Lan Qingyue covered her mouth and nose with both hands and walked to the door with great disgust. "Ugh, the smell is too strong. I have to go out. You can sleep by yourself tonight!"
Lan Qingyue considerately closed the door after leaving. Hearing the door lock, Chu Chu excitedly tried to pull herself out of the room by pulling at the blankets, but she was wrapped up like a cocoon and couldn't get out. She could only roll around frantically, her little voice trembling with tears, "Mommy~~~ Mommy~~~ Chu Chu is taking a bath! Mommy, Chu Chu is being eaten by bugs! Help~~~"
Chu Chu's sweet voice grew louder and louder. Lan Qingyue stood at the window, gently pulled open the dust screen, and peeked through the curtains. The quilt covering Chu Chu was already rolled up into a ball, and the little one was trapped inside, with her fluffy head peeking out. Her soft hair was curled and crooked. She was sucking on her hand and staring blankly at the door.
Hmph~ I'm seventeen years older than you. You're too green to mess with me.
Hmm~~~
Lan Qingyue leaned against the wall for a while, but Chu Chu didn't make a sound. Could this little dumpling have fallen asleep?
Lan Qingyue pushed open the door and went in. The little cicada pupa was lying on the bed, its chubby little hands clutching the lace edge of the pillow, its face distorted by the pressure.
"What's wrong~ Chuchu, you're so agile, you should have just slipped out from under the covers~~~"
Lan Qingyue stood by the bed, bending down and smiling as she looked at the unusually well-behaved Chu Chu. Her cheeks, which hadn't been pressed down, were chubby. Lan Qingyue poked them, finding the chubby cheeks really nice to touch.
Chu Chu looked at Lan Qingyue with a resentful glint in her clear, bright eyes. She waved one slender arm and poked at the soft pillow with the fingers of her other hand. "Mommy~~~ Chu Chu is going to be eaten by bugs~~~"
"Oh dear, where's the bug? Let me see~~~"
Lan Qingyue kicked off her shoes and wandered around the small room barefoot, glancing behind the door, then at the table, and lifting a corner of the blanket. "No, no bugs. I'm going to take a shower now. You go to sleep, okay?"
Lan Qingyue picked up the clothes she had prepared, slipped on her slippers, and gently hummed a song as she left the room.
Chu Chu, lying on the bed waving her arms, thought: "..."
Where is she?! She's still under the covers~ She hasn't taken a bath yet, she wants to smell nice and go out to play with her older brother and sister~~~
Lan Qingyue was just teasing Chu Chu, and soon came back to take her to bathe before putting her to bed. The lights on the first floor were already off, so Lu Yan and her mother were probably asleep.
Another busy day has come to an end.
Lan Qingyue woke up relatively quickly the next day. Chu Chu was still fast asleep beside her, her chubby little feet propped against the wall, her fleshy hands grabbing her ears, and the messy sheets were being used as a fluffy mat by her, only covering one of her feet.
Lan Qingyue thought to herself speechlessly, "Once Chu Chu gets up, I'll fold the sheets and put them in the corner of the bed so Chu Chu won't use them as a soft mat."
After washing up, Lu Yan went downstairs. Both Lu Yan and her mother were up, and Lu Yan was packing her small bag to go out.
"Good morning, Ayan. Good morning, Lu Yan's mother."
"Good morning," Lu Yan said, still maintaining her aloof demeanor. She stuffed the power bank, data cable, and tissues into her bag, zipped it up, picked up her phone, looked at Lan Qingyue for a while, and asked in a slightly awkward tone, "Is Chu Chu still not up? Breakfast is ready. Do you want some?"
"Have something to eat, I cooked corn porridge this morning." Lu Yan's mother plated the dishes and put them on the table. Then, the cheerful sound of footsteps could be heard, and the director, covering her crossbody bag, ran over with a big smile.
