A cool breeze from outside seeped into the intimately charged lounge, dispersing some of the romantic atmosphere.
Chu Liyue lay gracefully on her side on the bed, with Xiao Wujie lying in her arms, his eyes closed and his chest exposed.
Chu Liyue held a cool, damp towel between her slender fingers and wiped his glistening, sweat-soaked, thin body clean. A satisfied smile appeared in her eyes as she gently kissed his thick, long eyelashes.
There was a slight noise outside the door. She quickly buttoned up Xiao Wujie's shirt and said in a low, cold voice:
"The door wasn't locked."
The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Xiao Li's petite figure emerged from the crack in the door.
She knelt down by the bed, her little finger grasping Xiao Wujie's jade-like pinky finger, her icy eyes brimming with deep dependence and longing.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"I'm sleepy," Chu Liyue replied casually, her deep gaze falling on her, her voice softening slightly.
Why didn't you go back first?
Xiao Li paused for a moment, her delicate little fingers lightly tracing the back of Xiao Wujie's hand. She pursed her lips, her voice clear and crisp as snow:
"Wait... for Mom and Dad."
Chu Liyue lowered her long eyelashes slightly and said in a low, cold voice, "Dad won't wake up for a while, come up."
Xiao Li kicked off her shoes and nimbly climbed onto the bed.
No matter how smart and independent she is, she is still just a three-year-old child, and instinctively wants to run into her father's arms.
But because her father was being held in her mother's arms, her small, fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly. She simply knelt obediently beside Xiao Wujie, her large, icy eyes fixed on her sleeping father.
"come over."
Chu Liyue adjusted her posture, holding Xiao Wujie with one arm and freeing up the other half of her embrace, and beckoned to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was clearly stunned for a moment, then met her mother's deep, cold eyes, lowered her gaze, and slowly climbed into her mother's arms.
Chu Liyue had only held her daughter a handful of times. Her gaze fell on Xiao Li, who was leaning against her, her small body stiff. A soft feeling welled up in her cold eyes. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Li's petite body and gently patted her back.
A look of realization dawned on Xiao Libing's eyes. Her mother rarely hugged her, and rarely treated her with such tenderness.
Actually, she prefers her mother's embrace to her father's. Her father's embrace is a bit rough and cold, while her mother's embrace is warm and soft.
She could sense that her mother reserved all her hugs and tenderness for her father.
Compared to her, Dad seems to need Mom's embrace and warmth even more.
"Mommy, why... is Daddy's arms cold?"
Xiao Li, mimicking her father, pressed her face against her mother's shoulder, carefully wrapping her arms around her mother's soft, boneless waist. Her lingering gaze fell on her father's peaceful sleeping face, and she asked softly.
Chu Liyue, with one arm around Xiao Wujie and the other around her daughter, paused when she heard this, her fingers that were gently stroking Xiao Wujie's neck.
It was already dark, and the lights in the lounge were off, casting shadows over her mother. Xiao Li couldn't see her mother's expression, but she could tell that her mother's voice had become much hoarse.
"Dad... is sick."
A look of confusion flashed in Xiao Li's big eyes, "Why are you sick?"
"Because my mother made a very serious mistake."
Xiao Li was taken aback. "When will Daddy be better?"
"It will take a long time, maybe until Ah Li grows up."
"Then I'll grow up quickly."
Xiao Li didn't receive a reply from her mother, but she felt her mother's hand stroking her head, very gently.
Xiao Wujie woke up groggily, feeling warm all over, enveloped in a soft embrace, surrounded by a comforting aura.
This feeling is so blissful. Life is peaceful and stable. When I'm sleepy, I snuggle up in my sister's arms to sleep. When I wake up, my sister holds me and is always there for me.
He habitually nuzzled and rubbed against her, softly calling out to the person he depended on and cherished.
"elder sister."
He called out, and she always responded: "I'm here."
Xiao Wujie closed his eyes, clung to her, and said, "Sister, you're naughty. My back is so sore, and the windowsill is so hard."
Chu Liyue placed her fingers on his waist and massaged it, but she didn't make a sound.
"Sister, why are you ignoring me?" Xiao Wujie opened his eyes in confusion, and saw Xiao Li's cool and beautiful face.
"Baby……"
Xiao Li sat up from her mother's arms, spread her legs, and knelt on the bed. She reached her small hand towards Xiao Wujie's waist and gently rubbed it with clumsy movements.
Xiao Wujie's cheeks flushed instantly. Ignoring his aching back, he sat up abruptly from Chu Liyue's embrace.
"Baby, Daddy is lying to Mommy, it's not...it's not sour."
Xiao Li didn't say much; she just stared at her father with wide, puzzled eyes.
Didn't Dad say his back was sore?
You said the windowsill was hard? What was Dad doing on the windowsill?
Xiao Wujie blushed, glanced at the sky outside the window, and asked in surprise, "Sister, what time is it?"
"7:30."
"Neither you nor the baby have eaten, the baby must be hungry."
Chu Liyue straightened her clothes, sat up gracefully, and asked him, "What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine with me." Xiao Wujie then turned his gaze to Xiao Li, picked up the adorable baby and placed her on his lap, asking softly, "Baby, were you getting impatient? What would you like to eat?"
Xiao Li loved the refreshing scent on her father, and gently rubbed her delicate nose against his shirt collar.
"hot pot."
Xiao Wujie was always willing to grant his beloved daughter's requests, and he quickly tried to pick her up and get out of bed.
Chu Liyue knew that the two of them had been very indulgent today, and Xiao Wujie's body couldn't take it anymore. She was sure she wouldn't want him to hold their daughter again, so she picked her up from his lap, lifted her up with one hand, and led Xiao Wujie out.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Should I carry Ah Li on my back and hug you?"
Xiao Wujie blushed and shook his head, then lowered his head to Chu Liyue's ear and gently bit her delicate earlobe, whispering shyly:
