Tonight's dinner received high praise from Zhu Ranran.
After they finished eating, all three of them lost interest in the television, because Shen Yanming pulled out a flying machine from his spatial storage.
So, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan turned into children and played with Zhu Ranran for more than an hour.
Hehe, it was actually quite fun.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Yanming helped Zhu Ranran wash her face and feet quickly, then took a small blanket from the bedroom and spread it on the sofa for her.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own? Aren't you afraid of the dark?" Shen Yanming asked.
"I'm not afraid!" Zhu Ranran said firmly.
So, Shen Yanming turned off the lights with peace of mind, and then went back to the bedroom with Bi Qiaoan.
However, before ten minutes had passed, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
Shen Yanming got up and opened the door, only to see Zhu Ranran standing at the door with tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong? Are you missing your mom and dad?" Shen Yanming wiped his tears with his fingers.
Zhu Ranran shook her head, and said somewhat guiltily, "I... I'm scared. It's so big and dark outside."
Shen Yanming sighed. He knew this would happen! Children's fear of the dark is probably especially strong in unfamiliar environments.
So what should we do now?
Let the little one sleep with my wife? No way! My wife is pregnant. What if Ranran moves around and kicks Qiao An's stomach?
Let him sleep alone in the bedroom? Zhu Ranran will probably continue to cry.
Well, from beginning to end, Shen Yanming never even considered sleeping separately from his wife.
Bi Qiaoan was still awake. She got up and said, "You sleep with Ranran. I'll make do in the living room for the night."
Shen Yanming wanted to stop him, but there was a little one in front of him, so he had no choice but to agree.
So, I could only help my wife set up the sofa before going back to the room to sleep with Ranran.
Sigh, as Zhu Ranran drifted off to sleep with even breathing, Shen Yanming once again regretted creating a little trouble for himself.
The next day, Shen Yanming woke up early. He didn't wake the little one beside him, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, he found that Bi Qiaoan had already sat up. When he asked her, he found out that Qiaoan hadn't slept well either.
"Sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast." Shen Yanming touched Bi Qiaoan's forehead, and was relieved to find that she didn't have a fever, but was just feeling unwell.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, got up and washed up listlessly. When she came back, she found that the quilt was folded and an enticing aroma was wafting from the kitchen.
Yes, Shen Yanming is making braised pork ribs this early in the morning.
Seeing Bi Qiaoan leaning against the door, Shen Yanming said to her, "I don't know what's wrong with us lately, we're going to the hospital every other day. I was thinking that when I go to take Ranran to school today, I should also visit Liang Lisen. I heard he's recovering well after his surgery, so I should go and fulfill my promise."
"Okay, then add more spiritual spring water. By the way, you've only prepared ribs for Liang Lisen, what about Zhu Shiliang?"
"He'll just have millet porridge!" Shen Yanming thought to himself. Since Zhu Ranran made me miss out on having a wife to hug last night, then I'll punish Zhu Shiliang by not letting him eat meat. This is called the father paying for the son's debt.
In reality, Zhu Ranran was a guest at their home unexpectedly, and they hadn't prepared any meat, so they had to eat vegetarian food.
After everything in the two pots was cooked, Shen Yanming put the ribs into a thermal container and tied a red string to the handle of the container.
As for the millet porridge, half was put into another insulated container, and the other half was kept for breakfast.
After finishing these tasks, Shen Yanming turned on the kitchen exhaust fan, and Bi Qiaoan went to the living room to open the window. Only after the smell of meat had mostly dissipated did the two go to the bedroom to wake Zhu Ranran.
After washing her hands in a daze, Zhu Ranran sat down at the dining table.
Zhu Ranran ate her millet porridge with a salted egg and two small steamed buns until her belly was round and full.
After a short rest, the three changed their clothes, took their thermos, and set off.
It was still a bit dark outside. Since it was a weekday, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan decided to visit Zhu Shiliang at the hospital before going back to work.
It was still early, and there were few cars on the road, so they arrived at Haishi Hospital quickly.
Shen Yanming told Bi Qiaoan and Zhu Ranran to go find Zhu Shiliang first, while he carried the thermos with the red string tied to it to another inpatient building.
When Fu Shuling heard someone knocking on the door, she quietly went to open it.
Upon seeing that it was Zhu Ranran and Bi Qiaoan knocking on the door, they quickly opened it to let the two in and asked, "Why are you two here so early? Where is Shen Yanming?"
Bi Qiaoan held up the thermos and said, "I brought you and Director Zhu some breakfast. There's a young man in the area we're responsible for who's also hospitalized here. Yanming, go visit him."
"Qiao An is here. Did Ranran cause you any trouble?" Zhu Shiliang said, leaning back on the headboard.
Bi Qiaoan smiled, "No, he's very obedient. You're up early today too; I thought you were still resting at this hour!"
"Normally, I might not be able to get out of bed at this time. But I was dizzy yesterday and fell asleep early. I woke up before six this morning."
"How are you feeling now? Are you still dizzy?"
"I'm not dizzy anymore, and I feel quite energetic. I feel like I can be discharged from the hospital."
"It's not up to you to decide; the doctor has to agree."
"Alright, hurry up and eat. Qiao An brought this for us." Fu Shuling twisted open the thermos, ladled out a bowl of thick millet porridge, and placed it on the table in front of Zhu Shiliang. "Do you want me to feed you?"
"No need, I can manage on my own."
After Zhu Shiliang finished speaking, he slowly began to eat with a spoon, while Zhu Ranran and Bi Qiaoan sat quietly to the side.
A dozen minutes later, Zhu Shiliang finished eating. Fu Shuling asked him if he wanted another bowl, but he refused, so she started eating herself.
At this moment, Shen Yanming came in carrying a thermos.
Zhu Shiliang and Fu Shuling both guessed that this was also a way of sending each other a bowl of millet porridge.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got up to say goodbye after Fu Shuling finished eating and washed the dishes.
This time, Zhu Ranran was kept at the hospital by Fu Shuling.
On the way, Shen Yanming said to Bi Qiaoan, "Although Zhu Ranran is already quite well-behaved, it's still quite troublesome to take care of him for a whole night. Maybe it's because he's not my own child, so I don't have enough patience."
Bi Qiaoan didn't respond because she wasn't sure if they would feel the same impatience when facing their own baby in the future.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan arrived at the office, it was still empty. They cleaned the office and then sat there waiting for people to come.
Before long, colleagues arrived one after another. After the two explained Zhu Shiliang's situation, Chen Qing walked in with dark circles under his eyes.
"What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest?"
"No way, I didn't sleep at all!" Chen Qing slumped in his chair and said weakly, "Yesterday I followed Ke Wenpei around most of Haishi. When I was too tired to walk anymore, I called his house."
As a result, his wife started nagging incessantly as soon as she arrived, almost driving Ke Wenpei to the brink of suicide.
