Chapter 397: General Qi works one by one
"You eat too."
She pushed another bowl of porridge in front of him.
The two of them ate their midnight snack quietly in the light of the floor lamp.
The moonlight outside the window shines through the gauze screen and falls on the floor like a thin layer of silver frost.
There are no more dangers during the day, no more thrills in the computer room, only the peaceful days at this moment, and even breathing becomes long.
“Right,” Shen Hanxing swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and suddenly remembered something.
"I have to go to the research institute tomorrow morning to hand in the final encrypted report on the sample. Chengcheng and Xunxun..."
Qi Moxun immediately said, "I'll accompany them tomorrow."
Shen Hanxing hesitated: "Isn't your company busy? Wasn't the multinational meeting last week postponed to this Monday?"
“The meeting has been moved online.”
Qi Moxun wiped the corner of his mouth and said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, the new 'househusband' must be familiar with the business."
“Who asked you to be a househusband?” Shen Hanxing was amused by him, and his cheeks were slightly hot.
"I should be back early this afternoon. Then we can take them to the park together?"
"good."
Qi Moxun nodded, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"I checked the nearby children's park. There's a little train and a carousel. Chengcheng should like it."
The next morning, Shen Hanxing was awakened by the noise in the kitchen.
She put on a coat and walked out of the bedroom, and saw Qi Moxun standing in front of the stove with an apron on. The morning light fell on him through the window, giving his cold and hard features a soft glow.
"woke up?"
Qi Moxun looked back at her, still holding the egg beater in his hand, "Wait ten more minutes, breakfast will be ready."
The door of the children's room was ajar. Shen Hanxing walked over and gently pushed it open. He saw Chengcheng lying on the edge of the bed, looking curiously at the picture book on the bedside table.
Xunxun sat on the small sofa, holding the rabbit doll that Qi Moxun had placed there last night, and looked timidly towards the living room.
"Awake?"
Shen Hanxing walked over and touched Xunxun's forehead to confirm that the fever had subsided. "Are you feeling better?"
Xunxun nodded and whispered, "Mom, uncle..."
Shen Hanxing sat down next to him and said softly, "Uncle Qi is making breakfast for us. His fried eggs are delicious."
Xunxun understood immediately.
He always hoped that his mother would be with Uncle Qi.
Now my wish has come true.
When Chengcheng heard the word "delicious", he immediately ran over and said, "Mom, I want to eat fried eggs! I want them to be as round as the sun!"
"Okay, Mom will go talk to Uncle Qi."
When she turned and walked into the kitchen, she saw Qi Moxun serving out the fried sunny-side-up eggs. There was millet porridge cooking in a small pot next to it, and cartoon-shaped buns in the steamer.
The tableware has been set on the dining table, and even the children's small bowls have been replaced with scald-proof silicone ones.
Qi Moxun walked up to Shen Hanxing and tidied up her hair. "Go wash up quickly, the breakfast is getting cold."
When Shen Hanxing came out after washing up, she saw Qi Moxun sitting on the small sofa, holding a picture book in his hand and telling stories to the children.
His voice was very soft, and he deliberately lowered his voice when he talked about the appearance of the big bad wolf. Chengcheng's eyes widened when he heard it.
Xunxun also quietly moved forward, her little body closer to Qi Moxun.
"Mom! Uncle Qi's stories are so interesting!" Chengcheng shouted excitedly when he saw her.
Xunxun also raised his head and whispered, "Uncle, did the little sheep go home later?"
A smile flashed in Qi Moxun's eyes and he answered patiently.
"It came back because the hunter uncle helped it drive away the big bad wolf."
He looked at Xunxun and said, "Just like... Uncle Qi and Mom are protecting you together."
Xunxun suddenly laughed.
He gave Qi Moxun a wink.
It means that mom is still watching.
Good performance.
Keep it up!
Qi Moxun smiled helplessly.
This kid is a little devil.
At breakfast, Qi Moxun peeled eggs for Chengcheng and blew on the millet porridge to cool it down before handing it to Xunxun. His movements were so natural as if he had done it a thousand times.
Shen Hanxing looked at this scene, her heart warmed. When she hurriedly finished her breakfast and was about to go out, Qi Moxun suddenly called her.
"Wait a moment." He picked up a thermal bag from the entrance cabinet.
"There are sandwiches and hot milk in there. Remember to eat them at noon." He handed her a key and said, "This is the spare key to the house. Take it."
Shen Hanxing took the key and the thermal bag, and her fingertips touched his temperature, and her heart softened: "Then at noon..."
"I take them to eat tomato and egg noodles. Trust my cooking skills."
Qi Moxun straightened her hair and said, "Be careful on the road. Call me if you have any questions."
Chen Hanxing nodded, and when he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back. He saw Qi Moxun wiping the porridge stains from Xunxun's mouth, while Chengcheng was holding up a small bun to share with him...
The sunlight shines through the window onto the three of them, and the scene is as warm as a painting.
She smiled, opened the door, and walked briskly towards the elevator.
The work at the institute went more smoothly than expected. After Shen Hanxing submitted the report, he rushed home before two o'clock in the afternoon.
When passing by the shopping mall, she turned in and bought two sets of children's tableware, which were printed with Chengcheng's favorite Ultraman and the little rabbit looking for love.
When I got home, I just walked downstairs and heard laughter coming from the direction of the children's playground.
She quickened her pace and walked over, and saw Qi Moxun accompanying Chengcheng on a train. The little guy raised his hands and shouted at him excitedly. Qi Moxun stood by the track with a smile on his face, and from time to time he reached out to help him hold his hat steady.
Xunxun was sitting on the bench next to her, holding the rabbit doll that Shen Hanxing bought, with a faint smile on her little face.
"Mom!" Chengcheng saw her first, and immediately jumped off the train and threw himself into her arms.
Xunxun also stood up, ran to her side, and pulled her clothes: "Mom, Uncle Qi bought me cotton candy."
Chen Hanxing looked at Qi Moxun. He walked over with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were bright.
"We just took them on the carousel, and Chengcheng said he wants to ride the roller coaster next time."
"He's still too young." Shen Hanxing smiled and shook her head, taking out new tableware from her bag, "Look what mom brought you?"
Cheng Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw the Ultraman tableware: "Wow! It's Ultraman Zero!"
Xunxun also gently touched the rabbit cutlery's ears and whispered, "Thank you, Mom."
Qi Moxun looked at the children's happy faces, put his arm around Shen Hanxing's shoulders, and said softly, "Look, they like it very much."
When they returned home in the evening, Chengcheng was able to hold Qi Moxun's hand naturally and chatter about what he saw and heard in the amusement park.
Dinner was tomato and egg noodles made by Qi Moxun. Chengcheng ate a full bowl and even drank up the soup.
While Shen Hanxing was cleaning up the dishes, Qi Moxun was playing with the children in the living room.
She leaned against the kitchen door frame, looking at the man who had been so decisive in the business world and was now patiently teaching a child how to build a castle. Suddenly, she felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.
