Chapter 988 When did Dad fall in love with Mom?
At nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Qingxia took a shower, changed into her nightgown, and came out of the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror, drying her wet hair, when she suddenly looked up and saw the father and son in the mirror sneaking from the bedroom to the study with their laptops.
Bai Qingxia quickly turned around, her expression wary like a cat seeing a mouse.
"Lu Yanhe, go take a shower! Don't make me say it again!"
She called out, but her son ignored her, happily following behind his father to close the study door. Bai Jinjin, who was also following behind, almost bumped its face into the door. It looked up in dissatisfaction and meowed.
What are you doing?
Bai Qingxia, still puzzled, sped up the drying process. When her hair was half-dry, she put the hairdryer down, opened the study door, and went inside.
In the study, Lu Yuanqiu was sitting shirtless in front of his laptop typing, while Lu Yanhe was standing on a chair with his upper body leaning on the desk. He was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt on his upper body and underwear on his lower body, completely opposite to his father who was sitting down. The little guy was staring intently at the computer screen.
Seeing Bai Qingxia enter, the father and son looked up. Lu Yuanqiu subconsciously pressed down on the computer screen, as if there was some unspeakable secret on the screen.
"What are you doing?" Bai Qingxia asked, her tone accusatory.
Thanks to her, Bai Jinjin also came in, circled around and jumped onto Lu Yanhe's chair. Just like Lu Yanhe, who was holding onto the table, it put its front paws on the edge of the desk and looked at the computer, but unfortunately, it wasn't in cat language.
Lu Yuanqiu shook his head: "It's nothing."
Lu Yanhe laughed and shouted, "Dad deleted all the novels he wrote these past few days!"
His expression seemed somewhat smug.
Bai Qingxia: "Why?"
She walked over and tried to open the screen, but Lu Yuanqiu wouldn't let her, closing the laptop directly. This sight made Bai Qingxia frown in annoyance. She had been feeling unhappy these past few days because the father and son never included her in anything they did.
Lu Yuanqiu sighed: "My son provided a new outline for the novel's ending. I'll show it to you after I finish writing it. Sigh, I've written so much for nothing..."
"Provided by Yan Yan?"
"Yes!" The young man standing on the chair proudly crossed his arms.
"Now you two are in cahoots, huh? You're not including me anymore." Bai Qingxia pinched his cheek, her sad tone sounding genuine.
Lu Yanhe raised her head: "Men should do men's things with men!"
"Go take a shower! I'll beat you up if you say another word!" Bai Qingxia slapped his little bottom.
"Mom's so fierce, isn't she?" Lu Yuanqiu winked at her son, and Lu Yanhe, rubbing his bottom, happily replied "Yes," then jumped off the chair. Bai Qingxia stomped her feet and pretended to chase after him for a few steps, while Lu Yanhe sped up and rushed towards the bathroom.
Watching her son's departing figure, Bai Qingxia turned her gaze back to Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu paused for a moment, then silently stuffed the notebook into the drawer.
"What new syllabus?"
"My son won't let me tell you."
He bent down and hugged Bai Qingxia's soft, fragrant body, burying his face in her lower abdomen, inhaling her scent all the way up, finally bringing his lips close to hers: "Stop rambling, give me a kiss first, my wife~"
"Go take a shower too." Bai Qingxia turned her head to the side with a look of disgust, and Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head and kissed her snow-white neck a few times.
"Hehe, I'm off to take a shower."
After Lu Yuanqiu left, Bai Qingxia turned to look at the drawer, but she didn't open it in the end. She then left the study and headed towards the master bedroom.
"Mom! Get me my underwear!" Lu Yanhe's voice came from the bathroom.
"Okay." Bai Qingxia walked to the balcony again, picked up her son's change of underwear and came to the bathroom door. The father and son didn't even close the bathroom door. Lu Yuanqiu squatted there and lathered his son, who was standing on a stool and completely naked, with soap on his body.
The little guy closed his eyes, and warm water flowed down his hair from his face to his body. He opened his mouth and splashed water on Lu Yuanqiu's face. Lu Yuanqiu also quickly closed his eyes. Bai Qingxia laughed out loud at this scene.
Hearing the laughter from the doorway, Lu Yuanqiu grabbed a clump of foam and threw it at the woman standing there.
"You!" Bai Qingxia's expression changed, and she turned to hide by the door.
Lu Yanhe: "Hahaha!"
"Still laughing? Believe me or not, I'll beat you both up!"
"If your mother dares to come in and beat us up, we'll throw her in the bathtub and give her another bath," came Lu Yuanqiu's mutterings from inside.
"Lu Yuanqiu, you're dead if you dare go back to your bedroom!"
She could only hear their voices at the door, but couldn't see them. Only a slender forearm stretched out from the side, holding a pair of children's underwear. She swung her arm and threw her son's pants onto the shelf to avoid being attacked by the father and son again, and quickly fled to the master bedroom.
The father and son in the bathroom wore victorious smiles.
"Dad, why do you mention Feng so many times in your novel? And why does Mom like Feng so much?" Lu Yanhe grabbed a clump of foam and blew it forward, asking her father.
While rubbing his son's body, Lu Yuanqiu replied gently, "Because maple represents autumn, and who is autumn?"
Lu Yanhe: "Dad."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, Mom likes Dad."
Lu Yanhe said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. Last time in the living room you said that Mom's dress was stained red by maple leaves, but in your novel you wrote that Mom was wearing a dress that was stained red by autumn's love."
The little guy reasoned in the same way: "So, maple leaves equal dad, and the redness of maple leaves equals dad's love. When the maple leaves just start to turn red, that is, in early September, dad came into mom's world. The longer time goes on, the redder the maple leaves become, which means dad's love is deeper."
Lu Yuanqiu looked up at him, stared at him for a moment, and then playfully pinched his nose: "How do you know what's written in the novel? You haven't even learned all the words yet, have you?"
“Shuo Shuo can read, so I asked him to read the contents of your novel to me. I asked Shuo Shuo when Dad fell in love with Mom, and he said that Dad fell in love when the maple leaves turned red.”
Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Isn't that early September?"
Lu Yanhe: "Yes, Dad and Mom fell in love as soon as they met."
"Hmph." Lu Yuanqiu was amused and continued to rub his body.
"Love makes people brave, which is why Mom wore a red dress that day. She wore Dad's love on her body, so she was incredibly brave that day." Lu Yanhe muttered the contents of the novel again, seemingly having a deep impression of this passage.
“Emmm…that’s right!” Lu Yuanqiu replied.
Lu Yanhe's little mind started working: "Daddy, I need to be braver, so my clothes also need to be dyed red with love! Dyed red with the love of many, many people!"
"What?! You want to become a Boy of Light too?" Lu Yuanqiu asked in an exaggerated, comical way.
"Yes! I want to collect everyone's light, just like Ultraman Tiga!"
What is he planning to do now... Lu Yuanqiu wondered to himself.
That brat is really troublesome, even more so than when he was a kid.
