Xie Qi's eyes were tightly closed, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was experiencing a nightmare.
As the dream deepened, Xie Qi's breathing gradually became rapid, his body even began to tremble unconsciously, and he uttered faint mumblings in his sleep.
[Germinate…Germinate…Germinate…Why won’t it germinate…Why…]
Little Cloud, who had been sleeping peacefully, was awakened by the slight noise. Half asleep, he rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.
When his eyes fell on Xie Qi, he suddenly came to his senses. He didn't expect that his arrival would have an impact on his father.
He didn't have time to think about it, he used his hands and feet to crawl out of the quilt, and then moved towards Xie Qi.
Finally reaching Xie Qi's side, Little Yunduo raised her little hand and slowly placed it on Xie Qi's forehead. A faint glow emanated from the palm of her hand, as if it contained some mysterious power.
However, Xiao Yunduo was still young after all. Although he tried his best to comfort Xie Qi, he was unable to fully utilize his abilities, making the whole process extremely difficult and strenuous.
Little Yunduo felt his strength draining away quickly, and his arms began to tremble. But even so, he still struggled to hold on, muttering to himself, "Dad, now is not the time for you to remember..."
Just when Xiao Yunduo was about to give up, he suddenly felt a warm and powerful force coming from behind him.
Then, a large, powerful hand covered his small hand. As the hand descended, a powerful energy flowed into Xiao Yunduo's palm like a torrent, and then passed through his palm into Xie Qi's brain.
Xiao Yunduo turned her head in surprise, and what came into her sight was Gu Ze'an's face as gentle as water.
At this moment, Gu Ze'an's deep and gentle eyes were filled with deep concern and tenderness. At the same time, he gently placed a finger on his lips, making a silencing gesture, as if to signal Xiao Yunduo to be quiet, so as not to wake Xie Qi.
Little Yunduo looked at Gu Ze'an, her eyes gradually becoming moist, and crystal tears welled up in his eyes that were as bright as gems.
However, despite feeling aggrieved and sad, Xiao Yunduo tried hard to control her emotions, turned her head away bravely, and no longer looked at Gu Ze'an.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Xie Qi's breathing gradually became steady and he fell into a deep sleep.
After confirming that Xie Qi was sound asleep, Gu Ze'an slowly bent down and gently lifted Little Yunduo's tiny body into his arms. He then got out of bed and walked towards the door step by step.
At this moment, the little cloud in Gu Ze'an's arms tightly grasped the corners of Gu Ze'an's clothes with her two little hands, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she had thousands of words to say.
But what came out of his mouth were babbling sounds. Tears gleamed in his eyes, and his appearance made people feel pity and love.
Gu Ze'an noticed Xiao Yunduo's reaction and couldn't help but sigh. Then, he raised his hand and gently tapped Xiao Yunduo's smooth forehead.
In the next second, the little cloud, who had been unable to speak clearly before, was able to utter each word clearly: "Daddy... I miss you guys so much..."
Gu Ze'an held Xiao Yunduo's delicate little hand with great heartache, kissed it softly and apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry for leaving you alone."
Little Yunduo shook her head sensibly, looked at Gu Ze'an with her clear big eyes, and replied in a baby voice: "No...it's okay, Daddy, let's save Dad..."
Hearing Little Yunduo's sweet words, Gu Ze'an smiled with relief, but soon frowned again and said worriedly, "Don't take risks like this next time. Time travel is too dangerous. What if something goes wrong..."
Little Yunduo nodded quickly and replied, "Don't worry, Daddy. The adults personally sent me here this time. I want to live with you... I promise to stay in this world only. When this is over, I will go back and wait for you."
Gu Ze'an stared at Xiao Yunduo's slightly uneasy face, and a strong sense of self-blame and guilt surged in his heart.
Ever since Little Yunduo was born, he had been unable to accompany him because he had to travel to the plane world to escort Xie Qi's soul. So, during the first two years of Little Yunduo's growth, it was 948 who took care of him wholeheartedly.
Even later when 948 took Xie Qi on a mission, Gu Ze'an still couldn't spare the time to visit him, and finally had no choice but to entrust little Yun Duo to the care of the Lord God.
Little Cloud didn't even have a name before. When 948 was taking care of Little Cloud, he always called him "little master", and the Lord God always called him "baby". It was only after coming to this world that Little Cloud finally got a name.
After that, Gu Ze'an stayed with Xiao Yunduo for a while longer and also learned why Xiao Yunduo came to this world.
Then he carried the little cloud, which was like a treasure, and slowly returned to the warm room. He gently placed the little cloud on the soft and comfortable bed, and carefully lay down beside it.
Gu Ze'an gently stretched out his hand and gently patted Xiao Yunduo's round belly, as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake.
He leaned over slightly, got close to Little Cloud's ear, and whispered in a loving voice, "Tomorrow morning, my memory will be blocked again. So... baby, help me protect Daddy."
Just as Gu Ze'an finished speaking, Xie Qi, who was sleeping beside him, turned over in a daze. He casually swung his slender and powerful arms and embraced Gu Ze'an and Xiao Yunduo in his warm embrace.
A low and slightly hoarse voice floated out from Xie Qi's slightly opened lips, mumbling like a dream: "Where have you been..."
Gu Ze'an looked up at Xie Qi, who had his eyes tightly closed. A wave of tenderness and sweetness welled up in his heart, and he responded softly, "Little Yunduo is hungry."
Hearing this, Xie Qi struggled to open one eye, and when his hazy vision met the two faces staring at him, he instantly became a little more clear-headed.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a doting smile. He then quickly kissed Gu Ze'an and Xiao Yunduo on their pink cheeks. Only then did he close his eyes again contentedly and whispered to Gu Ze'an, "You can wake me up next time and I'll help you."
"good…"
After the brief conversation, the room returned to silence. Xie Qi's broad, solid shoulders held Gu Ze'an and Xiao Yunduo tightly in his arms.
At this moment, the three of them snuggled up to each other, their foreheads touching each other, and fell into a sweet dream together.
