it now and continue to be Superman tomorrow."
Late at night, Baoer kept crying for some reason. Su Nian held him and tried to comfort him for a long time but it was no use. She was so tired that her eyelids were drooping.
Si Yan came out of the study upon hearing the sound, and took the child naturally. He imitated the nanny Sister Wang, letting Baoer lie on his broad chest and patting her back gently and rhythmically with his big hands.
He even hummed a discordant song that Su Nian had never heard before.
Strangely enough, Baoer gradually stopped crying in his arms and calmed down.
Su Nian leaned against the door frame, looking at the scene in front of him, and his fatigue was instantly washed away by a huge warm current.
She teased, "Professor Si, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden skill?"
Si Yan turned around, his eyes gleaming with pride and tenderness: "That's right, I can tackle the problem, and I can also find the best solution when taking care of children."
Su Nian couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she heard Si Yan's words. She walked up to him and gently smoothed his clothes which were a little wrinkled from holding the child.
When my fingertips touched his warm skin, the anxiety about the future in my heart faded a little.
"From now on, if Baoer makes a fuss in the middle of the night, I'll have to rely on Professor Si." She deliberately lengthened her tone, her eyes full of smiles.
Si Yan freed one hand, gently grasped her wrist, and pulled her to his side, carefully avoiding the sleeping Baoer in his arms: "Don't worry, I will complete the task. However, if you miss Baoer in France, we can video chat. If you miss me..."
He paused, then lowered his voice with a hint of cunning, "You also have to tell me that I provide a 24-hour online sleep-inducing service."
Su Nian's heart felt soft as if it had been soaked in warm water.
"By the way, I want to go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy some complementary foods for Baoer that she likes, and I also need to stock up on the brand of coffee that you usually use." Su Nian suddenly remembered that their family would be going to France in a few days, and there were still some things that were not prepared.
Si Yan nodded: "I'll go with you. I also need to ask Sister Wang if there is anything I need to pay attention to, and whether Baoer's sleep and rest schedule has changed recently."
"Do you think Baoer can adapt to staying in France for two months?" Su Nian asked worriedly.
"His parents are both here, so why can't he adapt? Don't worry!" Si Yan said firmly, "Besides, with me as a walking 'comfort artifact', I guarantee the little guy will never want to leave."
The next afternoon, Si Yan pushed the shopping cart while Su Nian was selecting items beside him. Occasionally, she would discuss with Si Yan the taste of Baoer's complementary food.
"Baoer seems to like this pumpkin puree very much. He ate half a bowl last time." Su Nian picked up a can of pumpkin puree and turned to Si Yan.
Si Yan came over to look at the ingredient list and nodded, "Well, the ingredients are pretty clean. Take a few more cans."
After coming back from shopping, Sister Wang told Su Nian about Baoer's situation, and wrote some precautions on a piece of paper one by one, and handed it to Si Yan, "Mr. Si, please keep these. If you have any questions, feel free to call me." Si Yan took the note, folded it carefully and put it in his pocket, thanking him repeatedly.
Si Yan put the shopping items back in their proper places, while Su Nian went to check on Bao'er in her room. The little one was still asleep, a sweet smile on his face, and he wondered what sweet dream he had. Su Nian sat by the bed, gently holding Bao'er's hand, feeling a pang of reluctance.
"Don't be like this. Baoer and I are going to France to accompany you for two months." Si Yan stood behind her and gently hugged Su Nian, resting his chin on the top of her head.
Su Nian turned around and leaned in Si Yan's arms, her eyes red. "I know, but we'll still be separated in two months! I feel bad when I think about being away from you for so long."
Si Yan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and said softly, "I don't want to leave you either, but this is your dream and we have to support you. When you finish your studies in France, we will never be separated as a family again."
After dinner, Su Nian and Si Yan played with Baoer in the living room.
Four-month-old Baoer can already follow colorful objects and loves to laugh.
Su Nian picked up a soft ball and threw it to Si Yan, who caught it and threw it back. Baoer giggled with joy as he watched his parents interact.
Looking at the warm scene in front of him, Su Nian felt that having such a wonderful time was worth remembering and that was enough.
As the day for Su Nian to go to France draws closer, the two of them cherish every minute and every second together more and more.
They would push Baoer to the park for a walk together, squat down, and describe to Baoer the people, things and beautiful scenery they saw.
We would tell stories to Baoer together at night and watch her fall asleep to the stories.
When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, we'll snuggle up on the sofa, talk about future plans, and express what's in our hearts.
Su Nian knew that although she would miss someone in the future, with Si Yan and Bao Er around, she had the motivation to move forward.
Si Yan also secretly made up his mind to take good care of the family so that Su Nian could study in France with peace of mind.
In the blink of an eye, it’s early July, and the lovely little baby is about to start a trip to France with his parents.
In order to get a passport and register his household registration, Baoer finally got a real name - Si Yiqian, which was given by his great-grandfather. It was said that it had a source, but they did not find out what the source was.
Su Nian handed over all of Chen's work to Liu Zhihao.
Teacher Zhihao was under immense pressure, constantly muttering, "Su Nian, you'd better finish your studies and come back soon. I'm almost turning my hair grey with worry." "Su Nian, besides studying, it would be even better if you could share some of Chen's work!"
The same is true for Chen Ran. This old father also hopes that his daughter will finish her studies soon and come back to help him share the burden.
Before the family of three went abroad, they got together with their friends again.
Everyone at the party joked:
"Professor Si, are you going to take your child to France to study? Or are you going to do research?"
"Remember to send us a postcard, one with a photo of the three of you as a family!"
"Bao'er is already a travel expert at such a young age. He will definitely be very knowledgeable in the future!"
