Chapter 32 Dad’s Gift to Youyou
Shen Lin felt his head buzzing and his heart shattered.
But he soon came to his senses. Fortunately, his elder brother did not have the phone numbers of Uncle Qin and Uncle Su. Shen Minyan was not liked by Youyou because he looked too fierce, otherwise the opportunity to control the little guy would have been taken away from him.
"Okay, let's fight now."
Su Youli became visibly excited. She sat on the blanket and watched Shen Lin's movements with sparkling eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering when he took out his cell phone.
On the first day away from their two fathers, thanks to the power of technology, the cubs and their fathers, who were separated from each other, were able to meet again and express their longing for each other.
On the other end of the phone, Su Siwen looked at the place where the little guy was now. It was spacious and bright, and even a small exposed corner looked luxurious.
The two fathers felt that they had done the right thing, but when they saw the cute little face of the little one, their longing for him kept popping up like bubbles in soda.
Su Youli held the phone in both hands, held in Shen Lin's arms, with her round face pressed tightly against the screen. She spoke a little slowly, but every word was extremely clear.
He told the fathers that he had met a brother named Xiao Tang and an older brother. He went to play in the garden for a while today. There were many cute plants there, but he didn’t know the names of those plants.
Su Siwen smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Baby, Daddy hid a small gift for you in your schoolbag. Can you find it?"
Gift!
The little guy raised his hand and said, "Baby can find it!"
Su Youli got off Shen Lin and ran to the cloakroom wearing his little panda slippers to find the small schoolbag he was carrying today.
Shen Lin greeted Su Siwen and turned the camera to face Su Youli's back.
Then Su Siwen and Qin Kun saw the luxurious dressing room that could only be seen in TV dramas.
The cloakroom is very large, even larger than the entire second floor of the Su family’s house. What surprised them was that the wardrobes, cabinets and other furnishings were all designed according to the little one’s height.
As soon as the 1.80-meter-tall Shen Lin entered, it was as if he had accidentally entered a kingdom of young children.
On the other side, Su Youli had already found the small schoolbag he was carrying today. He took out the schoolbag from the cabinet with both hands, then sat down on the spot, looking for the surprise gift his father had prepared for him with anticipation.
Shen Lin held the phone and pointed it at the little guy who was conscientious and focused, and asked curiously: "Uncle Su, what gift did you prepare for Youyou?"
Su Siwen's voice came from the phone: "Nothing, it's a handicraft I made for Youyou before."
"Found it--" The little guy held up a book wrapped in beautiful wrapping paper with one hand and looked up excitedly. He looked as if he had obtained a golden martial arts secret book.
"Open it and take a look."
It was obvious that the wrapping paper and ribbon were prepared carefully by his father. Su Youli was a little afraid of damaging them, so he gave the gift to Shen Lin for help.
Shen Lin lived up to his expectations and took off the wrapping paper and ribbon completely. With sweat on his forehead, he handed the gift to Su Youli.
"Thank you, brother!"
The gift was a book called "Plant Observation Notes", the cover of which was wrapped in soft cloth and printed with Su Youli's own drawings of some unknown grasses, flowers, and even small mushrooms.
Su Youli kept touching the uneven little plants with his hands, and he recognized that these were the paintings he had drawn.
"This was drawn by Youyou!" The little guy pointed at himself while holding the gift.
Su Siwen smiled and said, "Yes, baby, do you like this gift?"
"I like it!" The little guy nodded vigorously.
The contents of the book record some simple knowledge about plants, and the accompanying pictures are drawn by Su Siwen himself. In order to suit the preferences of the little ones, the brushstrokes add a bit of childishness to the realism, which can not only allow the little ones to recognize the characteristics of the plants, but also make the book not look boring.
Every page of this handmade book is beautiful and seems completely understandable to a three year old.
The little guy turned the pages one by one. When he turned to the third page, he found a pull-page. He pulled it with his little hand, and a picture of Su Youli holding Yuanzi and running in the Su family garden appeared.
"Wow!"
Su Youli liked this gift so much that when he came across the plants that he and brother Xiao Tang saw in the garden today, he held the book high and told his father, "These are the plants that Youyou saw today."
The video call lasted for more than an hour before it was disconnected.
When it was time to go to bed, the little guy brushed his teeth and washed his face by himself. Shen Lin was quick-witted and picked up the job of wiping the little guy's face.
The little guy can't sleep independently yet, and this is the first time he sleeps separately from Su Siwen and Qin Kun.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, the little guy, wearing his soft little pajamas, held the gift his father gave him and refused to let go.
Shen Lin turned off the main lights, leaving only a small light to help with sleeping, lifted the quilt and sat next to Su Youli: "Is it okay for the second brother to sleep with Youyou today?"
Anyway, since there are no two fathers around, it doesn’t matter who Youyou sleeps with.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she generously shared some of her small quilt with her brother.
Shen Lin stroked his soft hair, hugged the little guy who looked like a marshmallow, patted his back, and began to coax him to sleep according to the way Tang Dou taught him.
But as I was coaxing him, I felt something was wrong. It felt like something was prickling me.
He reached out and found the observation notebook from the little guy.
Shen Lin found it a little funny, "Youyou, let's watch it after we wake up tomorrow, okay?"
Hearing his brother say this, the little guy held the notebook tighter, "...Brother, I want to sleep with it."
This was made by his father himself. When he sleeps with this book in his arms, it feels like his father is by his side.
Shen Lin blinked and pinched the little guy's cheek, "But if you sleep with a book like this, you might damage it."
The little guy blinked in disbelief. How could it be broken? This was made for him by his dad himself.
The little guy sat up and pouted: "Don't break it."
Shen Lin picked him up and walked back to the cloakroom, "Let's put it in its home, so that when Youyou sleeps, the book will sleep too, and we can see it again when we wake up tomorrow!"
Su Youli's eyes lit up, as if it made sense.
The little guy carefully put the book into his schoolbag and put the schoolbag into the cabinet.
Shen Lin's plan succeeded. After all, children of this age even think that stones on the roadside are alive, so it is not surprising that a book needs to sleep.
With his brother's company, the little guy slept well on his first night in his new home.
The next morning, Su Youli felt a cold belly. Then he frowned in his sleep and slowly woke up with his big eyes.
