After taking a bath, the little guy obediently took out a book from his suitcase and lay down on Yanhan's big bed to read. When Yanhan came out of the bath, the little guy was already asleep on the blanket, still lying in a starfish position just like in the afternoon.
Yan Han genuinely felt that the little guy's sleeping posture was too unrestrained, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He climbed onto the bed, leaned over, picked up the little guy, and wanted to tuck him into the blankets.
It seems I should let him sleep with me for a while first; otherwise, he'll easily catch a cold if he always sleeps like this on the blanket.
"Mmm... Mommy..." The little guy, half-asleep and half-awake, seemed to mistake him for Zhu Qianying, burying his face tightly into his arms. "Mommy... Zaizai is still sleeping..."
Yan Han narrowed his eyes slightly. Zhu Qianying called this little guy "Zizai"?
"Be good, little one, go back to bed or you'll catch a cold!"
"Mmm..." The little guy mumbled a response in his sleep. After Yan Han tucked him into the blanket, the little guy suddenly raised his head, but with his eyes closed, and kissed Yan Han's chin with a "smack".
"Mommy...goodnight..."
Yan Han, who was mistaken for someone else and had his gender changed without his permission, was not angry at all, because he had inadvertently earned a sweet kiss from his beloved son for this!
Ever since Yan Han met the little guy today, he had been subjected to the little guy's hostility. Now that he had finally gotten a kiss, even though it was a misplaced kiss and felt like it was stolen, he was still secretly delighted.
She bent down and kissed the little one on the lips, "Goodnight, baby!"
As Yan Han tucked the blanket around the little guy, he suddenly had a strange thought. Could the little guy have been waiting for him while he was sleeping on the blanket?
That's certainly a possibility.
After all, although this is the little guy's home, for him returning home for the first time, this huge bedroom must feel not only unfamiliar but also terrifyingly empty. Furthermore, although he and I are blood relatives, emotionally, he is a stranger I have only known for a few hours.
It's normal for a child who is only four years old to be able to pretend during the day, but to feel scared and unsafe at night!
Yan Han secretly blamed himself for being careless. How could he have not thought of these details at all?
Clearly, he was an incompetent and unqualified husband in the past, and he is equally incompetent and unqualified as a father now.
Yan Han, who had originally planned to deal with some work matters after her son fell asleep, now felt extremely guilty. Looking at her son's sweet sleeping face, she felt rooted to the spot and couldn't move.
He made a decisive decision not to work overtime tonight, but to stay here and spend quality time with his son, so that his son wouldn't be scared if he woke up and couldn't see anyone.
Yanhan's life has always been very regular. Generally speaking, he goes to bed around 1 a.m. every day.
It was only around nine o'clock, and lying in bed, he was naturally wide awake. Moreover, this was the first time he and his son had shared a bed, so his feelings were a mix of excitement and a multitude of complex emotions and unanswered questions.
Including his relationship with Zhu Qianying, the reason why the little guy suddenly came back, and that the old man in his thirties, really likes Zhu Qianying as the little guy said.
All of these things were enough to keep Yan Han from getting bored while lying in bed.
However, for the time being, these questions seem to be unsolvable mysteries. Like countless times before, no matter how much he thinks about them, he always ends up in the same dead end.
Unable to find any definite answer, he decided to stop thinking about it. Now that Zhu Qianying had brought his son back, he should focus on how to get along well with the little guy in the future.
This constant tense standoff between father and son is not a solution.
At 33 years old, he has experienced far more than men his age; what storms hasn't he weathered?
But he really had absolutely no experience as a father!
Then, he soon discovered that he had a lot of potential to be a mother.
Because he had only been lying down for a short time, and he had already turned to look at the little one countless times. Not because the little one had a handsome face just like his own, but because he was worried that the little one would kick off the blankets and catch a cold.
After frequently turning his head to check, he simply turned to his side, resting his head on his arm and lying on his side facing the little guy. His eyes, which usually radiated a sharp gaze, were now incredibly gentle as he examined the palm-sized face in front of him in the dim light of the night lamp.
Then he noticed that the little guy, whose mouth was slightly open and whose nostrils were slightly flaring, seemed to be sleeping very soundly, but occasionally he would chew his mouth, or wrinkle his nose and scratch his bottom.
So that's why kids make so many little movements and noises while they sleep?
As if he had discovered a new continent, Yan Han carefully observed the little guy beside him, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.
In the dim light, the little guy's face looked very dreamlike and hazy. Upon closer inspection, he even had the illusion that the little guy in front of him was a dream, and that everything that had happened today was a dream.
As if to confirm whether he was living in reality or in a dream, Yan Han reached out and stroked the little guy's face.
My fingertips gently brushed across the little guy's soft eyelids and touched his cheeks. The soft, warm touch was like a drop of sweet dew, dripping onto his long-parched heart. And my numb fingertips, which had long lost their ability to touch and feel, were gradually revived by the little guy's warm body temperature.
Before noon today, he had never imagined that he would have a son.
Just last night, he and Qin Xiu were drinking in a private room at Tongyao KTV. When they were slightly drunk, he joked with Qin Xiu, asking him to adopt his son.
Qin Xiu certainly couldn't give his son to him for adoption, but he had indeed thought that if all else failed, he could adopt a child, so that his parents would at least have something to rely on emotionally.
Actually, Yan Han didn't think it was necessary to have a child, but his parents had been nagging him for years to bring Zhu Qianying back as soon as possible.
In my mother's words, "Ying'er is indeed very young, it's okay to have children a few years later, but you're getting older and older. Do you want to end up like your father, becoming a father at forty?"
Yan Han, who was so obviously disliked by his mother, was speechless. Of course, he did not want to become a father at the age of forty, but the premise was that he had to find that girl Zhu Qianying at the age of forty!
After reading Zhu Qianying's letter, he immediately ordered people to secretly search for her everywhere. As for his parents and elders, he didn't want to upset them or disturb them, so he used the excuse that he had sent Zhu Qianying abroad to study to appease them.
