Chapter 17 Afternoon
The next day, when Xu Chunian got up, Zhuzhu and Jiang Huaixu were already having breakfast.
She yawned and sat down on the dining chair, "Good morning."
As always, she was met with silence.
Zhuzhu peeled off the last piece of the egg shell. Her little hands were still unable to hold the egg, so she placed it on the plate in front of Xu Chunian.
Xu Chunian was stunned for a moment, "Thank you Zhuzhu."
After finishing her breakfast quietly, Zhuzhu returned to her small bedroom and sat on the carpet to read.
Jiang Huaixu went back to his study after dinner. The CEOs in novels all go to work whenever they want, but why does it become 996 for Jiang Huaixu? Xu Chunian secretly complained in her heart.

"Knock knock knock"
Xu Chunian brought some fruit and knocked on Zhuzhu's bedroom door twice. After pushing it open, Zhuzhu put the fairy tale book on her lap, and the little pig was lying in the middle of the book as usual.
Xu Chunian sat down next to Zhuzhu and picked up some blueberries to feed her. "Zhuzhu, you've been watching all morning. Can I take you for a walk in the back?"
Zhuzhu was no longer as afraid of her as before, but she was still a little timid when she saw her. She wanted to approach her but was afraid.
"Is it okay?" Xu Chunian asked patiently.
Zhuzhu opened her mouth and took a bite of the blueberry, nodded slightly, put the book on her lap away and put it on the small shelf.
Xu Chunian's heart softened, and he took her wrist and went downstairs.
It was an early summer morning and the sun had already filled the garden at the back. The unknown small trees in the yard were rustling in the wind, and the sun was shining on the leaves, casting shadows that kept swaying on the ground.
"Zhuzhu, do you know what flower that is?" Xu Chunian pointed at the colorful flowers in the small garden.
"That's a peony flower." Xu Chunian said, "I like peonies the best."
Peonies of various colors occupy almost half of the garden.
"And this one, this is a hydrangea. Doesn't it look like a ball?"
Zhuzhu nodded, pointed at the small white flower in front of her, and raised her head.
"This is jasmine, baby." Xu Chunian bent down and pinched a small flower and gave it to her. "Smell it. Is it fragrant?"
Zhuzhu was holding a piggy doll in her hand. Xu Chunian reached out to her, "I'll hold this for you, okay? Huahua is for you."
Zhuzhu held the piglet and hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed it to her.
Xu Chunian handed the small flower to her. Zhuzhu took the flower and put it under her nose to smell it.
"Does it smell good?" Xu Chunian held her wrist.
Zhuzhu let her lead the way. There was a white swing in the courtyard, surrounded by vines full of flowers that climbed up the white pillars.
Xu Chunian picked up Zhuzhu and put her pig doll next to her, then went around to the back and pushed her gently. Zhuzhu curled her eyes.
The swing was swinging in the wind, and Zhuzhu's soft hair was blown back, revealing her small and delicate facial features.
The willow trees next to them were also swaying. Xu Chunian broke off some willow branches, made them into a wreath, and put it on Zhuzhu's head.
"What a beautiful baby." Xu Chunian held her little face, overflowing with maternal love. Zhuzhu's big eyes like black grapes and her long and thick eyelashes made her look like a little princess in a fairy tale.
Just as she was about to stand up to help her push the swing, Zhuzhu grabbed her hand. Xu Chunian looked down at her, and Zhuzhu stretched out her little hand and patted the seat next to her.
"Do you want me to sit with you?"
Zhuzhu nodded, put the flower in her hand on her legs, and took the pig doll next to her to make room for her.
Xu Chunian sat next to her and held her in his arms, "Are you ready? We are about to take off!"
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and swung out on the swing.
Suddenly falling into Xiangxiang's soft arms, Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then when she felt the swing move violently, she raised the corner of her mouth.
Upstairs, in front of the French window, a man's tall figure stood by the window, his eyes fixed on the white swing in the courtyard, his deep eyes filled with incomprehensible emotions.
