"Daddy, feed Youyou." Little Youyou grabbed Xian Mingyu's arm and snuggled into his arms.
"Youyou, you eat by yourself." Mo Niannian glared at Youyou seriously, then put some fish and vegetables into her bowl.
Just now, when Xuan Mingyu was cooking in the small kitchen in the ward, Youyou cried and shouted that she wanted her dad to hold her and wouldn't let him. After the food was finally cooked, she couldn't wait to stick to Xuan Mingyu.
This little one learned to eat by herself when she was just over two years old, and she can even use chopsticks. She doesn't need anyone to feed her.
"No! I want Daddy to feed me!"
"Youyou, you've been clinging to Daddy for so long, get down! Eat by yourself!"
Little Youyou pouted, about to cry again, and Xianmingyu quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, Daddy will feed you, Youyou, don't cry."
This little guy is so clever! His miserable little face immediately broke into a smile, and there wasn't a trace of tears left.
That was all an act.
Mo Niannian really couldn't do anything with her. Oh well, considering she was still injured, she would let her act cute for a while.
......
After dinner, when Xuan Mingyu was about to wash the dishes, the little guy started clinging to him again, saying, "Daddy, don't go, don't go."
"Daddy's going to wash the dishes. You sit quietly."
"No, no, let Mom wash the dishes. Youyou wants to stay with Dad."
Well, she ended up doing all the hard labor.
This little rascal, he really only recognizes his father and not his mother now, doesn't he?
"You play with her, I'll go wash the dishes." Mo Niannian stood up on her own, cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, her face expressionless, and carried the pile of dishes and chopsticks into the small kitchen.
As she was washing, a pair of strong hands moved from behind her to her waist. "Stop washing, I'll take care of the rest."
Mo Niannian's tone was tinged with jealousy, "Why are you washing? Isn't Youyou clinging to you anymore?"
"I just got her to sleep."
Perhaps because of her injuries, the little one gets tired easily. She gets sleepy after eating and doesn't need much coaxing; she falls asleep in his arms in no time.
"Oh." Mo Niannian continued washing the plates in her hands, without much reaction.
Xian Mingyu took the plate from behind her, put it aside, and turned off the running tap.
He pulled her close, around her slender waist, and turned her to face him.
"What are you doing?" Mo Niannian nudged him with her hand, glancing at the kitchen doorway. Youyou was still outside; he couldn't possibly do anything bad to her.
"Niannian, I missed you." He tightened his grip on her waist and leaned closer to her.
Mo Niannian quickly covered her mouth with her hand, "Stop messing around, Youyou is still outside."
“She’s asleep. The bed is so high, she’s too scared to get down by herself.” He removed her hand and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Sigh, to be honest, how could she not miss him too?
Last night, Youyou needed an IV drip, and she and Xianmingyu took turns getting up to keep an eye on her.
Little Youyou was restless in her sleep, moving around and kicking off the blankets. Then she suddenly started crying in the middle of the night, so the two of them couldn't even have a proper conversation because they were both busy taking care of the little one.
I haven't seen him for several days. Actually, I really want to be like Youyou, clinging to him and asking for hugs, even if we don't do anything, just staying with him from morning till night.
If it weren't for that little guy constantly monopolizing her, she wouldn't be washing dishes all alone here.
Thinking this, Mo Niannian wrapped her arms around Xian Mingyu's neck and closed her eyes—
"Daddy! Daddy, where did you go? Daddy!"
The little guy's clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the small kitchen.
Mo Niannian opened her eyes, released the man in front of her, and looked very impatient.
Ugh! I've had enough!
Didn't he say Youyou was asleep? What's going on?
As soon as she woke up, she started looking for her father again.
Xian Mingyu had no choice but to go out and check on her first, lest the little one get so anxious that she actually rolled off the bed.
Mo Niannian turned around and continued washing the dishes she hadn't finished washing earlier, still fuming.
......
When she finished washing the dishes and came out, Xiao Youyou was leaning against Xian Mingyu's chest, playing games on his phone.
Sometimes when she couldn't pass a level on her own, she would ask Hsien Ming-yu to play for her. The two of them would stare intently at their phones, one big and one small, their profiles almost identical.
Mo Niannian almost thought that the two of them were really father and daughter.
"Youyou, you can't play on your phone for so long, it's bad for your eyes."
"Okay," Xiaoyouyou replied, her eyes never leaving her phone.
After a while, she was still playing, so Mo Niannian simply snatched the phone from her little hand. "Stop playing, it's time to sleep." It was already afternoon, and she usually took a nap at this time.
It's been delayed for far too long.
If the little one doesn't take a nap, he'll doze off during dinner.
The moment her mother snatched the phone away, the little one burst into tears, crying, "Phone! Youyou's phone!" Little Youyou grabbed Xian Mingyu's clothes, her chubby little hand pointing at Mo Niannian, "Daddy, phone! Youyou wants a phone!"
"Youyou, be a good girl, Mommy will hold you and let you sleep."
Mo Niannian reached out to hug her, but Xiao Youyou pouted and clung tightly to Xian Mingyu, refusing to let Mo Niannian hug her. "No, no Mommy, Youyou wants Daddy to hug her."
"Youyou, you can't cling to your dad all day long! Be good! Come here and let Mommy hug you!" Mo Niannian put her hands on her hips and glared at her, pretending to be angry.
Little Youyou shook her head, "Youyou wants Daddy, Daddy hold me."
