A bright, smiling face, illuminated by the ever-changing light and vibrant colors behind the upright picture book of a little sheep, reveals the extraordinary brilliance of the story.
"Reading?"
Huo Qin casually rested his hand on the switch, a hint of a smile playing on his otherwise calm tone.
Jiang Chi hadn't expected there to be a hidden meaning behind reading the book. After a brief moment of speechlessness, he weakly added two words:
"...e-books".
It's not impossible.
Chaochao, who was engrossed in watching the video, suddenly found herself in darkness. Her swaying legs stopped. "?"
Then, looking around, she spotted a tall figure standing by the door, and the cheerful smile on her round face froze instantly.
The little dumpling's smile shifted to Huo Qin's face.
In the dim light, the man with thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes slowly curved his thin lips into a slight smile, creating a ghostly and breathtaking beauty in the interplay of light and shadow.
It's so beautiful, so beautiful.
Chaochao turned her head back seriously, closed the picture book and placed it on the bedside table. She then crawled into the covers, rolled over, closed her eyes, and hypnotized herself: "Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Only the corner of the tablet peeking out from the bedside table emitted a faint, shimmering light.
Jiang Chi couldn't bear to look at him and turned his head away, unable to help.
Pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, Chaochao quietly opened her eyes a crack and peeked at Huo Qin by the door. She only glanced at him before immediately closing them tightly again. She patted her belly with her little hand and muttered to herself, "Sleep, sleep."
Then I actually managed to fall asleep.
Huo Qin glanced at the little dumpling lying peacefully on the bed, breathing long and evenly, then turned to Jiang Chi, who still wanted to watch the show, and mouthed silently: Aren't you leaving?
A knife mercilessly pierced Jiang Chi's heart, "..."
Ultimately, he was the one who was superfluous.
Forced to be sensible, Jiang Chi turned and headed towards his room, but was stopped by Huo Qin after only two or three steps.
"you say,……"
He closed the door, turned to look at Jiang Chi, his dark eyebrows furrowed slightly and then relaxed, before speaking with a normal expression.
Jiang Chi never expected that he would have the opportunity to discuss parenting issues with his uncle late at night. He was slightly dazed for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he gave a suggestion.
As expected, I heard the word "get lost".
"OK."
Jiang Chi quickly went back to his room to take a shower.
Only Huo Qin remained in place, silent for a long while, his gaze thoughtfully sweeping over the closed door.
As night deepened, Lin Cheng leaned back on the sofa at home, happily watching the latest episode of "Liang Beibei" with a bucket of popcorn in his hand.
Today, the show happened to be broadcasting the grand scene of Chaochao racing whales in the sea, and the screen was flooded with excited comments. Although I had already watched the live stream once, the picture quality was nowhere near as good.
The ocean's vibrant and dynamic beauty touches the hearts of every viewer.
Lin Cheng, who was clutching his heart, was not surprised.
Just then, he received a message from President Huo, and his laughter abruptly stopped.
A question mark slowly appeared on his face. "?"
The next morning, Lin Cheng delivered the items designated by President Huo to the villa. When handing them to Huo Qin, he said:
"Mr. Huo, this has passed international safety testing. Short-term use will not affect a child's skin, so please rest assured."
After saying that, he raised his head with a hint of anticipation, hoping that President Huo could reveal what he was going to do with this bottle. Since it was emphasized that it was a brand for children's health, it was probably going to be used on Chaochao, right?
Ahhh, I really want to know!
"Hmm." Huo Qin nodded as he took the bag, ignoring Lin Cheng's subtly intense and suggestive gaze, and went straight upstairs.
Lin Cheng, who was mercilessly left behind: "..."
With Aunt Ning seeing him off, Secretary Lin left the villa and headed towards the Huanyu Building. *Sobbing* He really wanted to join!
Inside the room, Huo Qin, having unpacked the layers of packaging, frowned as he examined the bottle in his hand.
He had never used such products before in over thirty years. After carefully reading through the instruction manual, including the chemical composition, he finally pressed the pump head.
It was just dawn, and the little one was nestled on his side in the blankets, still fast asleep.
Until a shadow crept up her cheek.
Huo Qin bent down and gently applied a little to the area around Chaochao's eyes with his fingertip. Unexpectedly, the little dumpling, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, suddenly twitched her nose and mumbled, "Peppa... Peppa..."
Huo Qin's fingertip slipped uncontrollably, and his handsome face stiffened slightly as he stared at the overlapping dark mass.
The little dumpling, lost in an unknown dream, stirred once and then remained still.
"Peppa...Peppa...kiss..."
No problem, if you don't hear the next sentence.
"Just... take a small bite..."
Huo Qin's fingertips sank again involuntarily: "..."
He lowered his eyes to look at the three dark hues on Xiao Bai's face, his fingers curled slightly, his expression blank.
Chaochao felt like she had a very long dream. In the dream, she ran to the balcony and hugged her suffering Peppa Pig. But the moment she touched her, the little balloon popped and turned into a plate of sizzling roasted pork belly.
She didn't want to, but it was delicious pork belly.
When she finally managed to beg and plead to take a bite, *smack*—
The dream is over.
"Little Qi, good morning..."
Chaochao groggily got out of bed, yawned, stretched, and then slowly climbed out of bed and went into the bathroom.
She sleepily squeezed out a little toothpaste, paused slightly just before opening her mouth in front of the mirror, moved a little to the side, then a little more, and the toothbrush fell to the ground.
Chaochao stared blankly at the little girl with panda eyes in the mirror. Oh right, that's her in the mirror.
"Waaaaah—"
A deafening cry erupted from the quiet villa in the early morning, even louder than the last time Huo Qin had cooked and blown up the kitchen.
The little girl buried her face in Huo Qin's arms, who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, her cries heart-wrenching.
"Waaaa, Daddy... Am I going to turn into a giant panda?!"
Huo Qin paused, his fingers still as he combed her hair, and fell silent.
No, because I just accidentally hit it too hard.
