Goodnight, baby.
Ni Hao hung up the phone after Li Minglin said goodnight to him, and he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until very late.

The next day, in the living room, He Muchen heated up milk for Zhou Rui and made breakfast for him. Zhou Rui rubbed his sleepy eyes and came out.
Zhou Rui wrapped his arms around He Muchen's waist from behind and joked, "Whose fairy princess has wandered into my house?"
He Muchen turned around and affectionately ruffled his hair, then leaned down to kiss him, "Yours..."
Zhou Rui lowered his head shyly, muttering, "I didn't brush my teeth..."
"It's okay, I don't mind." He Muchen lowered his head to kiss him.
Zhou Rui covered his mouth, "You don't mind, but I mind myself."
Zhou Rui covered his mouth and turned to run away, but He Muchen shouted loudly behind him, "Wife, let me kiss you as much as I want after you brush your teeth."
Zhou Rui blushed and ran into his room. He leaned against the door, covering his slightly flushed face. Luckily, no one was home, or he would have been utterly humiliated.
After brushing his teeth and calming down for a while, Zhou Rui walked into the living room and saw that breakfast had already been laid out on the table.
He walked over and sat down. He Muchen said to him, "Drink the milk, and grow tall..."
The milk in Zhou Rui's hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
"Honey, if you think I'm too short and want to go find someone else, I can turn a blind eye."
He Muchen grabbed his hand, looking aggrieved, and explained nervously, "Wife, I don't dislike you. I just want you to drink more milk. I don't mean to dislike you or go out to find someone else."
Zhou Rui had just said it casually, but He Muchen seemed particularly nervous, which made him a little flustered. Was his previous illness a bit serious?
How did he manage to get through these past two years...?
"Honey, I'm sorry, I was too harsh just now. I know you only love me, how could you find someone else?"
He Muchen reached out and touched his face, looking aggrieved, and said, "Yeah, my wife spoke too harshly, she almost scared me to tears."
"I need my wife to comfort my fragile heart."
Zhou Rui stared wide-eyed at He Muchen. Was he being coquettish? He had just been nervously apologizing to him, and now he was looking pitiful and seeking comfort.
Before Zhou Rui could react, He Muchen walked up to him and picked him up in a princess carry.
Zhou Rui looked at him in surprise, but before he could speak, He Muchen interrupted him, "Wife, are you trying to seduce me by staring at me like that?"
"What?! I didn't...seduce you! Put me down, I haven't finished my breakfast yet, where are you taking me?"
"What do you think, honey? An apology is a dynamic process, not a static one."
Zhou Rui looked at him with a puzzled expression. What do you mean an apology is dynamic and not static?
He picked him up and placed him on the sofa. Before he could react, he didn't understand what "dynamic" or "static" meant...
When he bent down and pressed himself down, he understood what dynamics were.
He Muchen pressed Zhou Rui's hand against his chest, "Wife, my young heart needs your comfort."
Zhou Rui blushed shyly as she met his deep eyes, determined not to be seduced and to remain reserved.
"I feel like you're trying to scam me..."
"Honey, I didn't...you're overthinking it." He Muchen pouted, looking aggrieved.
"Am I overthinking this?" Zhou Rui looked at him questioningly.
He Muchen kissed his pink lips, "Hmm, wife, you're overthinking it. Now I can take my consolation prize."
A consolation prize?
Before he could even react, someone had already begun to slowly seek comfort in him.
…
...
"You took the consolation prize, but gave me a bunch of little red flowers in return?"
He Muchen hugged Zhou Rui tightly and kissed his forehead.
Zhou Rui was halfway through his breakfast, still hungry, when he was interrupted. It seems He Muchen is getting better and better at acting these days.
"I'm hungry, I don't have the energy to eat breakfast, honey, feed me." Zhou Rui pouted, looking aggrieved.
He Muchen got up, carefully placed Zhou Rui, who was in his arms, on the sofa and leaned against it, and kissed his forehead affectionately.
"Honey, wait a moment, I'll reheat the breakfast."
Zhou Rui nodded, now lying limply on the sofa.
He Muchen heated up the breakfast a little, then carried Zhou Rui to the table in a princess carry and fed him bite by bite…
"My little Rui Rui, Auntie has missed you so much." The words could be heard even before the person entered.
When He Muchen heard that Zhou Rui had returned, he rushed back overnight. Before he had even put his luggage away, he came to Muchen's place to see Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui choked and coughed incessantly, and because he coughed so loudly, his buttocks hurt.
He Muchen patted his back and saw his mother walking over. He looked at Ms. Chenxi unhappily. If it weren't for her loud voice, his wife wouldn't have choked.
Seeing Zhou Rui coughing incessantly, Ms. Chen Xi walked up to them with a worried expression and asked, "Rui Rui, what's wrong? Did Mu Chen not take good care of you? Did you catch a cold?"
"No... cough cough... Auntie, he took very good care of me."
"Then why are you coughing so badly?"
"Mom, it's because your voice is too loud. My wife was eating and you scared her so much that she choked."
Do I have a loud voice?
He Muchen nodded and poured water for Zhou Rui.
"Auntie, don't listen to his nonsense. I ate too fast and choked."
Ms. Chen Xi happily rubbed Zhou Rui's cheek, "My daughter-in-law is the best. My son is such an ingrate."
"If it weren't for my ungrateful behavior, would you have such a good daughter-in-law?" He Muchen said with a sneer.
"That's all the good things about you." Ms. Chen Xi rolled her eyes at her youngest son.
"Auntie, he has many good qualities. He's handsome, kind, gentle, and can sing and act..."
"Gentle?" Chen Xi looked He Muchen up and down, then glanced at Zhou Rui.
"Yes! I don't know how he is with other people, but he is very gentle with me."
"Although she may not be gentle at times, she is mostly gentle."
When Zhou Rui talked about He Muchen, his eyes lit up.
He Muchen affectionately rubbed his head and leaned down to kiss his forehead.
Ms. Chen Xi was very gratified to see that Zhou Rui's eyes were filled with love for his son.
"By the way, Rui Rui, come with me, I'll show you something."
Ms. Chen Xi took Zhou Rui's wrist and happily went up to the third floor.
He Muchen followed her to the third floor, opened the wardrobe, and found that all the clothes in the wardrobe were ones she had bought over the years that she found attractive.
Ms. Chen held up a piece of clothing against his body, saying, "Rui Rui, go try it on."
"Ah!" Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen, hoping he would save him.
"Mom, we still have to go to the company, so we'll head out now." Zhou Rui was pulled away by He Muchen.
