"No need."
Once Lu Xiaobao stripped bare naked in front of Lu Nanchen, the scar on his arm was clearly visible under the strong light, still fresh without a proper scab, probably quite recent.
Upon seeing the scar, the brows of Lu Nanchen furrowed slightly.
"How did you get this scar?"
"Hmm... a classmate accidentally caused it, it’s fine, it’s no longer bleeding." Lu Xiaobao replied.
His obedient reply didn’t help ease the crease between Lu Nanchen’s eyebrows.
"Which classmate?"
"A new first-grader~" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Thinking about what had happened before, Lu Nanchen still had his eyebrows furrowed.
"After National Day holiday, I’ll visit your school."
"Great~"
...
Later on, as the sound of water got louder, the conversation in the bathroom became inaudible, with hot steam fogging the glass wall.
After finishing up in the kitchen, Yu Ting sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Once she finished her kitchen chores, the two of them were showering in the bathroom.
She was left with nothing to do...
=-=
After sitting on the sofa browsing through short videos for half an hour, the sound of water from the bathroom suddenly stopped. Then came the sound of the door opening, and hot steam began to spread out.
Yu Ting looked in that direction, and soon she saw Lu Nanchen carrying out Xiaobao, who was in his pajamas.
The freshly-bathed Lu Xiaobao was now wearing a thin teddy bear onesie, including a bear head hat. The suit was pure brown, with a capri-length bottom, and he was wearing children’s slippers on his feet.
His shiny soft hair had not only been washed but also dried by Lu Nanchen with a hairdryer.
Perhaps due to the recent shower, his pale face was steamed to a rosy hue.
Even cuter now.
In contrast, Lu Nanchen looked a bit worse for wear, as he had gotten wet all over while helping Xiaobao bathe. His hair was soaked through at the tips, losing its usual lazy fluffiness. His upper body was the wettest, with his thin black and white shirt clinging tightly to his muscular frame, giving him an even sharper and more imposing look now.
Yu Ting: ...
Unaware why Yu Ting was staring at his chest, Lu Nanchen calmly put Xiaobao down and headed into the room to get clean clothes before heading into the shower.
Wearing his pajamas, Xiaobao seemed even smaller. After landing on the floor, seeing that Lu Nanchen was heading for a shower, he decided not to follow him.
He chose to follow Yu Ting instead.
Wearing his slippers, Xiaobao ran to Yu Ting and said, "Sister-in-law, I am done bathing!"
"Mmm." Yu Ting, who had just come back to reality, replied with an affable smile. Her gaze noticed the scar on Xiaobao’s exposed arm, about 2cm long, and her smile faded.
Yu Ting pulled Xiaobao a bit closer and took a careful look at the scar, which seemed unusual for a child his age.
"Xiaobao, what happened to your arm?"
Xiaobao’s smile abruptly paused, then he responded honestly, "One of my classmates accidentally did it."
A classmate.
Accidentally.
Gave him a knife scar?
Hearing Xiaobao’s words, Yu Ting’s expression shifted to astonishment. Based on her past life experiences of being in several fights, it didn’t seem that simple.
On the other side, wet from head to toe, Lu Nanchen walked from his room across the living room to the bathroom with a set of clean clothes. Looking at the two figures on the sofa, he said, "Go chat on the bed in the room, Xiaobao just finished showering, don’t let him catch a cold."
