Shen Jinxi blinked her watery eyes, full of innocence and curiosity, "Dad, can't we all like it?"
"No, you can't choose one." Zhou Yanchen almost blurted out and answered without thinking.
"Well, in that case..." Shen Jinxi's pink face showed a tangled expression, and then turned her gaze to Shen Jinnan on the side, "Brother, who do you choose?"
Shen Jinnan was like a little kid, with a look of intelligence in his eyes, as if he had seen through Zhou Yanchen's thoughts, and spoke slowly:
"Dad, you should ask Mom directly, who does she like best?"
Zhou Yanchen was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but found that he had nothing to say. He could only silently admire his son's cleverness in his heart.
At this time, Shen Qingli opened the door and came out of the bathroom. Her hair was still a little wet and fell softly on her shoulders.
Shen Jinxi was sharp-eyed and immediately asked in a hoarse voice: "Mom, Dad asked about him and..."
Before Shen Jinxi finished speaking, Zhou Yanchen quickly covered her mouth with his hand. Zhou Yanchen coaxed her softly, "Little treasure, don't talk nonsense. Daddy will buy you a princess dress."
After hearing this, Shen Jinxi nodded obediently, looking extremely adorable.
Shen Qingli looked at them with confusion in his eyes, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Yanchen quickly stood up, with a perfect smile on his face, "Nothing to say, just chatting casually."
Seeing him say this, Shen Qingli did not continue to ask, "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, it's quite late, let's get ready for bed."
When the two children heard this, they immediately took action and quickly put away the toys.
Their small figures were busy, and soon they had put the toys away neatly, then ran to wash their hands, brush their teeth, and then lay down on the bed obediently.
Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yanchen, "Go and have a rest, and then come and see them."
Zhou Yanchen knew in his heart that if he continued to insist, he might make her unhappy, so he could only respond, "Okay."
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Shen Jinxi's soft voice rang out again: "Mom, I want Dad to keep this for you and your brother to tell stories."
Hearing this, Zhou Yanchen didn't wait for Shen Qingli to answer, and directly responded: "Okay, my babies, what stories do you want to hear? Dad will tell you."
Shen Jinxi's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, "Dad, I want to hear the story of Little Red Riding Hood."
"Okay, Dad will tell you the story of Little Red Riding Hood."
Zhou Yanchen sat beside the bed, his voice soft and magnetic, and began to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood in a vivid and colorful manner.
Shen Qingli didn't want to spoil their fun, so he walked over to the sofa opposite and sat down.
She rested her face on her hands, leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and listened quietly to Zhou Yanchen telling stories to the children.
Shen Qingli used to like listening to Zhou Yanchen's voice very much. Before they got their marriage certificate, Zhou Yanchen sent her a voice message. When she was alone, she didn't know how many times she secretly listened to it.
Unconsciously, Shen Qingli felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and sleepiness was coming over her like a tide.
After Zhou Yanchen finished telling the story, he saw that the two children had fallen asleep, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Qingli also asleep on the sofa. He got out of bed quietly and came in front of Shen Qingli.
Only when she was asleep could he look at her so quietly.
Shen Qingli, can't you be soft-hearted for once?
Zhou Yanchen murmured silently in his heart.
Just as he leaned over and prepared to carry Shen Qingli to the bed, the moment he touched her, Shen Qingli suddenly opened her eyes.
Still a little confused, Shen Qingli stepped back subconsciously, but her action caused Zhou Yanchen to fall towards her.
In a panic, Zhou Yanchen's kiss landed on the corner of her lips.
The dim light illuminated the two people's bodies, as if covering them with a layer of dreamy gauze, making them look even more ambiguous.
The air seemed to freeze, the two people's breathing intertwined, and Shen Qingli's cheeks instantly turned red.
Zhou Yanchen was also a little at a loss, his heart was beating like thunder, but he didn't want to break this delicate atmosphere.
Just when he wanted to kiss Shen Qingli's lips, she reached out to his chest and said, "Get out of the way."
Zhou Yanchen hesitated for a few seconds, then stood up.
Shen Qingli quickly stood up and said, "Let's go. We need to rest."
Zhou Yanchen looked deeply, "Just outside, call me if you need anything."
After seeing him go out, Shen Qingli came to the window. She knew very well how complicated her mood was at that moment.
The two children woke up several times during the night, but it was much better than before and they didn't make any noise.
Sister Chen came to the hospital early in the morning. When Shen Qingli finished washing up and walked out of the ward, she saw Zhou Yanchen standing at the door.
Seeing her come out, Zhou Yanchen stretched out his hand and handed her a bag, "Breakfast."
His eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Shen Qingli would accept it.
However, Shen Qingli replied calmly: "I have already eaten, you can eat by yourself!"
After saying this, she walked straight forward without pausing for a moment.
Zhou Yanchen looked at her leaving back and sighed slightly in his heart. There was a hint of helplessness and loss hidden in that sigh. He picked up his breakfast and hurriedly followed her.
At the hospital entrance, Chang You had already parked the car steadily and was waiting.
Seeing them coming out, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door neatly.
Zhou Yanchen followed Shen Qingli closely and said, "I'll take you to class."
Shen Qingli, however, gently refused: "No, just take the bus yourself, it's not on the way."
Hearing this, Zhou Yanchen suddenly recalled Jiang Yubai's visit to her hospital yesterday. He didn't know how many detours he had to take to get there "right", but Shen Qingli didn't say it wasn't right.
This contrast made Zhou Yanchen feel as if there was a breath of air stuck in his heart, unable to come out or let it go, and that kind of bitterness and unwillingness spread in his heart.
Before he could organize his words to say anything else, Shen Qingli had already taken a taxi and left quickly.
Chang You stood aside, looking at the complicated expression on his boss's face, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.
After a long while, he asked cautiously, "Boss, where are we going now?"
Zhou Yanchen took a deep breath, his face not looking good, walked to Chang You, threw the breakfast bag in his hand into his hand, and said, "Let's go to the company."
"Oh, all right."
Shen Qingli arrived at the hospital early today and there was no one in the office.
She immediately noticed the bouquet of gorgeous lilies on the desk.
However, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
She walked to her desk, searched carefully, and finally found a small card among the flowers.
The card was not overly decorated, with just a few words of blessing and a simple "J" written in Chinese at the end.
"J?" Shen Qingli couldn't help but whisper, thinking to herself: Who sent this? Did I send it to the wrong person?
Just when she was full of doubts and couldn't guess who it was, her cell phone rang at the right time.
She took out her phone and saw a message from Jiang Yubai: [Xiao Li, are you in class? Did you receive the flowers?]
When Shen Qingli saw this message, his brows furrowed even more.
