"What...what happened?"

Jing Li was startled by the kid who suddenly pounced on him, and looked up. Qin Zhao and Xiao Yue were standing side by side by the window, with more guilty expressions on their faces than the other.

Jing Li: “…”

Today was a rare sunny day after the snow. Jing Li was originally making a snowman in the yard. Who would have thought that the little brat would suddenly rush towards him crying and step on the snowman he had just made and break it.

...I feel so sad.

Jing Li looked at the remains of the snowman in front of him and felt distressed for a moment before he bent down and picked up the crying little kid.

The little fish immediately hugged Jing Li's neck tightly, sobbing in grievance.

Children of this age, if they don't cry, it's fine. Once they start crying, they can't stop. Jing Li patiently tried to coax them for a long time, but to no avail.

There were outsiders at home, and Jing Li was worried that the kid's emotions would fluctuate too much and he would accidentally reveal his true form. He could only glare at the two "culprits" who made the child cry, and carried the kid back to the inner courtyard.

Back in the house, the little fish cub calmed down a lot, and soon he was tired of crying. The little cub lay in Jing Li's arms and closed his eyes. Tears were still hanging on his long eyelashes, and he looked aggrieved.

Jing Li finally coaxed his baby to sleep and yawned softly.

He had been busy taking care of Qin Zhao for most of the night and hadn't slept well to begin with.

Jing Li simply lay down on the bed with her baby in her arms and took a nap in the warm winter sunshine.

This was the scene Qin Zhao saw when he pushed the door open.

Inside, a kang (kang) was burning, creating a comfortable temperature. Jing Li lay bareheaded, her back to him, her body slightly curled up, her clothes revealing her thin spine.

Qin Zhao walked forward quietly and hugged the person from behind.

The young man stirred drowsily, his eyes still closed, and said in a light and sleepy voice, "Master Xiao is gone?"

Qin Zhao replied, "Yes, let's go."

Jing Li made room for him and asked quietly, "Did you really agree to let him stay overnight yesterday?"

Qin Zhao was stunned.

His little fish is becoming smarter and smarter.

"No." Qin Zhao admitted bluntly, "He acted on his own initiative."

The fish cub in his arms was still sleeping soundly. Jing Li rested his chin on the cub's soft hair, a smile on his lips: "You guessed it right."

"How did you guess that?"

Jing Li: "Given your personality, if you wanted to keep someone at your house, you should have informed me in advance."

Qin Zhao nodded: "Indeed."

"But..." Jing Li rubbed his eyes, seeming to be extremely sleepy, his voice unclear, "I can't just turn people away at that time, so I decided for myself."

"But I asked Ah Qi to help me watch him last night."

Qin Zhao said gently, "You did the right thing."

Jing Li's way of handling the situation last night was the best, even better than Qin Zhao expected.

Since coming to live in the provincial capital, Qin Zhao can clearly feel Jing Li's growth.

But I also feel a little sad.

Qin Zhao nuzzled Jing Li's neck and whispered, "Why don't you ask me who he is?"

No answer.

Qin Zhao waited for a while before he realized that the boy's breathing in his arms had become calm and even, and he had obviously fallen asleep.

Qin Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It looked like this guy probably didn't sleep all night again yesterday.

He pulled the quilt over, tightly covering the two in his arms, one big and one small, and closed his eyes.

.

Xiao Yue's visit seemed like just an episode in the peaceful life. Jing Li never asked about the other party's identity afterwards, as if he didn't care about it.

It was just that Qin Zhao's illness relapsed, and naturally he was confined to his home by his husband again.

That morning, the family was having breakfast when Ah Qi came to announce that someone was visiting.

The only one who would come at this hour would be the young master of the Gu family.

Jing Li was originally feeding the little fish porridge. He put down the spoon when he heard this, causing the little fish in his arms to scratch his sleeve unhappily.

"Tell him to wait for me in the study." Qin Zhao ordered. Seeing Jing Li's face darken slightly, he asked with a smile, "Unhappy?"
