"Delicious." Lu Shifan gave Wei Qing a thumbs up.

Wei Qing was extremely satisfied. Xiao Fanfan was nothing like the eldest brother; Xiao Fanfan was simply a little angel.

After Lu Shifan finished eating and drinking, he immediately remembered something very serious. "Dad, you didn't tell Mom about my illness, did you?"

"No."

The little guy breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Lu Zhengye raised an eyebrow.

Lu Shifan quickly explained, "I was afraid Mommy would worry."

Are you worried about your mom, or are you afraid she won't let you eat so many snacks anymore?

Lu Shifan's thoughts were written all over his face, and Lu Zhengye could see right through him.

"Of course I'm afraid Mommy will worry," Lu Shifan pouted, refusing to admit it.

He had just recovered from his fever, so Lu Zhengye didn't hold it against him.

He said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Lu Shifan frowned, looking like he didn't want to leave.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhengye asked.

Lu Shifan said, "Can I stay at your place for one night? If I go back, my mother will have to come back to take care of me. She hasn't been able to get together with my godmother for a long time because of me, and I want her to have some fun."

"Besides, I really don't want her to know I'm sick; she won't be able to sleep all night."

Lu Zhengye: "...Okay, then I'll go home."

Lu Zhengye was talking about going home.

Lu Shifan immediately beamed with joy and opened his arms to Lu Zhengye.

Lu Zhengye pulled him into his arms with one hand.

Lu Shifan kissed him on the cheek and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, Dad."

Lu Zhengye was somewhat dazed. This was the third person besides his mother and Lin Yusheng who was close to him. This was his blood relative, the fruit of his love and his partner's love. This kind of feeling was very subtle.

He couldn't help but smile. "That's your home too. You can stay here however you like. No need to thank me."

"Then can Mom stay there whenever she wants?"

Lu Zhengye paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, if she's willing."

Lu Shifan happily kissed Lu Zhengye twice on the cheek.

Wei Qing looked on with envy. Oh no, he was still single and really wanted a child.

Lu Zhengye canceled his work for the day and took Lu Shifan home.

Xu Yifan said that Xiao Shifan might have a relapse, so Lu Zhengye was not at all at ease.

After Lu Zheng finished wiping Lu Shifan's body, Lu Shifan said, "Dad, I want to call Mom."

"good."

Lu Zhengye felt this was the right thing to do, especially since he had seen the note Lin Yusheng had left on the table when he returned.

But he already knew her number by heart, so there was no need for him to look at it.

He skillfully typed a string of numbers on the keyboard, thought for a moment, and then saved it to his contacts.

In an attempt to cover up his actions, he didn't even dare to add a note, as if this would allow him to deceive himself into believing that he had no improper thoughts.

Xiao Fan was very excited. Seeing that his father had only saved the number, he frowned and said, "Dad, I want to see Mom. I want to video chat. Don't you have Mom's WeChat?"

Lu Zhengye took his phone back and sent a friend request. He hesitated for a long time before typing: "Lu Shifan wants to video chat with you."

Lin Yusheng accepted the request instantly, and a video call immediately followed.

Lu Zhengye suddenly felt that the phone was like a hot potato.

Lu Shifan didn't think so. He happily snatched the phone, swiped it, and answered the call directly.

"Mommy."

The moment Lin Yusheng's face appeared on the screen, Lu Zhengye clenched his fist in nervousness.

Lu Shifan was very close to the phone camera, his small face filling the entire screen of Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng couldn't help but smile gently, "Fanfan, where are you?"

"I'm at Daddy's house, Mommy. I'm not coming home tonight. You and Godmother have fun."

Lin Yusheng immediately noticed the hoarseness in her son's voice, and her face showed concern. "Fanfan, are you sick?"

At this moment, Lu Zhengye felt an unprecedented sense of tension.

Lu Shifan didn't know how his mother found out, but he didn't want to lie to her.

"Yes, Mommy, I'm sorry. I ate too many snacks. It's not Daddy's fault."

Lu Zhengye: "..."

Lin Yusheng felt both sorry for him and amused. "Didn't Mommy tell you that you shouldn't eat too many snacks?"

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again, Mommy~"

Lu Shifan is always the quickest to admit his mistakes, and he's very sincere. Plus, with his coquettish tone, most people just can't handle him.

"This is a one-time exception," Lin Yusheng said, feigning seriousness.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Lu Shifan nodded frantically, being unusually obedient.

Then she saw that her mother was still wearing the same pajamas she wore at home, and couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, have you gone home?"

"Um."

Shen Yishu strongly wanted her to stay and keep her company for the night, but Lin Yusheng was afraid that her son would not see her when he returned, so she insisted on going home.

She hadn't expected her son to not come home tonight, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But seeing how well Fanfan and Aye got along made her happy.

Lu Shifan also felt sorry for his mother being home alone, and immediately said, "Then I'll go back and keep you company."

"No need, you stay with Daddy in Mommy's place."

Lu Shifan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Where's Dad?" Lin Yusheng asked, her heart pounding with anxiety.

The camera tilted, and with Lu Shifan's cry of "Here!", Lu Zhengye's flawless face appeared on the screen.

The two locked eyes, the atmosphere ambiguous and awkward.

The moment came so suddenly that both of them unconsciously looked away.

"Hey, Fanfan, could you give your phone to your dad? Mom has something to say to him."

"good."

Once the phone was in Lu Zhengye's hands, no more faces appeared on the screen.

Lin Yusheng said, "Fanfan's health isn't very good. Once she gets a fever, it's easy for it to relapse. You might have to work a little harder tonight and check on her a few more times. Just use physical methods to lower her temperature."

Her voice was gentle, without a trace of blame.

Lu Zhengye was a little embarrassed. He said, "I know, it's what I should do."

"Um."

The two remained silent.

Xiao Lu Shifan tilted his head to the side, looking anxious.

Why are Mom and Dad like this? Don't they have mouths?

Lin Yusheng: "Then call me if you need anything."

"good."

Lin Yusheng was the one who hung up the phone first.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shifan, looking like a little adult, sighed and shook his head at Lu Zhengye.

"You're going to erode Mommy's courage."

Lu Zhengye: "...Just how many things that are not things someone your age should know are stored in your head?"

"What should a boy know at what age? I don't know, but the TV said that boys should be proactive, direct, and brave, but I don't think any of these qualities are possessed by fathers."

"Ha! If I didn't have these qualities, I wouldn't be where I am today."
