Even though going back might mean catching a cold, the cub's eyes remained bright and alert, showing that its excitement hadn't worn off yet.
These happy memories will surely accompany the cub as it grows up.
It will also accompany Shi Qianxi throughout her life.
Even though they were wearing raincoats, they were still mostly soaked.
Shi Qianxi was very worried that the cub might be uncomfortable, so the first thing she did when she got home was to take the cub straight to the bathroom for a bath.
However, only Shi Qianxi was nervous. After the baby's excitement wore off, it started to get sleepy. By the second half of the bath, it became drowsy, lay on its father's arm, closed its eyes, and lost consciousness.
After washing away the moisture from the baby in her arms, Shi Qianxi carefully dried him off before remembering to groom herself.
However, he always follows the proper procedures.
Shi Qianxi finished quickly and decisively, only to find that the room was a complete mess after he and the cub came out of the bathroom.
Some were toys that the toddlers had forgotten to put away while playing with them before leaving the house, and others were various clothes that he had hurriedly left at the door.
It turns out that his home, which looked like a show home, is no longer there.
Instead, it became a family with cubs.
Every inch of this place bears the footprints of the cubs' exploration, and the traces they left behind using various methods.
This is home.
It's the territory of the child and the father.
These miscellaneous baby bottles, formula, play mats, colored pens with missing caps, cuddly dolls, plush toys, toy cars... are all their subjects.
They live together in the house, loyally and steadfastly guarding their owners' feet.
The warm yellow light illuminated the traces in the room.
Holding the child, Shi Qianxi felt the most tender emotions welling up from her heart.
So this is what home is, this is what family is.
Warmth shone on his shoulders as the lamplight fell upon him; he certainly wouldn't have noticed this before.
But now, even the lampshade has been replaced by Shi Qianxi in the shape of a star.
He is different now.
Shi Qianxi pressed his hand to his chest, feeling a surge of bittersweet emotion coursing through his heart.
It turns out that love is not just about happiness.
Shi Qianxi pulled the smelly baby into her arms, tightening her grip and completely encircling the baby in her control.
Then, he kissed the cub's sleeping face with satisfaction, preparing to fall asleep with the cub.
Even though Shi Qianxi took all the precautions, the cub still had a low-grade fever the next day and looked listless.
Seeing this, Shi Qianxi was definitely unwilling to leave the cub even for a moment, so he had no choice but to ask the company for leave.
"Daddy..." The little boy leaned listlessly against Shi Qianxi's chest, watching Shi Qianxi busy herself taking care of him.
Shi Qianxi patted his bottom and said to him, "Baby, it's okay. Everyone gets sick. Don't feel guilty."
"Get well soon, baby. You're such a strong baby. Daddy will make you something delicious, okay?"
The cub nodded obediently with a droopy little face; even its sickly appearance was adorable.
But now is not the time to appreciate it.
Shi Qianxi left the baby alone at home for the time being and went out to buy a thermometer and children's fever reducer for the baby.
After all, that parenting manual said that you must be careful when your baby gets sick, because the baby might die.
Thinking about the kind of patients those hospitals actually treated, Shi Qianxi had no choice but to go out and buy medicine herself to ensure the safety of her cubs.
Halfway there, he was struck hard on the back of the head by a club that fell from the sky, and fell down silently. He was then dragged into an alley.
The person who harbored murderous intent towards him was actually his colleague.
Ever since his colleague saw the cub, he's been mentally unstable, his mind filled with images of the cub, and a voice inside him says:
"Only by killing Shi Qianxi can you become the cub's sole guardian..."
"Look how stingy Shi Qianxi is! He won't even let you see the cub. Such a cute cub should be available to everyone, but Shi Qianxi is keeping it to himself!"
"It's all because of Shi Qianxi! That damned Shi Qianxi! He must be torn to pieces!!!"
When his colleague, swayed by that voice, struck Shi Qianxi on the head with a stick, there was no turning back.
After he dragged Shi Qianxi to a corner, many more people emerged from the darkness.
They were all Shi Qianxi's colleagues.
Now, in a strikingly similar way, they have become Shi Qianxi's enemies.
They felt nauseous just thinking about Shi Qianxi's every move, and they found her face hypocritical. But if asked what Shi Qianxi had done...
Then you can only blame him; blame him for being universally disliked.
It's the game's design that's to blame!
"Cut his head off! Dispose of the body in various places! We've killed someone, and we absolutely cannot let the police find out!"
In the darkness, Shi Qianxi silently opened his eyes and stared at those who would still hurt him at the slightest provocation.
He's used to it.
But he's been made to look so bad, how is he supposed to go back to see the cubs?
These people deserve to die...
Shi Qianxi moved her hand and struggled to get up...
...
It's been a long time since Dad left.
The cub is a mature cub; of course, he can take care of himself, pour himself water and take his medicine, and snuggle obediently in his blanket to lull himself to sleep.
But he was worried about his father.
I've been away for so long, is there any chance something might happen?
At this moment, the cub only regretted that he could grow up instantly, mature and steady, push open the door, and go out to find his ordinary father who had not returned home all night.
