Chapter 42 Zhao Jiaying has a nightmare
Ou Zichen carried Zhao Jiaying back to the room, gave her a bath, and changed her into clean clothes.
The first time I gave my daughter a bath, I got myself into a mess and was soaked all over. So he said to Zhao Jiaying, "Yingbao, Daddy's clothes are wet. Go take a shower first. You wait for Daddy obediently in bed."
Zhao Jiaying nodded expressionlessly, like a Barbie doll that had lost its soul.
Ou Zichen was a little worried when he saw her like this, but he had to take a shower in his current condition. So I quickly went into the bathroom and washed myself as quickly as possible.
When I came out, I found that Zhao Jiaying was not on the bed, but sitting on the bay window on the windowsill, looking straight outside.
Ou Zichen walked over quietly and sat down next to her.
"Yingbao, what are you looking at?"
"Star!" Zhao Jiaying pointed to a star in the sky.
Ou Zichen looked in the direction of her finger and indeed saw a big, bright star. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhao Jiaying say.
"Mommy said that this big, bright star is grandpa. From now on, whenever I miss grandpa, I can look at this star and it will be the same as seeing grandpa."
"Well, Yingbao, do you miss grandpa?"
Parents always like to compare their deceased relatives to stars, and tell their children that the stars are so-and-so, and that if they miss them, looking at the stars is the same as seeing them. Zhao Jiaying also believes this.
"No, Yingbao almost went to see Grandpa today. Yingbao saw Grandpa smiling at her happily, and Yingbao would be very happy to see Grandpa. But Yingbao couldn't bear to leave Daddy, Mommy, Second Uncle and Great Grandma, and didn't want to be separated from you so early."
After saying this, he turned to look at Ou Zichen and said sadly, "Daddy, do you think that Yingbao didn't go to see grandpa? Will grandpa be angry with Yingbao?"
Ou Zichen naturally knew what Zhao Jiaying meant by going to see grandpa. It seemed that she was really scared today and already knew what death meant.
Ou Zichen picked her up and put her on his lap, comforting her and saying, "No, Grandpa loves Yingbao so much, how could he be angry with Yingbao! Yingbao is still so young, Grandpa definitely hopes that Yingbao can stay with Daddy and Mommy and be a healthy and happy child. You see the stars twinkling, actually it's Grandpa smiling at Yingbao, so he definitely won't be angry with you!"
After listening to Ou Zichen's words, Zhao Jiaying looked at the star again. It was indeed twinkling. Daddy did not lie to her, so grandpa was really not angry with her.
So she put her hands together and said to the stars, "Thank you grandpa for not being angry with Yingbao. Yingbao promised grandpa that she would listen to Daddy and Mommy and be a good and obedient child in the future. Grandpa, you must be good to grandma in heaven. If you have time, remember to visit Yingbao's grandparents, they are also in heaven!"
Although Zhao Jiaying has never seen her grandparents, she still misses them in her heart, which makes Ou Zichen very happy.
At this time, Mrs. Liu came up with the meal and knocked on the door.
"Master, dinner for you and Miss Yingbao is ready!"
Ou Zichen opened the door, took it, and placed it on the coffee table in the room.
"Yingbao, you must be hungry, come and eat!"
Zhao Jiaying has a strong ability to self-regulate. Although what happened today was a big blow to her, she recovered quickly. Because she once said that she was an indestructible cockroach.
“Oh, here it comes…”
Looking at the delicious food with good color, aroma and taste, Zhao Jiaying forgot everything and started eating happily.
And at this point, she was indeed hungry and ate two full bowls of rice.
If Ou Zichen hadn't been afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after eating too much, she would have continued to eat half a bowl!
However, seeing how happily she ate, Ou Zichen felt relieved. At first he was worried that because of this incident, she would not want to see people, talk, or even eat. Fortunately, his lively and lovely Ying Bao was not lost!
At night, Ou Zichen slept with her because he was worried that she would have a nightmare.
As expected, good things don’t work, but ugly things do. In the middle of the night, Zhao Jiaying really had a nightmare.
In the dream, some bad uncles kidnapped her and threw her into a pit. She wanted to climb out of the pit, but she was too short and couldn't reach it. Then piles of mud were thrown on her, covering her head, face, and clothes. She cried and shouted, but no one came to save her!
“No…no…, help…help…, Daddy has to save Yingbao, Yingbao is so scared, Yingbao is about to die, wuwu…”
Ou Zichen was awakened by Zhao Jiaying's crying and shouting. He hurriedly got up to check. Zhao Jiaying was still struggling in the nightmare, sweating all over, and crying and shouting non-stop.
Seeing this, Ou Zichen called her name softly: "Yingbao... Yingbao... Daddy is here, don't be afraid!"
When Zhao Jiaying heard Ou Zichen's voice, she suddenly woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw Ou Zichen, she climbed up and threw herself into his arms, still in shock.
"Wow... Daddy, there are bad uncles who want to catch Yingbao. They threw Yingbao into a big pit and poured mud on Yingbao. Yingbao is so scared. Yingbao is going to die, woooo..."
Ou Zichen hugged her, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's okay, Yingbao has returned home. With Daddy here, no one can hurt Yingbao anymore!"
Feeling safe in Ou Zichen's arms, Zhao Jiaying fell asleep quickly.
But not long after Ou Zichen put her down to sleep, Zhao Jiaying was haunted by nightmares again.
In the end, there was no other choice but for Ou Zichen to hold her in his arms as he slept.
As a result, the next day, Ou Zichen woke up with panda eyes because he almost didn't sleep the night before. He couldn't fall asleep at all while holding Zhao Jiaying in his arms, but fortunately, Zhao Jiaying slept soundly in his arms and didn't have nightmares anymore, so it was worth it for him to hold her in his arms for the whole night.
After Zhao Jiaying woke up, he acted as if nothing had happened and seemed to have forgotten the nightmare he had last night. Seeing the big dark circles under Ou Zichen's eyes, he asked curiously.
"Daddy, how did you become a national treasure?"
Everyone knows that the national treasure is the giant panda. The most eye-catching feature of the panda is its pair of black panda eyes. When Zhao Jiaying saw Ou Zichen’s panda eyes, he immediately thought of the national treasure giant panda, so he compared him to the giant panda.
"It's okay, Daddy just had insomnia and didn't sleep well last night, it's okay!"
Ou Zichen did not mention the nightmare Zhao Jiaying had last night, for fear of touching her sore spot again.
It is normal to have nightmares at night when encountering such things. I guess it will go away after a while.
