Are you gone?

"A-choo!" Before he could finish his words, Li Xia sneezed.

She washed her hair, but it was not completely dry yet. Gu Weicheng quickly said, "Your hair is not dry yet. Let me help you dry it. Don't catch a cold later."

There were no hair dryers at that time, so hair was dried with a towel.

Li Xia has thick and long hair, so drying her hair is a big task.

Sometimes it takes half an hour to wipe it dry. With Gu Weicheng's active help, Li Xia can free her hands, so of course she would not refuse.

The Gu family and the Ma family were separated by a courtyard wall. When Mrs. Tao came out to pour bath water for the children, she happened to see Gu Weicheng wiping Li Xia's hair.

Li Xia sat on the stool and Gu Weicheng stood, looking considerate.

Mrs. Tao thought of her own father, Lao Ma, who dozed off on the sofa after drinking and snored loudly. Now that he had woken up, he didn't even bother to help her with the work.

Thinking of how Gu Weicheng was nervous about Li Xia, he also wanted to try her old horse.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Tao cleared her throat and called out in a hoarse voice: "Lao Ma, come out for a moment and help me pour some water. I can't carry it!"

This voice made Captain Ma feel uncomfortable.

Coming out and taking a look into the bucket, Captain Ma reached out to touch Mrs. Tao's forehead and said curiously, "She doesn't have a fever either."

Mrs. Tao was so angry that she hit him on the hand and cursed: "Ma Guoqiang, who do you say has a fever? You are the one who has a fever!"

Captain Ma asked, "So you can't even lift this half bucket of water today? Normally you can't lift a full bucket of water, so if you don't have a fever, what is it?"

Mrs. Tao was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Captain Ma, cursed him as "playing the lute to a cow", picked up the bucket and walked away briskly.

Captain Ma looked at Mrs. Tao's back and muttered, "Isn't this something you can carry? What are you asking me to do?"

Mrs. Tao said without even turning her head: "Get out of here!"

The noise in the two yards could be heard by either family.

Mrs. Tao and Captain Ma were arguing, and Gu Weicheng and Li Xia next door could hear it clearly.

Li Xia smiled and said, "Captain Ma really doesn't understand romance. Sister Tao must be very angry."

Gu Weicheng felt strange. He used to be just like Captain Ma. He didn’t understand women’s minds at all, let alone how to take care of people.

But since Li Xia came, he found that there were some things that he didn't need to learn. As long as he thought about that person in his heart, he would naturally do things thoughtfully.

He was glad that he was more quick to understand than Captain Ma, otherwise it would be Li Xia who would tell him to get out.

After their hair was dried, they returned to the bedroom.

When An An saw them, he ran over excitedly and said, "Mom, mom, I saw a riddle in the book, but there are some words I don't know. Mom, read it to me and I will guess it, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, take a look. Is this the right one?" Li Xia pointed to the riddle in the book. "Its mouth is like a small shovel, its feet are like small fans, it walks left and right, and it paddles a boat on the water. Guess what animal this is?"

An An knows a few words, but not many. For example, in this riddle, he only knows a few simple words, such as 小, 子, 左, 水, 上…

"The mouth is like a small shovel...the feet are like small fans..." An An supported his chin with both hands and thought hard.

After a while, his eyes lit up and he answered, "Mom, is it a duck? A duck's beak is flat like a small shovel, its feet are like fans, it walks unsteadily, and it can swim!"

"Yes, it's the duck. Mommy's baby is so great!" Li Xia did not hesitate to give her praise.

He leaned over and kissed An An's soft cheek.

After being kissed by Li Xia last time, An An was no longer as shocked as the first time, but she was still very happy.

His mother praised him for being great, called him baby, and kissed him!

Next time he wants to play riddles with his mother!

Gu Weicheng looked at his wife and son in front of him, especially his son who was kissed on the face by his wife and smiled with joy showing his snow-white teeth.

Why is he so jealous?

In the evening, Li Xia told An An a bedtime story as usual, and An An covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep contentedly.

"I'm tired too, Weicheng, turn off the lights and go to sleep." Li Xia put the storybook away and lay down.

But Gu Weicheng didn't move. After a while, he leaned on his arms and approached Li Xia, looking down at Li Xia: "I can't sleep."

The tone is quite aggrieved.

The sudden appearance of his handsome face made Li Xia's heart skip a beat. She swallowed and asked in a coaxing tone, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"I found a very serious problem." Gu Weicheng said in a serious tone.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Weicheng's attitude made Li Xia feel nervous. She quickly sat up from the bed.

Then I heard Gu Weicheng say pitifully:

"You are biased. You kissed An An when you praised him, but you only praised me verbally. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. If you continue to behave like this for a long time, I will feel that I am not valued in this family. You like An An more."

"..." Li Xia was speechless, "Just because of this? I thought something big happened and I was shocked."

When he met Gu Weicheng's eyes, he looked at him and said, "Look at you, you still don't repent."

Li Xia was both angry and amused. She had heard before that dating a man was like coaxing a child, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Even if the other party is the youngest regiment commander in the military camp, it is no exception.

"Okay, okay, then I'll praise you too. I'm definitely not partial." Li Xia said.

She leaned over and gave Gu Weicheng a quick kiss on the face.

"It's not enough." Gu Weicheng said.

"What do you mean?" Li Xia's heart was pounding as if thousands of butterflies were flapping their wings.

Not enough? What's not enough? Could it be that Gu Weicheng wants...

In fact, it is not impossible. She is willing to do so, but she can't help feeling a little scared. However, if Gu Weicheng proposed it, she would probably agree.

Then, I heard Gu Weicheng say: "You also called An An 'baby', so you have to call me that too."

Li Xia: "...Baby."

This was the first time that Gu Weicheng was called "baby" since he was a child.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he looked at Li Xia tenderly, his voice low and hoarse: "Li Xia, you are also my baby."

I call her by her full name because it is formal enough.

After saying this, Gu Weicheng carefully walked past An An, returned to his own territory, and turned off the desk lamp.

"Go to bed early."

An An is already over four years old. Gu Weicheng thought that he would have to find an opportunity to let An An sleep in the small room alone next time.

Is this the end?

The moment Li Xia saw Gu Weicheng staring at her and calling her "baby", she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

There were only two words in her mind: 'seduction'. Gu Weicheng must be seducing her!

She thought something was going to happen, and although she couldn't help feeling nervous and scared, she was also looking forward to it.

But Gu Weicheng just turned off the lights and went to sleep...

Could it be that after she rejected Gu Weicheng once before, he didn't dare to treat her like that again?

Should she be more proactive next time?
