"Mommy, was Daddy crazy just now?" the little girl asked earnestly, having already forgotten about her grievances.
Su Yueya: "..."
She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They're only two years old, so there's no need to be so alarmed. But Lu Zhengjun's educational philosophy isn't wrong either; it's not a bad thing to let the two children develop gender awareness early on.
“Dad isn’t crazy,” Su Yueya said, thinking that it would be good to start from today.
After taking a shower, neither Lu Siyuan nor Lu Si'an wanted to go back to their own room. They stubbornly stayed on their parents' big bed, hugging the blankets tightly.
"I'm not leaving—"
"I'm not leaving either. I want to sleep with Mom and Dad, and I want to sleep in the middle!" Lu Si'an announced.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
The son and daughter are adorable, but they're a little superfluous for this second—they're like a third wheel!
After all, today was the first time he and Su Yueya had slept together after a long separation. With these two little ones around, he probably couldn't do anything.
"Xiao Yuan, An An, look, Mom and Dad's bed isn't very big..." Lu Zhengjun tried to bargain and trick the two away.
Su Yueya smiled silently.
She wanted to see whether Lu Zhengjun or Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an would win.
“It’s huge! How can it not be big?” Lu Siyuan rolled over, indicating that there was still plenty of space and it wasn’t crowded at all.
“Dad, look,” Lu Si’an immediately curled up into a small ball and lay in the middle of the bed, “An’an is very small. My brother and I don’t take up much space at all, so we won’t crowd you and Mom.”
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
Okay, he lost.
Su Yueya gave Lu Zhengjun a coquettish glance and shrugged.
Lu Zhengjun looked at her with resentment.
After accepting reality, Lu Zhengjun quickly adjusted her mindset, thinking that she should put the child to sleep first.
"Dad, Mom used to tell us stories. Can you tell us one today?" Lu Siyuan had already brought the storybooks, all bought from the small shop. These stories were so new. They told them to the children in the yard and found that none of them had heard them before.
"sure."
Lu Zhengjun lay down on the bed and opened a storybook.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and when he read stories, it was completely different from his mother's gentle voice; it was a different feeling altogether.
The two little ones were very excited, constantly asking questions about the plot of the story.
Lu Zhengjun was charmed by the children's thought processes; sometimes, the questions they asked left him speechless.
Lu Si'an suddenly said something.
"With Dad around, things are definitely different!"
Lu Zhengjun's nose suddenly stung with tears.
Even if the children say they are not angry with their father or blame him, the lack of fatherly love still leaves some marks on them.
These marks are a thorn in Lu Zhengjun's heart, pricking him from time to time, making him feel uncomfortable and guilty. He wants to make amends but is powerless to do so, and can only suffer the torment of being slowly tortured from time to time.
Su Yueya sensed his change in mood, squeezed his hand, and shook her head at him.
"Xiao Yuan, An An, do you like your dad?" Su Yueya asked deliberately.
Does that even need to be said?
They've been clinging to each other all night, and Su Yueya hasn't had much of a chance to get close. Doesn't that count as liking someone?
"I love it! An'an loves it the most!"
The little girl was particularly cautious about this question, and immediately added a sentence after answering.
"An'an loves her dad and mom the most, they're the best!"
“Then I like it the most!” Lu Siyuan said.
"No, I want one more superlative!"
"Then I am the most...most...most favorite!"
"I'm the most, the most, the most..."
The brother and sister got into a competition. If you say three "mosts", I'll say four. I'll always have to have one more "most" than you. In the end, they couldn't count them anymore, so they decided to compete to see who could keep the "most" for the longest time.
That's so childish!
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around here. Mom and Dad know how you feel. Go to sleep now," Su Yueya said. Her mother's words still carried a lot of authority.
The two little ones immediately obeyed and closed their eyes.
Today is their happiest day.
Lu Siyuan suddenly opened one eye secretly to peek, and was caught red-handed by his parents.
"Lu Siyuan, what happened to closing your eyes and going to sleep?" Su Yueya asked.
"Mom, Dad, can you take us for a walk around the compound a few times tomorrow?" the little guy asked slyly.
What kind of requirement is that?
"Of course." Lu Zhengjun agreed without hesitation. He understood his son's little scheme; he just wanted to "show off" in the compound that they had a father too.
Then Lu Siyuan closed his eyes contentedly.
They finally fell asleep and quieted down when their breathing became even and deep.
Lu Zhengjun glanced at the children, then at his fragrant wife.
Tsk...
Children go to bed early, and the night is still long.
"How about..." Lu Zhengjun started to say, but then shook her head and said no.
"What's wrong?" Su Yueya asked softly.
"I was thinking that since they were both asleep, if we were gentle and carried them back, we could... you know..."
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Su Yueya and Lu Zhengjun are both young, at the age when passion is irresistible. Their desire to ignite is like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Is it even human to expect them to endure this for a whole night?
But Lu Zhengjun quickly rejected the idea.
“But let’s forget it. If they wake up tomorrow and find themselves carried back to their bedroom, they’ll be really upset. Let’s just bear with it,” Lu Zhengjun said.
Su Yueya: "..."
Well, she never expected that she and Lu Zhengjun would be so in sync when it came to raising children. If Lu Zhengjun had done what she did just now, she really would have stopped her.
"Honey, you're such a good dad," Su Yueya praised.
"Hmm..." Lu Zhengjun felt very wronged.
He silently made up his mind that no matter what, it was only one night left. He absolutely could not let these two little guys fool him again tomorrow night. He had to make them go back to their own bedrooms to sleep. No matter how much they begged and pleaded, it wouldn't work!
You absolutely must!
Seeing Lu Zhengjun's discomfort, Su Yueya secretly chuckled to herself. In truth, she also longed for a shameless life, but with the child present, she couldn't afford to be so reckless.
After trying for a long time, the two still couldn't fall asleep, feeling like something was missing.
Su Yueya felt that if she continued flipping through the book, she would probably wake up the two children. She had a sudden inspiration and came up with a new idea.
"Honey, do you want to see the photos?" Su Yueya asked.
"What photo?"
